“Without any Signs or Indicators!” p:2


AyinBase / Ayin Beis with R' Paltiel Friday 8 Tevet 5773

Anochi has no definitions. It is Him Himself.

So the mitzvah of tshuvah/return comes from a different source.

There is a mashal/metaphor from the Baal Shem Tov. It tells of a prince who was sent on a long journey. The prince landed up integrating with lowly people, and losing his regal bearing and character. Eventually he made it back to his farther's palace. The guards would not give him access. And he had no way to give them any sign that he is the prince. But then he screams from the depths of his heart. This was recognized by the king, not by virtue of any message, but just by the sound.


This is like tshuvah/return. It comes from Him Himself, and He doesn't want to lose His people under any circumstances and thus He comes down to a level where He can recognize them and they can recognize Him without any signs or indicators!

'To you my heart says, my inner self is seeking you'. This means from the depths that are beyond relating to the outside... the depths of the entity unto itself...
