Da’at is the expansion of one’s spiritual awareness. We acquire it by working on heightening our spiritual sensibility; a lifetime task being that our conscious mind was sent into exile at the same time when our physical essence was.
Therefore when our da’at, a state of conscious expansion (our ability to see beyond the here and now), is in exile our finite thinking minds are constricted. The goal: to search beneath the surface and rise above this narrow place.
One of the fundamental ways to work towards living with a more keen awareness of Hashem’s existence is to regularly ask the vital life questions: “Where is my place in this world?” “What difference can I make with my limited stay here?” “What can I do to make my life more meaningful?”
The risk we take when leaving our da’at in exile is the possibility that we will experience more difficulty when hardships c”v come our way. The antidote is to widen our vision and begin focusing on the ‘big picture.’ There is an afterlife, there is eternity, there is reward and consequences for every thought, every action and every iota of effort and longing we extended to hold onto our emuna.
Seeing beyond the now will most certainly require constant reinforcement and work. The payoff: eternity!
