Padah Bishaloim 5738
REDEMPTION
The main benefit of the final redemption is not so much redemption, but that it will be done peacefully (in other words, where everyone will so desire.)
REDEEMING THE SHECHINA
The Shechinah descended into the evil realms (for in order for humanity to exist, there must be good, neutral and evil) and hence when we grow – when we listen to G-d, we literally redeem.
LOVE
There are two forms of love, direct and reflective – in other words, direct love, is when I choose you – reflective is when you reciprocate – For example, it is the way of a man to choose a woman – and when she feels his love, her heart will reflect – similarly, first God chose us, but as we then love him…
BIRURIM
One of our primary functions – which as the Rebbe says has been completed – is to bring back the Divine sparks (buried within.)
BAAL TESHUVA
Though in heaven our soul had immense love and awe for God, but the level of the baal teshuvah – who feeling so lost, like the desert wanderer, who stumbles upon an oasis – his joy is infinite.
HARMONY
The whole goal of the Torah is to create harmony.
HARMONY
The world stands on three pillars – Torah study – prayer – and acts of goodness and kindness.
Through (the above three pillars) the world become harmonious.
GOD’S BLESSINGS
When we Jews engage in these pillars – like an elevator connecting below to above, the benefit of G-d’s beneficence comes back.
BEING INVOLVED
Just as a businessman is passionate about his enterprise – even when he is not in the office his mind is still (somewhat) preoccupied; similarly our “business” of Torah study, prayer and good deeds (it’s not perfunctory obligation, but a life passion.)
This causes a reciprocal amount, of Divine effulgence (blessing.)
HOW TO STUDY
When we are studying Torah – it should be, as if there is nothing (like Shabbos.)
MOSHIACH – TORAH
When Moshaich comes, the entire world will be pursuing Torah.
CHASSIDUS
The study of Chassidus elevates and unifies a Jew into God.
