Reality in Tidy Boxes - Daily Dose of Wisdom

Tell me you found G-d in a tidy package, I will tell you that is not G-d, that is Mind.

Tell me you found G-d in the limitless beyond-beyond space, beyond time-that too is not G-d. That too is Mind.

Where the boundless dwells within a bounded space, where darkness shines, where silence sings, where bitterness is sweet and a moment lives forever-there is G-d; there is the essence of all that is real.

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.

Poetry for deeper appreciation

Yeah I want to comment but I realize I have nothing to say that will not go back to Mind. In other words, yes I think this paradox essentially summarizes all the insights I have gathered about the nature of G-d.

But this once again, sounds a bit like Shiva.
It cannot be helped, the source of all is one -one Mind. It is only in the experience of G-d that the names dissolve and G-d is G-d.

God is not in tidy boxes

So it is for us to experience G-d, but not for us to understand H-m, just his principles/law
