In the spiritual realm, there are concepts that relate to roots. And in our world, in the material realm, there are also names, concepts, and results that stem from those roots. These are two domains: the spiritual domain, and below it, the material domain.

Baal HaSulam explains the concepts of root and branch in the section “Inner Observation” of the first part of The Study of the Ten Sefirot. He cites the saying that there is not a blade of grass on earth that does not have an angel above it that strikes it and tells it, “Grow!”

That is, in this world, every object, quality, force, or desire—anything that exists in any form on the still, vegetative, animate, and speaking levels—has a spiritual root from which it originates.

This root gives life to the created being and, as it is said, strikes it and says, “Grow!” By increasing the sensation of lack of fulfillment within it in various ways each time, it intentionally drives it toward growth.

Since this is determined by the spiritual realm, where the roots reside and from which all pressure of governance and control descends, everything below is compelled to grow. The wisdom of Kabbalah deals with showing a person how they can change their destiny, how, without waiting for the “blow,” they can rise and perform all the necessary actions themselves, and thus grow more efficiently and quickly.

This personal participation is called “Israel.” A person, on their own, strives directly toward the Creator, since in any case they are “growing.” But the question is whether they wish to do so independently. In that case, they transition from the state called “the nations of the world” to the state called “Israel.”

The wisdom of Kabbalah speaks about these qualities from a spiritual perspective. But of course, in the material realm as well, as a result that is manifested in matter, we acquire the same concepts. First, we correct the vessels of GE, which are called “Israel” and are “few among the nations of the world.” Then comes AHP de Aliyah, and only afterward the true AHP.

When Israel (GE) from all the shattered vessels correct themselves, they must completely exit all the vessels. These actions are called “holiness” and “purification,” the making of a covenant.
