The Chief responded that there were many reasons why the troops were defeated. The Prime Minister asked the Chief to elaborate. The Chief responded that the troops had run out of ammunition and gunpowder during this battle, and could not refresh the supply. The Prime Minister was taken aback. Rav Mani explained that every person has his or her own priorities in life.
Every person has priorities in both the realms of spiritual and physical.
Not always do these priorities match what our priorities should truly be, the priorities that G-d wants us to keep at the top of the list. When we come to take inventory of our priorities we have to recall those principles that must remain unwavering and solid, as they are the foundation of our faith, and without them, our service to G-d is flawed. Obviously, just as the answer of the Chief was all encompassing and satisfied the query, so too is this one principle. Yet, just as other factors attributed to the loss of the battle, so too are there other priorities and principles that would top a list, were we to make it. On the Seder night, we thank G-d for redeeming us from slavery, and allowing us to enter His service alone.
