Engagement in Real-world Living

Encountering mold, mildew, and the real world shapes people, emphasizing the importance of engagement in real-world living rather than retreating. Buddhism and Christianity illustrate different approaches; while Buddhism involves detachment for enlightenment, Christianity focuses on engaging with the real world. Rabbi Jonathan Saxe contrasts the Western idea of a detached prophet with the Jewish concept of a prophet being one with the people, experiencing everything alongside them.
