Why You Can’t See the Truth

that averos can cause someone to become someone who does not understand the truth. The the Rebi explains based on this and that when someone doesn't see the truth when someone is not involved in truth and wants to attach to Hashem but he can't attach to Hashem. Why? Because of his aas and he has to engage in the love of Hashem and the fear of Hashem sometimes the reality of who you're around or what you're with is what drags you down. Even if you're doing your best, even if you're doing your best, then you still can't access the truth. And the Rebi explains this in the name of Kadon that sometimes a person has impure thoughts not because of what he ate or because of what he engages in but even because of who he's around and he has to distance himself from them. And so here in here lies the reason the Torah is telling us in this week's para why here in the middle of Nvish it says attach yourself to Hashem because attaching yourself to Hashem is the opposite of Nvish. Nvish is the individual who will drag you down but the is the individual who will lift you up. [Music]
