Apple Brains
So you have to ask a question: Let’s open up the tree and look for its brains. How did it create such a thing? Where is all this wisdom at? Where is it stored? Where is the wisdom that the tree possesses to create delicious fruit and seeds that are smarter than the biggest computers? In which region? Is it in the bark? Is it in the pit? Where is the wisdom of the tree?
The answer is, the tree is nothing at all. There is a Divine Wisdom that has planned everything and knows everything. That’s what an apple seed says. An apple seed says, “Look at my Creator! ו‡¿רה∆ּל≈‡ ‡ָרָּב יƒמ – Look at Who created me!” That’s why I recommend studying the apple seed. I do it. I keep apple seeds in my pocket, and when I’m walking down the street I take them out sometimes to look at them. I marvel at them. People write to me that I should send them some of my seeds. I go to the post office and I mail my seeds to people. Apple seeds are nissei nissim!
Now, I only gave a few examples, just to understand the subject. But it’s important to listen to these examples and make up your mind that you’re going to dedicate your career to learning to be a ma’amin. Because there’s no end to how much you could accomplish in your life, how great you can become in the subject of emunah when you act in the way of lifnim meshuras hadin, by using the things that Hakadosh Baruch Hu provided in nature especially for that purpose.
