ACT OF GRATITUDE: READING OF AN EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK OF SHAMATI

THE FEAR OF GOD IS HIS TREASURE

I heard on March 31, 1947

The reason we attribute fear to people, as our sages said,
“Everything is in the hands of God, but the fear of God,” is
because He can give everything except fear. This is because what
the Creator gives is more love, not fear.
Acquiring fear is through the power of Torah and Mitzvot.
It means that when one engages in Torah and Mitzvot with the
intention to be rewarded with bringing contentment to one’s
Maker, that aim that rests on the acts of Mitzvot and the study
of Torah brings one to attain it. Otherwise one might stay.
Although one keeps Torah and Mitzvot in every item and detail,
one will still remain merely in the degree of Holy Still.
