Why We Needed the Torah
We must constantly work on one fundamental principle, the principle of Arvut (mutual guarantee). Our forefathers also worked on it, but for their level of Aviut (coarseness), a special method, the Torah, was not required.
Their method was simple. They understood that it was so, and by the purity of their soul, they felt the upper just as a Bedouin living in nature feels it entirely, and senses things thousands of kilometers away. It was simply a natural connection with creation. But when egoism grows, a method and tools become necessary.
What is this method? What is the Torah really about? It teaches how to reach the same connection our forefathers had but on a different level of desire to receive. As that desire grows, more actions are needed, as well as individual effort and collective work of the entire group.
The forefathers did not need to work on Arvut among themselves. For them, it came naturally, like a mother’s love for her child. This necessity was evident through the revelation of the Creator; there was no other way to exist.
But once the desire to receive is revealed, everything changes. Aviut increases, and everyone grows distant from one another. To overcome this separation, various methods, tools, efforts, and learning are required.
