Why Don’t We Feel the Beauty of Mitzvos?

We don’t always feel a spiritual high after completing a mitzvah.

Sfas Emes explains that since the Torah is spiritual and we are physical, there is no way that we will immediately feel the beauty and light of the Torah.

It’s only through fulfilling the Mitzvos many times, that will form us into a more refined vessel and we will start to feel the beauty of a Mitzvah.

Torah is the light and Mitzvos is the candle that holds the light.

There is no point expecting to understand a mitzvah before having fulfilled it. The more we do, the more we will start to develop and appreciate its taste.

One needs a lot of emunah to jump in and do the mitzvah even if one does not initially understand it. But the understanding will come eventually.

613 Mitzvos - 613 solutions how a human being can become a vessel to flood himself with the light of the Torah.
