There is no neutral. There is no having
arrived. There is no apathy,
complacency. You have to be in a

from
the just like when it comes to the
physical world, one can't be in neutral.
There's a gravitational pole. If you
want to lift something, if you want to
make it go higher, you have to oppose
the force of gravity. So too in the
spiritual world, but there's a force.
Olamhaza is pulling us down. Theahara is
pulling us down. Gravity in the physical
world and gravity in the spiritual world
is pulling us down. And how do we oppose
it? You have to fight the force of
gravity. You have to lift. You have to
lift. And how do you lift? You have to
engage your muscles. When something is
heavy, the more significant the heavier
it is, the more muscle you have to
engage. What does it take? What does it
require? A less effort.
