Our Spiritual Powers
"Great are the works of HaShem; they all seek their desire" (Tehillim 111:2).
HaShem has endowed us with excellent spiritual powers that work harmoniously together to help us succeed. Even more, our spiritual powers intuitively seek to be activated so that we will succeed. For example, the sense of integrity within our soul, seeks to influence us to make correct decisions. Our yearning for truth seeks its expression through our learning and sharing Torah. The goodness of our heart inspires us to perform many acts of kindness. Indeed, all of our inherent positive forces stir within our hearts and seek their fulfillment.
Lesson: Man is blessed with many wonderful "assistants" -- the internal positive impulses that propel us to act in accordance with our inner goodness, decency, and holiness.
Visualization: Envision the great spiritual gifts that HaShem has granted you. Contemplate on your sense of kindness and compassion, your intelligence, and your faith in HaShem. See these positive forces working together, to help you attain your spiritual destiny.
