Shmeleke of Nikolsburg (?-1778)
This passage, to me, ties greatly to the Hindu passage about the jewels. Its saying that we all are one and connected by god. That our consciousness is shared through Him. As humans we have a hard time grasping the infinity of God's reach. We are all a part of Him and Him a part in all of us. This is also a passage of forgiveness and understanding. Understanding that even though God is in all of us, that as humans we cloud our minds with Earthly thoughts. We can forget what we really are and look for glory in our worldly bodies, something that is rarely found and is always superficial. And a lesson to give forgiveness to those who may lose their way from God, those who have wrong us in some way. Wronging them in return is also a punishment for ourselves and a ripple of hurt and heartache are the only things to follow. That repeating that anger and sorrow creates only more anger and sorrow and the word of God gets ignored. Instead we should release ourselves of those burdens and forgive those who caused our suffering, because they are suffering to. Release the world from anger and hatred and we are able to embrace the love of God inside us, for we are all important, flawless entities in His eyes and if one link in His perfect chain is flawed, we all become flawed.
