“…and if the Holy One, blessed be He, did not take us out of Egypt, we and our children and our children’s children would be slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt.” (The Haggadah)
The Exodus did not happen once. It reoccurs at every moment.
At every moment, you have a choice.
You can continue as just another speck of nature, trapped within its relentless current.
Or you can allow the One Above to pick you up from there and carry you close to Him, above and beyond all things.
Why must it repeat itself at every moment?
Because the natural world is recreated at every moment. And this miracle, this bond you have with the One Above, this has nothing to do with the natural world. It’s not in the program.
Indeed, if you are a Jew, by the natural order of things, you should still be a slave to Pharaoh in Egypt.
So that at every moment, the world is created again, including you within it. And, naturally, you find yourself sliding back into slavery, surrendering yourself to the meaningless drudge of Pharaoh’s work projects.
Only that, at the same moment, the One who created this world stretches out His hand to lift you out of there and beyond all things.
And all you need to do is say, “Yes.”
“Yes, I want to keep your mitzvahs. Yes, I will be one with You.”
Only G_d can take us out of our nature.
He gives us the spiritual freedom to present this request to him.
Then gradually He will invert our nature to become like His nature, His goodness will fill our soul.
