Hayom Yom 12 Shvat - Fusing the intellect with emotional excitement
Manage episode 354341790 series 3320921
:הַשֵּׂכֶל וְהַהִתְפַּעֲלוּת שְׁנֵי עוֹלָמוֹת הֵם
Intellect and emotional enthusiasm are two distinct realms:
.עוֹלָם קַר וּמְיוּשָּׁב, וְעוֹלָם רוֹתֵחַ וּמְבוֹהָל
one is cool and settled, the other is seething and frenetic.
.וְזֹאת הִיא עֲבוֹדַת הָאָדָם לְחַבְּרָם לִהְיוֹת לַאֲחָדִים
Man’s task is to fuse these two realms into one.
.וְאָז הַבֶּהָלָה נֶהְפֶּכֶת לִשְׁאִיפָה, וְהַשֵּׂכֶל — לְמוֹרֶה דֶרֶךְ בְּחַיִּים שֶׁל עֲבוֹדָה וּפוֹעַל
At that point, the frenetic energy is transformed into aspiration, and the intellect becomes a guide for a life of Divine service and action.
