Elul 4
These are some of my favorite quotes from Rabbi Simon Jacobson, gleaned from his essay “The Truth Within,” for the fourth day of Elul.
ON RELIGION AND FREEDOM: If your experience of religion is not freeing, then you have fallen into a man-made trap. Freedom is Divine; it cannot be human.
ON TRUTH: The truth resonates. When we hear it, we know.
ON TEACHING: Great masters or teachers can’t give us anything we don’t already possess; they can help in one thing only — to open our own pathway to the truth within.
