The higher goal of spiritual living is not to amass a wealth of information, but to face sacred moments

Abraham Joshua Heschel, a renowned Jewish theologian and philosopher, believed that the ultimate goal of spiritual living is not simply to accumulate knowledge or information, but rather to experience and embrace sacred moments. Heschel emphasized the importance of connecting with the divine and finding meaning in the everyday moments of life.

For Heschel, spirituality was not about intellectual pursuits or academic achievements, but about cultivating a deep and personal relationship with the sacred. He believed that true spiritual growth comes from being present in the moment and recognizing the divine presence in all aspects of life. Heschel often spoke about the importance of living with a sense of wonder and awe, and approaching each moment with a sense of reverence and gratitude.

In his book "God in Search of Man," Heschel writes, "The primary purpose of prayer is not to make requests. The primary purpose is to praise, to sing, to chant. Because the essence of prayer is a song, and man cannot live without a song. Prayer may not save us, but prayer may make us worthy of being saved."

Heschel's teachings remind us that spirituality is not about seeking answers or accumulating knowledge, but about opening our hearts and minds to the sacred moments that surround us. It is about finding beauty and meaning in the world around us, and recognizing the divine presence in all things.
