„In the depth of feeling everything is contained - all the details hid…”
„In the depth of feeling everything is contained - all the details hidden in the treasuries of the supernal intellect, of which only parts are gradually revealed through the paths of search and research. Feeling grasps them not gradually; it does not need the aid of intellectual sophistication in order to recognize their goodness. Faith is the feeling of the whole; everything is stored within it.”From Pinkas HaDapim (Notebook of the Pages) I, 60
There is in feeling an ability to know far beyond the power of the intellect. Feeling senses what the intellect learns and contemplates and works upon.
The power of the heart, of our inner sensations, we must develop and elevate, for in their depth everything is contained. The ability for mending and change and a better world resides in them.
The background noise of our world destroys feeling. It shatters for it the concept of partnership and love, grinds to dust the concept of faithfulness, and harms faith as well. We must remember the power of feeling, reduce the background noise as much as possible, and in this way, out of a pure heart, one can also mend the world.
