“… There
are great treasures in the soul: there’s faith, there’s love, there’s awe,
there’s wisdom, all these treasure you can dig – but if you don’t know where to
dig, you dig up mud.
But if
you want to get to the gold, which is the awe before God, and the silver, which
is the love, and the diamonds, which are the faith, then you have to find the
geologist of the soul who tells you where to dig … but the digging you have to
do yourself.”
Hasidic Rabbi, Menachem Mendel Schneersohn (The Jew in the Lotus, Rodger Kamenetz)
