cherrybim: read that statement in my post in context please, as gavra did
gavra: let me just put it this way: it is not proper to rely on natural and human salvation. one must KNOW that EVERYTHING is in the hands and COMPLETE control of Hashem. one must rely on Hashem and no one else. read Chovos Ha Levavos. while maintaining this as a proper and desirable Emunah, one must conduct his life and Parnasah with hishtadlus appropriate to his Emunah, keeping in mind that this is merely a disguise, so to speak.
the above is very basic Jewish principles. it brings up many questions and requires consultation with appropriate Rabbaim to carry out properly, but it is a foundation of Yiddishkeit. I dont intend to debate it
