We must internalize a profound truth: all of our strenuous efforts to earn a livelihood—our hishtadlus—are ultimately futile in achieving the result, yet we are still obligated to perform them. This is the decree of the King, Hashem, who told Adam, "with the sweat of your brow, you are going to eat." How do we reconcile the obligation to work with the knowledge that Hashem is the sole provider of our sustenance? The holy Tzadik, Rav Avigdor Miller ZT"L, illustrates this complex concept with a gripping narrative. He tells the story of a man who found himself in prison. Active and productive before his incarceration, the isolation and inactivity plunged him into deep depression. A compassionate guard, seeing his distress, offered him a way to feel useful. The guard drilled a hole in the wall, inserted a long pole, and told the inmate that on the other side, the pole was attached to a mill. The prisoner was told he would be grinding grain into flour to feed the other inmates, finally doing something productive. Overjoyed, the man worked diligently, day in and day out, for many years. The day of his release finally arrived. As he prepared to leave, the man begged the guard to show him the mill he had worked with for so long. He wanted to see the structure he had only imagined. He took the man to the spot outside the cell wall. What the inmate saw next was unexpected... We must see ourselves reflected in this intense story. Our obligation to perform hishtadlus is absolute because Hashem decreed it, but our sustenance comes independently, through a separate channel directly from Him. The more we internalize this fundamental Torah lesson, the calmer and more relaxed our lives will become, recognizing that we are lovingly cared for by Hashem regardless of the outcome of our efforts. Understanding this separation between our work and our provision is the key to a joyful life in this world and the world to come.
