Description

Conditional love is extrinsic, which comes and goes, but unconditional love is intrinsic which never ceases. There is very big holiness in consistency. Even when we are involved in the physical world (as needed) our mind and heart must be focused and attached to the Creator. Only if we really use all our strength to to live in the world of deveikus (attachment) to the Creator will Hashem shower on us superhuman abilities. It is impossible to attain the refined level of deveikus unless we have already attained: 1) simple faith that there is a Creator and to try to feel His Presence; 2) feeling Divine Providence; 3) davening for each thing; 4) conditional love.
