We come to Earth to perfect our souls. Everyone alive probably has been here in previous incarnations. The part of us that has been perfected in previous lives is in heaven. What is left on Earth is the last of our soul makeup to be perfected. We are all Tzadikim, but not necessarily visible on Earth. We will be in the time of Moshiach and beyond, Olam Habah, when the Yetzer Harah has been removed. It is brought down that each generation is of a lower spiritual stature and that is the reason. You reminded me of a quote from HaGaon HaRav Moshe Feinstein, zt"l. When he was asked "are you aware that you are an Adom Gadol?" He answered "compared to my predecessors in previous generations, I am nothing."<br /><br />One other comment is that in every generation we have 36 Tzadikim Nistarim (hidden righteous ones). Their level of perfection exists, but would be just that, hidden. A Tzadik that appears totally perfect or even says he is, probably isn't at all.<br /><br />Nice to hear from you, Joshua.The Absolute Truthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060786380470453883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170726902683483449.post-79502763221971964692015-01-02T04:08:35.585+02:002015-01-02T04:08:35.585+02:00Absolutely.

But, we do not understand His ways as we see and also know from reading of our great Sages and holy Tzadikim that many of them suffered. We also know many wicked people have led and do lead the 'good life'. It's just they are getting their reward here in this world, for whatever reason HE sees reason for. The righteous will get their reward in the World to Come. Reasons by H' are hidden from us and is for the best. We pray and try to do tshuva and He will surely answer - when, why and how, we do not know, but will be answered and to our good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-170726902683483449.post-81787139535985121492014-12-31T17:19:12.948+02:002014-12-31T17:19:12.948+02:00A Jew knows when he is doing the right thing, if ...A Jew knows when he is doing the right thing, if he is on the right derech - if he is honestly applying himself in regard to Hashem's formula. There is a feeling one gets when doing the right thing and another when he does not follow Hashem properly. The tests come and we react.The soul responds. This constricted feeling, this defensiveness - ultimately the shame is from receiving such Good when we know we do not deserve it. We don't stop fighting The Program. We don't surrender with faith knowing this is the path of Truth. Instead we rebel like a surly teenager when asked to take the garbage out - l'havdil. The greatest suffering, the deepest, long lasting pain will be the shame we will suffer when we realize the Truth when it is too late to do anything about it. The time we wasted on meaningless pursuits that resulted in distracting us from our true and ultimate goal. Eternal shame..this is what our nonsense will reap and our soul will grieve for eternity when we realize we did it to our selves. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
