When You Fall to the Ground, You Find the Diamond -- Daily Chizzuk by Rabbi Eliezer Berland Shlit"a
THE DAILY CHIZZUK BY MOREINU HARAV ELIEZER BERLAND SHLIT"A "ONLY WHEN YOU FALL TO THE GROUND DO YOU FIND THE DIAMOND" -- FROM RABBI NACHMAN OF BRESLOV'S STORY OF "THE CRIPPLE" THURSDAY, 9 SIVAN 5785 These are his holy words: The murderers robbed him of the chest with the money, and he was a crippleâthe poor manâso he fell from the wagon. His lad fled, the wagon driver fled, so he had to crawl on the ground, and he crawled and crawled. Each time he tasted grassâso he ate grass and more grass. Suddenly, he plucked some grass and saw a diamond. Only when a person is already on the ground, crawling in the dirt... They took his chest with the money. They stole everything from him; they didn't leave him with a single penny. From every direction he is only exploited and robbedâonly then does he find the diamond. Only then, when one has fallen, will he find the diamond. They watered it when heaven and earth unite. https://vimeo.com/1090660973
