Powerful Segulah For Parnassah | Rabbi Fischel Schachter

So here I am, donating money on the telephone for a Tzedaka, and I'm not very good at multitasking. And I hear the computerized voice saying: Okay, so you have donated 6 quadrillion, 5 billion, 3 million, 222 thousand dollars. Please press pound to accept. And I was, like, what did he just say? And then I realized what my mistake was. I wasn't listening to the instructions. Where they said, ‘punch in the amount’, I put in my 16-digit credit card number. Now, I could have said, ‘I accept the payment.’ It wouldn't have helped them much, but I never knew there really is a number ‘quadrillion’. I thought kids just made it up. You know, a quadrillion times I told you. There really is a quadrillion, a billion, a million and a thousand. Meaning there is a reward in this world that is beyond the numbers that we could imagine. My father was in Shanghai during the war, and they had, like, these human taxis that were carry you. There were four poles and you sat on a seat and there were runners. And the Bochurim didn't like using it, because you were, like, exploiting human labor. But the people said: No, use us. This is our Parnasa. So they had the local currency, which was worth pennies of pennies. And my father once went. He didn't have any of the local currency on him. So he took out an American dollar. An American dollar was six weeks of wages for them. But he said: Look, here it is. They refused to take it because they didn't know what it was. But the Ribono shel Olam has a reward for us that is beyond our imagination. It cannot be that we lose because we don't pursue a certain pleasure. The reward has to be not only 10 times the amount or 20 times the amount. It has to be totally in a different league. Things that we can't understand. You're struggling with your Parnasa? Yeshaya HaNavi says: Close your eyes from seeing the wrong things. You're going to stand higher above. You're going to have different kinds of numbers. You're going to be surrounded by a fortification of rocks, your bread is available and your water is available. That’s how Rashi explains it. Reb Tzadok says, we all come down with Parnasa for our life. The Satan comes and tries to penetrate into the storage tanks and our Parnasa leaks out. When a person solidifies his Shemiras Einayim, his כלי becomes waterproof. And not only that, it takes back what was lost. Hakadosh Baruch Hu replenishes it. The Makor of our Parnasa is in our eyes. And you know something? There are numbers out there that we can't even imagine.
