DEUT407 And now, hear wondrous wisdom. Just as God is supreme and governs every man in the entire universe above and below, so does man govern, as long as he does the will of his Creator. For to Moshe, may peace be upon him, the Holy One Blessed be He said during the incident of the golden calf [this verse] "Let Me alone, that I may destroy them," imputing the power to him (Berachos 32a), and in the episode of Korah the earth swallowed his company and all that was theirs, as Moshe requested (Bemidbar 16). And Eliyahu Hanavi, of blessed memory, swore that there would be no dew or rain except by his word (I Melachim 17), and brought down fire from Heaven (ibid.18), and slew the prophets of the Baal in the land (ibid.) and brought a dead child back to life (ibid.17), and decreed Elisha a double portion of his [Eliyahu Hanavi's] spirit (II Melachim 2). Similarly, all of the holy men who walked the earth ruled above and below through the will of the Holy One Blessed be He when they did his will. Therefore, take heed to fulfill His laws, statutes, and mitzvos, so that you will merit the abundant hidden good.
