Maybe your meditation doesn't leave its impression all day – but is it effective in the moment?

Are you being true to yourself?

A mitzvah is an incredible opportunity to surrender within our Source, both on a meta-level and as well as on a micro-level.

To think that we are so close to Hashem!

Have you ever been in awe?

The higher it is, the farther it reaches.

Love and fear are two wings.

A tiny being can initiate vast positive change. When a person learns and prays out of love and fear, the letters he utters are “alive” with spiritual infusion and they rise to the ten sefirot. There, their true identity as the completely unbounded light of Hashem is exposed. In this world below, the radiance of Torah and mitzvot cannot shine, but in the coming future when the world rises out of its materiality, all of that will change.

Now, something amazing happens when Torah and mitzvot –– which are the Divine will –– rise to become incorporated within the ten sefirot. The Divine will, which far transcends the sefirot, illuminates them and causes the middot to fuse, “sweetening” the attributes of severity with kindness, thus bringing an increased flow of Divine kindness into our world. And all of this is set into motion by our fulfilling the Torah and mitzvot out of the desire to attach to Hashem in love and out of feelings of awe for Him.

The secret of intention?  The  power to send things up from the material world into infinitely higher realities. Man’s animating, speaking soul is subject to the condition which affects the totality of this world –– kelipat nogah. When speaking worthless things, the vivifying soul constitutes a concealing veil, obscuring the Divine life energy within it. However, when the vivifying soul enunciates and powers words of Torah and prayer, it cannot conceal the Divine. In fact, it becomes transformed in the process, being that Torah and mitzvah completely disclose Hashem. However, if the intention to connect to Hashem is lacking, then although there is no concealment, there is a huge constriction which limits the holiness of these words to the realm of the physical. In contrast, when kavanah -– intention –– is infused into  words of holiness, it enlivens them and raises them up to their place, to the ten Sefirot of the higher worlds, allowing their true essence to shine.

Where do differences come from?
