Daily Torah Quote

As physical beings, we “see” physical reality. On the other hand, Godliness and spirituality is only something that is “heard” — it can be discussed, perhaps even assimilated to some extent, but not experienced first hand.At the revelation at Sinai, we “saw what is ordinarily heard” — we experienced the Divine as an immediate, tangible reality. On the other hand, that which is ordinarily “seen” — the material world — was something merely “heard,” to be accepted or rejected at will. – The Lubavitcher Rebbe
