A Freileicher Purim! I'm wondering if you could / would give me some direction regarding the following: I remember hearing that the way Ha Shem separated the letters in the Torah, when He looked into it as the blueprint for creating the universe resulted in the universe that we have - had He separated the letters differently, it would had resulted in an entirely different creation. I'm trying to find for the source for this, which I assume is a midrash. I'm also writing to find out if there is a Jewish source for the principle, means do not justify ends and if so, the source(s) for this.
