Spirituality in Everything

"And a Hasidic Jew has, perhaps, the emotional approach, or perhaps the intellectual approach, through his or her particular Rebbe?" I continued.

"Through a particular Rebbe, or an approach within a particular Hasidic movement," he explained. "You see, these different names for the different movements were usually names of towns where the different Hasidic Rebbes lived in Europe."

"Now that we’ve covered the goal of Hasidic Judaism, how do you live in permanent spiritual realization? Since your path and the path of Chabad is that of intellectual realization, how do you do it successfully? Do you simply strive to be mindful of God at all times, or... ?" I struggled to formulate my question.

"That’s critical," he responded. "In all your ways you should know God. In everything you do, you should come to a recognition of spirituality. Everything you do has a purpose and we have to bring out that purpose constantly."
