TRUST Those with deep trust in God are the “organs of conception and birth,” as it were. Everything that is born in this world, all the blessings that flow into it, everything comes about through trust. The way to develop trust is through listening to the stories of the Tzaddikim. There are many people who sleep away their days. They need to be aroused, and the way to arouse them is by showing them the radiance of Torah. But because they are asleep, it could be damaging to expose them to the full light of Torah too suddenly. The Tzaddikim veil the wisdom of the Torah in stories which have the power to arouse those who are asleep. These people are literally like the dumb. They are totally incapable of uttering a single holy word. But when they are roused from their sleep, the power of speech is liberated. Then they begin to speak with tremendous force. Holy speech strengthens our trust in God. Those who were barren are able to give birth and attain true awe of Heaven (60:6-8).
בִּטָּחוֹן
א. בַּטְחָנֵי הַדּוֹר הֵם בְּחִינַת כְּלֵי הַהוֹלָדָה. כִּי כָּל הַהוֹלָדוֹת וְכָל הַהַשְׁפָּעוֹת נִמְשָׁכִין עַל־יְדֵי בִּטָּחוֹן. וְזֶה זוֹכִין עַל־יְדֵי שֶׁשּׁוֹמְעִין סִפּוּרֵי מַעֲשִׂיּוֹת מִצַּדִּיקִים אֲמִתִּיִּים, שֶׁיֵּשׁ לָהֶם כֹּחַ לְעוֹרֵר מֵהַשֵּׁנָה עַל־יְדֵי סִפּוּרֵי מַעֲשִׂיּוֹת שֶׁלָּהֶם, שֶׁעַל־יְדֵי זֶה יוֹצֵא הַדִּבּוּר בְּכֹחַ גָּדוֹל. שֶׁאוֹתָן שֶׁהָיוּ בִּבְחִינַת שֵׁנָה שֶׁהָיוּ כְּאִלְּמִים מַמָּשׁ וְלֹא הָיוּ יְכוֹלִים לְדַבֵּר כְּלָל שׁוּם דִּבּוּר שֶׁבִּקְּדֻשָּׁה, נִתְעוֹרְרִין עַכְשָׁו מִשֵּׁינָתָם וּמַתְחִילִים לְדַבֵּר בְּכֹחַ גָּדוֹל. וְעַל־יְדֵי הַדִּבּוּר נִתְחַזֵּק הַבִּטָּחוֹן, וְעַל־יְדֵי זֶה נִפְקָדִין עֲקָרוֹת וְזוֹכִין לְיִרְאָה (עַיֵּן יִרְאָה): (לק"א סי' ס' אות ו' ח')
