May You Reach Spiritual Heights
When the Rabbis would take leave of the academy, they would bless each other, "May you see your world in your lifetime." "Your world" refers to the exalted spiritual world of Gan Eden. HaShem creates the holy world of Gan Eden every moment of existence, and creates a portion there for every person. In this light, they gave each other the blessing to ascend to the heights of Torah wisdom, as if they were elevated to the very spiritual worlds.
Lesson: Just as the Rabbis blessed each other with this beautiful blessing, so too, every person has the potential to reach the ultimate level of wisdom and spirituality.
Visualization: Envision Moshe Rabenu atop Mount Sinai. Imagine him receiving the entire Torah from HaShem. See rays of light shining on his countenance. May HaShem bless you to attain pure Torah wisdom, together with the holiness and joy of Gan Eden. (Based on the writings of the Saba M'Slabodka, Brachos 17a)
