"Kol makom shegalu yisrael shchina galtah imahem".  The l'sheim yihud 
can be understood on a humble level as an allegorical expression of the 
apocalyptic attitude (perhaps prayer would be a better word) that 
fulfilling mitzvoth will end the exile and inaugurate the Messianic era.

I'll add a lawyerlike caveat here: this post should not be taken as an 
endorsement either of saying "l'sheim yihud" or of a theurgic view of 
mitvoth.
