Every step along the way, keep one thing in mind: The same G‑d who runs the big, wide world, guiding the stars in the heavens along their steady path, the planets in their orbits, and the seasons in their cycle, is without a doubt the same G‑d who runs your little world, every detail of it.
Your job is to manage the craft you've been placed within as best you can while He guides it on its journey through many galaxies. You also have to avoid getting in the way.
How do you get in the way? By stubbornly grasping the controls, as though you alone are the captain of this ship.
Loosen your grasp and allow miracles to unfold.
Based on a letter, volume 25, page 61.
What is Emunah? Trusting G-d in every way. To learn this takes us on a journey from complete self will to complete denial of our imagined self. What is imagined self you ask? I can help you realize this: we are stuck in what is known as the symbolic process.
For example:
There is an animal we call a cat. There are many in the world, and some people like them, others dislike them. It can bring out quite an argument, even violence between neighbors. Suppose they spend nights caterwauling. I’m sure you get the gist of this. We collect all these many symbols in the form of names, sounds, smells, etc. and identify with them, while the real deal is G-d’s responsibility. Every time we try to force our opinion we may be totally wrong about what He is doing.
He is not living with the burden of time like we are: because in our bodies, we are time bound. Our souls are not. Drop the imagination and fantasy of Earth. Identify with the True Ruler of All.
