The Gift of Grace
Baal HaSulam
.A rich man once
gathered a person from the market
He gave him
food and drink
And showered
him with silver and gold
And other
valuables each day.
And every day
his gifts surpassed
The gifts of
the previous day,
Continuing on
and on.
Finally, the
rich man asked,
"Tell me,
have all your wishes been fulfilled?"
And the man
replied, "Not all my wishes have been fulfilled,
For how good
and how delighted I would be
If all of these
valuables
Came to me
through my own efforts
As they came to
you,
And I would not
be receiving gifts at your grace."
Then the rich
man replied,
"In that
case, never has a man been created
Who can fulfill
your wishes."
