Rebbe Nachman of Breslov taught… |
| Not every word is really called a word. Because a word that is not heard and accepted can hardly be called speech. (Likutey Moharan I:29) |
What does this mean to me? |
| Rebbe Nachman teaches that it is the goodness that is within every word that makes it heard and acceptable to others. Everyone is naturally drawn to goodness; when a word is infused with good, it is attractive as a matter of course. How, then, do we make sure that our words are filled with goodness? By making sure that we speak from da’at, with conscious awareness of G-d. |
A prayer: |
| Dear G-d, bring me peace of mind To choose wisely what I say, And bring goodness into my words So that they are heard and acceptable. Please be there with me Whenever I speak. Then everything I say Will be blessed by You. (Between me & You, p. 182)We encourage hearing your feedback and may anonymously publish your remarks. Please send email to: [email protected] |
