THE CONCEALMENT OF THE FACE OF THE CREATOR

That deficiency was born only out of the concealment
of the face of the Creator, who did
not wish to shine His face upon His creatures
from the start, so they would be complete from
the start. On the contrary, He hid His face
from them and left them lacking, since here is
the Light of the King’s face is certainly life, and
its concealment is the source of every evil.
However, the purpose of this concealment
is not to be concealed. On the contrary,
it is to be revealed later and to transform any
evil born only out of that concealment. Thus,
He established law and order to reveal the
face of His concealed benevolence through
people’s actions. These are the laws and the
doctrines which He gave to us. His law is the
law of truth, which if a man does, he shall
live by them, in the eternal life, for the reward
of a Mitzva [commandment/good deed] is a
Mitzva. This is the illumination of His face,
which He concealed from man in the beginning
of His Creation.
Thus, for toil he was created, since the
inclination governs him and his evil is great
in all kinds of faults, along with his remoteness
from the Light of life. And the practice
of Mitzvot shine the hidden Light upon him
until, when he completes his Mitzvot, he himself
is complemented with them into Light,
in the Light of this life.
