From the Rebbe’s talks, Winter 1966

Our sages have said: “All that G-d created was created for His honor.” This applies also to all the scientific discoveries of recent years--their purpose is to add honor to G-d by using them for holiness, Torah and mitzvot… There is a special advantage in using radio to teach Torah. Even if a person is not sufficiently motivated to go and attend a class, or even if he only turned on the radio to hear something else--the words of Torah reach him. Furthermore: also in a place where there is no human being to hear these words, or not even a radio receiver to make them audible, the words themselves permeate the place, achieving the end of “spreading the wellsprings of divine wisdom to the outside.”
