When you speak HaShem’s Torah to others, begin by connecting yourself, in thought, to *HaShem,*blessed is He, and realize that, like you, the soul of your friend is also connected to HaShem. For, every person only lives from HaShem’s influence of lifeforce, the lifeforce in all creatures.

In your mind, consider yourself to be speaking in HaShem’spresence only, blessed is He, to give Him satisfaction of spirit, and think to yourself, “I am not saying these words to impress my fellow, for what difference would his praise or ridicule make to me?”
