5 July 2014 · A sentence from the teachings of Rav Kook

„When the whole world is full of blemish, of trivial thoughts, of idea…”

„When the whole world is full of blemish, of trivial thoughts, of ideas of chaos, of strife and wars, of bloodshed and lawlessness, then the upright man, whose treasure of life is holiness, whose vision of the universe and all that is in it flows from the source of life and peace, finds his task, his courage of spirit, and the destiny of his life. And let him know faithfully that only the humble of the earth, the pursuers of peace, the seekers of God, they are the ones who sustain the world and uphold it.”
