Bitachon 59 - Hope Breeds Hope

listening to the 59th edition of the betahn podcast we continue he says as follows this is a very important thing we find a concept for example mitsuhis mitzvah one commandment causes another commandment one good deed deserves another says there are beneyon we find a similar concept when it comes to be talking if i strengthen might be talking that gives me more of an ability to strengthen my talking like we saw hashem strengthen your heart so he's going to say something even deeper on a certain sense let's see what he says it strengthens itself it's a self-perpetuating type of feeling ad kika tikra fatsara to the point that if a difficult situation comes close the ira mahava naisov and he's afraid what if i don't deserve to be saved what if i don't deserve for god to help me. the fear will not be on equal footing with his hope meaning his hope will be greater and stronger the hope will be stronger than the fear and this is something that we spoke about last week which is that the kindness of hashem is much stronger than any sin i've done anything wrong and my fear says to me god is not going to want to help me because i don't deserve it that kind of thought don't have to worry about that because if i strengthen myself properly if it comes out i might be talking and my confidence in hashem's kindness as we saw hashem's kindness is is much greater with islamic love and so god will redeem us of all of our sins so yes hashem's strength hashem's i'm sorry his kindness is much stronger than any sin alcohol hashem has compassion on us not if we're just going about ignoring the things that we've done wrong of course but hashem has compassion on us when we admit we've done something wrong and we are asking for hashem's compassion and mercy enamored says in yale chapter 2 verse 13 hashem is compassionate he is kind right he has mercy upon us he has he has compassion upon us as we said but he says what's the shot in the passage in the verse when it says hope to hashem strengthen your heart and hope to hashem what does it mean just having hope doesn't have to be a logical hope but just having hope just hoping to hashem hashem hope to hashem that strengthens my heart knowing that it's possible to have hope and i strengthen my heart through this hope it self-perpetuates as we said it strengthens itself i strengthen my tikvah i have hope no there is hope yes there's hope and it makes the the hope stronger when a person gives into his soft heartedness which means weakness of the heart which means i i don't think it's going to be given to my fear when i give in to my fear that's what could potentially happen forbid cause of everything i fear to happen the da you should know that you know this is the very highest tier when we want if you want to talk about levels of italki you want to talk about levels of faith in hashem of confidence and hashem this is the very highest binascu and rabbinian says i want to give you the secret or the essence of the matter it says i hope to hashem the hope of my soul what is the concept of a hope of my soul perish the soul which desires to have confidence the soul it's a piece of hashem it knows what it looks like it knows what god looks like as it were it knows the confidence that there is in that highest highest place my the essence of who i am the yi is kappa of hashem the creation of hashem the soul that's imbued inside of me it knows the truth my soul knows the truth because it it knows that it can depend it's interesting the word samakh i looked up the puzzle it's in gimbal it's worth looking at isaiah chapter 26 verse 3 it's means the person knows it can depend the human being at his essence knows he can depend on god that's the essence of who we are but i would also say perhaps it's theirs but i would say the word samakh also means to depend i'm sorry besides meaning depend it also means it's next to this means to depend and it also means to place two things next to each other like when you lean on somebody else you're next to them right if i know that i can depend on hashem i know he's right next to me i know hashem is right there with me he says those who are deep will understand this hashem says i hope to hashem with the hope of my soul it's in tulum in psalm chapter 1 30 verse 5. and then the next second verse 6 says hashem ishmael baker sharma boycott my soul is unto god are waiting the morning i'm waiting for that i'm waiting for the for the morning when the sun rises where god's light is again in the world where god's hand is again shown in my life personally nationally so so that's the idea that's the he says atik which means that i i'm not sure exactly what he means but perhaps you could say it means that it's my hope in the details it's my hope that god will take care of all of the details for me the second level the second level when it comes to speaking about says he must run efficient it's when a person is willing to give up his soul for god or it doesn't have to literally mean sacrifice in my life it can mean sacrificing my money it means that i'm willing to give something up for god if the government passes says in in leviticus and perhaps base post a soul will come close right it's an idea when i bring a sacrifice i'm going to bring a corbon i'm giving up something of myself when i give up something of myself i'm coming close to god says until to you hashem i will raise up my soul says there as well the next verse god has trusted in you let me hear in the morning your kindness the end of the puzzle i will place my soul in your hands right which means an aspect of mysteriousness let's see we'll see excuse me we'll see exactly what that means but i'm willing to give myself over to you god you redeemed me you are the god of truth what does it mean giving up one soul or sacrificing for god in the context of gimbal show me your wig monster romano asks hashem home show me your way show me the way that you want me to go you know i express i'm not interested in my own way right one aspect i'll be talking which is very high level is where i believe that things are going to be good the way i believe that they're going to be but another aspect of it is saying you know however you want to go whatever you want it to be that's going to be good for me and however you want me to go whatever you want me to do that's what i'm going to be interested in another brings along the same lines into him in psalm chapter 143 verse 8 show me this path that i may go says king david the and a person needs to remind himself and needs to be aware and know remind himself and be aware and know that every single thing that god does is for the good everything that hashem does is for my ultimate benefit as i say just say it's a famous story there will be a kiva bikiva went to a particular city and he was looking for a place to stay nobody would let him stay and ended up staying outside of the city and then he was staying outside the city he had his donkey he had his lamp and a rooster donkey died the rooster died the lamp went out each time he said that everything that god does for me is good everything that god does to me is good he kept saying that in the morning it turned out that the robbers had come sheida had come and killed all the inhabitants of that city they would have seen him or heard a dunky brain or heard a rooster crow they would have come and gotten him as well but that's an obvious case uh you know but he said that before with myself he said before he knew what was going on each time he kept saying the top of it obviously very high level exalted level of tana he give it the bomb sarah but he was the person who could see the base of english destroyed and he was able to say that he could still see the future you could see the big picture and that's you need to learn from kabbalah a person needs to accept upon himself all that comes his way and he needs to know you should keep the person is accepted with love and recognize the thing that's going on in his life the challenge this difficult situation whatever it may be somehow it's for his good and it will atone for his sins and this situation it's more to his advantage that than now which he wishes he wants a particular thing what's a particular outcome but it doesn't seem to be what hashem is giving him and this person this bobby takan reminds himself everything that happens is for my good everything that happens is for my good ki a person doesn't really know what's good for himself okay with that we complete this particular section which is in rabbini on michele in chapter 3 verses 25 and 26 and then he has here another section which will start on other verses elsewhere in michele the hope of the righteous is is for joy is joyous but the hope of the wicked is to be lost so what does this first mean it's in chapter 10 verse 28 of of proverbs we find that when it comes to the concept excuse me when it comes to the concept of desiring wealth and honor pasik says king king solomon tells us later on in islam when you want something and you continue to want that thing and you continue to want that thing it's a heart sickness it gives it makes a person heart sick the righteous their desire right it says they want they want to have they want to have something what do they want because whatever it is that's the right thing to want right because it brings about joy when it comes to the righteous the thing that they want does not give them any heart sickness it says in isaiah chapter 51 verse 3 they will find great rejoicing is talking about the times of the age of the messiah they're not interested in having their own power they're not interested in having whatever it is that they want to accomplish be success be successful for its own sake they do not depend on their own wisdom and understanding which is another verse in michelle which we spoke about previously hashem what is their tachelos what do they want what is their accomplishment in life their accomplishment that they're looking for they're looking for the rahm hashem for the compassion of god okay so that kind of hoping that does not breed heart sickness you won't be disappointed with that hoping think about it also just from a very simple perspective if i'm hoping to get what i want so then i can be disappointed i don't get what i want it takes a long time to get what i want to be disappointed but if what i want is i want what hashem wants from me i want hashem so that's that's natural hashem who wants to be hashem wants to be compassionate on me very interesting they're not worried they don't have worry in their continued wanting their continued desire cannot diagnose they're not they're not worried that they might not have a little bit because even a little bit of hashem a little bit of fear of heaven that sadiq knows that that is very powerful and that is very valuable so they feel rich with a small amount of what they're looking for beautiful words they're happy at all times because they're able to value what is it that they value what is it they they receive what is it that they attain they attain the fact that they appreciate what is it that they want they appreciate that they want to come close to god and they're hoping for their hashem's kindness so it's an incredible joy you're in a state to be talking it's it's like it's very interesting never thought about it this way but it's very interesting and beautiful what am i going for and be talking what am i trying to get here this is robinhood i'm trying to get a little bit a little bit more i'm trying to reach the highest level i'll be talking today not even tomorrow maybe not even next week or next year if i can get a little bit more i'll be talking a little bit more years shmaim a little bit more fear of having a little more confidence in god and his kindness that's it we're talking now we're talking the longer it takes for them to get what they desire they appreciate the process they love the work they're involved in i'm working on my relationship with hashem i'm trying to be greater trying to to get god's kindness i'm trying to more and more it's not it's not a the fact that i haven't yet reached that highest level it's not a problem it's great i'm still on the path i'm still working towards it they enjoy the service of hashem they're trying they're working with with hope and with pitakan and hashem us we can also explain what is this idea of tachelos of hoping right we said that when a person has an extended desire so it's it's painful it's it hurts my heart it doesn't apply to the saddle he craves the righteous one the one who's involved in trying to have it doesn't ever feel like it's not going to come it doesn't ever feel like it's too far away the salvation he always feels like no it's here already the bobby talking envisions himself with that which she believes god is going to give him i already feel like i have it i don't have the money in my pocket we spoke about this in the altar of the verdict the person must be talking it's more batuach than the money in his pocket that he has right now because the money in his pocket could get stolen but the but the talking that he has he knows for sure it's going to happen that's how real with the bitcoin is it's not a tachelos that i feel like it's going to come it's not going to come i already know i have it it's a different kind of feeling and this same person even if he doesn't get what he would like from god as it were is this is such an important point we've spoken about this but it's worth reinforcing if i don't get what i want out of might be talking i should i'd be talking shaman's going to give me a certain thing hashem is going to give me the money for my mortgage the full amount or whatever the money i owe somebody or whatever it is when i want it exactly et cetera it doesn't come but i still am i'm still developing my relationship with shame even if hashem says no i still need to be talking and work i might be talking am i going to be disappointed i might be disappointed but i'm still in this relationship with god i'm developing my relationship with him so it gives me tremendous it's it's a it raises me up it's it's it's it's a very powerful thing to be involved in this work such a person is surrounded by kindness surrounded by a sense of satisfaction but i sense i'm doing things right i'm i'm in this world i'm trying i'm trying i think but it's the opposite when it comes to the hope of the of the wicked the hedera and shimakawa because the wicked they don't if they don't get what they want they're lost in sahara some they don't get any they don't get any reward for their hoping right because they didn't trust the salvation of god but if we work on our vital even if we don't get what we think we need or what we think we we want whatever it is but we get that we we have the wanting we have the tikvah we have the bitaken we have the trust in hashem that itself has changed us that itself stands for us we get sky for that we are different people we get rewarded for that in shaman heaven in this world we walk around with a with a confidence walk around with with without anxiety without worry because we know that hashem is with us and he's going to continue to be with us that's what we have for today thank you so much for listening see you again next time
