Passionate Light
Discuss (9)The Infinite Light overflows with passion.
The passion to enter within the finite, to define itself within space and time, to dwell within darkness.
But this is its limitation: It is imprisoned within its Infinitude, for wherever it goes it finds only Itself.
When Infinite Light meets darkness, no darkness is left. As it seeps into space and time, they blur and dissolve. Expose to it the finite cells of the human mind, and all reason surrenders.
So the Infinite Light must first awaken a passion below, commensurate to its passion from Above. A passion of the intellect to know unbounded wisdom, of a created being to embrace its Creator, of darkness to shine. Only once it is awaited with burning desire then can it enter, be welcomed and find peace.
For in the passion itself is G‑d, who is below as above and within all things.

This also means that if you wish to be successful in your deepest and most sincere dreams of goodness for you and for all,you will.
With these sorts of Daily Doses, my suggestion is to print it out and read a few times. Read not only the words, but the white space around them as well. In other words, stop to ponder. It will be well worth the effort.
