Just Passing By
By peace | April 12, 2006
In the last century a tourist visited the famous polish rabbi Hofetz Chaim. He was astonished to see the rabbi’s house consisted simply of a room crammed with books. The only furniture was a table and a bench.
“Rabbi, where is your furniture?” asked the tourist.
“Where is yours? ” asked Hofetz.
“Mine? I am only a visitor… I am here just passing by.”
“Same with me.” said the wise rabbi.
Detachment is a quality of those that know we are here passing by and who are free without clinging to things. If you appreciate more the inner riches that the exterior ones you live simply and live deeply. We are pilgrims. We advance much more when we walk light of luggage.
