“”Sometimes someone might think they want to get closer to Hashem, and wants to do so with a method that works for them, which they thought of. We need to realize that Hashem gave us instructions to get closer to Him – the Torah! Trying to do things which aren’t in the Torah, will not bring us closer, even though we may think it will. We need to recognize that it’s not about us, it’s about what Hashem told us to do, even if we don’t like doing it.””
My point exactly. We need to focus on what we need to do, rather than want to do.
