Living life mindfully (aware of what is happening around and within us) is certainly of important value to increasing our emuna. Yet, this is a stepping stone. The next level we strive to reach and which occurs quite naturally as a result of our new-founded expanded awareness, is that our minds become attuned to a new way of thinking that never was before. We begin seeing Hashem in places, people, objects and events – a new vision of life begins to emerge ‘seemingly’ out of nowhere. In spite of the fact that emotional work may require strength and effort, be assured that the outcome is irreplaceable; a polished point of view on life.
The goal in learning the significant value of living life ‘awake’ and in tune with the world within and without, is intended to transform our way of thinking on a deep, pure level. This delightful way of living brings with it a new experience when reciting the bracha, ‘Baruch Atah Hashem…” “Blessed are You Hashem”: we sense Hashem even more closely Whose honor fills the world
Yes, this sounds like an unattainable level, but with ratzon (will) and practice this ‘naturally’ occurs. Through the daily exercise of becoming cognizant of the messages in life, our physical eyes begin to see as our soul does. The soul indeed sees Hashem in everything but our bodies impede us from tapping into this lofty vision.
Being aware of Hashem’s presence in our lives exchanges our confused reality to a clearly painted truthful reality. How can it not when the soul is at the forefront?
Today’s Daily Dose of Emuna is dedicated to my dear friend Shoshana Shulamit bat Sara Liba. May HaKadosh Baruch Hu gift her with a complete healing amongst all of Klal Yisrael who are sick and suffering b’karov, b’rachamim, Amen.
