Daily Thought

The present state of the world is called "gola". The state of the world as it will soon be is called "geula". The two words are exactly the same, except that “geula” has the letter "alef" inserted in the middle. “Alef” means “master”. It also means “one”.

To make gola into geula, we only need reveal the alef— the One Master of the Universe who is hidden within the artifacts of our present world.

When the Messiah comes, will people have free choice? Print E-mail
Ask Moses   
Yes. People will have the ability to choose between Good and Better, rather than between Good and Evil. The difference between these two sets is that in the first, we have a choice to improve or stay the same, to nurture specific talents we have or leave them be, and so on. In the second, the choices are whether to improve or deteriorate, or to use a talent for good things or bad things.

There will be no temptation to do evil, as we will no longer have the inclination towards evil within us; however, we will have the ability of pushing ourselves to the limits or not. In the Messianic Era, “choice” will mean how high we want to soar, how much we want to accomplish. It’s not that we will always want to do good—we won't want to do anything bad. But how much good we do will be our choice.
