THE FEAR OF GOD IS HIS TREASURE

I heard on March 31, 1947

It follows that one should always remember the reason that
obligates one to engage in Torah and Mitzvot. This is what our
sages meant by, “that your Holiness will be for My Name.” It
means that I will be your cause, meaning that your entire work
is in wanting to delight Me, meaning that all your deeds will be
in order to bestow.
Our sages said (Berachot 20), “Everything there is in keeping,
there is in remembering.” This means that all those who
engage in keeping Torah and Mitzvot with the aim to achieve
“remembering,” by way of, “When I remember Him, He will
not suffer me to sleep.” It follows, that the keeping is primarily
in order to be awarded remembering.
