0:00 So regarding emunah and bitachon - what exactly, what is the difference? It sounds like the same thing. I will give you a parable. If I now say to you, come, let us go together, you and I, let us travel to the desert. For the road, I take this gold coin. I say to you, I have travel money for the road. You do not see how much I have in the sack. You believe me that I have the means to travel with you. But if I go without a sack, I go with the coin in my hand - you see the coins? You say, wow, he surely has. So you are much calmer on the trip. The moment you do not see what I have to pay, you believe me; the moment you see what I have to pay
0:30 you trust me. When you believe in the Holy One, blessed be He, that He will save you and He is All-Powerful, and there is one who is certain that He will save him, as if he has no doubt in reality - that is a difference of heaven and earth. What closeness do you have to the Creator? Is it from the side of emunah or from the side of bitachon? We need to reach the level of bitachon. Emunah is not enough. In this generation emunah is not enough. One must trust in the Holy One, blessed be He, that He will do everything for a person, everything, everything, that He will do for a person - that a person should reach the level of perfect bitachon, cleaving to Hashem, so that he does not fear or dread anything, and the Holy One, blessed be He, will provide him everything and make him succeed in everything he needs. And for this one needs much, much patience and forbearance.
1:05 Every person is not worthy, no matter who - bring the greatest tzaddik: who is worthy before Hashem? We are not worthy of anything. But bitachon is a kind of praise to the Holy One, blessed be He. He looks at the person: "Cast your way upon Hashem; trust in Him, and He will act" - that you trust in Hashem, and you, as it were, show the Holy One, blessed be He, that He is with me, He will not leave me. I know that He will arrange this for me, I trust in Him. You force the Upper Ones to do your will.
