The key to returning (teshuvah) to God-concious (awe) living is Mazal and Inyan.

Returning to a God-conscious way of living through the process of Teshuvah, or repentance, is a transformative journey that requires introspection and a deep reconnection with the divine. In this quest, two important concepts play a crucial role: Mazal and Inyan. Mazal refers to divine providence or destiny, while Inyan represents the purpose and significance of every aspect of life.

Mazal is often interpreted as luck or fortune, but in Torah thought, it goes beyond mere chance. It signifies the belief that our lives are guided by a higher power. Each individual is born with a unique destiny or Mazal, and while we have free will to make choices, our paths are ultimately guided by divine intervention. Understanding Mazal helps us see that our experiences and circumstances are not accidental, but part of a greater plan. Challenges and setbacks become opportunities for growth and spiritual transformation within the framework of Teshuvah.

Inyan, on the other hand, emphasizes purpose and significance. It teaches that everything in life has a deeper meaning and serves a specific purpose. By exploring and aligning ourselves with our personal Inyan as well as the inyan of everything we occupy ourselves with, we can identify where we may have strayed from our intended path or neglected our divine purpose. By rediscovering and realigning with our Inyan, we awaken a sense of awe and gratitude. We recognize the unique gifts and talents we possess and understand the impact we can have on the world around us.

Mazal and Inyan are intertwined in the process of Teshuvah. Mazal reminds us that our journey is guided and that divine providence plays a significant role in our lives. It gives us solace in difficult times and encourages us to view our mistakes as part of a greater plan, inspiring hope and perseverance.

Inyan empowers us to take responsibility for our actions and choices. It helps us recognize the purpose behind our actions and guides us to align our lives with our true calling. By integrating our actions with our Inyan, we unify the spiritual and physical realms. We elevate the mundane to the sacred by infusing intention, mindfulness, and awareness into our everyday activities. This unification deepens our connection with the divine, cultivating a sense of awe and gratitude.

Within Mazal, there are three pillars that hold significance: Chayim (life), Banim (legacy), and Mazon (sustainanance). Chayim represents a meaningful and purposeful existence, where we strive to live in accordance with our divine purpose. Banim signifies the responsibility to raise future generations with values and teachings that foster a God-conscious way of life. Mazon acknowledges the importance of material well-being and teaches us to balance our pursuit of wealth with ethical conduct and generosity.

In conclusion, returning to a God-conscious way of living through Teshuvah (returning) requires understanding and applying the concepts of Mazal and Inyan. Mazal reminds us of divine providence and the guiding hand of a higher power in our lives. Inyan teaches us that everything has purpose and significance, and by aligning our actions with our unique purpose, we unify the spiritual and physical realms. Through the integration of Mazal and Inyan, we embark on a transformative journey, deepening our spiritual connection, and living a life filled with awe, gratitude, and purpose, without religion.
