Chassidut

Description

We must eradicate the notion that it is we who have gained something material and realize that everything we have is from the Creator. Wisdom or wealth are garments lent by Hashem for our use. Our children were entrusted to us to bring them closer to G-d. We have to daven (pray) that we should not make dirty what Hashem gave us clean. We are not allowed to injure our own body by beginning to smoke. When we fill our hearts with forbidden things, it is more damaging than destroying the Holy Temple.
