Today I read this from the Zohar (Beresheet B, section 32): “Desire is the vital component and engine which draws the Light. Without desire, the Light remains in a state of potential. Actions alone are not enough to arouse and draw the Light.” This reminded me of one of the most important lessons my father has taught me. When you help another person, do not do it for the worldly acknowledgement that you can get, and do not tell the whole world of the kindness you showed to another person. The world does not owe you anything. You owe God everything.
Why do you do good?
