@WIY: “So once you did what most ordinary people would do, to be successful in this thing then you have reached the minimum chiyuv of Hishtadlus. That doesn’t mean you cant do more. Hishtadlus is a minimum.”

The part I am not getting is – what do you mean a minimum? I want the maximum! Which is to achieve my objective.

I don’t want to “upset” G-d by trying to do his job, and I don’t want to do work “for nothing” either.

So if G-d is saying: “My son, I want to give you “A”, it would be really good for you, but you must put in x amount of Hishtadlus first” – – – Then I want to do “X amount of hishtadlus”.

If I did “X” and nothing came and rabbi says “it’s enough” but “do more if you want” – what is he saying?

How can good come out from more hishtadlus then I personally “needed” to do?

p.s. Thanks for compliment on the name 🙂
