The Kotzker Rebbe is famous for his powerful and penetrating quotes. He once said to is talmidim
“מי שאינו רואה את המקום (ה’) בכל מקום, אינו רואה בשום מקום” – “He who doesn’t see hamokom (Hashem) everywhere isn’t capable of seeing anywhere”
The Kotzke Rebbe is teaching us a deep life-changing lesson. If a person doesn’t see Hashem (Hamokom) everywhere then he really isn’t seeing anything.
Life is full of challenges, though we know that Hashem only gives us challenges that we can overcome. If we keep this message in mind at all times, we shall have the strength to deal with all the challenges that come our way, knowing that Hashem is right there with us in every challenge.
Now we have a different understanding of what it means to “see”!
