What is the most important thing to realize? Even when someone actually hurts you, any difficulty that you have between you and your neighbor, between you and your friend, between you and your relative—every single time you have a difficult interaction, you need to remember this lesson we're about to share. I'm pretty confident you know it already, but I want to show it to you from the Pesukim (verses). The Pasuk (verse) says in Tehillim, “From the pain we call out to you, Hashem, you answer me.” It says Tehillim is a part of Hallel: “Hashem, I am not afraid of what will happen, what a person will do to me, because Hashem is helping me and I will see my enemy.” That means, “When I am in pain, Hashem, you answer me because I am not afraid of what man will do to me, because you are helping me and I will see my enemy.”
What does this mean? And the commentary explains it this way: What it means is that nobody can touch me. Hashem, you are with me. I am not afraid. I am not afraid of what any human can do to me because no human being can hurt me, not physically, not emotionally. Nobody. Hashem, Hashem, you help me. How do you help me? How do you help me? You help me by my seeing my enemies. You help me by giving me difficulty. You help me by giving me naysayers. You help me by giving me people who make my life difficult. You help me by making things go wrong in my life. You help me by sometimes putting me in a competitive situation. You help me by my seeing someone else's house that's better than mine. You help me by my seeing someone else's success that's greater than mine.
When I have something in my life, something around me that hurts me, it's Hashem who's helping me. Hashem, you're with me, so I am not afraid of what a person will do to me. Because Hashem, you are Hashem, you are with me, and you are helping me. How are you helping me? You're helping me by my seeing someone else, by my seeing enemies. You're helping me with difficulty. So every single time anybody does anything wrong to you, whether it's physical or emotional, whether it's words or not even words, just the way they walk by you, or the way they carry themselves, or if they're literally attacking you, this is Hashem. No one can hurt you.
