The goal of a Jew is to live an elevated life and to see the truth about luxuries that distract him from building his eternity. It is so sad when the drive that is central to a Jew’s ruchniyus growth is misunderstood and misused to satisfy a never-ending craving for more physical, temporal pleasure and growth.
The currency in Shamayim is EFFORT. If you really toiled, if you invested all your efforts into trying to understand, it makes no difference whether or not you came out understanding. Hashem will reward you!” Every dollar in Olam Haba'ah will be payment for another bit of effort we invested in our avodas Hashem in this world.
Every time we learn Torah or do mitzvos in this world, we are providing for our parents and grandparents in the next world – and retaining our connection and closeness with them.
How precious is the zechus of Kaddish recital. Both Mrs. Sevitzky and Rabbi Landau understood that this was a most appropriate form of hakaras hatov and of great value to a neshamah in the next world.
We agreed to our lives here before we were brought down to this world because our neshamos clearly saw that every aspect of our lives would benefit us spiritually.
Invest thought and intention into your mitzvos so that you make the all-important connection to your Creator; then kedushah and berachah will flow into your life!
