Deuteronomy 6:4, “Love YHVH your Elohim with
all of our heart, all of our soul, and all of our might.”
This is one of two passages considered to be the core of the
Torah. This verse is speaking of our relationship
with the Creator. We are to love, which
means we are to give. Our ego is to be
transformed from self-centered receiving to an altruistic giving,
which is the same nature as the Creator. We are to give over our heart to the
Creator’s desire, meaning taking on the Creator’s desires as our own. The heart is the sum total of our desires.
The Hebrew word for soul, used here, is the lowest
level of the soul. This is where our soul interfaces with and is
compromised through the influence of the world.
This soul is also to be turned over to the desire of the Creator.
Finally, with all our might, our actions should be those for
the betterment of the Creator via advancement of the Creator’s desire within
our world. Our actions are to reflect
our changed nature.
When we apply this verse we start experiencing the
equivalence of form.
