Devekut: Disconnecting from Hysteria for Divine Connection
The provided text discusses the spiritual concept of d'veikus, which is described as the highest level of clinging or connecting to Hashem (God). Historically, figures like the prophets achieved this through physical isolation in nature, but the modern application requires individuals to attain this level of spiritual detachment while engaged in contemporary work and family life. The speaker emphasizes that true connection with God is only possible if one first willingly accepts and creates moments of solitude to disconnect from worldly distraction. A significant challenge to modern d'veikus is the constant stream of societal hysteria and manipulative media, which is designed to monopolize human focus and prevent contentment in the present. Therefore, achieving this profound relationship demands finding peace and acceptance in the current moment before cultivating the clear focus necessary for divine connection
