Machshava:

Purim 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Bilvavi II

Description

Last shiur in the series. We must live with true simplicity with the Creator. A simple person is on the level where we don’t ask because we understand that there is no need to ask. We have no interest in receiving answers. We yearn only to do the will of Hashem, without knowing reasons. Purim has the numerical value of shalev (serenity). There is nothing to do in this world other than to serve Hashem. The way to get there is through Torah and mitzvos with the methods we have discussed, but the goal is one: to live with the Creator. There is nothing else to do; either we live with the Creator, or we have nothing! We need to incorporate these teachings in our lives.
