„In understanding myself I will understand everything – the world and life – until understanding reaches the source of life.”From Shemonah Kevatzim VII, 189
Our DNA is the source for understanding the entire world. One who tries to decipher the map of the world need not look outward, but deep, deep inward, at his feelings, his yearnings, and his desires – both those revealed before our eyes, and those hidden and concealed for various reasons. The human being is a small world, and when we invest in ourselves the capacity for inner understanding and containment, we will be able to contain a world and its fullness.
