1- We want to come to resemble the Creator’s action, so we need to play a game, this game of imitation? Mimicking?
2- In other words, do we want to imitate or mimic the Creator’s actions toward our friends with the sole intention of bringing contentment to the Creator?
3- What is delight and what is pleasure?
I got an impression from a video I watched when Rav said the desires are only to realise the action. And I was asking myself, what is the action? During the Sunday meetings with friends, we read an article from Rabash, it says and I quote…”In other words, this is the purpose of the act, that the created beings will receive delight and pleasure.”
Is the action the ability to bring delight and pleasure to my friends?
1a – Is the intention and action the same?
1b For example, I heard that everything is taking us back to that state of oneness, and whatever we do must align ourselves according to that. So if I try to see that my friends are thinking to achieving bestowal and behind or within that thought of achieving bestowal is an intention to be one with the friends. It is just like there is no separation. Is this calculation correct?Â
2- Is it ok to see the effort the friends are investing to exist self-love? And to appreciate them? What am I appreciating? What is appreciation?
There Is None Else Besides Him
… For this reason, one must seek advice how he can bring contentment above. Clearly, if he receives pleasure, there will be contentment above …
Each time I read “There Is None Else Besides Him” this last sentence always got my attention…Â one must seek advice how he can bring contentment above. It seems like something mandatory. A must. It seems as if it removes a person from thinking about himself to thinking about the friends?
1- I am seeking advice. How can I bring contentment above?
2- Should I be thinking always on how to bring contentment to the friends? Or be in the thought on how to bring contentment to the Creator?
