Mesillat Yesharim – The Path of the Just – Chapter 1 – Lesson 11 – Man’s Obligation in the World

Hands Earth Sky

The Ramchal continues his introduction by telling us that this world is just a corridor before we enter into the World to Come. Here is the place where we improve and over there is where we receive our reward for the effort we put into serving God and working on ourselves in this world.

Hands Earth Sky

Everything is created in this world for our benefit and for our enjoyment, but we must use it towards the goal of creation. Everything is here to be uplifted in holiness.

Anyone who takes an honest look at life in this world will realise that this cannot be everything our souls are put into this world for… There simply must be more.

Let us listen to the words of the Ramchal. You’ll need to listen to the lesson to hear more!
