Short Story: The parts of a man

Tweet

Rabbi, Gustev Rimonski, was discussing the various parts of a man, with his students. Here is what he said: "Man is a multifaceted creation of God." "Man has a body, which includes, a physical body, an emotional body, a mental body." "A man lives within his physical body, emotes through his emotional body, and thinks with, or though, his mental body." "On top of this though, man has a soul, and he also has an essence, or an innate nature about him too." "Your essence is the essentiality of the God part in you, which is God in you, whereas your soul is your part of God, that is you, in God, so to speak. A subtle difference." "Your essence is God's love in you, or his light, lighting you up as you." "Our soul provides impetus, energy, purpose, to our lives, but the real power, which creates this power is our essence, which allows God to be energetically alive within us, lighting us up with his God part of us, being us, our soul can then step up to God, and be the part of God that he created it to be for him, acting as his servant, within his creation." "We need to serve God, and fulfil his will for our lives, through our utilising our own unique gifts. We are to live from our essence, the love within us which generates the power, working through our soul, mind, body, and all of who we are, to fully live a fully life of love for God here in our life." "The Greek Philosopher, Aristotle (384 to 322 BC), described life like this:" '"The energy of the mind is the essence of life."' "Now, all things could be said to carry a sense of their essence, their inherent purity within themselves." "Music's essence touches us when we listen to a particular touching piece." "But the essence of man, is an essence that sits above these other essences, as it is likened unto it being a generator of energy, love, and light, in us, a generator powered in us by God." And so ended the Rabbi's lesson to his students for that day.
