Question:
When a person has verbal or mental connection with Hashem, does it give a nachas ruach (satisfaction) to Hashem, and if yes, how?
Answer:
Everything Hashem created is all so that we can connect with Him. There are three parts to how we connect with Hashem in d’veykus: through action, word, and thought. In action, we connect with Hashem by not sinning and by doing the mitzvos. We connect to Hashem through word and thought by having verbal and mental connection with Hashem. This is the meaning of true d’veykus with Hashem. The purpose of Creation is to come to have true d’veykus, and this is how we give Him a nachas ruach. Life is not just about connecting to Hashem through actions, for a gentile can also connect to Hashem through proper actions. Life is not about action alone. We must connect to Hashem as well through our words and through our thoughts.
