“God is the shadow of man” was commented upon by the Baal Shem Tov as follows: Just as a shadow follows the gestures and motions of the body, God follows those of the soul. If a person is charitable, God will be charitable too. The name of a person’s secret is God and the name of God’s secret is none other than the one invented by humanity, love. Who loves, loves God.
“To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.” John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent. Life teaches many lessons. Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied. Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
