Feelings and Truth

„The spiritual peace must come as an introduction to the material peace.”From Shemonah Kevatzim I, 684

The infrastructure of the world of action lies in the spirit. A broken spirit and a lack of trust will grow an unstable building, even if the finest builders build it. Think of everything in your life that you approached without stability of spirit — how hard it is to maintain. Precisely because of this, it is important to give a chance before deciding on the direction of the spirit — to listen and to examine our stance, our opinion, and our faith.
