Prisoner to desire.

From a Shiur on Naaleh

Relating to Torah Leaders

Teacher: Rebbetzin Tziporah Heller


Rebbetzin Heller says that Rebbe Nachman says that anyone who is a prisoner to their desire for food is a liar. What does that mean? It means that if you are a baal teivah all that you can see is what you want, when you want it. That very much characterizes our lives. Anyone who can push on line, who can do any "normal" behavior that we often excuse, is not seeing the truth.

This is our goal, not to be a Baal Teivah. To see the truth, to admit to the truth, and to follow the truth.
