The Only Reality
The love of the Creator is the only reality.
Everything we experience as matter,
desires, fears, people, nature, history—
they are garments.
Beneath them all, there is one unity,
one root: an infinite divine love that gives life to everything in every moment.
The Ramchal writes: “Everything is drawn from the supernal love.”
The Tanya: “Truly, there is nothing but Him.” Even the material world is only an illumination of Him, concealed in a garment.
The Zohar: Love is the foundation that connects all the sefirot (divine emanations), and it is the purpose of creation.
Baal HaSulam: All of our desires are actually a longing to discover that one love.
When we say, “The love of the Creator is the only reality,”
this is not a poetic sentence.
This is what truly exists.
There is only the divine love.
All the rest are illusions of a consciousness that does not see straight.
What happens when you live this way?
Suffering, loss, and lack dissolve,
because beneath them, a love that manages even them is revealed.
Relationships with people are refined, because you see in them not their small will,
but the one light that gives them life.
Even within the most physical desire, a point of love can be found.
Reflect:
Look at something in your life that feels like “just matter” or a source of fear. Can you hold the possibility that it is a “garment” for divine love?
When you interact with someone today, can you try to see beyond their “small will” to the one light that gives them life?
What would change in your experience right now if you knew, not as a poetic idea but as a fact, that the only thing that truly exists is divine love?
