lilmod ulelamaid: Thank you thank you!!!! That really helps. Okay I didn’t realize that on the flip side, my focus on doing what I need to do in this world could throw me off balance.
Thinking about the consequence of Yiras Hashem can help keep one from straying.
If I didn’t think about the after-effects of eating an entire cake, pie, and box of cookies, then it would be all too easy to nosh away. However, knowing that doing so would have dire consequences, and eating healthy foods is good for me, B”H prevents me from going that far today.
While I cannot prove that transgressions in this world will leave me feeling gross in Olam Habah, having faith in Yiras Hashem can be enough to make sure that I’m not consuming in, engaging in, or devouring a boatload of metaphorical transgressions while I’m still in the mortal realm.
Thanks again for the explanation. Makes sense 🙂
