you're listening to the 50th edition of the vitacon podcast and we are going to finish today hashem is safe for basal levy on betahn we're going to begin a new safer a new section in the mirror solution this section is entitled that if a person is a person merits so we can choose what is our alma what do we expend our efforts in where do we have to put in our efforts we speak spoken about be talking about trusting in god which means expending less efforts and but there is a place that a person should expand efforts and that is in torah in service of god and studying his his law iniquity we find a very great principle of the verse says was created for a toil to work the question is what's that work what is it that a person has to work at so if a person is if a person merits again this could mean to choose a person chooses so his work can be in words of torah loser but if not so then he's to work hard in his paranasana creation of the person the human being was created to work to work hard but the person chooses what is it that i choose that is going to be my work what am i going to work hard at what am i going to be involved in tells us the basal labia and incredible you say if you want to have beethoven if you want to have hashem bless you in all of your endeavors what is the way so if you choose that the work that you're going to do instead of being in physical manual labor or in earning a livelihood the work that i do the difficulty that i encounter the the challenges that i face are in torah accepts upon himself the yoke of torah of studying torah so then they removed from him the yoke of the kingdom the kingship and the yoke of work the call of pyric mental terror but someone who takes off the all the yoke you're going to have to work no matter what so you're just taking you're just switching just giving up torah and instead taking upon yourself to have to work hard have a livelihood well it's a different part of the memory we say i'm going to work hard i'm going to res i'm doing something that receives eternal reward we are we are running they're running we're running to the world to come so a person gets to choose what are the things that he's going to involve himself and what are the challenges what is the work that he's going to do okay now i'd like to begin the section of the habit which speaks about bittorrent this is in character edible means not speaking gossip not speaking negative words about other people so you need to know that in order to properly protect yourself from speaking negatively about others so you also have to protect yourself from all types of speech we can't cause something bad to others we can't put down others for example speaking gossip saying over something negative that someone else has said about that person getting into arguments clause cursing abundance upon him embarrassing people of hurting people with words resolution if you want to be able to protect yourself we spoke last time about protecting ourselves from flattery which is also using our speech in a negative way but a person has to have very strong you have to have full faith like he spoke about earlier kids you shouldn't be upset if let's say somebody does something negative to you causes some negative repercussion let's say in your business or in another part of your life someone says la shanhara about you you should look him whatever it is someone does something wrong someone causes you a negative effect okay you shouldn't get upset at it you should if you have be talking you don't get upset about it you realize that everything that happens is from hashem a person wants to get their child into a certain school something happens someone says something negative some for some reason they're they're talking about the person they don't get into that school the child doesn't get into that school you should not be talking you should recognize that it's boroku it is god who wants a child to go to a different school better school the right school for that child person should not speak negatively of that person you should not embarrass that person not curse that person you should trust in hashem will provide him from a different place whatever it is that he lacks whoever places one's faith in god so god protects him in this world and in the next world brings the verse says that when it says tyler whoever makes himself dependent it includes even if these things do not touch upon some spiritual matter because she came in certainly somebody holds himself back from fighting with somebody else from getting into an argument with somebody else someone who had caused him a negative outcome nick which why am i doing it because i don't want it to be hashem i don't want to call somebody else i don't want to create a stir shakira you call this a cosmetic for example he's afraid he won't be able to hold himself back from speaking something in an angry way speaking in an angry way at the time of the judgment when they're when they're in court al-qaeda mid-daysof such a person so he's overcoming his natural inclination such a person is trusting in hashem and asking hashem he's saying hashem i don't want to get in a fight i don't want to bring this person to court i don't want to get i don't want to cr i don't get angry so if a person like that asks hashem for help so certainly hashem is going to provide for him from a different place hashem will certainly protect him in this world you don't lose out by doing what's right says says what is this comparable to the ish to a person whose children are sitting at his table and he gave up portions to each of his kids and one of the children grabbed from his hand let's say rouven is one of the kids moving grabbed from shimon his portion now shimon was like hey you took you took my abortion instead of getting upset he goes over to his father and he says sherman says dad i asked i asked reuven to give me back my portion he grabbed it from me literally he didn't let he didn't want to dash it i know that you don't want us to get in a fight okay please father please give me another portion of now when the father sees that his son has done this so he kisses him and he gives him a larger portion than he originally gave him and he says you my son have found favor in my eyes because of your good media because of your good character trait your foolish brother will hold on to your portion at a different meal i'm going to give you double i'm not going to give him any at all okay so that's exactly the muscle someone who's bote goes to his father we're also supposed to if someone grabs something from us it seems to be it seems to be that they grabbed from us saying that we have to know that they could grab but they're not going to end up getting any more and we're not going to end up getting any less we'll only end up with more if we don't fight if we don't create problems from avatar from days of we give up on our natural inclination avalyama ben and exaliyasa king but if the child who was stolen from doesn't do this instead he fights with his brother yakuza said they and they they strike each other in front of the father she would say he tries to take out what he swallowed actually somebody been on even though it's true the child is right the one who's stolen from is correct still the father is going to be upset if i was going to be sad why are his kids fighting he'll be angry at both of them and they'll say you should have asked me for another portion and i would have given it to you with a tremendous amount of joy i don't want you to fight with each other right in front of me about such silly foolish things says verse says god gives bread to every single to all flesh he's the the father of the people of israel and they are his children we are hashem's children the verse tells us you are children of hashem again god wants us to have peace he doesn't want us to argue my beloved children is there anything that i need that i'm missing that i'm going to ask of you wanting to come what is the one thing that i ask is this i just want you to love each other and to honor each other respect each other don't have any sins don't be stealing don't do negative things to others rozzo right somebody does something negative to your business and you ask him to give back the money he refuses and he prays and he says please god give me a different portion he decides not to fight not to get an argument with his friend this will certainly find favor in god's eyes for this exalted attribute like our sages tell us what does it mean in the verse when it says that god hangs the world on nothingness says the says upon whom is the world extent for whom does the world exist which means nothingness can also mean a person who closes his mouth the shasta meriva at the time of an of an argument that's what it means god hangs the world on nothingness the nothingness is someone who closes his mouth makes himself like nothing because of his hashem person has faith everything that i have is what i'm meant to have if somebody took it away it means i'm not meant to have it incredible thing but if he doesn't do this but rather he fights with his friends constantly a feeling even if he's right this is not going to be something that god appreciates that god finds favor with this just like a father who the children are finding hey you got a bigger piece of cake than me like we said when a person acts this way with his media with his faith in god then he will merit to see the goodness and the kindness of god taste and see that god is good praiseworthy is the one who places his faith in hashem why does it say taste and see this is king david speaking in the psalms in salem park the higher standard this teaches us just like somebody who tastes something with his mouth he can feel the texture he can understand what it is so to somebody who has the who truly has truly has faith in hashem such a person will be able to taste the goodness of hashem taste the sweetness of having hashem in one's life and we have be talking when we have to be talking if we change our ammo our the things that occupy us and and we are working at from being our parnassa from being the mahliksen the arguments that we have with others why because we place our faith in god we place our focus on torah place our focus on learning so if we do such a thing so then indeed we'll have an incredibly sweet life we have a life that god we can see hashem all the time in our lives thanks for listening we'll see you again next time
