Book Title Bringing Heaven Down to Earth
Based on letters and talks of the Rebbe, Rabbi M. M. Schneerson
« Previous Next »

59. Unlimited Channels

You have today's meal before you on the table and sit and fret over what will be tomorrow -- and you claim you are "just being practical."

This is not being practical -- this is confusion.

Every day you are nourished straight from His full, open and overflowing hand. Everything in between -- all your work and accounts and bills and receivables and clientele and prospects and investments -- all is but a cloud of interface between His giving hand and your soul, an interface of no real substance which He bends and flexes at whim.

If so, if He is feeding you today, and He has fed you and provided all you need and more all these days, what concerns could you have about tomorrow? Is there then something that could stand in His way? Could He possibly have run out of means to provide for you?

Take your focus off the measured channels by which you receive and place your eyes on the Infinite Source of Giving. The Source has no lack of channels.

Amen va Amen...
I have felt a deep change in my life since studying Chassidis. Clearly 95% if not 99% of our troubles come from within ourselves (our Animal Souls.)

We seem to question everything when we should simply give deep and sincere thanks to the Holy One Blessed Be He.

Somehow mankind is still in a state of "Me me me" and can not seem to understand the true Master of our destinies. When we have good fortune in business or in a meeting which we did not expect a good outcome. We tend to say "damn I was so good." Instead maybe we should say "Blessed be G-d... Who is good and does good."

Possibly because G-d is not in front of us or possibly because he created us and gave us these tools which allow us to say "thank me very much" that we act this way.

I see where G-d praised Moshe more than any other prophet or father because he was "the humblest man who ever lived." His lack of self praise and appreciation for G-d surely is what inspired Praise from the Holy One Above.

He is the infinite source of giving
Nothing and nobody is too small and unimportant to Him.
I - the old grandmother (is there something more unimportant???) - had to go to the hairdresser. A cloudburst started. I worried I would have to sit there with wet shoes and prepared a bag with a second pair. We were told that the rain would not stop during the whole day.
"If You wanted to", I said to G-d, "You could make stop this rain like nothing. Just for me." I smiled at Him.
Then, the moment I got out, the rain stopped. Just from one second to the other.
I was impressed and moved. On my way back too. No drop. I thought about the fact that nobody and nothing is unimportant to G-d. In every breath we take, He tells us: "I care for you."
Blessed is he!

Perspective
Who is more powerful than He, that could step in and come and snatch away what He has intended for us to have?
