Sha’ar HaBitachon - Episode Eight
~ !
Regarding "True Trust" in G-d, R' Bachaya establishes the principle that its efficacy is dependent on it being experienced in Monochromatic Monogamy. Anything less singular or absolute causes G-d to remove His Providence.
But does that mean that Hashem disengages? And, if that statement is to be taken at face value, can it jibe with the Baal ShemTovonian idea that Individual Providence and Divine Design is always at play with G-d "bringing existence into being each moment?"
Rabbi Mendel Kaplan
