Description

p. 137 The "Ashreichah" (happiness) of this world is found within ourselves. What is the proper approach when things don't go my way in my life? The daily decision, over and over again: What is the connection between my life and something I want? By holding on to tightly to physical desires, we enter into the twilight zone of suicide. When Adam and Chava ate from the tree they created mortality. Throwing Hashem out of our personal Gan Eden (paradise) and out of our lives. It's not the "thing" that's poison, it's the need. When the husband's Gan Eden moves from his home to his office or to his neighbor's home. Two approaches to shmiras ha'eynayim (guarding our eyes). Living calmly and with equilibrium in this world.
