What is a blade of grass?
A blade of grass is infinite light expressing itself as a blade of grass.
What is an atom?
An atom is infinite light expressing itself as an atom.
What is a universe?
A universe is infinite light expressing itself as a universe.
In each, the Infinite Light says, "I am here and I am not here.
 I am this and I am not this. Through this thing,
know it’s Maker, that which cannot be known."
From the wisdom of  Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, of righteous memory

Reciprocal Tolerance
By Tzvi Freeman
At every moment, your Creator must decide,
"Should I put up once again with this little creature’s imperfections and blunders,
 or is it time to measure things by the scale?"
Then He looks at the scale you use to measure others.
And with that same measure, He measures you.
From the wisdom of  Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, of righteous memory
