Bitachon 191 - Be Careful What You Wish

you're listening to the 191st edition of the B podcast and I'd like to take a little bit of a detour from what we've been doing until now we've been learning pum together from tum I'd like to share with you something I learned this past week from my R rabber of Jakob habber every week we learn the sa and I'm B going to put inside of the description on YouTube a link to his Shear which is an extensive Shear very deep has a conversation has a section that speaks about rat speaks about desire and wanting and when we speak about inevitably we have to talk about R we have to talk about wanting because means as the alar of naric explains I want something I completely am confident in kesu that a particular need is going to be given to me that's one way that we could explain and if I have the full ruton they have the full wanting they have the full confidence so then I have a guarantee that K is going to give me the thing that I need the thing that I desire but I learned something last week that blew my mind it really it didn't change anything really but it it's a profound lesson in how to look at those who are succeeding with their what do I mean listen listen up sometimes a person sees clearly is helping you you had you needed a certain thing and it worked the worked which I'm I must say I'm also listening right now to a series of from that he gave about two years ago and there's a section that he's reading that has to do with it's not the general um topic of the particular section of the safer of Madre but there's a section within that section which speaks about and he says he doesn't like to use the words be talking I get what I want it worked I'm sorry he didn't like the words the worked but that's how we talk had my worked so we could say look if my worked so this is very important if my worked so then it proves that I wanted the right thing it proves that I'm doing the right thing says M he says just just because you're having just because God is smiling on you and you're succeeding just because your business has taken a turn for the good just because your enemies seem to be getting defeated it doesn't prove anything it doesn't prove that you're doing what's right says guides you and brings you on the path that you want to go in the way that a person wants to go Hashem or they I don't know who they is they lead him a person is led a person can be having I'm going to get what I want I have powerful ruts on I really want something I want a sports car I want a mansion I want a million dollars I want my song to be a hit and it could work but that doesn't prove that that's the r hasem for you it doesn't prove that you're doing what's right it doesn't prove that the path that you chose is the right path because guess what folks B the way that you already picked Hashem leads you on that path this is a spiritual Foundation this is a spiritual rule if you have real it works you know in the New Age World they talk about uh manifesting and attraction the the secret spoke about this a long time ago like 12 years ago 13 years ago but understand person can have the secret and they can attract and manifest etc etc but that doesn't prove that the thing is good nor that the thing is right he brings a few proofs for this we see examples of this that did want to stop the Reigns El anovi said to aov who was the king at that time who was an idol worshipper there's not going to be rain because you guys are worshiping Idols Hashem didn't really want to prevent for whatever reason obviously hasm has his own hasem has his own calculations but he didn't want to stop the rain from falling for Amel but but Eli did Eli said you're not serving Hashem you're serving Idols no rain so Hashem so to speak let eliahu get away with that and when aov wanted to bring him to justice for causing damage to for preventing the Reigns nevertheless allowed and helped Alo to Super naturally be able to hide from and not be brought to Justice indeed if AK would have caught him he would have convinced and been able to stop ELO from causing the RS to not fall and that's exactly what happens later on we find YH did this with Navi so the na'vi has the power the navi has the power to subvert hashem's will Hashem didn't want the rain not to fall Hashem wanted the rain to fall despite their sins ELO said no the T says the rain doesn't fall through his rut Zone with is saying El was able to perform a miracle even though that's not necessarily hashem's will and he gets hasm covers for him that's why the PK says the tyan is not in heaven which means that we in this world we through our rutson we through our will we through our decisions in our and our is the word that the alter of Nar uses HK means I have an absolute final decision through my as through my decision I can coers Hashem as it were that's how Hashem set up the Bri he set up the world but it doesn't prove that it's right just because hasm is helping me it just proves that I really want it we find in the that was arguing with the with the sages had a particular law particular and he proved it he said if I am right let the wall prove it and and the wall bent if I'm right let the let the tree prove it the fruit tree and everything was everything miraculously was proving that he was right in fact even a voice came down from heaven and said is always like rear said which means when they saw him saying this and creating Miracles they said it's not doesn't prove anything doesn't prove anything because if there's a single single opinion and it's contrasted with the opinion of the many you don't go with the single opinion your opinion is not valid you can't prove anything from a nce from a miracle it's your Ron that's creating the nce you have incredible will and Hashem does your will doesn't prove that that's really the truth or that's really the the will of hem this is also why with the whole story with mosu and kak where mosha said you'll know that I'm right if they die regular death but if hasem creates a new Bri a new creation they don't know that I'm right and then the Earth cracks open swallows them all of that they and their families and all of their possessions fall down into the abyss but am Isel after the story doesn't doesn't uh is not quieted they say you killed them it's a it's aell what do you mean a made a huge Miracle how can you say that you killed killed them even they saw an incredible Miracle excuse me as they were lost as the were lost they still felt that it doesn't prove it it doesn't prove that Moshe and Aon are right all it proves is that mosu has a powerful will all that it proves saidel and we could argue about whether they were right or not but all it proves is that you have a powerful you have a powerful R but it doesn't prove that that's really the ratem okay we take another test to prove it we take another trial to Prove It ultimately what do we see we see something incredible something so important I can be talk can give me what I want but it doesn't prove anything about whether I do what's right whether I'm wanting the right things so does it is it does it does this which is absolutely true and I I feel it I don't know about you we we've been working on here in this series since 2019 so we've been working on now for six years and really I've been hearing from since uh the year 2000 1999 so 25 years 26 years I'm working on this so we have a sense we have a feeling and we know this to be true and you have to look back at all the instance is where your worked where you felt confidence and it worked out for you and you have to say hey was I Really Right was it really correct did I want the right thing so this is a little bit of a shakeup it's a little bit of a shakeup but what do I do with it what do I think about and by the way you might notice I have two swarm here I which is and I have the which is I doesn't seem like I'm not sure if we'll get to it but I have a whole beautiful piece at the end of giml talks about different types of who the is for with without I don't recall if I've read this ever for you guys and if it's not today then it'll be next week but what do we do with this what do we do with this information maybe I'm having maybe it's working but it's wrong so in thinking about this and discussing this with people and trying to understand what it means and what the message is what it means for me and what the message is that before I start V talk before I start I got to make sure that I'm looking for ratem and I can make a m i can make a mistake something that RAB habber said you can have someone who like a billum billum is the source for the con was hired by Bak to curse Isel said don't go don't go with them don't go curse am is is is blessed and nevertheless B goes says Okay Go what is this changes his mind God doesn't change his mind so what was going on what was going on what was going on was that gives a person the ability to go in that way even though it's not his will he doesn't really want billum to go but if billum decides and has full ruts and a full will to go he's going to have to go this is how RAB said it he's going to have the ability to go but it doesn't mean that in the end he's going to be mAh this gets a little fuzzy didn't fully develop this idea I'm not going to get so far into it but what I want to say is that at the very beginning at the very beginning billum should have listened to when hasem says don't go that's theem oh you want to go so badly that doesn't prove and hashm says okay go that still does that doesn't that no longer proves that that's what Hashem wants so before I start before I start having hear this before I start having I need to make sure that my be is for the right thing for the right things I want a successful song I'm a singer I want my song to succeed what are my motivations is it for my honor is it for hashem's Honor Hali is it for my family that I should have parasa what's the motivation if I'm going to have that I'm going to succeed I got to make sure that this is really what hasem wants does Hashem want me to Succeed in Business and be rich and become aush person a person who's completely obsessed with physicality with having a nice house with having nice cars Etc is that what Hashem wants might be what I want I might get that I I must say it's not what I want personally I might get it it might work out I might have but it doesn't prove I got to start at the beginning with my thoughts with my decisions with what I have been talking about and make sure what I have be talking about is what Hashem wants me to do to be to have be talking about it's so essential it's so important it's like you have a power you have a power through your R sign through your will through your desire you tap intoa and we all see it you can look around the world you can see you can see you can see that the that some people have it and it has to do look look at the the incoming president of the United States he has tremendous will tremendous rutson he's a very wealthy person look at the people surrounding him the rich people the billion hundreds of billions of dollars they have why what do they need that money for why do he have so much comes down to R comes down to Russ but it doesn't prove that that person is good or that he's right or that he's good or even that the direction that he's taking on the success that he has doesn't even prove that that's what people need or want or doesn't prove anything all it proves is the guy really wants it he really wants it that's why he asked it's very deep it's very important going in to be I personally have had experiences where I used be talking to get something that it wasn't right this is many years ago I got scared by it I got scared by it I used I had R for a certain thing whatever it was doesn't matter and afterwards I said this is this is dangerous this is dangerous I had seen at the time the the whole idea of the secret and and the manifesting an attraction which I don't suggest looking into I don't suggest it we need to learn it from armis we need to learn about what it means to have we need to understand that it's a power that it's a that it's a uh it's a law embedded into reality and we can't misuse it to be careful not to misuse it we have to be careful to use it correctly have to be careful to search for so many times we've talked about how first before having person needs to be doing the person needs to be aad and we'll see that in next week about who has which kind of we can think about the is the the practical differences what what are the what are the ramifications of it but it's a power we have to make sure we have to come back to and we need to be mes ask people for advice ask people who we respect or Bal we need to be sikim we need to be sikim we need to purify our motives why do I want it why do I want success why do I want be safe okay that I understand why I want to be protected from my enemies that I get but why do I want whatever it is whatever success that I want I want success for my kids I want success for myself I want lots of things I want but why is that really the ratem the wanting that I have is that really hashem's rat when someone has power there's a responsibility to use that power correctly and we who study together we we need to know that we need to be careful to make sure that we are sikim first that we're righteous when I said sikim I don't mean perhaps the huge sikim that we think ofi and Feinstein and whoever it isman sadik that means we are trying to doed which means right righteousness it's got to start off with righteousness it's got to start off with trying to do what's right so that we don't misuse be careful not to misuse that's what we see that's what we learn from rib saduk thank you so much for listening we'll see you again next time
