	Rav Dessler: Quality Leads to Quantity
		Rabbi Dessler created such an atmosphere of spiritual striving that the members of the kollel and their wives were able to ignore their very strained circumstances.
		Rabbi Dessler’s blessing under the chuppah (wedding canopy) to his younger cousin Rabbi Simcha Zissel Dessler and his bride was that they should never experience the test of material wealth (a berachah that Rabbi Simcha Zissel’s son, Rabbi Eliyahu Eliezer Dessler of Ponevezh Yeshiva, says was fulfilled in full).
		But Rabbi Dessler’s great achievement was not that he scorned the material, but that he made the world of ruchnios so real, so palpable that his talmidim were inspired to devote themselves to matters of the Spirit.

		As with any fusion of religion and philosophy, the attempt is difficult because classical philosophers start with no preconditions for which conclusions they must reach in their investigation, while classical religious believers have a set of religious principles of faith that they hold one must believe.
		On this basis Dessler maintains that only those who have spent years concentrating on the subjugation of their desires to their intellect, can even begin to claim intellectual impartiality.
