Many think the goal of man is to find a utopian lifestyle, whether it’s meditating in Tibet, drugging oneself into oblivion, loving without discerning, or even working hard on earth to get to heaven, but Chassidus / Jewish mysticism teaches, the reverse is true; God is looking for a utopian lifestyle; as he is God, he cannot find it in himself, rather, when we simply are good, kind and compassionate, instead of insensitive, arrogant and cruel, as God is within us, this gives God (and us) utopia.
