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

FAITH IN THE RAV, WHAT IS THE MEASURE
I heard in 1943

It follows that one keeps the commandments of the Rav, that
he was allotted a special time to walk on the right and a special
time to walk on the left. Left contradicts the right, since left means
when one calculates for oneself and begins to examine what he
has already acquired in the work of God, and he sees that he is
poor and indigent. Thus, how can one be in wholeness?
Still, one goes above reason because of the commandment of
the Rav. It follows that one’s entire wholeness was built on above
reason, and this is called “faith.” This is the meaning of, “in
every place where I cause My Name to be mentioned I will come
unto thee and bless thee.” “In every place” means although one
is still not worthy of a blessing, nonetheless, I gave My blessing,
because you make a place, meaning a place of gladness, in which
the Upper Light can be.
