Be Within Stay Above

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

« Previous

No one can predict the tomorrow of a human being. We move from abject poverty to opulent wealth on the spur of a moment, from hedonism to spiritual heights in a sudden flash. We are creatures who know no bounds, with limitless power to be whatever we want.

We get stuck -- but not from a shortage of power. It is from our failure to recognize the knots with which we have tied ourselves.

knots

I spend my day being wound around and -yes- spun into a knot-or two or three-and this is an actual acount of how I spend my day...once I am knotted-it is impossible-real impossible...then I begin my day again until the next knot-it's interesting that you should write about this...in the same context as poverty and wealth idea-I feel this knot game is poverty-in the worst way-thank you for writing this-

Thanks

Thank you to Tzvi Freeman who captures so many slivers of life with his Daily Dose bits. They often are a highlight of my day. This one reminds me of the idea in Pirkei Avot (Ethics of the Fathers) which basically says 'you can't trust yourself until the day you die'.

People can be all over the map. I am no exception. Sometimes we fall off the face of the world, as it were. Thank G-d we have the wisdom of the Torah to keep us in place.

Thank you Mr. Freeman. Best to you.

Agreed, but when we are in a tight place, how do we untie the knots.
