The expectation of revelation

שו"תThe expectation of revelation
שאל לפני שנה 1

You have often argued that morality itself is unlikely to be a goal for the world, since God could have created the world in order and therefore it is likely that it was revealed with a book of laws. I wanted to ask a few things about that.

A. In the lesson I heard from you, you explained that the purpose of the universe is, among other things, to create something lacking that will complete itself. That is, God is complete and the only level higher than complete is something lacking that has been completed. (And this is the explanation for the saying "Repentant people stand where no perfect righteous people stand") Here we have found a logical reason for creating the world lacking in terms of morality. In general, the same reasoning can also be said to be why people were created lacking in terms of virtues. The work of virtues = the work of completing human deficiency.

on. You also explain that you do not understand their purpose regarding the commandments of the Torah, and all you know is that God commanded them and therefore they must be kept. Ostensibly, the same opinion can be said about the moral command that He enshrined within us (also according to your view). He enshrined it within us so that we would keep it even without understanding why or whether there is a purpose for it.

third. Why should you discuss why the world was created morally flawed, if there is no purpose in it? This is a question that holds itself. And it should probably be concluded that there is indeed a purpose in the moral flaw itself.

A. It is not morality that constitutes a goal, but rather the completion of God. It is true that the laws of morality themselves can do the job, but the benefit is not achieved through moral benefit but through the benefit of improvement. Therefore, the claim that there must be a benefit beyond morality remains. Now the question of whether this benefit is achieved through moral acts alone or whether more instructions are needed is an open question. Tradition comes along and decides it. This is also the answer to question b. Indeed. I didn't understand C. That was exactly my argument regarding completion and further education.
