Description

P. 209. (5th perek). - Even though the mind cannot grasp the ratzon (will) and chochma (wisdom) of Hashem, we can unify with Hashem through grasping a piece of Torah. Two ways to grow in avodas Hashem: (1) Learn one topic in Torah without any mental interruption for 15 minutes. (2) Take one mitzvah and become an expert in it, investing everything. There is no unification in the physical world like the unification of the mind with Torah. Our Yiddishkeit should be who we are, not a part of us. When our mind is deep in Hashem's Torah, it is filled more and more with d'var (the word of) Hashem. Through Torah, we become a King. The tzaddikim are so filled with Hashem's Torah that they can do miracles.
