The following is from RSRH's commentary on Devarim 30<br><br>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=4><b>11
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3><i>For this commandment that
I command you today is not beyond your understanding, nor is it far
away.<br><br>
</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>In the preceding
verses it says that the fulfillment of God’s<br>
Torah transmitted to us through Moshe is the sole basis of our
destiny<br>
in all times and the foundation of our hopes for the future. In
addition,<br>
confidence is expressed that, in spite of all the vicissitudes of our
fate,<br>
the Torah will never be lost to us, nor will we ever be lost to it;
rather,<br>
ultimately we will return to it with all our hearts and with all our
souls.<br>
As grounds for this confidence, Scripture [v v. 11-14] points out that
the<br>
Torah’s contents are close to man’s nature and accessible to his
intellect.<br><br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=4><b><i>Lo nephlas he
mimcha</i></b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>: [The Torah]
does not deal with secrets that are<br>
supernatural and incomprehensible to the human mind.<br><br>
</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=4><b><i>v'lo r'chokah he</i>
</b></font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=3>: Understanding and
fulfilling [the Torah] do not depend<br>
on remote conditions which are not accessible everywhere to those<br>
who are obligated by it.</font></body>
