Desire

Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev (1740-1810), quoted by Harry M. Rabinowicz, Hasidism: The Movement and Its Masters (Northvale: Jason Aronson, 1988), p. 67:
When a man craves wealth or fame, he should reason thus: "If I have such a strong desire for things that are ephemeral, how much stronger should be my desire for God, who is eternal and the source of everlasting joy?"
