Daily Chidush: Who is the Satan and how can I beat him?

how are you hope you had a great day wanted to answer an amazing question about who the iso what's his story that's the exact words of the question well there are less and less people that believe that the yet actually exist on one end they say no no was the that did it I didn't mean to okay but the 25 years how much at some point you get a beat them that's the reality of the things but yes all of us have the tells us that man is born with just and only during his does he actually get the which is the reason why the is so much stronger during those teenage years because the yet is already a teenager whereas the the good inclination is uh versus the evil inclination the good inclination is so young and so immature so it takes a lot of MIT and a lot of Tor in order for us to beat the but we have to understand in order for us to beat the we have to understand what we're dealing with here tra it says that created the created the evil inclination the evil inclination the Satan and the it the Satan and the angel of death all the same thing and this was created at the beginning of time the first yet was in the serpent in the snake who made the first official sin in history by saying about hem himself now this yet is still here it's not going anywhere until the mashia comes a time that Hashem promises us that he will Slaughter him and remove him from the world but nonetheless until that time the gar asks hem you created this yet that's stronger than all of mankind put together that's smarter than all of mankind put together that's bigger and stronger than all mankind put together and the uh holy books say that yet can reach from the ground all the way to the sky and he's all full of eyes and as a matter of fact the zos says that in order to make the world even the good and the evil even meaning that hem had to create a balance in the world for every good there has to be a bad for every even there has to be a uneven or Plus versus minus so just like Hashem has his holy throne theing he also made one for the so this gives us an understanding of what we're dealing with here it's something big it's something strong it's wiser than you could even imagine so the asks how could we beat such a thing you promised us that you're not going to give us a test that we can't fail but he you gave us the that has all of these qualities that we cannot even compete with the answers I created the but I also created a PO a potion to beat him which called Torah the Torah is the only way one can actually beat yet but before you even get the Torah you have to acknowledge as part of this Torah learning that the does exist so where does the attack us first and for most attacks us in every single thing that's negative someone has anger yet someone is tired yet someone forgets yet someone is inconsiderate comes from yet every single thing that's negative is under the influence of the it's not necessarily that he does it because it's still you have free choice all of us have free choice it's the only thing we have is free choice of whether to fear Hashem or not whether whether we're born or not is not up to us whether we're tall short fat skinny goodlooking ugly male female Rich poor in general most of that with the exception of fat and skinny because some people people overeat none of that is actually up to us so in essence whether we sin or not is up to us but the yet the evil inclination is always going to influence us to do something against the tah because that is the mission that hasem gave him in order to give this world of balance the reward for committing the smallest Mitzvah the smallest one pick the smallest Mitzvah you can possibly think of is worth more than all of the money that ever existed put together smallest Mitzvah so with such a reward one must understand that there has to be some type of risk and that's why the smallest sin is a very very big problem nonetheless the evil inclination has to remind us that we have to stick to T we have to consistently use this potion and part of learning T is learning who we're up against you can never beat your competition on a regular basis unless you know who you're dealing with if you underestimate your competition you lost before you even started the game if you see yourself waking up in a bad mood every day just remember thank youm for returning my soul because just moments ago I was dead and the is trying to make me forget it so the first thing we say is we thank hem that he brought us n back to our bodies and focus on the gratefulness that we're supposed to have versus the bad mood that we're waking up with if you see yourself getting angry very quickly look at what you're getting angry at is what you're getting angry at really worth it do you know that being angry is like drinking poison but expecting the other guy to die it makes no sense why get angry because the wants you to get angry because if you get angry according to the ramban who wrote in the letter that he wrote to his sadik son all types of Gom control him when someone gets angry the worst mid and all types of gome control him so what does it mean all types of gome control him every single moment a person commits a Mitzvah they create themselves an angel an Angel that's going to influence them for good that's going to protect them but as we said everything has to be even on an even playing field every time one makes a sin he creates himself a bad Angel and that bad angel will drag him down and try to influence him and overpower him to make even more sense which means when a small little discussion gets out of hand and someone says an off comment and curses the other person that's one sin when that one sin is committed that person already has lost control and then it becomes another curse and another yell and the next thing you know all types of Gan are controlling him this is the reason why we have to be very very careful with anger very very careful when we're fighting against the yet and Hashem told us exactly how if you read my Torah on a day-to-day basis like you're commanded to anyway you're commanded it's not a hobby to learn Torah it's it's not a side project to learn Torah the fact that you're listening to this video right now to this audio right now is learning Torah there's all types of all forms of learning Tor you could listen to audio of Torah you could watch a video of Torah you can go to a lecture of Tor you could read a book but you have to learn tah every single day and you have to make time to learn t as RAB FR said in a lecture that we just published this morning one of the main questions they ask somebody after they die is did you make time to learn Torah permanent time you have to make some type of time during the day and some type of time at night Hashem is not telling you this because he needs your Torah Hashem is telling you this because he knows that you need this Torah so in order for us to battle this huge huge evil inclination we have to first start with learning tah but some of us can't learn as much to as we would like we like it we enjoy it we love it but our evil inclination is too strong at this point the amount of sins we've made in our life has built something called kipot which is in essence literally translates to peel that is covering our soul so in order for us to learn to we have to first unpeel ourselves unpeel this sin so we read a we open a book you know before we read the book If we were reading the newspaper we could read the newspaper for five hours because the doesn't care about you reading the newspaper he doesn't care about you watching TV he wants you to watch TV he wants you to work for him he wants you to watch all the immodesty he wants you to watch and waste your life with sports he wants you to play video games and card games and all those things because that's in essence that's what he wants you to do that's his job but on the other hand if you open a seph Tora in the beginning if you were like me when I first started my chuva five minutes sleeping not sleeping the whole day couldn't even go to sleep if I wanted to but if I open a seph t or go to a lecture 5 minutes fall asleep why cuz so many sins that we consumed and AC fired unfortunately throughout our lives without knowledge so at the beginning you have to fight it learn that 5 minutes that five minutes is taking off one thick peel the next thing you know you're going to learn six minutes it's another peel next 10 minutes it's another peel before you know it you're able to learn comfortably for a half hour next thing you know an hour and much much more but the only way to to get that is to unpeel these sins by fighting hard against the just like you fight for any promotion for any contract or anything that you want material in this world you have to fight for your you have to fight the with this potion that Hashem gave you there is also another secret there's also another way to fight the yet in such a way that you are literally destroying him and you're going to be able to start instead of just learning to off five minutes and take a while until you get to half hour or an hour or two hours you could expedite this whole thing there was one time a major Sage that everyone knows about page says that used to rebuke the Sinners so the yet came to him and wanted to taunt him so one day pretended you know pretended to be a pretty woman that was something that Rim was not able to understand something beyond anything normal and this pretty woman was on the other side of the lake lost control that momentarily and started going towards the other side of the Lake and at that moment the Pretty Woman showed herself as the yet himself and the Satan said if they didn't say in Sham in heaven be careful of RAB this Torah is very precious to us I would Slaughter you right now for this sin you were about to make there a similar story in the same page 81 about AKA also again almost fell for a pretty woman something that is not pretty like we think in this world but pretty something that's Heavenly these were not normal people and they were not ordinarily people that would even look at women but the yet wanted to show them who they're messing with but also the value of their Tah and right before sinned the exposed himself and said if they didn't say in sh how valuable your Torah Isa I would Slaughter you right now for the sin you about to make so now this answers the same thing I already said for the past 15 minutes Torah what's the difference in the Torah of Anda and the Torah that we talked about for the first 15 minutes and chapter 5 Section 21 it says says whoever influences the masses to become meritorious to do chuva shall not be the cause of sin but one who influences the masses to sin will not be given the means to repent this mishna is a [Music] lifechanger if you look at the details here the mishna explains the G in K the reason why RAB AKA and rabes were not like us we're not allowed to fail when we have a test we fail someone sees whether it's a female or it's a money or it's possibility to do something bad and against AEM sometimes we fail unfortunately but hasem did not let and fail they were able to fail their free choice failed and they were about to make a sin but he did not let them make he did not let them fail why because he wrote it in his Torah someone who a someone who influences the public to do chuva I don't let him fail I don't let the sin come in his hand I'll test him but I won't let him officially sin whereas someone who does the opposite someone who tells people no no come with me to the beach on Shabbat no come with me to the club and see modest women come with me do all of these things that person that influenced people to make sins what type of problems he's setting himself up to but we'll talk about the first part how can we do this not everyone can give lectures not everyone can do shim but everyone can do K everyone can contribute to help whether it is supporting someone that's doing K like many of you are already doing thank you very much or whether it is actually being proactive yourself set up shim in your community bring a good Rabbi to speak and tell you about things that are relevant to life M even if it's hard to hear don't learn about it and things that are not relevant to your life learn about things that are relevant to your life the stuff that pinches your heart set up the lectures if setting up lectures is not enough or you can't do it support some discs get some discs we're setting up a uh disc drive coming up later this week within the next couple of days we're going to be printing our first set of CDs anyone that wants to support it is more than welcome to it's only $1 per CD and it's we're going to swamp the world with the CD we'll do a chuva Revolution you all can be partners each person that contributes a CD and someone does a chuva it goes into your account my friends every mitvah that they will ever do every Mitzvah that they ever contribute to goes into your account you officially become a partner in kiru you contribute to CDs you give someone if you the CD cost a dollar you give it to him next thing you know he watches it he does chuva you bought yourself the next World if you can't do a CD you don't have money you don't feel like it you don't believe it whatever the reason is whatever the yet is going to convince you is true to you it's going to be true so I got something easier for you this is the same thing that I said to the talim in the in Nat Israel says someone who learns Tor and does not teach does not share it is like someone who does not have a god you learn Torah you watch the video for five minutes you listen to this clip for 20 minutes you watch the rabbi mrai or Rabbi klon or Rabbi zamir Cohen or perhaps one of my shim online be a good Jew be a good Gentile take the link copy and paste it all over Facebook all over Twitter all over social media send it on text spread it around the world 5 minutes a day find a clip that you've watched find something that you've watched and spread it amongst the world show the world the Torah for five minutes a day five minutes a day of K can get you into a situation where just like this m says no sin will come to him why because if he cares enough to save my children I'll care enough to save him when the time comes thank you for learning with me and mayem continue to bless you call to
