The Tur O’CH 114, gives a mnemonic for Techiyas Hamesim מפתח – מטר, פרנסה, תחי-ה, חי-ה. Rain, support, resurrection and birth. Rain – When the seeds are planted in the ground, they first become destroyed and then resurrected through rain. Maybe that is also why it is called גבורת גשמים, besides creating a flood. Support – עני חשוב כמת, the one being supported by Hashem is being resurrected. It says השלך על ה’ יהבך והוא יכלכלך throw your worries on Hashem who will support you.
The Dubner Magid has a mashel. A man was carrying a package by foot.
A guy with a horse and wagon comes and picks him up. After a while he looks back and sees that man is resting his package on his lap. He tells him, why don’t you place your package in the wagon? So the man says, I don’t want to burden your horses with my package. The guy tells him, I don’t understand you, If you rest your package on your lap, don’t the horses carry it? We worry about our support but ultimately Hashem provides our livelihood. Birth is obvious, bringing a new being into the world.
