Essentially the
return/shuv is on account of bitul/nullification.
It is not for his own
sake at all. He just senses the ratzon ha elyon – the higher will.
The essence of a
lower level is a higher level. He thirst for Godliness since he
wants to have it in a true way...!
Something may start
out as being based on his 'personal desire', but eventually the truth
of it surfaces.
There is joy and
pleasure in the service. Where does it come from if it is His will?
That is because, the fact that there is satisfaction above (nachat
ruach) there is satisfaction for him too.
It is imperative for
a person to know that his life has a purpose, beyond just surviving.
One realizes his soul comes from Godliness with an intent. This is
the real thing that gives him a purpose. And this becomes the source
of his inspiration. There is great pleasure that underlies this
vitality.
We understand the
difference between good and better. But 'truth' has no contrast. In
the world we constantly compare and look for 'better'. But that is
not the soul interest. The soul is pure truth in itself. Not 'more
truth' than something else. There is no contrast.
When a servant builds
a palace, he takes pleasure in it even though his name will never be
mentioned. The servant takes pride in his work and is beautifying
something. How does he come to appreciate 'glory'? He relates to
his master, his glory, and this translates in his own experience.
