Your fellow man is your mirror. If your own face is clean, the image you perceive will also be flawless. But should you look upon your fellow man and see a blemish, it is your own imperfection that you are encountering - you are being shown what it is that you must correct within yourself.
Israel ben Eliezer -
He who is full of joy is full of love.

Before you can find God, you must lose yourself.
Israel ben Eliezer -
We should not laugh at the person who becoming caught up in his prayer bends his body or moves about in strange ways. Perhaps he moves in this manner to wave off unwelcome thoughts that would interrupt the prayer. Would we find it funny if we saw a person drowning going through strange motions doing whatever was necessary to save his life?
Israel ben Eliezer -
The world is new to us every morning - and every man should believe he is reborn each day
Israel ben Eliezer -
The central aspect of worship is the feeling of being at one with God.
Israel ben Eliezer -
Everything above and below is one unity.
Israel ben Eliezer
