People asked R’ Shimon Maryles of Yareslov zt’l, who was niftar at age 91:
“How did you merit to live so long?”
He replied, “It’s because I never asked questions. When a person asks questions about how Hashem leads the
world, Heaven replies, ‘Come up! From here you will see that everything is for the good.’
I never ask questions, so I wasn’t called to Shomayim to receive answers.”
~ Ohel Shimon
