Fixing the Mind
But that’s a big error! Because seeing in the dark means that you’re creating for yourself a Torah mind and there’s nothing more important than that. You know, when you go to the Next World and leave everything else behind the only thing you’ll take with you is your mind. The attitudes of the mind, the perfection of these attitudes, that’s what you’ll be left with when your neshamah takes off its overcoat, the body, and goes to the Next World.
Now, the attitudes of the mind that you have to acquire in this world are endless. There’s so much to think about, so much to impress on our minds, that it’s a lifetime of work. But one of the most important and overlooked attitudes we have to acquire while we’re still here is to appreciate the Yaakovs in the world; to recognize the talmidei chachomim, the Torah learners, and to see them for what they really are.
