דער עולם הזה הגשמי איז א …צוזאמענקונפט פלאץ, וואו השי"ת כביכול קומט זיך צוזאמען מיט דעם אדם....
This physical world is a meeting place.
Here, G-d ‘gets together’ with humankind....
Hayom Yom 8 Sivan.
In this world, by fulfilling our Divine mission, we have the astonishing opportunity to “meet” with the Creator. We are given the chance to connect with the Divine. We can do so by aligning our behavior and character with the Divine way.
But the world is also a garden of distractions. And G-d gives us the free choice to choose our own path in life— to walk aimlessly through the garden of distractions, pursuing pleasure and prestige, or to utilize our stay in this world to “meet” and unite with the Infinite One.
-- The Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak of Lubavitch, sixth Chabad Rebbe
