On Being Accident-Prone
A rabbi taught that experiences of God can never be planned or achieved. "They are spontaneous moments of grace, almost accidental."
His student asked, "Rabbi, if God-realization is just accidental, why do we work so hard doing all these spiritual practices?"
The rabbi replied, "To be as accident-prone as possible."
