Which Book Suits Everyone Who Reads It? 5 Points to Ponder

"Openings, Openings..."

The Creator fashioned for us a perfect body. Everything is meticulously planned and precise. If so, why did the Creator design humans in a way that requires them to relieve themselves? Seemingly, this limits the individual.

The answer is simple - to teach us humility and modesty. To make us understand our limitations ultimately. A person might boast about how important and great they are, and then suddenly they have to find a place to be alone and observe the waste departing their body. Suddenly, they realize they are not "Hashem", they are not omnipotent, and they are still part of the material and limited world.

Moreover, those who seek to see the hand of Hashem, the divine providence, see that the Creator not only created man and provided him with all his needs but also considered the person's feelings so as not to make themselves detestable in their own eyes. Note - all the openings of the human body are at the front: the eyes, nostrils, and mouth. The ears, though on the sides, also tend forward. However, the only opening meant solely for expelling waste, which is directed backward, is the opening at the bottom of our bodies.

And why? So that a person does not become disgusted with themselves. So they don't feel revulsion when they see what comes out of them. They don't see, and they expel waste without seeing it as it exits. This is also a kindness the Creator did for humanity.

A person must know that even if they reach high positions, gain wealth, money, and status - they should remember their place, that they are still material and limited humans dependent on the Creator, and without Him, they have no existence.

How much must we thank the Creator. Without the opening and the waste disposal system accumulated in our bodies, we could not exist for even a second! Thank you, Creator!

A Universal Book

Anyone who visits a bookstore will find a variety of books, for instance, books for early childhood, teens, adults; books for sci-fi enthusiasts, science books, thrillers, poetry books, comedy books, and more.

Every book in the bookstore is intended for a specific target audience. Logical. It seems there is no bookstore anywhere in the world with a book meant for reading that suits all audiences. There is no one book in the world that the diverse people of the world can find interest in and express awe over. Old or young, learned or not, male or female, religious or secular...

Wait....actually, there is one such book in the entire world. What is it? The Bible!

The Bible is the only book on earth that you can give to a child in first grade, teach it to them, and they will read and enjoy its verses, and give it to a 70-year-old genius, knowledgeable in many wisdoms, and tell him to read and he will delve, research, and be fascinated by its verses!

Is there another book in the world where both a 6-year-old child and a 70-year-old adult can find interest in reading it for enjoyment?

After all, if we take a book suitable for a first-grade child and give it to a professor, a scientist at age 70, and say "read this book," he will say: "What do I have to do with this? It is suitable for a first-grade child!" And if you take a science book suitable for a 70-year-old professor, and give it to a first-grade child to read, it will be like Chinese to him; the child has nothing to do with this book!

Behold the great wonder. Compared to all the books in the world, the Bible is the only book in the world suitable for anyone, at any level, and at any age. Everyone, whoever they are, can find interest in it. Wait, and how can it be that the Bible fits all people in the world, all ages in the world, and all religions in the world? Very simply, because it is a divine book given by the Creator of man to His creations, knowing all His creations, therefore this book succeeds in "touching" each and every one of us...

Darkness for Half a Year?!

The Arctic Circle is the northernmost part of Earth. This area includes, among other things, parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Greenland, Alaska, and Canada.

In the North Pole, there are no days and nights, only one day and one night, each lasting about half a year: during the summer months - the day, and during the winter months - the night. The sun does not rise there for six months each year, and it does not set at all during the other six months. Even when it is shining, its rays are weak, so it is very cold in these areas.

Imagine, at the North Pole, where the sun is not seen for several months and they have darkness there, the government would produce a giant fireball, raised into the sky to heat and illuminate the entire country precisely as needed. When the people of the state want to sleep, automatically a box that the fireball enters into is used, so it does not disturb. And finally, there is no need to refuel this fireball, as it contains enough energy to shine for millions of years ahead.

How would everyone react to such an invention? Everyone would be astonished and amazed at how they made such a giant fireball, illuminating the entire state so precisely. And here we are, who have the sun, which is much more wondrous, and we are not amazed by it and are accustomed to it. We wake up in the morning, see the sun rise, and in the evening it sets, and everything is as usual...

Notice, the sun alone lights the earth during the day (of course, one hemisphere at a time) with precise lighting: not too little - so that we can't see, and not too much - to the extent of blindness. It lights the exact amount necessary for us and for our benefit.

And my question to you: why do we take the "largest light bulb" in the world, that is, the sun, for granted? Who can create a strong body that lights the whole world in perfect timing? Who placed the sun in its precise place? And why aren't we excited about the One who created and designed it so perfectly?

"Every Day I Tear a Page from the Calendar"

A few days ago, I happened to check what day of the week a certain date falls on in the current month on a Gregorian-Hebrew calendar hanging on my fridge. When I searched for the day of the week the desired date fell on in the month, I realized that the calendar on the fridge was not up to date, rather, it was open to three months ago. I immediately tore three pages of the previous three months from the calendar and threw them in the trash.

Wow... suddenly I felt discomfort, a pang in my heart, a kind of unease and restlessness.

Suddenly, I realized I wasn't throwing away pages. I was throwing away three months of my life! I was wasting life! Whose? Mine! Three precious months, casually thrown into the trash with such indifference, apathy, and disinterest. I asked myself: what life did I just throw in the trash? Were they really three months of life that were "worth trash," or three months that even though I "threw" them away, they were still accumulated as credit for me?

Wait, I began to examine myself - what did I do in those three months? What did I take with me beyond those months? Did I pray correctly? Did I perform commandments? Did I study Torah? If so, I didn't really throw away three months. Or perhaps, heaven forbid, they were three months where not only did I not strengthen in commandments, character work, Torah study, but I also failed in gossip and prohibited sights, and then truly, those months went to waste...

So which pages of life are we tearing from our calendar? Are they lives truly lost and unrecovered, or lives where the commandments and good deeds we do are recorded above as credit and never lost?

Friends, in our lives we amass and gather, buy and invest, we dedicate days and nights to create a comfortable and quality world for ourselves. But at the end of the day, all that we worked for - the houses, the cars, the businesses... everything will remain here! The money and possessions stay here, but what truly remains with us are the commandments and good deeds we perform, and they are recorded above as credit for us!

"It Will Heal on Its Own"

A few weeks ago, my wife fell and was severely injured in her face. We arrived at the hospital with her face swollen, purple, and with many cuts. At the hospital, they took an X-ray and discovered, in addition to everything, a fracture in her nose.

An ENT doctor checked her, dressed her nose, and scheduled her for a surgery in about two weeks to repair the nasal fracture. Afterward, I asked him, "Doctor, what about the pain, the purple swelling, and the facial cuts?".

The doctor replied: "Don't worry, it will heal on its own"...

Wait, how will it heal on its own? How does her face restore itself after such severe damage, without anyone doing something about it? How does the face return to its original look after being swollen, cut, and painful without doctors, ointments, and medications? How is this possible? But if we observe, the answer is truly embedded in the phrase "it will heal on its own!". Let me explain.

In my eyes, the phrase "it will heal on its own" embeds an insight rooted in each of us without our noticing it, and that is that only the Creator alone will heal the illness! Only He alone does it! Humans have no ability to program the body so wondrously. Only the Creator alone - with no partners, no competitors - has the power to ensure that the "suit" on our body (the skin) grows with us and remains whole through internal biological processes by cell division and renewal in an automatic and continuous manner. He set a self-healing mechanism in the body: the blood clotting system, which prevents blood loss, and systems that close and heal the torn area.

Think about how our body would look if every cut a person went through in life, starting from infancy, remained on the body. How do you think we would look? How blessed are we to have a creator and designer who cared for every detail in our world and our bodies!

We are about a month after, and my wife's face has returned to itself, more beautiful than ever.

Could this miraculous process, which indicates a guiding and caring hand, have come into existence on its own without a creator and planner? By observing the human body, one can understand that it is created by a superhuman with infinite genius and immense power...
