We come to the meaning of life only when we reach a state where we understand that we cannot live without it.
However, we do not bring ourselves to this extreme point on our own. It is the soul that does this. The soul seeks to free itself from the bonds of this life, to break out of the narrow framework of corporeal existence. These are special souls, and we do not know in advance when this awakening will happen to us. Yet gradually, more and more souls are approaching such a state.
This inner pressure, this unbearable need for meaning, is what we call “a cry” or “a prayer.” It is a gift from above. Everything in this process is a gift from the very upper force of love, bestowal, and connection that we call “the Creator” in the wisdom of Kabbalah. Even our efforts, yearning, and search to reach a higher state above our current life are given to us from above. This does not happen accidentally, and it does not happen to just anyone. It comes solely from the Creator and to those whom He appoints for it.
When the truth becomes revealed, it is not the end of the path but its beginning. After that revelation, we again feel constriction and that we cannot breathe, and again something becomes revealed. However, each time it is on a different level. The truth itself is the attainment of the Creator, the attainment of the universe through the Creator, the realization of the perfection of His actions. This is what we need to eventually attain.
Everyone will reach that attainment, one way or another, sooner or later. But not everyone needs to pass through the same intensity of inner pressure. There are souls that must go through the state of feeling that they cannot live without such an attainment in a very sharp, poignant, and personal way. After such people come many others who pass through it more gently, following in their footsteps, as the path becomes paved for the masses.
