Attach Yourself

Attach yourself to the Creator with complete love. This must surpass your love of any worldly good, because everything is rooted in the Divine. Repeat the following statement: “I want to do God's will, to cause Him joy, and to worship Him without interruption.” Attach yourself to the Upper World – to the Divine…When you have an everyday need, remember that you are moving downward from the Upper World. Imagine that you are like a person who leaves his home, but wants to return as soon as possible. As this person journeys, he is constantly asking himself, “When will I return home?” You, too, must constantly think of returning to the Upper World. Remember: your true home is with the blessed Creator.
