We discussed the idea of temimus with thought, words, and actions, and now we will discover some of the benefits one earns from his temimus.
The Baal HaTurim (18:13) writes, גדולה 'ת ו''תי ועד ף''מאל קיימת כאילו בתמימות תלך שאם, "The letter 'ת [of תמים] is large because if you have temimus, it will be as if you kept the entire Torah from 'א until 'ת."
We discussed that an aspect of temimus is to accept everything that occurs to a person because he believes that it is from Hashem who loves him. The Apter Rav zt'l says that whoever accepts Hashem's hanhagah as it is, Hashem will accept him as he is.
Another benefit of temimus is that it brings a person very close to Hashem. Rashi on אלקיך 'ה עם תהיה תמים writes תהיה ואז ולחלקו עמו. If you have temimus and you believe that everything is for your good, then אלקיך 'ה עם תהיה, "you will be with Him and to His portion."
Similarly, Rabbeinu b'Chayei (18:12) explains the pasuk אלקיך 'ה עם תהיה תמים means תהיה תמים, if you have temimus, אלקיך 'ה עם תהיה, you will be with Hashem. We quote, "The concept of temimus has been written before. [Hashem told Avraham] (Bereishis 17:1) והיה תמים, to live with temimus. Now the pasuk is adding that אלקיך 'ה עם תהיה תמים, if you have temimus, you will be with Hashem. It is like what is written about Moshe (Shemos 34:28) 'ה עם שם ויהי, 'He was there with Hashem.' [This pasuk discusses when Moshe Rabbeinu was on Har Sinai to receive the luchos shniyos. The Torah tells us that he was with Hashem, and this is the portion of those who have temimus. As it states אלקיך 'ה עם תהיה תמים, if you have temimus, אלקיך 'ה עם, you will be with Hashem.]
There is also a source from the Rokeiach that with temimus one is before Hashem. It states regarding the faces of the chayos hakodesh (malachim in heaven) and of the Kisei HaKavod (Hashem's holy throne) (Yechezkel 1:10) אדם פני פניהם ודמות, "The likeness of their faces was the face of a man..." One of the four faces was the face of man, and Chazal tell us that it was the face of Yaakov Avinu. Why did Yaakov merit that his face be on Hashem's throne? The Rokeiach says that it was because of his temimus, as it states יעקב תם איש. The hint is that it states יפנ םפניה תדמו םאד, and the final letters spell ם"תמי.
The explanation is as we wrote above from the Rabbeinu b'Chayei and Rashi. In the merit of temimus, one merits to be with Hashem.
So, if one will be a tamim in his thoughts, with the belief that Hashem is leading him in the best way; and if he will be a tamim with his words, and he says Tehillim and tefillos to Hashem; and he is a tamim with his actions, by following Hashem's mitzvos without compromise, this is a person who is with Hashem.
