Anava is Like the Earth

ענוה / humility
is a protection
from immorality.‎

גאוה / pride
leads to
immorality.

-Rabbi Nachman

Emulate H-Shem with
Humility & Vulnerability

When you’re feeling proud
about something you’ve done…
Are you taking credit?
Are you doing ANYTHING on your own?
talent … inspiriation… ideas … insights...

Remember
Its all H-shem
Ayn Od Milvado
He created you
with the ability to be creative
to reveal HIS light.

What happened with all the competitions?
The best toys, best grades, greenest grass, biggest house, nicest car,
best speaker, expensive wardrobe, highest position,
largest diamond, best body, most lavish event...?
Those who appear so strong
in reality, can be the weakest.

Real Strength…
does’t come from winning
doesn’t come from CONTROLLING

Real Gevura...
allows you to become a
PARTICIPANT in something
Much LARGER than yourself!

What appears to
make us weaker,
diminished,
With Emunah
Actually makes us stronger

Leave the race.
Leave the kavod
Let go of your “I” / anochius / ego
Make room for
the strongest force
The light of the Shechina
By Emulating
the Midda of H-shem’s Keter
ANAVA ענוה

HUMILITY
is accepting /
to be mekabel
your true self
which creates space
in your consciousness
to accept and respect others
because
you don’t feel like you have to
COMPETE FOR YOUR PLACE

When you are humble
you are like earth
Fruitful and nourishing
Creative

The earth
Has a gravitational pull
The law of attraction

If you demand attention
Attempting to maintain your
Kavod of being above
then others feel small
around you.
diminished.

They can not grow around you
and will run away

Instead
Remain low.
Being lowly
has the opposite effect
with Anava / lowliness
others feel
unique and important
in your presence

Plants grow
from the depths of the
earth.

Be like the earth!
Water your soul
with Humility
to receive H’s Light
Help strengthen
the roots of others
Help them grow tall
Plant a garden!

Fertilize it with
leaning Torah together
Hold your inner malkchus
Be generous
Spark creativity

Have the courage to be vulnerable
Share your vulnerability with others
Find multiple teachers and mentors
Connect with others; hiskashrus
Create relationships; hiskallelus

You don’t become diminished
when others rise
Just the opposite
The earth is
in the process
Of producing life
Like a mothers womb
Be like the earth,
become PARTNERS
IN CREATION

With Achdus
YOU BECOME MORE
Make your self
low like the earth
gain the capacity
for elevated vision
and expansive growth

Can you be in higher Daas
when you’re so busy
trying to show everyone
what you know?

Choose humility
Make the choice
to go against your first nature /
teva rishon
Choose flexibility
discover the new possibilities
within your self
Create
your teva sheni
your second nature

Reveal your G-dly soul
Your nefesh Elokis

Toil the
the earth
Within

if I am ayin / nothing
And it’s all H-Shem
then I am liberated
I am freed from the shackles of
Feeling enslaved by my ego/ my story

I am freed from having to pretend
Free to see, hear, learn and stretch
Without fear of being judged
Free to BE
IN THE MOMENT.

To experience my true nature / teva sheni
To breath my inner truth
My story
Becomes irrelevant

The security of
living in your story
Was a dimyon / a false image
and by letting it go
it frees you

your inner resilience
frees you
And creates inner space
because it was filled with
Being occupied
With raising to the top
and getting acceptance

Emulate H-Shem with
humility and vulnerability 💞
