Listened to Monday’s chassidus. Wow, wow!!!
When I live in a state of bitul, there is only one question to ask every morning when I wake up:
God show me where you need me to express and shine my infinite light today? And then remain present and open for that guidance. When we live with that perspective of bitul we have entered into conversation with the Divine.
When I live enslaved by my will then the questions about how to conquer each new day are infinite and the clashes between my will and God’s plans for me causes so much untold suffering. I see life through the lens of the survival of the fittest....
What a painful existence to have to take on the world every morning.....When I’m not aligned with Infinity, I feel abandoned in a wrestling match against the Universe. My life is then filled with fear, anxieties, jealousy and a whole other hosts of pains.I often remain a bottomless pit of unfulfilled needs, wants and frustrations.....
How liberating to wake up in the morning with only one question......

If one would think about the source of his 'yeshus' that is comes from the fact that he is similar to the light of the divine it would help lead him to bitul that the only way to be truly similar to the divine is by removing this yeshus which disrupts his true connection to the divine.

Question for Rabbi YY
Bittel sounds like a good place to be. Why is it sometimes described in negative terms . Or am I misunderstanding?

  bittul sometimes needs one eighth of an eighth of yeshus, ego.

If the or keseder has to come on to the ratzon of hashem doesn't that mean it does not intrinsictly exist because his ratzon could make it stop?
