Bending Down

Someone once asked the Maggid of Mezritch, Rabbi Dov Ber, the following question:

“The verse (Tehillim, 85: 12) states: “Truth will sprout from the earth.” If truth is indeed within everyone’s reach, why is it that so few people are in possession of it? “

The Maggid responded:

“The reason is because people are too lazy to bend down and pick it up.”

(Reshimos Devarim, Vol. 3 Pg. 53)
