Separating From Internet & Getting The Light of Mashiach [#14866]

August 24, 2021

QUESTION:

The Rav has said that the ohro shel Mashiach, the “light of Mashiach,” is shining stronger in our times, with the closer we get to Mashiach. Because of my many aveiros, though, I am not zocheh to feel this “light of Mashiach”, and I fear that I will forever remain an outsider to this, never knowing what it is…But if I overcome my desire not to wallow in the Internet, so that I can reveal more “light of Mashiach” on the world and so that I can do mitzvos and learn Torah with this intention, to reveal more light of Mashiach on the world - will that be a zechus for me to gain the “light of Mashiach”?

ANSWER:

[Yes, you will get it] through ohr makif [through giving up Internet because you want to reveal Mashiach’s light, you are “surrounding” Mashiach’s light and drawing it onto yourself, you will get Mashiach’s light even though you are not actually in touch with it.]
