Part III. Spiritual Closeness
The Blind Liars
Now, once you understand that there is a Perfect Intelligence, a Borei Olam who wants you to come close to Him by means of His creations, so your eyes open up and you begin to see Him on all sides. On all sides!
Of course most people will just ignore this; when they go home they’ll forget all about it. It’s just talk, they think. Ay yah yay is that a tragedy. It’s a tragedy because this is the way; this is the best way to come close to Hakodosh Boruch Hu. The Rambam says that; he says it’s the most effective of all methods because the wisdom, the design, is so clear that it demonstrates as openly as possible that there is a Great Designer.
I once saw an article in that evolution magazine, The National Geographic. The National Geographic is devoted to evolution – there’s one other thing that it’s devoted too that I won’t say in public but primarily National Geographic is an evolution magazine. So in the article I saw there was a heading like this: ‘The Infinite Design in Nature.’ Infinite design?! You know what that means? It means that all of them are yordei Gehenom. Because if you see infinite design, who is the Infinite Designer? You, of all people, the ones who went to university and studied all the information about how complicated every natural thing is, you should be the first ones to recognize the Hand of the Creator! And you are the ones who are preaching it happened by accident? Blind men! Liars!
