HOW TO GET JOY

-by Rabbi Michael Laitman

Therefore, he should know that the Creator is giving him a chance to begin to engage in Torah and work, and this will bring him the real joy called โ€œthe joy of Mitzva [commandment]โ€ (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 507, โ€œWhat Is Joy?โ€).

If I want to get closer to the Creator and be special in His eyes, a whole new way of relating to people, myself, and what is around me opens before me.

This is how I can choose what to engage in to show a special attitude toward the Creator.

Then I get joy from perceiving the whole world as coming from the Creator and out of this choose only those actions that would bring me closer to the Creator.

Question: Is this called a Mitzvah (commandment)?

Answer: Of course. Any action of mine that the Creator desires is called a commandment.
