At the last minute

by Digital Maggid

משה רבינו האט געבענטשט די אידן, אז יעדער זאל כאטש זײַן אן “איש האלקים לפני מותו” — אין די לעצטע מינוטן פון לעבן זאל א איד קענען זיך באהעפטן אין השי”ת. (אור צדיקים)

Moshe Rabeinu (our teacher) blessed the Jews that everyone should be an “ish ha’elokim lifnei moso” (man of G-d before his death) — in the last moments of life, a Jew should know himself to be joined with Gd.
(Ohr Tzadikim)

Knowing this in the last moments of life is indeed a blessing. But how much bigger a blessing to know it all along. We are always joined, whether we realize it or not. How much better could life be if we stopped to know it now and not only at the last minute?
