Words of Wisdom from our Tradition ...
For Rebbe Nachman, living in tune meant awareness - being aware of the
transient nature of this world and the eternity of the next.
From his window facing the marketplace Rebbe Nachman spotted one of
his followers rushing by.
"Have you looked up at the sky this morning?" the Rebbe asked.
"No, Rebbe, I haven't had the time."
"Believe me, in fifty years everything you see here will be gone. There will
be another fair - with other horses, other wagons, different people. I won't
be here then and neither will you. So what's so important that you don't
have time to look at the sky?"
"The Empty Chair, Finding Hope and Joy
Timeless Wisdom from a Hasidic Master
Rebbe Nachman of Breslov"
