The Ultimate Delight

E-mail

What is G‑d’s ultimate delight?

That a human soul will build portals of light so that the Creator’s presence may shine into His creation.

That a breath from His essence will pull herself out from the mud and turn to Him in love.

That a child of His being, exiled to the shadows of a physical world, will discover that the darkness is nothing more than Father hiding, waiting for His child to discover Him there.

But none of these can reach to the essence of all delights, the origin of all things, the hidden pleasure beyond all pleasures: The delight that this breath, this soul, this child did it all on its own.

I am curious
I am curious if this understanding is available to a lot of people or something that most people will scratch their head on.

I ask this because I get it but wonder if I'm getting it the way it was intended.

Purpose
Even G-d needs a purpose. In this DD we see that the accomplishments of man give G-d the delight of hope, that they will draw closer to Him.
