Empty and Full


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

To fill yourself with wisdom, you must be full of wisdom.

To fill yourself with wisdom, you must empty yourself of all your wise thoughts.

To receive the Infinite Light, you must be armed with all the tools that draw light.

To receive the Infinite Light, you must be still and empty.

I don't understand what this means, Rabbi. Would you be kind enough to point me to a reference that might be able to explain the statements so that I might understand them?

Thank you so very much,
Ellen
