Delight Condensed - Daily Dose of Wisdom

What is divine wisdom?
Divine wisdom is the inner delight of the Infinite, condensed and crystallized until fit for human consumption.

What is a mitzvah?
A mitzvah is divine wisdom condensed and crystallized until it can be performed as a physical action.

That is why in the study of Torah there is infinite delight.
That is why in the act of a mitzvah there is unlimited joy.

—Maamar Arbaah Rashei Shanim Heim, 5731

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.

crystal light

There is peaceful light in all Mitzvah and the development of this is in the Torah-I figure crystalized and condensed is a diamond....or as beautiful as a diamond which is.......Divine Wisdom......that it shines like ever before in the heart...and gives forth an energy that is deep within us and in package form...like condensed......so that we can understand it....regurgitate it and ...give forth....There's alot to say about this but I'll end with good things come in small packages...I am sure that G-d would agree......the best thing about this is that you described it as a small condensed package and I was always told that small packages are best to recieve-thank you
