The lives of those who know Hashem

Postby odisraelchai on Wed Oct 29, 2008 2:15 am

Shalom. Hello. It would be good to point out a certain teaching I had read a week or so ago that relates to how Hashem punishes the righteous ones who know Him very well and are daily servers of Hashem through prayer, studies, and anything else that makes one very aware and close to Hashem, and the way Hashem punishes the wicked, or people who have not seen the great wonders of Hashem and have not worked for him very much at all in their lives, or who have not yet found Hashem's will or knowledge for their specific life. It is said that Hashem punishes and afflicts the righteous very harshly, but the wicked He is not so harsh against because He desires that the wicked become righteous. If the wicked were judged the same way as tzaddiks by Hashem, then the world would lose a lot of tzaddiks who needed time to become one, especially in the exile when Jews don't always grow up learning Torah. Also, the wicked have been and will be given a little bit more time before the final redemption, so entirely their life is in their own hands, and their reward is with Hashem if they repent and remove the spirit of defilement from themselves and wish for greatness. But with the righteous, I feel that if they were to sin, Hashem could easily make the case that they were warned plenty by study of Torah and teachings from tzaddiks. Also, when one is greatly afflicted, they must return to Hashem for healing and for constant deliverance from the Sitra Achra and the evil inclination, until the great day when the evil inclination is removed from this world, and righteousness will reign forever. We must guard all our actions, because it is easier to commit a transgression than it is to pray, and prayer is the basis for all healings and blessings into a person's life so that we receive riches from Hashem, either spiritually or materially. We also cannot, G-d forbid, grow weary or tired with our mission in this world, because Hashem will always provide Israel with greatness, and the righteous are greatly loved by Hashem and will have a great portion in the World to Come. When I grow faint from my life, I just remember that if I do not keep on fighting, the Other Side will prevail in my life, so I turn to my studies again and continue on my path of prayer.

-"may the righteous flourish in his days, abundant peace beyond the days of the moon." Tehillim 72
