TRUE STORY
Twenty-five years ago, a Rav from Bnei Brak was having terrible problems. He had a tiny Kehila in a dingy basement, and people nearby decided to build their own shul across the street. They had much more funds than him. Many of his own congregants were planning to leave him and join the new shul.
This Rav poured his heart out to a big Baal Mussar from South Africa. The Baal Mussar told him: “You enjoy “kvetching” and “having pity” on yourself with all these morbid details. Instead, focus your energy on having Bitachon and changing your way of thinking. He told the Rav that the whole problem was in his mind. He kept pumping up the Rav, and telling him how great he was.
Again and again, he reminded the Rav about his greatness in learning and his sweet personality. He forbade the Rav from going around “probing” and “spying” on his enemies. He barraged him with positive truths [and even lies] about himself and his Matzav. He flooded him with being Dan L'kaf Zechus, on himself and others.
In just a few months, the Rav’s Matzav made a major turn-around. Suddenly, new supporters appeared from nowhere, and money started rolling in for a new beautiful shul. “It’s all in your mind!” he kept saying.
Today, the Rav has a beautiful spacious Bais Medrash, packed with a happy congregation. Best of all, he learned how to overcome his negative nature, and he learned how to stop being afraid of people since: חֶרְּדַת ָאדָּם יִּתֵן מוֵֹקש (Proverbs 29:25) [THE FEAR ITSELF CREATES THE PROBLEM] and to have real Bitachon in Hashem who is HaKol Yachol able to do ANYTHING!!!
This kind of “treatment” can be utilized in all kinds of areas, like court cases, difficult job situations, Shalom Bayis, relationships, Parnasa, Zikkui HaRabbim, and even serious health issues. HaKol Yachol is a reality!
