From darkness to ever increasing light
By zevi770 · December 8, 2012
Darkness is the natural state of man; though our hearts and souls are pure, our minds become clouded by the darkness, the insensitivity, the stupidity surrounding us!
Eventually, like the person boring his way out of a tunnel seeking the truth, we find God!
But our minds are still limited into the very untruth we were born into.
Our entire frame of reference is one of ego and hence we tend to not realize who the God we discovered is.
Enter the Rebbe:
The greatest practical mystic of our, and perhaps, all generations.
The Rebbe teaches us a number of things about God which if we don’t understand this, we place God into a dark paradigm.
1. God has zero ego – he doesn’t need our praise, he needs no respect; all of this is only as we need to praise God so we remain humble, we need to honor God, so we remain good, etc. etc.
2. God perhaps, far more importantly, is, the infinity of God makes him, and his goodness – his interaction with us – UNLIMITED.
This is such a difficult concept, for our very paradigm of both darkness and light, is based on a limited paradigm.
As Newton famously thought, that if you give him any point in the universe he could extrapolate every other point.
But infinity is the ability to recreate new points indefinitely!
