The streams of Teshuvah, both the individual and the general, rush along. They are like waves of flames on the surface of the sun, which, in an unceasing struggle, burst forth, go up, and give life to the multitude of worlds and to uncountable creatures. …
Through Teshuvah everything returns to godliness. The reality of the power of Teshuvah that rules over all the worlds returns and reconnects all things in the perfect divine reality. Orot HaTeshuvah Rabbi Avraham Yizhak Hacohen Kook.
Teshuvah, the mere possibility of Teshuvah, is thus a gift of the Creator to the created beings.
Teshuvah means that we do not have to be separated from our Creator, or remain distanced, but that we all have the possibility of fulfilling the purpose for which we are created and becoming one with the Divine. Through our work in Torah and mitzvot, what seems to be an unattainable aim becomes a real possibility.
