“Yet [134] even though the sense world mimics the divine like a shadow,
and the divine world is self-sufficient and totally independent, still it is
impossible to postulate complete nonexistence for the sensory world, for
the very reason that it does reflect the world of the divine. The destruction
of the world, then, can mean only that it is transformed, not that it goes
out of existence altogether. The Holy Book speaks clearly to this effect in
describing how the mountains will be set in motion and become like tufts
of wool, and men like moths, the sun and moon cast down, the seas split open and spilled out, on the Day when the earth turns to what is no longer
earth, and the heavens to what is no longer heaven.”

“If there is a Being Whose perfection is infinite, Whose splendor [95] and
goodness know no bounds, Who is beyond perfection, goodness, and
beauty, a Being such that no perfection, no goodness, no beauty, no
splendor does not flow from Him, then to lose hold of such a Being, and
having known Him to be unable to find Him must mean infinite torture as
long as He is not found. Likewise to preserve constant awareness of Him
is to know joy without lapse, unending bliss, infinite rapture and delight.”
