"Open for me slightly your heart, and I'll open the world for you"
Book of Zohar
Who am I and for what purpose do I exist? How did we appear here and where are we going? Is it possible that we have already been in this world before? Can we know ourselves and the universe? Why does man suffer and is it possible to avoid suffering? How can one find peace, satisfaction, and luck? How can we attain tranquility, fulfillment, and happiness?
Many people in every generation attempt to find answers to these persistently haunting questions, and the very fact that this happens from generation to generation demonstrates that we still have not found satisfactory answers.
There are two ways of bringing man to the realization of the need for elevating spirit over matter and absolute satisfaction: (1) The way of Kabbalah (2) The way of suffering.
The first way is the study of Kabbalah while through such study man gradually becomes free of his egoism. The second way is standard: suddenly feeling a kind of spiritual hunger and seeking for a source of satisfaction. We can only advise choosing the way of Kabbalah in time rather than waiting for the way of suffering.
