There were once people in Europe who owned land and stuff like that; they were called the paritzim. A lot of them were difficult people. They said they owned a lot of property, and you had to rent from the paritzim. Anyhow, there was once a paritz, and this man was very well off and very nice. So there was a landowner who had a house on one of the lands of the paritz. He rented the house and wasn't able to pay.
The paritz was okay: “Don't worry, you don't have to pay, you don't have to pay.” He wasn't able to pay: “You don't have to pay.” A few months went by; he couldn't pay. “No problem, it's okay, it's okay.” For a little while, the paritz went on a trip. When he went on a trip, he put someone else in charge of his affairs. The other person in charge looked at the books and said, “Hey, one second, this guy on this land hasn't paid in months. He has to pay.” He went over to the person and beat him up. He punched him 20 times. That's the story.
Eventually, they went to court. The court said, “Look at this person. He hit him 20 times.” The court decided that, because this replacement for the paritz had hit someone 20 times, the man he hit would now get half his house for free. Because he was hit 20 times, he's going to get half his house for free.
The man who was hit, the man who got half his house for free, comes home to his wife, hysterically crying. His wife says, “Why are you crying?” He says, “Because I wish he had hit me 40 times. Then I would have the whole house.”
People in Olam Haba (world to come) are going to say the exact same thing. In this world, you're going to say, “Why are you hitting me? Hashem, why did you take away my money? Why did you make that difficult?” But in the world to come, some people are going to say, “One second, you're telling me if I took one more punch, had one more difficulty, I would have so much more Olam Haba?” Literally, over here, you say, “Why am I hit 20 times?” Over there, you're going to say, “Why didn't it happen 40 times?”
There's going to be a day when everything is clear. But until that day, we have to be comfortable enough with a simple knowledge that is not frustrating, that is not confusing, that makes us not blind, enables us to see. And that simple knowledge is: Hashem, all we need to do to make you king is to live with the fact that you are here.
