EVERYTHING IS FROM HASHEM

THE REBBE OF SAVRAN ZY"A
TAUGHT THAT WHEN A PERSON KNOWS THAT EVERYTHING COMES FROM HASHEM, HE WILL NOT FEEL PRIDE AND GAAVAH.

MY MOUTH IS LIKE THE PEN OF A SCRIBE

" YOUR LIPS ARE SATURATED WITH CHARM, " THIS IS A BLESSING FROM G-D

( TEHILLIM 45:2 )

THE REBBE OF SAVRAN EXPLAINS:

THERE ARE VERY GOOD SPEAKERS, PEOPLE FLOCK TO LISTEN TO THEIR DIVREI TORAH.

BUT THIS SHOULD NOT CAUSE THEM TO FEEL PRIDE, SINCE IT IS NOT THEIR OWN TALENT OR RIGHTEOUSNESS, IT COMES FROM HASHEM.

WHEN PEOPLE TELL HIM, "YOUR WORDS ARE SATURATED WITH CHARM "

HE CAN REPLY " IT IS A BLESSING FROM HASHEM."

HE RECOGNISES THAT HE IS LIKE A PEN IN THE HAND OF A SCRIBE. IT DOES NOT HAVE ANY FEELINGS OF PRIDE, BECAUSE THE PEN KNOWS THAT IT IS NOT HIM, IT  IS THE SCRIBE WHO IS HOLDING HIM.

THE SPEAKER SHOULD KNOW, THAT IT IS NOT HIM, IT IS HASHEM WHO IS GRANTING HIM THESE ABILITIES.
