Who is God
By zevi770 · February 22, 2012
Our sages teach us that Tzaddikim, the holiest saints who incorporate all of Judaism into their very behavior, thought, speech, are similar to their Creator.
But lets look a bit deeper.
What is the highest level that man can achieve?
Consummate love for God?
Self sacrifice?
All these are lofty, but there remains one level achieved only by the greatest of great, the forefathers, the seven shepherds (I believe,) and certainly the Rebbe’s and that is the level of merkavah.
A merkavah is the highest, very unique level.
For all other levels include ego.
Ego and God are not the best of friends.
The millennium goal of the Jewish religion and hence for all people is to be a merkavah.
What is a merkavah?
A merkavah means a wagon.
Who wants to be a wagon?
A lamborghinia, porche, a mercedes but why a wagon?
Well if you want, you can be a lamborghinia, mercedes or porche but the point is that you don’t drive yourself.
You totally give over your thoughts speech and actions to God.
Sounds a bit scary?!
Thats why so few people achieve this level.
A merkavah means that you cease to be you, and who you are is purely the Godliness that comes through you.
