REGARDING THE CREATOR AND THE FRIENDS
He who thinks that he is deceiving his friend,
is really deceiving the Creator, since besides
man’s body there is only the Creator. This is
because it is the essence of creation that man is
called “creature” only with respect to himself.
The Creator wants man to feel that he is a separated
reality from Him; but except for that, it
is all “the whole earth is full of His glory.”
Hence, when lying to one’s friend, one
is lying to the Creator; and when saddening
one’s friend, one is saddening the Creator.
For this reason, if one is accustomed to
speak the truth, it will help him with respect
to the Creator.
