Daily Thought
Esau
said, “I have a lot.”
Jacob
said, “I have all.” As in “all I need.”
Esau
had a family of six. They were called “six souls.”
Plural.
Jacob
had a family of seventy. They were called “seventy soul.” Singular.
Esau
lived in a granular, tossed-together, fragmented world in which he collected a
lot of things and many people. A noisy world.
Jacob
lived in a universe, a singular whole, in which all he encountered was only
another manifestation of an essential oneness. Wherever he was, he had
everything.
And
you? Do you have many things? Or do you have much light? Maamar Hechaltzu 5659, chapter 3.
