The Place of His Glory

The Torah corrects us all the time, depending only on to what extent and with what we participate. This means that there is such a movement here in which I apparently don’t participate but react. My body necessarily reacts to what is happening, to what the Torah brings me, and this is called the way of “in its time.” More or less, this is the way in which all of humanity is found. There are also people who have the opportunity to advance consciously, with understanding and awareness, with sensitivity. According to the awakening that they get, they are called “Israel,” “Yashar-El” (Straight to God). So they can assist in their own development and advance more rapidly. But their advancement is that they are concerned about the world. They take upon themselves the task of the Creator, bringing all of creation to adherence with Him. And so these people who receive an awakening must examine the awakening they received, what it is for. This is not for their own benefit; rather they must be representatives of the Creator and convey, on whatever plane they exist, His Torah, His task, to be the conduit to all of humanity and to bring them closer to the Creator. So they have a big job of scrutiny and correction, specifically for this purpose. So they don’t want to correct themselves and advance towards being for the Creator and adherent to him, no. Rather, they must first of all be concerned about everyone. So they begin to understand that the Creator is not found alone. There is nothing like this; rather, the Creator is found within corrected humanity. They must reach this. So it takes a long time until a person scrutinizes where the place of the glory of the Creator is. And after that, he already begins to act correctly. He understands also that nullification for the sake of bestowal and adherence with the power of bestowal can only exist through the creatures, “from love of the creatures to love of the Creator.” Then he arranges all of his actions according to this.
