Shalom aleichem, dear listeners. It's a pleasure to share with you some daily Torah wisdom that shines a light on our everyday life.
Today, we delve into Pirkei Avot, or Ethics of our Fathers, a text that is filled with wisdom that directly applies to our modern living. Specifically, we explore a very poignant verse, "Make your will like His will so that He should make His will like your will. Nullify your will before His will so that He should nullify the will of others before your will."
On the surface, this verse stresses the importance of aligning our will with the Divine will. Nevertheless, it goes deeper and also teaches us the essence of humility and selflessness. When we align our actions and desires with the Divine's will, not out of fear or obligation, but out of a genuine desire to do good, we attract the same goodwill and grace in our lives.
This verse is not just about religious observance, but it's about living a life of principle and integrity. It's about making choices that are good and right, not just for us, but for the people around us, for our society, for our world. This verse is a call to live a life larger than our individual selves, to remember that we are a part of a greater whole.
In our everyday life, this could mean choosing to be patient with a difficult coworker, showing kindness to a stranger, or standing up against injustice. It's about making choices that reflect our highest values and deepest convictions.
So, dear friends, let's strive to align our will with the Divine will, to live with humility, to act with integrity, and to make choices that bring light and love into our world.
