Tikkun Olam: The Divine Purpose of Life

The popular16th century Kabbalists, Isaac Luria, used the phrase Tikkun Olam to encase the
genuine role of humanity in the spiritualization and evolution of the ongoing cosmos. According
to the Luria God formed vessels of light that held the Divine Light, to create the world. But the
vessels couldn't hold the divine light, and it shattered. Thus, for the same reason the world hold a
vast number of shards of the vessels ensnaring the Divine Light's sparks. It's the responsibility of
reuniting and freeing the scattered Light rests on the shoulders of humanity, by restoring the
broken world.
The similar concepts can also be found in other religions too. Christ exhorted the people to
prepare themselves to get through, charity and wakefulness. While the Bodhisattva, in Buddhism
vows to set free all the human beings from suffering. The Gnostics says that the spark of Divinity
lies ensnared within the human soul.
The Los Angeles Jews through Tikkun Olam help the individuals to develop spiritual practice by
unfolding history of the universe: the evolution and spiritualization of the whole of creation.
With every act of kindness and with each and every moment of practice and presence, with each
effort to cleanse, integrate and see the inner life. A new world could be build with heartfelt
prayer to the divine energies with higher will, serving to the Divinity of the concept.
Though it is through the structural movement that the process takes place, but the freedom placed
into the world by God in can be inferred that it is an experimental process and its outcome is
uncertain. This is because of, the personal inner choice and work of every individual differs from
the other.
If one is successful in raising himself/herself to the Divine station that helps to act and see
within, only then one can complete the momentous restoring work of a part to the Whole.
A simple concept introduced by the great Kabbalists, helped us to discover a vision of boundless
meaning- helping us to become a perfect human making the world a better place.
