In the last Nugget we talked about “drawing near” to the Creator. We learned that by taking on the qualities of the Creator and fall in-line with the Creator’s purpose we would draw closer. The idea is to continually take on more of the Creator’s qualities until we reach a point called “equivalence of form”. At this point we will be the same as the Creator in purpose and quality.
We are opposites in nature to the Creator. Our qualities are
inherently opposed to the Creator. We are receivers while the Creator is a
giver. We are individualistic while the Creator is altruistic. Our task is to transition
from that opposite nature to “equivalence of form”. This takes generations and
is a step-by-step process. The TNK actually has two names in relations to this.
When a person is in “equivalence of form” that person is called “son of G-d” while the opposite nature is called “son of
man”.
Ask yourself: So what role does Torah play and how should it
be implemented into our lives to facilitate “equivalence of form”? How can the
Torah change our nature or can it?
