What was created after He rested?
What was created after He rested? Tranquillity, repose, peace and quiet.
— from Takeoff Into Chaos · Maharal of Prague Pirkel Avos: A Commentary based on selections from Maharal's Derech Chai
In the book
The Name El speaks of God in His capacity as the One who keeps active control over the whole churning sky — the One who, seeing six hundred thousand faces in a crowd, can bless each as utterly distinct, because He discerns the separate heart inside every one. And here is the part that reframes everything: when the world was first made and then God rested, what came into being in that rest was not more frantic activity — it was tranquillity, repose, peace and quiet. Order was never the absence of the work; it was its fruit. — Takeoff Into Chaos
