I say to students of Kabala: "When you have built your temple
you lay the tools aside. Don't throw them away though as
better ones will come along and you will need to maintain the
building on a regular basis." Or words to that effect. Some
folk seem to want to keep playing with the tools so much they
hardly build anything let alone a temple.
