Hayom Yom 8 Adar 2 - One action is better than a thousand sighs

אַאַמוּ"ר כּוֹתֵב בְּאֶחָד מִמִּכְתָּבָיו My revered father, the Rebbe [Rashab], writes in one of his letters: טוֹבָה פְּעוּלָּה אַחַת מֵאֶלֶף אֲנָחוֹת “One action is better than a thousand sighs. אֱלֹקֵינוּ חַי וְתוֹרָה וּמִצְוֹת נִצְחִיִּים הֵמָּה Our G‑d is alive and the Torah and its mitzvos are eternal. עֲזוֹב אֶת הָאֲנָחָה Abandon sighing, וּשְׁקוֹד בַּעֲבוֹדָה בְּפוֹעַל וִיחָנְךָ הָאֱלֹקִים apply yourself diligently to actual avodah, and G‑d will be gracious to you.” Text and Translation courtesy of Sichos in English
