Description

p 92. Only a Jew has the spiritual wherewithal to live up to the Torah's standards. When a Jew sins, he can extricate himself easily. A Jew who sins is like a diamond that fell into the mud. Every single Jew is born with a place in Olam HaBa (The World To Come). Our great potential is reflected in the massive number of mitzvos that Hashem gave us. The tzaddikim have Gan Eden (the Garden of Eden) inside of them. Olam HaBa is waiting for us, we simply need to make ourselves compatible to it. The only reason we could be unhappy is because what we are doing is not revealing who we are. Having anavah (humility) prepares us for Olam HaBa. Anger shows us that we are stuck in the physical.
