I don’t understand the first paragraph very well. If looking at an object brings greater vitality to the object, then why does it become cut off from its divine root and vitality once you look away? Do things not really exist unless we acknowledge their existence?
“I will teach you the best way to say Torah. You must be nothing but an ear that hears what the universe of the word if constantly saying within you. The moment you begin to hear what you yourself are saying, you must stop.” I think what he is trying to say is that the Torah is meant to be accepted as it stands, without interpretation or rationalization. You can’t reject the parts you don’t understand and only accept the parts you do understand. Otherwise, everyone would have their own interpretation of the Torah. It would no longer be God’s word.
“As it is said in the Talmud: ‘Greater than the first miracle is the last.’” It’s a wonderful thing that God did indeed create heaven and earth out of nothing. But the fact that we can actually realize that God, through His purpose, created everything from nothing; that is the real miracle.
