​What Is Your Deepest Desire?

All the things we desire in life are only substitutes for the true and fundamental desire. "L’shimcha u’l’zichricha taavas nefesh": the desire of the soul is for Your name and for the thought of You. We desire to see Your name in the world, we desire to see evidences of You, proofs of You, of Your wisdom in the world and Your kindliness. That’s the fundamental desire of the human soul. Only people don’t know about it. — True Happiness (#685)
