Regarding this post - here is a GREAT revelation. Maran HaRav Kook expresses a similar idea here [if anyone wants to translate for the benefit others, that would be a GREAT service to millions of readers. Every Jew is a WHOLE WORLD]. Maran HaRav Hutner was a talmid of Rav Kook so it COULD BE that he learned the idea from his Rebbi.
Either way - it is a GEVALLLLDIK thought. Pil-ei Pla-os. Imagine if you felt what he writes every morning when you say מודה אני.
