Description

p. 90. The difference between gadlus (greatness) - which is absolute, not compared to anything else - and romemus (exaltedness) which is relative greatness. What do these terms mean when applied to Hashem; and to me, as compared to Hashem? Revealing the greatness of Hashem, and, in comparison to Hashem, our own personal smallness. The screen that blocks our view and feeling of Hashem. Thinking about Hashem's greatness and thus enlarging it in our feeling and understanding. Recognizing the truth of how we live our lives, covered by impenetrable screens. Our task is to reduce the size of the screen. Enlarging Hashem and shrinking myself. Gadlus - Hashem's absolute and infinite greatness. Recognizing another person's greatness.
