Grasping Truth - Daily Dose of Wisdom

Blind faith cannot grasp Truth, because it does not grasp anything at all.

Intellect cannot grasp Truth, because Truth is larger than Intellect.

Only the eye of the soul, its inner wisdom, can grasp Truth and know it as she knows her own self.

For she is Truth.

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.

Silly Saying

re:Intellect cannot grasp Truth, because Truth is larger than Intellect.

Ever grab a car? Cars are larger than people. That's the trouble with analogies, the truth doesn't always come through.

My soul is truth???

That sounds a bit strange in my ears..
On the other hand, when I think, that G-d
breathed my neshama into me, that comes very near to it.
Faith must not be necessarily "blind" For me
my faith in G-d has much to do with trust.
And my intellect? Only in our religion am I allowed to use my intellect and ask questions..
I have the feeling, one has to have been for a time a Christian, in order to appreciate now how wonderful it is to be Jewish.
