26 August 2019 · A sentence from the teachings of Rav Kook

„One whose soul is a poetic soul must know his temperament, his specia…”

„One whose soul is a poetic soul must know his temperament, his special desires and yearnings, the disposition of his soul, and the special spiritual nourishment for him, required for the satisfaction of his spiritual vitality like air for breathing.”

Our uniqueness, the way that is special to us, is our gift in the world—the way in which we are to leave our imprint, to work, to act, and to give to the world around us.

One who has been granted a poetic soul must act in the world with his poetic soul. One who, God forbid, castrates poetic souls does not act in the world out of strength, but the opposite.

We must strengthen our power, in a way of uprightness and joy, and bring forth into actuality the special letter that is ours—for ourselves and for the world around us.

***

For the elevation of the soul of Avraham ben Leah, who passed away 49 years ago today.
