The Soul Grows Up


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

Ultimately, the soul discovers there is something
even more momentous than herself.
There is her purpose.

To accomplish, to heal, to make better
—these, she discovers, take precedent over her very being.

And in that moment of discovery, she graduates
from being G‑d's little child
to merge with G‑d Himself.

One With G-d
Yes, to be so in love with G-d, so yielded to Him and surrendered to His will that He can work through us. Our hands become His hands, our words His words. All that I am has merged in Him; we are One.

Re: G-d Himself
I added the word "merged". The soul is G-dly. When the soul surrenders to its mission, it merges with G-d.

It is similar to a ray of light merging with the sun.

G-d himself
You wrote saying that you changed the last line, to make your meaning more clear, but I don't see where it is changed. could you explain the meaning, are we G-d? or G-dly?
please clarify or send poem with new ending. Thank you.

Dear Simcha
Thank you for your comment. In the context of the book where this was originally written, it was more easily understood. I've made a minor edit that I hope will accommodate the standalone mode of the Daily Dose.

The Soul Grows Up
Dear Tzvi,

If you are transmitting a desirable note to me - kindly speak in terms I can understand. This esoteric verbiage is way beyond my comprehension. There must be less poetic language to make your point clear and concise for the general, unsophisticated, less learned public, including ME!!
