Sayings of the Baal Shem-Tov

The Besht commented on the
phrase: "Our God and God of our
Fathers." He said: "Some persons
have faith because their fathers
taught them to believe. In one
sense, this is satisfactory: no philo-
sophical axioms will break their
belief; in another, it is unsatisfac-
tory, since their belief does not

"Others come to belief through whose beliefs are satisfactory in

other students demonstrate to the God of our Fathers.' The Lord

know He is our God, and because
they may become unbelievers.
our fathers have taught us that
He is God."

A father complained to the Besht
that his son had forsaken God.
"What, Rabbi, shall I do?"
"Love him more than ever,"
was the Besht's reply.

The Besht commented on the
verse: "As in the water face an-
swereth to face, so the heart of
man to man" (Proverbs 27:19).
He said: "When a man stands up-
right near the water, his shadow
is reflected in enlarged form. But
when he bends down his reflection
is smaller in size. In like manner,
when one man looks upon another
with pride, the other is also
prompted to a feeling of proud
aloofness. When, however, a man
is meek in his relationship with
another man, the latter likewise
feels friendship and goodwill to-
ward him."

"Why does the Bible relate the
wrongdoings of good men?" the
Besht was asked. "Would it not '
encourage righteousness to teach
that good men are invariably
good?"
The Besht answered: "If the
Bible failed to indicate the few
sins of its heroes, we might doubt
their goodness. Let me explain this
by the following fable:
"'A lion taught his cubs that
they need fear no living creature,
since they were the strongest on
earth. One day the cubs went for
a walk and came upon a ruin. They
entered and saw on the wall of the
deserted castle a picture of Samson
breaking in twain a lion cub. In
fright they ran to their father, cry- ,
ing out: "We have seen a creature
stronger than ourselves and we are
in fear of him.' The old lion ques-
tioned them, and on learning what
they had seen in the ruin, he said:
"This picture ought assure you
that the race of lions is the strong-
est of creatures, for when once a
stronger creature appears, it is
pictured as a miracle. Exceptions
prove the rule.'"

"A farmer held an egg in his
hand, and mused: 'I shall place this
egg under a hen; I shall raise up
the chick and it shall hatch other
chicks; I will sell them, and pur-
chase a cow and . . .' While plan-
ning thus, he squeezed the egg and
it broke in his fingers.
"In the same fashion some peo-
ple are satisfied with the sum of
holines and knowledge they have
attained, and think constantly that
they are superior to others. But
they do not perceive that by doing
this they lose even the little they
have attained."

A king was told that a man of
humility is endowed with long life.
He attired himself in old garments,
took up his residence in a small
hut, and forbade anyone to show
reverence before him. But when
he honestly .examined himself, the
king found himself to be prouder
of his seeming humility than ever
before. A philosopher thereupon
remarked to him: "Dress like a

however, weeping comes through
joy, then is it an exceeding great
g ood... .
Therefore let a man desist from
anxiety as to his conduct. . .. Let
him not yield overmuch to para-
lyzing grief. Let him indeed sigh
for his sin, but then let him turn
again in joy to the Creator, blessed
be He!
