A Personal Fall is for the Sake of Rising Higher

The Lubavitcher Rebbe discusses the inner reason behind personal failures. From the time of Adam, failure is associated with difficulty and pain that result from one’s own misguided choices.

But by Divine Providence, the inner purpose in G-d’s plan is that this will bring the person to reverse course. Then, he can rise to a higher level than he otherwise could have attained.

From the Rebbe’s talk on 2 Tevet, 5735 – December 16th, 1974.
