In Everything a Teaching - Daily Dose of Wisdom

The Baal Shem Tov taught that from every thing you hear or see in this world you must find a teaching in how to serve G‑d.

In truth, this itself is the whole meaning of service of G‑d.

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

In Everything a Teaching

But what does "service" mean ... perhaps seeing G-d's presence is the thing that is of "service". So "every thing you hear or see in this word" IS G-D. Perhaps when we see His presence there, we have served him.

In everything a Teaching

Yes, well ,If I may say, sometimes I find that one sees and hears things that are unjust or might hear from another someones story that is of a unjust nature and when I hear something unjust or see something unjust I try wait for G-D to help me help that person through compassion and patience-it doesn't always work out that I have the greatest amount of patience and compassion but I am out there with this aim in mind, Thank you for writing this.
