Motivation Faith & Pleasure
You probably explored the following question: Is our belief in the Creator faith or logic?
The founder of Chabad -the Alter Rebbe- in his Lekutei Torah -Voeschanon 4A- explains that “the world is making a mistake” by classifying the belief in the existence of G-d as an act of “faith”.
“The truth is” that the “eye of the mind” sees the logic. The thinking intelligent mind understands that someone must be continuously giving life to the world. The vast sophistication of precisely designed details which are required to provide life to our body and to our universe, logically proclaim the existence of a master designer and Creator.
So in Jewish thought, “faith” does not refer to what is logically obvious. Rather “Faith” refers to a much higher level.
“Faith” is to believe that the Creator is not limited by Creation. He “circles around all of the world” without becoming affected by the world. He remains transcendent.
“He is everything and everything is He”. He is right here, yet He is not limited by our limitations.
You have the power to be a reflection of the Creator. You can do the impossible. You can be Infinite.
Maximize your potential. Be motivated and change yourself and change the world. You are created in the image of G-d! You can always transform and upgrade your life into infinite goodness and success.
We must nurture our faith like a shepherd. Feeding and illuminating our mind and soul with the brilliant light and warmth of understanding the secrets of our rich heritage. 3300 years of Jewish wisdom.
We are commanded: “know this today and return it to your heart”. Enjoy a taste of Moshiach. Unleash your full infinite potential. Your loving Father in Heaven is waiting to help you succeed!
3 messages based on the teachings of the Rebbe:
1) It is a pleasure and it is sweet to connect and unite with the infinite. To explore the treasures of wisdom and the meaning of life. Taste it and you will see that Chabad teachings enrich your life. Your soul is waiting to shine it’s light. Your fiery passion for truth and infinity is a key to your happiness.
2) Honoring your parents is part of the 10
Commandments. Only when we live in unity and peace can we feel peace of mind and tranquility. Our loving Father in Heaven loves every Jew unconditionally, more then elderly parents love their only child who was born to them in their elder years.
3) Baseless hate caused the destruction of our Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Baseless hate includes believing gossip and slander about another. What good is all the wisdom if one is capable of causing pain and aggravation to another. When you do a favor for your fellow Jew you open up new channels of blessings for yourself.
