Even with all of that, those vessels were not completely perfected. (The Ari z”l died in the year 5332 from creation [1572], as is known.) Hence, the world was not yet prepared for the revelation of his words, and his sanctified words could be understood only by a few elite individuals, who were not permitted to publicize them to the world. But in our generation, now that we are nearing the end of the second two thousand years, it is permitted to reveal his [the Ari’s] words and the words of the Zohar to the world. This is very important. From our generation and on, the words of the Zohar will be increasingly revealed, until all that God has planned for the complete revelation will be completed.
