The Ladder of Prayer
Friday, December 09, 2005
From the book HaYom Yom, from Day to Day, from the entry for the 5th of Kiselv...
"A ladder was standing on the ground." (Bereishit 28:12, Yaakov's dream)
Prayer is the ladder that connects souls and G-dhood. And although it stands "...on the ground," the start of Davening being no more than acknowledgement, yet "it's top reaches the Heavens" - a state of total Bitul, self-nullification.
How far can prayer reach, especially prayer with intent and honesty!
Thanks to R. Nati for picking up blogging over the last week as I've been loaded with work and a problematic Internet connection. Moments of trouble are the time for a company to shine, Comcast (my Internet provider) unfortunately did the opposite.
