Description

To return to Hashem we have to return to ourselves. Key to our entire life is to be true to ourselves. If we are distant from ourselves we are distant from Hashem. Rebbe Reb Bunim- Medas HaDin (strictly speaking) we should not lie to another person but Lifnai Medas HaDin (being exceedingly strict) we should not lie to ourselves. If we try to meet Hashem on our terms we will not succeed. Moshiach is the very inner breath of who we are. If we find the "I" in ourself, then we will find Hashem. The secret of "Ani Hashem" (I am Hashem) is that by finding the "I" in myself I will find Hashem.
