Marc Gafni – TO SEE GOD IN YOUR FACE

There is a tale told of the Master Nahman Kossover. His mystical practice was to meditate on the divine name. It is said that when he taught he could actually see —reflected back to him- the divine name on the faces of his listeners. At some point Nachman fell on rough times and was forced to leave teaching and become a merchant. He was greatly saddened because he found it very difficult to fully concentrate on the divine name amidst the buy sell atmosphere of the market. Until he hit upon a solution. He hired an assistant to travel with him with no other job than to be present. When he would at the face of his assistant he would be reconnected with the name of God. Was the assistant particularly beautiful? I doubt it. The assistant was every man and every woman. You and me.
