Bitachon 96 - No Fear of a Falling Leaf

you're listening to the 96th edition of the be talking podcast we're going to continue now with more so Kim from Tanakh speaking about the idea of I just want to say that I'm in a really beautiful spot and although you can't see it behind me is a gorgeous Valley I was here yesterday and I took a picture of the spot so I'm going to flash if you're watching the video you'll be able to see the picture from yesterday of this beautiful place I'll have to come back here another be talking podcast in this spot where you can see the valley behind me right now about Hashem we're very fortunate to have rain in arts Israel and so the entire Valley is filled with a cloud with fog and it's really quite beautiful and uh I'd like to continue and before I actually continue I was just thinking you know sometimes in life it's a good muscle it's a good analogy for life you know sometimes we live in a way that we see clearly the beauty of Hashem of God's Divine Providence in our lives and we see the valleys and we see the mountains and sometimes it's cloudy and sometimes we can't see it but it's still there the beautiful Valley behind me is still beautiful and it's still there so it's not visible in this moment and many times we find in that area we refer to hashem's presence as the cloud right as as the Jews were being led through the mid bar through the the Wilderness so they were led by The Cloud of Hashem which you know hashem's presence is represented by a cloud which means that we don't see him right we don't see it you know we can sense it we could you know we can't even touch it obviously hashem's Hashem is incorporeal and and that's how we need to understand and relate to Hashem that the beauty is there is there it's often clattered it's hard to see but if we look for it we will see it we will see the beauty and ultimately becomes apparent ultimately when the Messiah arrives we're going to have an open revelation of God we'll be able to see his presence completely and we'll see how really all of the cloudiness that we experience it was all a mirage just as a cloud has no substance let's learn together a plastic from michelang paragraphs Otto says that for Hashem to be your trust the concept that Hashem is the one who in whom we place our trust this is something that I've made known to you today even you what does this mean Rashi says foreign don't think how will I study Torah how will I learn Torah how will I have paranasa where will my livelihood come from if I'm involved in Torah if my central Asic and my central involvement is in the Torah how am I going to have what I need King Solomon assures you don't worry you will have what you need everything that you need will appear for you if you trust in Hashem that's the shot of Rashi and to the stuff it says in these matters I may known to you now this is place your trust in Hashem with excuse me turn away from all of your matters to go deeply to delve deeply into the words of the wise with all of your heart even you with Sonny langmeyer what does it mean even you IM shaata sorry I have to move out of the spot where the Raindrop is on the lens return if you think that you're learning you're learning and you're learning by yourself and you think you know how important or how significant is my learning I'm not teaching anybody else I'm not a world famous uh orator that people are paying thousands of dollars to hear I'm just a regular person regular guy sitting and studying the Tour by myself in my little corner so maybe you'll say that I'm not somebody who can trust in Hashem and be assured that my needs will be met no you also should trust in Hashem you also can be assured that you'll have everything that you need There's Hope for you as well there's nothing to be afraid of your it's a very powerful lesson here the Mississippi is teaching us your tire is important not only is your tire important it is essential you the individual who's not making a massive explosion in the world of Torah who's not per se teaching anybody else your Torah is so important that you can be assured that if you trust that Hashem he values your tires so much that you'll have everything that you need that's another stuffing now we have another explanation here which it's not clear to me who says it maybe it's the mama often after the Minnesota stuff he brings the moment is going back upon what it said earlier says above and clear it's pretty clear that that the other explanations are also going in this way that the posix says above turn your ears and hear the words of the wise what is what is it that the wise say they say place your trust in Hashem which means listen to the rules of wisdom from the mouth of the wise Hashem that they received from God with and Trust in Hashem he's the one that gave these rules of wisdom he knows their secret he knows their deaths he knows their truth have no doubt about these words besides for this that you should trust in Hashem that God knows their reasons and their secrets you should also try to understand the to the best of your ability to the best of your knowledge the best of your intuition what is the understanding of them so in this understanding so there's a concept of insofar as trusting and knowing that the terror is true that there's a depth to the knowledge contained within it and also try your best to understand that which it says okay 28th chapter Olive Russia which means they ran and there's no one no one chasing them that's the Russia and the righteous will be will have faith like a lion cub we've encountered this together before and it's starting to rain let's see let's pray that it holds off or let's not be talking that it holds off from raining hard until we finish but in Russia right if I saw the Hashem those who are wicked so they run there's nobody running after them but they still run they have a fear they have a they have a sense that something is going to go wrong a variety of Isom Kyle oleniduff there's if there's like a a FL what is it that actually is there what were they running away from it's just the sound of a leaf falling a leaf that's falling in the in the forest is what they're running away from so they have a certain fear but it's a fear of nothing but the Sadiq trust in Hashem like a lion cub that sits and is is very calm and hasbitahan has full full trust him the righteous they don't run they're not afraid when there's a sound of something which seems to be a negative force and they're not afraid when there's something which there's nothing even if there is a real a real thing to be afraid of why because they recognize that God is on their side that God is protecting them and that God is going to God is going to to fight on their behalf into the stuff like him there's a fear of God that falls on those who are wicked your news right like we saw even though there's there's nobody chasing them they're still running away they're still in fear coulomb all of them key right a fine because nobody's running after them but they're still afraid they're still afraid and that's why they're running but the righteous each and every one of them even when they're alone so each and every one of them even when they're alone when they feel like there's no one protecting them no one around them so they will trust in Hashem and they'll be quiet and they will depend on Hashem like like a lion cub that trusts in his own power a lion cub is powerful he's perhaps we could even say has never encountered any enemies and so he's assured in himself a person who has been talking about Hashem has that sense of assurance and it is raining hard now so I will continue in another location probably somewhere inside so the bottom line of the plastic is that Richard because they don't have you talking they don't have a faith in Hashem so the result is that they're always afraid every little thing a leaf dropping can cause them to be afraid but a Sadiq on the other hand a righteous person they are always assured they are always but they're always confident because Hashem is there for them they're not afraid even from a small thing or even from a large thing now we have another password same chapter says the pasok a person who has a wide Spirit which means that he always needs a lot of things in order to be happy I need this thing to be good I need that thing to be good I need all kinds of there's so many things that I need right he's gonna start off with Hashem as it were he's going to always be having troubles and problems but a person who has faith in Hashem so that person will be fine everything is going to be good for that person until the stuff it says a person who is always trying to fill his soul meaning his always looking for more and more tivus looking for more and more of his desires to be filled so with a tremendous amount this type of person ends up getting in fights because he's always angry he never gets what he wants he's always missing what he wants at all times it's never enough right that's because the way our sages put it is 100 he wants 200. It's never enough if you need to have all of your desires filled they'll always be more desires the desire creates more desire so he's always worried and he's always sad because of his desires and because of the very fight that he creates the the drama that he creates and trying to get what he wants yuraza and such a person perhaps out of his anxiety out of his worry will cause himself to become skinnier and skinnier but somebody tries a person who has faith in Hashem believes that what I have is enough for me he doesn't get sad excuse me he doesn't try to make things better than they are already or he doesn't he doesn't demand that things be better he's not fighting the reality all right so or shaming so that kind of person is everything is good for that person Everything is awesome everything is smooth it's like oil he's a well-oiled person he has everything that he needs he knows that what he has is what he needs that's the matutis of it malvin foreign this is a person who has a very wide a very broad need when it comes to his tyvis when it comes to his desires might say he doesn't find an end he never gets to the Fulfillment of his desires Hashem so in the previous explanations that this person is just walking around angry so he's starting fights picking fights with everybody but in the model he's saying that this kind of person is going to pick a fight as it worked with Hashem he's going to always be complaining why did God do this why did God do this to me doesn't find what he wants he's not getting his desires and he thinks that the whole world was created for for everyone's out to get me and that nothing good comes to me in this world he's always complaining about the way that God interacts with the world right this is a very common problem we think we live in a society which there's a lot of entitlement there's a sense that hey I should have I should have this I should have that we should all have and there's a lot of wealth there's a lot of good things you walk into a store you there's so many things you can get but that breeds this issue because when you have all the time you're always trying to get what you want when you're always dreaming of getting what you want so you end up complaining a lot when you don't have what you want because you can't really have everything that you want or that your lower self wants foreign and he doesn't allow his desires to get the best of him um and he's happy with what he what he has a and he trusts in Hashem that Hashem is going to give him he's going to make available to him all the things that he needs well that's absolutely necessary interesting the language so that person will be very very uh very well taken care of because he will find all of his needs so it's very interesting because this comes back to the question we've discussed we've talked about a lot you know can I have you talking about something that's only that's only only the things that are absolutely necessary can I be talking about things that are beyond that we saw in the health of Nevada he brings the story with the poor man who came to the house of rava and he said I expect to have a very fancy dinner and probably says who says that you could have me talking like that who says you can put those needs upon the seabor upon the people who are supporting you and rub his sister walks in with that very thing that the the poor man had said that he expects to get so you can have you can have be talking about that but we're talking about a person who's not living would be talking we're talking about a person whose life is really one that expresses a broad need without a real consciousness of Hashem so such a person by definition is going to be living in a place where they're not going to get what they need because it will never be enough but living in a space where what I have is good I'm happy with what I have I mean I'm ecstatic about what I have everything that I have is awesome everything I have is great living with that awareness living in that space allows a person to have real be talking and we'll be talking means that I get what I need and of course a person can feel like can be in a space where he needs something more that's okay also there is such a thing and that's what we said from navarek but it can't start there it doesn't start there it has to start from a place where I don't need so much or I'm happy with what I have it's a certain headspace the headspace will be talking is that space where I know that everything that I have Hashem is providing for me and because I'm in that place I can ask for more I have a relationship with Hashem just like a child has a relationship with a parent child can ask for more why because the child sees everything everything that I I need I get and but when the child gets to this point where there's a sense of entitlement which is or a lot of us can find ourselves in our society as we said in that place of entitlement it's a dangerous place it's a place where I lose even what I have and I expect so much I never end up getting it and living in a space of everything I have is awesome opens up cut you know paradoxically opens up the possibility for me to get so much more thank you so much for listening we'll see you again next time
