Spiritual Thirst

In the fullness of our soul, we sense the necessity of absolute goodness, the impossibility of its not existing, and the unceasing longing in the depths of our heart to rise to it, to approach its heights, to gaze upon its pleasantness...
Faith

There is such a thing as denial of faith that is like acknowledgment of faith. 
And there is also such a thing as acknowledgment of faith that is like denial.
A person may acknowledge that the Torah is from heaven.  But his picture of heaven is so distorted that it contains not even a trace of true faith....
    Universalism
I love all;
I cannot but love all:
All the nations.
From my very depth, I want the glory of all,
The perfection of all.
My love to Israel burns
more greatly...
The Poetic Nature

If your soul is poetic, you must be acquainted with your character, your particular longings, desires, the path of your soul and the special spiritual sustenance it requires to satisfy its spiritual life, just as air is required to breathe...

Encouragement

When you cry out to God from the midst of the confusions of the abyss, your voice will be heard.
When you call out for the light of knowledge, it will shine on you.
Wisdom and kindness will support you and crown you...

Intelligence

The subjugation and stifling of intelligence---whatever the cause--represents the destruction of the world.
In fact, the holier the cause, the more damaging that subjugation is.  It is like a false prophecy in the name of God.  Such a prophecy conveys evil and uncleanness, idolatry and abomination--like a corpse....
The Liberated Gaze
                       
The more you perceive your spiritual state,
The more will you realize that all of your images
Can be limitless.
Your ability to visualize
Can be fully attained....
Yearning
Our constant goal is not only to be redeemed from Egypt, not only to be healed from wounds and delivered from disease, not only to come forth from the bonds of poverty and the darkness of blindness. 
We yearn to be filled with greatness: with the great wealth of the soul.  We thirst for a fresh life, filled with brilliance...
Creativity

When your soul is creative, you must create ideas and thoughts.  You cannot restrict yourself to superficial learning. The flame of your soul spontaneously rises. You cannot restrict its progress....
Kindness

When you experience a strong desire to be good to all, realize that an illumination from the supernal world has come to you.  How fortunate you will be if you prepare a proper place in your heart, in your mind, in the acts of your hands and in all your feelings to receive this exalted guest, which is greater and more exalted than the most noble of this earth.  Take hold of it and do not let go....
Tolerance

When tolerance of points of view comes from a heart that is pure and cleansed of all evil, that tolerance is not liable to chill the flame of holy feelings containing simple faith--which is the source of all life.  Instead, that tolerance broadens and magnifies the foundation of heaven-directed fervor....
The Soul

He whose soul does not soar in the wide expanses, he who does not seek the light of truth and goodness with all his heart, does not suffer spiritual devastation.  But neither does he acquire mighty He takes shelter in the shade of natural havens, like the hares who take shelter in the clefts of the rock....
