Alright sweet beloved friend. You may have heard in the news that Iran had this nuke factory buried so far underground, only a bunker buster could reach it.
There's this other evil that's way down deep, but no one there has the power to root it out. They need someone else to come along and drop a 30,000-pound bomb on it.
Sound familiar?
You might want to see a bomb wipe out buried nuclear sites, but let me ask you: What מדות רעות have you buried deep in your heart that you need to drop a bunker buster on? What are the יצר הרע's that you have that need a 30,000-pound spiritual explosive to blow up? קנאה, שנאה, תאוה, אהבת ממון and the list goes on and onnnnnn.
We all have sin patterns buried way underneath the ground of our souls, and much like highly enriched uranium, they have the power to cause damage to everyone around us. Maybe we need a bombing run on our hearts!
When you see that B-2 stealth bomber flying over Tehran, think about the sneaky יצר הרע that hides in all of our hearts. Chazal say one of his 7 names is צפוני b/c he is צפון [hidden] in our hearts.
But WAIT!!! We don't need to blow it up!!! There is a BETTER WAY!!!
That is - see how all of your מדות רעות can be transformed and harnessed into מדות טובות!!! We have these מדות for a reason. To serve Hashem with them!!!
There is but ONE way to go about this: A SERIOUS program of לימוד המוסר. It is not enough to read ספרי מוסר. One has to know HOW to read ספרי מוסר.
והדברים ארוכים!!
