Listen "E032 - What is Idolatry? Don’t Test HaShem; rather Look Within "
Episode Synopsis
“The world” constitutes the theme that runs throughout our generations. The quests that you see people pursuing. It could be money, it could be sexual conquest, or even the most exotic and delicious cuisine. Gd’s people are influenced by all these things because we are really a part of this society that we dwell in, but our attention and our focus needs to be different.
We need to identify where we are in our stance with Gd. By looking within, and checking ourselves with the Torah we can get insight on our relationship status, and find out what can be tweaked. Overly focusing on anything that is not HaShem can lead our hearts to feel that that specific thing is the most important thing in the world. And then our mind and heart is consumed and wrapped up in a single-hearted non-God related thing. That, in turn, becomes like an idol, hence the word “idolatry.”
Testing HaShem happens when we continually lust after a thing, e.g. could money and the pursuit of riches, while having in full knowledge that that isn’t what we should be doing. Through our understanding of the Bible, we know that a continual focus on non-spiritual matters is unhealthy for our neshamas. However, please keep in mind that this translates quite differently when we are talking about marriage. Marriage is a representation of Gd and his people, that holiness means that focusing on serving your spouse and prioritizing their desires is never an idolatrous thing. It’s rather quite beautiful.
