While the rainbow seems to be a simple physical phenomenon, the Torah tells us that there’s an underlying spiritual message, a covenant with Hashem. The Chovos Halevavos teaches that all physical phenomena have a spiritual element as well.
In order to get into the habit of learning the lessons of the natural phenomena that Hashem is showing us, we have to practice attaching thoughts to the osos that are intended by Hashem for this primary purpose.
This week I will bli neder use the day and night to practice learning the secrets of the universe. Once every day I will take a quick glance at the sun and I will spend thirty seconds thinking about what it’s trying to teach me. And every night I will spend thirty seconds looking at the moon or the stars and review the lessons they are trying to teach.
