There is a parnassa segula for this coming Shabbat Shira! Share and comment on it! We would love to hear from you. Thank you Zahava for creating such an artistic page for all to enjoy!
Let us see through a parable what it means when Chazal teach us that our hishtadlut, exerted effort in this world does not affect the outcome of the activity which we engage in.
Per example; a person wakes up late one morning and rushes to the train station to see the train waiting on the platform. He is in such a hurry to get to work on time that he decides to help the train move faster by pushing it. The effort required of him to arrive to work on time lies solely in him reaching the train station and waiting for his train to come. Pushing the train would not serve to help nor was asked from him. This is an example of exerting too much unnecessary effort in earning one’s parnassa.
When we involve ourselves in the everyday world; work and invest the universally ‘accepted’ amount of time at work, we rectify Adam HaRishon’s sin, elevate ourselves spiritually and implant holy sparks and Divine blessing in all of our material endeavors.
Remember: we must take part in a certain degree of effort, since this is decreed by Hashem for us to do. Our hishtadlut opens the pipeline for the bracha to pour forth. However, it is crucial to recall the idea that no matter how much time, strength, intelligence or talent we put into our work or any activity for that matter, it is all in Hashem’s hands…. Always!
