How to be a balanced believer

In our last blog, we blogged, “all obsessions, especially religious ones, create a blindness to all other realities!”
A balanced believer is one who understands all realities – the Rebbe was a balanced believer, a man at home with almost all fields of science and God and truth.
Ultimately, we humans are victims of our hearts, for our hearts create our thoughts, hence the drug addict simply cannot see how his family is falling apart due to his drugs, the antisemite simply cannot see how murdering Jewish babies is evil, and likewise, the religious fanatic simply cannot see how anyone else is right.
The truth in fact is God, and God can and does see EVERYTHING!
If nothing else, who made everything? as our sages teach, even behind black magic is God.
So we must realize, the following, to be a balanced believer – number 1. Darkness and light are two hues on God’s palate of colors – 2. Our job is never to be God-forbid, the judge, jury and executioner, that is God’s prerogative, our job is simply to be light!
