'And an angel of God called to him from heaven and said, 'Abraham! Abraham!' And he said, 'Here I am.' And he said, 'Do not stretch forth your hand to the lad, nor do the slightest thing to him, for now I know that you are a God fearing man, and you did not withhold your son, your only one, from Me.' ' (Bereishit - Chapter 22:11-12)
The Ramban states: At the beginning Abraham's fear of G-d was latent; it had not become actualized through such a great deed. But now it was known in actuality, and his merit was perfect, and his reward would be complete from the Eternal, the G-d of Israel.
We are accustomed to think that when we completely understand something but we haven't yet acted upon it, the only thing we are missing is the action. From this verse Rav Yerucham Levovitz, the great pre-WWII Mirrer mashgiach learns that this is a fundamental mistake. The truth is that if one's consciousness and understanding do not bring forth fruitful actions then their ideas and perceptions are not actually real and are in fact close to nothing.
If one starts to build a house and he builds the foundation but never finishes the house, the construction which is left uncompleted is never called a home and is almost considered worthless. The same is true in the world of spirituality. Abraham was not called a G-d fearing person until his internal understanding of the Creator brought him to this holy and righteous act.
All of us have many deep insights as to the nature of G-d and clearly understand right from wrong. Yet in reality, if we do live our lives according to our understanding it means that we think we understand when in fact we do not. G-d put us into this world to act and the bottom line is that essentially we are what we do not what we know.
This should shake us until our very foundations.

The rewards and risks of personal freedom We all need to decide whether to 'play it safe' in life and worry about the downside, or instead take a chance, by being who we really are and living the life our heart desires. Which choice are you making?One of the first things I noticed about my newly purchased parrot, was that he couldn't fly. Chico's wings had been clipped and he was stuck here on earth just like us humans. Once the weather turned nice I took Chico and sat him on a branch of a tree in my backyard, hoping to make him happier… 2. What is success and how do we achieve it? To be clear about what success is must be the first step to achieving success. So far, the best definition I have come across is: 'Success is the completion of anything intended'.In other words success is finishing what you planned to do. This shines a light on failure and success.Make a plan and follow it and you will have succeeded. Make a plan and do not follow it and you will have failed. This gives a yard stick for judging every day of our lives. We can say at the end of the day 'I have fa… 3. Perception PERCEPTIONA friend of mine said to me one evening, “this is what I admire about you, whenever you say you’re gonna to do something, you do it”! People always ask me how do I stay motivated? How do I stay encouraged? Whenever I am asked this question my answer is always the same. I tell them that I stay focused and motivated by remaining in an autopilot mode. However, when I ponder that question on a deeper spiritual level, I come to the realization that the true answer is much more involved than… 4. Power Of "WHY" The most powerful question one can ask is simple, short, andeffective. “Why?” is probably one of the most commonly heardquestions and, not only one of the most difficult to answer, butalso the most difficult to satisfy. We like to call 'Why?' ahelper question. 'Why' is a question that can help steer theconversation into your critical path and towards the answer thatyou're seeking.When one asks “why” they are tapping into their curiosity,and we all know that our curiosity is extremely difficult t… |
