How Can I View Spirituality As Real [#1458]

November 17, 2018

Question:

Shalom, Rav. I heard the Rav say in a shiur that a person needs to recognize spiritual life just as he recognizes physical life, and that spiritual life is more real than our physical life in front of us. My question is, how can I reach this recognition? The Rav says that this is the way it should be, but how can I truly view spirituality as real as the table in front of me?    

Answer:

It is a general way which is all about touching upon the neshamah (Divine soul), which feels the spiritual just as much as the body can feel the physical. All of the ways are all about touching upon the neshamah. However, the most important thing is exertion in Torah study, with mesirus nefesh (intense devotion), and a little of what is explained in sefer Da Es Nishmasecha (Torah Way To Enlightenment).
