How Much Do I Need To Work? (Bitachon #14)

[Music] so many people fail miserably in this regards when it comes to because they do not have they do not think that Hashem is watching them they do not think that is providing so they think they need to cheat the system they need to feel they need to build a Ponzi scheme like some religious people have unfortunately even in Lakewood there was a Ponzi scheme some years ago a few years ago there was a Ponzi scheme inside Lakewood Lakewood the most religious community in America has a had a Ponzi scheme inside it showing that unfortunately the is everywhere everywhere everywhere so a big reason for this is because we do not have we don't think that Hashem can provide us what we need and even what we want so we decide to help him but the reality is I learned from my R is that Hashem helps you as much as you believe in him you believe in him 100% he's going to help you 100% you believe in him 50% he's going to help you 50% how do you show you believe in hem 100% you go learn T 100% of your time you go learn to 100% of the time yeah but I'm gonna make money hey you said you believe in h 100% yeah but I get worried oh that means you don't believe 100% you believe less than 100% let's call it 50 let's call it 60 let's call it something else it's not 100% so whatever percentage you don't believe in hasem that's how much you have to work there was a article in uh I didn't read the whole article I just read the first couple of paragraphs so I don't know what the end is but the topic of discussion was in mishak magazine about whether b t need to go work or when should they go to work and really I hope that by the end of the article the rabbi got to the same concl usion because that would be actually that's what says the between that working 100% working is meant for some people part work part learning other people 100% learning some people that learned 100% failed and went uh started working some people started uh learning 100% and stayed learning 100% what does it have to do with has to do with who this person is what kind of he has and so on and so forth the point is is that when people ask what do you do you work for how you work for Depends you could even be working for while you work for UPS while you work for Coca-Cola while you work for uh the Yesa while you work for anything it all depends on how you do your work that's why the shabat 32A says there are a few questions that going to be asked to a person as soon as he gets to Sham the first question first question they're going to ask him first one is did you conduct your business withun meaning did you conduct your business with an understanding that is here watching you when all the time so before you decide to keep the extra change that the customer didn't notice that he gave you did you realize it did you give him the change back or he decided to pocket it because you figured ah if he didn't realize it that means he has plenty if he didn't realize it I didn't realize it did you understand that a who is watching when you decided to cheat the government and write that you're like half homeless even though you have plenty of money to to to survive you're half homeless because you want to get all these benefits that are at least 15 to $25,000 a year and you applied I'm half homeless with a half an arm and a half an eye cuz I want to get a bunch of stuff for free oh so you didn't realize that watches this too you know you're not allowed to lie you didn't realize that okay question number one failed so when a person has it's not oh I believe that hm is going to help me get to work on time yes that of course too but that's not thear thear is how do you conduct yourself even at your day job and this type of understanding can help a person arrive at a where he could literally become the mosenu of the generation without a question l [Music]
