Tanrı'yı Daima Önünde Tutmak: Kalbin Hizmeti

To be rooted in humility, one should fulfill the verse "I have set the Lord always before me." This is a great principle in the Torah and in the levels of the righteous. A person should walk in the law of the Lord; for a person's sitting, his movements, and his business when he is alone in his house are not like his sitting, movements, and business when he is before a great king. One's speech and the opening of one's mouth as they please with members of their household and relatives is not like their speech in the assembly of a king. How much more so when a person takes to heart that the Great King, the Holy One, Blessed be He, whose glory fills the entire earth, stands over him and sees his deeds, as it is written: "If a man hides in secret places, shall I not see him? says the Lord." Immediately, awe, humility, and the fear of the Blessed Name will reach him. His shame and his sins he shall cast into the depths of the sea. Even when sitting in his house or lying on his bed, he should know before whom he lies, and immediately he will wake with alacrity for His service, may He be blessed, and he shall go on his way.
