ALL BY MYSELF
There must be avodah by one’s own efforts. There is something superior about being taken by the hand and led; it is more precious, though, when the person himself strives. (HaYom Yom, 29 Av)
The Jews are rooted in G-d’s essence. Our efforts infuse G-d’s essence into everything, elevating the world, even Torah and mitzvos. For that reason, every aspect of Moshiach must be accomplished with at least some effort on our part. G-d will help, but we must do what we can.
Maamarim Meluket, vol. 1
V’Haya Bayom Hahu 5728, sec. 4, pg.12
