How do we accomplish our purpose in life?





SimchaMinute

A quotation-a-day by Rabbi Avigdor Miller

A person’s purpose in life is to mold his character. He does this by going against the passions, the instincts that motivate all men. He puts his saichel (reason) in control. Of course when we talk about saichel for the servants of Hashem, it means the saichel of the Torah.

Saichel without Torah is a self-deception. Saichel with Torah means a person is going against his passions. — Perfection in Marriage

Chovos Halevavos has become the foundation for Jews in their service of Hashem. Great Torah luminaries, e.g. Rabbi Yosef Karo, Rabbi Yitzchak Luria, the Vilna Gaon and Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk immersed themselves in the sefer and encouraged others to do likewise. Simchas Hachaim Publishing is publishing Chovos Halevavos with Rabbi Avigdor Miller’s insights.
