[עַל־פִּי תּוֹרָה קל"ג - וְאֹרַח צַדִּיקִים כְּאוֹר נֹגַהּ]
מִבֶּטֶן שְׁאוֹל שִׁוַּעְתִּי שָׁמַעְתָּ קוֹלִי. קוֹלִי שָׁמָעְתָּ אַל תַּעְלֵם אָזְנְךָ לְרַוְחָתִי לְשַׁוְעָתִי. צָפוּ מַיִם עַל רֹאשִׁי אָמַרְתִּי נִגְזָרְתִּי. קָרָאתִי שִׁמְךָ יְהֹוָה מִבּוֹר תַּחְתִּיּוֹת.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
*The Mystery of Free Will / We Look Only to God*
It is impossible to understand how God treats the entire world — particularly creatures with free will, for whom everything was created from beginning to end.
All the angels, celestial palaces and levels of holiness — and, in the realm of evil, everything in the “husk” and the Other Side — everything was made for human beings, who have free will.
God has given human beings free will. Nevertheless, free will is also in His hand, because everything comes from Him and He gives life to everything.
A person must avert and close his physical and mental eyes from looking at the meaningless things of this world.
In particular, he should not have any evil thoughts.
He should turn his eyes only to look at the light of the Torah and the true Tzaddikim who shine with a great, awesome and elevated light, until his desire for this-worldly matters is nullified.
This entire world, with all of its desires and vanities, is nothing compared to a single point of the holy Torah and the holy Tzaddikim who illuminate all worlds with a wondrous and awesome light.
But although this world is so small compared to just one point of the light of the Torah and the Tzaddikim, it stands before people’s eyes and keeps them from seeing that great and precious light.
**God Made Everything for Human Beings**
“From the belly of Sheol I cried out. You heard my voice.” “You heard my voice; do not turn Your ear away from my sigh, from my outcry.” “The waters covered my head. I said, ‘I am cut away.’” “HaShem, I called Your Name from the depths of the pit.”

רִבּוֹנוֹ שֶׁל עוֹלָם, מָלֵא רַחֲמִים עַל כָּל הַבְּרוּאִים שֶׁבָּעוֹלָם, וַאֲפִלּוּ עָלַי אַף־עַל־פִּי שֶׁעָשִׂיתִי מַה שֶּׁעָשִׂיתִי, וְאַף גַּם עַתָּה אֲנִי כְּמוֹ שֶׁאֲנִי, הָרַחֲמָן יַצִּילֵנִי מֵעַתָּה, אַף־עַל־פִּי־כֵן אֲנִי רוֹאֶה וּמַאֲמִין כִּי רַחֲמֶיךָ אֵינָם כָּלִים מִמֶּנִּי לְעוֹלָם,

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
Master of the world, You are filled with compassion for all creatures, even for me. No matter what I have done and no matter what I am like, rescue me from this moment on. I see and have faith that Your compassion will never leave me.

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
It is impossible to understand how You treat the entire world — particularly creatures with free will, for whom everything was created from beginning to end, from the start of *Atzilut* to the lowest point of this physical world of *Asiyah*.¹ (Nearness), *Yetzirah* (Creation), *Beriah* (Formation) and *Asiyah* (Action). Our physical world is part of *Asiyah*.
All worlds, thousands and millions of them, are included in human beings. All the angels, *seraphim*, *ophanim* and holy *chayot*, all the celestial palaces and levels of holiness — and, on the side of evil, everything in the “husk” and the Other Side — everything was made for we human beings who have free will.

footnotes:
¹ According to the Kabbalah, there are Four Worlds or levels of existence. These are: Atzilut

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
As our sages said, “A person’s evil inclination rises up against him every day, and if not for the fact that the Holy One, blessed be He, helps him, he would fall into its power. As the verse states, ‘Although the wicked person gazes at the righteous man and seeks to kill him, HaShem will not abandon him and will not permit him to be condemned when he is judged.’”

**The Fiftieth Gate. Breslov Research Institute, Jerusalem, c1992-c2016:**
And our sages said, “If not for three verses [that express the power of the evil inclination], the Jewish people could not stand [and defend themselves]. One of them is, ‘As for the evil that I brought about … ’”

And your people will be entirely righteous forever; they will inherit the land, a scion that I planted, the work of My hands in which I will take pride.”
