What Is Spiritual Satisfaction?

Spiritual satisfaction is the satisfaction, fulfillment or pleasure of connection with the whole universe.

We are made in such a way that we feel the perfection of nature’s wholeness in this state, and it is the loftiest fulfillment we can possibly feel.

It is absolutely incomparable to our earthly pleasures. Nothing else can replace it. Why? It is a fulfillment of eternity, perfection and harmony that specifically fills our biggest, highest and strongest possible desire. There resides in this sensation the interconnectedness, mutual complementarity and resonance of all contrasting elements.

This infinite harmonious symphony fills us so completely that we almost have just enough capacity to think a little bit to understand how vast and perfect it is.

However, we should not think that living in such a world means being in a constant state of nirvana. It is a world that we must constantly sustain within us. It requires continual analysis and elevation above our egoistic desires for self-benefit. It is thus a complex world to live in, but it indeed contains a pleasure beyond any corporeal pleasure we now know — one of connection with perfection.

As a result of attaining spiritual satisfaction, we do not simply sit back and bask in an ocean of infinite pleasure. It is a sensation that begets a feeling of responsibility, the need to diligently study the wisdom of Kabbalah and do everything possible to ensure that everyone achieves such a sublime state. We then face a dilemma that we cannot truly enjoy this state by ourselves if others are not enjoying it. We must then approach others in order to somehow give them a taste — even if only at least a small spoonful — of such an immense world of pleasure.
