Your Specific Purpose


Ever since G-d told our father
Avraham, `Go from your
     land' and it is then
written `Avram kept travelling
southward,' we have the beginning of
     the mystery of Birurim, the refinement
of each element of the world through
  our service to G-d.


By decree of Divine Providence Man goes about 

his travels to the place where the elements
    that he must purify await 

their redemption.  These elements are
actually divine particles that have
        fallen from a lofty source, into the
physical.  Before the object is
        refined, it has no Divine context,
therefore the G-dliness that is in it
is considered to be in exile.  Through
utilizing them in one way or another
       for a G-dly purpose, these Divine
Particles are redeemed.

Tzadikim, who
have vision, see
      where their Birurim, await them and go
there deliberately.  As for
ordinary folk, the Cause of All Causes
       and the Prime Mover brings about
various reasons and circumstances that
bring these people to that place where
lies their obligation to perform the
      Avoda of Birurim.



         So! There is
       not merely a general purpose
          of refining the world, rather, each
             individual has his or her specific

     PART 

                to elevate!  

       This is based on their
           unique characteristic and
                       circumstance.
