by Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan
God's motivation for creating the world sheds light on our own life goals.
What ultimate good does God offer His creations? Our ability to connect to Him.
The gift of a Divine soul separates man from the rest of God's creatures.
One of the highest human pleasures is that of accomplishment -- completing a job well done.
The existence of good and evil allows man to make the right choice, and merit greater closeness to God.
Doing good unto others is a key component of spiritual health.
God may make it difficult for us to approach Him in order to increase our eventual reward.
The greatest satisfaction is accomplishing in a world where God is hidden.
