19. Beginning to Speak from the Connection with the Creator
According to the rule that we begin to speak only by actions, the connection between the Creator and the creatures, which is called Ein Sof [infinity/no end], which is the desire to do good to His creations and not before, it follows that we should not ask about the reason that the Creator wants to do good, meaning what is the reason that caused it, since we begin from the desire to do good downward, and not preceding the desire.
If we ask, What is the point? meaning what is the reason that it emerged before the quality of doing good, then we are asking about prior to the connection, and there we do not attain. Even the quality of doing good that we attain is in the manner of “By Your actions we know You,” meaning that by receiving the benefit, we grasp the desire to do good.
