Studying Sha’ar HaBitachon, Rabbeinu Bachaya’s “Gate of Trust”~ the Timeless Torah Book that can teach you to How to Live with Certainty and Discover Tranquility!
Episode #7 “SOLE RELIANCE” Before moving onto detailed technical strategies of implementing “True Trust” there’s a major “Trust Issue” that needs to be dealt with, defined, and resolved. It revolves around the requisite singular devotion and a mandatory “Must of Monogamy” that Bitachon in Hashem demands!
To be sure, Rabbeinu Bachaya is quite unequivocal about the absolute need for Singularity of our Trust in Hashem. But why indeed must it be so, what’s wrong with taking some comfort in a little diversification and relying on others too as a back up? After all, as mere mortals we innately crave layers of reassurance and security!
Unrealistic perfection aside, if relying on multiple sources helps some weaker Souls achieve the inner Tranquility, Certainty and Security they desperately seek why does G-d have to set the bar so high?!
