If we don’t have a stable and honest foundation, then we are bound to fall and fall hard. Today in our society if individuals distance themselves from a life of Torah they can reach very far places, which are completely abandoned from a Jewish lifestyle. Just like it is easy to find a community rich in Torah, at the same intensity one can find a Jewish community poor in Torah.
Where do we see this in our daily activites? Today I had
cups of hot soup in my hand and if anyone is familiar with Shuls (synagogues)
they know that the chairs are quite different then simple chairs. The chairs in
shuls have special wood placement levels on the back in order for the person
sitting behind to place things (prayer books, Torah books) on it when
learning/praying. Because it was difficult to open up the wood plank to place
the hot soup cups on them I saw that a life without a stable foundation will
never succeed to stay stable.
The secret to a stable
foundation rests in the Torah. When an individual follows in the way of the
holy Torah, only then can they really feel and act in a way of holiness! This
holiness brings the individual to a state
of knowing how and when to react to certain situations in the correct manner. Be’ezrat Hashem with the power of Torah learning we will all reach yeshuv da’at (a stable mental state) of purity and happiness (because happiness is based on purity). Are we pure? Are we stable? How can I be more pure? How can I obtain a more stable thinking system?
