GRACE ON THE SHALOSH SEUDOS, THE THIRD SHABBAT MEAL
HOW DID THE UNIVERSE BEGIN
-by Rav Michael Laitman
Everything started with the desire to bestow.
The desire to bestow is the basis of creation. In that desire, an opposite desire began to appear, the desire to receive, which is the beginning of creation.
The desire to receive exists in order to emphasize the desire to bestow.
Where is the desire to bestow? Why don’t we feel it?
We cannot discover the desire to bestow alone. If we develop a desire to bestow, then we can discover this desire, and its revelation is called “the revelation of the Creator” or “revelation of the upper force.” That is, the desire to bestow is the initial force that existed in the universe, and the desire to receive, which is our (the creation’s) substance, is secondary.
