Being Truth - Daily Dose of Wisdom

What is your job in this world? It is to become truth.

How do you become truth? By not lying to yourself.

It is not that you must do whatever you do with sincerity.
Sincerity itself is the work you must do.
It is what you must become.

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

Being Truth

How do you become truth? Well, the truth of who G-d is, and who we are in G-d, this sets us free to be what G-d wants us to be. Who is G-d, the love of our life, for without Him, we would not be. Who are we in G-d, the love of His life. For without us, who would love him? And what does He want us to be. Like Him. To love our brothers and sisters as much as He loves each one of us. Thank you Father for your love. Shalom to everyone.

Truth and Love

Yes, to be truth. Can I also say my job in this world is to be love? Are truth and love opposite sides of the same coin? Certainly they are so intricately connected as to be inseparable.

What is your job in this world?

I would say: stop becoming (when you become, means your mind is never free of the load, never pays attention to the reality) just be and see what you are. If you really do not like what you are, you will stop be as you are, without any effort."

Becoming truth is not easily accomplished.

To be truthful to oneself is many times the mosot difficult thing to accomplish. One needs NOT to rush through the process, but to slowly but surely attain this state of being.
