Kabbalists On The Torah And Commandments, Part 10
Dear Friends, please ask questions about these passages from the great Kabbalists. The commentaries in brackets are mine.
The Essence of the Work in Torah and Mitzvot
The purpose of the study of Torah [Kabbalah which unveils the Torah] is to come to feel the Giver of the Torah. If one does not place the goal of reaching the Giver of the Torah [the Creator] before one’s eyes, he is considered “a gentile [one who does not desire to reveal the Creator, regardless of his origin or nationality],” meaning he has no need for faith [perceiving the Creator], that is, to have a need to seek advice [the instructions of the Torah, the advices of Kabbalists] for achieving faith [perceiving the Creator]. This is why he is still regarded as “a gentile [he who does not strive to reveal the Creator]” and not as “Israel [he who aspires for the Creator].”
– Rabash, The Rungs of the Ladder, “What are Torah and Work on the Path of the Creator”
