Portion Vayakhel - and proportion - everything in proportion - really? Except serving God's purpose!

Portion  Vayakhel and proportion - everything in proportion - really? Except serving God's purpose!
 
From Rabbi Carlebach:
 
(Explained a bit by AE)
 
Many people worked on balding our beautiful Tabernacle in the desert.
 
When Moshe put the Mishkan together - it all fit together perfectly.
 
How was it possible?
 
Now I want you to open your hearts in the deepest way.
 
Everyone (individually) has something very sacred, but it is covered. It is hidden.
 R. Noson teaches that when it comes to the building of the Mishkan, each YIdel brought this one point - a good point - that he had. 
 
Moshe Rabbnu had all the  good points - and built the Mishkan with it.
So you see, the tabernacle is built from these little dots, these little things.
 
So here comes the story.
 
 Rabbi Elimelech dreamed that the Third Temple was being built, and saw millions of people running around like crazy. So he stopped one of his angels and said, "You are wasting so much time. If you had less people then you would not fall on each other and finish the work faster." 
 
So the angel looked at him and said: "You do not understand Rabbi Elimelech , God wants everyone to participate in the rebuilding of the Temple.
 
May we all be privileged to take part in the rebuilding of the Temple, and may it be now!
Shabbat Shalom!
 
Shlomo (Rabbi Carlibach)
 
And (AE) to add my daily experience///....
