READING: BETWEEN AFTERNOON AND SUNSET – THURSDAY

TEVILAH (טְבִילָה): PURIFYING (WASHING OF THE BODY) RITUAL AFTER THE MAIN READINGS OF `PRAYER OF MANY´ THIS WEEK.

Kli (Vessel) of Arvut (Mutual Guarantee)   

What is a Kli of Arvut in spirituality?

We are attacking ourselves, our laziness. Is there something outside that I am going to attack? No, I am attacking myself, i.e., first of all my laziness, my pride and my previous habits. I need to reach a state where I am above all these calculations, that I lose myself within everyone, in the intention, with an aspiration to push myself to be among everyone, and there is where I want to be, to lose myself, receive the mind and sensation of everyone, as if I have lost my way. This is what I want. This is called to receive the Kli of Arvut.

PRAYER FOR UPPER STATE: Reflect on the short article above, reflect on it, and try to obey and practice the essence of it.
