 About Avraham Avinu and all his generations (that’s us):

Abraham's Oak in 1912 (wikipedia)

G–D appeared to him at the Oaks of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. He looked up and saw that there were three men standing a short distance from him. Seeing them, he ran toward them from the entrance of the tent, and bowed down to the ground. (Bereishis 18:1-2)

Avraham interrupted a mitzvah between him and G–D to take care of a mitzvah between him and who he thought was his fellow man. The rabbis learn from this that it is better to be like G–D than to talk with Him. 

After all, Creation itself was a tremendous act of chesed. G–D is perfect beyond human understanding. By definition, He lacks nothing, so there is nothing our existence can ever give to Him that He didn’t already have before, no matter how righteous we become. He made creation completely for us, completely for our benefit.

Which benefit? 

The benefit of being like G–D. 

Man was created b’tzelem Elokim to make it clear that we are here to be like G–D. Talking with G–D is an unparalleled pleasure, but being like G–D is unparalleled fulfillment, of a person and of Creation. When a person talks with G–D, G–D is still outside of them. When a person acts like G–D, they bring G–D into them, fulfilling the verse: 

Let them make Me a sanctuary, so I can dwell within them . . . (Shemos 24:1)
