Notes
In Jewish literature Tikkun may refer to a process of alignment that leads to perfection, and it may also refer to the actual attainment of perfection, in a personal, collective, an eschatological sense.[1]
"Following the divine demands signifies overcoming the physical and evil within man, and thus denotes the spiritual victory of good over evil. The accumulation of such minute victories enhances the completion of the tikkun, while sins and transgressions strengthen the evil powers and delay the achievement of redemption....Every person, every deed, every moment is integrated in the vast mythical project of the tikkun, whether they know and wish it or not. One cannot resign from this cosmic struggle; such a resignation constitutes a sin, which empowers the satanic forces."[2]
