The Purpose of Our Existence

627.2After the restriction and the screen that were made on the will to receive, it became unfit to be a vessel of reception and departed from the system of Kedusha [holiness]. In its stead, the Reflected Light serves as a vessel of reception, and the vessel of the will to receive was given to the system of Tuma’a [impurity] (Baal HaSulam, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, Part 1, “Inner Observation,” Chapter 3, Item 15).

This is about pleasure and suffering. Pleasures are attracted by the will to receive, and suffering is repelled by it. This is natural.
Since the Creator’s desire is to give pleasure to His creations, we must come to a state where we accept this upper pleasure and are fulfilled with it, but not for our own sake, not for our own pleasure, but for the sake of the Creator, in order to bring Him contentment.

This, in principle, is the purpose of our existence: to be fulfilled for the sake of the Creator.
