Bitachon 41 - Only Bitachon
534 views
We come to the close of our study of the Alter of Novardok's discussions on Bitachon, and we learn that it is imperative to work on Bitachon, not only because it's a mitzvah, but because it steers us far away from the trap of believing that we are accomplishing anything on our own.

you're listening to the 41st edition of
the talking podcast
and here we come to the the end of the
13th chapter the end of the entire
section of vitacon in the same room from
a dragon
and the author is telling us about what
happens when a person trusts in a person
sometimes the person will trust in
someone else because
you know you think that that's what
you're gonna that person's gonna provide
you with what your needs but there's so
many ways that it can go wrong
it could be that that person doesn't
have the ability to provide him with
what he needs
and even if he has the ability
and they offer
he doesn't know exactly the right way to
give him what he needs the the right way
to to provide for him
not everybody knows what's inside of the
heart of another person can have someone
who's very intuitive who does have a
sense
of safe
when it comes to helping somebody and
giving them what they need it's
something that depends on a person's
hearts because some people need less
some people need more really depends on
their feelings
we spoke about the fact that if the a
person if let's say reuben is trusting
in shimon and shima knows that the the
only one that ruben is depending is upon
him so he's going to provide for him
let's say shaman doesn't even realize
that
and if he believes it and he doesn't
listen to another person
the truth is that he can be distant from
him for many honest true reasons
why is he only trusting in me the person
can think
let him get his own money let him
provide for himself why is he trusting
in me
there are so many other people who can
help him why is he only depending on me
this kind of person who only trusts
in one person
it's included in the in uh
say that somebody who doesn't have any
wisdom a person who's completely devoid
of any understanding you're not allowed
to have compassion on him
a person is asking for something which
is not intellectually honest or not
doesn't make sense it's not fair
no you don't have to
a person doesn't have to provide that
person with everything that they want
how many times we say to our children
that's not a fair request
it's not such a fair request to place
the onus of obligation on one person and
then nobody else
because
now the truth is that if we think about
it intellectually
he's really right
he'll still have no choice so even if
the guy responds and says you know i
really can't do this i really can't help
you it doesn't make sense for me to help
you i know that you have no one else to
depend on but but you could depend on
somebody else
it doesn't matter
shimon is going to have to really will
have no choice but to provide for him
if the person is really strong-willed
really an action really stuck on it
you're the only one who's going to give
me what i want what i need etc
make make all of the calculations you
want but you're the one who's got to do
it
it's included in
the obligation to save a person's life
even a truly cruel person
will put all of his efforts into helping
this person commission
we see this with our own two eyes
the person is more interested than
anything else
in fulfilling that desire of those who
trust in him
if he'll just have the ability
there's a mindset
that
brings
a few times it's a mysore with a it's
it's a mushroom it's not clear it's a
mushroom it's a mystery siren it
happened in
quesaria
probably about 2000 years ago a
particular person was caught having done
something wrong running away from the
tax or whatever but he said don't don't
beat me up
i'm uh i'm somebody who's
i have i have an inn with the king i'm
part of the king's entourage i'm
somebody who the king is close with as
soon as the the policeman heard this so
they backed off they didn't touch him
the next day they brought this person in
front of the king and the king looks at
me so
do i know you are you part of one of the
people who i know i don't recognize you
and so the man says to the king he says
you don't really know me but please
take care of me because i trusted in you
i put my faith in you i knew that no one
is going to save me unless i put my
faith in you
so the king of course takes care of this
person it does protect the person
so that's the way it is that's how human
beings respond
who responds the same way
this is talking about a human being
doesn't have such great ability
who's very weak when it comes to his
understandings and his ability to to
fulfill other people's desires
and his small understanding when it
comes
to doing kindness to others fulfilling
his very needs he doesn't know even
exactly what the person needs
kosher kanabari is
the creator of the world is stronger
than anyone
he has compassion on you from the very
moment that you were conceived inside of
your mother's womb
has all of the ability
has the ability
he knows
all the things that the person really
needs
all the things that the person really
has inside of his heart
all the things that will be a favor for
that person
a person has no choice we have to trust
in hashem
without being involved in any hashtags
without any efforts
that we not fall into the trap
of believing that it was my power my
efforts
my abilities
that gave me this success
israel
like when he saw salantar the father of
the muslim movement
was the rebbe of the altar of the
verdict like he writes in his safer
avenue israel
person who does so much efforts too much
efforts but even a lot of efforts
so he's included in those who deny god's
existence
because they are depending upon their
own efforts depending upon their own
power
we understand from an intellectual
perspective
if a person makes offense for himself in
order to be able to
minimize his efforts
feel like completely
i feel like how you mean even if it's
not
absolutely the correct thing to do
right together i'm
but if we say you know it's just like a
person who's a nazir person who's a
who's
uh working on kedush on holiness so we
say to them stay far far away don't even
go on a field of grapes don't even go in
a in a vineyard
actually
if a person is doing that as well you
know i'm not going to do any status you
know why because i know if i touch
ishtadlis
i
i fall into the trap of believing that
it's me
so
the
the intellectual
we're forced to say intellectually
that
as we explain that as we've gone through
what happens when a person puts his
complete trust in a person that person
has to album so even if it's let's say
not the cathedral way to go it's
interesting that he's saying it this way
but even if someone would say that which
is not he's saying i don't believe that
but even if you would say that
still hashem has no choice so to speak
but to provide you with what you need
the
one who trusts in hashem is surrounded
by kindness
just as if you look around me i'm
surrounded by the beautiful nature of
hashem
says just thinking about it because you
use the same language i can tell them
you shall i remember
jerusalem was surrounded by mountains i
was noticing this
not this past shabbat but the showers
before i was in shalom visiting my
parents
he went to the castle and surrounding
you shalom it's it's awesome i i don't
feel like i haven't noticed it there's
the beautiful mountains surrounding the
whole yu shalom you see it from far away
you look beyond the castle you look to
the right
if you're standing farther up and you
see the mountains surrounding
hashems
and just as the you shallam is
surrounded by the mountains which
represent protection and love and
embrace
so to hashem surrounds am israel
surrounds his nation and hashem
surrounds us as this passage says the
person who trusts in hashem is
surrounded he's surrounded by mountains
the mountains of hashem the kindness of
hashem
is saying
the truth is that he has no other way
there's no one else really to depend on
except for hashem
only god himself
can fulfill
that which he requests
because he knows every detail of a
person's
sicknesses of a person's spiritual
sicknesses physical sicknesses
the things that a person lacks
and he knows the cure
the personalized cure for that person
yes
more than a person knows himself
all of the abilities are in his hands
and nobody else
a person like this person who completely
places his face on the kurdish
doesn't doesn't do any ishtar this
doesn't put in any efforts
so that person
has the correct
approach
so it's very clear
as we have shown it's very clear that a
person who puts his complete faith in
his complete faith in god
so
hashem will give him all that he needs
without any kind of efforts necessary on
his part
the person trusts in truth truly trust
in hashem
he doesn't try anything else he doesn't
look for anybody else to help him
he doesn't put in any other efforts
he doesn't believe that someone besides
for god is going to provide for him
he will certainly
get that which he desires
all of his needs will be filled
of course besides the fact that even if
you wouldn't be answered by a kurdish
broker even if a person wouldn't receive
that which they would like to get you
still have an obligation we still have
an obligation to trust hashem even if we
don't get what we want
it's a mitzvah
it's something which is a choice it's a
circle it's a mythical it's it's
it's intellectual however you approach
it
we're obligated to trust in hashem
but
when we trust in hashem as we as we said
completely completely completely
hashem has to respond
the obligation of a person is to place
all of his efforts
where do we put all of our efforts
to acquire to get the attribute of faith
again i know i've said this before i'm
going to say it again because this is
the bottom line this is the final
paragraph of this concept you know say
from andreas adam
where do we put our status where should
we put our efforts all of our efforts
can go
into
strengthening or be talking more be
talking more faith in god
i'll share his psychology
it's the foundation of the entire torah
this is it my friends be talking is the
foundation of the entire torah the guru
also writes this
that the reason we're put on this earth
is in order to develop the
a real relationship with god
in the 26th
semen of of
rush in the first
entire
situation of a person is dependent upon
us
therefore let's place all of our faith
in god
and then we will have heavenly
assistance
that we will be included in those who
truly trust in hashem
acosta like says
in jeremiah chapter 17 verse 7 the
famous pasuk
baruch
hashem
[Music]
blessed is the person who trusts in
hashem
and when we trust in hashem the one who
trusts in hashem hashem will be his
trust
hashem will show that indeed when we
trust in him
he can be relied upon
this means in my other master
it means that when a person
is miserable
he gives himself over to this mitzvah
completely
to trust in hashem
hashem then he will certainly receive
heavenly assistance miraculous heavenly
assistant assistants
that god will be his trust
he will get the ability hashem will give
him a seat
i believe this is what he's saying here
at the very end
that if you put all of your efforts in
of course
more we can't complete anything in the
world we can't even put our ishtalas in
properly to have him be taken
but if we do put as much of our
questions in as possible we put all of
our efforts in
we do it for real we really mean it we
really try all the way really really
really really we trust in hashem
hashem will help us that we'll be able
to completely trust in him and hashem
will
come
through and give us all of our needs
