Description

We must evaluate our life to see if it is leading to deveikus (cleaving to G-d). We must daven that Hashem should help us to cleave to Him. Simplicity is the only way to G-d. The first step in being close to G-d is the simple recognition that there is a creator of the world. If it were clear to us that G-d created the world, than we wouldn’t do the aveiros (sins) we do. There a difference between knowing and being emotionally attached to something. I may know someone who won the lottery but only someone who actually wins thinks about it all the time.
