Questions for today:
The connection that we’ve been describing, a reciprocal love to the Creator, is indeed remarkable. Where and in what can we see it in our daily lives?
We have been talking about the love that we feel for the Creator when we realize the creator's affection for us. Let's continue discussing this topic.
When we fulfill one of the Creator’s commandments, we use the same terminology that a bride and groom use under the wedding canopy. Additionally, throughout the book of the Song of Songs, King Solomon uses the bride and groom analogy to represent our relationship with the Creator.
When a husband and wife connect with each other over a cup of coffee, they are not connecting through their hands or their cups. Their entire being are connecting, they are only utilizing that physical coffee.
Furthermore, the bond between a husband and wife is not merely an emotional or intellectual connection. Their bonding is a connection of their souls.
A blind couple can give birth to a seeing child because their bond is coming from the essence of their souls.
As in that analogy, when we observe one of G-d’s commandments, the commandment is the medium that allows our Essence to connect to the Creator’s Essence.
