Youthful Wisdom


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

Wisdom lives in the future, and from there it speaks to us. There is no such thing as wisdom of the past.

Wisdom preceded the world and wisdom is its destiny. With each passing moment, wisdom becomes younger, as we come closer to the time when it is born and breathes the air of day.

Our ancient mothers and fathers, the sages, all those from whom we learn wisdom—they are not guardians of the past. They are messengers of the future.

The truth can never be old-fashioned. It was never in fashion to begin with.

Wisdom
So, that is why I am always a step behind and always trying to catch up. Wisdom is in front of me and my minor is history.

WOw WOW
I LOVE THIS!
This is THE most perfect way to sum up the Torah. The other day i was saying this exact thing to someone, it was an intuitive statement, not nearly as succinct as your explanation. Jeepers Rabbi you have solved the puzzle!

youthful wisdom
It is so needed and it is soooooooo very brilliant, Rabbi. Please continue send MORE, many MORE messages of wisdom about truth-this young generation is living a lie, they lie to themsleves and to others-please teach them that ONLY truth matters.Without truth we are all in danger and our future is in danger-their children's future is in danger. TRUTH is the most awakening savier.
