Likutei Moharan I, 35:8

8. And when a person engages in business faithfully, he engages in monetary laws, that is, the plain meaning of the Torah, and this is the aspect of offering the continual offering (tamid) and burning the incense. For through the tamid, Chokhmah, Binah and Da'at of Asiyah (the World of Action) ascend into Yetzirah (the World of Formation), and all the holy sparks that are in the kelipah ascend, in the secret of the eleven spices of the incense, into the aspect of Malkhut.

And when a person engages in business, and business is the aspect of monetary laws, that is, the plain meaning of the Torah, it follows that at the time he is conducting business he is engaged in the plain meaning of the Torah, which is the aspect of Metatron, who nests in Yetzirah. It follows that his Chokhmah, Binah and Da'at, in conducting business, ascend into Yetzirah, that is, to the plain meaning of the Torah, and all the sparks of holiness that are within the nations and the countries round about Jerusalem ascend to the aspect of faith, which is called Jerusalem and Malkhut. When this one rises, that one falls. For the destruction of faith is called the destruction of Jerusalem, as our sages, of blessed memory, expounded (Shabbat 119b): "Jerusalem was destroyed only because people of faith ceased from it." (See there; it is explained that their intention is regarding conducting business faithfully.)

And when Jerusalem, that is, faith, that is, business, which is the plain meaning of the Torah, grows strong, then these nations and countries fall, and all the holy sparks that are among them ascend from it, in the secret of the eleven spices of the incense.

And this is what our sages, of blessed memory, said (Sanhedrin 20b): "Israel were commanded three commandments upon their entry into the Land: to appoint a king, to cut off the seed of Amalek, and to build the Holy Temple." And one depends on the other. For appointing a king is the aspect of faith, as mentioned above.

And cutting off the seed of Amalek: these are the sparks that ascend from among the nations and the countries, in the aspect of the eleven spices of the incense, as is brought in the Midrash (Ruth, parashah 1): Why was the portion of cutting off the seed of Amalek placed next to the portion of weights? To say that because of the sin of false weights the war of Amalek came. And this is the same thing, as is known.

And building the Holy Temple is the aspect of the light of the countenance, which is the aspect of the renewal of the mind, the renewal of the soul, as our sages, of blessed memory, said (Berakhot 33a): "Whoever has knowledge, it is as though the Holy Temple were built in his days," and as mentioned above.
