Moshiach-Times, Part 1: Future Lifestyles

Disc 74, Program 293
Event Date: 11 Nissan 5745 - April 02, 1985
Maimonides concludes his code of law, the Mishneh Torah, by describing the era of Moshiach as a time of peace, abundance and enlightenment. All luxuries will be readily available, and yet they will be esteemed in man’s eyes as the dust. As such, we will devote ourselves totally to the study of Torah. In exile, it is valid to serve G-d through mundane pursuits. In the era of Moshiach, however, there will be a higher standard. All people, including non-Jews, will devote themselves exclusively to the pursuit of G-dly knowledge. In exile, one mainly studies Torah in order to know how to act. Those who reach a higher level, study in order to discover the infinite Divine knowledge. But in the era of Moshiach, all will study Torah for the sake of knowing G-d alone. |

Perhaps anything that is readily available is esteemed lightly. I remember a story about a Taoist sage castigating the Emperor for failing to appreciate him with a parable about the virtues of the rooster.

Maimonides does not say that we will value the luxuries as dust in effect and only after they have been made plentiful.
This is not to be classified as a cause and effect relationship.
We will open our eyes to see what is worthy and precious and spend our time and energy chasing truth versus physicality.
Hashem will provide abundantly for us so we should never have to spend any of our time and effort on physicality.

Chinese proverb: Put good people in charge and people will chum together and mistakes will be covered up but put scoundrels in charge and crime will be punished.
