"הרהור כדיבור דמי"
Contemplation is like speaking.
Is intention enough? Is it the thought that counts? Or does what comes out of our mouth count more?
No - thought is not enough. Good intentions are not enough. One must actually act in the world in a way which will bring divinity into this world. And how does one do that, even when we are not in spiritual or physical shape to do what is required?

"בדבר שהציבור עוסקין בו"
Through that which the people are engaged in.
When one can't themselves take part, continuing to be part of the community and tying your fate to theirs is the best we can do to make sure that we too have played our part in bringing redemption.
May we all merit to be spiritually ready, and even if not, may we all join with the community for the common good.
