282. Multiple Reflections - Daily Dose of Wisdom

Go out on a clear night and see the moon reflected in the water of a lake. Then see the very same moon reflected in a pond, in a teacup, in a single drop of water.

So the same essential Torah is reflected within each person who studies it, from a small child to a great sage.

Multiple Reflections

For the Living Waters of Torah satisfies our thirst for our Living Father who resides in the souls of all His children. That Living Water sustains us, giving us hope, and strength in this material world.
He fills our heart with that overwhelming love which we need to share with our brothers and sisters or otherwise, it would be impossible to exist.

when is something considered torah ?

I really like this dose. A relevant question to the dose that I would ask is: what is torah?

similarity

I am not a Jew, yet I have and still do enjoy rading the Daily Dose. I find a lot of the daily messages have a similar aspect in other religions.
This one, I felt, this one was very Zen in its statement-as soon as I read it.

stars

I was in the middle of the desert at night, with almost no man made lights for miles around. Normally the manmade lights obstruct the view of the stars, but with almost no man made lights for miles around I was able to see hundreds, maybe thousands, of stars I had never been able to see with my own eyes before. Those stars are like G-d. He is always there. We just can’t see him because there are too many artificial lights in the way. But take those artificial lights away & I will see the real G-d. G-d is always there whether or not I am able to see him, just like those stars are always there, whether or not I can see them. The stars do not go away. The stars are always there, even during the day. Even during the day, the stars are always there. The stars are always there, even when I cannot see them, just like G-d is always there, whether or not I can see him.
