The Point Is to Become Yourself


Listen Later

Today's episode is about the lifelong call to become the truest and deepest version of ourselves - the presence of light and life and love in the world. We mention a story told by Martin Buber from his book, "Tales of the Hasidim." Rabbi Zusya, before his death, said, ‘In the coming world, they will not ask me: ‘Why were you not Moses?’ They will ask me: ‘Why were you not Zusya?' 

The point is to become ourselves. As Soren Kierkegaard once wrote, "Now, with God's help, I shall become myself."
