Our Sages teach: "Moshiach will come only when the mind is otherwise occupied."
In truth, this is the highest form of expecting Moshiach. We must await Moshiach regardless of our understanding of the benefit we will derive from his coming. We must cast aside all thought of material or spiritual gain, focusing on only one thing: With the coming of Moshiach, the Divine intent of creation -- that G-d will have an abode in this world -- will be fulfilled.
