Sometimes, eureka is not in the concept, but in the word which defines it, making it accessible to us, for our lingo is what obscures or clarifies!
So this is my latest eureka!
Everything under God, from the greatest mind, say Einstein, to the lowest, say a worm, has the same thing in common, and that is, it is limited; in fact, the reason we marvel at Einstein’s mind, is actually because it is greater than ours; So, say there is a super computer, we find it amazing, for relative to our computer, it can do so much more, but relative to unlimited, it is as if it doesn’t have a mind! for as we all know, the greatest number in the world, say a google, relative to infinite numbers, is less than one relative to a google, for one, no matter how minuscule, there is a similarity to a google, whereas infinite relative to the highest of finite is a different category, making this number and the lowest number EQUIDISTANT to it.
And this is the simple point, eureka! yes, can you say eureka too many times in a eureka euphoria!? – you see, God’s goal is not for us to become the highest of the limited, for in actual fact, relative to God, it is the same as the lowest of the limited, as we say, that gentile philosophers and religions mistakenly place heaven closer to God than earth, but King David says, both are equidistance from God!
And this is the point the Rebbes never tired to each us, “God desires to dwell in us on earth” for the ultimate expression of the unlimited, is not a man who can go somewhat higher in his limited paradigm, understanding more, yet remain limited, rather, a man who can shed his limited paradigm for the sake of allowing the unlimited God, and as he is unlimited, he can enter into you and speak to, come through you and hence you now have instead of a limited human being, an unlimited, and no greater example of this, is the Rebbes who must have practiced what they preached, for take our Rebbe, there perhaps is no person in any measure, shape, comparison, who achieved anything that can be construed even touching the realm of the Rebbes achievements, to list a few: thousands of educational institutions, hundreds of incredibly novel books, with as Rabbi Hirsphrung, Chief Rabbi of Montréal, perhaps one of the greatest scholars of our generation said, that each one of the Rebbes insights could only have come from a Godly man, and this is in addition to personally answering hundreds of thousands of letters, blessing, waiting for tens of thousands of people, and the list of activities is perhaps infinite, so here we see and as the Rebbe teaches, the reason God makes Rebbes, is to offer a paradigm for us to copy, how when man sheds himself and allows God to flow through, suddenly the limited becomes unlimited!!!
