GRACE ON THE FIRST SHABBAT MEAL
THE LAW OF BALANCE OF GOOD AND EVIL
-by Rav Michael Laitman
A person is obliged to be thankful and to bless the evil like the good because he understands that they both only come to raise him to a higher spiritual level. And there is no other reason for the existence of evil, but only to make it possible for the creature to exist. For if there were only good, we could not discern it, for good is the Creator. In order to feel Him, I must first be composed of an opposite nature, of the force that is opposite to Him, that is, evil.
And then, between my evil and His good, I assemble a point that is called the point of adhesion. And that is how we reach the balanced state. And balance is achieved precisely in the connection between us.
