What Really Bothers Hashem | Rabbi YY Jacobson

What bothers Hashem more than anything else is to be disconnected from somebody that he loves so much. To watch somebody who is so powerful to disconnect themselves from their own infinite potential. So, what concerns Hashem is not the punishment, it's the actual sin itself that you should be disconnected, that you should be in a state of illness, in a state of despondency, of depression, of negativity, of something in which you're misaligned with your true potential source of which you are essentially a reflection. The word mitzvah means commandment, but the word mitzvah in Hebrew comes from the word savsa, which means connection. And the word avera means over, like he or she extracts themselves from the domain of infinity and I go into a place in which I am much more small and stuck. I don't recognize who I am. That's the deepest fear. So, what is real yirah shamayim? I'm afraid to lose such a powerful relationship. This relationship is too good. It's too meaningful. It's too inspiring to allow it to disintegrate.
