Nothing can be understood in the middle of the process, but only at its end. And it is clear that there is no act without purpose, for only the insane can be found to act purposelessly. There are those who keep saying the Creator has created reality, then left it alone; that because of the worthlessness of the creatures, it is not fitting for the exalted Creator to watch over their petty little ways. Indeed, without knowledge they have spoken, for it is not possible to comment on our nothingness and lowliness, before we decide that we have created ourselves with all our tarnished natures.
We really do not feel the hand of the Creator in our lives. He is concealed from us. He created us and seemingly has left us to the mercy of fate. Our entire problem lies in the fact that we are not able to see the end result of the thought of creation until we correct our vessels. That is, until we replace our desire to receive with its opposite – the desire to bestow.
