The Vilna Gaon shows how Parshas Va’eschanan reveals a deep truth: Many seek Hashem, but few truly find Him—because finding requires full heart and soul. The Chafetz Chaim drives it further—bitachon isn't extra credit; it’s core. It's not enough to want; you must live it. Rebbe Leibele Eiger’s transformation in Kotzk teaches the difference between saying and knowing. Hashem isn’t everywhere—He’s wherever you let Him in. Real tefillah, even once, can shift everything. A wake-up call before Elul: The limit of your emunah is where the Torah says it only begins.
