There is no such thing as a mitzvah done alone.
In a mitzvah, space, time and consciousness converge. You nod your consent, and a flood of generations flows through you to do the rest.
Together with you, every soul of our people, wherever they may be, are swept along in the current.
Thank you I simply want to express my gratitude to the existence of this "daily thought" system, because it significantly enriches my life. Thank you so much, creaters of it, supporters of it, and of course, thank you G-d. Reply
Re: Unity The Rebbe didn't use those words, but he often made this point: that we can accomplish what we need accomplish now not on our own strength, but with the power of all the generations before us. The concept is that nothing that is real ever really perishes. If it is real it is eternal. So their power and their merits are with us now as they were then. Reply
Unity When you state that a flood of generations flow through you to do the rest, is this based upon a Kabalistic concept? Or is this a metaphor for the covenant? Reply
Wow ! Talk about continuity and the passing of the torch of goodness, this dose is fascinating !
