ACT OF GRATITUDE: READING OF AN EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK OF SHAMATI
FAITH IN THE RAV, WHAT IS THE MEASURE
I heard in 1943
Yet, when one looks at oneself, he sees that he is poor and
indigent. In addition, when he observes the world, he sees that
the entire world is tormented, each according to his degree.
One should say to that, โThey have eyes and see not.โ It
means that as long as one is in multiple authorities, called they,
they do not see the truth. What are the multiple authorities?
As long as one has two desires, even though one believes that
the entire world belongs to the Creator, but something belongs
to man, too.
In fact, one must annul oneโs authority before the authority
of the Creator, and say that one does not want to live for oneself,
and the only reason that one does want to exist is in order to
bring contentment to the Creator. Thus, by that one annuls
oneโs own authority completely, and then one is found in the
single authority, being the authority of the Creator. Only then
can one see the truth, how the Creator leads the world by the
quality of benevolence.
