The world is not a reasonable place.

Meet it on its own terms: when you do something good, do it beyond reason.

Rebbe Nachman's Prayer for Peace

Lord of Peace, Divine Ruler, to whom peace belongs!
Master of Peace, Creator of all things!

May it be thy will to put an end to war and bloodshed on earth, and to spread a great and wonderful peace over the whole world, so that nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.

Help us and save us all, and let us cling tightly to the virtue of peace. Let there be a truly great peace between every person and their fellow, and between husband and wife, and let there be no discord between people even in their hearts.

Let us never shame any person on earth, great or small. May it be granted unto us to fulfill Thy Commandment to "Love thy neighbor as thyself," with all our hearts and souls and bodies and possessions.

And let it come to pass in our time as it is written, "And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down and none shall make you afraid. I will drive the wild beasts from the land, and neither shall the sword go through your land.

God who is peace, bless us with peace !!!

(Attributed to Rabbi Nachman ben Feiga of Breslov, 1773-1810)

Make Your Own Sanctuary-FA-TI PROPRIUL SANCTUAR

Adar II 5, 5771 · March 11, 2011
By Tzvi Freeman



Ultimately, the purpose of all things is not a rational one, but simply G-d's desire to dwell in an ordinary world, the one in which you and I live. Out of His desire comes not only this world, but all worlds and all things within them.

In cele din urma telul suprem al lucrurilor nu este unul rational, ci simpla dorinta a lui Dumnezeu sa salasluiasca intr-o lume obisnuita, cea in care traim. Din aceasta dorinta se naste nu numai lumea aceasta ci toat lumile si lucrurile din ele.


Why does He so desire? The question is meaningless. Reason is a mere creation. G-d just is. There is nothing for Him to gain or risk losing, for G-d lacks nothing. He desires without cause, just to desire.

De ce doreste asta? Nu are importanta. Motivul este doar creatia. Dumnezeu pur si simplu este. Nu exista nimic pentru Sine de a cistiga, sau riscul de a pierde ceva, caci lui Dumnezeu nimic nu ii lipseste. El doreste fara cauza, doar pentru a dori.


And what does He desire? He desires to take a glimmer of Himself and inject it into a physical body, dressing it first within another soul, an earthly one, one very much a part of this ordinary world.

Si ce anume doreste? Sa ia o sclipire din El insusi si sa o injecteze intr-un corp fizic, imbracindu-l inainte cu un alt suflet, unul pamintesc, unul facind parte din aceasta lume obisnuita.


And He desires that this body and its earthly impulses will obscure and negate the G-dly light breathed into it. And that nevertheless, somehow, in the midst of all this struggle, that spark of G-d within will manage to make its mark, filtering away some of the ugliness and refining some of the preciousness of the body, of the animal driving it, and even of its share of this world.

Si doreste ca acest corp si acest impuls pamintesc sa se intunece si sa se ascunda si sa nege lumina divina pe care a suflat-o in el. Si ca in pofida acestui lucru, in mijlocul tuturor luptelor, acea scinteie divina dinauntru sa reuseasca sa lase o urma, sa filtreze uritenia si sa rafineze ceva din pretiozitatea corpului, a impulsurilor animalice ce il conduc si chiar a partii sale din lumea aceasta.


This is the sanctuary that each person makes in his life, a place where an animal is raised up in a G-dly fire. It is here that G-d is found in all Primal Essence, dwelling in an ordinary world.

Acesta este sanctuarul pe care fiecare persoana il creeaza in viata sa, un loc unde animalul este ridicat intr-un foc ceresc. Aici Dumnezeu este gasit in esenta Sa primordiala, salasluind intr-o lume ordinara.


And for this all things were made.

Si de aceea, toate lucrurile au fost creeate.

Unpraying

Do not pray.

Prayer means there are two entities, one entity petitioning a higher one.

Instead of praying, connect. Become one with your Maker, so that divine energy will come through you and into our world to heal the sick, to cause the rain to fall...

Lubavitcher Rebbe

Nu te ruga.

Rugaciunea inseamna ca exista doua entitati, una cerind ceva celeilalte, mai inalte.

In loc sa te rogi, conecteaza-te. Devino una cu Creatorul, astfel ca energia divina sa curga prin tine in lumea noastra, pentru a vindeca bolnavii si a face ploaia sa cada...

The Power of the Zohar

Influenta societatii, a mediului inconjurator, asupra Incepatorului.

Omul care vrea sa se inalte spiritual, este obligat sa se indeparteze de influente straine si sa nu-si ascunda noile conceptii. Aceasta, doar pana va primi, de Sus, sentimentele necesare care il vor pazi si sustine in continuare.Oamenii indepartati de spiritualitate sunt cel mai putin daunatori, impotrivirea lor sau indiferenta lor este lipsita de influenta.
Dar cei care sunt in vreun fel atasati de conceptii spirituale sau de cabala, sub diversele prezentari false ale ei, reprezinta o piedica in fata acelora care vor sa se inalte in mod autentic spiritual. Dat fiind ca stiinta cabalei „slabeste” aparent puterile omului, ca sa depinda de Creator cabalistii autentici tind sa impresioneze mai putin pe incepatori prin exteriorul lor.Daca incepatorul simte atractie fata de actiunile exterioare ale cabalistilor neautentici, mincinosi, ei vor cadea in capcana „robiei lui FARAON – PAROH(egoismului). Precum se povesteste in „Exodul din Egipt”, oamenii se complaceau in aceasta robie. Aceasta este o povestire care trateaza numai subiectul starilor spirituale prin care trece o persoana; este vorba aici de o inrobire neautentica in spiritual spectaculos, spre care un student incepator se simte atras irezistibil, fara sa-si dea seama. Mai tarziu omul regreta de a fi pierdut energie si timp pe cand trebuia sa fi luptat contra egoismului.
In sfarsit, precum am mai declarat mai sus, omul nu trebuie sa se teama de anturajele cu totul deconectate de spiritualitate, neavand nimic de asimilat de la acestea, nefiind supus la vreo influenta a acestora.
