Short Story: God, and the Individual Soul

Tweet

Rabbi Anton Breeshkev, was giving a discourse to his Torah students on God, and the individual soul. Here is how he put across his thoughts to his students, on this topic: "God is one great oneness, and yet, he works with each one of us, individually so." "God wants us to keep our individuality, but at the same time to work together as one too." "When we keep our lives focussed on God, differences add into God, and a collective sharing of ourselves in our uniqueness, is then felt by all parties in this sharing." "We all possess our own intellectual makeups, and personality styles." "Our emotions are felt in our own ways, and we all possess certain individualised character traits too." "Why did God create individualised unique souls?" "Love is a great energy, but to feel its truths individually, God created different souls to understand truth from different angles, so understanding could be more complete, and God's creation could be wise in God's wisdom too." "Oneness meets itself in infinite ways and love springs forth from each part as a new wisdom slant of truth living itself alive, through life." "Oneness expresses, and experiences its love loving through the individualised parts of its creation loving." "Oneness does not separate itself from its creation, and yet it allows its creation to feel separate from it, but when creation, reconnects to God, via a conscious decision to do so, it lifts itself from just being an individual to being a connected part of God, once again." "The uniqueness of everything is appreciated only when a soul sees that part of everything's connection to the whole." "We retain our individuality even as we embrace God in our differing ways, without causing any frictions between the parts, or disunity amongst the parts, either." "Ok," the Rabbi then said, "That is enough discussion for today."
