avodas Hashem

--- emotional problems are the direct result of being disconnected from God

…but separation from God is our lot…to try and dig out the thorn, and the pain is always there.

   We are always trying to reunite with God…we decrease pain when we draw closer to Him and increase our pain when we go away from Him…We may conclude, therefore, that we are all emotionally or mentally ill to some degree.  This internal imbalance may erupt

but more commonplace are the symptoms of sin…digressions from the God-given path…

our avodas Hashem…our balance…
