22 Adar: Losing Self-Awareness
LOSING SELF-AWARENESS
Moshiach comes when we are unaware. (Sanhedrin 97a)
The Talmud teaches that Moshiach comes through being “unaware.” This means that we must desire Moshiach simply because this is G-d’s desire and the purpose of creation. It is not enough to desire Moshiach for a personal salvation from spiritual or physical duress. Rather, we must detach from our personal wants and our self-awareness; then, we can truly fulfill our G-d given mission.
