The River from Eden


The objective of all man's toil in this world is to reach higher than his own mind, higher than mind at all. Not to a place where the mind is ignored, but rather, to its essence, to the inner sense of beauty and wonder that guides it.

"A river went out from Eden to water the garden." The garden is Mind, where all worlds begin. Eden is a place of delight beyond the garden, far beyond. Yet its river nurtures all that grows there. Adam is placed in the garden to discover the Eden flowing within.

Hmm
Just like today, we find enjoyment in the THINGS of this world, instead of being content with the simple pleasures of a slower paced life. We tend to build Torah around our lives instead of our lives being built around Torah.
