I heard on Av 3, August 8, 1948

There is a difference between corporeality and spirituality: In corporeality, the strength precedes the act, as it is written, “Before they call, I will answer.” There, the order is according to the end of correction, where nothing is done before there is the strength to do it. In spirituality, however, where it is still not arranged according to the end, but by the order of scrutinies, the work must begin before the attainment of the strength, as it is written, “doers of His word, to hear the voice of His word.”
