20 "When your son asks you in time to come, 'What is the meaning of the testimonies and the statutes and the ordinances which YHVH, our god, has commanded you?'
21 then you shall say to your son, 'We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt; and YHVH brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand;
22 and YHVH showed signs and wonders, great and grievous, against Egypt and against Pharaoh and all his household, before our eyes;
23 and he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in and give us the land which he swore to give to our fathers.
24 And YHVH commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear YHVH, our god, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day.
25 And it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to do all this commandment before YHVH, our god, as he has commanded us.'
Our commitment must be unified between the body, mind and soul, or heart. When a part of us is questioning our spiritual quest, or seeking after lustful or materialistic goals, inconsistent with our spiritual goals, we will make little progress. To succeed we must clear out the negative or materialistic thoughts and emotions so that we have no hindrance to our spiritual progress.
