Splitting the Sea - Daily Dose of Wisdom

Along the path to Torah is the splitting of the sea.

What is the sea? It is the thick blanket of materialism that smothers the fire of the G‑dly soul. With a miracle, it is ripped away and the truth revealed. Only then can the Torah be received.

Don't imagine you can keep your belief in a materialist world and append a higher consciousness to it. The sea of concealment has to part and the world must be seen for what it truly is: A G‑dly place ever-awaiting miracles.

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

This resonates so much with me. It is in fact the answer to what has been on my mind the last few weeks... This duality of the life I lead. Living in the world of modernity vs living in the world of spirituality/torah.

Thank you Rabbi Freeman.
