Questions for today:
We learned how to identify a love for the Creator within us that encompasses our entire life – but there must be more. Such a love is still ‘me’ that is loving. Is there a truly selfless love?
If you joined us yesterday for the hold your breath challenge, you'll remember the type of love of the Creator where we recognize that our life is the Creator.
Today, we learn that there's an even higher level than that.
There's a part of the Zohar that's attributed to Moses, where he describes a type of love of the Creator that is similar to the way a child loves a parent.
He wants what's best for the parent and to be close to the parent, but it's not about him at all. It's just about what's best for the parent.
Now, Moses’ persona is a little bit higher than our pay grade. But Moses wasn't just a historical character. There's a little bit of Moses inside each of us.
Therefore, as difficult as it might be, we all have the ability to reveal and express that type of love to the Creator.
133 Tanya Iyar 03 ~ m158 Nissan 29
Tanya book 1, ch 44, Pt 2
Yesterday, we learned about loving the Creator with all our hearts. Today we go higher.
We adapt a deeper love from Moses- a love of a child yearning for his parents, not for his own sake, but because he wants what's best for his parents.
