 Blessed is the one who chooses to belong to reality - A special & important letter by the famous Mashgiach Rabbi Eliyohu Eliezer Dessler Zt"l.

"Yehi ratzon that you will merit to see much Nachas from him & his brother, they will follow the path of the Torah and the Mitzva according to the will of our Father in Heaven.

What more can be achieved than that? And what else is there in life besides this? What pleasure and goodness belong in less than that? He is one and his will is one and there is no reality other than him and his will. Blessed is the one who chooses to belong to reality, and there is no room for obtaining other than imaginary illusions. Adam Harishon, before the sin only knew truth and lies, that truth is reality, and lies are nothing and do not exist (Rambam Morah).

I came to bless, and my thoughts moved to other worlds, I will return to the world of blessings. Hashem should bless them with great happiness until they will be full of Bracha, and they will enjoy and be content with their descendants as God's good hand is upon them.

And may we all be granted a complete redemption, the inner redemption that is received from the light of His face, because honor will dwell within us at the coming of the Holy Spirit in our own days Amen"
