QUESTION:
I know a person who is in his 40’s who was one of the first people to get coronavirus a little after Purim, and Baruch Hashem he is still amongst the living, but he’s still hospitalized. It’s now more than 3 months later and he just tested positive for corona! He had severe breathing problems due to the virus and he had to be hooked onto a respirator for all of this time. He was in critical condition throughout the last 3 months, with a lot of high fever and even a recent heart attack, which he recovered from right away Baruch Hashem. He opened his eyes and said a few words every here and there, but his situation is critical. There are still a lot of unknowns about his situation, mainly about what his heart will be like. People have undertaken all kinds of kaballos on his behalf, like learning non-stop, finishing the whole Tehillim, making an extra learning seder, and continuously saying Tehillim. It should be noted that the choleh is a very prominent, G-d fearing rabbi who is very beloved by his students. What can be done as a zechus for him?
ANSWER:
Repeat and internalize your heart the wonderful segulah written in the sefer Nefesh HaChaim: Shaar III. [To quote: “In truth, there is a great matter and a wondrous segulah (spiritual remedy) to remove and nullify from oneself any harsh judgments or other accusations against oneself, so that nothing else can have any control over him and have no effect on him at all. This is when a person fixed in his heart that “Hashem is the true G-d, and there is nothing else besides for Him, there is no power besides for Him in the world and any of the worlds at all, and everything is filled with His oneness.” One can nullify in his heart, with total nullification, that he is not concerned at all about any power or accusation [against him] in the world, and one should dedicate and attach his the purity of his thoughts to be subservient only to the Master of everything. Then Hashem will provide for him that all forces should become removed from having any control over him and that nothing in the world can do anything to him.”]
