Bilivavi Mishkan Evneh

We all want the Beis Hamikdash but what we may not realize is that we already HAVE it.

The Nefesh Hachaim says that the human body parallels the Beis Hamikdash. Every part of the body corresponds to a different part of the Beis Hamikdash. The center of the Beis Hamikdash was the Kodesh Hakodshim. What is the central feature of the human body? The heart!! The heart is the holy of holies!!

So why don't we have a Beis Hamikdash? Due to hatred we felt in our heart [Yoma 9]. How will it be rebuilt? You got it...

So it all comes down to the heart. Hashem is indeed [ki'viyachol] a "Mevakesh Lev". He asks us to love each other in our hearts. When that is satisfactorily accomplished - we will see the Third Beis Hamikdash and the complete redemption!!

[Based on the sefer Siach Yisroel]

LOVE AND BLESSINGS - FROM THE HEART!!
