The supreme holiness is the holiness of silence, of being, when a person recognizes herself as nonexistent in her individual inwardness, and lives a collective life, the life of all, experiencing the vitality of the inanimate, the vegetative and the animal, the life of all being, of all speaking creatures, of each and every person, the life of all, recognizing, attaining, feeling everything. ~ Rav A.I. Kook, Lights of Holiness, Vol. 2, Pg 297
