A Single Goal Above Basic Necessities
Directing Everything Toward the Creator
Beyond fulfilling our basic necessities, our ultimate goal is to direct everything toward the Creator until we begin to sense Him behind every event and circumstance in our lives. The happiest and most complete state of existence is feeling that the Creator governs us in every moment — regardless of how we perceive His control. Whether we experience joy or hardship, clarity or confusion, we find true contentment in knowing that we are always under His guidance.
Our purpose in life is to remain in a constant connection with and awareness of the Creator. We must cultivate a single heart, unified in its intention, wanting nothing else but to feel the Creator by becoming similar to Him. This similarity is not achieved through passive belief or philosophical contemplation but through a fundamental transformation of our nature — one that shifts us from self-concern to absolute bestowal and love.
The Creator’s Nature and Our Reciprocity
The Creator Himself is pure bestowal, a force of absolute giving. Yet, in order to grant us the opportunity for reciprocity, He presents Himself as if He were in need of our bestowal toward Him. However, the Creator’s “deficiency” is not one of lack, but rather the ultimate, primordial need to love, fulfill, and serve.
This is the very reason He created us: so that He could love and completely fulfill us. His desire is to bestow upon us infinite goodness, but not in a way that diminishes us or makes us feel inferior. Instead, He has given us the ability to achieve a true and equal relationship with Him. This equality is not one of power or control but of similarity — of aligning our nature with His.
Building a Connection Through Similitude
We cannot bestow to the Creator directly. However, we can learn and practice how to exist outside of ourselves and live for the sake of others. By doing this, we create a similitude to the Creator among us, shaping a space where His presence can dwell. This is the meaning of the Hebrew term BoReh — “Come and See” — referring to the revelation of the Creator’s qualities within our collective unity.
We achieve this through self-concessions and self-subjugation toward one another, gradually building an “empty space” between us where the Creator’s qualities of selfless and unconditional love and bestowal can appear. The Creator does not manifest as a separate entity outside of us but rather emerges from the “God-like” connections we establish with each other.
Each of us perceives the presence of the Creator to the extent that we invest in these mutually loving and bestowing relationships — always striving to rise above our inherent, self-centered nature.
The Insufficiency of Mere Human Connection
Simple friendship, or even deep, unwavering loyalty between individuals — such as that of an elite military unit — will not yield spiritual revelation if it is not aimed at revealing and fulfilling the Creator. The ultimate goal is not just unity for its own sake, but unity as a means to close the cycle of creation — bringing to life a being capable of receiving everything from the Creator without any sense of shame or inferiority.
This unique creation — the perfected human — achieves true equality with the Creator by fully integrating His qualities. The final stage of creation is not merely to exist or to believe but to become — to actively resemble the Creator in thought, intention, and action.
Receiving Everything by Wanting Nothing
The paradox of spiritual attainment is that the purpose of knowing is not to know, and the purpose of receiving is not to take. We receive everything only when we no longer seek anything for ourselves. The moment we reach a state where our sole intention is to love and serve unconditionally, we begin to reveal and receive everything — without limitation.
We already exist within the Creator. Every thought, every emotion, every experience comes from Him. The key question is: How much do we contribute to this connection? Do we add our own longing, our own deficiency, and strive for conscious, reciprocal communication with Him? Or do we remain passive, merely being pulled along by His will?
Becoming the Creator’s Partner
To truly fulfill our purpose, we must seek to understand the Creator and His plan for us so that we can become consenting partners in creation. Instead of being pushed forward by circumstances, forced to comply against our will, we must voluntarily align ourselves with His vision.
This requires deep internal work. We cannot impose our own will, aspirations, or calculations onto the Creator. Instead, we must first recognize our lowness and nothingness compared to Him — not as a form of self-degradation, but as an acknowledgment of the infinite wisdom and love guiding reality. This recognition must be accompanied by a profound sense of awe — an emotional connection that draws us closer to Him in complete reverence.
Only from this state of humility can we then begin the true work: adjusting and fine-tuning our expectations, desires, and intentions until they fully match the Creator’s plan for us. When we no longer seek to bend reality to our own will but instead harmonize ourselves with the Creator’s will, we enter into true partnership with Him.
At this point, the cycle of creation reaches its completion. We become one with the Creator — not as passive recipients, but as active participants in the eternal flow of bestowal and love.
