What is man’s purpose in life?
The Creator created souls and dressed them in bodies. Within each of us there is a soul, which belongs to the upper world and aspires to return to the place from which it came. It must return to its root in the span of one life cycle, so that man can live simultaneously in both worlds, the one we know, and the one we all came from. Only in this state can one fulfill one’s desire for happiness, tranquility, confidence and a complete understanding of the world around us.
Each of us lives many lives, during which the soul experiences the desire to rise above the difficulties and return to its root. But along with that it senses the objection of the body and the environmental conditions to its process of development. That objection is meant to develop in the soul the ability to correct itself and rise to its root by overcoming the obstacles.
