READING: SUNSET FRIDAY
UNDERSTANDING HIS PROVIDENCE
-by Rabbi Michael Laitman
We are in a state of concealment, and we must understand that we are in concealment. A person is born and lives in this world in a state of total detachment from the true reality. He doesnโt know where he is and whether there is anything besides that. If there is, can it be seen?
When we feel the presence of something, it could be that it is hidden or revealed. So, the concealment is part of the revelation because I already know about the existence of something that is hidden. This means that people who are in a state of concealment are already on the way to the truth, although it is concealed from them at the moment.
This is already an advanced state because ordinary people donโt feel that something is concealed from them.
We go through four phases: double concealment, single concealment, Providence of reward and punishment, and eternal Providence.
