Weekly Kabbalah Tune Up…5/29/11 — 6/4/11
In our lifetime, each of us has a secret assignment—one or more specific positive actions that we came to this world to perform. If only we knew exactly which particular good work, or works, we’ve come here to do.
The vast majority of people don’t even know they have an assignment to complete, and many who do know, negotiate with themselves: “If I’m spiritual at least 75% of the time, that’s enough. Chances are I’ll do what I’m supposed to do somewhere in that 75%.”
Or we might look around and judge people as being “spiritual” less than 75% of the time in order to help convince ourselves that we’re doing enough. But is it enough?
The fact is that each positive deed we do removes a little darkness that limits our perception. It’s like cleaning a dirty window: We get greater clarity and the Light shines more brightly. It also means it’s far more likely we will recognize our own special assignment when it comes along, if only we’ve been preparing ourselves each step of the way.
It may be that we’ve come here to do 12 specific good things. And although we might have done 750 positive actions throughout the course of our lives, what if we didn’t do the 12 we were meant to do? Telling ourselves “mañana” or “I’ve probably done enough for today” is never good enough. Don’t wait for tomorrow to do your spiritual work. Think of today as the last chance.
This week, let’s keep asking ourselves, “What positive deed can I do right now?”
I gain the ability to see the spiritual challenges in every moment, before they become the foundations of chaos and crises.
All the best,
Yehuda
