A man asked an elder:
– Why should I obey the commandments when I don’t gain
any visible reward?
– When you’re ill, you send for a doctor, and the
doctors gives you a medicine. Do you always fully understand why he gives you
this or that drug? You have to rely on the knowledge of the doctor who treats
your body, and accept the pill. Why don’t you trust God who
treats your soul?
