Part 2: For if there had been no damage in them, there would have been no destruction in the world. As I have already explained to you, the “kings” that were negated (the Sefirot that were “broken”) are themselves the measure and calculation of the way things were to be in their state of destruction. And if their repair had been fully completed, that would have been the end of everything. This refers to the complete perfection that must emerge in the creations in order for them to endure, as mentioned above.
