273. Money

Monetary laws are a big profession, and a person is recognizable through his purse, for the soul of a person cherishes money, especially in these generations, and a person always considers his own opinion to be correct and will find forty-nine ways to prove that a dead insect is pure even though it is actually impure. He will do this in monetary matters, with things like theft, trickery, lending with interest, fraud etc.

There are people who fear Hashem, and therefore do not commit the well-known crimes, but nevertheless commit crimes which they call permitted, and they call it saving, profiting, cleverness and sharpness. The real Jew who believes in Hashem and His holy Torah, and in the holy words of Chazal, will believe with complete belief that one who becomes wealthy by breaking the law, will lose that wealth halfway through his days, and his end will be disgraced in the next world. even if his wealth does not abandon him, it will be the type of wealth which is kept to cause bad to its owners, and he will bitterly regret it. One who walks with simple trust will walk securely, and the blessing of Hashem will enrichen, and there is nothing withholding Hashem from saving whether a lot or a little. One who reflects on this fact, will find goodness either in this world or in the next world which is completely good, and one who trust in Hashem will be fortunate in this world and the next.

 

“My brothers and my nation, take this sefer Torah, and with this, and like this learn well, so that you should have it good; listen and enliven your soul, and achieve gladness and joy in this world and the world to come” (From the author’s intro.)
