THE GAINS OF THINKING THAT THERE IS A CREATOR [#18929]

June 20, 2022

QUESTION:

The Rav in “Bilvavi Mishkan Evneh” (Part 1) discusses that one should think of the simple fact that there is a Creator. 1) If a person does this consistently, will this also rectify him in the area of “Yesod” (personal holiness)? Will he find it easier to do teshuvah from this practice, and will he reach Ruach HaKodesh? 2) Also, can it be said that every possible gain is contained in this practice?

ANSWER:

1) “Yesod” corresponds to “hiskashrus”, connection, and the more a person becomes connected and attached with the Creator, he rectifies “Yesod” on an inner level. 2) Yes, but a person also requires all of the “branches” [all others of our avodah], at the root level and also in the active sense.
