Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan

  “Man thus truly resembles God when, after transcending his own selfhood and recognizing that his very essence is somehow one with God, he realizes that existence itself is an awesome gift of love and kindness that he must share with others. For just as God is immanent in His creation and constantly bringing the world towards its ultimate perfection, man’s true purpose is to do the same. When he connects his will to God’s will, his potential for transforming the world into a heavenly Malkhut-YJmgdom is unlimited.”
