Ep 05: Don't Beg For Mercy From The Stick That Hit You

[Music] welcome to episode five of our B series we're now in unit five of the book The B now tells us that since we believe that a kadosh is in charge of everything how are we supposed to view when there's a human being that's seemingly controlling another human being and he says we have to view that other human being as a stick as a St in the hand of Hashem and he brings a p where God says a wo ashure Assyria is the staff of my anger so that means even when there are human beings that are attacking other human beings the attacker is nothing more than a stick that's how we have to view it they're nothing more than a stick and therefore he says pleading with the attacker is like a man that's being hit by a stick and he talks to the stick ultimately the stick is not in control it's the person that's hitting of course we have to do our we have to understand that when we're begging and pleading with the traffic officer not to give us a ticket or begging and pleading with the airline uh storus to let us on the plane or all those situations where we're seemingly being controlled by somebody else and we're B begging and pleading for their Mercy their Mercy is not going to make it happen is going to make it happen I'm doing my Loop but I have to realize they're not in charge the G of vilna uses this concept to explain a difficult in where EST is trying to save the Jewish people and she's speaking to after party number one she's in party number two and she's saying my has been sold into captivity they're going to be killed and aash says who is the one who's the one that's doing this who's the culprit and she picks up her finger to point to aash because our rabbis tell us aash who's in this idea with Haman as well and an angel came and pushed her hand towards Hamman how we understand this this is est's chance to save the Jewish people and she's pointing to a g of illness says when she walked in and was pleading with the King like we know the word melik in the in the migas refers to God she was saying please King she's talking to God she was in a prayer service she wasn't talking to when he said please save my people she's talking to God and now she hears a voice that says who is this and she's so entranced and so involved in her prayer it's like she hears a Heavenly Voice who is this and she's about to point to a and sudden the angel comes and moves her hands and wakes her up that she's talking to and she points to ham that's how focused EST was that she knew I'm not talking to akash akash is not in charge it's the real king that's in charge and whenever I'm pleading with someone being controlled by somebody I have to know ultimately it's God that makes the decisions and that's where I put my focus have a wonderful day
