0:00 You understand? What am I saying? It is easier for Hashem, blessed be He, to give a person infinity, and harder for Him to give a person a penny. It is really hard for Him. 'A person's match is as hard as the splitting of the Red Sea.' 'A person's livelihood is as hard as the splitting of the Red Sea.' Because from the side of His nature, may He be blessed, He bestows everything without end, He gives without measure, because that is how He, may He be blessed, conducts Himself.
0:30 Therefore the situation is like the splitting of the Red Sea. So what is it about livelihood, that it is as hard as the splitting of the Red Sea? Why is livelihood as hard as the splitting of the Red Sea? Hashem, blessed be He, when He created, He created everything without measure. He creates water - endless waters; He creates a sea - endless drops of sea, endless drops of water, endless fish. Hashem, blessed be He, creates everything - trees, fruit trees, grasses.
0:57 Nothing is lacking in His world. He left nothing lacking in our world. And everything for people to enjoy - good creatures, good trees. Everything Hashem, blessed be He, created is all for benefit; it is all His. Only with us, from the side of the receivers, does a distinction come about, in this way of looking. But what Hashem, blessed be He, wants to explain to us is that you should understand this, yes? This is what I am saying: that it is harder - I am not saying that it is hard - It is because of the wording, 'a person's match is hard,' or 'his livelihood is hard' - I say it in the same language: that it is hard for Hashem, blessed be He, to give a hundred coins to a person, it is easier for Him to give infinity.
1:40 That is to say, for Hashem, blessed be He, it is easier.
