It is Only With the Heart that One Can See Rightly

Antoine de Saint-Exupery, french reconnaissance fighter and author, once said in his book "The Little Prince" that "It is only with the Heart that we can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye". And Albert Einstein taught us that "Not everything that can be proven is important; and not everything important can be proven." The arguments of logic and reason can bring us to the shores of wisdom, but the deepest forms of knowledge are only to be found through experience. Many times we feel that if only we could be given even one proof of God's presence or His interest and wishes from us, well, then we would be ready to jump in and commit to a more Spiritual life in a heartbeat! But the proofs would only take us to the shore. And while arriving at the point of change and growth is extremely important, it is jumping into the pool -- freefalling into the unknown -- letting go -- that is where the ultimate discovery of a meaningful life waits for us. Attached please find a Shu-Shine for the Torah portion of 'V'Etchanan' - "It is Only With the Heart that One Can See Rightly" (click "Listen Now", below!) May we each be blessed to open our hearts to HaShem, and to recognize how His Heart has always been devoted to us. With Love and a Smile, ~Shu
