2Likutey Moharan 39 – Shabbos is the Purpose of Creation

2Likutey Moharan 39 – Shabbos is the Purpose of Creation. Speaker: Rabbi Nasan Maimon. (Recorded on 1985-10-13.)
00:00 – Introduction.
02:06 – Sefer HaMidos 2 – Daas 1. The diversity in nature can be found in the letters that make up the names of the various creations.
06:38 – In Midrash Rabbah our sages explain that the Hebrew names of creatures describe each one’s essence.
09:15 – PARAGRAPH 1. לכו הזו מפעלות ד – “Go and see the works of Hashem…” (Tehillim 46:9).
20:30 – The purpose of creation was the establishment of the Children of Israel who would keep Shabbos.
21:37 – Everything created has a beginning and an end.
29:28 – “What would we give to have a true, trustworthy leader of Am Yisrael?” – Rebbe Nachman.
36:24 – “Sulam mutzav artzah” – “A ladder with its feet on the ground that reaches toward heaven”. Action in the material world is what accomplishes the most in spiritual realms.
38:07 – Moshiach ben Dovid will not appear until all souls have been born into this world.
*41:36 – PARAGRAPH 2. Shabbos is the purpose of creation. Hashem created the first six days, but man’s refraining from work on Shabbos creates the subsequent six days. In this way, we are partners with Hashem in the creation of time. (Clipped)
47:02 – PARAGRAPH 3. Would it have been better if a person weren’t born? There’s so much suffering in this world.
