215. Hypocrisy

Print
E-mail

Do not be dismayed by the hypocrisy of others, nor by your own inconsistencies. Our lives are all journeys through hills and valleys—no man’s spiritual standing is a static affair.

But the good each person achieves is eternal, as he connects to the Source of All Good, Who is infinite and everlasting. The failures, on the other hand, are transient and superficial, fleeting shadows of clouds, as stains in a garment to be washed away.

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.

Thank you for this
This message reaches me right where I am now.

"But the good each person achieves is eternal, as he connects to the Source of All Good, Who is infinite and everlasting. The failures, on the other hand, are transient and superficial, fleeting shadows of clouds, as stains in a garment to be washed away."

Oh, how I'm praying that this is true!

Toda Rabbah!!!
Dear Honourable Rabbi:

Thank you so very much for this wonderful text. Being acutely aware of personal deficiencies is at times, very stressful. Hyprocrisy, however, thank G-d, is not one of them, though, the myriad of other limitations seems Endless.

Hypocrisy: A 'cheit' sin for the most part.
Though hypocrisy can be practiced deliberately, it's fair to say that in most circumstances, for most of us, it is just a matter of 'missing the mark', and is largely unintentional.

You are right again, Rabbi Freeman.
