Question:
What is the balance between how much one should talk to Hashem verbally and mentally?
Answer:
There is no exact answer to this. Try to feel from within yourself and discern which method is more for you. To illustrate, how much should we eat and how much should we drink? There’s no exact answer. Sometimes we need to eat more and sometimes we need to drink more. So too, there are different ways to connect to Hashem (verbal and mental), and it depends on each person. Sometimes a person is talking to Hashem verbally and he feels that he needs a quieter kind of a connection, so he should use the mental method. Another kind of person isn’t satisfied with the mental method because although he has quiet, he feels that it’s lacking excitement, so he needs to make use of the verbal method. So each method depends on each person’s taste as well as on the particular time in his life.
