Hi, thanks for reaching out really appreciate the feedback. You're asking a very important question, you know if we're on the highest levels of Bittachan then Very nice, you know, even if Hashem doesn't grant us what we've been asking for We can still tap into the Emuna to the Bittachan. I know it's all for the best thing continue strong and feel you know Inspired to continue to Daven but you're asking what if you don't feel that inspiration and you know When you're asking when you're in a lot of pain from a certain area And you're Davening to Hashem kind of the only thing that gives you motivation to move forward is if Hashem Answers you in the way that you're asking So how does one continue when Hashem has not answered them in the way that they're asking Hashem to come through for them? And that's a very important question So ask Hashem to give me the right words to share a few perspectives Bezrafter Hashem the first thing as always is The opportunity to talk to Hashem Is something that we we naturally undermine just because it's not it doesn't feel like As powerful as other areas of our lives where we're actually doing something practical But the truth is that the answer to any and all important questions is always going to be that Talk to Hashem about that itself Meaning even if one's not feeling so motivated and inspired now But if one has if one is able to set up a daily commitment in a time where they are feeling more Inspired and motivated and now you have that you already have that space Let's say a person's decided 20 minutes a day 30 minutes a day they talk to Hashem regardless regardless what come what may I speak to Hashem. That's my my sacred dedicated time Then once I have that time, it's a lot easier to to try to open up and just to say Hashem I'm really disappointed and just be honest be honest and you're allowed to you're supposed to have that honest Sincere relation with Hashem. I'm feeling really really disappointed because I really I'm asking you for something I'm not feeling motivated inspired and you know that when I don't get what you if you don't give me what I'm asking for It's going to be really hard for me to continue and I'm begging you Please please help me to feel the motivation and an inspiration that I shouldn't give up and help me In general to build my money to build my bitachan, you know to get to a place that I'm always I realize that you're always listening to me at You know and I can always reach out to you. Well, so at the same time Hashem, please help me Right now that you didn't give me the things that that I wanted that I'm governing for In the way that I desired Please help me Hashem to still feel inspired to continue to have bitachan and to hope in you You know to hope in because this is what you command us to do And I'll just share a few so that's the first thing to come to Hashem himself The second thing is also just learning what actually a money and bitachan The true perspective is actually In truth about There are countless verses in the Torah throughout the Torah where Hashem tells us, please Hope in me And he doesn't come through hope again. Daven to me. Have bitachan. Have a money and there's many many many many many others And that being the case, it's very clear that Hashem's perspective is that he wants us to have bitachan in him That's all that he wants. He wants us to have bitachan in him. He wants us to hope to him He wants us to daven to him And he wants us specifically when he doesn't come through for us to to go back to him and come again and again and again And when we build that perspective and we realize that's what Hashem wants We we we build the picture of real Real truth Hashem's truthful perspective on what's actually happening because as this pharem explain Regardless of what we want in this world Person needs whatever situation a person needs paramos a person's having a problem relationship problem person having a family problem Whatever might be a person having a very deep health problem Regardless of what we're looking the salvation that we're looking for But much much much more than any reward that Hashem is going to give us in terms of the salvation that we're looking for Is the reward that we're going to get in the next world for just reaching out to Hashem? And although that takes that takes belief that takes a sense of Building our belief that there is a next world and that we really it's all going to play out there But the more we learn about that and try and internalize that the more we'll appreciate that actually devining to Hashem And hoping to Hashem and having been talking into Hashem is much less about getting what we need than it is About just reaching out to him because again He could in once Hashem could in one second send us our salvation But sometimes specifically as the Gomorrah's teach and the many Torah passages like for example the imahis They couldn't have children Hashem could have easily made them have children So why didn't he give them the children as Hashem as the as a Torah passages teach? Specifically because Hashem wanted their Tfilas their prayers Did he give them a difficult situation that they now need the salvation? It's not the other other way around It's not that we have a difficult situation that we need a salvation And now we turn to Hashem and the Tfilah is almost the means to getting what we need It's exactly the other way around the ends is the Tfilah the highest reward that we're going to get is for the Tfilah itself For the bitachan for the Emuna way greater than all the money in the world way greater than any salvation in the world way greater than anything And when we appreciate that we realize that going back to Hashem is Is is is much is is the goal is is the reward because that's going to ultimately get us everything You know, so again when one's not feeling inspired and motivated It's hard to have that perspective But the more we learn about these things the Hashem's real perspective the more we're able to retain that That perspective even when we're not feeling inspired and motivated. So those are two things The first thing is to delve into Hashem to help us to feel motivated and inspired You know and one can always go back to that and secondly to learn to learn more about and when I'm be talking every day And specifically to focus on this element that it's not about Receiving what we want necessarily of course that is easy for Hashem to do that is easy But to appreciate if Hashem loves me and he can't give me everything and everything at any moment Why is he not giving this to me? It's not always like unfortunately the the wrong picture that is painted sometimes because a person Just committing tremendous sins and Hashem doesn't like a person. God forbid. Hashem loves us more than we love ourselves Hashem wants to give us everything in the world as many many Torah sources teach and that being the case why isn't he giving this to me? And maybe he's just giving me an opportunity to to build a relationship even more He's giving me a space because when we think about it when things are just smooth and we're not lacking anything It's often difficult to take that step to say, you know I'm going to go make very special dedicated time to Speak to Hashem to build a relationship. But whereas as the svarim teach um Many svarim teach when when Hashem gives us the challenge and the opportunity that is Meaning Hashem says it's a challenge That is now the opportunity to apply a bitachan to apply our money, etc So those are some things that we can just, you know, take to heart a little bit But ultimately it goes always goes back to square one It's talking to Hashem asking to Hashem because you know, sometimes if a person's so unmotivated They've done it to Hashem so so many times. It's just they're just unmotivated to continue So what do you what does one do? You can have the greatest perspectives in one's knowledge Ultimately it boils down t

And just one other thing I'd like to add there's a very big difference between knowing Emuna and truly internalizing Emuna as we've taught many times and you know This is another example. The Pasuk tells us in Moa Anochive Tsara That when a person is feeling pain Hashem is feeling that pain together with the person and as this pharem teaches Hashem feels the pain much more Much much much more than we feeling our own pain when we are feeling pain Hashem is experiencing Extraordinately excruciating pain, you know, and that's the way that we relate to the shchina the shchina in this world Is it's just feeling our pain way beyond anything that we can ever imagine and that being the case that when we going through Some a form of suffering and Hashem hasn't come through for us Hashem is begging Please please all I want is to give you exactly what you need But again, there's certain there's certain it's hard for us to understand this concept because we might just say But Hashem can do anything while you're not giving it to me There are certain rules and regulations of Hashem created the world that he can't give it yet He can't unless a person prays more or does something else or whatever might be and Hashem is just to appreciate Hashem is with us in the pain Hashem is really a Hashem is feeling that pain together with us And when we realize he's there with us that will motivate us To reach out to him to ask Hashem. I want to come out of this pain I want you to help me and I know you was from so many psukim It's not it's not that you just I just have to accept this that it's all for the best There's an element of that sometimes to tap into but you want me to experience things in a sweet good way in this world There's so many sperm teachers so many psukim teachers and that being the case Hashem you're in pain I'm in pain, but you're an even more pain in me and that should motivate me to say please Hashem Please take me out of this pain because please send my salvation You know because I know that you can do it But at the same time you created the world in a way that there are certain systems And you have to keep to those systems for the sake of the bigger picture However, that works beyond our understanding But at the same time as him you put it in the nature of the spiritual world That if I dive in for something and I have been talking in the moon and you can absolutely send my salvation according to Against all odds against all statistics. I'm asking you Hashem, please for my sake and for your sake. Please send me my salvation

Just perhaps some ideas, you know, just to focus on when dealing with this challenging situation. To remind ourselves, you know, on the one hand, we're human beings, and we are allowed to and supposed to feel pain and emotions, etc. Because Hashem made us that way. On the other hand, just to sometimes remind ourselves of the point of everything. What is the point of this world? Why do we exist? Ultimately, everything comes to an end. Everything, everything. This whole world is very, very temporary for every single one of us. We've got to constantly remind ourselves of what's it all about. And as the messiah Hashem teaches us, it's all very, very briefly an overview. It's all about, A, Hashem created the world to give us his unlimited and ending goodness. B, that ultimately takes place in the next world. Not in this world, in the next world. C, we're in this world for the only reason that Hashem wants us to have an opportunity to earn our place for ourselves in the next world. Because when you earn something for yourself, it's a much greater pleasure than if it was just given to you as a free gift. That's the only reason we're in this world, otherwise Hashem would have just placed us in the next world. And finally, what is the main way that we achieve our eternity? That we achieve our ticket to eternity. That we gain our place, that we fulfill our mission in this world in order to gain our place in the next world. And as all the Spharium teach, the summary of everything is one word. It's emuna. Emuna, emuna, emuna. That's all that it is. That's the summary of everything. So a real success story in this world is succeeding in emuna and all of its branches. Be it doing our best to learn Torah, be it doing our best to fulfill the mitzvahs as best as we can, be it doing our best to constantly do our best to have a relationship with Hashem, to reach out to Him, doing our best that when we have a problem, we call out to Hashem and ask Him for our help. Hashem, please, I'm currently going to this challenging situation. You know, please, can you make me better? Please, can you make the process go smoothly? Please, Hashem, help me with a way, you know, and doing that. The ultimate prize, although we of course wish for sweet things, we wish for the Hashem that we get better. And then it goes smoothly the whole process. But much, much, much greater reward than that is just having the mindset and approach of emuna. Just being in the boat of reaching out to Hashem and talking to Hashem and doing that is ultimately the greatest reward of all. That's going to be because all the money in the world, all the health in the world, all the any reward in the world cannot come even slightly close as all this far and teach to one moment of the pleasure Hashem will reward us within the next world. And again, the main way to achieve that reward is by succeeding in our emuna in this world. And our focus, especially when one is going through a challenging situation, that is, as Rabbi Neon writes, that is specifically the time now to try to capitalize on the opportunity to pounce on emuna. Because usually it's not, you know, when things are going smooth in life, it's not always so easy to need Hashem and to really, really be sincere. But when I really need Hashem, I'm stuck now. You know, as the Gomorrah says by the emas, Hashem specifically gave the emas the challenge and he said they really wanted children. But he didn't say that, oh, you don't have children so daven to me. That's not the way it works. It's the other way around. I really want a relationship with you, so I'm going to give you a challenge and it's going to be really hard for you so that you can have the opportunity to reach out to me. The same way with each of one of us, we go through the tremendous struggles that we go through. The whole purpose is not for the sake of just coming out to struggle. That is something we don't for them. That is almost the methodology that Hashem uses in order to give us the opportunity to build a relationship but just to remember, as long as we are reaching out to Hashem, as long as we are incorporating Hashem in our lives, you are the greatest success story. You are the greatest success story fulfilling your mission in this world, much greater than any other success stories of the Western world, of the normal way people view the world. This is the real success story. This is the real purpose of our lives, to really succeed in Emunah and Vitachan and everything that it has to offer. And simply speaking, the most basic expression of Emunah, just talking to Hashem, anything that's on your heart, Hashem, I really want you to help me. I don't know how to come out of this. I don't know how to cope with the anxiety that the situation is triggering and everything else that comes to us in a natural way. Bezrat Hashem, we should all be zoche to just a full slamer to everything that we need. And anyone, all of Amisrael, not just the Daven for ourselves, but also the Daven for all of Amisrael, so many people going through so many things in so many different ways, be it Paranosa, be it Shalom Baiz, be it health, and so many, so many other areas. We should just daven all of Amisrael. We should receive everything that they need at the same time. We should really, really daven for the real Ga'ulah, the ultimate Ga'ulah, that we should see very speedily nowadays.

The Muna B'itachan is available to all of us. B'itachan is very clear and all the Makoras. If you have B'itachan, it's an axiom Hashem created that it has to work. It works, works. You have, if you have sincere, with the condition that it's sincere, if you have sincere B'itachan today you're getting a million dollars, obviously it's hard to have that sincerity. But it works. There's nothing in the world that can get in the way of that to the point that Hashem, the only way Hashem can get in the way of that is he can remove a person's b'khira to have B'itachan. But if a person has b'khira to have B'itachan and they have B'itachan, then B'itachan absolutely works regardless of anything else and Hashem will make it as if that is the best possible outcome. It's unbelievable, fascinating, fascinating as we see in all the Makoras. The question is, how come some people have inspired to have B'itachan? That's the question. How do you get inspired to have B'itachan? And some of the ideas you touched on, you have to have the Muna. You have to know about a certain Hashem has no limitations and then you can have B'itachan for that. But there's other things also that enlighten us. For example, like a person has a tremendous mitzvah. Sometimes it creates an aura in a person. And when a person has that aura, then you're flying. Then that gives you the power to have B'itachan. And there are other examples. For example, like if you've seen the war in Tanakh, they brought the Vara along, the Vara Navya. Why did they bring her to the war? They said, her husband said to her, I'm not going to the war unless you come with them. The question is why? She was not going to fight the war. But one explanation is that he needed her to be there to be able to bounce off her B'itachan, her schusim. And that will give them the schusim to have B'itachan to win the war. So sometimes you need... And that's the difference why the Midrash says, Afil-Rashah b'itach vashem, even if a person is a Rasha, he's on his way to steal, it's brought in the name of the Grah. He's on his way to steal, he has B'itachan, Hashem will help him steal. Fascinating idea, lots to discuss there. But the bottom line is B'itachan works. However, the question is, but how does that work? And the answer is, meaning how come does Hashem really want to have B'itachan? If he somehow does chuvan at the moment and has B'itachan, that's amazing. But usually a Rasha, even though it will work in theory, but it's more of a theory, usually a Rasha will not have B'itachan. And usually the Tzadik will be the one having B'itachan because he's inspired to have B'itachan.

So it's so important as part of our fillers that we ask Hashem to give us that inspiration to be able to have Bitachan. It's not about having Emunah and Bitachan, meaning it's a basic axiom. Bitachan does work. But the challenge is finding the motivation and inspiration to be able to have Bitachan. So of course, as you say, the starting point is learning about Emunah and trying to incorporate the values of Emunah in my life. Once I know without a shadow of a doubt that Hashem can help me, that I'm not limited by natural limitations and statistics, etc. Once I internalize that, then I can start working on actually relying on Hashem in a practical way to come through for me in that way. Whereas if I don't know that, then it's almost impossible to have Bitachan for that because I don't even know that that exists. So the starting point is internalizing Hashem is everything. Hashem doesn't need his stateless. Hashem doesn't need me to help him to do things. Hashem does things exclusively. Yes, there's a mitzvah to do stateless, which has nothing to do with the actual result that Hashem sends me. The results in my life are exclusively orchestrated by Hashem. When I have that perspective, the true perspective, then I'm able to start working on Bitachan. Let me rely on Hashem. Let me actually rely on him for my needs. Let's say a person cannot do his stateless anymore in their situation, or they don't know what his stateless is, or whatever it might be in a person's situation. But now, to what extent can they place Bitachan? Can I really place Bitachan that Hashem is going to give me a million dollars? Can I really do that? Is that absurd? People are going to laugh at me. If a person builds that emunah inside, of course, who's the one who gives money in this world? If it's only Hashem exclusively, and all the money in the world is like nothing to Hashem. So then when I build that emunah more and more and more and more, then I can start working on, let me actually practically rely on Hashem and have that Bitachan. But there's other areas also that, as we spoke about, that give a person the motivation and the inspiration to be able to have Bitachan. And that's why when a person does mitzvahs, they get the light, the aura of a certain mitzvah, and suddenly they're feeling inspired. That's a time where suddenly a person will almost, in an easier way, be able to connect to the concept of Bitachan and to rely on Hashem in a more sincere way. In the same way, a person's learning Torah. It's brought in the same, in the name, I think this is brought in the name of the Grah. Or was it someone, I think it's the name of the Grah, that before a person's going to make a decision, what they should do is they should sit down and should learn for like two hours. If they're about to make an important decision, just learn like two hours of Torah. Why? It's putting you in a certain space that you're going to have a certain light of connection to Hashem. As Ramchal says, Torah is something so powerful, it's like Hashem himself, it's the light of Hashem that Hashem chose to put in the Torah. So when you're learning Torah, you're not just learning information, you're literally tapping into Hashem's highest light. So again, this is just another mode of when a person wants to have Bitachan, you're learning Torah, you're getting a certain light. And now that's going to inspire you to be able to have Bitachan. You're doing fulfilling mitzvahs, you're trying to stay away from Avera's and all these different areas that we have in Yiddishchait. All those things are ultimately the stepping stones to be able to put us in a space where we're able to have Bitachan. Then we have to take the next step. And yes, we have to work on our Bitachan, we have to learn about Bitachan, we have to ask Hashem to give us Bitachan. But I think in addition to all of that, in addition to the whole Bitachan journey, is the pre-Bitachan journeys. Ask Hashem, Hashem, please help me to find the areas in my life that can give me the spiritual light to be motivated, to be inspired. When a person is flying in the inspiration and the motivation, the sky is the limit. Then I'm with Hashem, then I'm unstoppable, nothing can stop me. I'm with Hashem and I've got the confidence that He'll give me everything that I need. But to get to that place of that inspiration and motivation is not an easy thing. So that's something that we need to be able to, like I say, focus on the other areas also, the Torah, the mitzvahs, and the other particular things that we have that bring us the ore in our lives. But in addition to that, to focus on davening to Hashem, not only for the Muna and Bitachan itself, but also for the pre-Muna and Bitachan condition, which is just being inspired and motivated to be able to have that light that I can rely on Hashem, that Hashem is unstoppable, that Hashem is unlimited, that they all know that all the false voices that I might have heard until this day of the Western world, the crooked way of thinking, of you have to work in the normal way, the upper world operates, etc., and you've got to go only according to the limitations of X, Y, and Z. That's not how it works. Hashem is unlimited. Yes, we have a mitzvah of Ishtar, but let's not get confused. Let's not use the mitzvah of Ishtar as an excuse to not have a Muna and Bitachan. God forbid, yes, Bitachan, we have to realize, Bitachan is our responsibility. We don't like it to be our responsibility. It's not as easy as to say, let me just accept everything is for the best and leave it in Hashem's hands. Whatever he's going to do is for the best. Then I don't have to be responsible in a sense. Then I can just accept everything, whatever Hashem says is for the best. Whereas when I adopt the approach of Bitachan, I have to now take responsibility. People talk about taking responsibility, and sometimes having Bitachan and not doing Ishtar is not taking responsibility. Real taking responsibility is having an approach of Bitachan, is I am responsible now to make things happen. If I don't work on my Muna and Bitachan, like the Chhovasalava says, I am going to be under the auspices of the other things that I'm relying on. Like the Chhovasalava says, you're either relying on Hashem or you're relying on something else. Human nature is to be relying on something. I'm relying on somebody who's helping me out. I'm relying on the boss. I'm relying on the doctor. I'm relying on something if I'm not relying on Hashem. Or I'm relying on myself. Whereas when I choose to have Bitachan, I'm relying on Hashem. So whose auspices do I want to be under? The bosses? The doctors? My own ones with the limitations of nature and circumstances? Or do I want to be under Hashem's limitations? So we must, God forbid, be very careful not to use Ishtar as an excuse to remove our responsibility of moving forward and taking responsibility to have Bitachan, to say it's in my hands. I have to work on Muna and Bitachan. I then have to take the next step, to rely on Hashem, to practice Bitachan, using practical reliance on him, taking different steps to do certain actions that work on Bitachan muscle, that actually to take steps to put in more time every day, to dove into Hashem, to ask Him, to give me the motivation for Bitachan, to give me the Bitachan itself, rather than just placing on Hashem and almost just losing the lack... forgoing the responsibility that we have, that we're supposed to take responsibility. To be Tachan, to the motivation and inspiration to live with Bitachan and truly incorporate Hashem in our lives.

So in terms of what you mentioned that in a sense when We relate to a studless in the way that the Mercedes-AMG really brings it down is that it's just the tax And just like when you pay a tax payment. It's got absolutely nothing to do with bringing more income in so too And we make a studless. So for example an example you're giving I'm going to speak to my boss in a sense if I Compare it to like being like a tax payment that it's got absolutely nothing to do with bringing in my income It's hard for me almost to relate to doing that is studless Because in a sense it feels like you know, it feels so so dire so Disconnected from seeing any result So whilst on the one hand as as you pointed out beautifully whilst on the one hand one has to be absolutely clear That it is only a shem that send us that sends us everything and I shem can do it in many ways And if something would happen to this bus or this job opportunity wouldn't be available for me anymore Etc. Etc. I shem as many other ways that he can provide for me And you know on the one hand having that loud and clear at the same time as you mentioned so beautifully one can certainly have the perspective that a shem is gonna send me my Brocha and Yeshua and salvation and everything I need my Paranossa Through this particular bus and when I go and speak to him the way you put it so beautifully is you're almost viewing it as if you're talking to a Shem obviously understanding that the bus is not a shem Whilst at the same time you're almost directing you you're looking at the bus and you're talking to the bus But you almost feel like in a sense like you're talking to a shem because you understand that the shell that this is just a complete Shaliyah complete messenger of a shem and that is so beautifully illustrated in a sense That makes it easier to relate to the his status that we have to be involved in because absolutely a shem controls and runs this world usually And under the laws of completely under the laws of nature and actually that's what makes it so hard about his status that it Almost looks like we are running the show because a shem covers up the miracles so much really what's happening It's completely him providing with no intervention from anyone else But it really looks like the bus is providing for me so So so so that's the way that a shem covers it up and obviously in essence We know that it is exclusively a shem providing whilst at the same time it can be Knowing that it can actually be very difficult to relate to your status like why should I even go speak to the bus? At the same time a shem does give us a mitzvah to do status and be involved in the physical world and Do natural things the way that normally work the way the world normally works in order to In order for him to the way people Sometimes it's broke down in order to make a clear vessel for a shem to be able to shine his broker on not that He needs that vessel, but that's usually the way that he operates. So that's certainly a valid way of Understanding his status that has shem is coming through for me a shem is coming through that particular person or avenue And I understand that it's completely a shem and I'm I'm going and I'm doing there the normal things that are done in this situation And I you know, but at the same time I understand that it's not completely Disconnected it's not like I'm speaking to the boss and it's literally got nothing to do with bringing my money In essence that is how it is but in order to relate to it is status better I can understand that I'm speaking to the boss and by doing so I'm related I'm tapping into a shem's shaliah, which this is the way or this is a way that a shem might Send my paranoia and my eschewer through however it becomes very subtle and the reason that In the shire and we emphasize so much the mesil as your sharia man how it's completely disconnected is because it becomes very subtle You could have so you could literally have two people where they seem so similar on the outside But on the inside in their moon. It's literally polar opposite extremes, you know because when for example if a person gets fired from the job and They're really working on their moon, and they're having their moon in mindset, etc So obviously human beings we're gonna feel some anxiety some stress, etc But you can have somebody who also acknowledges, you know what? It's got nothing to do with the boss anyway And a shem will send me another avenue and they'll feel some sense of calm and at the highest levels of them Well, they'll feel complete calm whereas at another extreme you'll have someone else who will tell you I know It's not the boss. It's a hundred percent a shem, but then when they lose their job They're literally a hundred percent anxious and that is a bit of an indication that Although they're meaning well and they're trying to believe that everything is a shem's hands But in truth they're believing that it is in the boss's hands So it's a very subtle line of Understanding that this boss is got nothing to do with calling any shots in my life And it's a hundred percent a shem not ninety nine percent a shem and one percent the boss It's a hundred percent a shem and a shem is now choosing that he should be the funnel He should be the shaliach to send my my brooch And then yes, I can go and speak to him and do what I have to and it will come through him So I can relate to it in that way whilst at the same time to keep as you've so beautifully said to keep the perspective It's a hundred percent a shem And if this shaliach would not be available anymore such as if I wouldn't have this job anymore I feel the same calm again That's the highest level human beings that we can feel a bit of anxiety because if that's natural Settable we got to work towards getting to that highest level of I feel completely calm because it's going to do with him I say we'll just find the next shaliach now and So so as you say so beautifully and we got to understand that everything is a hundred percent a shem Also at the same time it's sometimes difficult to relate to your status in that way in Practical established because if it's got nothing to do with this boss What am I even doing with him so we can and have a license to understand that? He is the shaliach that a shems appointed to send us The brooch and and that they were supposed to receive whilst at the same time to be very very strong in our Belief and reminders and work here and I'm gonna be talking that in essence. It is only a shaliach Which means I must not lead to flattery to this boss I must never ever compromise on my standards just because I'm trying to impress him etc I must not I must work towards not feeling anxiety if this would not be Anxiety and fear if this would not be An obvious avenue anymore etc and the like and the other things that that I'm gonna be talking lead to but It's amazing that you're working on this and its direction We should all be searching to succeed in our emunna There's that the shema be tough and and also to know how to apply status the bottom line It's not simple It's that this is one of the hardest mitzvahs because this is exactly the problem on the one hand We got it's a shem on the other hand I shem gives us very very difficult mitzvah and some specifically explain the reason we have a mitzvah This status is to give us the test to acknowledge that it's not the guy It's not the boss who's helping me a shem gives us the hardest mitzvah get involved with the boss make it Look like you got to try hard to make the business work But now know that it's got nothing to do with the boss some people put it as 99 percent of a shem and 1% me and the boss No, no, no, that's complete avoid Azara. It's a hundred percent a shem and they're and and and this is just a shaliah That is expressing a shems being a shems funnel, you know So but at the same time it's hard to find the right line of how much is still is to put how do I how do? How

So let me just start off with my personal story. I grew up pretty modern. And then after school, I became more serious. And I started discovering more about Judaism, Yiddish guide, Tara. And I kind of was very, very immersed to the point that I continued those religious studies till the age of 25, because that's seven years. When I hit age 25, I got one of these viruses. I won't go into the details of it now because it's not important. But I used to be like strong foot guy, like not having to train, did all the marathons type of thing. You know, that type of guy. Suddenly I hit 25 and like my whole system just got whacked from barely needing to sleep. Suddenly needing to sleep for many, many hours from like feeling good all the time to like anxiety all the time, heart palpitations, headaches, and from being like vibrant and successful to barely being able to like give somebody a smile. When that all happened, I started really questioning what is the whole purpose of life? What do we do to get a real, real deep, meaningful fulfillment in our lives in this world? Any question you guys want to answer in your lives, how do you make that decision? Do you think logically what's the best way to assess the situation, the pros and the cons? Get a second opinion. You're asked for advice. Your gut instinct. Can you hear that with all those modes of decision making, is that susceptible to making a mistake? Have you ever made a mistake before? I make mistakes every single day, lots. So that being the case, how do I know when I'm making a decision that it's for sure the correct decision? So when it comes to vanilla chocolate, okay, you make the wrong decisions, not the end of the world. When it comes to like, what's the purpose of my life? And like, this is how you're going to live your whole life and everything you do in your life is going to be according to these values. You want to get it right. So how do we know that we're getting it right? If God himself would come to you and you hear his voice and he tells you this is your mission in the world. Is there any better decision making mechanism than God himself telling you what to do? You'd agree that that would be the best decision making mechanism? If God tells you to do something, is there more of a chance of you making a mistake with your own brain or of God making a mistake with his brain when he makes a decision? Hashem speaks to us today in the form of the Torah who says, how do we prove the Torah? Good question. And it's a whole discussion in its own right. If you've come to a place and understand that Hashem gave the Jewish people the Torah and that is how he speaks to us, you understand that we're gonna get our information and answer to questions from the Torah. According to God's perspective, what is the point of God creating the world? Let me ask you a question. Can God exist without you and me existing in this world? Just to say for a moment, I wouldn't be here in this world. Would God suddenly like disappear or would he be managed okay? He can manage without us. So why would he go ahead and create a world when he doesn't in his essence need us? Step number one guys, Hashem created the world for one reason. This is unanimous in all the Torah teachings. Hashem had a desire to give to us. If you're ever having doubts about what's the point of your existence, why do you exist? Don't forget step number one of what all Torah teachings teach us. God created the world for one reason, to give you pleasure. So the question is, what do we do with the Holocaust? What do you do with October 7th? What do you do with your own daily struggles that you're dealing with? Emotionally, physically on many levels. If that's the case that Hashem created us just to give us pleasure, why is it that there's so much pain and suffering in the world on a global scale and a personal scale? Point number two, the ultimate destination of where we're gonna reach out pleasure is not this world, it's the afterlife. Period. Do you know the Gomorrah's and many Torah sources say if you could try and measure for a moment the greatest possible pleasure in the world that is within your imagination? Now imagine that for 120 years without stopping for one second. Do you know that many Torah sources teach that one second of pleasure in the next world is way greater than 120 years straight of pleasure in this world? But it's not so motivating when we can't really relate to what the next world is exactly. Whichever way you're gonna slice it, you become a trillionaire, you get whatever you want in the world, whatever you get, you're always gonna have a question. It always comes to an end and there's always pain with that. Families are torn apart because somebody dies. Whichever way you slice it, that's always gonna lead you to the same question. So yes, there is pleasure in this world but it always hits a little bit of a brick wall eventually. If Hashem created us for the sole purpose of unconditional pleasure, where is unconditional pleasure in October 7 or in personal anxiety, death, and the many other things that people go through? So how can it be that we do endure suffering? Where does it ultimately take place of our eternal pleasure in the afterlife? If that's the case that Hashem just wants to give me eternal pleasure and that takes place ultimately in the next world, way more than this world, why didn't he just place us in the next world? Step number three, the only reason Hashem placed us in this world is to have the opportunity to earn eternity for yourself, forever. Imagine I come tonight and say, guys, I just won the lottery. I've got enough here, a million dollars for each person. I'm just gonna give you. You're probably pretty happy. However, if after you start your own business, you hit some difficult times and then you hit some successful times and eventually you make your own million dollars, which of the two scenarios are gonna be more fulfilling? A, I got it as a gift. B, I worked hard, failed and eventually earned the success for myself. Everyone's gonna say, B, I worked for it. It wasn't just a gift that came without any toil. That's what Hashem's doing for us with the opportunity of this world. We're in this world to have the opportunity to earn eternity for ourselves because when you earn it, it's way more pleasurable than if you're just given it as a free gift. We can have enjoyment. We're supposed to have enjoyment. It's a mitzvah to enjoy this world through all the different pleasures within a certain boundary, but with tremendous, tremendous pleasures that the world has to offer. The way greater than any pleasure in this world is the eternal pleasure of eternity that we have. We're in this world ultimately to earn eternity for ourselves. We're now moving to part number four and this is really the whole point of the discussion. This is where it becomes so much more practical. What is the way that we earn eternity for ourselves? To summarize this whole discussion in one word, the whole point of your life, which is ultimately the way you earn the next world, is one word, emuna. Do you know what emuna is? Emuna is very simple. Hashem created you to have a personal relationship with you. A basic expression of emuna is just talking to God in English in your own words. I'm not even extending this discussion to the learning of Torah and mitzvahs, which will obviously be branches of emuna because if I believe in God and He tells me to do certain things, then I should aim to eventually do things that He would want me to do. That's not even the discussion now. Something which is actually much deeper than all those topics. The whole purpose of this world is emuna. Very simply, emuna is one take home. Bring God into your life. Nobody needs to see you. Nobody needs to know what you're doing. Do you know how to say, God, I'm struggling. A certain family member right now is ill and the doctors have given up. Do I just go and become de

So the practical take home, which I encourage everybody, something that one can do already today, everybody in their own way. And if you're already doing it, we can all inspire ourselves and speak to myself to do more. If I believe in Hashem and I wake up sick in the morning and I'm not feeling well, is my first reaction? Let me run to the medicine cabinet or let me text the doctor. I'm not saying we don't have to do that. That's another discussion, how much is stateless? We have courses also on our website. Is stateless is a course. How much is stateless is a person obligated to make and there's different lines for different people, what one would be obligated to do. But the bottom line, according to all opinions, is one has to believe that it's only Hashem, ultimately, who runs the show. And if I believe Hashem can hear me and I believe Hashem is my only true helper, certainly more than the doctor. Has the doctor made a mistake before? I'm not saying one shouldn't go to the doctor. But what is one's first reaction? Is it, let me run to the doctor so I can get help? Or is it, you know what? Let me take a moment and talk to the creator of the world who can actually see me, who can hear me, who can help me, who loves me, who wants to help me. And again, that's the direction that we take. In our platforms with Emuna and Mitachan based just on classic Torah sources, I'm connected to many different types in the Hasidish world, in the Litvish world. But ultimately, what I've tried to do is take from everywhere, from the Gomorrah, from the Midrashim, down to the Reshoinim, down to the Akhronim, down to the Lado authorities. And just making a picture was so clear and obvious. Many sources in our book transform your Emuna in just 60 seconds a day. Already from the Chumash you see how they would just talk to Hashem in their own words. And sometimes a person feels, you know, but I'm not on that level. You look at these other great people that maybe seem like they're thriving in the Yiddish kind and they can be close to Hashem. Me, look what I'm doing. Look at the sin I'm committing right now. Nobody's saying we shouldn't work on that. We shouldn't try harder. We certainly should have our plans and aspirations in what we're doing in general, in our Yiddish kind. However, to realize the Ramban and many others, they teach the verse says, betach ba'ashem ba'asei tov, two separate components. It says trust in Hashem, comma, and do good. Two separate things. Yes, we have to try to do good, but regardless of our spiritual level, we have the opportunity to connect to Hashem in the highest possible ways. Just to realize the tremendous potency and power that we have with betachah, with tfilah. I challenge you to ask me a question. Not me, this is not me. That's why I can say this confidently. If it was coming from my own information, I sound like an arrogant freak. If I'm coming from Hashem's Torah perspective, it doesn't actually bother me what anybody says because I know this is the absolute truth. I challenge you to find me a real question where the answer is not Emuna. And again, the most practical application of Emuna is just simply talk to Hashem. So any question you have, be it a relationship issue, a financial issue, a health issue, or be it my lack of connection to the Torah to spirituality to Hashem himself. If one has passed the first main barrier of, do I believe in Hashem? Okay, I believe there's a God. And I believe he can hear me. I believe there's a God in the world. If one has passed that barrier, which is relevant to many, many people, then any situation one has in one's life, the answer is always talk to Hashem. All that is important in the world is to believe in you, is to have Emuna and to follow your guidelines. However, Hashem, my dear father, I just wanna reach out to you and beg you, please help me because I'm not feeling inspired. And I actually don't even feel like speaking to you today. So please, can you help me? And again, just to digest that doing something like that is in the shlas words, in the Sefer Kharim, seven times stronger than even the value of Torah learning and not to underplay the value of Torah learning, but truly underpin what it means to talk to Hashem. The power of Torah learning is equal to all of the mincefers, all the Tzadakkah in the world, all the tzitzis, all the lighting candles, all the kosher, all the everything Torah learning. That's what we taught in a simple Mishnah. And seven times the potency of that is simply speaking to Hashem. Thank you so much everybody for listening, wishing everybody so much success in their Emuna, in their relationship with Hashem and ultimately fulfilling your highest purpose in this world, which will ultimately be the only true ingredient that leads to a life of sincere happiness in a peace and feeling connected to oneself, to one's purpose, to one's meaning in life and fulfilling one potential in this world. Thank you so much.

Hi, thanks for reaching out. The truth of the matter is that I cannot respond to your message appropriately because whatever one is going to say in terms of perspectives, etc. The amount of pain that you have gone through just in just in from what I know from what you've expressed in this message is beyond words and there's nothing ready to say and the bottom line after everything is said and done. Yeah, we can try to share perspectives just to encourage one another and to try to gain clarity in what does it mean to live according to the values of I'm going to be talking at the same time when one's going through so much pain we can just do it for one another. Bejrat Hashem, that all this pain should end very soon and we should all merit to see Hashem's revealed sweet essence, how he truly is in his essence, but unfortunately when a person is going through so much pain, it's so difficult. Bejrat Hashem, which you see very sweet times going forward so I'd just like to share a few perspectives based on what you've written again being the based on what you've written your message being the victim of someone who was an abuser in terms of whilst you were married as well as even whilst thereafter when you got divorced and you were really abused and lost complete custody from your children and trying to protect them etc. Which again, whatever I'm going to say is just the pain is beyond words and all I can do is pray for you Hashem should just help you in your situation Bejrat Hashem So the question that you're asking just in terms of sharing a bit of perspective is how do you explain what your children ask you now that they don't want to pray to Hashem anymore because they claim that he doesn't listen anyway because look what happened in your situation when you're praying for things and it seems seems like apparently obvious that Hashem was not listening to you So and other people are also saying, you know driving this point home Again, this is such a terribly terribly incorrect approach that God forbid people could use in an abusive way even to further the abuse to Rub the point home to see look look what a terrible failure You've been God forbid and rather than you see Hashem doesn't listen to you sometimes as the way you put it Yeah, sometimes Hashem steps back and allows people to do terrible things That's that's that that's that approach is Completely missing the point of everything we're meant to be in this world It's just remind ourselves from the starting point. Obviously. Nobody wants to go to this pain in any way whilst at the same time the point of our lives is not Even to be married. It's not even to be successful in areas as people see sex as successful such as Relationships as successful in our relationship successful in finances, etc What it means to be successful is to fulfill your mission in this world And there's only one perspective which is for sure the truth of what is our mission in this world And who tells us that Hashem explicitly tells us what our mission is in the Torah to have a Muna and be token in Hashem And that means that someone who's including Hashem in every aspect of their life Well, let me say it differently. Someone is doing their best to bring Hashem in their life into their life as much as possible They are being a real success story much more than other people that on the outside might seem like they're so successful With their relationships with their Paranossa, etc. So just the fact that you're trying to bring Hashem into your life And you're trying to include Hashem and you're asking these questions and you're trying to live by the values of a Muna Shows that you are tremendously tremendously successful person tremendous success story because this is what truly Determines our success. We must not forget. We must not forget. It's difficult to relate to this But it's the truth and people hide from this truth, but it's going to come real It's going to it's going to come to fruition one day this this this this absolute truth Life is very short at a maximum 120 it comes to an end after that we go to eternity Person who has a difficult time understanding or believing that there is the life of the death There is a lot to work on to to really understand the basics of the ABC of a Muna because really the ABC of a moon Is that life really starts off the death? It's not about this world. What's 120 years in comparison to eternity? It is so so small when a person has that comparison that when a person has that perspective that the ultimate Purpose of life is for eternity much more than for anything in this world So when we have this clarity and perspective, we realize that it's that it's much bigger than our experiences again as Many spharem teachers our purpose in this world is to earn for ourselves the next world and the main way we earn it is by Applying a moon and be tough and and if you are doing your best to apply moon and be tough You are a true success story a person who has the perspective of God forbid Someone claiming that I shem sometimes steps backs and allows people to do terrible things that is completely Against all the basics of what a muna teaches. I'm not going to go into an extensive Teaching about this now, but the most the most basic basic Before even exploring the more more intricate details of what we talk on is etc. The most basic expression and understanding of Muna is that I shem completely controls every single detail in this world From a to z and although sometimes people have a mistaken perspective in terms of what samsvara and teach that shem Does not have absolute control etc. It is very clear I've given other talks on this and if you're interested in that I can refer you to that where It is very clear that it is unanimous according to all Torah opinions that there is absolute Hashgah practice in the world there is absolute a hundred percent Hashem has Absolutely oversees every single detail from the smallest detail in the smallest creature to the biggest detail globally I shem is completely overseeing every single thing at every single moment as we say in the 13 principles of faith from verambam every Some people say it every day the who live a doi asa for a severe assay to hold a maximum shem Exclusively did everything in the past does everything in the present and does and will do everything in the future It is a shem who is calling every single detail It is a shem exclusively a shem does not just step back and allow people to do terrible things if they've saved something happened I shem I shem himself orchestrated that to happen. I shem meant for that to happen There are no mistakes. I shem meant for that to happen I want one might ask why exactly would I shem do that to me? That is a question That is a very good question and we cannot answer that question fully. We don't know how shem's calculations sometimes he does things way beyond our understanding and One perspective I like to share is the concept of reincarnation There are many We're most of us are reincarnated and there are many things that we experience in our previous life lifetime that we might need rectification for in this lifetime and that being the case if I am going through something now one never knows why I shem might be sending me a certain rectification I need from a previous lifetime something way beyond my understanding Again in the bigger picture, it will be easy easy to understand when we get back to a shem And we see the whole picture and we go into eternity and we put all our lifetimes together However, Hashem works it all out, which is way beyond our understanding and our capacity to understand will understand how it's all for The good there is no question I shem does everything for the good It is absolutely clear He will not do anything which is not for the good and there are certainly no mistakes and I shem certainly does not let Does not just let nature just run its own course God forbid Which could be tantamou

Hi, thanks for reaching out. So just to respond to what you've said on the one hand You feel like you've been learning and when I'm be talking for such a long period on the other hand bottom line you're still struggling tremendously financially and That being the case, you know, it's very nice to learn all this and when I'm be talking but you've got to do something Practically you got to find a practical solution So again, firstly before anything there's right to share my shame should send you and all of us everything that we need because it's not easy to go through forms of suffering and Is that a shame we should be able to continue this journey of I'm gonna be talking whilst at the same time be able to Experience a shame coming through for us in a beautiful sweet revealed way that we have everything We need all the finances and everything else is right a shame whilst at the same time I just like to share on the other side a few other perspectives Okay, and that is that the starting point just to remember the starting point people We struggle we struggle to see the true Reason for Beings the true the true purpose of life Because it is much easier to to relate to the things that are right in front of us I need money. So my problem is I need money and my solutions. I'm gonna get money. I need to get that money. I'm not Underplaying that by any means we need that and person needs money to live whilst at the same time much much much much more important than that is Remembering that this whole life is so small in comparison to eternity one of the most basic ABCs of a money And be token is that this life is just a tiny little start of my real life After 120 years we leave this world and we go back to a shame and then we start that's eternity Eternity compared to 120 years what's 120 years? It's nothing that just to remember that and when I have that perspective just to realize the following Very very very important take home And that is that if I am on the journey of a moon and be token Even if I am yet to see Hashem coming through for me in the way that I need even if I'm still struggling I'm still short of the money that I need I still have to pay the bills and I'm struggling I'm not asking like you expressed your message. I'm not asking for luxuries. I'm not asking to go on trips I'm not asking to be rich. I just want to be able to pay the basic bills At the same time even if you are not able to yet do that and you're still struggling with Tremendously with finance finances just to give yourself a little bit of a chizok of encouragement If you are doing your best to grow in a moon and be token, you are the true success story You are really succeeding to the point that one day you're going to go back to Hashem and Way greater than if you live the life of tremendous wealth and comfortably had everything you need You are going to be in the most incredible places because you are fulfilling the reason that you exist So important to remember the reason that we exist is to excel in the moon and be token So that is the first perspective that I wanted to share just to realize some encouragement the second reason the second perspective that I'd like to share is We don't know Hashem's calculations and he's got many calculations and The bottom line take home. We don't need to get involved in Hashem's calculations It's very simple in terms of practically what we're supposed to do and we're struggling with something Hashem desires that we come to him and we ask him for help as We see so it's throughout Tara so many examples people might say you're but if it's ready for your best Then maybe it's accepted for my best. No, no, that's not how it works You see from all the emis from all the many Tara sources that we have when they had a challenge You're supposed to speak to Hashem about that challenge and what Hashem expects from you is just to reach out to him and ask him for help That's what he expects and the the the take home that I'd like to share with you is sometimes people say Listen, it's very nice to learn all the same when I'm talking, but now let's go be practical because I am stuck now I don't have the Paranossa that I need now. So the question is yes, you're absolutely right You got to do something about it Hashem makes us live in a physical world where things run according to the Certain laws that usually we we're bound by usually things run according to the normal usual laws of nature, etc So yes, there is a mitzvávishtadlis There is no question There is a mitzvávishtadlis of making your own effort to make things happen. However, this is where it becomes People can make a very grave mistake and the question is yes, so you got to do something about it So what are you going to do about it? Sometimes after all that I'm going to be talking and all your prayers to Hashem For whatever reason again, not to remind ourselves that when it comes to be tough on there is a level of be tough on that You can get to such a high level you rely on Hashem that he will for sure give you what you need And if and and cover the same chazak women to the back of a couple of them We're supposed to continuously hope to Hashem and dive into Hashem. He hasn't yet answered me in the way that I need I'll hope I'll hope to him again. I'll dive into him again. Like moisture a bane Hashem said to me not going to register. I said, I'm going to have an again I'm going to pray again. Please Hashem. Can I go to please cash him? Can I go to Israel 515 times? He was you know completely not giving in to Hashem Hashem eventually said to him, please stop praying because if you pray one more time I'm going to have to let you in and for the bigger picture of things I don't want you to go in and Hashem actually showed moisture a bane or earth Israel He got to see it even though he wasn't supposed to because of his prayers He's unrelenting Prayer we got to do the same with Hashem if we don't get something we pray we pray him the question is Where are we doing our hishtad? So sometimes people what they do is I'm stuck God forbid that the worst extreme is a person completely forgets Hashem out of their life They don't they literally forget Hashem and they just literally trying to find Practical solutions doing his shutters to try get their bills paid sometimes Hashem covers things so well so so well Again to test a person that it will look like oh now a person found their solution because they work so hard Etc. We have to remember the words of the Missilesi shahram It is not how we are hishtadless one bit that helps us found us should find our solutions Hashem exclusively sends our solutions Yes, we have an obligation to fulfill the tax payments the mitzvah of hishtadless Which means it's a tax payment to mitzvah, but it's not that whatsoever that brings us our success Which means if I've got a problem now, so yes, I've prayed to Hashem the star What is the starting point? I've got a challenge now The starting point is build your money continue to dive into Hashem tell Hashem. I'm struggling Please help me please help me to find the right avenues of what I shouldn't be involved in please breast Bless my efforts to try and make a living that I don't that I should be able to pay the bills I don't have to fall behind in these things and be able to be in a good comfortable situation that I can rather focus my efforts to Serving you please Hashem and focus if one is focused a significant time towards doing that firstly To realize you fulfilled your mission in this world You're fulfilling your mission in this world Which is much more important than all the Paranos in the world as hard as it is not to have Paranos it is way more of a tragedy someone who has all the comfortable Paranos that they need and they're leaving Hashem out their life So today they might seem like a successful person when they get to the next world God forbid There will be a tremendously awful surprise for a person like that, which is

Hi, so your question is a good question. That that we learn from already the Pasuk and the way that we show in Him, understand the Pasuk as well as the Akhronim. And later commentaries understand the Pasuk in Mishle, which says that when we fear something, we actually bring that thing on. So the question is, what is the mechanics behind that? Why did Hashem make that happen that way? So again, there's different angles we can take. And the suggestions that you're giving are, definitely could be the truth in why Hashem made it that way. But the bottom line is, regardless of the reason, this is a fact. This is how Hashem made it. And that is the bottom line take home that we have to in this area and in all areas. We can try to understand things as best as we can. But we obviously are limited in our understanding of Hashem's workings, his inner workings and how he made our world run, the spiritual world run, etc. But just more informatively, we can, like the Rambam says, we're supposed to try to understand things the best that we can. That's the mitzvah of learning Torah. Whereas the bottom line take home is it's a fact that when we fear something, then we, God forbid, can bring on that fear. Again, remembering the important stapler that he said, people often say, but that's unfair. I'm a human being, etc. It's very important to understand and digest that fear that is beyond our, that is automatic, that is, so to speak, natural. And just because we're human beings, we feel that fear. We're certainly not held accountable for that. That is natural human feelings that we're allowed to and supposed to feel. But we certainly have to do anything and everything we can to minimize fear that shouldn't be there, that is within our capacity to minimize and remove from our lives. So that is the bottom line take home. Just the reason why is it that Hashem would make it this way. So we can just suggest different things. One thing that you suggest that is based on Haribah and Yonah reads, it could be that it's almost like a punishment. Hashem says, you're choosing to fear something else and not fully apply Bittachan. So the punishment in a sense is that I'm going to now actually make you more susceptible to that thing you're fearing. And the truth is that this is actually similar to what you mentioned about the Chavez Halavavus. It actually is similar lines, would appear to be along similar lines. Chavez Halavavus mentions that if you're trusting someone else, you actually meet a connected mida, become under their auspices, which is a very, very petrifying thing. Person who trusts in Hashem, they obviously Hashem always runs the show. But so to speak, when a person trusts in someone else or something else, Hashem says, it's okay, now you're trusting in them, I'm going to place you now under their auspices. In essence, Hashem is the one that is running everything. Hashem runs nature, Hashem runs out of the people, et cetera. But like the Chavez Halavavus is teaching us that when a person trusts in someone else, then in our perception at least it becomes, and in the person's reality, it becomes as if that person is in their control. In a similar vein, when we fear something, really what we're doing is we're saying, I trust that thing and therefore I have a reason to fear it. Or I trust that individual and therefore I have a reason to fear that individual. Because why would we fear another individual, another circumstance, if not for the fact that we're actually placing our trust, our reliance in that situation. If we're trusting Hashem exclusively, we would not fear someone else or something else. So the truth is the two are actually one and the same thing. When we're fearing something else, it's actually because we're relying on that thing. And when we're now, it seems like a scary situation. The reason we're feeling scared is because we actually believe that thing has power. So it's a very similar explanation to what the Chavez Halavavus explains. However, it also could be something completely different. It could be, again, there's so many factors in Hashem's calculations. What is the reason that Hashem made it this way that when we fear something, we actually attract it? It could be just something, just like many other things we don't understand in the spiritual worlds. And we don't understand how it works when it's very, very complicated, all the ins and outs of the spiritual worlds and how does reincarnation work and all the different things. How do we put it all together? So many questions we have, which we obviously know we can't understand. And similarly here, it just could be Hashem made it a certain natural rule within the spiritual realms that when you fear something, it is like a magnet. And again, maybe we can't understand exactly why, but it's just that's how Hashem made it. But the bottom line, again, it doesn't really matter the reason why. The bottom line is to do our best to grow in our bitachan that we should get to a place to live in with the most bitachan, which will by Hashem lead to the least fear of other people and other things. And not only are we removing our attraction of that danger, of the thing that we God forbid could be fearing, but much more than that, we're actually fulfilling our mission in this world, which is ultimately to have Amunah and bitachan, we should all, by Hashem, be sure to reach that level.

Hi, thanks so much for reaching out. So you're asking a really important and fundamental question about all of Emunah and Bittachan, how exactly it works. And that is, you know, sometimes we speak about Bittachan when we ask Hashem for something and we rely on Him and He comes through for us in the way that we design. Ultimately, that's one of the highest levels of Bittachan. However, you're asking, what about when Hashem does not come through for us? What is our response to that situation? So really what we have to remind ourselves all the time is we get so caught up in our lives in this world. And one of the most fundamental pillars of Judaism, and really of life, if you just take the teachings of so many, I'll just give you the Messiah as one, is that we have to remember that life is very temporary. Even 120 full years is so, so short in comparison to eternity. Remember what eternity is. Remember just the famous muscle that we've quoted numerous times. Imagine you have a stadium full to the top, filled with sand. And every thousand years a little bird comes and takes one grain of sand out of that stadium. How long is it going to take to empty that stadium? It's going to take a very, very, very, very long time. Billions and trillions and gazillions of years. That is still not eternity. Eternity is forever. So when you compare 120 years to eternity, it's like a joke. It's so, so small in the bigger picture of things. So because eternity and the afterlife is something that's more abstract to most of us, and it's not something that we're living within this world, it's much harder to relate to it. And then most of us, we relate to things that are going on in this world in a much easier way. But the whole work, a big, huge part of the work of Emuna is digesting and internalizing that we're going to another world. We're going to eternity. And the reason why it's so important that it's easy, you know, most of us, we ask, do you believe in Ollama Bay? Yes. But there's many levels on how strongly do I believe in Ollama Bay in the next world in the afterlife? And the reason it makes such a difference, the level that we work on internalizing, that belief in the next world is because that will make all the difference in how we answer this question exactly what you're asking. Again, such an important, fundamental question. How do we respond? It's very nice when we ask it, when we dive into Hashem for things, when we rely on him for things, and he comes through for us. That's amazing because, you know, we feel like we've been rewarded. But what about when it seems to not only, that he's not answering us, but it seems to go backwards? It seems like we're relying on him and things get worse for me? It seems like I'm diving into him to get held, get pronounced, get whatever else I need. And it actually seems like now my situation has turned for the worse. And it's not like three days later, it turns for the better. It's currently just getting worse and worse. So again, we have to do a few things. The bottom line take home, like the post-success and the many sources, and continue to pray, even if it seems like he's not coming through, that is our mitzvah. And we've got to continue to always have more hope, more prayer, and never ever ever give up reaching out to Hashem, relying on Hashem, diving into Hashem. But what's a much more important take home is that a much more meaningful and important and way greater reward than receiving anything you could be diving for. And that could be if a person is diving for a billion dollars, or anything, any huge salvation, a way greater reward than receiving even that billion dollars or any other great salvation that a person really, really needs is just being on the journey of Emunah and Bittachan. Because we've got to remind ourselves what all the Torah commentaries teach that the whole point of this world is for the sake of Emunah and Bittachan. And again, Hashem does not expect us to be greater than our maximum capacity. So to reach the highest levels of Emunah and Bittachan today is not within our maximum capacity. But being on the journey and doing our best to constantly be learning about it, to constantly be talking to Hashem, asking Him to help me grow on the ladder of Emunah and Bittachan, to constantly be on that journey is what we can do. And remember what all the Torah sources teach us. So many we learned, so many Torah sources we went through in the Torah sources themselves in the Transformer Bittachan series and in many other times also we've been through them. Because it's so important to emphasize the whole point of the whole Torah is for the sake of Bittachan. The whole point of every mitzvah we do is for the sake of Bittachan and much more powerful statements than even that, which I'm not going to go through now. But seeing as the whole point of our life is to earn the next world for ourselves. And the main way that we do that, Torah, mitzvahs, etc., but a summary of the whole thing is Emunah and Bittachan. Emunah and Bittachan is really what the whole purpose of Torah mitzvahs is for. So that being the case, even when Hashem didn't come through for me in the way that I desired, if I'm reaching out to Him, if I'm relying on Him, if I'm talking to Him, if I'm trying to build my Muneun and Bittachan that He's the only one that can help me, you have achieved way more than anything you can achieve in this world. So again, it takes a bit of maturity in our level of climbing in the hierarchy of Bittachan to believe this, to believe that anything I can achieve in this world or that Hashem can give me in this world is way smaller than the true reward. Just being on the Bittachan journey, just doing your best, yes, you don't see in an obvious fashion that rewards today sometimes because the main reward is for the afterlife, but it takes belief and again a certain maturity in that belief that I understand that one day I'm going to get a reward way greater than this world. So it's a certain destination that we know that we've reached in our quest for Emunah and Bittachan is when we receive things in this world, of course it excites us and it makes us happy and we thank Hashem for them, but much greater than that. It's just an appreciation for being on the Bittachan journey, for trusting in Hashem, for telling him I know you can help me in this situation, I know that you can take me out of it in a second, I'm relying on you Hashem to take me out of it. Please Hashem take me out of this situation, I'm only coming to you, I know that anything and everyone else, no one can help me, no situation can help me, it's a hundred percent exclusively you Hashem. The more sincere you are in doing that, that is the reward. Obviously just having a relationship with Hashem is a huge reward, but besides for that experience, just the tremendous reward that is in store for us in the next world is way way greater than anything that we are going to receive in this world. So with Hashem all of us, we should merit to see the things that we want in this world, but much more importantly to be on the Emunah Bittachan journey truly and truly digest that what is in store for us in the afterlife in Olamabad is way way greater than anything else we could imagine in this world and therefore just being on the Emunah Bittachan journey, which is ultimately the whole purpose of Torah Mitzvahs, is so worthwhile in its own right which should all be sarched to that Bezrah Hashem.

So in terms of what you're quoting that the Rambam brings down When it comes to a person honoring their wife They should be Oh, I have like a guffaw, mochabda, yosem e guffaw A person supposed to love her and the same as oneself which you find a similar thing like vahavt al-rehaq al-mohirah But in terms of respecting and honoring her that's supposed to be even more than one respects and and honors oneself and you're just having maybe You know just want a bit of perspective just in terms of understanding what exactly this means why exactly is it like? Etc. So I'll just tell you something interesting an interesting take home Which is not exactly answering your question But but answers this question and many other questions in a more fundamental way and that is that The Rambam in another passage writes that when it comes to all areas of Torah We have a mitzvah to do our best to understand them We have a mitzvah just like you have a mitzvah to shake a lulav to light shabbos candles and all the other mitzvahs That we have you have a mitzvah to do your best to understand Torah passages If there's and a certain reasons given for mitzvahs, etc You have a mitzvah to and delve into it as a mitzvah However, the bottom line of the everything said and done we have to remember what so many so many Torah commenters teach that ultimately everything is Way beyond our human intellect even the most basic mitzvah, which might seem like it's within our understanding and realm however in truth it is way beyond our understanding and realm and and you know capacity to understand things within our human and limitations and That that being the case without giving too many examples I thought this will get very long But that being the case the bottom line when it comes to all mitzvahs and all guidance from the Torah whether you understand It or you don't you just know it's right if you just want to take home the take home is yes This you want the best marriage advice This is the way that it works that you love you're supposed to aim to love your wife Like it says Kegufa to the same extent as yourself and when it comes to honoring her even more than yourself That is the extent that we're supposed to Relate when it comes to To marriage to one's wife, etc. etc. So The bottom line like I say why I'm focusing on this is because we can maybe delve into some of the reasons Why is it like this? Maybe a woman woman is created in a certain way with certain sensitivities that when it comes to her honor and respect that she That you know She understood that she needs that way more than a man and then maybe she would that's why the Torah is Commanding us that we should be very careful even more than the love in a sense of the respect and the honor, etc. You can give all kinds of reasons and It can be interesting almost theoretically but practically the bottom line take home is there and again We so gifted to have this give you another example and it comes to keep it of a aim The or a shulchan says beautifully and he says you do not honor your father and mother because you appreciate them That is not of course you appreciate them, but that's not the reason you're honoring your father and mother If that's the reason you're honoring them, you're gonna go wrong You know why you honor them you're honoring them because Hashem told you to honor them And then you do the mitzvah with all the guidelines in the exact way exactly as prescribed by halacha Whether it makes sense or whether it doesn't make sense and you're in the best boat when you're doing that because you're not following Our own perspective which we can be well-meaning, but we can be also crooked We've got many what's the reason because we've got firstly sometimes we make mistakes. We're human secondly We've got many You know things attached to our to why we think certain ways We've got many of our own issues and things sometimes like that which makes us feel it or think in a certain perspective Thirdly sometimes things are clouded by our tibes by our desires You know when you're looking at something like are you always use an example? You know you'll explain why you want the chocolate as opposed to vanilla because it's much healthier or this or that you'll find Reason sometimes within ourselves. We explain things away because really, you know, we'll make sense of it because initially our That's where we want to go but in truth What's the absolutely objective perspective the only objective perspective is Hashem's perspective the tourist perspective We so privileged to have it and this is just one example So we should all be Privy to fulfill this particular Mitzvah and a guide from the Torah a guidance from the Torah in addition to that into all the areas of the Torah Which we which we are privy to have the Mitzvah and to have the guidance from the Torah Which we should be we should be privileged to follow it and realize we're following it we're following Hashem's perspective nothing can be more correct and By the more we build our emuna in Hashem and the Torah the more Bezrat Hashem will will realize that it's way Way way way safer and way wiser to choose to follow Hashem's perspective completely 100% right like the purpose it says Trust in Hashem with all your heart you follow the Torah a hundred percent like the before to explain They'll be nice. I'll teach you don't rely on your own understanding on your own. Um, you know, I've got my own Cleverness how to understand how to extrapolate of course we have it sometimes we're required with you know We start us to think about things to do our best to make our effort But the bottom line is rely on Hashem rely on Hashem rely on Hashem and a big part of that is follow His guidance which will all be privy Bezrat Hashem to have this real emuna

Hi, thanks so much for reaching out. It is so inspiring to see a message like this when you're really Experiencing, you know, really tremendous challenges and the things that you're asking about is your emunah your bitachan And really trying to grow in this journey So many people we all have different struggles and different things we're going through in this world But it's so so much harder to relate to the real real Truth in Hashem's perspective of what is really important when somebody is growing there in the money in the bitachan You are the highest success story that they can be much greater than any success that people to relate to in this world So it's a tremendous inspiration to see You and other people that are just growing in this trying to grow in this amazing journey You should just continue from strength to strength there's Rasa shem just to address your question Which is a painful question Can hear that you're in a lot of pain you're trying to have a lot of emunah bitachan on the one hand was on the other hand You're feeling tremendously anxious about your financial situation and You're in a situation where your husband had he he's the breadwinner and he's you know he's he's not disclosing to anybody what he's doing with finances and So just to address this question from a few different angles you ask is this normal For this to be happening and is it okay that you're kind of feeling anxious about your situation that you don't really know What's going on financially? So I'll just mention a few angles The first angle which It's not really the right platform this to discuss. It's a much deeper question It's more of a married relationship type of question You're asking do most people know what's going on in their financial life between a husband and wife and the answer is yes Absolutely, it's not usually kept a secret one from the other and that being the case. This is something that's a much deeper Point that needs to be delved into deeper I'm not familiar obviously from your message in your in the ins and outs of what's going on in the relationship and the many different factors that It might that might be affected etc. But that's certainly something which Under normal circumstances would raise a question of why is it that's your it's not being shared with you What what's being happening? What's going on financially in your life? Unless it's a particular something which is only relevant to one of you Usually things like that definitely are shared between husband and wife So that is something that is a is a more a very very very important fundamental Something to try to resolve But I think for something like that you you need somebody on the ground who you need More time to discuss the ins and outs of everything that's going on in the relationship To try make more clarity of that But in terms of them the side of the anxiety and their money and the be tough and etc I'll address it from that angle and that is that There are so many different levels of a money and be talking on the highest levels a person feels nothing in Nothing in anxiety nothing to be talking regardless of what's going on in my personal life and a global level etc However, it makes a huge difference What we are experiencing With regards to the appropriate response of a money and be talking so let's say a person is just you know I'm short of $50 for something and I'm actually short. I don't know how I'm gonna get the $50 So that's still stressful, but obviously we understand that it's very different if you're short of $50 whether you're short If you're short of $5,000 for something much bigger problems happening and there's many levels of this And the bigger the problem the higher the more be talking and a moon of that We need to try build to be able to apply real sincere money and be talking in those situations Now the way you've expressed your question is that you're in a situation where you actually don't know what's going on Financially in your life where usually in your circumstances a wife would know what's going on That is not a small challenge. That is a really really really huge challenge. And like I say, but it's a besides for the Relationship marriage aspect of that which I'm not going into right now in this message, however Just that as its own challenge of not knowing what's going on financially and Having to look after your family and not knowing from month to month of what's going on and feeling tremendously anxious That is a really really really big Emotion and challenge to face and The fact that you're just trying to find them when I and be talking to deal with this is Absolutely incredible and each step you take forward even again at the highest level Yes, at the highest levels a person won't be anxious at all because the person knows that she will always take care of them Always take care of their family everything everything is perfect amazing But to get to that level is a lifetime of work to try to get to that level We just have to take steps forward Everyone of us according to our own level so just taking a little bit of a step forward You know taking the Gamora into account remembering the Gamora the Gamora says that anyone who has food for today and worries about food for tomorrow So sorry, let me say that again a person has food for today But you've only got enough food for your final meal today and you don't have another penny you don't have any item to your name you got nothing to sell for tomorrow and You worried about where you're gonna get food for tomorrow, but you actually have no plan You don't have any you don't have any any any any anything nothing in no no money nothing and You're worried about tomorrow. That's considered a person of low. No. Why because a shim gave you food every single day until now And just because you don't see how it's gonna come through for tomorrow You don't have to worry about it. It's not you anyway doing about it's not the bank It's not there or being organized about things of course We have a mitzvah wish dad list but people very much confused that I think that they're running the show Unfortunately and Hashem is running the show Exclusively Hashem always has provided and he always will provide for us and that perspective can just help calm, you know If you're doing your maximum Obligation within what you feel the you've worked out is the right ish dad list for you to try be Responsible financially in your situation when you don't you don't involve with the finances So you kind of there's nothing you have to do really if you absolve from the mitzvah wish dad list Then you just have to leave it fully up to Hashem and rely on him that he's gonna take care of things This can be applied to all areas of life There's that Hashem Hashem should help you that you should be able to not only see Success in your financial endeavors But also be able to live with Hashem and truly fulfill your mission in this world to truly respond in an attitude of a moon and be tachan and Have clarity in all areas in a revealed good way that you know that Hashem is always coming through for you and Sending you just sweet revealed good things bezraht Hashem

Hi, thanks for reaching out. Yes. So this passage that is brought down by numerous Torah commentaries one of them The one we quoted is Rabbeinu B'chayyeh That teaches that before we come down into the world each and every one of us have actually pre ordained for ourselves Exactly all the encounters that we'll have in this world, which is a really incredible and fascinating idea in so many ways because As you say obviously once we get into this world we forget everything and we don't know anymore What we've chosen for ourselves because otherwise there wouldn't be a point in anything It would be there would be no challenge in Emuna because we would remember that how and be able to see how everything is good for ourselves, however, we've been taught here by the Torah commentaries that Before we do come into the world. We have such clarity that Specifically all all the specific things that we go through are actually we choose for ourselves and Obviously the good the things that we experience is good things also But even the challenges, let's say a person is suffering from poverty or sickness Illness or any you know or or some challenging relationship or whatever else it might be Before we came into the world. We actually chose that for ourselves and that just gives us a certain Power and ability to to build our Emuna to appreciate that Everything that happens is not only for our best But if we were the ones to choose we would choose no other way now again There's different sides to the coin of Emuna and be tough and we have to tap into all the different sides when they're applicable on the one hand We have a mitzvah constantly cover la shem chazak. I'm at the back of a cover Lashem to constantly hope and pray for the way we see things as good for ourselves in this world Somebody's sick If somebody's going through some illness or if somebody's struggling with Parnosa or whatever other area it might be We have a mitzvah to hope to a shem to pray to a shem Please a shem take me out of it in a sweet way that I'll get the Parnosa need I'll get that that I'll recover from the illness etc in this world even though in theory one might argue and say But if we if we chose it for ourselves to be to suffer illness or to suffer poverty Why would I govern for to be different nevertheless whether we understand or not? Regardless, you know the bottom line is clear shem desires that we pray for the things we see as good for ourselves in this world in our lives in this world and So that's the one angle and the other angle is that There is a very high level of bitachan and and all and and even at the most basic level also There's to some degree one one should definitely tap into it And that is that one doesn't even have a desire anymore of their own one can't one just let's go and believe so much in a shem That everything is for the best that I just thank him for everything I literally just say thank you a shem Thank you a shem and I'm able to just be reach such high levels of just being so happy with whatever he sends me Poverty wealth sickness health whatever it might be It's all the same in a sense because I know that a shem only does good for me And even if I can't that that's a very high level of money and bitachan But even at the most basic level to some degree just Acknowledging just making a full having a full realization and acknowledgment that a shem Everything that he does is the best like the Gamora says that we every person has to say call my David Rahman and I'll tell her everything a shem does is for the best and we'd say gum Zulet of everything is for the best That certainly helps us to cope with our challenges in a complete to a completely different level Even if on the one hand we are dovetailing for things to change on the other hand if today it hasn't changed That's often a way we can reconcile this on the one hand We don't for things to change on the other hand we accept and however things are going at the moment Right now today or for the past however, it's been we accept that that was for the best and without a shadow of a doubt that Could be nowhere, but no better way for that Manifesting and again realizing and internalizing that we ourselves We actually or we we we specific We asked a shem for that to be our package our path in this world when we realize that that's actually what happens And again that takes a moon obviously because we don't see that just like all the elements of a moon I shem himself a la maba the next world and in the same way this Concept that before we came into the world we we ourselves chose our own path So that takes a certain certainly a certain sense of maturity in our a moon But when we do we will be able to reach that level it certainly makes a huge huge Difference in terms of being able to acknowledge that everything that happens is absolutely far for our ultimate best and without a shadow of a doubt So again as part of our a moon a journey We just have to make an effort to build our belief that that everything that we taught in the Torah sources with all them You know incredible Torah commentaries that we have It's a hundred percent true and what we taught that we ourselves chose for ourselves the exact path We're gonna go through that. It's that's a hundred percent true and that being the case again anything that happens to us All right, sometimes our initial instinctive response is oi. How could we could be going through that? That's terrible, etc. But again just digest digesting this idea that everything that happens is 100% chosen not only by shem But we ourselves asked Hashem for that to happen to us because again We see way beyond what how things actually manifest in this world We see the real true manifestation in the next world and when we have that Appreciation, you know, we're able to let say a person had to specifically reach a specific rectification Only by going through a certain poverty or suffering or illness or whatever else might be that gives us a certain, you know complete different level of Come into our money and be tough and we should all is that the same merit to the highest levels of money and be tough

So it's a really, really fundamental question with regards to the whole topic of Emuna and how Emuna and Bitachan relates to Hishtadlis, how much effort am I supposed to put into making a Paranosa or other areas, etc. And the question is, as you've illustrated very clearly, on the one hand the Moa grow in Emuna and Bitachan in a sense the less efforts I need to make as many of the, many, many other Torah teachers, teachers of Desla as one example, it says the more you grow in Bitachan, in a sense the more you realize you're completely dependent on Hashem and in a sense why would you make so much of your own effort. Again, yes, maybe at the highest, highest, highest levels of Bitachan, which is super high and most of us don't get to, a person is completely absolved of any of the need of making any effort whatsoever. But even if we're not speaking about the highest of the highest levels which maybe a few individuals can get to on a constant basis, but still every single one of us on a constant basis in our own lives there's a billion levels to Bitachan and the more Bitachan I have the less Ishtadlis in a sense I need to make. So that's the one side of the coin. The other side of the coin is sometimes Emuna and Bitachan can be used unfortunately even by well-meaning people but almost as an excuse to absolve ourselves from taking responsibility in this world, Hashem put us in this world and we have to take responsibility for all our actions. And the one area which is a very, very big component of that is Ishtadlis, is we have a mitzvah to make an effort to make things happen, to do our part at least as if we're making things happen. Let's be it in whatever area one's dealing with, let's say in Paranassa. Person's got to do the effort to try and make things work in terms of Paranassa. And sometimes if a person is almost lazy and wants to get out of it, they can say, you know what, I've got Emuna, I've got Bitachan and I'm not going to read and therefore they're going to absolve themselves from making the required effort. And your question is how do I know exactly where I'm holding? On the one hand, I don't want to earn the side of doing too much Emuna and Ishtadlis. I don't want to earn the side of doing too much Ishtadlis because as we've learned many times, that could actually borderline idol worship. Because just like by idol worship, I believe in another power, another entity has something outside of Hashem. So it has the Mufarishim tichas, the one example, you can look at this, the Bihar al-Akhirah right at the beginning, he brings the Seifer al-Akhirah, he says, you believe in any other entity, even if you also believe in Hashem, but you believe any other entity has any power whatsoever, that is Avoy Dezara, which means, yes, I believe Hashem's running the show, but I need to help him, like the line that many people unfortunately say very commonly, that is very close to Avoy Dezara. Hashem does not need your help. You have a mitzvah of Ishtadlis, which again, as Emusila Shahrim says, comes from the curse of Adam Arishan at the beginning because of the sin that he did, we have a curse, remember the Ishtadlis is a curse that we have to fulfill, to make it look like we're making an effort. But again, from take to heart, the words of Emusila Shahrim, that the Ishtadlis that we do does not make a difference whatsoever in terms of the actual desired result. You go to work, you make it look like you're making money, but in truth, you make no money. Your money comes exclusively from Hashem. And when a person's believing, oh, I'm making money, I cut such a good deal, I this, I that, that is very close to Avoy Dezara. So that's the one side of the coin. Obviously, we don't want to go anywhere near. On the other side, as we've said, as we illustrated already, if a person just says, look, I'm not going to do any effort, or I'm going to do very little effort because I'm having a mitzvah, but again, if one's faking that mitzvah, then in a sense, I'm just absolving myself from my responsibility of doing Ishtadlis. And that's also certainly not, you're not fulfilling the mitzvah of doing Ishtadlis. So how does one know? That's the bottom line question that we're dealing with here. And the answer is very simple. On the one hand, it's complicated. On the other hand, it's simple. Why it's complicated is because we don't have a set of laws about Ishtadlis. Ishtadlis is one of the most complicated areas. It's not like we have a Shulchanaruch, which details all the laws of the many intricate laws of so many areas in Yiddishkait. How do you wash your hands in the morning? Exactly what type of food is required for certain events? And what type of tzitzis are you supposed to wear? How exactly are you supposed to dress? What are the laws of going to mikvah? All the different things, very intricate laws. And the billions of laws that we have, literally, and intricacies. However, when it comes to Ishtadlis, we don't have such a set of laws. And as an Afarishm teacher, the reason is because Ishtadlis is really dependent on Yorbitachan. And it really, really varies from individual to individual. As it says, Hashem tzilcha, many Afarishm bring. Hashem is your shadow. If you put up five fingers into the rays of the sun, and you will then see a shadow of five fingers. If you put up only one finger, you will see only one finger shadow. And in the same way, if a person relies on Hashem with five fingers, you will see Hashem coming through for you in a full sense, as if it's five fingers of your life. Whereas if a person is like, listen, I've got my own plans. I rely on Hashem a little bit. I also make a bit of my own plans. I only put up two fingers in reliance on Hashem. Hashem says, no problem. I will give you two fingers worth of reliance that you will see me coming through for you. The rest of it, it will appear as if what you're relying on is the truth. Remember, the Khurvas al-Abbas, right at the beginning, also teaches us that when a person relies on another individual, on something else, Hashem says if you rely on something else, you become under their auspices. One of the most scary statements that we know, because again, a person relies on their boss and then they actually become in the hands of their boss. And then people come in and say, listen, I'm trying to have him when I'm going to be talking, but look what happened. It seemed like I was in the hands of my boss. Yes, because if a person relies on their boss or something else or someone else, they actually become under their auspices. So we've got to make every effort to stay very far away of relying on anyone else or anything else, including on relying on ourselves. Because again, that's very similar. Relying on yourself, Hashem, there's no problem. You're relying on yourself, take care of yourself, which is a terrible, terrible, terrible curse both in this world and obviously for eternity in terms of the consequences of what that means when a person didn't rely on Hashem. So that's why it's complicated, because it's so subjective and we don't know really what level of a Muna Bitaachem we're holding at. On the other hand, it's so simple, because we're not expected to do anything more than our maximum capacity and we do not know the full story in the full picture. Hashem does not expect us to. So what does he expect us to do? As we've said so many times, Hashem expects us to reach out to him in our own language, in our own way to our best, to the best of our capacity and just say to him, Hashem, my dear Father, I don't want to err on the side of having, of doing too much ishdaedlis. There's a tremendous opportunity of a Muna Bitaachem in the world which is ultimately the purpose of my life. Please, Hashem, help me, that I should grow in my Muna Bitaachem journey and realize that I'm not dependent on any of my efforts because you provide for me exclusively, you don't need my efforts. On the other hand, Hashem, you hav

תודה ולדו כל ההתדונאי בשמחה לפניו ידונה וצון מריטו שערה ונתו

So, exactly as you say, as all the Svarim teach and as we've been learning about in Bittachan, the only component that contributes to Hashem giving us exactly what we need when we're learning about Bittachan and this absolute type of Bittachan is the Bittachan itself. As we've learnt, it's completely independent of our actions. As the Midrash says, even if someone has no good deeds to their name, but they have the power of Bittachan, the power of Bittachan itself is what causes Hashem to send us what we need. And the reason for that, as many explain, obviously there's many deep reasons, but one very easy to understand reason is because much more important than the thing that we're trying to get is Bittachan itself. You know, people sometimes have a hard time understanding why is it that Bittachan is like this magic potion that if you have Bittachan then Hashem gives you what you want. And one can ask a similar thing about Tfilah, which people have a less hard time asking about because that's just much more, we're much more accustomed to that. You can dove in Hashem and it works. Whereas Bittachan, it's less taught etc. However, again, when you have this perspective that it's not actually about receiving what we want. It's easy for Hashem in one second to give us a billion dollars to give us all the good of the world. But this whole world is much, much, much, much deeper than receiving all the goodies of this physical world. It is much, much more of an endeavor to gain Bittachan and then to gain a gazillion dollars and whatever else one is looking for. And therefore, when a person is lacking something and Bittachan brings them what they want, that's not actually in truth what's happening. It's the other way around. It's that Hashem wants us to have the opportunity to get Bittachan. That is the golden prize, getting the Bittachan. Now, in order to do so, Hashem says, okay, let me find a way to give you the opportunity to have Bittachan. Let me make you want something and need something from me. And the only way you can get that is if you have real Bittachan. So now I'm giving you an opportunity to apply Bittachan. Again, that's going to be the only component that's going to allow us to get what we need because that is what Hashem wants us to achieve. Much more a person has Bittachan that they're suffering illness. They should get better. They don't have a shidah. They want to find a shidah. A person struggling with a child or any other situation a person is going through with Parnosa. So it's not about receiving the Yeshua, the salvation from Hashem. Of course, Bittachan does that and gives us the salvation. But Hashem's giving us an opportunity by giving us room to need the salvation to get the grand prize. The grand prize is have Bittachan. And that's why Bittachan has a magic potion. Is this magic potion? Is because Hashem made it like that so that we should be motivated to have the Bittachan itself. But yes, in the way that it works, as we've been learning from all, as you pointed out yourself from all the Torah commentaries, Bittachan itself is completely independent of all other things. Of course, there's many other calculations. Sometimes a person does a mitzvah and the mitzvah itself triggers a certain racham in Hashem's showers, showers down mercy on us and broche, etc. Whilst at the same time in particular in terms of Bittachan, which we're focusing on here, Bittachan itself, especially when one's 100% sincere in their reliance on Hashem, Hashem will for sure give them exactly what they're requesting, what they're relying on Hashem for. The way that works is because, is independent of anything and everything else. Like the Midrash says, they've shown him, teach us even if a person has a verus to their name. And even if they're very dirty than Hashem, but in this area, they're being really sincere, relying on Hashem. With absolute sincerity, everything else falls away and a person will definitely receive exactly what they want. Again, taking into account everything else we've also been teaching in the teachings, making it very, highlighting very boldly that this of course only works if a person is 100% sincere. And of course the main reward for Bittachan is not receiving the thing itself. So even if you don't receive what you need, not because it doesn't work, but rather because you weren't 100% sincere, you still get the most incredible reward way greater than anything in this world. Once at the same time to realize that this whole magic Bittachan works to a full absolute degree only if one's 100% sincere in their Bittachan. But again, as you're pointing out, much greater than receiving the item itself is having the Bittachan itself because that is ultimately the point of Hashem giving us needs and wants in this world. We should all merit Bittachan to the highest levels of real and real Bittachan.

So in terms of exactly what you're asking that when the person's been through some challenging circumstances And there seems to be like a lack of trust with other people for example if a person's been subject to abuse between spouses or alternatively sometimes even the example you gave between a Child and a parent on the one hand let's say if like you say a father's trying to teach a child how to swim and Then he just leaves him in the water and the child almost feels like he's drowning And then a few moments later he learns how to swim because he had no other choice. So on the one hand He feels appreciation To the parent for doing that to them on the other hand There's a certain feeling of betrayal that he can't maybe have a full sense of trust Because you know he was counting on his parent then and they didn't come through for them in the way that they needed so what you're pointing out is a very good point in terms of Trust between Human beings and this is actually if you look at the safer hovers and above us as you know one of the classics on be toughen One of the main ways that he he breaks down the way to understand be toughen as well as many others for him, but he's a great Example just to talk about and to go by And he compares be toughen to be toughen in another human being to relying on a human being and what happens when you're allowing a human being And all the different connections, etc. So on the one hand you can compare the two on the other hand There is a very major difference between the trusted one will have on any human being and The trust that there is in a shem so even you know, let's say a mother the trust The villain going based on the puzzle compares the trust that we have in touch to a shem to the trust that a little Baby has on its mother a baby literally is completely helpless Can't can't walk can't talk can't do anything and it just just just relies that its mother's gonna come again and feed it when it needs and Even in such a situation even though the baby is relying on its mother that I completely with complete faith even and usually A mother will do whatever and the normal circumstances a mother will do whatever with it is in her capacity Even give up her life to help this to help and to save a child however a Human being is always limited and as well intended as a person might be sometimes people they go crazy physically Emotionally they get sick sometimes a person dies sometimes Many other things happen that we're we're limited. We're we're limited by our human capacity Whereas a shem is completely not limited. So that is the big difference as a whole that always speaks out firstly If you go through all the conditions there at the beginning He speaks about that a person has to he has to build in terms of they'll be talking to a shem But let's just try to say some of the highlights for now a Person's gonna realize that a shem Firstly is constantly watching over you and there's complete absolute hush gacha every step of the way He knows exactly what's going on He's watching over you every single moment and he's orchestrating every single detail that's happening in your life And that takes a moment to build that that's the first thing the second thing is to realize internalizing to work on internalizing that a shem loves you more than you love yourself and he wants the best for you, but like really that's the only reason he created you and and thirdly that a shem can do anything and he's completely Not subject to any limitations And that is also very important one because sometimes you have very well-meaning people But like we explained the example before they are limited Whereas a shem is not limited and that is a very big difference and when we build out be talking in a shem as opposed to Other situations that a person might have been through like we said subject to abuse or other things that now they might feel an Inability to trust of course, it's a journey and of course like anything It's it's a work in progress and they there may be a lot of emotional things to work on there, etc We're not going to that now obviously However, just as a gen it as a general overview there is certainly potential to Work through those things via Muna. I always say the answer to all questions is Muna The true answer to all questions is Muna people sometimes unfortunately because of the way of the world We'd like to we'd like to assume that we're in control We like to feel like we're in control Therefore whenever there's an avenue of his status We always feel like that's gonna be the answer and as we've spoken about many times in terms of his status Establish is actually not what helps us by any means. There's a mitzvah to do stables Maybe an obligation to do status, but we got to believe like the Mercedes-Benz It's just a tax It's got no correlation between the result that we achieve and the efforts that we make there is no correlation And we got to realize that a hundred percent and that's in all areas and in the same vein when it comes to Trying to find solutions to our own problems Of course, there's a place for the status But we must never allow an established status and the more person builds the Muna the more energy and efforts They'll put rather into the Muna side of things as opposed to the Koychive-Oitsemiadi side of things their own efforts type side of things so again in this area also the one way is to Read more about it do more therapy about it this and that and again There's a space and time for everything not going into that now However, the main space and time should definitely for a person who's trying to head in the right direction should be devoted to their Muna and Their relationship with Hashem and talking to Hashem and asking Hashem to help them to to build the belief in him Because again, it's it's like I say that all the answers to the real answers to all real questions It's just a one-word answer. It's just the Muna the more I believe that Hashem is sincerely and genuinely the more genuinely believe that he's Running this show completely then the more I will feel completely happy and calm and in good hands and trust trusting That I'm in the most trustworthy hands as the Khoves-al-Bavis says at the beginning of the Khoves-al-Bavis What's what's the most? How do you what's the benchmark to know if you're at a very good high level of Vita Khan? It's to know that you've got Manukh Sanefash Serenity and tranquility of the soul which is something that cannot exist With the trust in human beings of course to some degree we trust people there is a lot of things are based on Relationships are based on trust etc. What's at the same time? They're all everyone is limited and there is a limited whereas Hashem there is no limit. There is no limit It's completely unlimited love. It's independent of anything and everything else We're always like the command says Bani Matem Hashem Rakeh or the postic says and the command says How we hold la aloha? Even if we do our verus even if we completely do Doing bad things we're always considered a child of Hashem Hashem loves us like a child always always always So again It's a process because the moon is a process and if it would be easy to digest and then you know We'd all be there one in a second and then We wouldn't live anymore because it's the purpose of our lives the whole purpose is trying to build the moon and the way we do so again by learning more about it by By talking to Hashem and asking him every day to help us to have more money Etc. I'm building that relationship and the more we do that the more we are providing an opportunity for ourselves there's a Tashem to build to build their money in a more genuine and sincere way and The more that we build that in that in that way the more will come to feeding that sense of Tranquility of the soul that Hashem is truly running You know every sense of our lives and will feel that absolute trust in him even if a person has had bad

So this is another beautiful piece from the Chövös al-Vavis that you're sharing, which is really a foundation to how all of Bittachan works. So again, in this piece he's writing that someone who has Bittachan does not rejoice in anticipation of the good fortune that he expects to receive in the future, nor does he worry or feel afraid about any future bad that might befall him. So again, both sides of the coin, the Chövös al-Vavis here, is portraying to us that whilst we usually learn that a person who has Bittachan doesn't worry about negative outcomes, because he knows that he's in Hashem's hands and he's in the best possible hands. Hashem, who is in complete control of every single detail of the world, would never let anything bad happen to him in terms of allowing some other force, God forbid, take control over Hashem. Obviously, bad things do happen to people and there's many reasons for that, but that is Hashem's doing. When a person knows they're 100% in Hashem's hands and Hashem will only do 100% what's best for a person and they're not susceptible to any circumstance, they're not victim to any person or circumstance, etc. A person like the Chövös al-Vavis is right at the beginning will be able to have Menuchas An-Nefesh tranquility of the soul, because what am I worried about? I'm literally in the best hands ever. Not one person has control over me, not one situation has control over me, I'm completely in Hashem's hands. And therefore, a response to adversity is exactly exclusively to Hashem. When something bad happens in a person's life or a scary situation seems to be approaching, I direct my thoughts and emotions and actions and everything towards Hashem and I say, Hashem, what's happening here? Why is this happening to me? Please save me from the situation. Once I've done that, there's nothing more to do, because I'm in the greatest hands ever, the safest hands ever. That's that side of the coin. However, the other side of the coin, which you mentioned here from the Chövös al-Vavis, which is not as commonly explored, is that a person with butachen doesn't get overly excited when something good happens to them, when something amazing happens to them. And again, the reason for this, and again, when they're anticipating maybe some good fortune happening to them, also, they're not in a particularly unusual state of joy and celebration. Again, let's just explain what this means. A person who doesn't have butachen, when something good happens, super good happens to them, or they're anticipating something good happening to them, they get super excited because it's unexpected. Why should they expect such a thing to happen? It's so unusual. So many bad things could happen because they're just living in happenstance and the normal ways of nature, etc. Whereas, when a person is with a shem, it is almost, as we've learned by Bittach on so many times, you can expect the good to happen. So not that you should throw away the appreciation, of course we have to be appreciative, that's another aspect. But without going into that for a moment, just to, when something good happens, it's almost like I'm not shocked. I was expecting the good to happen because I'm relying on a shem, even if the odds were against me, even if this was against the normal statistics of the natural world, etc. I know a shem's with me, I know I'm in a shem's boat, and therefore I'm expecting things to turn out for the good. And therefore, a person who's got real deep butachen, they're expecting good things to happen to them. And therefore, when something good happens, or when they're expecting some great fortune to happen, they're anticipating it. In that situation, they're not going to feel particularly excited and particularly joyful because it's like normal. This was within their expectation of what a shem would do for them. But this is what we've learned many times by Bittach on when a person has proper Bittach on for something. And again, if a person is fully, fully reliant on a shem, that something is going to happen in a good way, they're absolutely sincere in that way, as we've learned many times in axiom of creation, it will for sure happen. So if my Bittach on is that strong, why do I get so surprised when it actually happens? It was my clear belief before. If I'm building that Bittach on, that belief, that genuine understanding and realization that a shem is going to do this good for me and I'm relying on him for a certain good to happen to me. So once it happens, I shouldn't be all that surprised. This does not, again, I just want to highlight, this does not take away our obligation to be appreciative of one of the most basic fundamentals of Yiddish guide in general. Certainly our Bittach on also is Haqqara Satov to a shem, to appreciating the good that he does to us, that he does for us, every single little thing from the biggest, from the smallest to the biggest. You know, a little brush of fresh air to the biggest gifts in your life that you appreciate just to really constantly, and this is one of the things that we speak about often a person should do on a daily basis in their personal sessions with a shem, speaking to a shem, thank you a shem for this, thank you a shem for this, thank you a shem for this, and certainly if something good happens to thank a shem. But the point here is the knee-jerk response of someone like, what? What just happened? That's unbelievable. Whoa, how did this happen? That's just because a person wasn't expecting it to happen in a sense that is because a person is not having enough Bittach and that things are going to work out good for them. And therefore they, when they're anticipating something good, suddenly, or they receive something good and they receive those good news, they suddenly shocked. That sense of shock in a sense is not fully in line with Bittach. And again, we've got to appreciate and the digest that we're not going to be on this level today and we just got to climb towards this level, but just to know where we're aiming at. Eventually we're aiming at a level that when amazing things happen to us, we appreciate it in the same way we appreciate everything from a shem, but we're not particularly shocked in a knee-jerk response way because we always are expecting a shem to send us good, not because we're unappreciative and just live in this mode of thought that a shem owes us everything in the wrong way, but rather because we're living with the real values of Bittachan, that we're aligned on a shem and we're leaving everything up to him and once we do so genuinely and sincerely, as we told, a shem will do good for us from the smallest things to the biggest things and therefore when the most amazing things happen to us in a sense we appreciate it, but we don't feel overly surprised because we had digested that Bittachan, we already knew it was going to happen to us. We should all be lucky to these highest levels of the Moon and Bittachan.

So in terms of Tfilah and Bitachan, there are many sources that differentiate between Tfilah and Bitachan to some degree that on the one hand, they are very connected. Obviously, we can understand, like Rabani Yonar writes, that if a person doesn't have Bitachan, he won't doven for anything because the reason you doven is because you believe in something. On the other hand, there are many differences between Bitachan and Tfilah. As we've seen many passages, sometimes where you doven for something, Hashem has many other hashboinas and he says, no, because that's the best for a person in that particular situation and there are many other times. Whereas Bitachan has a special koach, even more than Tfilah, like the famous Orachayim brings, when they were at the Yamde, Hashem says, Matitsakai, why are you dovening to me? Stop dovening, because now the koach of Tfilah is not going to help you. The only thing that can help you is if you take a chizuk in Bitachan and you just jump, if you look at his words there, you just jump into the sea with the assumption that Hashem is going to split the sea for you. You have Bitachan, Hashem will split the sea for you. There's something to do a certain action of Bitachan that has more of a power than Tfilah. So as we've been learning in this section, I think it's part 4 of the Transformation of Bitachan series, that so many Makoras are already bringing that when a person has absolute Bitachan and he's 100% sincere, Hashem will for sure come through for them in the way that they're asking. That is something that is limited to Bitachan. Again, that will sometimes overlap with Tfilah. A big part of Bitachan is when you tell Hashem, and you tell him, please Hashem, I'm relying on you, I'm trying to be 100% sincere, you will do this for me. And I'm asking you to please do this for me. So it definitely overlaps very heavily with Tfilah. However, it's not limited to Tfilah. This type of Bitachan that absolutely works is a subcategory of Bitachan itself. I'm so confident that I'm relying on Hashem. It's literally like someone just told me he's going to give me what I need. And I'm so confident that Hashem is going to give it to me. And that's why I feel 100% biminuch zanefesh. And that's the axiom of Bitachan that for sure works without any exceptions whatsoever. Whereas Tfilah itself, like I say, although the main simple part of our responsibility for filling out our emunah, our Bitachan, etc. One of the main parts of it is just talking to Hashem as we speak about all the time is just Tfilah. Because this type of Bitachan is almost a very high level type of thing. We have to incorporate it in whatever way we can. Whilst at the same time Tfilah itself is available to every single one of us. And as so many terrorist sources teach that to what Hashem wants to create their personal relationship with him, everything is ultimately for the sake of that relationship, etc. But what we spoke about in the recording which you're referring to is that just like by Tfilah, when we dive in for something, Hashem will give it to us. So it's by Bitachan, Hashem will give it to us. And what was meant in the recording is not to make these two concepts the same as if Tfilah works the same as Bitachan. No, it's very clear that they work differently. Like I say, sometimes Hashem says no by Tfilah. Whilst at the same, you know, for whatever reasons. Whereas Bitachan, if a person is 100% sincere, there is no such a thing as no as an answer. It doesn't exist. Hashem will always say yes if a person is 100% sincere. So what we're saying more just this concept of Hashem, of Bitachan working absolutely without any exceptions is more difficult for people to understand than Tfilah. Just like we know, you know, one could argue that why should you dove in for anything? Because if you really believe in Hashem, why are you asking Hashem for it to be different? Why do we have such a Mitzvah Tfilah at all? Because if Hashem knows what's good for me and he's controlling and running the show, let me just not say anything. Just go with the flow. And because I'm in Hashem's hands. But no, we find in countless passages, as you know, that Hashem wants us to dove in for the things, the way that we want them. The example I always give, just because there's so many. But it just takes the imahs. Why do they dove in for children? Why do they say Hashem doesn't want us? That's for the best. No, no, we have a Mitzvah of Tfilah, as in many, many passages, to dove in for things the way that we want them to be. Again, not proving from here that Hashem will for sure give to us. We continue to dove and do our part, the rest is in Hashem's boat. But the point is that we see from here that we're supposed to dove in for things, even if in theory it goes against what Hashem has ordained for us. Because that's the Mitzvah. So similarly, when it comes to Bittachon, one might say, why would you have Bittachon for something to turn out different to Hashem's plans? Bittachon is such a strong axiom that it will for sure work. You might be in big trouble now. It's going to land up different to Hashem's plans. But no, the reason I'm bringing Tfilah is because Tfilah is something that many of us relate to. We all understand we've been brought up that way. We dove in for things, even if it's not how Hashem made it initially. We dove in for things and Hashem can change the plans. Bittachon is a less explored subject. But when it comes to Bittachon, it's the same thing. If you have Bittachon for something, even if initially it was not going to be that way, Hashem now changes the plan. Because the person is 100% sincere in their Bittachon, Hashem will change the plan. But that will be good in every sense of the word. Just like with Tfilah, if you dove in for something sincerely, Hashem will make it work out that taking everything into account, it's going to work out in the best way for you and for everyone. It's taking everything, all your gulgul, everything into account, the same way with Bittachon. Just Bittachon, if a person has absolute Bittachon, Hashem will make it work out that the thing that you have in Bittachon for will work out as if that was the absolute best thing for you, taking everything into account in the way only Hashem knows what to do. The only difference between, again, Tfilah and Bittachon is that by Tfilah, again, it's very interrelated with Bittachon, but by Tfilah itself and its own accord, but I don't know that absolute Bittachon, many of us, most of us on that boat most of the time, we don't have absolute Bittachon in reliance on Hashem, that 100% he's going to give us something, but we dove into him. But at the same, you know, but then sometimes there's many considerations, many Hashems say no to a certain person, or at least right now say no, etc. Whereas Bittachon, the difference is, even though it works in the same way, that we change the plans and it's going to work out good for us, just like Tfilah can, but by Bittachon, if a person is 100% sincere, then for sure it will happen. You ask for Makoris, just the exact Makoris, so we're going through them now, we're in part four, you'll already see in part four already of the Makoris that speak this out, and as we continue in the series, there's many more Makoris that will go through that, speak out very clearly that basic Bittachon is when a person is 100% sincere, Hashem will for sure give us exactly what we're designing, what we haven't been talking about. We should all be talking to the highest levels of Bittachon investment session.

היא מבקש ממך, שזקל להיות שמח הנה היא מבקש ממך, שזקל להיות שמח שזקל להיות משמחה עמיתית הנה נהנה מבקש ממך שזכה להיות סמאב שזכה להיות בסמך אמיתית היא מבקש ממך שזכה להיות סמאב שזכה להיות בסמך אמיתית שזכה להיות סמאב הנה נהנה מבקש ממך שזכה להיות סמאב שזכה להיות בסמך אמיתית שזכה להיות בסמך אמיתית בסמך אמיתית

So, if I've understood you correctly, what you're asking is that, although we've learned in many sources that Bi-Tachan is an axiom of creation, that if you have absolute Bi-Tachan, absolute reliance on Hashem, you're so confident and sincere in that confidence in Hashem that He'll come through for you, He will come through for you. However, how do we know that that will take all factors into account, actually making it good for us, taking everything into account? So again, just to take one example to further your question, when we consider the concept of Gil-Gulim of reincarnation, we know from many sources that there are many, many different considerations which go into each of our, all the details of our lives based on billions of factors. And one of them, which is easy to understand, which is way beyond our grasp of understanding, is the concept of Gil-Gulim reincarnation. Who knows something may, you know, sometimes you see a person struggles with poverty, for example, throughout their life, and they're such a good person and everything, they just seem to be doing everything right. But for whatever reason, it could be in their previous reincarnation, they have a certain something that they need to rectify with regards to money or something like that. And Hashem gave them the choice, you'll come back to this world and your struggle will be, finances will be a struggle, regardless of what you do type of thing. And that will be your main point of this, of being existing in this world. And when you come back to me one day, then, then taking everything into account, having just gone through that ordeal of suffering through poverty, you will reach the highest places in the world to come. And when the person's offered that in the other world, they certainly take that out, they're like, yeah, definitely, I'll come back and I'll go through whatever suffering I have to, etc. So if a person knew that, obviously, they wouldn't be upset with what Hashem has sent them. But to further this question about Bitaachan, so now let's say a person is suffering poverty, or just they want something, etc. And in the bigger picture of things, for example, with Gil-Gulim, etc., it would be better for the person not to have that thing that they're having Bitaachan and Hashem for. So why would Hashem, or even if the post came down, all the Torah companies tell us, that Hashem will give us exactly what we're having Bitaachan for, but maybe we shouldn't have Bitaachan and that could be the argument, because maybe it won't play out so good for us. The person will get back to your mind and say, listen, the initial plan was that you should suffer poverty. Now, because of your Bitaachan, you've earned that plan, so we have to make another plan. So that's a good argument. However, the basic answer to this, you're asking for sources, for my chorus that deal with this concept, the basic answer is very simple. And that is that there are so many psukim throughout the Torah itself, throughout Tanakh, and throughout, you know, literally all of Torah literature that explain to us and call on us, and not only do we have this license and ability to have, if we want, Bitaachan and Hashem. So you might say, listen, if you're very stuck, then you can apply this mechanism of Bitaachan. But no, there are many, many, many psukim that say it is the biggest mitzvah in the world and Hashem begs us, please, if you're in trouble, please, please, please reach out to me and have Bitaachan in me. That is the biggest mitzvah. So by the fact that Hashem is commanding us to do so, it's impossible to say that things will work out different. Hashem is telling us that if you have Bitaachan in me, let me say it differently, if you're in some difficult situation going through some ordeal, what you have to do is you need to have Bitaachan that it's going to work out for you in the best way for you. That's what I'm telling you. Bitaachan Hashem bechol libecha. There's so many psukim throughout, but I'd just like to quote these three. That's what we saw in section two, because it kind of summarizes all the psukim. There's literally so many, and Hashem will get to that as a project in time to come going through the many, many psukim. But Bitaachu v'ashem adayad, we say in one pasuk. In another pasuk, Bitaachu voe v'chol eis. In another one, Bitaachal Hashem bechol libecha. Hashem is telling us all these things. And again, as we've learned from all the Torah commentaries, what it means here when he says Bitaachu v'ach, it means trust in me that it will work out in the best way for you. So that being the case, once we've learned the definition of Bitaachan, it means trust in me for what will work out as best for you. The fact that Hashem is telling us to do so, means that he's going to make everything work out for us. He's not going to tell us to have Bitaachan in me, and then it's going to backfire against you. But the fact that he's telling us this is the biggest mitzvah, it's obvious that that's not going to happen like that. But this is just an introduction to many other Torah sources. We haven't gotten there yet. But there's a beautiful, beautiful leshem, which is a really fundamental piece to how all of Bitaachan works. We're going to see it in part five. And again, I'll just share it with you briefly. The leshem says a beautiful point. It says, in the Torah, you find many examples where Hashem gave a havtacham fureshes, an explicit havtachah that he'll come through for them. So he tells Avramavino, this is your mission. And he says, don't worry, don't be scared. I'll come through for you. Don't be scared. The same with Moshe Rabbein, the same with you. All the other examples in the Torah. Again, if you were told by Hashem himself, listen, this is your mission. And don't worry, even though it seems like there's challenges, I will come through for you. I'll make sure it works out in the best way for you, taking everything into account. Don't worry. You would obviously trust Hashem. So a person might say, okay, that's very nice, but when Hashem reveals himself to a person like the people in the Torah, but that didn't happen to me. So how do I know when a person is struggling with Parnosa? Or something else? Am I asking Hashem, having been taught that he'll give me the Parnosa? How do I know? Maybe he doesn't want that for me. So the Leshem says a beautiful fundamental idea. He says, by the fact that there are so many psukim, exactly what we started off this voice note with. And that is the fact that there's so many psukim throughout all of Torah literature that call on us to have been taught in Hashem. Every time you have been taught in Hashem, it's as if Hashem already gave you have taught him a foreshad for what you haven't been talking about, an explicit promise that what you haven't been talking about. You're asking Hashem for money. You're asking Hashem for certain other situation, for health, for relationship challenge, whatever might be. It's as if Hashem wrote in the Torah, Mr. A is going to go through this Parnosa situation. And don't worry, Mr. A, when you have been taught in me, I am going to come through for you. And everything is going to work into it. Hashem is going to take everything into account that everything is going to work out completely in the best way for you. This is a fascinating idea that Hashem wants us to have been taught for the things that we need in the way that we need. And by doing so, it's as if he's told us in the Torah that it will work out for you in the best way possible. So again, all these Makoros and the Torah sources, they work together. And as we see more and more, we'll get a better understanding. But this is quite a direct answer to what you're asking. I hope if there's anything else, please let me know. We are best to clarify Bezrat Hashem, but we should always look at the highest levels of it.

Again, another amazing question you're asking about the foundations of Bittachan. If Bittachan is clearly an axiom like we've learned in so many Makharis that always works if a person is sincere in their Bittachan in Hashem. So how can it be that many tzadikim throughout the generations, bad things happen to them? Why don't they tap into the power of Bittachan? I mean, if Bittachan can save you from death, Bittachan can save you from suffering. We know many tzadikim who are way greater level than any of us. They certainly knew about Bittachan. Why didn't they tap into Bittachan to save them from their situations? Does that mean Bittachan doesn't always work? There are exceptions, etc. That's what it seems to be. So in many instances, question again, we have a section on that in the Transforming of Bittachan series, where we specifically go through these sources of why, how bad things could happen to tzadikim who knew about the power of Bittachan. I'll just share two perspectives now from the Lashem, which just shed some light in a beautiful way on the topic. The first one, the Lashem explains that it comes out that the tzadikim, of course they knew they could be saved by Bittachan, but they also knew there's a higher level of service to Hashem, just called Miseras Nefesh, where a person reaches such a level that they don't have any rotson of their own. Literally, their rotson is the same as Hashem's. And people of such a great stature, they don't want to use the power of Bittachan to save them because they don't have a different rotson. So what this means is really we can break Bittachan to simplify it into three different levels. The most basic level that people usually, and it's a very high level still, but usually people refer to Bittachan as Hashem can do anything but not necessarily will he do anything for me. So this is an example. A person's in the doctor's office and the doctor says there's a major problem. So a person davans and says, listen Hashem, I know you can save me, even if the doctor's saying whatever he's saying, I know there's no such thing as statistics and the natural order of the world in one second. You can save me. Will that for sure happen? Not necessarily for sure. I accept whatever you do, even if it's very bitter and difficult, I accept that that's the best for me. But I'm asking you Hashem that it should be sweet for me. That will be Bittachan level number one, which people usually call the chazanesh type of Bittachan again as we discuss in the series. Then level number two is the main Bittachan we've been discussing in the series that you're so confident Bittachan, sorry let me just take this trade back. In level number one, your Ratsan is different to in theory Hashem's higher Ratsan. Even if Hashem would want a person to be sick, your Ratsan is, I want to be better. And therefore you dive into Hashem, I want to be better, but I accept if you want your Ratsan, even though I have a different Ratsan. That's element number one. Element number two is, again, I have a different Ratsan maybe to Hashem's higher Ratsan. Hashem might want a person to be sick in a higher level of his plans. But my Bittachan, my Ratsan, my will is I want to be better. I don't want to be sick. And therefore I'm now tapping into relying on Hashem that he's going to come through for me, for my Ratsan in the way that I need. So I ask Hashem, please make me better and I'm counting on you, that you will for sure make me better. And a person has a lot of conversations with Hashem and a lot of meditation, etc. just really trying to get to that sincere place of really relying on Hashem that they know they're 100% going to get better. But then you have a higher level of Bittachan, which is such a high level, really, really not, the Hashem Ratsan is usually not applicable to people, certainly in our generation. But again, it's certainly worthwhile knowing about it. And we'll get there in that section because it's worthwhile just knowing what the different levels are to know what we can aim at, what we can apply. The Hashem says a person can get to such a high place of Bittachan in Hashem that you don't have a Ratsan of your own anymore. You don't, you're meaning to say, the doctor says a person's got an illness. One's instinctive response is they start dancing. They don't want to be better if they got an illness because they trust Hashem so much that he always does what's best for them. And if a person reaches such a high level of closeness to Hashem, they don't need to have Bittachan for their own Ratsan because they don't want their own Ratsan. They just want Hashem's will to come through. If Hashem wants them to be sick and that's what he's done, they're not going to even dive in for anything to be different. They're not going to have Bittachan for anything to be different. And this is one answer that Leshem gives how many great Zadikim bad things happen to them. They tapped into this high level of Bittachan, almost a level of Messiah's nefesh that they wanted to apply rather than using the classic type of Bittachan that is discussed in most Torah commentaries. We want to realize on Hashem to save me for what I need and for what I want. That is one answer. Another answer, which is also very powerful, which he brings, he says, this is really to make you fall off your chain. Anyone who's familiar with Torah literature, just realize that the foundation of all of Torah is B'chira, free choice as we know. And B'chira, we know from so many svarim, Hashem barely ever removes one's B'chira away, one's free choice. One of the foundations of living in this world again is for the sake of earning the next world, et cetera, is that we have free choice to do what we want, what we in this in this world. Hashem barely makes a person do something without beyond their free choice. However, says the leshem, B'chira is something which is, is, well, let's say, Bittachan is something which is even beyond B'chira. So Bittachan is such a strong axiom of creation that Hashem cannot get in the way of Bittachan, so to speak. He created the world in the way that if a person has absolute Bittachan, Hashem cannot change the plans. It's impossible. Hashem can have a plan. A person needs to die. A person needs to become poor, whatever it might be. If a person has absolute Bittachan, he can, so to speak, not get involved. That that Bittachan, so to speak, overpowers Hashem. That's how Hashem created the world, the axiom of Bittachan. But sometimes Hashem has a bigger plan. For example, he really needs a person to die and leave this world. For the bigger plan of things, things that we can't understand. So what does Hashem do in this situation? He removes a person's B'chira, free choice to be able to have Bittachan. So Hashem can't remove Bittachan, but he can remove B'chira, free choice, which is something that barely ever happens, so that a person won't have the ability to have Bittachan, just to teach us again. So again, that answers the question, how come there were many great sadikim that died? Bad things happen. Sometimes in the bigger picture, Hashem wants a certain thing to happen. So Hashem removes the free choice from that sadik to be able to apply Bittachan. They lose the state of mind. They lose the inspiration, et cetera, the knowledge, whatever might be to be able to apply Bittachan in those moments, not because Bittachan doesn't work, but because they don't have free choice anymore to apply Bittachan. Again, these are technical issues, but just shows us just how powerful Bittachan is. Bittachan always works to the point that if Hashem wants it not to work, he cannot cancel Bittachan. He cannot do that, but rather what he does, he cancels out the ability of a person to have free choice B'chira to be able to apply Bittachan. And now that he's removed a person's B'chira, now they can't have Bittachan because he's removed the person's B'chira just like Hashem can make a person

That's another amazing question you're addressing again with the fundamentals of Bittachan. The way you've put it is if a person has such strong Bittachan in Hashem, why do we need a Da'van for anything? I'll use your example. If a child knows without a doubt that their father will give them an ice cream, they don't continue asking their father for ice cream. So the question is why do we Da'van to Hashem for anything if we have, if a person reaches the highest levels of Bittachan? And the answer to your question is There are times that a person can reach the highest levels of Bittachan and then exactly what you're saying is true They won't even Da'van anymore. And again, that's that's famous from the Midrash You know that famous Midrash which is bought in numerous places, but there was the four great kings. The highest king, the highest level was David Amelich and he applied his Stadlus to his Bittachan to the point that he went out to war to fight besides for Da'van to Hashem to win the war He also went out to fight the war. The king which was a little bit below him in his spiritual stature He said he doesn't want to go fight the war because he'll attribute the success to his own doing So he just Da'van to Hashem and then the next king a little bit lower stature again These were the greatest of the greatest, but I'm saying compared to us compared to David Amelich They were on a lower level. The next king said he doesn't even, doesn't want to even Da'van This was Chiskyahu Amelich, the final king He doesn't want to even Da'van because because if he Da'van to Hashem to win the war He'll attribute the success to his own Da'vaning. So what did he do? He just went to sleep He didn't even Da'van. He just relied on Hashem. Hashem will sort everything out. I'm not Da'vaning I'm going to sleep and he won the war. Again This is another issue of how much he Stadlus to put in Chvila Sometimes an element of his Stadlus and the high level person is Sometimes the more he Stadlus a person can do just like we found by David Amelich Again, we go through this more in the series, but just briefly for now. So There's no question. There is an element of sometimes getting to such a high place of Bitaachan that I don't need to have to fill But I'll just share one thing again. These are more technical issues Sometimes yes, if a person is so reliant on Hashem, they're so confident. They're getting what they need. They won't Da'van anymore They'll just go to sleep. They're so confident But to get to such a high place is a very very very high level and the danger of this whole Bitaachan Fela all the journey again, these are the very good technical questions, but obviously when it becomes practical Sometimes what happens is, you know, when you hear from someone they say listen, I heard this amazing thing Bitaachan works beyond the shadow of a doubt. I'm stopping my job. I'm just relying on Hashem It's gonna be so easy. I just have to have a little bit of Bitaachan. I get everything I need. Isn't that amazing? I don't have to work from eight to five unbelievable a person who has that approach is missing the boat Why because they're treating Bitaachan like like it's like it's a piece of cake It is much harder to reach these high levels of Bitaachan than doing an eight to five job It is a very very high level to achieve these high levels of absolute sincere Bitaachan Hashem And it's constant work, constant climbing. Can can can you achieve it? No question And so and as I'm teaching in a moment you can achieve it But at the same time it's hard work to constantly be on this journey So on the one hand we have to realize that every single one of us can attain it Any and all levels of Bitaachan and continue the journey and just being on the journey is the highest reward as we've said We've said many times on the other hand to realize that to be to be a real Bal Bitaachan is the highest of the high of the highest levels And that being the case to assume that one is on such a high level that they don't need to dove in for something Usually a person cannot do if a person is there you'll know you'll be you know you'll know that you're there If a person like like that a show brings he brings that if but these highest levels of Bitaachan Usually how a person discerns that they're there. They don't have any questions There's no need to ask anything. They have such trust in a shem that they just they just relying on a shem Yes, they're not governing they're not doing anything in terms of this particular need They don't they don't have Paranasa. They're not that they don't have a care in the world They know that a shem is coming through for them tomorrow. That is a very very high level Yes, if a person achieves that level in a sense like you're saying They don't need to doubt they don't need to doubt at the same time And this you know that that's one element at the same time is I think just two perspectives to share on the one hand Most of us are never are most of the time not on that level and we certainly have to assume that we have to do what? Everyone else has done throughout Kaldi so even our ancestors in the Torah themselves who weren't on this level We're talking at that stage of their life That they dove into a shem the Emois and the many others that they dove into a shem for what they needed Even though they also trusted in a shem That's a and be also just to realize that an element of his status Which again his status is a huge discussing Discussion in its owner at which again will get to as one of the later parts of the transform we've been talking series How much is that list you have to put in a person at the highest level of be talking doesn't take medicine Most of us in today's generation are not on that level that would mean literally you're right on a shem You don't take medicine, but any medicine ever doesn't go to work doesn't do anything because they rely on a shem 100% rubbish in biochai didn't go to work and many others like that But most of us today are not like rubbish in biochai So the question is how much he started so you obligated to make so again This is a huge icon some oversummarize it's this in threes in a few in this few these few minutes Voice note because the huge topping will get there and break it down There's not shem in that section, but the very simply speaking and briefly There are many different levels and like the mirror says a shem till high shem is your shadow The more be talking you have the more just like you see a shadow if you put one finger out You see what shadow of one thing you put five fingers This year's is your shadow of five fingers simply would be talking someone who has full be talking a shem They see a shem's as coca like the foot in in in the full sense in their life if they only have one set one finger what one finger's breath of Be talking to a shem and then they have many backup plans playing a plan B plan C plan D If a shem doesn't come through then a shem comes through to that sense of ash coca And that being the case there are many different levels that we all need to tap into of his status Some is the practical his status how much you go to work how much you go to take medicine When a person is trying to find a shit, I do they visit one shot fun five shot honey to what extent again? It varies very subjective. It's not like other areas of our lacha where we have a very clearly defined shulchanaruch This is how you keep services. How you wash your hands His status is an area that is very very subjective as we'll get to in that section to every individual depending on your level of Bitochen and that being the case one of the elements of his status is to filler so again Yes, maybe somebody on the highest levels of Bitochen wouldn't even need a doubt for certain things They're just so confident. They literally they know that a shem's coming through for them But most of us in terms of our requirement of his status have an obligatio
