Based on Rav Kook's Ein Ayah. Coming into contact with the Jewish nation. The great tzaddikim (righteous ones) are compared to fish who have emerged from the sea to share the secrets of the deep that are concealed within us. What exactly happened on those two occasions when Rebbi Shimon and his son left the cave? Why was Rebbi Shimon upset with Jews working the land after he left the cave for the first time, and what happened to his initial anger at the Romans? The natual inclination of a Jew to struggle for a cause that will better his community's and nation's lot. Gan Eden, the natural place of a Jew. Death means when something is separated from its source. Rebbi Shimon wanted Jews to be in a state of "Gan Eden before the sin." Rebbi Shimon believed that a person, in a second, can return to his natural holy state and taht the world can then return to its natural state and produce everything we need.
