Daily Kabbalah Tune Up

November 9^th, 2011 DKTU

"How Low Can You Go?"

“We all fall back, spiritually-speaking, from time to time. It's important to acknowledge where we messed up, but it's equally important to continue onwards. Too many of us get down on ourselves and give up all together. The great kabbalist Rav Nachman said when he fell from the spiritual level he had attained, he did not feel depressed. He would just begin anew, as if he had never before on the spiritual path. Sometimes he would have to begin anew several times in one day. He also said that through depression and sadness a man can forget who and what he really is because his true essence is wrapped by so many layers of sadness. Therefore it is necessary to fight to be in a state of joy - no matter how low you have gone. Restart your Kabbalah practice as if today were your first day. Forget about where you should be, or what you shouldn't be doing. Just smile, be happy and know that your joy is like a restart button on the game of your life."
