Thought for the Day


Reciprocity

As much as the soul may yearn to return to the Infinite Light, much more so does the Infinite Light yearn to be found within the human soul. As our souls are reflections of the Infinite Light, so the Infinite Light reflects every nuance of our souls. We are one.

And not the human soul alone, but also the world-soul that vitalizes all life, the Shechina: As much as She yearns to reunite with the Source of Being, so much more does that Source of Being yearn to enter within this world.

If so, what force could stand between them? What could hold back Infinite Light?

It is only His desire that this union occur with our consent, that we be the ones to open the door.

"Open for me just as wide as a pinhole," G_d beseeches us, "and I will open for you as the great doorway of the Temple hall."

From the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, of righteous memory; rendered by Tzvi Freeman. To order the Daily Thoughts in book form, click here.
