Staying Above - Daily Dose of Wisdom

Never forget that your true place is a place of light. Even when you find yourself in the midst of darkness and sorrow, know that this is not your home.

Where is your home? Where does your true self live?

It lives absorbed within the very origin of light. From there, a glimmer of itself escapes and splashes below.

All it takes is that glimmer to transform the darkness, that it too should shine.

Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson

From the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory; words and condensation by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman. To order Rabbi Freeman’s book, Bringing Heaven Down to Earth, click here.

Light and Two Cultures

Rabbi Freeman I have made a file of Daily Doses and so far I think 'Staying Above' and 'The Mind and Beyond' top them all.
Thank you.

Daily Dose

The point could be to learn while in the dark and to remember Who is the Light and then reach out for others who are in the dark and don't even know it!

The Light Shining Into darkness

Thank you for reminding us that we are not alone. There are so many things that light reveals in us that need G-D's help!

Staying Above

absolutely, staying in the darkness is not going to take us no place. Willing to accept G-d's challenges and pray for a solution is the only way that the light will guides us what to do.

this is not your home?

Rabbi I enjoy reading your Daily Dose so, very much!

Regarding this segment, I am hoping you could explain the phrase: this is not our home.

Was it in regards to a Land of Israel, the place that G-d has chosen for us to live in this earth, or that our G-dly soul, that spark within our souls that will be returned to Him when we leave this earth?
