Description
p. 232. Even when we have the right kavanos (intentions) in eating, it could be that we are still eating out of taiva (to satisfy desire). It is impossible to live in this world without physical pleasure and only spiritual pleasure. Hashem wants us to eat on Shabbos, to have oneg (delight), even if we do not want to eat. The struggle is not whether to run away from the world or not, it is how much we bring Hashem into our life in this world. If we focus on the mitzvah of oneg Shabbos, we could end up having more of taiva for food during the week. Everything we do in this world is about making the shikul (weighing out) between this world and the next.
