Many are those who think, the great Jewish masters, from Abraham down to the Rebbe must have had great egos, for they were great – in fact, many even think G-d (G-d-forbid) must have an ego – what we fail to appreciate is; the real cause of their greatness was not in applying their minds but in realizing that the human mind is fallible (at best) and in humbling themselves to accepting – as the famous teaching upon which all of Judaism is based Naaseh Venishmah – “First We Adhere To God’s Teachings, than we try to understand them.”
