Sorry for all the short posts...

R' Shimon Shkop turns this notion of "shekol mah shebara veyatzar hayah
Retzono yisbarakh raq leheitiv im hanivra'im" into an imperative. That
this is the essence of vehalakhta bidrakhav
    vechayei olam nata besokheinu sheyihyeh adir cheftzeinu
    leheitiv im zulaseinu
and (a few lines later) the definition of "qedoshim tihyu ki Qadosh
Ani".

Leshitaso, life of qedushah is a life of dedication letovas harabim. (Yes,
this is then tied to "perushim tihyu".)

Which actually ties this thread to those on Pirqei Avos and self
perfection...

Tir'u baTov!
