Description

Deepest ratzon (inner will) of a Jew is to come closer to Hashem. Everything we go through in life is to come closer to Hashem. Each person is a mixture, a salad of desires, one surfacing after the other. We must achieve clarity by identifying our inner forces. We must clarify: “What do I truly want?” In this way, he will gradually separate our desire for this world from our inner spiritual desire, and give each its proper place in the soul. By contemplating that the neshamah contains the state of “our will is to do Your will” we allow our true inner will to become exposed.
