Down in the Dumps [#1621]

January 7, 2019

Question:

My ruchniyus (spiritual situation) has taken a downslide. Nothing comforts me. What should I do?

Answer:

Search for the most beloved and joyous place in your soul, and return to this pleasant space. From there you can ascend higher. [You can uncover this space in the soul], even if it is a very concealed and hidden place in yourself. There is always a spark [of this pleasant place in your soul], though it may be very small, which is still revealed. Connect to it. “Shake off the dust, arise” – arise, arise, arise, holy neshamah – with splendor, joy, and pride!
