5 Tishrei 5787

A resume of the second method:

Sh: - Shiviti..., "I have set G‑d (Havayeh) before me always."[1] Havayeh indicates the creation of the universe and creatures. Bringing all of Creation into being and sustaining it is accomplished by bridging an infinite gap - from ayin (non-being, nihilo) to yesh (being). This form of the avoda (service) of teshuva results from one's constant awareness[2] of the way in which the universe and all that is in it, is (constantly) brought into being.

Compiled and arranged by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, of righteous memory, in 5703 (1943) from the talks and letters of the sixth Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn, of righteous memory.

Tehillim 16:8.

"I have set...before me always etc..."

קיצור ביאור באופן הב': ש, שויתי הוי' לנגדי תמיד, הוי' מורה על התהוות העולם והתהוות הנבראים, אשר התהוות הבריאה כולה וחיותה הוא בדרך אין ערוך מאין ליש. והיא עבודת התשובה הבאה עי"ז [על ידי זה] אשר תמיד לנגד עיניו ענין ההוי' של העולם ומלואו.
