Oh, Is That All ?!?!?

"What is Hashem, your G-d, asking of you ? But to fear Him and to follow in His ways ..." [Devarim 10:12]

The gemara in maseches Megilla [25a] asks the obvious question - 'Is fear of G-d such a simple matter ?' and it answers ... 'yes, for Moshe rabbeinu it was'!
To illustrate this principle the gemara gives an analogy - imagine someone needing a great big utensil, a pot to hold 100 liters, say - if he has the item in question ( catering warehouse ) then even a big item will seem small ( i.e. he will not feel that cooking a 100 liter pot of soup is a big deal, after all, he has the equipment ). The opposite also holds true, says the gemara. If one needs a small utensil ( like a 5 liter pot ) but doesn't have it - it seems insurmountably large ( picture trying to cook 5 liters of soup in thimbles).
Moshe Rabbeinu had mastered the avodah of yiraas shamayim - therefore he referred to it as a simple matter.

We must still ask, though - why would Moshe Rabbeinu refer to it as a simple matter for us ? We hadn't mastered it yet !

The lesson here is a powerful one - whenever any trial or obstacle comes our way - we must realize that Hashem has already given us the resources to overcome it - and therefore we should be as calm as the one who may have a large task ahead of him - but is confident that he has the tools with which to accomplish it.

Hatzlacha !
