Let's take a square frame, dip it in soap, and blow. What do we get? Not a square bubble, but a perfect sphere. Let's try a triangle, [music] a star, any shape. The bubble will always return to being round. Physics is amazing. A sphere is the shape with the smallest surface area, [music] and it's simply impossible to blow a distorted bubble. It will find its own way back to its pure form. And let's admit it, sometimes we feel like life has squeezed [music] us into a frame that isn't really us. Pressures, other people's expectations, molds we fit ourselves into until we no longer recognize ourselves. How did I get here? This isn't at all who I wanted [music] to be. It's the feeling that the world has distorted us into something foreign. Every morning we say an amazing phrase, "My God, the soul you have given me is pure." Within us is a pure soul, an original and perfect form, just like the bubble. Pressures can temporarily distort us, but the pure form is always there, waiting for us to return to it. Science has proven that the bubble always returns to its [music] perfect shape. The sages knew that the soul is always pure. The Holy One, blessed be he, did not give us a soul that can be distorted [music] forever. He gave us a form that we can always return to. Let's not allow frameworks to distort us. Let's return to the pure form.
