Baram we wrap up another incredible week
of learning five minutes of in a day
with the incredible incredible bas over
here and we begin the sixth chapter.
Now, this chapter is going to segue in
from the world of theoretical
and we're going to introduce perhaps the
most difficult ingredient in the
equation which is
because until you actually have to get
up and work when we're sitting and we're
discussing lofty incredible ideas, don't
let people bother you. Don't be afraid
of other people. Realize that God is
that puppeteer pulling the strings. It
all sounds so nice and fluffy. Don't
pounce on the rock that's thrown at you.
Don't be that foolish dog, but rather go
back and see where it all comes from in
our minds, in our It sounds so
beautiful. But then comes the practical
world. Then comes the world of Ishtados
comes the world of working of making
money of parnasa of the difficult lives
sometimes that we live with big bills
and all of a sudden it gets very murky
gets very unclear how much should I work
what should I be doing what's my
attitude and with that question we begin
the sixth chapter that the basis teaches
us and we'll read a few of his words.
Similarly, a complete segue from that
which we were talking about is when it
comes to our misin when it comes to our
sustenance comes to our bank accounts.
When it comes to making money, the exact
same item applies.
does not help at all.
Does not help one little bit to get more
than that which Hashem decreed one
should have. And he proves this from the
man. And he continues and he says that
the was
not help at all. Not the slightest bit
to get a little bit more. And the
footnotes over here of David Satan does
such a magnificent job in playing out
this detail. And I'm going to begin with
footnote number 20. And let's play out
the following scene. We're sitting in a
midbar taken care of by God literally
living from him. Every morning we go
out, there's mud on the ground. We
collect from our for our families and we
go back. And I can imagine there were
people that probably woke up one day and
looked outside and said, "Hey, why do I
have to go out every day and collect the
money? Let me just take extra." Or maybe
there was a time that one felt it's just
extra sitting here so let me gather a
little bit more. And he explains on the
bottom over here incredibly there was so
much mud on the ground the medish when
you turn over to page 16 in the
footnotes explains the medish the yalut
that there was a tremendous amount of
mun
much more than was necessary. And
imagine you go out and you collect out
one portion, five portions, 10 portions.
You come home, you unload your mun, you
load up your cabinets, and guess what?
There's the exact amount for one portion
per family member.
Strange magic. WHAT JUST HAPPENED? And
imagine the next day, you, your wife,
your two kids, you get four portions.
You go out, you take eight, you take 12,
you come back with bag fulls of mun, you
unload it into the cabinet. Lo and
behold, the exact same four portions are
there.
Cesar of David Satan. These are the
words of the Bi.
The man is there to teach us ley
for eternity that Hashem provides us
perfectly precisely that which we need.
We could sit there and say, "BUT IF I
WORK EXTRA, IF I TRY TO DO THIS, IF I
TRY TO DO THAT, I'M GOING TO PUSH, I'm
going to squeeze, I'll make more."
Says Hashem, "What you're doing is a
waste of time. It's completely feudal."
Of course, we don't live in the open
miracle world like the midbar in which
it was so obvious that you walk home and
you open your cabinet and it's the same
four portions. But let us start to
realize Hashem is ger
decrees how much we will make
irregardless.
So of course we have to do the we have
to work and it's difficult and it's
hard. We have to realize and remind
ourselves that whatever is going to be
in our bank account at the end of the
day is going to be exactly not a dollar
more or a penny less than God decreed we
should Have
