So a lot of times we um know it feels
very good you know you know to say
everything or whatever but honestly you
understand everything that you're saying
the way that you want to understand it.
So I I thought of a a sort of a hack a
little bit that you know says that when
we talk to Hashem a person should talk
to Hashem in their own words. Speak to
Hashem from your own heart and your own
saf you know from an honest place more
when he's speaking in English. So a lot
of people a lot of times especially
people come from backgrounds you know
they're very used to saying to Helum
especially when something happens some
type of crisis or whatever things like
that but if you're a native English
speaker you know how much you can add to
your arsenal of his bodus if you start
reading to him if you do it in Hebrew
and then do it in English right so you
start re reworking your vocabulary in a
way that how you talk to Hashem just
from looking at English Right. So
whatever you you know the guy you know
feels bad he want to show that he's also
got the English version also too or
whatever the case is. I said forget
about it. I said I'm I'm giving me
English one also. And what happened was
my wife was somewhere and she always
keeps it to she reads to him. She read
she reads in English. She understands
it. Women don't have all this gaba and
all that stuff. They just don't have it
anyway. So so she was in the walked into
some store whatever. So I grabbed to him
and I said, "Read it in English." And I
was just like, "Oh my
goodness." I said, I said, "The Lim is
so powerful in English." Like I didn't
even think about it. So I made sure I
made sure that I always always keep a
keep an English one, too. And the Hebrew
should have big words. So it'd be easy
for us to read, but that's my my secret
weapon. I take your secret weapon. It
really enhances the voters like big
time. Weapon of prayer. Big time. So
that's how you start off your bod. Not
all the time. I don't have like an
actual seda with it, but I'm saying just
having it with me, you know what I mean?
To to be able to go through tikali is
hard for me to get through in
English. So,
can I do it? Okay. So, we left off last
time we were in I think I thought we
were at 32. I think I may have missed
missed off by page. One of the last
things that we talked about was the um
having amun and hashim and not in the
means you know not using some
intermediary to to believe in that. I
think that hashm has to bring about
something through that way
specifically. Now I don't
think that we did this next part which
was on 30. This is know it in your
heart.
These are very very important
principles. We're almost up to uh to
SIMAR. I was hoping that we're going to
get to Simra, but I don't know. I don't
know how disciplined I am to to move on
so fast or whatever. But at least it's
we're doing Remy Nakman's essentials. It
was written by Ra Aram Greenb was
written by Nakma, but he took a lot of
different places and he put together
loot very similar to Lutus or or um one
of the other books that do the same
thing like uh it's less specific than
like or something where it's
specifically talking
about and putting it together. So he's
taking general things and he's moving
them around but he like I don't know he
had a sort of a science of like which
ones he decided to put together. I was
very very taken back by the safer when I
first got it. It was like one of my
first breasts of sorform that was like
mine you know.
And that uh mom has changed my life.
Okay. So he takes some divine here and
he says that know this day and consider
it in your heart that Hashem is God in
heaven above and on earth below and that
there is no other a little there's
nothing but a shim. So he says the only
way to know Hashem is through complete
faith and only faith can bring you to
true knowledge and perception of God's
greatness. And he brings him hashem and
he says I will betroth you to me with
amuna and you should know hashem. Right?
So the first part of knowing Hashem,
this part is that by us having amuna,
believing in that which we what we
cannot know, right? So I heard recently
that uh I think with Vermy was saying in
one of his shirun uh which which reb he
quoted they said you know you know how
how how much he didn't want to have a
hashem that people understood you know
if you can have a god that people
understood then you know hashem is no
different than a human right if I can
understand hashem then he's no different
than than me right so the the way to
come to having this idea and this this
knowledge This relationship with Hashem
comes about through me having the amuna
and that which I don't know first I'm
stepping out into the unknown. So he
said many passages tell us to know
Hashem. It says to know this day and
consider it in your heart. It says the
divine it says know the god of your
father. Uh and this is uh brought from
chronicles which is div he says know
that hashem is god. So he's bringing
over and over another puss from from
Tahill. So these verses he says teach us
to know and be mindful of God's presence
at all time and not to forget him for a
moment. So there's many different ways a
person can cling on to Hashem obviously
to be a real masid person walks around
with some type of safe or some type of
something. You know they used to have
always used to have these little uh they
call the pearls you know that he had in
the muna or whatever. This is like my
thing you know always in the pocket
whenever. Now I'm carrying around a a
what do I have here? Huh? Men and Marv,
you know, I went down a few Madridas. I
need to start putting pearls back into
my pockets. You know, whatever. It's not
so much whatever. But after a while, you
end up in a place you realize you need
to in most of the circles I'm hanging
around, I'm definitely not pulling this
thing out to to uh to dab out of.
So it says um that there's many
kings that constantly remind the
subjects that they have a ruler, right?
And we want to make sure that they know
that there that you you have a melik. So
surges soldiers in particular are
trained to know who their king and who
their master
is in order that his fear should be on
their faces as it brings a
schmos so that they should serve their
master unconditionally. So subordinates
are constantly told know that you have a
lord and that you have a master. So this
is this is common in the world of
monarchy that there is a ruler there's a
ruler and then there's
subjects. The idea that the Torah is
trying to get us to understand is that
this is our way of ya like we should
know that Hashem is with us at all times
and we should know that we have a master
and hashem is mish ruling. He hashem is
is the person in control. So there's
many different ways. So one of them we
obviously know is is is is
is talking to Hashem. I was going to say
he's build of this but I want to kind of
separate these things a little bit
because he baudoot literally means to be
in seclusion. Boo teaches something else
called a private scream. That person
could cry out to Hashem even in the
midst of a crowd and be around people
but he's crying to Hashem. I've been z
to be around sadik and many different
sadikin. Uh one of the things that I saw
specifically around Rav Arouch lips
always moving. I think it was a midrash
also brought about yphadic even when he
was inside the prison lips was always
moving always talking to Hashem at every
single point. They say this also I heard
this
about the same time also to always
constantly bring Hashem before him at
all times. He's remembering he has a
master. Why? Because he's bringing
Hashem's presence into every place that
he's going. He's not stopping. He's
talking to Hashem at every single
instance of his life. It It's going on.
So, we we we had an incident just now.
Here we were on our way here and Vano
said something. I'm sorry. You don't
mind me saying your neighbors in public,
do you? I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm
joking. So, we we drove past and there
was no parking spots over here, you
know. So, he said, "I dive in." He said,
"Maybe I just didn't dive in enough, you
know." So, man, because as soon as we
got out, there were two parking spots
like right there. Yeah. As soon as they
answer only if he would have hit that
extra turn, you know. I don't know if I
told him to park over I think I told him
to park over there. Oh, no. It's all
good. So, Hashem wanted us to walk a few
extra extra steps or whatever over
there. But the idea is that, you know,
constantly talking to Hashem and not
giving up even for a second. Not even
giving up for a moment. I'm telling you,
I had one time I was so I was so down
and out. I didn't have a single dime and
it was coming close to Shabas. I didn't
have money. I did tell you this thing
and and I said to myself already at this
time I was very big on
the Hashem I'm throwing myself on you.
It's not a little bit it's it's a lot of
it. The the the says literally to wait
on Hashem. You throw everything on. You
wait for Hashem. Wait for Hashem's
salvation. Says it over and over and
over again all throughout. It says it
all throughout the wait on Hashem.
Right? So I said I'm going to wait on
Hashem. The only problem is is that when
you're married, you're not the only
person waiting. You
understand? And the and the and the and
the and the to be able to convince
somebody else that they also should be
waiting on Hashem is much harder to do.
You know, not everybody's uh reading
what you're reading or as inspired as
you're inspired at the time. Uh and so
we were sort of at this time back and
forth like you know it's like you shabas
is almost starting. You know, what do
you think Hashem wants from us? And
Hashem wants us to wait. He says, "Why
do you think Hashem wants you to call
somebody else, you know, to ask a
feeling like I'm not going to borrow
wants me to have wants me to have what
it's going to be?" So, in the end of of
of me, you know, trying to make this tug
of war, I finally I gave in and I said,
"Okay, I'll just I'll give it another
call." And
then only because she's making me, you
know, like woman's nervous. It's like,
you know, I don't trust you. I've
trusted you before. I know, you know.
So, so make the call and somebody says,
"Oh, yeah, no problem." I said, "And I
felt so defeated. So, so defeated,
whatever." Afterwards, time the money
goes in there, goes inside the counter.
I go and I look after a while, I
purchase something. And I said, "That's
more money than what the person sent.
Why isn't the money sent?" Turns out
that there was another transfer that
already went into my to my bank account
that was already there. And I said I
said look if we would have just waited
on the sh we had enough money already
but two you understand so so so when a
person is working out their ama and
they're working on the
level and a person's living with Hashem
and you actually throw it on Hashem it
works it just actually works and a
person will see Hashem's not only going
to make it to where a
person has to do the evod of bringing
hashem there it's a ya I know I know
that hashm is here so he's saying that
Hashem, he wants you to know that he is
Hashem and he wants you to know that he
is
God and not to ever forget it. He says
he says we need to be reminded time and
time again because we will easily
forget. We live in a world where there
are so many different distractions.
However, the distractions and
temptations he says of this vain world
cause many to forget to forget it much
of the time. And this is why the Torah
reminds us know that Hashem is God. know
that God know the God of your father and
that is to say bring this knowledge deep
within yourself until it is bound
tightly in your mind and in your heart
at all times. That means that person
doesn't forget no matter where he's if
he's in a in a in an area of mam he's in
a mamisha he's down it doesn't matter
how far the person is he doesn't leave
or depart from the idea that he knows
that Hashem is God Hashem is with him
meaning that because he because Hashem
is who he is that he is capable of
rescuing me and taking me out of
wherever whatever place that I've got
I've gotten to but a person won't forget
if it's deep embedded into his heart I
have a question. What's the What's the
like like uh how do you know like what's
not supposed to be taken out right now?
Like what's praying and trusting
trusting? Like just like it just seems
like maybe it's just meant for you to do
the situation. That's it. Someone
jailing for years
they trust maybe in
jail. Is that a concept also? It it
could be a concept. Right. So there's
two different
Iana when it comes to the idea
of and really some people say they're
madas right I think we discussed it
maybe a little bit before there's one
idea where a person has in the shim so
therefore I trust whatever it is that
Hashem gives me I'm I'm going to be mab
I'm going to accept it with with love
and with patience and and with whatever
serenity that I need to have at that
time and to know that Hashem is with me
is going to take care of me right so
that's one level so then there's another
uh level mga where no specifically
according to my is how much Hashem is
going to give me. So if I really
honestly believe in Hashem that Hashem
wants to do me good and whatever I want
good also I'm going to dive into Hashem
for what I want and if I have the
because I trusted in Hashem Hashem is to
help me out. He's to take care of what
it is that I relied on him for. This
comes out a lot
in also brings it there. We know people
like have trust in their like they got
taken out and they got put back in or
they they just or they're trusting
they're trusting they're praying that
just eventually they just did not get
help. So here's the thing once a person
says the words I davened about it they
gave up. That's once you say I've dabbed
like in past tense that means you gave
up. All right. And there were only two
people in history that Hashem said
they're not allowed to d that was Mosher
Rabenu and Yahu and Nav, right? Who
brings. So apart from that, you're never
allowed to think that you're out of the
game. There's never a time that a person
is allowed to think that, oh, I'm out of
the game. Oh, maybe Hashem just wants
me. All of that is this is exactly
against teaches. All right. A person dos
until you receive the Yeshua. Period.
And a lot of people, it's very hard for
people to say that because people don't
understand what it means to have
endurance and prayer and to feel it. You
understand what I mean? It's like it's
it just it's a real thing. A lot of
people have never been to the level of
of
of really breaking themsel and praying
the mysterious nephesh. You understand
what I mean? You can imagine how many
people billions of people there are in
the world right now. And think about how
many people have actually completed more
than you know even a day even but more
than two days of an hour of his boldness
there are very few people right and
they're probably to meet them whoever
they are you understand what I mean to
think about it how much we're talking
about endurance of toil to really truly
dab in on something until Hashem answers
you for that particular thing right so I
I give you another story I I started
going public with the story a few years
ago as I was used to give them my story.
So when I started the
um right before Shame came out, so I I
went through a lot of different tufas
where I was homeless and and different
things like that with my family right
after my my gabas. I talked about this a
little bit more, but uh right around the
time before came out at that
point, you have to understand I didn't I
didn't have a clue like what the
magnitude of what that stone was going
to do. All I can tell you is at the time
I think before we went to go shoot the
video I was 2 months behind on my rent.
I was working for Cole. I had no idea
where my next dime was going to come
from. And during this time I was I was I
felt very very moved to to pursue pursue
music. This is we were actually having
this conversation in the car. So this is
what was happening around that time. And
so I I knew that I was supposed to use
my tapki. Nisha made it very, you know,
clear um to do it. But I I just at the
same time it was very hard for me to
give up like, you know, maybe I should
still, you know, work my job. I can't
just throw everything in. Hashem, are
you sure? Like this is what I should be
doing. I had that career, you know. So
you have this back and forth. So, at
some point, uh, when we were like two
months behind and, uh, the time came for
us to go and film the video for Hashim,
I remember I arrived to New York. I
didn't have a dime in my pocket. I
couldn't buy myself a bagel. Okay,
that's how broke I went. I literally
went with nothing. I may have had a
penny, you know, maybe. Right. So, I get
off the plane and uh, uh, my good friend
Dove Pau picked me up. Shout out to Shim
Camps. Uh so dove pa and that's when we
actually met. So we became really good
friends. We there we talked with schmooz
whatever and I hadn't even met God in
person yet. God
elbas god elbas in person yet. And so he
had some concert whatever we end up
meeting or whatever. And so we were
there and and I tell you the video was
you know it was a it was a hard hard day
to get through. You know God was this
superstar pop star whatever. I don't
think I even had a dressing room. So, we
were so we were uh filming the last part
of the uh of the song and uh and it was
it was the first thing that we that we
shot, but somehow like we I I think we
maybe one taped it, two take it. It was
like it was like very it came so
natural. It was so much like fire and I
felt it and it just clicked in me. I
said, "Hashem, I have to do every I have
to do this. This is what I need to be
doing." And I'm using, you know, before
I would I would talk about a shim like
tuck it and like, you know, keep it kind
of hidden. But like when the song say,
what else am I going to what am I going
to sing? What else am I going to talk
about on this song? Rolls-Royce. Can't
talk about
Rolls-Royce. So, I don't know what it
was. I I heard the song before. I felt
it very strongly about it, but after
performing it there for the video, I was
just like I felt so like a shame. Okay,
it clicked, you know. And so, we filmed
the rest of the video. It was a, you
know, it was a rough patch, you know,
trying to make it through, you know,
other people taking care of you. It was
very embarrassing. I remember I came
back and by the time I was back, I think
it was only a couple weeks, we were like
3 months behind. And so my wife is just
like, "What are we going to do?" And I
said, "You know what? I I just have to
be obedient to Hashem. I know that
Hashem wants me to use my gift and my
talent for this and all that." She says,
"You know, I think Hashem wants you to
get a job, you know, a new one."
we're hearing different things from
Hashem, you know, like you know, what
could we do? So, right around that time,
I I had just finished the
safer talking about. So, at this point,
I'm fired up. I'm I'm ready to use my
trust in my Hashem. In addition to that,
uh, speaking of those pearls, it was a
few of these different pearls and a few
different books from Ravarish at the
time that um, that you know, every time
I opened them, he he talked about this
story where he was in debt and he went
to go work for Hashem and everybody
thought he was crazy. What he meant by
working for Hashem, he went out to go
cry out to Hashem every day. That's what
he did until Hashem redeemed him. So, I
had that working on at the same time and
then trying to convince my wife that
this is like I'm receiving this from
Shmayim. Trust me guys, don't try this
at
home. So at some point me and my wife
were talking one day and I and I said to
her, I said, you know, maybe, you know,
we should just dive in about this
together. Let's talk. My wife's she's
very broken. My wife's much holier than
me. She's she's uh much bigger, you
know, she's much much more connected to
Shim even than I am. And so I thought
that that would be the thing we would
agree on. So she's like, I my decision's
already made. you need to get like two
more jobs that whatever. So I thought
she was done. So a couple days later she
came to me and she said, "What do dreams
mean?" So I said, "I don't know what
dreams mean and it could mean, you know,
the chol was a good
chol." Probably you should have had a
flesh trolling. My wife's vegetarian, so
I don't know. So I said, I said,
"Sometimes dreams do mean something, but
most of the times they don't mean
anything." I said, "So why would you
dream?" She says, "I'm not going to tell
you." I said, "Me not going to tell me?"
He said, "You didn't like going to tell
me the dream." I said, "If it doesn't
mean anything, tell me." She says,
"Well, if it doesn't mean anything, why
would I tell you? So why back and
forth?" So later that night, I finally I
convinced her to to tell me about the
dream. She says, "You know, the other
night we talked about it." She said, "I
did, dab. I talked to Hashem." And I and
I feel very strongly. Um and and she
went to sleep and she said she had a
dream. She said, "You on the stage and
so many people were making chuvo. So
many people were coming back to shim.
You were doing your thing." She said,
and it was so real. She She's like,
"Mom's felt." She said, she touch, she
said, but it was just a dream. Wow.
Don't do anything. Don't do anything.
So, she went back to sleep. I I was up
early the next day. I went and put in my
notice at the col immediately for like
immediate. Yeah. Wow. And I went out
after that every single day and I went
to go talk to Hashem for 6 hours
straight in the forest for 22 days
straight. So, it was 22 days straight. I
thought I was going to do even more. I
was going to answer. I was going to cry
out to Hashem until he answered. Six
hours a day. Six hours a day. Every day
six hours I cried out to Hashem. I was
in the upper limb even on Shabas. So I
had so my my chabas was I dabbed early
in the morning. And then so while
everybody else was still going, I went
and cut into the uh at the the mikvah
room. So during the during the day, you
know, guys could use it also too. There
was like a separate area for for the
men. So I went inside the room and I
would cry out to Hashem. Six hours
straight. Was it conversation or was it
conversation or was it also mainly was
it mainly
requesting talking to
Hashem? It was everything that Rabenu
was saying but elongated talking out to
Hashem. Ravage brings such an idea in
some of his forum about this. So I I I
needed a major Yeshua. I was in a my
back was against the wall. But what was
more to me at that time was dabbing to
Hashem to do what my tapid was. Hashem
was already revealing to me and showing
me what what I needed to do, right? And
showing me what the tool was. The tool
was me. It's not that the music is is is
what Hashem wanted me to do. It's the
tool by which Hashem allowed me to be
able to affect people and to be able to
be Makadesh's name. So, I'm asking
Hashem more than anything else. I barely
I'm telling you this. I barely talk to
Hashem about what my financial state was
at the time. I was much more so
interested in being a Tino or being a a
pipe for Hashem. And this is what I do
with Hashem about for the most most of
the time. So by day 17 I get a call from
God eldas. I have to say who who last
name there cuz you know talking to
Hashem a lot of time I say talk to God
after 17 days people are going to be
like whoa it's only takes 17 days. So so
so
you got to see him face to face. I say
face to face pan. So guys come and he
says we made a hit. We mamish made a
hit. So I didn't understand what he was
saying because I can see the song had
just come out right and uh on the
outside you can't really see you know
YouTube has this thing where like will
hold your hold back your views and
whatever the case is especially
something that's going viral because
they need to check to make sure that you
know everything is real whatever. And so
by day 18 was like completely exploded.
And then literally by day 18 I got calls
from all over the world from Germany,
Brazil and everything. And one day I was
out of debt in one day. One day
completely completely in one day. What
I'm telling you is is that one day I
mean it was 18 days but I'm saying but
it took one day of phone calls and
everything was good. It was for gigs and
things or Yeah, for gigs.
mitzvah first big hit. Yeah. Yeah. But
the the idea here is the idea of living
and throwing everything on Hashem. You
understand what I mean? Now my idea was
that I didn't have a a single sect and
I'm not saying this anybody can achieve
this not because it was me but I'm
saying the idea is that if a person goes
into something and you eliminate sect
there's no no amalch or coming up to pim
a person is not thinking about any
amalch right a person can achieve so
much with the shim there's no such thing
as oh I davened no it's I'm dvening you
know I'm saying so the moment that a
person has in their mind that oh I I
already prayed about it. That means you
gave up. Once it becomes a past tense,
that means you were mish and you gave
up. There is no such thing as giving up.
If a person wants to achieve something,
especially a devusha, something that's
holy. You mean I, you know, I prayed
about it. There's no such thing as I
prayed about it. So just to answer that,
you know, in short, I'm sorry you had to
get the full whole full story, but you
brought out a lot.
Yeah, that's incredible.
So, so there's no such thing as giving
it up. No. Okay. You also talked about
acceptance. Acceptance. Yeah. If a
person skips that step of acceptance.
So, it's really like no, I won't accept.
I won't accept, you know, I won't I
won't give up cuz I I will not accept.
Right. So, it doesn't fit in. Right. I
hear what you're saying. There is a
level of accepting the fact that a
person is in the mat. But that's just
really the idea of knowing the reality
and not you don't want it to come from
the wrong place. Understand? So you
don't want the the lack of accepting of
what the situation is to come from the
wrong place of like you know living to
some degree in a denial. Right? Cuz
that's what causes a person but the the
evidence of that usually is is when the
person gave up. You understand what I'm
saying is that you you weren't makaba
the fact that this was from Hashem,
right? Because that that part of it
never leaves. The fact that it's that
whatever matz or whatever tar the
person's
in the fact that that came from Hashem
that never leaves. It never leaves a
person's mind. It doesn't mean so
therefore because you have this and
you're going with this level of beten
that you you you skip that that area
because and that's for those who who
look at this as as a madrega not a
different like path, right? So you could
be that there's those who have a path
where they're saying that nope I'm not
mashim this is not what you want from me
right and they could be very sure about
it such a story like uh not something
that was something that was present at
the time of rabbi aka another and they
heard the screams and what was going on
maybe was no it's not my house I just
know it's not it's not my house it's not
coming from my house you know somebody
was being attacked I think at this time
or whatever such a thing maybe was so it
wasn't coming Man wouldn't do that to
me. Such a mad dragon, such an Indian or
a person.
No, I don't I don't know. I have to go
into other fortune for that. I I I
didn't see that anywhere, but it could
be. I wouldn't be surprised if it
doesn't exist somewhere.
Let's say people really just like
praying for
years. They don't see any Yeshua like
that's just not a sign they should
accept the situation. This is what it
is. Says that person may die for a very
long time. He says even years, any
months, any many days or whatever. And
he still sees by himself that he didn't,
you know, pass schlaval if he didn't he
didn't get anywhere. He says
nevertheless, nevertheless, you keep
diving. Why? He says because every
single diving of person is making a
rosham on high with the shim just
because you can't see it. There are some
people who unfortunately I don't know
why. I didn't see what the reason would
be. I would imagine that there's
something brought down in the ar, but I
didn't see the reason why. by Rebainu
which usually happens. So sometimes if
Rabbena says something is like
open-ended, you'll find it later on by
the kis army or something like that.
You'll find it somewhere. So I just
didn't find this yet. But as to the
explanation as to why there's some
people who don't get to see it in this
world, they only see it in the next
world. But they don't see all of what
they accomplished in this world. But for
most people, you're going to see here,
you know, for most people, I mean, I
don't think we should be looking for
that. You know, it's like the one guy
who like, you know, what if like when I
die, I'm not really dead.
you know, like what are you talking
about? Like what are you thinking about?
Like you know, no, there's been stories
like this. It's like, okay, one or two
out of seven billion people, it's only
going to happen to you. Like, you know,
like so so so a person starts to think
like, you know, we've heard of Jewish
groups like that. Yeah. Yeah. I believe
it. People die, they're not dead, you
know, like you know, this stories of
people accidentally buried alive and
different things like that. You know, I
remember hearing a story like that one
time. I was like stuck on it for so
long. just what if I'm not actually
dead? You know what I'm saying? You
know, then you die a second death
because now you're there inside the cast
and they start piling in. You know, like
people think of crazy things. We should
all all know of uh you know, you know,
so no such things, but I'm saying people
think of like the worst thing of one out
of a billion things that happen and they
go like, "What if that happens to me,
you know, and then they live with it and
it stops Jim from serving a shim today?"
Like, you know, it's like You know, we
we can't think of of of such a thing.
Hashem wants to help us. Hashem's
Hashem's going to help us. You're never
supposed to just accept the situation
like of course for sure. For sure. I
accept it. Right. That's a part of
that's part of
my is that I believe that this is coming
from Hashem. I believe that Hashem is
doing it for the best. Believe is doing
good. But my is taking me even further.
My is saying that I'm also going to
trust in Hashem. only just for this
moment that this is what he wants from
me, but I'm saying I'm going to drive my
to say that Hashem is going to also pull
me out of this situation. There's no
such thing. I mean, think about that.
This is what we talked about before
about if a person is a muna is is is is
uh is
shalem really is everything. Meaning
that
Hashem loves the person, he wants to do
good for the person. And so to is also a
tove that we understand. Hashem doesn't
want to only be on, you know, on his
good, right? So there's a lot of things
that are good by in in Shmay but we
don't understand why those things are
good. He dabbed he said that we should
all always ask Hashem for Rahmanas that
we can understand. There's some Rahmanas
we don't understand from Hashem rightas
but we should be in the habit of ding
for Hashem. I also want to be able to
see the good. So Hashem wants to do good
for the person and he wants that it
should be a good that we should
understand that it's good from Hashem.
So whether it's coming from the Tsar,
whether it's coming from something that
we actually identify as good, the goal
is never for a person to be in a state
of feeling constricted or feeling as if
he's being punished or he's being
rebuked or you know that that's not
where Hashem wants the person and that's
not why things are happening to us for
you to mumish me in a place like that.
Right? The goal and the idea is to get
to a place to where a person shal he's
he's he's whole and he's and he's happy
he's bimh and he's living and he's
tranquil you know that's the way to be
living with the shin. So if a if a
person is going through a hard
time he has to understand that you know
one of the things we know what's the the
one of the greatest uh availabo is is at
is depression the person finds himself
down like there's no use for this mida
like we have no need for it it's not
like this is mamish coming from the
clipas from the other side completely so
the moment that a person ever feels
sadness and feels down that's a
thousand% not coming from hashem he
could
on that it's not coming from Hashem
right so it's not the way he should be
reacting in in that place so if a
person's in that place or he feels
forced to be in that place he can
already be assure that this is not what
Hashem wants for
him right so you understand what I'm
saying is you can already be sure this
is not what Hashem wants from me
right wants you to be happy and the fact
that you realize that even if you're
feeling God's food is a reason to be
happy All right. Also to also to we're
not all on
your levels above us already.
All right. No, not at all. So he says
each
person's make sure we're over
here. He says perfect knowledge is when
you bind your mind and your heart so
that you know Hashem. Hashem is your
God. He says that when you bring this
knowledge into your heart, you will be
filled with awe with with deep awe, with
fear and reverence and of Hashem and you
will not sin. He says the person will
not commit advance. So that means we
only know Hashem so much. Most of us,
most people only know Hashem a little
bit. Most of people haven't got to know
Hashem to such a degree, right, to where
he no longer does a vas anymore. But the
idea there though is is something very
beautiful and we talked about a few
classes. The the idea of of connecting
with
Hashem with the Muna is
lifealtering, right? That it has to
alter a person's life. A person cannot
have an encounter with Hashem and live
his life completely the same way that he
did before. Right? It's you can you can
have a you can have a moment you can
have a flash and there are these these
times of a lotment of heus of awakening
that sometime gets sent down some
shepher from Hashem that just happens
you know every once in a while but a
person doesn't actually have a an
encounter with Hashem on a real level on
a place of like wow I come into a new
understanding of
Hashem and stay the same it just doesn't
happen something changes in the person
right so what that affects depends on
the person but on the deepest level is
bringing here that a person will
actually uh um come to a place that they
will not commit evidence anymore because
they know Hashem that much how could I
so each person's knowledge and awareness
of God are unique to him are unique to
himself according to his horizons of his
heart that's what we talked about a
little bit Hashem knows our love
language Right? Hashem knows how to
speak to us. He knows exactly how to
make sure that it's going to you and and
and it's not for me and it's it's for
him to another person. You know, like
see brings in the beginning. It says
that you know Kean Yachi the way I know
Hashem you can't relate it over to
another person even to himself. So for
sure you're not giving over to the next
person that Hashem just made this aware
to you right? You have a new
understanding of Hashem and you're
trying to give over to another guy, but
Hashem spoke to you. Doesn't reach the
horizons of his heart, but it reaches
yours. So, Hashem knows how. And our
basic knowledge says of Hashem derives
from what we have been taught by our
holy fathers who struggled all of their
lives to divest themselves of all
material attachments. They wanted to get
rid of it. So there's very famous by the
um by Aam bin Rambam that that wrote oh
how did I just lose the safer where's
the safe there's a section over there on
on his bodus over there huh speak yeah
so he brings over there that the reason
why the avot became shepherds was for
the sake of his bodus right so they
could have did other things they could
have gone into different businesses but
the reason why they became shepherd
specific specifically was to carve out
their time with them and Hashem. They
did they wanted to be misbburdened. So
this is why they all did it. So they
they got rid of all of the material
attachments of this world and it says
they conquered all of their negative
traits and all of the desires releasing
themselves from all the show the whole
entire show of of R. And this was how
they came to true recognition and
understanding of Hashem of their
creator. That's how they understand what
he do, right? It sounds like do make
someone not do commit. Huh? It sounds
like he bo.
Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. That's the
deepest connection person can go into
from is from this between them and
Hashem because the more and more a
person talks to it's just a natural
thing. It becomes a reality to the
person that Hashem is there. So
ultimately he experiences more pratas,
he has more divine providence. He
experiences it ultimately brings him
closer to he enters into
more all of it
is not or it's more like treating you
with a friend and treating him like a
friend. Exactly. Where's the ore? Huh?
Where's the or the fear? But it's also a
part of his. So just because brings at
one point that you need to talk to
Hashem like he's your best friend.
There's many other different that bring
also to that a person needs to have fear
and all says on himself. He says I am a
storehouse of your shine. So bayerson
himself right and what's the main way
that he brings his students closer he
wrote it in a letter that writer I think
actually wrote a letter but he made a
loot in a letter that as if it was raenu
talking he says that even though raenu
benu says that he's a storehouse of uh
storehouse of yayim he says specifically
raenu said the way that I brought you
all close to hashem was by the way of
his bobus right so person is a natural
year the more and more you spending time
with the shim you don't just you know go
you know smack pat him on the back and
hashem what's up you know like you know
as meaning best friend to the idea of
that I'm going to not hold anything back
right I'm not going to withhold myself
from talking to hashem about whatever it
is that's bothering me whatever is going
on in my my life the things that I have
any of the inyanim that I'm struggling
with personally I'm not going to hold
back from hashem but we don't we don't
you know degrade hashem down into a
place now the fewer person's at it may
be necessary there are times People have
asked me like, you know, is it okay for
me to yell at a shim? What if I don't
use the best language and all of that?
You know, and then I I usually tell
people, sorry, I usually tell people the
truth is is
that you haven't been talking to Hashem.
Hashem wants to hear from you. I don't
care how you how you say, Hashem wants
to hear from you. No doubt about it. So,
you'll work yourself through the motions
and eventually also brings in to that
the make cha chuva. Make a cha. So
you'll say sorry later for how you talk
to Hashem. You know what I'm saying?
Later on you're going to say sorry. You
know Hashem, I talked to you and I spoke
to you in my place. Later on you're
going to say sorry because you're going
to realize the awe of Hashem. You're
going to see how great Hashem is and
you're going to feel bad about what you
did. But the first thing first is begin
the relationship. Go in with both feet.
Let Hashem have it. It's all good.
Hashem could take it. You know like the
volat brings. He has more sleekers than
we have of theirs. So we we let us have
it. He has more forgiveness than we can
ever sin before he hashem. Hashem has
more forgiveness. It's a bigger bowl
over there. Forgiveness than than the
ability of how much avance that a person
can even make. So therefore person
should go and talk to in the way that he
feels right because Hashem will come
closer to a person. We said is close to
call out out to him in truth. Be met
person. I'm speaking my truth. Hashem
this is where I'm really at. And that's
fine. the more and more I build the
relationship, I'm gonna realize, shim,
how did I talk to you like that? I can't
believe it. I talked to Hashem that way.
You know, it's a it's a crazy. So, we
we there is to begin the relationship.
Begin the
relationship. So, it says your sins and
persons of errors and wrongdoings may
cause you great anguish and you may
suffer the worst agonies of regret. Yet
your very contrition over your sins
actually increases your days and adds to
your life. For the fear of Hashem
increases one's days as it says in in
Proverbs Mish.
I skipped part. Oh, did I? Oh, they have
left. Sorry.
Oh, okay. So, it says, "But if you have
true faith, let me see. We're like
second paragraph." Oh. Oh, yeah. The
second the second to last paragraph
right here. Yeah. Where are we at? They
I lost myself. They left this good
heritage to us. That's also good. Okay.
I was already in there. I was I was I
picked up from where I was on the last
page. We were I flipped it. All right.
So that's coming soon. All right. So So
they left this good heritage talking
about the avote. Sorry about that. And
and our duty um is to accept it with the
utmost joy. So happy are we? How good is
our portion? How pleasant is our love?
How beautiful is our heritage? As we say
as we say in the chakras. So they left
behind these beautiful inyan for us like
amuna and and
and nephish and all these other things
these things yadic left back kadusha we
have certain things from the avot that
we have access to that other people
don't have access to but these are these
are part of the the yusha that we got
from from the avote it's interesting
he's translating auh happy we're happy
ah ah
is like you know we're fortunate
Yes. Fortunate. Happy are we. Happy are
we. The same thing. When a person's
fortunate, he's happy.
I'll take it. I'll take sure. Who's
wealthy? Who's fortunate?
Yeah. Right. Right. It's all the same
concept.
True or simple. This is when the to
Torah tells us to know God, to know
Hashem, it is teaching us to bring this
holy knowledge into our minds and in our
thoughts and to bind it in our heart
hearts constantly at all times in order
to shimos that his fear will be upon our
faces so that we will not
sin. It's a big thing. I take Hashem to
some very very dark places sometimes.
You know that's the real truth is that
and and and the and there is such a
light like this and this brings it back
to his bodies because talks about you
could tell who has his bodies or not
right person that talks to Hashem you
could tell whether or not he has it
there's a certain aura and light right
that comes about from talking to Hashem
and and and also brings if a person
wants the organ if he wants to be able
to taste of it sorry legs are getting
stuck here if he wants to be able to
taste of the organ then he needs to
engage in a lot of sifa between him and
Hashem in order to get it. What's G
news? G news is like a hidden like
something that's secret. Yeah, like a
hidden light, right? A hidden light. Oh,
what's up, man? You're late.
Nobody Nobody saw. Nobody saw. No one
noticed. I was only waiting for you. Now
we could start. Now we can start.
We just missed you. That's all. It's all
coming from missing you. So he says the
non-believers. Next section right here.
He says the good life. So he says people
that don't believe in Hashem, the
non-believers have no life in this world
because as soon as things go against
them and certainly when trouble strikes,
they simply have nowhere to turn. They
have nobody to turn to since they
attribute everything to nature. Yeah.
That's why I feel so bad for this
generation struggling like a generation
struggle with these things like
connection trust and faith like
lacks help. Right. Right. Right. Right.
Right. No, it's a very true thing. It's
very
hard. And it says that they're left with
nothing to fortify themselves as you
said because they they have no trust in
Hashem. So they're finished and and it's
you said it right because it's more you
know many years ago I don't know if
there was so so much of a such thing of
as anxiety like there is now you know
there are many different there are many
different physical things that um
contribute to this also too lack of
movement lack of activeness. People were
much more active than they were today.
Today a lot of more people work at work
in front of computers and you know only
a shim knows what all this technology is
doing to our brains and all that and all
the kids are outside a lot huh kids are
outside a lot they were back then today
most kids are playing video games right
they're not outside as much yeah they're
not outside as much so all the kids are
scared the adults are scared everybody's
scared cuz there's a certain to to to
the exercising and moving and all the
endorphins that it causes to a person
I'm talking all pva right now so I'm
saying on the physical level even you
understand what a person's going
through. So you know much more so the
spiritual depravity of this generation
on top of that you're headed for a
disaster. You're really headed for you
don't believe in Hashem you are headed
for a disaster in this generation. It's
it's really really true.
And he says, "But the one who has faith
and believes in Hashem has a very good
life. And even when trouble strikes, he
can still fortify himself with this
trust in Hashem." And I know that this
is true. I I was a very massive huge
Seattle Seahawks fan. Okay. All right. I
used to love the Seahawks. All right.
And uh and it took a lot of doubling and
crying to shim to get over my football
addiction. Okay. All right. But and I
know I know this is silly, but I have to
tell you this. You know, there would be
those tough games, you know, and you're
like down to the wire and then in the
end, you know, you lose the game. You
know, you're like, ah, you know, even
though, you know, it's all steal the
whole everything, whatever. You feel it.
You know, you feel it. You know, I used
to comfort myself. I still have a shim,
you know. At least I still have a shim.
Wow. You know, I still have a shim, you
know. I mean, for me, that was my point,
you know. I was like, at least I still
have a shim. You know, I know it's a
silly idea. It works for much deeper
issues than that also, but but you know,
if you can if you can if you can realize
that that even in the midst of any type
of struggle, you know, h such a
struggle, lose a football game is not
such a big deal. But wherever a person
is in their life that at the end of the
day, I still have a shim. Hashim is
still with me. Oh, this deal didn't go
through. It didn't happen the way I
wanted it to happen and uh now this is
going to set me back or this thing or I
lost this thing or I lost that person in
my life. Whatever the case it is. At the
end of the day, a person's able to
fortify himself with the fact that he
still be talking to Hashem. I can still
trust in Hashem, right? Because he knows
that everything is for the best. This is
acceptance being like we were talking
being Makab. So either the suffering
will cleanse him of his sins or
eventually bring him some great benefit.
You know, one of the things is going to
happen. Hashim is going to take care of
me regardless of how it happens. So,
brought a different idea. I forget where
it was. Where was
that? There's a whole story of Hashgaka
brought this and it and in a case I
can't remember it was this idea that
there was supposed to be some nace. was
juxtaposed to some story where there was
some radical
nace told the story and it was like no
nace it was like stomp something
happened say he says that was also
working in this story also you know you
know was also working it's cuz you
didn't see some crazy poor something no
was also working in this so sometimes
hashem wants it to come like this or
sometimes not that like that and and
what happens a lot of times this is
probably also to your point also to is
like sometimes there are also those
moments
where person dobins and dobins and
dabbins on something and then you come
to realize thank you Hashem you didn't
answer me you know I'm so happy you
didn't answer those tilas right cuz
Hashem where would I have been if that
would actually happened you know a
certain maturity a person has in their
in their relationship with Hashem and
and and who they are and they're able to
be honest with themselves to know that
if that would happen hashem I don't know
if I'd be serving you right now if that
would have happened right I don't think
I I would be here
So there's also the aspect of it
also. So he says for Hashim's intention
is certainly for the good. So therefore
a person of amuna a man of faith always
has a good life both in this world and
in the world to come. The non-believers
however have no life either in this
world or in the next. And those who
really know them see that they are
always racked with suffering and they
endure constant pain and anxiety because
things never go exactly as they want.
All their days is filled with anger with
pain and anger. And in this world is
impossible for everything to go the way
that one wants. It's impossible. So
those who ignore the truth enduring
purpose uh enduring uh the enduring
purpose of life satisfying only the
material desires are doomed to a life of
constant pain and suffering without
having any way to console themselves. So
there was a there there was a years ago
came out with a su called oradash. So
was very controversial because he was
like you know telling people like no no
no to tell straight on be very stern
with the shim about what it is you want.
So he he made sure that people
understood he's talking about when it
comes to to things in
people start thinking you can start
screaming for Ferrari. You understand
what I mean? It's a different thing. So
and clarity because there's other places
and Rebana talks about this also too
when you're allowed when you're supposed
to be patient and be kind. And it's
specifically Rebana is talking about
over here when it comes to material
things when it comes to things of of
religiosity and things that are going to
actually be uh spiritual that's going to
connect a person to Hashem. We don't
accept we accept our level in our
madrega but we're always pushing to go
more. So when it comes to spiritual
things, this concept nerv has like
stealing a prayer. You could steal
exactly. So you're saying that doesn't
apply to to spiritual things. I'm saying
to physical things like we we discussed
before. You could only to steal
something from God only applies to
physical things. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Now, we're not
actually fix that. We're not actually
stealing from Hashem, right? We're
stealing from from from what's going on
in the world. Meaning that you have
something that you're supposed to do and
you've allotted allotted your time for
that right now, right? And for whatever
reason, there's a little bit of a time
of a break and or you could be busy with
something else. And Raenu is saying
steal the time, right? That's stealing
Hashem's time. Hashem's with you all the
time. He's he's he's ready and
available. So what we're stealing over
there is we're stealing time from
whatever activity we're involved with at
the time to take that time to say
something to Hashem or to learn
something, whatever the case is. So
that's the idea of stealing time. The um
the other part of
um the other part of of of asking Hashem
for spiritual things versus material
things is is brought by by Renasan that
says that we we talked about this I
think before also too is that there's a
tila that's higher than lim tora and
there's a tila that's lower right so
things that are for for da these things
are higher things that are for physical
and material things these things are
lower. So we're talking about a madre of
the tila and what things we should be
pushing and what we should be satisfied.
So a lot of times when it comes to
material things we don't push and you'll
see what you'll see later on he talks
about sitting waiting being patient
don't push the hour don't be don't push
the hour right has a different lush when
it comes to looking for rrookness when
it comes for growing and elevating
yourself that's when a person turns on
the push right now we don't get
complacent and say you know like a lot
of people say I'm just a simple yeah and
I'm not so whatever you know and then
what does that person do when it comes
to business or whatever he wants to be
the best he's got to be the top of the
top. He's not settling for anything
else. When it comes to this Yiddish guy,
I'm not such a tadik. I'm just a simple
Jew and then he says we're the opposite.
When it comes to
pronounce, huh? Even if you're
pushing by roughly it's supposed to push
like like in a strong way or even
supposed to be like like you're begging
you you push yourself you beg you
begging to doesn't mean I'm not being
makabo we have to look at even this idea
but says that a person has one hour of
the day that you're allowed to have a
leisha that you're allowed to have a
broken heart before hashem meaning
seeking beseeching hashem chuva all of
those things because from a deep place
of yearning and crying out to that hem
of that place. That's only one hour
really. After that, the other 23 hours
we have a mandate to be bas and to be
happy with Hashem and whatever. So
that's usually so I usually tell people
if you are going to take on like a long
amount of hours like six hours whatever
one hour you could do chuva once hour
you could you could do chuv don't spend
six hours in cha you know. Huh? Huh?
Where did you do that?
Talking to Hashem, being basing Hashem
for for whatever it is that you want,
but you're not coming from this place of
crying and like, you know, you go and
spend that time with Hashem
appropriately. So, one hour. So, meaning
that outside of that already, you're not
trying to put yourself in such a
situation where even when it comes for
that you're like mamish, obsessingly,
overly crying to where you're going to
fall flat flat on your face because
Hashem's not giving me what I need. So
if you don't have the acceptance part at
first say okay this is my madrega hashim
but I want to be here I'm going to push
myself a little bit more okay I'm not
holding in the hour I'm talking to
already 5 minutes okay tomorrow 6
minutes I'm going to do things I'm going
to use strategy like says it's the whole
entire opposite lion that used when it
comes from physical things and when it
comes to spiritual things and and
physical and material
things says don't be don't push the hour
he says be patient except that it's from
Hashem He says that you know people do
all these different type of strategimms
and everything to try to get rich and
all that. Bainu brings it and then when
it comes to
rrookes says person's got to push
himself. He should be most in that fish.
He should he should you know you know
never give up an keep fighting. He says
use strategy at this time. It is a good
time to use strategy to get to make a
strategy to get closer to Hashem. Set
things in place to where you're going to
come close to Hashem. It's an opposite
language than what the world speaks. The
world speaks precisely the opposite,
right? It's a very interesting thing.
So,
but if you have a if you have true
faith, your main hope is in the world to
come. The person is living with that.
And he's always thinking about, you
know, thinking about his time after this
world. I don't know what he was asking.
I think he was asking about food. Oh,
really? Oh, sh. Amen.
So, but if you have true faith in ama,
so your your main hope is in the world
to come. That's what a person's thinking
about. I'm thinking of
I'm not thinking about I'm thinking
about and you therefore have a very good
life. So it says whatever happens to
you, you have amuna that everything is
for the good and whatever comes to
remind you to repent and to atone for
your sins and whatever comes it's for
the I think it says whatever whether it
comes to remind you to repent or atone
for your sins so that you may be worthy
of the everlasting good in the world to
come. That's my relationship to as this
is helping me get to the next world.
everything as I'm looking at what's
going to bring me to the ultimate goal
is this elation se this Vegas with
Hashem being wrapped in his aava and
Hashem's love that's the place I'm
looking for which the main place for
that is inabah it's not in this world so
the things in this world I'm only my
relationship with him is how you know
what can you do for me you know is what
can you do for me I have a
goal your sins and your wrongdoing a
person's of may cause you great anguish
and you may suffer the worst agonies of
regret. Yet your very contrition over
your sins, this is why we read before on
accident increases your days and adds to
your life. For the fear of Hashem
increases one's days.
And you may experience great pain. This
is this is a very very
important. You may experience great pain
when you regret your availance. I mean,
people come up to me and just like,
dude, how do you get over everything
that you did before in the past? Can't
live scam. He can't live now today
because he's thinking about what he did.
I don't know how many years ago. One guy
came up to me and made chuba like he was
already like I think maybe 30 years in
his chuvo, you know, and he was like
like still have regret on things that I
had that I've done many many years ago.
It's a it's a big thing that people, you
know, people people need Hashem in Ber's
teachings. He says you may feel because
you need to understand what a gym it is.
You know what a gym it is to to feel to
feel that and what it's doing for a
person. So he says right here, look, you
may feel deeply ashamed when
contemplating Hashem's exalted
exaltedness and you may cringe in fear
of the punishment for the things that
you did because ultimately we have to
have this nuda. As much as the world is
very busy with oh Hashem loves me,
Hashem loves me is gonna tell you how
much Hashem loves you. But he says the
beginning of a starts
with years. So you have to have years
fear of punishment. Fear of punishment.
Right? So but how much of it? Everything
in measurement. Because he says right
here, whatever form it takes, this
suffering is caused by your very fear of
hashem. You're displaying your shamim
right now because you feel bad already.
I feel bad. I regret and I'm fearing
Hashem's fearing Hashem's done. And this
already the suffering right here is
caused because I have and the fear of
Hashim increases one's days. I'm adding
to my life because I felt bad about what
I did. There's asking me how do you
feel? How do you get over the regret? If
you understand what reward you have
because you have regret that you felt
something some way about it, you know
how much Hashem has cleansed you because
of the regret because of the karat that
you have. It's a it's a it's a it's a
beautiful thing.
A lot of the regret come from ego.
Sometimes regret does come from ego.
Once it's inhibiting you, right? Like
anxiety, you know, once it become a bad
thing. When does hero become a bad
thing? Because once it's inhibiting a
person from living, once you're not no
longer able to live anymore because you
have it. Everybody should have some type
of regret. You know, you think you can't
be you can't be mel if you don't have
regret. If you don't have aim, you can't
you can't be you can't be a king. Can't
be a mel. If Hashem can't dangle
anything over your head, you know what
I'm saying? Hey, hey buddy, remember,
you know, if you have nothing, you know,
you can't be elevated. When it's having
like a negative impact on your life, a
negative impact on what about it? That's
like once it's having a negative impact.
Exactly. Wrong fear of God. Exactly. But
once I have a regret or if I've seen
that I made a mistake that's going to
cause me to do things differently in the
in the future, I'm already I'm already
I'm already mah what I did. what what I
what mistake I had but the karat there
is helping me to help me to realize that
Ime I still have shim I still I still
feel bad there's something to rejoice
over fact I have shim I feel I have
some make person accept the regret the
feelings of regret the fact that he
knows that it's like exactly exactly
that's what I'm saying here right I'm
using now I'm using this thing in the in
in the way that it was designed for me
because it says the very pain and anxiet
add to your days. This is the fuel for
for you know for for elongating your
time here. So if you're a person of
amuna, you will find it easier to
repent. You'll have truva first. So true
repentance or truva must balance the
sin. You have endured pain and suffer an
equal measure to the enjoyment you
derived from the sin. You understand
what that means? So that you know you
live to some degree. So person says,
"Wow, Hashem, I did a lot of things in
my life. You know, I'm going to have to
suffer for that long. you know to to
some degree necessarily meaning in terms
of time right so we have to think of
time you know I've been a you know ball
of era for 20 years so now I have to go
through 20 years of suffering not a
matter of time but it's about of of of
of the agony and in in pain that that
helps a person to to to be able to make
cha
so he says since you believe in
hashem and it says god but sometimes I
say hashem sometimes As I say, God, you
will never be able to have complete
enjoyment from any sin. A person that
really believes in Hashem, he's going to
feel bad. If he does something that he
knows is wrong, you're not going to to
have it. So, and because any wrongdoing
that you do will be mixed with feelings
with the full knowledge that in the end
it's going to be bitter. That it will
end bitterly. He says so you know the
bitter punishment for each sin so that
if you succumb to the temptation you are
filled with regrets even as you are
doing the a saw this one time in the
sham he brought that that a person
realizing that he's a ben even in the
midst of a of an a brings a certain
rahman from he realizes that even I'm
stuck here but I'm a b I'm a bin I'm not
a I'm not a I'm a bin I'm I'm I'm with
Right?
So he says that even in the midst of
this the person is doing something
that's also to dev the to says that
Hashem is feeding the person you know
giving him and life at the time he's
using that very breath to commit a favor
is against at the time if a person's a
believes in Hashem he's not getting real
seook out of it he's not getting any
pleasure out of it he's causing him own
self pain while he's doing it I I want
to add to this on this note of like
regret when it comes to I wrote in the
level is I heard from he who was saying
that holds pretty much everyone in the
generation now is a tinish right which
is concept of a captured uh kid and
basically he applied that to every
single aspect of yeah like generally
speaking and it's I think it's maz
I think it's the thing basically not
treated as a willful sinner basically so
even any of us who are amazing amazed
when we're when we're doing um even now
when we're doing sins like we're we're
we're
um there's There's opinions that hold
that that we're not treated, we're not
punished at the same level, someone
who's who fully knows and everything.
It's really new, you know, different
have more compassion, you know, it's a
different idea, different understanding
and knowledge. I think 20 person because
you don't have enough as well, right?
Yeah, it's also that throw that. Very
similar. Plenty of time, right? Plenty
of time. All right. Yeah, one more year
at a certain point you for certain
mitzvah also you could get out of being
considered a teen and then be
responsible. All right the mitzvah I got
13 more months because the reason the
reason why for instance it says that
says that a person should know Hashem in
all your ways because there could be
ways you don't know Hashem and there are
ways that you do know Hashem. There's
certain aspects of my relationship with
Hashem. I'm very tight with the shim and
I know and so therefore I have a
certain as opposed to other areas I
don't have the in right a person knows
very much so that he you know for
example shouldn't hit a light on chabas
and he knows this very well he said in
like it's it's pressure for him he
understands that it's true but he
probably didn't know that if he you know
he couldn't you know if he if he walking
his dog he couldn't pick up his dog and
you know from that he's not he didn't
know this you know what I'm saying it
just He didn't know this, but this other
thing he knew. I'm just using simple
things. Uh, for instance, I didn't know
my dog was Muka and Shabas, you know.
So, he didn't know that. So, but this he
knew already. So, you're right to some
degree. If you know Hashem in a certain
way, then you should getting a call from
Yu right
now. I'll call him
back. So,
um, so he says here that if you
It says since you believe in Hashem,
right? We just went through all of this
and therefore it's much easier for you
to repent because you do not have to
endure the So there he goes right here.
This a very important nuda. You guys got
to hear this. This is mama's crazy. So
he says, you know the bitter punishment
for each sin. So that if you succumb to
the temptation, you'll feel regrets as
if uh with regrets even as you sin. It
is therefore much easier, listen to him,
for you to repent and make chuva because
you do not have to endure the unbearable
pains of chuva since the pleasure from
your sins was never very great. Wow.
For you, you feel bad, right? I made
whatever and I and I felt bad. Hashem, I
feel horrible. Whatever. So, that sort
of makes it easier as opposed to where
he says for the non-believer, the person
doesn't believe in Hashem. However, the
chuva is much harder for this person.
It's much more of a burden because
having suffered a little pain or remorse
at the time of the sin, they're
obligated to suffer when they repent in
order to balance the pleasure of the
averas that they right. Wow. So the
degree that the person had pleasure from
the ara is how much that person has to
suffer in in the chuva itself. What do
you mean suffer? meaning to Megan Mataya
people who come close to Hashem I don't
know how many times I heard this even
though Rebenu has all the
answers when a person comes close to
Hashem it says that Hashem is yakar he
brings him with the with the right hand
but with the left hand he's pushing him
away right so a lot of times there's
this tug of war of like wow I'm ready to
give everything to Hashem he comes and
he sees that I keep falling flat on my
face every time I want to do the next
thing whatever all right I got you know
wow today uh you know uh you know I'm I
woke up early I donate and whatever I
feel everything early next day God
doesn't you know what happened all my
zeal yesterday I have nothing to put on
to feel everything's hard for me I was
doing so good I was so inspired after
this year last night I didn't I didn't
say a single word of len today I'm on
everybody and he feels bad that's I was
I thought I was doing it right there's
so many different things that a person
wants to accomplish after they come
close to Hashem and they see that listen
in the Everything feels like it's in our
control. That's the whole entire idea
with with with the cha. We think mish
like, "Oh, we're real bul. If I want to,
I could do it. Whatever." Is it me? Oh,
I'll stop smoking. It's no
problem. His hands start shaking. All of
a sudden, realize that whatever. We
don't realize how much of a grasp that,
you know what I'm saying, that the that
this world of sheer has on the person
until he starts serving Hashem. Then
when he starts to want to serve Hashem
and he sees how hard it really is for
him to give up all the bad mid dot all
the character traits all the different
things and to the degree that the person
enjoyed such the life before to whatever
degree it could be the person's was from
and and you know going in and out on his
earr or or you know a person that even
had much more of attachment to that fee
how the person received pleasure or any
type of enjoyment from that life as how
much that they have to purify and
cleanse themselves in this world, right?
To that degree. But if a person had
knowledge and understanding of Hashem so
so to so much so to where they actually
felt bad about the things that they did,
then that also aids in the chuva. It
makes the chuva much easier for the
person. Wow. Right. Shim should help us.
Shim is so so kind. He's so kind. Person
thinks it was so bad. But I felt so bad.
Yeah. What did you say? The person does
sin and he feels bad about it. It makes
it feel so bad. It feels bad. It feels
bad. Yeah. Yeah. It feels bad. It's main
job. That's That's a But I'm saying
there is a good stop the cycle. That's
There's a good meter for that though.
Like that's what I'm saying. The chuba
and chuva is is such a meter like that.
I heard by
um who was it? I can't believe I just
forgot of Bale. Bale does a lot of stuff
with BRI. One time he was given a shar
and shest and I heard him give this
example. He says that you know a person
comes to the one day and he starts
praising the he says wow you're amazing.
You're so great. You're so like I can't
believe I'm in front of the I go. Wow.
Yes. He says why he's so excited. You
understand? He said the big go. Yes. He
could read
Hebrew. Like what? Yeah, that's he's
amazing. He can read Hebrew. And then a
year later, he comes and realized he
says, "Oh my goodness, what did I just
say?
Was he see him again?" And he goes, he
even knows how to read it without the
necote. He doesn't need the vowels. He
can read the, you know, and then next
year he comes back and goes, "Oh my
goodness, that was the how could I set
that?" The more that his level and
degree of knowledge of understanding of
who Hashem is, the more and more he has
to make chuva on the previous chuva. It
was insufficient. I said sorry and I had
but I only knew then how bad I should
feel. I didn't know I should feel that
bad. Right? So now I have to say sorry
on the sorry that I said because the
sorry I had before was insufficient.
Right. Levels levels. Levels to the
game.
Levels. Thank you.
