Question: What is the meaning of this game that the Creator has initiated?

Answer: The meaning of the Creator’s game is to create a creation equal to Himself, which will attain the state of the Creator, His level, and complete similarity to Him, and in this will be totally fulfilled since He instilled these desires in us.

We are meant to become like Him: to achieve absolute, mutual fulfillment of one another. Thus, the entire program of creation is realized within the framework known to us.

We rely on what the Kabbalists say, that the Creator has a need to create, a positive need, a desire to bestow. In our world, this can be likened to a woman’s desire to have children, which is an inner longing to care for and give. Naturally, in our world, this is an egoistic desire, but in the Creator, it is altruistic.

It stems from the nature of the good that does good. That is why He created beings—to lead them to goodness. This is what we can comprehend. One can philosophize endlessly about it, but Kabbalah teaches that it must be attained. For one who attains, everything becomes clear. And the one who merely philosophizes is left with thoughts that his fishes out from under his hair—nothing more.

That is why Kabbalah is categorically against it. It is a highly practical science meant to lead a person to receive the magnificent fulfillment that awaits him in the attainment of the Creator, in becoming like Him.

Comment: You speak about this so sadly.

My Response: On the contrary, it is something enormous. I simply do not know how to express it, there are no words for it. I am not sad. Quite the opposite, wonderful feelings arise in me that overwhelm me because what has been given to a person is a great thing, such a goal, such an opportunity!
