Daily Kabbalah Tune Up: The Inner Point

Wednesday, July 9

We're always going to see what's wrong with people. That's easy. But it's not so easy to penetrate into the heart of what is good about a person.

The great 20th century kabbalist Rav Yehuda Brandwein taught his students to look for the inner point within a person; to see beyond the external and into the soul. He would often say, "Do not look at the container, but at what is in it."

Today, when you're in a meeting or at the checkout line or sitting at dinner with a friend or staring in the mirror, look for the good within the person facing you. See the beauty and Godliness within . Find the positive — it's there if you look hard enough.
