Yaakov grabbed onto the ‘ears’ of the sleeping bandit and ‘awakened’ Esav. But Shlomo Hamelech teaches us “Don’t get involved!” There are so many important Olam Haba things to grab onto in this world and every time we grab a dog’s ears we’re getting stuck in situations we don’t belong.
This week I will keep this possuk in my mind as I make my way through this test of life and I’ll try, as much as possible, to apply its lesson by beginning to leave go of superfluous things I’ve grabbed onto. I will bli neder make a practical kabbalah, at least for this week, to minimize my involvement in “the dog’s ears” in a way that’s applicable to my situation in life.
This week's booklet is based on tapes:
R-46 - Seizing a Dog’s Ears | 41 - Avoiding Entanglement
E-65 - The World Diverts the Mind
