Meaning Of Life, Part 5
Push to the Revelation of the Purpose of Creation
Question: Is the meaning of life from the point of view of Kabbalah in the revelation of the Creator within a person precisely when one exists in this world, in this body, that is, when one leads an ordinary human life?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Is it felt like a great pleasure? After all, it is written in all Kabbalistic sources that the purpose of creation is in bringing pleasure to the created beings.
Answer: Bringing pleasure through what? It is through the revelation of the Creator.
Question: So, does it mean that the Creator, nature, initially develops us so that we would advance from the shallow basic pleasures to social pleasures?
Answer: Yet nevertheless, moving from small pleasures to bigger ones, a person goes through suffering.
Question: Is it suffering that becomes a push toward the revelation of the purpose of creation?
Answer: Yes. The feeling of lack, that I need to reveal more, to understand more, and to feel more drives us forward.
