From The Maagid – TZADDIKIM If one hires a worker does he truly pay him but for the amount of effort… (but not necessarily the profit.) Another example, is a country appointed someone as their king, so though the king gives everyone compensation and even gives large gifts to the ministers, yet relative to what they gave him, namely the crown, it is all nothing. However G-d is different, as G-d said to Abraham (and all Tzaddikim) as you have spread my name (as you have crowned me as king) hence I am crowning you (in other words, as our sages teach, G-d decrees, and a Tzaddik annuals; for G-d gives the ability to cause natural effects into the hands of the Tzaddikim paying them back equally.)
