Truth is high, but higher still is living it. – Guru Nanak

I love these words of Guru Nanak, the 15th century founder of Sikhism.

(Do I need to write anything more?)

Spiritual-religious advice for this week and all time: Go and live the truth!

All right, I could write a little more. . .

I could write how ideals without corresponding action are meaningless.

I
could give poignant examples from the Bible and history when innocent
people suffered because of the lack of action of people who knew better.

I could quote from Jewish and Christian sources parallels to Guru Nanak’s words.

But, what is the point?

The point is ACTION, not words.

So, please, please, GO AND LIVE YOUR VALUES.

Truth is high, but higher still is living it. – Guru Nanak

 

With love,



Rabbi Brian

A Big Ask

Beloved, What I’m about to ask is a very big ask. You (probably) aren’t going to want to do it. But I’m still going to ask. Because it’s important. Very important. Stop hating.   ✧✧✧   “No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to
