and them what they asked. As it is written (Proverbs 29:13) "the poor man and the man of means meet. The L–rd brightens the eyes of both," and (Ibid. 22:2) "The rich man and the poor man have met. The L–rd makes them all." How so? A disciple who pays attendance upon his master, and his master desires to teach him — "The L–rd brightens the eyes of both." Both acquire life in the world to come. But if a disciple pays attendance upon his master, and his master does not desire to teach him — "The L–rd makes them all" — The one whom He made wise, He makes stupid in the end; and the one He made stupid, He makes wise in the end.
