The Birth of a
Blissful Humanity
Baal HaSulam
Our development
in Creation
Is nothing
other than our mimicry of it,
As the very
feel and beauty
Of the colors
we design and innovate
Are nothing
other than copies of the appealing colors
That we find in
flowers.
Take a
carpenter, for instance,
How would he
know how to make a four-legged table
If he hadn’t
copied the work of the Creator,
Who created
four-legged creatures?
How would he
know how to join two pieces of wood,
If not by
imitating the way our limbs are joined,
And putting the
pieces of wood together accordingly?
That’s what
people do.
They look and
learn as best they can
In order to
understand reality,
Which is set
before them
In its perfect
beauty.
When all of
that is understood,
People make
replicas.
That sample
then becomes the basis for another sample
Until man has
created a lovely world
Full of
inventions.
Based on the
observation of the work of Creation,
Planes have
been built resembling a flying bird.
Radios have
been made to perceive sound waves,
Just like ears.
In short,
Everything
we’ve succeeded in doing
Has been set
before us in Creation.
In our reality,
exactly as it is,
Nothing is
missing,
Except to learn
from it
And create
accordingly.
