Is there a need to reconcile faith and belief?

Hi,

"Faith with which the mind does not agree arouses anger and cruelty [within one's self], because the human being's higher aspect, the mind, becomes frustrated with it. However, in higher faith – although it is quite concealed – Gd's ways are marvelous, and there is such great beauty in them that the anger caused by overpowering the mind is immediately cancelled, converted into great sweetness and pure light…"

(Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kook, Arpilei Tohar)

Have a great day,
Mordechai

What righteous people do

Hi,

"Pure righteous people do not complain about evil, but increase righteousness.

"They do not complain about heresy, but increase faith.

"They do not complain about ignorance, but increase wisdom."

(R' Avraham Yitzchak haKohen Kook, Arpilei Tohar)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
