Short inspirational pieces by Avrohom Tzvi Schwartz, Kiryat
Sefer, author of A Handful of Light, Hearts on Fire
and other works on Mussar and Hashkofa
It's a Pleasure
Many things give us many types of pleasure. Still, we need to
learn to take pleasure in Hashem.
We may enjoy our families and friends. We may enjoy resting
after a long, hard day. We may enjoy a hot meal when we are
hungry, a cold drink when we are thirsty. We may enjoy
shopping, acquiring new possessions. We may enjoy our
accomplishments, our victories. We may enjoy a day at the
beach. We may enjoy a sunset or a piece of music.
Still, we need to train ourselves to see Hashem as the Author
of all these pleasures, the Source of all this enjoyment.
Then we will also learn to enjoy life even without the
extras, without the trimmings. Then we will learn to enjoy
Hashem for Himself, and attach ourselves to the Source of all
happiness, for all time.
This is the ultimate way to live.
