I want the impossible. It's Wednesday 3:41pm, I want to feel the significance of all I do in my entire life in this moment. I want to work on every detail with the motivation that comes from the entire project.
I want the infinite in the finite.
Fortunately it can be done. In fact, it is the point of all of the Torah. The Torah is all about connecting with Hashem's infinite light trough a specific, limited, detailed Mitzvah.
The Torah is not about being spiritual via connecting to the infinite. It's much more revolutionary; it's about shattering the barrier between finite and infinite.
When Moshe spoke to the Jewish people, at the plains of Moab at the bank of the Jordan, he said: "May the L-rd G-d of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as you are"; a defined blessing, one thousand. "and bless you as he has promised you"; an undefined blessing, for Hashem’s blessing to Abraham was that no man will be able to count his descendants.
Moshe was saying the undefined blessing is not enough; we need defined blessing. Because one thousand is not limiting the infinite blessing, it's bringing the infinite to our finite reality.
