The Process - Daily Dose of Wisdom

Torah is not about getting to the truth. When you are immersed in Torah, even while pondering the question, even while struggling to make sense of it all, you are at truth already.

Torah is about being truth.

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

For zvi in Sydney

Think of this: If Torah would be about "getting to the truth," then, as long as you are studying the questions and attempting to clarify matters, you don't yet have Torah.

But the truth is, as long as you are struggling with Torah, as long as you are asking the right questions, you have Torah already.

Because Torah is not about "getting to the truth." Torah is about being truth.
