Desire for Spirituality

Q: What is the “point in the heart” and do we all have it?

A: Every person has a point in the heart, but many people still don’t feel it, because they haven’t matured enough to feel it. During one’s life cycles, one comes to a situation where the point in the heart is revealed. One then begins to feel a desire for spirituality, for the Upper One.

If one currently does not show interest in the spiritual world, then one is still not ready for it, and it would be coercion to try to forcefully awaken that desire.

But if one does feel a need to discover the Upper World, then we must help such a person. There cannot be coercion in either case. Kabbalists always say that only a person who cannot do without Kabbalah can study it.
