On the first day of Passover, we exit our egoistic intention for self-benefit alone, which Egypt represents, and we continue exiting this self-serving intention on each successive day until we reach a complete detachment from the control of egoism. We accordingly approach the Red Sea, and become ready to leap into it in order to completely detach ourselves from egoism, i.e., from Egypt.
Egypt is the final frontier of the corporeal egoistic world beyond which lies an arbitrary line called “the Machsom” (“barrier”). By crossing this barrier, we start feeling the spiritual qualities of love, bestowal and connection. We then undergo a transformation where we think how we can increasingly realize ourselves in those spiritual qualities through others. As a result, in these qualities, we start feeling that we become filled with the highest possible spiritual quality, the Creator.
