What Does a Kabbalist Pray For When There Is War in the World?
People ask me what a Kabbalist prays for when there is war in the world? A Kabbalist knows that the main war does not take place somewhere out in the world, but it is going through our hearts. So he prays for this war to disappear, for us to come to hate the hatred that separates us and to strive to unite as one person with one heart. That is how we emerge from this war.
The purpose of the war is to exalt the greatness of the Creator, to raise Him above all other goals and connections that each of us has. Only when the connection between us is revealed in our hearts can we be certain that we have won the battle against our evil inclination.
If the war is not only internal but also external, in the corporeal world, then it leaves us no other choice but to reveal a good relationship between us by finding out what prevents us from uniting as one person with one heart.
There are many forces are at work at every stage that distance us from one another and disrupt our connection. We must fight against them and seek forces that can help us come closer and unite, overcoming the forces of war.
Every force of war aims to divide us and separate us from one another. If a person is not connected to others, then he is entirely powerless, a complete zero. A person’s strength is the result of his connection with others. Once he exits this connection, he is left with nothing.
Therefore, we must constantly remember this and fight only for unity. If we truly want peace in the world, we must envision ourselves so tightly connected that this connection itself will awaken the Creator to reveal Himself between us.
In this way, we will gradually overcome all forces of separation until we ultimately discover that we are all connected with one another and the Creator is in the center of our unity.
