I’ve read this one a dozen times or more. “It is written, “there is none else besides Him.” I made a cover to go over my Shamati book so I could take it with me where ever I go. Things in my purse can get pretty tattered so I wanted to protect this book. It’s one of my favorites. (…well, I love them all but this one has something in it that really ‘speaks’ to me). I read this verse and the following words in that first paragraph often to remind me of the real, reality. I read it with the intention and prayer to gain more understanding of my place in this reality… to ask for the training my heart needs to take my place in this society. And, I ask for correction and to understand and feel my way to the center line. (It’s a bumpy ride so this verse is kinda like my anchor. I read it almost daily, and think it from the heart many times daily).
What do I have to do to make myself a Rav? 1. “Love thy friend as thyself,” 2. Annul oneself, 3. Work towards Dvekut with the Creator, 4. Work to change one’s egoism to altruism, 5. Read, study, watch videos, pray each day, forever, 6. Be a (Good Deed) person which is = intention for the sake of the Creator to bestow to the Creator, 7. Accept and enjoy Creator’s Light and pleasure for HIS sake (only), 8. Build one’s desire to have adhesion with the Creator then build the desire to bestow, 9. Learn to ask the Creator for help then listen and learn from the Creator, 10. Commitment for eternity (Ein Sof).
I read over my post and realized I had to correct something. I think I’m closing in on more like a hundred times I’ve read this verse. Of all the materials I’ve read so far, from the first time I saw a teacher quote this one, this is the one verse that hit me IMMEDIATELY. I was graced with an understanding I never had before. I think I actually had a huge wave of goosepimples… just wow. I work to keep that understanding and feeling every day.
Think about the role the teacher has in our spiritual path, and write in a few sentences, what do I have to do in order to “make myself a Rav”
I lived the sketch, I took from the Rav’s clip the importance of the teacher being that bridge a stepping stool to help lift us up towards the creator.
in order to make myself a Rav I must “do and Hear” I must work with the group and annul
The Rav points towards The Creator.
