Collections: R' Shvat Ain Aya- Rav Kook's commentary on the Aggadeta of Masechet Shabbat

Description

Rav Kook in his commentary on the aggadeta, Ain Aya, explains that there is no way to pretend and hide one's shortcomings and be an "imposter", for they eventually will be exposed and revealed, at least through Freudian slips. The solution is to focus, not on the faחade, and not on the hidden self, but rather on improving my real inner self. This is how real tshuva actually turns one's purposeful sins into benefits. (Ayn Aya, Shabbat ii, 232)
