Hayom Yom 5 Tishrei - Teshuva by having in mind how all existence is created from nothingness

קִצּוּר בִּאוּר אוֹפֶן הבAn explanation [by the Rebbe Rashab] of the second approach, abridged: שׁ, שִׁוִּיתִי הוי' לְנֶגְדִּי תָמִיד“I have placed G‑d (Havayah) before me at all times.”הוי' מוֹרֶה עַל הִתְהַוּוּת הָעוֹלָם וְהִתְהַוּוּת הַנִּבְרָאִיםThe Divine Name Havayah [lit., “being, becoming”]denotes the bringing into existence of the world and the created beings. אֲשֶׁר הִתְהַוּוּת הַבְּרִיאָה כּוּלָהּ וְחַיּוּתָהּThe manner in which all existence is created and granted vitality הוּא בְּדֶרֶךְ אֵין עֲרוֹךְ מֵאַיִן לְיֵשׁis such that, as it comes into being from nothingness, it has no appreciation of its incomparably [distant Creator].וְהִיא עֲבוֹדַת הַתְּשׁוּבָה הַבָּאָה עַל יְדֵי זֶהThe act of teshuvah based upon this approach means אֲשֶׁר תָּמִיד לְנֶגֶד עֵינָיו עִנְיַן הַהֲוָיָ' שֶׁל הָעוֹלָם וּמְלוֹאוֹhaving the creation of the world and its fullness always in mind.Text and Translation courtesy of Sichos in EnglishFor questions and follow-up: [email protected]
