๐ SUNDAY PRAYER: BINAH-GRACE ON SECOND SHABBAT MEAL
TAKE PRIDE IN THE LIGHT, NOT YOURSELF
-by Rabbi Michael Laitman
Question: How can I avoid taking pride in my bestowal to the Creator?
Answer: The only thing you can take pride in is that youโve received support from Above, which enabled you to overcome the hardships, meaning your ego. In other words, you need to take pride in the Creator, the Light, His help, but not yourself!
What do we have? Nothing! Our desires and actions are not our own, and neither is the Light. Even the prayer is not our own, but we receive it from the environment. Therefore, the further we advance, the less we receive, and the more we are grateful.
And when we return back to Malchut of the world Infinity, we receive the same Light of Nefesh de Nefesh which was in Malchut in its very first state. However, we intensify its illumination by โ613โ times with our gratitude, attainment of the good, and sensation of the Giverโs greatness.
But the Light itself does not change since it has no measure. The Light itself remains Nefesh de Nefesh, merely a small illumination. It is we who turn it into a great flame.
