Quote of the Month

The most powerful source of help in attaining the lofty level of loving God is feeling intense awe and dread of Him, a fear that pervades your fulfilling of His commandments. If you always think that His watchful eye is fixed on the inner recesses of your mind, that He is aware of your thoughts, whether hidden or revealed, and that He follows the dictates of your conscience; if you dwell on His subtle direction present in every move you make, His lovingkindness to you, His hidden knowledge of your past and future, and His constant effort to bring you close to Him, you will not be able to resists the flow of love that will invade you, and you will surrender yourself to Him  with total confidence.

 

(Elijah de Vidas, Reshit Ḥokhmah, Gate of Love)
