Hester Panim

I heard from a Rabbi this week a vort from the "Kotzker". The Rabbi said that the Kotzker says that the reason the Torah says "Haster Astir" is that even the Hester Panim will be hidden. The rabbi went on to say that God is so hidden that we cannot even see the hester Panim.

I am not sure if that is what the "Kotzker" meant. He is well know for his very sharp and biting insights and almost everything I ever heard in his name has been extremely biting. This vort seems very pedestrian to be a "Kotzker" vort. Therefore I would like to propose a different pshat to the words of the "Kotzker".

I think that the Kotzker meant to say that the "Hester" will be "Nistar" in other words we will think we see it. We will not recognize the "Hester". Truly we see that today amongst most religious Jews. They all see God in everything they do. They use words such as bashert or hashgacha or min shamayim etc. They think that they have God figured out and they know what he is trying to accomplish (usually their petty desires). This is the Hester of the Hester because God is hiding in plain sight he is in fact not supplying you with your petty desires and...no that was not the reason why xyz happened today to fulfill your perverted idea of what should  have happened........The ultimate hester!
