"I have a friend who has grown stronger in recent years, but he has a severe problem with happiness. He only sees the bad. He knows the truth that everything is for the best, yet he continues to stress and get depressed over small things. How can I help him?"
"This indicates that the matter isn't deeply internalized," Rabbi Zamir Cohen responds, explaining his words: "In the past, we've talked about how a person needs to work on a 4-story structure. The fourth story is joy, but without the basic 3 stories, it's impossible to achieve joy.
The first story: "And you shall know today, and lay it to your heart, that Hashem is God".
The second story: "And they believed in Hashem and in His servant Moses".
The third story: Faith.
And the fourth story is joy.
Let us explain briefly:
The first story – "And you shall know today, and lay it to your heart, that Hashem is God".
First thing, to intellectually know there is a Creator to the world. When you say "Blessed are you, Hashem" – it means He is here, you are speaking to Him, He is present. His glory fills the whole earth.
How do I know? Look at the wonders of creation, read books on nature, and ask yourself if it's reasonable that such a thing happened by itself over millions of years. Take a room full of junk, come back in a hundred million years, and see if the junk has turned into an airplane, or if you'll find more chaos.
There's no such thing as things arranging and organizing themselves over millions of years.
I was in a debate with Dr. Avigdor Blis at Haifa University, a debate before the students where you teach them a whole science of evolution, that one creature developed from another, and so the whole thing continued.
I said to him: "You teach the students that this all happened after the Big Bang, from some inanimate being that got life, became a low creature that got life, and developed further.
Explain to me scientifically. If there is no God – how did inanimate become animate? How did a grain of dirt start developing eyes and ears and start moving? How were lives created?
If there is Hashem – He doesn't need evolution, He doesn't need the stages of millions of years. He created man from the soil, as written in the Torah.
And if there is no God – how did inanimate become animate? Scientifically, what happened to it? How is the scientific explanation that inanimate gets a soul?
Dr. Blis replied: "I'll tell you the truth, this is one of our points, we scientists have no answers for them".
"A person who observes the order, the beauty of creation – sees how everything is designed"
Rabbi Zamir quotes his response: "You have no answer for the foundation. This means the whole tower – is not science. You're teaching things without a foundation. You have no answer for how life was created – so how do you build this tower?!"
"Call it what you want," says Rabbi Zamir, "but if you have no answer for how life began – how do you build this tower?!"
"A person who observes the order, the beauty of creation – sees how everything is designed," says Rabbi Zamir, and describes a fascinating study published in the USA. "The research found that 21% of the mother’s milk that the baby nurses – it's not digested by him. It seems the mother produces 21% for nothing. The scientists didn’t understand how that could be.
In a side note, Rabbi Zamir explains that "today, science has progressed. They know that everything has a reason, even what was previously not understood – which itself proves there is Hashem".
Rabbi Zamir gives an example of the appendix, and explains: "In the past, they didn’t know its purpose, today they know it serves as a home for good bacteria, when there’s gastrointestinal infection. After the infection, when the body heals – the bacteria come out and multiply".
Rabbi continues describing research findings:" They found that 21% of the mother’s milk is not digested by the baby at all.
"After long and complicated studies, it turned out that indeed the baby doesn’t digest this milk, but in the baby's stomach there is a rare bacterium, hard to find elsewhere, and it is in the baby's digestive system, and this bacterium – it thrives on the 21% that the baby doesn't digest. What's special about this bacterium – it eliminates all the other bacteria, which could infect the child with diseases.
"In other words, the mother provides sustenance to another creature whose job it is to protect her child. Can that be grasped at all?" Rabbi Zamir calls out in wonder. "You open your eyes - you see there is a Creator".
Rabbi Zamir Cohen returns to the question he was asked and summarizes the matter:
First story – intellectual knowledge that there is a Creator to the world, someone who planned everything, it did not happen by itself.
Second story – faith, which includes two things: knowing there is Hashem, and besides that - trusting that He loves me, cares for me.
Third story – that’s how one arrives at faith. What is faith? Rabbi Zamir quotes the words of the "Chovot HaLevavot": "Peace of mind of the one who trusts, that his heart rests on the one he trusts to do everything good and right for him. In other words – I don’t trust Hashem to do what I want, rather I trust Hashem will do what is truly good for me, because He knows better than me what is good for me.
"A person who lives this way – attains constant joy. Saying everything is for the best – it's easy. Feeling everything is for the best – it's difficult," summarizing Rabbi his words, "but in times of trouble, when a person sees difficulty – it's hard for him to feel everything is for the best. But if a person has within him the 3 stories, which are: 'And you shall know today and lay it to your heart', 'And they believed in Hashem and in His servant Moses' and 'Faith' - this way one can achieve constant joy".
