0640 - Bitochon 13

00:01 We know that one of the things of the man was to teach us Bitachon, that the Eden were able to rely on Hashem knowing for sure that the next day he's gonna get his food, even though there at the Teva there's nothing there, but the Abish to give every day, and that's supposed to teach us Bitachon, as we said many, many times. But in Lakuti Sichas, Chelikta Zayin, page 176, the Rebbe goes into a deeper even Peshat. This is what the Rebbe says there. Mon was Lechamin Hashemayim, and that was a preparation to the Yiddens entering Eretz Yisroel, where they would have to start eating Lechamin Haaretz. The Mon came from heaven, directly from heaven, but when they came to Eretz Yisroel, they had to work for it, but there at the Teva, plow and plant, et cetera, et cetera, until they would get the food. The reason Hashem made it that before they entered Eretz Yisroel, for a long time they had the Mon, is because through having the Mon, that showed the Yidden begoloy, in a very open and revealed way, that their Parnosa and all their needs is given to them only by Hashem himself. So this prepared them and gave them the Koach, that also when they came to Eretz Yisroel, called Eretz Nesheves, where they had to go through the Seder of Derech HaTeva, they should also not forget that Hu HaNes and the Koach, Asis Chayal, that the Eibish is the one that gives us the ability to get

01:15 everything that we have. He gives it to us. But the Rebbe says there is more than that. The Lechamin Hashemayim, which is the Mon, which is a preparation to the entering of Eretz Yisroel, was not only a preparation and a Koach when you go into Eretz Yisroel to feel that the Eibish will always give you, which could mean that usually we get things naturally, but we're sure that even if Chas v'Shalom, naturally there is no way we will get it, nevertheless, I have trust in Hashem. I know for sure that the Eibish will make a Nes and give it to us. That's not the point. The point is deeper than that. It taught us that even when we do get it naturally, and the person does things in Derech HaTeva in order to get what he's supposed to get, and the reason he does it is because Hashem said so. Really, everything comes from Hashem, but Hashem said, Hashem will bless you in everything that you do, so we have to do. So we work and we do in the Derech HaTeva, we get what we're supposed to get. So what we're really supposed to remember that even then we have Bitachon that it all comes from the Eibish. See, it's not like some people think Bitachon means if I get it naturally, you get it naturally. But if not, the Eibish will still give me. Even when we get it naturally in a normal way, a Yid knows that this is really coming from

02:30 the Eibish. Like a Nes, this is no difference, a Nes and Teva. Everything's from the Eibish. And what it means is, even more than that, that if we have the real Bitachon, knowing that whatever we get, even if it's Derech HaTeva, it's really from the Eibish, then obviously it's not limited to Derech HaTeva. Because really it's not Teva. And this is what the Moma's supposed to teach the Yidden. That they should realize that the idea of the Mon, which is the real Bitachon, that everything comes from Hashem, was supposed to penetrate not only in their mind that they should know that even if I can get it Derech HaTeva, I will still get it because Hashem will give it to me. It's supposed to penetrate in their mind into the Derech HaTeva that they should realize that the Derech HaTeva is also from the Eibish, like the Mon.
