1974 by Holy Beggars' Gazette Reprinted by permission. San Francisco, Nisan 5734. They have no Yishuv haDaat, no time to think. Yishuv means to sit, and Daat means mind. When you want to think of something you sit down, so your mind is more at ease.
People never give their minds a chance to sit.
Then they would realize that they are not gaining anything from all those worldly things. There are some kinds of desires which are outside, like honor and success, which are not connected to me physically, but are still connected to me. According to the Baal Shem Tov, according to Chassidus, the greatest sin in the world is to be sad. He answers that when you are sad, then you have no control over your mind, and if you have no control over your mind, then you can't get your mind to sit down and think straight. Only when you are happy, when you are full of joy, can you attain Yishuv haDaat.
