Short story: A Rabbi explains about our true nature

Tweet

Rabbi Derdeth Kollaski, had been asked by a student of his, what exactly was our nature, our spiritual nature, not our human nature. Here is how he answered the lad. '"The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves."' "Swami Vivekananda, (1863 to 1902) a great Indian spiritual figure said this." "What is our nature though, and how can we be true, to something that is presumably growing, and changing too?" "Your nature is not what you think that it is, as it is not your personality, your mind, or your thoughts, which are mere trappings to that which your essential nature is. In fact, your nature is your soul, your unique soul, fashioned for you by God with love, and with certain innate gifts, and ways unique to itself. '"All truth is eternal. Truth is nobody’s property; no race, no individual can lay any exclusive claim to it. Truth is the nature of all souls."' "Swami Vivekananda, said this too." "As we can see here, the Swami agreed with this, as he thought that our soul's nature was truth, and our soul is made of truth, love, and essentially of God. It is a spark of God, in your body." "Now, our human nature is common to each one of us, and is our way of thinking, feeling, and behaving, which shape our personality into broad spectrums, such as whether we tend to be extroverts, introverts, trusting, calculating, peaceful, or angry types." "Our spiritual nature is something else again, though." "It is not just our beliefs, as it is greater than any belief. It is the seed of who you are, and from which you should grow from, when you live from love, and your heart guides you forwards in this growth. It is the root of your very being." "You can connect to your spiritual nature, by being still enough to hear its voice, as it's your spirit talking to you through your soul." "Our spirit is the energy of love within us. Our soul is the spark of God, love's engine working with its fuel, your spirit, as well as working also with God's spirit, which is always coming into it too." "Think over what I have said, and come back to me tomorrow, with any questions that you might have," he said to his student, and concluded his talking for that night.
