Natural Awareness

Natural Awareness

So we have to know that Hakadosh Baruch Hu breathed into man an innate instinctive wisdom. יוָּפַ‡¿ּב חַּפƒּיַו – He breathed into his nostrils a wisdom (Bereishis 2:7). And included in this wisdom that every man harbors within himself is an instinctive awareness of a Borei; he feels Hakadosh Baruch Hu in his heart. It's natural; it’s inborn in man. Only that if you're a busy person and if you mingle with people then this thought is driven out of your heart.

Pay attention to that because you’re hearing now a klal gadol baTorah, a very important principle. Company, people, friends, cousins, it’s all a contradiction to the achievement of yiras Hashem. It can’t be helped. The more you mingle with people the more you forget about Hashem.
