Q & A With Rav Miller zt"l on Purim

Q:
How are we really supposed to see the neis of Purim if it was a neis nistar that was hidden in the natural events? 

A:

The answer is that sometimes a thing can be so startling that you just can't hide it. The American government is carrying out nuclear tests - nuclear explosions - and they're trying to hide it, but the scientists who have the proper instruments know what's going on, and they can tell you the details where it's going on and when. And your mind is your instrument. With a little bit of thought, you see the hand of Hashem. 

You can't hide certain things. And when Haman, who was the king's favorite, is now not only not a favorite, but he's wiped out - and not only that, but the one who took his place was the least likely person... יושב בשמים ישחק - "The One who dwells in heaven is laughing." HaKadosh Baruch Hu was playing the joke and everybody could see it. 

And therefore וראו אפסי ארץ את ישועת אלוקינו - "All the ends of the world saw that it was a salvation from Hashem." It was very clear to everyone. Only that if you don't put your mind to it, you don't see anything and you'll remain the same person you were last Purim, and the year before that, and the year before that. But the wise man will use his Purim to see how Hashem is doing everything for the Am Yisroel, and he'll fall in love with Hashem. Because the person who is the same person on the day after Purim as he was before Purim, has wasted a tremendous opportunity.
