BENParticipantHi Ben from Manila. I am trying to reconcile why things like the holocaust and the Gaza war happens with None Else Beside Him.
BENParticipantFrom Shamati Articles # 12 The Essence of One’s Work
The essence of one’s work should be how to come to feel taste in bestowing contentment to one’s Maker, since all that one does for oneself distances him from the Creator, due to the disparity of form. However, if one performs an act to benefit the Creator, even the smallest act, it is still considered a Mitzva (commandment/precept).
Hence, one’s primary exertion should be to acquire a force that feels taste in bestowing, which is through lessening the force that feels taste in self-reception. In that state one slowly acquires the taste in bestowing.
I chose this article because this is how my life is. When I went to Israel this Sept 2023, my prayer was for me to be able to feel the Creator and to start feeling how to really bestow. I pray night and day for this and in my trip I did not know what I will do in Israel. But as was meant to happen, one thing lead to another and I just found myself attending the convention. I saw the Rav, I saw the friends, I felt the connection. I felt joy that I never felt before. I continue now with my Young Group and the books and the study. I know I am very far from being in adhesion but I know that I am in the right environment. I will continue praying that I will gain more insight and be more connected. Thank you very much for everyone in BB and the group who has been helping me.
