Daily Dose of Wisdom

Infinite Light

A strong light is hostile to the eyes. An intense light will burn and destroy. An immense body of light will vaporize anything, turning molecules to atoms, atoms to particles, particles to energy.

An infinite light, however, knows no bounds. It can go anywhere and enter any place. Nothing can say to infinity, "I cannot bear you! You are too powerful for me!"—for, if so, that would be a limitation on the infinite.

That is the name the Kabbalists call G‑d—the Infinite Light. No place is too small, no moment too insignificant, for the Infinite Light to belong.



From the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory; words and condensation by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman. To order Rabbi Freeman’s book, Bringing Heaven Down to Earth, click here.

Sometimes I think you enjoy being cryptic or mysterious.

Making out as if this light differs from what we might expect.

Well, it's exactly what we would expect if we read the Bible with eyes like those of Abraham.

But he always had Sarai to help him.
