The Maharal tries as far as possible to remove himself from establishing the law upon a theological fiction that perceives in God positive traits worthy of emulation. The Biblical Law is a Divine Decree which harmonizes the judicial with the Divine Intellect. An absolute correlation is seen to exist between the essence of man and both the judicial and metaphysical orders. It follows that actions are, in a paradoxical fashion, the absolute spiritual good. Man's integrity is achieved via deeds rather than through theorizing.
Justice is translatable into deeds.
The Maharal defines man as a being who simultaneously belongs to two systems - the natural and the supernatural ones. The 365 negative commandments reflect the natural system of the solar year, while the 248 positive commandments are seen as against the supernatural system. Man does not progress to the mysticism of the annulment of materiality, but rather, towards complete actualization permitting him to enter the kingdom of the spirit by way of deeds. In the Torah, as in man, are found various material and spiritual systems, bearing within their infinity actualized and yet to be actualized experiences. The mitzvot in their present form will be nullified in the future, and yet, the Torah is eternal.
