SATURDAY PRAYER: BINAH – GRACE FOR THE FIRST SHABBAT MEAL
READING: SUNSET FRIDAY
RECEIVING EVERYTHING HE WANTS TO GIVE
-by Rav Michael Laitman
If my receiving is only for Him, it is like bestowal. As it says, if the bride gives a present to the groom, it’s important, it is as if she receives from him.
It turns out that equivalence of form is a very complicated concept. I have to want to receive from the Creator everything that He wants to give me in my desire, and He wants to give me the world of Infinity, the Infinite Light. But according to my intention, it should be the opposite, I have to want to give just as much as He does.
Our actions are different: I receive and He gives, but according to our intention, it is the opposite, I am actually the one who gives and He enjoys. Thus I save the situation since otherwise I cannot delight Him. There is no chance of delighting Him, only this way.
Only under the condition that I accept all that He has, like a cow bursting with milk wanting to please Him, can He enjoy.
