In Wondrous Excitement
A mini-translation from Emuna v'Bitachon by the Chazon Ish
A
person's faith depends on the smallest turning within the subtleties of
the personality. A person who is sensitive, living in tranquil times,
free of hunger or other obsessions, that allows himself to be
fascinated by the magnificence of the heavens, entranced by the depths
of the earth, lives in a state of wondrous excitement. The riddle of
Creation, its hidden, awesome secret fills and enwraps his heart and
mind, until he fills close to fainting, without any life-force other
than uncovering this mystery. Solving this enigma becomes his focus and
life-goal, and he will throw himself into fire and water for it, for
what is his life worth as long as he remains far from the pleasantness
of this reality.
