Machshava:

Teshuva 

Collections: Rabbi Weinberger: Oros Ha'teshuvah

Description

The greater we become, the more our neshama (soul) is revealed, the more powerful it's light shines, and the more apparent our flaws become. As a result of our neshama being enlightened, teshuvah becomes a way of life. Teshuvah is not meant to embitter our life but in actuality it makes our life more pleasant. Pleasant does not mean easy. We must be careful not to get stuck in the bitter waves of the initial steps of teshuvah. If we do not taste bitterness than we will not experience true joy.
