Description
p. 52 Ahava (love), the root cause to do chassadim (acts of kindness). Selfless chessed (kindness), for no other reason than to be kind. Wanting to perform acts of kindness, first use the mind to determine what is needed. Chassidus (devoutness) is not something that is cold, efficient, but heartless - both the heart and the mind are required. Chassidus begins in the heart because it begins with love. It is not possible to bring children closer to Hashem by frightening them. Proper prioritization in avodas Hashem (divine service) as well as in the physical world. Giving the drunk a dollar or giving him breakfast. What does Hashem want from me at this moment? Even chessed stemming from ahava must be processed through the seichel (mind / common sense)
