Sha’ar HaBitachon - Episode Thirty-One ~ ! Rabbainu Bachaya now introduces yet a fourth life-affirming “Torah” advantage achieved by one who lives with proper Bitachon; absolute Trust in Hashem. Human Beings, by their very nature endlessly obsess over finances. And most often, having money, or losing it takes a serious toll on one’s ethical persona and character. Ambitious pursuit of wealth can easily blind and corrupt, while its attainment can pridefully pervert even previously humble and sensitive people. Is it possible for ordinary men and women to successfully maintain healthy, balanced spiritual stamina or moral equilibrium despite achieving extraordinary affluence and plenty? The Sha’ar HaBitachon says yes and shows us how! With a proper Faith-based and Trusting attitude we can nurture our inner soulful strength, courage, and conviction. He provides us the Torah timeless answers we need to an ageless conundrum that has plagued humanity for millennia. If wealth can wreak havoc on people’s spiritual stature, losing money can be even more painful and debilitating. By providing us with an elevated perspective on acquisition of wealth, the author empowers us to reframe your perspective and view things right, because by having Bitachon that one can find the truest inner fulfillment regardless of superficial circumstances. To be sure, the importance of these insightful ideas cannot be overemphasized, because when all is said and done, money can materialize overnight, and it can also disappear as quickly as it came. This cycle of life or proverbial turning wheel of fortune can cause endless anxiety for the rich and profound pain for the impoverished. Developing and maintaining proper Bitachon vaporizes those worries and endows people the strength to cope even equally flourish in fortune or famine alike! And as King Solomon wisely illustrates, possessing profound faith-based perspectives allows people to transcend jealous envy of others have and find contentment in what they have. Rabbi Mendel Kaplan
