62. Tailors

Every business is the business of a tailor: to make clothes for the blessings that come your way.

You can’t alter the size of your blessings by putting them in bigger clothes—on the contrary, larger clothes are just clumsier clothes.

But neither must the clothes be too small—meaning, you must go out and work in the real world.

Because that is the whole purpose: that miracles and blessings should not come into the world stark naked, but be clothed in the natural world. And we are the tailors.

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

Is not one's life a tikun itself?
But life itself it's not a tikun.
Tikun=right size.
But the existence, on the Torah, of the cities of refugees wouldn't mean that even on this world there are somethings that cannot find the right size? Or when the death penalty appears, doesn't it shows again those wrong sizes?
Everything has a right size?

Tailors...
Very good...The right size of the garment is every tailors labor of desire...It's the wisdom, knowledge and understanding that makes them masters...
