Mesillat Yesharim – The Path of the Just – Chapter 1- Lesson 7 – Man’s Obligation in the World

Fiat Car
Fiat Car

The Ramchal began this chapter by telling us just how important it is for a person to consider his purpose in this world. Think about it – without a purpose, where exactly are we all going and what are we doing?!

Why did God create us in any case?! Is it just to eat, drink and be merry? Perhaps there is another reason. God is good and it is the nature of good to want to do good. Therefore it must be that God wishes to give us the greatest good possible. But what exactly is that?!
