"Everyone believes in private providence."
One can say: "Yes, this is true and it works, as the Creator rules over every creature". This means that whatever happens with each human being at any moment of his or her existence, no matter what state he finds himself in, whether the lowest corporeal, regular, or spiritual state, it all is a result of His Providence.
Baal HaSulam writes:
"A parable about a king who grew fond of his servant..." In other words, the Creator chooses a person or servant. Why a servant? Because this person is completely under the influence of the Creator, or under the influence of his own nature. A person's natural internal conditions as well as all of the outer conditions are obviously created by the Creator.
