I.e. unlike the common perspective, the skhar of the mitzvo that is usually viewed in light of Oylom haBomo is the mitzvo itself (the dveykus to Hashem in this mitzvo).<BR/><BR/>Look for example in Likutey Moharan 5 which you are probably familiar with, which is based on this teaching of the Baal Shem Tov (the original source can be found in several places, for example in Toldoys Yakoyv Yoysef).<BR/><BR/>How conscious one is of this dveykus is the second issue. Since it is very hard (if not impossible) to describe verbally what dveykus is (as talmidey Maggid point out) this issue is pretty hard to "pinpoint". Look in Tzavoas hoRivash and "Oyr haGonuz leTzadikim" for some very deep insight into this subject.<BR/><BR/>It is really important to seriously learn these early sifey Chasidus, in order to start approaching these issues. (Which is noted by R' Isomor Shwartz in his shiur in Belzer Koylel which you put on-line too). What I liked there that he said that one has to have some view, or "program" of action to some degree, or at least a direction, because otherwise it his hard to progress. This is very much utilized by Ramchal in Mesilas Yeshorim for example.<BR/><BR/>Chasidus tends to be more sporadic and less formal, but there is a clear feeling that some sctructure must be formed to move forward. The only point is - it is probably a personal task, which comes out different for different people.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-54387047587277017152007-09-20T16:46:00.000-04:002007-09-20T16:46:00.000-04:00A Yid,Gevaldig!

I had always thought that one didn't have to be conscious of the Deveikus for it to, nevertheless, be there. So this was a big paradigm shift for me.<BR/><BR/>But from what my friend said in the names of Rav Weinberger and Rav Avraham Schorr, they also thought it was obvious.<BR/><BR/>My question is why this idea is not known and not taught, if it's so obvious?<BR/><BR/>-Dixie YidDixieYid (يهودي جنوبي)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03713423988723533390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-90961159884134061892007-09-20T16:34:00.000-04:002007-09-20T16:34:00.000-04:00Why is it a chidush that no one knows?

In other words, coming close to the Rebono shel Olam is joyful. <BR/><BR/>It follows that if our Torah and mitzvos are bringing us close to HaShem we will know it because we'll feel joy.<BR/><BR/>I hope to post the ma'amar tomorrow B'ezras Hashem.Moshe David Tokayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18201862051914605921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2606399196932045640.post-38513938303044330022007-09-19T10:02:00.000-04:002007-09-19T10:02:00.000-04:00I am sorry for being unclear.

Then they will see what they accomplished. And I understood that Rabenu z.l. said this to strengthen him so that he should not be depressed that he has already been involved in the service of HaShem and he still does not see any effect on himself. Because there are those who can not see there entire lives what they accomplished only afterwards, as mentioned before." (Sihot ha-Ran no.244)<BR/>It seems to me that while devekut in this world should be a goal we should be careful not to use it as the sole yardstick to measure whether we have truly accomplished in Avodat HaShem. We should serve HaShem with temimut (simplicity). Only HaShem can decide whether we will "ro'eh olamkha be-hayekhah" (see our world in our lifetimes - i.e. experience a taste of the devekut of Olam ha-Ba in Olam ha-Zeh).iznisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
