Short Story: A Jewish Rabbi talks about God, and his creation

Tweet

The esteemed Rabbi, Bevnov Fredklin, was talking to some of his students about God, creation, and ourselves. Here is the text of his talk: "God's words are alive, and once spoken live in his creation forever, sustaining that which was created by his words." "There is no matter, or material thing, in existence. All is just God's words remaining alive, with that covering." "God is writing his story throughout his creation, speaking his creation into existence, by his words." "God's word of love brings all into existence, and so everything that exists contains a soul, or a part of his God-consciousness within it too, from a rock, to a tree, to you, and to me." "We are all part of God's painting." "We are not God, but a product of his work, kept alive by his word living within us, and his consciousness spark of our soul, acting as the connector between our human body, and God too." "Nothing can exist on its own, and so we cannot say that that tree over there is God, it, like us too, is merely a product of his artwork." 'We should not separate the artist from his work, as if we do this, we lose contact with the truth, the artist, and live in our own artificially created separate world then instead." "Any questions?" One student popped up his hand, and said: "Rabbi, just who is God?" The Rabbi, stroked his long beard thoughtfully, before he answered his student, like this: "God is not God to God. God is only God to you. To God, like you, God is just himself. God never asks himself where he came from because, unlike you, he has always known that he is God. You be you, and let God be God too."
