In commemoration of Yud Shevat the tenth of Shevat here is another teaching of the Lubavitcher Rebbe,Menachem Mendel Schneerson OBM who took the leadership of the Chabad movement 67 years ago.
“The ultimate purpose of creation does not lie in any supernal realm, for all those realms entail a descent for G-d. They are but revelations. It is specifically in this world that G-d’s transcendent essence is most tangibly encountered. Through the earthly labor of subduing all that is unholy and transforming it into holiness, we uncover G-d’s most intimate and transcendent self within the earthly garden.” So my friends it’s here where we can achieve change by our actions. Our job is to reveal H”S in everything we do, it’s a little bit like “peek a boo I see you.” A smile, a kind word or gesture, keeping yourself righteous in all your endeavors, this is what all this is all about. This world is the antechamber for the world to come, whatever we achieve here is what we take with us. Don’t waste your time and resources in unnecessary pursuits which only add baggage to your life. Spend your time and resources in fulfilling your purpose.
