In the manner of 'the Ark carries its carriers'

In the manner of 'the Ark carries its carriers'

By analogy: The commandments and spiritual pursuits that seem burdensome are those that grant strength and ability to those who engage in them.

(“See, the Ark is on one side and Israel is on the other side; what is needed for the Ark to carry its carriers and to cross, and if there was such a miracle, the text would not have explicitly stated that the Ark carried its carriers above the water” — Radak on Joshua 4:11. Likewise: “And through the merit of observing the Sabbath we will merit that there will be light for the children of Israel in all their dwellings, for more than Israel observed the Sabbath, the Sabbath observed Israel, in the manner of the Ark carrying its carriers” — Responsa Tzitz Eliezer, Part 12, Siman 92.)
