THE GOAL OF ETHICS VS THE RELIGIOUS GOAL

The goal of ethics is the well-being of society
from the perspective of practical reason, derived
from life’s experiences. But in the end,
that goal does not promise its follower any
elevation above the boundaries of nature.
Hence, this goal is still subject to criticism,
for who can prove to an individual the extent
of his benefit in such a conclusive manner
that he will be compelled to even slightly
diminish his own self in favor of the wellbeing
of society?
The religious goal, however, promises
the well-being of the individual who follows
it, as we have already shown that when one
comes to love others, he is in direct Dvekut,
which is equivalence of form with the Maker,
and along with it man passes from his narrow
world, filled with pain and impediments, to
an eternal and broad world of bestowal upon
the Lord and upon the people.

– Baal HaSulam, “The Essence of Religion and Its Purpose”, Gem of Wisdom, published by Bnei Baruch.
