Bitachon 38 - Lishma & Bitachon

you're listening to the 38th edition of the beatles podcast and we're going to continue in the 12th chapter of the alternative article and although i said we're in the last chapter we're actually not which is exciting because there's more there's always more to learn about there's 13 chapters but we are closing in on the end of the section says why should i leave all of my paths of service of hashem the foolishness it sounds so foolish if you look at it on the outside easy to make this mistake but i'm going to lose everything because of a little stain on my clothes why am i not afraid of the statement of our sages also our sages tell us when he said i see somebody he was playing with his hair he's checking out his clothes feeling his clothes says this one is mine it's magician how can i agree to living a life of compromise and give up the main things in the service of hashem are interesting right what are they i know hale shema of been speaking about you know vardik these were the main tenets of irish this is what we're about this is what learning is about this is what is about this is what yiddish is about it's about serving hashem with purity doing things for the right reasons and we talking having a real connection with we can ask him for anything and we can be assured that we're going to get what we need without these two concepts these two tenets we can't get to a real service of hashem you can't get to a true spiritual greatness for hurry up now we see from experience that a person who indeed gives in to these types of saharas veers away from that which we know to be true and gives in to the idea of charis of making reconciliations between this side and that side it ends up that that person is somebody who learned and laughed because when we look at this matter we'll see that there are two different types of people who come into the category of channel parish means that they learned for a while and they left one is a person who separates himself completely from the life of tyrant from the way of the torah and instead gets involved in living based on his desires he just follows his desires what he wants he runs after the enjoyments of a world that just is passing that's one aspect you know a person who just leaves the entire life or the essence the spirit of what entire life is about and he runs after his his desires but there's another one there's another aspect but even a person who's a banality is someone who desires to have closeness to a kurdish poor who desires to have a relationship with hashem who's trying striving for greatness striving for a higher spiritual level that can also fall into this trap this is the importance of this is how important it is to be talking because without excuse me without be talking so what happens is a person falls into all the questions of life the questions of life how am i going to pay my mortgage am i going to pay my bills am i going to support my family all these questions come about because a person is doesn't have to properly talk and doesn't have that proper faith in hashem that he's going to get what he needs he's come up and a person who's really ism of ish who really does search for god a person gives up on reaching a truly high level in their spirituality why religion to go in the ways of the earlier generations when he thinks about when he looks at himself he looks into his own leanings he sees it's so hard to be pulled after the truth right to do what's right requires constant effort constant recalibration constant coming back so doing what's right constantly coming back it's not something that just flows to do the wrong thing it just flows it's easy person does the wrong thing and it's it's my it pulls him along so the right thing doesn't have that same that same nishika the same pull so because he sees it so hard so he decides that even though he knows he he believes that when it comes to service of hashem it comes to what life is all about the main thing is that we talking to have faith in hashem to trust that he's going to give him what he needs and the main thing is to have shema to serve hashem for the right reasons for pure with pure motivations he knows that that's the foundation that's the main thing of avodah hashem notices the foundation of what's going to cause the torah to continue to exist within him inaudible a person doesn't feel like he has any way to get there even though his heart is is saddened by that but still feels like he's not going to get there so he gives up he says look having great spirituality having a great reaching a great spiritual level it's not for me she has school lights for previous generations for special individuals it's not for the amount it's not for everybody it's not for me although that person knows the sages a person is obligated to say masayagyuma well my actions reach the level of avermeet talking about abraham isaac and jacob right it's a ton of debate leo bear cafe so even though that's true and even though he knows that he acknowledges that but he still says he says it's just impossible for me to reach such a level holy stop listen i gotta be happy with what i have okay i don't have such a high spiritual level but i'll be happy with what i have and it's a terrible fiance i'll keep the tire the way most people keep it the way the general populace keeps it i like the socks of the balabatim right he's going to explain what is the socks of the balabaton the way a balabai wallaby is based on his own feeling he doesn't bask him based on any great knowledge any great wisdom perishable gives us the example there's a concept by uh when a person has a question he is saying so there's an idea it's he brings here now you have to have it which means crowned it has to be crowned the cup has to be crowned so what does it mean so imperative comparison one possibility is like rashi explains actually because it's selfie if it means that you crown it you you place cups many cups around a couple of the question and that's the idea of crowning it it's making a beautification of it other possibility is that you leave a little bit of space at the top of the cup shouldn't be so high the level of the wine shouldn't be so high or the grapes shouldn't be so high and you see a little bit of the cup on the top so there's a crown above the wine and this is the idea of das balabatim the way that obama bust thinks the way that a person who's not it's not molument he's not hasn't worked on his meters he hasn't worked he just does whatever he feels he does what he thinks is is good for him so one person says that's your first name says it must be that the shot is like the second shot which is that so the second person asks him how do you know this where do you get it's not like rashi rashi says it means a different thing well here's a good pair of debris shining the second explanation we don't find it mentioned in any of the rashing see the tas so the first one responds and says like this i don't know the source for this explanation rock nearly misfortune i won't explain this way because it makes sense to me if we're required to be completely full so what's going to happen a person pick up the cup it'll it'll spill out on his clothing it'll get dirty so the tire doesn't want me to get dirty so it seems to me that the second shot which is that there should be a little space on top that's what makes sense okay so it sounds ridiculous but this is the way a person can think if he hasn't worked on his meters if he hasn't subdued his own will to the will of hashem to the will of the torah a person like this thinks this way in many other areas in many different areas and when it comes to things that have to do with the main concept of the torah across the way that people think the way that people decide the way that the minds of the regular people work those who are not steeped in torah wisdom what does it mean it means to sit there to shake to be to be worried they don't worry about properly fulfilling the commandments of hashem the thing that they're most concerned about is that their clothing should be clean a person who was originally from the people who indeed wanted to grow spiritually who's sitting and learning a person like that can reach that level can can fall down and end up in a place where indeed given up on reaching great spiritual heights yes ms believes he no longer has the long-term goal to and doesn't have that desire to try to reach the true truth without any compromises he's already given into the compromises he says look i can't i can't continue in a life which is so difficult or so it's just not for me that's the way the person thinks and a person can end up very easily as alter says in this balabata thinking this way of thinking which is counterproductive which doesn't bring him to the true truth but rather brings him to do whatever he feels like doing which is not the rest of hashem not not the will of hashem iraq this is the altar of the only way in the only way to get to be talk when we need to get to the only way to get to higher levels of greatness in service of hashem of spirituality is only by living a life of separation and leaving the place of sin right a person needs to know if i hang out in this place i'm going to end up in trouble and end up doing things wrong person needs to know that i need to live a life where i don't need so much i don't have to need so much why do i need so much cashmeres i need so much money so much wealth why am i running after the guy who's rich and how he made it rich why am i running after that why is it so important to me i need more and more physical things why do i need more and more typists more and more things that don't satisfy me they're my malukin salt water you drink salt water it makes you more thirsty that's how it is with all the all these things a person needs to separate themselves from it what does a person need to do you need to establish yourself in a group of people who are trying to become better or trying to serve hashem who are trying to become greets trying to attain great spiritual levels trying to serve hashem properly by doing so so in so doing that's how a person reaches a true level of living a life of torah said without this heinous when a person does not want to give up anything he doesn't want to give up the titus he wants those things he wants to have money he wants to have all the satisfaction quote unquote all the satisfying things of this world all of the desires of this world so he wants to have everything so he doesn't want to give up anything he shall say he's trying to get both trying to be spiritual he's also trying to get all of his typhus all of his desires all of that food all of the shmori's board in the pesach hotels he's trying to satisfy what people expect of him his imaginary the imaginary expectations of the people of the world is also trying to fulfill his obligations within the terror legion a person tries to compromise and and and get both you can't get both you end up without any levels in the terror he'll spend his entire days all of his life trying to make people happy trying to satisfy them trying to ali they should succeed very concerned about anything that's dirty in his clothes maybe he's got a little stain over here or somewhere else i don't know quick get get more clothes more more things more more uh he's using that as a muscle of course for all of the michigans and all of the foolish things that we excuse ourselves with why we need another thing and another thing and why we need to look good for others yasik assassin in the entire kiss mainly he's busy cleaning off the stains on his clothes but he doesn't clean off the stains on his heart you know that he's busy cleaning off with stains on his clothes but he doesn't bother to clean off the stains on his heart this is the main reason that we're put in this world the main purpose is to have a pure heart he says unbelievable thing and he doesn't say this explicitly but certainly it's clear that this is what's involved in learning doing things with shema it means i'm removing all of those secondary outside motivations all the motivations the honor the money the taiwa all these things that sometimes will motivate me to do what's wrong and of course we take shallower a person excuse me needs shall is my motivation but i have to be striving for greater purity of my heart i have to be striving for greater purity of motivation that's the only way that i can properly guide my mind and my heart my opinions all of the things that you can watch all the things that you can take care of all of the things that you can be worried about this is the most important thing to be worried about humanitarian this is all of the results of a person's life come out of their motivations you can recognize in a person you can observe them for a few minutes sometimes it takes a little longer maybe it's a few days or a few weeks you can observe in their motivation what's it about are they looking for fame are they looking for honor looking for covered what's motivating them you can read it because it comes out and you can see the end of a person's life or in the middle of a person's life after a certain amount of time you can see what started them up and where they where did they get to where did where did their paths lead you can see what happened in the beginning you can see the original thought what their motivations were all along the extent that a person's motivation is pure so the results are more pure results are uh there's sanctification of hashem's name because you see that god is there you see that hashem is in that person you see that a person is not concerned so much about himself and his credit and all these kinds of things but rather you see that the person is concerned about kabush of mine honor of heaven and that's true both in our concept of the shema which is the main thing that he's speaking about but it's also true and one's when it comes to trusting in hashem and knowing that things are going to be right things are going to be good not trying to do everything myself not trying to accomplish everything myself not trying to make every single possibility back up plans upon backup plans so that i will have success so that i'll have what i need but rather trusting in hashem that it's going to be good that kind of focus veering away from all the extra stadliers going away from all of the extra efforts that a person actually wants to do but veering away from them putting our efforts into the shema into doing things for the right reasons listening to that small voice a small voice of motivation being willing to do things without a big payoff if you're listening to my other podcast you keep hearing me say this because so i'm thinking about a lot not doing things that necessarily have the big payoff but trying you know we will we will do those things those things are part of our lives you know hashem a person hopefully gets a lot of knacks from his children a person gets a lot of nachos from his own successes from his own things that he's accomplished that's natural and of course that's part of life those are something that we appreciate and we direct them back and say thank you hashem this is from you that recognition brings it back to that not needing such a strong motivation so that's the thing that we have to work on our faith in hashem are not needing to be good in the eyes of everyone else not needing to plea people please be concerned with what everyone else is going to think but rather to be focused properly what's truly right doing things for that pure motivation because of the shema focusing that way will bring us so much more joy so much more satisfaction in life and bring us to an incredibly great place opens this is a possibility for shlamus for his spiritual greatness i want to remind you he mentioned here again there's nothing like doing this as part of a chevra part of a group it'll be talking group gmail.com you can send an email there find out what it means to be part of a group or we have a few new members there's interest there's nothing like working on this together with others working on medicis working on focusing on vitacon what does it mean to have true faith innako baruch and i invite you to join us and thank you so much for watching we'll see you again next time
