Being Faithful: 5

As a person contemplates his attitude towards Rosh HaShanah the following should enter his mind:

Hashem calls to us with great love that He desires to renew Creation. He awaits our response; for us to realize that it is our destiny as the purpose of Creation to proclaim Him as King. Why are we then selfishly just asking for life, children and sustenance and not thinking of our Father in Heaven? Why are we appearing like a child who is attempting to flatter his father in order to get the car keys?

By engaging in a Hisbodidus such as this our entire attitude towards Rosh HaShanah will change. We will realize that we hold in our own hands the very future of Creation. The whole world awaits for us to come to this realization and open the door to prayer and Teshuvah that connect to the very foundation of being.
