Many of us go through life sleeping. We follow the commandments but somewhat by routine. Hashem wants Robots but they are Malachim, we have a neshama. Our neshamos are constantly attached to Hashem Yisborach. There is not a moment that passes in which we are not showered with Hashem's Divine Light that sustains us. So why do we seem to ignore this. It is brought in Sefer Tomer Devorah that Hashem suffers great humiliation because of us. When one sins, Hashem is still sending his influx down to that person. Of course he can remove it & the person can just vanish. But Hashem is Hashem, B'H! Slow to anger, humble & he bestows tremendous patience. He gives us a chance to repent & continues to sustain he. If only one would recognize this enough, could they ever sin & cause Hashem such humiliation. Though we are still attached via his Divine Light, we are smearing dirt on a window. How can we see clearly afterwards. The funny this is, we expect to still see clearly. Our Devekus is impaired.

The gates of teshuva(repentance) are always open. It is mostly through lack of fear of Hashem that we sin. Someone once mentioned to me, in yeshivos today they teach Torah & the person is expected to find Yiras Hashem more on their own. The beginning of wisdom is the fear of Hashem. So maybe this is the place to put more emphasis. This is also clear by the fact that R. Yosef Caro placed this concept first in our Shulchan Aruch.

What, you have no time to read wonderful stories!!! The Baal Shem Tov himself said, "Telling stories praising the Tzaddikim is equivalent to Maaseh Merkavah, the mystic study of the Divine Chariot." The Maggid of Mezritch, also said that praising the Tzaddikim by storytelling is equivalent to praising Hashem."
