In this week's Torah portion of Tzav it talks about the fire that was lit on the Altar. The kohanim (priests) would light a fire, and in turn, G-d would send His fire down from heaven to consume the sacrifices. This fire from G-d would only come if there was first the physical fire kindled by the kohanim.
Now, the fire from G-d is an unlimited force without any boundaries wheres the physical fire lit by the kohanim was limited. However, it is specifically through the kindling of THIS physical fire that would cause the fire from above to descend.
Every one of us has our own Sanctuary within, in which G-d desires to dwell. When we offer up to G-d our fire, our entire energy, we merit that G-d descends and gives us His fire-- an abundance of blessings and strength.

NEXT ONE MINUTE:
Today is the Birthday of the Lubavitcher Rebbe. The Rebbe was once asked to elaborate on the nature of his position. The Rebbe replied that he is a miner. Just as a miner digs into the depths of the earth and ultimately comes up with jewels and precious metals, so, too, the Rebbe teaches and empowers us to penetrate to the depths of our being and reveal the inner G-dliness dormant within our souls.
The Rebbe operated from a different perspective. What is significant is not what he or other people see or want in this world, but what G-d wants. Why did G-d create the world? A person ought to look beyond his own individual horizons and see a larger picture - a Divine picture. To aid us in this process, we connect with the Rebbe, study his teachings and follow his directives.
The world was created solely for Moshiach. Becoming more acquainted with G-d's purpose for creation will make us more capable of prodding that purpose into fulfillment and enabling the world to reach that desired state.
Let us utilize this auspicious day and give the Rebbe a birthday gift of making good resolutions to increase in the areas of Torah learning, prayer and good deeds..and hastening the day when we will finally live in a world that openly declares the name of G-d.
