Make Your Own Sanctuary-FA-TI PROPRIUL SANCTUAR

Adar II 5, 5771 · March 11, 2011
By Tzvi Freeman



Ultimately, the purpose of all things is not a rational one, but simply G-d's desire to dwell in an ordinary world, the one in which you and I live. Out of His desire comes not only this world, but all worlds and all things within them.

In cele din urma telul suprem al lucrurilor nu este unul rational, ci simpla dorinta a lui Dumnezeu sa salasluiasca intr-o lume obisnuita, cea in care traim. Din aceasta dorinta se naste nu numai lumea aceasta ci toat lumile si lucrurile din ele.


Why does He so desire? The question is meaningless. Reason is a mere creation. G-d just is. There is nothing for Him to gain or risk losing, for G-d lacks nothing. He desires without cause, just to desire.

De ce doreste asta? Nu are importanta. Motivul este doar creatia. Dumnezeu pur si simplu este. Nu exista nimic pentru Sine de a cistiga, sau riscul de a pierde ceva, caci lui Dumnezeu nimic nu ii lipseste. El doreste fara cauza, doar pentru a dori.


And what does He desire? He desires to take a glimmer of Himself and inject it into a physical body, dressing it first within another soul, an earthly one, one very much a part of this ordinary world.

Si ce anume doreste? Sa ia o sclipire din El insusi si sa o injecteze intr-un corp fizic, imbracindu-l inainte cu un alt suflet, unul pamintesc, unul facind parte din aceasta lume obisnuita.


And He desires that this body and its earthly impulses will obscure and negate the G-dly light breathed into it. And that nevertheless, somehow, in the midst of all this struggle, that spark of G-d within will manage to make its mark, filtering away some of the ugliness and refining some of the preciousness of the body, of the animal driving it, and even of its share of this world.

Si doreste ca acest corp si acest impuls pamintesc sa se intunece si sa se ascunda si sa nege lumina divina pe care a suflat-o in el. Si ca in pofida acestui lucru, in mijlocul tuturor luptelor, acea scinteie divina dinauntru sa reuseasca sa lase o urma, sa filtreze uritenia si sa rafineze ceva din pretiozitatea corpului, a impulsurilor animalice ce il conduc si chiar a partii sale din lumea aceasta.


This is the sanctuary that each person makes in his life, a place where an animal is raised up in a G-dly fire. It is here that G-d is found in all Primal Essence, dwelling in an ordinary world.

Acesta este sanctuarul pe care fiecare persoana il creeaza in viata sa, un loc unde animalul este ridicat intr-un foc ceresc. Aici Dumnezeu este gasit in esenta Sa primordiala, salasluind intr-o lume ordinara.


And for this all things were made.

Si de aceea, toate lucrurile au fost creeate.
