What Is the Creator Like?
Question: What does it mean to draw closer to the Creator?
Answer: Drawing closer to the Creator means becoming included in an endless chain of caring for one another. We must feel that caring for one another is eternal.
Question: Is it eternal, or does it lead to eternity?
Answer: It leads to the sensation of eternity.
Question: So, when we are told, “You can live forever and feel eternity,” we become skeptical and say, “Well, that is fantasy.” Is that because we spend our lives caring only about ourselves?
Answer: Yes.
Question: And if we were able to direct ourselves toward someone else, then it would no longer seem like science fiction to us?
Answer: We will begin to sense that eternity. It is as though you transfer yourself into others, and in that you will feel infinity.
Question: Is the purpose of life contained in this? Is this precisely what it is?
Answer: Yes. Then, through your feelings, you draw closer to the Creator, time disappears, and leaves only sensation.
Question: But what is the Creator like? When I say, “Draw closer to the Creator,” what is it that I actually want?
Answer: To care absolutely for others. For another.
Question: Just like that, without thinking about myself?
Answer: If I am able to forget about myself and think about another, then I enter eternity.
Question: There is not even a tiny thought, a hidden calculation: “What will I get in return?” That doesn’t exist?
Answer: But that is precisely what you will receive. You will begin to feel eternity itself within your attitude toward another.
Question: So, to sum it all up, the main goal is to draw closer to the Creator, and everything around us is given precisely so that we can draw closer to the Creator?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Even wars, suffering, tragedies, and illnesses?
Answer: Without them, we would not be able to feel any of this. They too are necessary. The evil inclination was created specifically so that we would feel ourselves rising above it.
Question: Our task is to rise above all of it?
Answer: Yes.
Comment: I see. Thank you. You have shed light on that as well. For people, these things mean such pain, such suffering, and yet you say, “This too serves that purpose.”
My Response: It is necessary.
Question: And is there no way without it? Is it impossible to pass through life smoothly and effortlessly?
Answer: No. A person is incapable of it. One must pass through malice, through the evil inclination; otherwise, one will not feel the good.
