Question: The Creator says: “Leave Me, but remember your Torah.” And you keep saying that we should turn to Him. How can we act in this contradiction?

Answer: This is not a contradiction. “Leave Me and study the Torah” means working on correction. If you turn to the Creator from correction, this is good. But if you start asking for things just to feel better, then you will only feel bad.

The Creator reacts to everything. First of all, this is the field in which we exist. God forbid that we imagine Him as some kind of a creature. This field is a limitless, an infinite volume, that we exist in. It reacts to everything regardless of whether you ask for something or desire something consciously or not.

First of all, everything that you feel is aroused in you by this field, and you yourself are allegedly not there. Our entire life, both corporeal and spiritual, is 99% about reacting to the impact that the Creator causes in us and nothing more.

The only thing left for us is to ask Him to include Himself in this work. That is why it is called the work of the Creator (Avodat HaShem). And then, we join it as much as we can.

All our work consists precisely in a person consciously joining in the work of the Creator. We do everything unconsciously anyway. Nothing is done except by Him. We only want to consciously participate in this.

That is why we are called the workers of the Creator, that is, we want to take part in His actions. And if not, then He will act anyway, and we will move anyway. Therefore, we need to develop such feelings in us that we can feel the actions of the Creator.
