10 Tishrei: Peace Of Mind
PEACE OF MIND
In that era, there will be neither famine nor war, neither envy nor competition, for good will flow in abundance, and all the delights will be freely available as dust. The occupation of the entire world will be solely to know G-d. (Rambam, Mishneh Torah, Melachim U’Milchamos 12:5)
No longer will a man say to his friend, “Come and know G-d,” for they will all know Me. (Yirmiyahu 31:33)
G-d has endowed human beings with amazing abilities a natural desire to learn, along with an unquenchable thirst for exploration and growth. Unfortunately, life’s stresses and struggles sap our creativity, leaving us without the intellectual and emotional energy needed for spiritual development.
However, even now, we can experience the tranquility we will feel when Moshiach comes. How? By setting aside the pressures of the present and taking time to learn about the wonderful World to Come.
