"Blessings from Above only come down to earth when there is some ready vessel to capture it, not just emptiness below." -Zohar Gen 88a
Remember the joke of the man who incesantly complains that he needs to win the lottery? Day after day he brings his complaint to the Lord until finally exasperated, Heaven opens up and demands," Give Me a break! At least buy a ticket!"
The same is true for buisness, love, and even a prayerful relationship to the Almighty. Before results come we must first invest energy into our goal.
God seeks humanity. He looks for a willing partner. He looks for us.
Empty me of vain gestures and meaningless pursuits. Let me be still before the open Heavens. In humility and awe I seek You. Bless me, Avinu.
