Just to clarify, when you say the "Torah," you don't mean the Pesukim. You mean the ספה"ק.

 

An oversimplified answer: Every Mitzvah we do sanctifies the universe a bit. When the accumulated sanctification reaches a certain point, Acharis Hayamim happens. The ingredient in the physical universe that allows this sanctification through MItzvos is what you refer to as "sparks of holiness."
