One of the most important mitzvot that a
person needs to know about is the
mitzvah
of nephesh is not an easy mitzvah. By
default it's the opposite. What is
nephesh?
Self-sacrifice. Self-sacrifice for
hashem. Now question
comes page 53b says when do you know
that you are a aid a servant of hashem
everybody thinks that they're a servant
of hashem as soon as they put a kipa on
or ku a long skirt a dress maybe pot
maybe a tit everything no I'm a servant
of hem all day I'm watching shuine yeah
you're a servant of hem you have to test
yourself how do you know you're a
servant of hem I Pray doesn't mean
you're servant of I learned to doesn't
mean you're servant of I do doesn't mean
you're servant of who servant of mash
was servant of but you're also obligated
to be servant
of how do you know we're all obligated
to be the ladies the men
everybody not to be everybody's in their
own level but the point being we're all
obligated to do it how do you know
you're there how do you know you get how
do you get there as soon as you come to
the conclusion that you're going to do
what Hashem
said even when you don't want to. That's
when you start understanding the role of
an
evid. If your servitude of Hashem is
only on your conditions, you are as far
from being anem as B
was. If you are going to serve Hashem
only when it fits your agenda, only when
it fits your schedule, only when it fits
your budget, only when it fits your
lifestyle, you're not an evid. You're
just another person maybe. An avid
doesn't have his own or her own will. An
evid has the will of the master.
Now, of course, that doesn't necessarily
mean that he wants to do it, but he's
going to do it because the master said
so. So, that means that the master said
wake up early in the morning. I don't
want to wake up in the morning. Who
wants to wake up early in the morning?
No one wants to wake up early, but the
master said to wake up early in the
morning. So, guess what you'd have to
do? You want to be in Hashem, you have
to wake up early in the morning. You
don't want to be in Hashem or you want
to pretend, pretend. Wake up at 12 to 1
2 3 5:00. Wake up. Go ahead. Pretend in
your
head means you have to learn to Yeah,
but I don't like to learn to Okay, so
you're not going to have No, no, no, but
I want to be okay. I'll learn to when I
get a chance. That's not I learn to when
I have time. It's not. I learn to when
I'm in a good mood. That's not I'll
learn Torah when I feel good. Not You
know what is? You learn Tawra even when
you don't want to. Even when you're
sick. Even when you feel like you're
about to die, even when you feel like
you're on fire, even when you are tired,
even when you are busy, even when you
hate it, even when you don't understand
it, even when you simply want to run
away, you know what you do? You learn.
That's
an Yeah, but I feel like I'm wasting my
time. Perfect. You do it. Yeah, but I'm
not benefiting out of it. No, you're
benefiting. You're being Yeah, but I'm
not learning anything. I'm learning. I'm
reading. Reading. Reading. I don't
understand a single word. Perfect. Who
said you have to
understand? Command. Learn Tawa. He
didn't say you have to understand. Learn
Tawa. Obviously trying to understand,
but learn Tawa. Yeah, but why don't I
just go read like I don't know a kids
book or something. If that's Tora in
that kids book, read it. But if it's not
Torah, then read what you're reading.
Why? Because that's what wants you to
do. But it's hard. Perfect. That's
perfect. What do you think? It's easy
job from the
anid is a person that when someone
insults him, when someone yells at him,
especially when it's his wife,
especially when it's a husband, and she
knows Hashem doesn't want me to respond.
Hashem doesn't want me to curse back,
but I want to. I want to curse him to
make sure his mother is reminded of what
I think of him. I want to do something
to this person that he's going to
remember for the next three generations.
But you know what I'm going to do?
Nothing. Why? Because Hashem doesn't
want me to do it. I want to do it. And I
actually think he deserves it. What am I
going to do? Nothing. I'm going to sit
quiet. Tat, I love you, honey. While
he's cursing me. You're so cute when you
curse. You're so adorable. What do you
want to eat? What do you want to eat?
You want salad with the steak? Why?
Hashem wants me to stay like this. Why?
Cuz if I fight with him, you know what's
going to happen? It's going to get
worse. So, I'm going to do what Hashem
wants me to do. What Hashem wants me to
do is stay quiet. Yeah, but he's
insulting you publicly. He's writing
stuff against you on the internet. He
wrote eight, nine, 10 articles about
you. He called you names. He did this.
What do you mean? Why don't you tell him
back? Why? For what purpose? To show.
Who? Who are you showing? Did he insult
Hashem? No. He insulted you. Who cares
about me? If he insulted Hashem, that's
something for me to respond to. Insulted
me. Cares about that. Why? Hashem only
that
[Music]
matters. Means that you're going to do a
bunch of stuff that you don't want to
do. Why? Hashem wants you to do it. And
as soon as we realize that that's the
life we're supposed to aspire to be,
that's when we begin our journey of
being
