How to tap into your hidden love?

Elevating yourself with the hidden love all Jews possess

The Jew who is not serving G-d at all
is still motivated by the hidden love
all Jews possess.

This love is our inheritance from the patriarchs
Abraham Isaac and Jacob.

When you serve G-d like this no effort is required.

Example:

There is a Jew who is by nature not a “learner.”

But he works hard on himself
until his learning becomes
second nature to him.

At this point learning is a habit.

He does not need to fight himself to sit down and learn.

He is now like any other Yid
who sits and learns all day.

He relies on the hidden love in his heart
to motivate him.

When a Jew decides to involves himself in
learning more than he already is

In Talmudic times it was normal for a student
to review every lesson one hundred times.

Why?

When you do this it
does not require any extra effort.

This is your routine.

You are called:

Someone who is not serving HaShem.

However, when you review your learning
101 times you become known as
someone who serves G-d.

This additional effort requires you
to go against your nature.

Breaking your spiritual habits requires arousing
your love of G-d by deeply contemplating
His greatness.

Contemplating HaShem’s greatness awakens the
inner love that helps you go beyond your usual limitations!

This week’s series is based on a lecture by
Rabbi Mordechai Finkelman on the Tanya.
