Book Title Bringing Heaven Down to Earth
Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson
« Previous Next »

21. Every Detail

The Rebbe describes the following as the central teaching of the Baal Shem Tov:

Not only the pirouettes of a leaf as it falls off a tree, the quivering of a blade of grass in the wind, each and every detail of existence brought into being, given life and directed every moment from Above

--but beyond that:
Every nuance is an essential component of a grand and G-dly scheme, the gestalt of all those vital minutiae.
Every moment burns with the pulse of G-d’s desire.

Meditate on this. And then think:
How much more so the details of my daily life.

Everything component of Gods desire...
It is easy to see every single nuance of what happens in nature, is beautiful and perfect and desired so by G-d. But with our own lifes it is much more difficult. We have free will. Sometimes we are on the wrong track. Our Oneness with G-d is not perfect yet.
How can I be sure, that the details of my daily life are *directed from Above* and not from my own Ego?
I would love so much you were right!
The Doses of the Rebbes thoughts are every day anew inspiring and making me think.
The way you put it into words, Rabbi Freeman, delights me. Thank you!

As the Rebbe put it, there are things done with intent, but not with desire.

And there are things that will make no sense to us as long as we are in this world.
