Actually, I'm not joking.I think he's joking.I have a feeling that most believers of all don't want to pass a single day in this life only being connected 1/613th to God, let alone eternity. My thought, and my experience is that even though we can only manage a fraction of God's will for us, of God's faith in us, it is His power, not ours, that is going to bring us the rest of the way to Him. Fortunately, God is so very good at meeting us where we are, and then bringing us in the rest of the way. No matter where we are; no matter what faith.Giving 1/10th of one's income is one of the 613 Connections.
I don't want to spend eternity with only 1/613th of my soul connected to God.
There is only give and take. G-d gives, we take. If we can leave this life with giving more to it that is of the commandments, then we might be able to leave it better than we came into it. That's about it.
We build our Olam Haba and there's a reason God gave each one of us our responsibilities.
