… Recib\u00ed su carta del 8 de Shevat, pero \u00e9sta es la primera oportunidad que tengo para contestarle. Si hubiera habido alguna buena noticia mientras tanto, no dudo que me lo hubiera escrito.
\nHe seems to be upset because he feels he has not reached the proper level of Torah and mitzvot and cannot see the tajles (goal), etc., and that discourages him.<\/p>\n
Leaving aside the details of your complaint, I would like to make a few observations:<\/p>\n
1. The feeling of dissatisfaction with oneself is a good sign, as it indicates vitality and an urgency to rise and improve oneself, which is achieved by a twofold method: abandoning the current state, and moving towards a higher level (see Sij\u00e1 of my father-in-law of holy memory, Pesach 5694).<\/p>\n
2. If the urgency to progress leads to discouragement and inertia, then it is the work of the Yetzer Hara (the evil inclination), which uses all means to prevent the Jew from carrying out his good intentions related to the Torah and the mitzvot.<\/p>\n
The treacherous and deceptive voice of the Yetzer Hara must be suppressed and ignored. Furthermore, as the Tanya states (Chapter 25), even a single act creates an eternal bond and communion with God (ibid., in detail). Therefore, the feeling of discouragement is not only inappropriate but also an obstacle to serving God, as explained in detail in the preceding and following chapters of the Tanya.<\/p>\n
3. Con respecto a la comprensi\u00f3n, o falta de comprensi\u00f3n de los tajles\u00bb, lo cosa importante que es requerida del jud\u00edo est\u00e1 dentro de las palabras de la Tor\u00e1: \u00abYa que la cosa es muy cercana a t\u00ed, en tu boca y en tu coraz\u00f3n (y el tajles es) hacerlo.\\\u00bb Comprender es, generalmente, el segundo paso. El primer paso es la pr\u00e1ctica de las Mitzvot. (Ver copia adjunta de mi mensaje al grupo de estudio).<\/p>\n
My wish for you, as you conclude in your letter, is that the next one you send will be more encouraging.<\/p>\n
