Bitachon 65 - Bitachon with All Your Heart

you're listening to the 65th edition of the bitakin podcast we continue we're in arizagra some sections collected in the batak basham safer that have to do with the idea of bitaken and the first plastic that he brings us is the pasek and michele chapter 14 verse 25. it says like this it is good to put our faith in hashem rather than placing our faith in human beings who are rich human beings who are generous apostate says the grow this is a very difficult passage to fulfill when we asperge who can say about himself honestly that they fulfill this pasuk of having trust in hashem more than we have trust in a human being the opinion says the girl that there are two types of beethoven abraham is going to make him rich so for avraham avinu to have faith in hashem to have confidence that he's going to get that wealth that's called be talking that that makes a lot of sense that's the the most fundamental let's say you know fashion makes you a promise you can trust it but the second part which is something that applies to all of us because we don't have a direct promise and you can think about this in terms of other people sometimes somebody promises you something and because of that promise you have faith in them and you believe that they're going to come through with a promise your parent makes you a promise and they've always come through in the past but there's a second kind of trust of faith we place our faith in god even though god has not necessarily made a promise to us he didn't promise us we're going to be wealthy he didn't promise us that he's going to give us all of our needs but we place our faith in him anyway just like if we're in a relationship with somebody and we know that they've already provided for us in the past i'm going to put my faith in him again all right i'm going to i'm going to come to my parents and i know that they're going to they're going to take care of me because they've taken care of me in the past session this is what it means in the past when it says it is good to put our faith in god the word that it uses it means to trust but it means to trust without the promise means that the person himself places his trust in hashem and is his faith in god even though hashem did not explicitly promise him so this is a better thing to do than to place one's faith in a human being even though the human being may have made a promise to you hashem has not promised so to speak it is better to put our faith in hashem without the promise with just putting our faith in him because we expect a good result that is a better thing to do says king solomon it's a plus again michelle peroqual it's a better thing to do than to place our faith in someone who has made a promise to us okay hashem is more dependable without the promise than a human being is with the promise because that's the first idea that the god teaches us so it's very important and very foundational we can trust in hashem even without a promise and that's called it's more powerful than trusting in a human being then he brings another passage in michelle which we've seen before together because it's quoted at the beginning of this section of the altar of the verdict trust in hashem with all of your heart and don't depend don't use as a support your own mind your own intellect i know this means shia liberation your heart should be full you have absolute faith your heart should be full of the character trait of faith in hashem with confidence in hashem but let me make sense not a bit it's not good to be talking part way you have to be taken all of the way time iron the person should not say if that's but listen i need to listen to my mind i need to think about things intellectually i need to take steps take action it's not enough it's not enough for me to trust in hashem i need to also you know think about things myself okay number i'll show you and says the positive no don't depend on yourself you shouldn't even use your mind as a support the mind should not be used at all now it doesn't mean that i can't look for inspiration in my mind and depend on hashem to send me inspiration that's how i would perhaps be magdalent the feeling that i should have in my heart this is an emotional feeling that i should have is that i'm completely in hashem's hand now the soy union now the gra as is his way so he gives a kabbalistic aspect of this don't be scared off yet lee we find in other plastic it's later initially that the puzzle says my son give me your heart give me your heart so what i'm about to say i'm not a hundred percent sure that this is what he means but what i noticed is once again alibaba a person should place his heart should put his heart on hashem right my heart my emotions should be trusting in hashem that's the feeling that i should have hashem is asking us give your heart to me right the feelings your emotions put it in my hands if you type behold a person should have a happy heart in all the word behold i noticed is the same letters as libra means in it all and the word lipka is also the same letters in it all person needs to place his complete heart into the into one's faith in hashem a person should turn around his heart should upend his heart like a person a person can feel down and a person can flip it around act as if pretend in a certain sense flip it over turn your heart put your heart completely into hashem is hashem will bless you with everything now these two words the word call and backhaul you find it in benching i call me call call right so the word call represents a certain concept which has to do with the six days of the week and where baaco in everything is shabbos which is the concept of resting of of receiving all that we all the blessings that we're looking for so i think that what the gorilla is saying here is that if a person in in his efforts right we do things during the week the aspect of call in the six days of the week we're involved in stuff we're we're taking action we're doing things but even in that moment where we're doing things we need to be careful that it should be done in a way that hashem is in there our heart is with hashem hashem is completely their backhaul completely there and when we receive the blessings in in shabbos and the aspect of shabbos when we receive the blessings all that we prepare for the six days of working those the blessings that we receive hashem needs to be there as well we need to put into our heart the aspect of the talking of trust in hashem that hashem is completely helping us so next what i want to do instead of reading the exact next section that he brings here is i actually want to read from the next pasuk in the gura in the mishleigh agro it's not cut directly exactly speaking about bittoken but i believe that there is a strong theme of the included in it as well and the reason that i want to read the next puzzle is because he just talked about bihal right we have to put our entire heart into holly becca your whole entire heart behol as i pointed out is the same letters as libera you put all of your heart you place all of your of your emotions into your beta and the next passage says it starts off with the same word in all of your ways you should know hashem he will make your path straight so what the grass says here i'd like to read as well because i think that it could be what he's saying is that when you place your heart completely into your beta into your focus on hashem to focus on god so the result is that hashem is in all of your paths but where does it come from what is that knowledge attained from so this is what the guru explains and i think that this is also connected to be taken because be talking it's not just acquired by working on it in our hearts by thinking about hashem that is important but it's also obtained through learning torah to try to understand hashem's will trying to understand what does hashem want from us right there are two parts there are two sides of the same coin which we spoke about previously regards to your shaman like the rabbinu yana spoke about rabbini said that you're a shaman level of fear of heaven is where we are having to talk and that's where we're talking the faith in hashem comes from but it's it's like uh we're walking up a ladder and the the top of the ladder has been talking about in order to get to up the ladder it needs to be here it means it needs to be through fear of heaven it needs to be by trying to do hashem's will so this this is an essential part of this concept says the girl derek who would go there's two words for path here the word is in all of your paths know him and then it says in hashem straight in your pants so what are the two aspects here what's a derek versus an aurach a derek says degra is something derek is something which is apparent which is out in the open rational model he explained this earlier so what it means to say is in all of your outward aspects in all of your actions that you do make sure you know hashem is there make sure you know hashem it means do things for the sake of heaven so there's one aspect which is hashem is the one helping me in all of my actions another aspect is i'm doing this the action that i'm taking i'm doing it for god's sake these are all ideas that come hand in hand if we don't have it's not enough to have you know ask god for what we want and expect it that's that's a level two but also that's the beat this is the relationship this is about me trying to do god's will trying to bring hashem into my life so i'm doing it at the shame shame i'm doing things for the sake of heaven whereas the word derek speaks about a concept which is a path which is out in the open so the word whereas hashem is now straightening my path and so something which is hidden which is not out in the open climber when it comes to the hidden aspects if i am trying to do things in my outer aspect and my actions i'm trying to infuse my actions with hashem faith in god i'm trying to infuse my actions with hashem i'm doing things for god's sake hashem will help me in my inner aspects it's much harder in my heart it's really continuation we're talking about doing it with all of my heart it's very hard to get my emotions on the side of my intellect but he's saying hashem will help you if you are trying your best in your outer aspects to include hashem to do things hashem to be talking to have faith to do things for the sake of heaven so hashem will straighten your inner aspects that you won't fall in oh so he says something very interesting the who it says what is the word so in the word who there are three letters hey and alef hey letter hey represents he's going to say the five books of the torah the valve represents the six books of the mishnah the hey and avov which are really the last two letters of hashem's name right you'd know those are the reveal at revealed aspects those are the outer aspects right we have the outer aspects of the torah which are the revealed things the the commandments the description of how to do them that's the torah itself and that's the mishnahs the god says that there are secrets hidden within the torah the soul of the torah that which is not revealed who is right you have a hay of and an aleph and the word who right the aleph represents the spiritual aspect the inner aspect of the torah right the word aleph is the same letters as the word pele which means wonder which means something which is beyond that which we understand it's the the secret aspect the inner aspect when you have the letter hey the v and the olive together so it teaches us about the aspect of the the inner aspect the hidden aspect of the torah and the hidden aspect of god's will and it's also talking about where it's revealed because in entire itself right we learn the torah we learn the five books of the five books of moses we learn the mishnah the teachings which explain and expound the tereshab alpe which explains all of that which is written but where is hashem in there where do we see god in there but when you have the hay and the aleph which is who which means hashem when you're pointing you're saying it is him it is he right so then god is revealing himself when we are doing things to shame shaman we're doing things for the sake of heaven when we are studying the torah the outer aspect of it the mishnah the gemara these outer aspects of the torah so then we are infused with the inner aspect which is the bitakan aspect the confidence in hashem the shame shamayim aspect of it doing things for god's sake we receive all of that this is what it means in all of your ways no hashem climber this means right what can we know where do we see hashem where can we know hashem it means we need to know hashem's will we need to read the torah we need to understand what is that hashem expects of us from the tarshish big sabbath all of these things will reveal to us these are the revealed aspects so then by doing this so then we get to have an understanding of hashem which it's impossible really to get to but hashem brings it in hashem gives us the inner aspect of the torah hashem gives us the inner aspect of the mitzvos the inner aspect of our actions which is the as we said to be talking aspect aspect doing things for the right reasons and also he's referring specifically to the sadness of the secrets of the torah the deeper aspects of the torah which we get as we develop in our relationship with hashem that's what i have for today and thank you so much for listening see you again next time
