This episode delves into the profound essence of our existence, inspired by the ancient wisdom of the Ethics of the Fathers: "I have only been created to serve my Master." This episode navigates the purpose of creation and our role within it, guided by the teachings of Kabbalah and the foundational insights of Rabbi Schneur Zalman in Tanya.
Listeners are invited to reflect on the divine desire for a "dwelling place in the lower worlds," exploring how this mission shapes our actions and intentions. Through the performance of the 613 Mitzvot, we bind every facet of our lives to the divine, transforming the mundane into a home for G‑d. This spiritual journey is not just about adhering to commandments but infusing them with love and awe, lighting up the physical world with the essence of spirituality.
Rabbi Bernath unpacks the concept of G‑d's "desire" — beyond logic, urging us to fulfill His will simply because it is His wish, thereby transcending the limitations of our understanding and ego. The podcast emphasizes the dual purpose of our soul's descent: to refine the world and ourselves for a higher divine revelation, and to achieve personal elevation through the struggle and longing for the divine.
The ultimate message is clear: our greatest mission and the most profound purpose of creation is to make this world a dwelling place for G‑d, transforming it with our deeds and intentions. Rabbi Bernath encourages us to navigate life's journey with this sacred task in mind, reminding us that in fulfilling this divine desire, we connect most intimately with the essence of G‑d, achieving the true purpose of our existence.
