first of all
David
says can be translated as against me
that my sin constantly comes to go
against me or L is in front of me if you
have your your sin in front of you all
the time it's like a little kid that
gets burned you just show him the fire
uh oh no you know or a bully comes once
and hits him he sees that guy he crosses
the street if you put you always
remember oh this is the danger zone that
I don't want to get to so in kind of a
way you kind of can forget the sin it's
still in your mind but if you're talking
about that you saw a certain thing you
did CH then you D and this thought comes
up in your
mind a this is kind of a good sign
because because the will only come to
disturb you when you're doing good if
you're not ding good if you're not
praying good that's will leave you alone
cuz you're not you're not benefiting
anything
huh sikim is sikim we're not
sikim we're people and
unfortunately from what you said before
when a person doesn't a there's explains
there three levels there
three and says that we have to come here
with in reincarnations at least three
times to do all the in
so a person can be a good it doesn't
have to be necessarily A that comes down
to the world could just be that he's
missing so half the you have to do but
the certain you have to
do now the problem is that if a person
Pam makes a
blemish that's when it will come back to
you let's say when you down these are
all
the that come so if a person just to
give you this example looked at the
wrong place so first of all the the eyes
went to the wrong place now there's not
necessarily A here but in he also Pam he
also blemished in the so he doesn't look
anywhere in that place anymore so in the
M's he he done his Chua but
in maybe so maybe he didn't do cha in
the level of Mak and he still has it in
his thought and then Le is still on the
thought yeah but then you can say that's
Heart Like tempting him and like put
another test in front of him exactly
like how does actually like understand
that if the person does a real good CH
then at some point even in it's not
going to come that's how you say a sad
he will come to a level that he already
killed the and then he doesn't have it
coming to the you give it you gave it
information is a computer you feed it
information it comes and spits it back
at you h seems like first everybody
start for sure in most cases in but a
lot of is in there's
no yeah but also for
example it can be in but it can also be
in and it can be you can also think
huh you see a person suffering and you
have a thought wow I'm I'm going to go
and help him
in everything you can do almost in all
three in you can you can look at a
person Shalom and look and to judge that
person look look what he's doing he's
such a rash you you that
person he did it in his mind he didn't
say anything he just thought oh look at
this guy oh look how he's doing this and
this you know what I mean a person can
do and the person can do the same thing
the
so for example it's aah how do you
do you think you know you can say it in
in in words you can do you can do in
action in almost anything you can do
the of course is the
highest highest M and it's the I don't
know how you say Ro
maybe no red is like maybe the not layer
but it's is like the thinnest layer so
the is the worst so people say oh I can
do aam in my mouth or with my
ACT is much
worse if a person thinks oh I want to do
this he didn't say anything he didn't do
anything he just thought oh I want to do
this the is worse than the actual M why
because theam that happens is in a much
higher
mad yeah we're talking right now more in
PR
so when you're saying how can you get
rid of it either you your Chua has to be
so refined chuva is not just one time
that's it you have to like you said
always comes and you don't know actually
accepted so if you want to be Kad then
you segregate yourself and you say I I I
don't want to deal with it I'm going to
go and sit an AA all day long it's not
then you have to live in in this world
so you have to know when to have put
your heads down and when to put a filter
on your eyes and if you and if you can't
control it then you you have to deal
with it but the thing is if you're
looking here okay you look back nothing
happened the the a starts igniting when
you start toiling about what you're
looking at that's when the a starts
cooking so you know if you look in the
street and you see something T and you
right away move your face okay nothing
happened you move here okay so you move
here so okay it's it's not impossible
possible it's not that you drive like
that you know there's a lot of other
people I also drive out in the world and
I know what to look at and what not to
look at and if you move your head and
you're standing in the middle of my head
and and something standing in front of
you that you don't want to look at so
you look this way nothing happen it
takes literally a split second to move
down your eyes so if you saw something t
for a split second yes it will come back
to your so if you so want to make
yourself kados then don't put yourself
out there in the world but the thing is
that Hashem da can put you in the world
cuz you have to deal with the world so
you need to have the right tools that's
why it's important that especially AAL
es that goes out to the world and deals
with people and goes out to like you
said Queens in the summer so study good
in the morning study an hour in the
morning because when you study an hour
in the morning and you refine your n
first thing in the morning and right
away you pray with a minan and you put F
in the whole thing and two hours in on
the way to go into pray and to go oh I
don't know where you I don't know where
you live but uh you know if you want to
D at like let's say 8:00 right that's
when everybody goes to work okay so look
down for five minutes it's not so
hard you know the all the the of the all
the the these tricky things of theer
is's going to bring you to be like oh I
can't walk here and I can't do this no
it's just the driving you crazy but if
you're saying you know I live in this
world this world is full of too much
you know I'm going to giving yourself a
lency where you putting yourself there's
the even like thear face that guy's rash
one that puts himself in the case where
oh there's like a shortcut and he goes
and there's laundry and he's like oh I'm
going to close my eyes that's the same
thing that's a person that's putting
himself in the yar's hand so that's why
my for you is if you are already in the
level that you aware of that so move to
a neighborhood when the in 8:00 in the
morning you're not going to have a
problem and if
if you already got to the level that
this is bothering you then you move to a
neighborhood that you're not going to
have the Temptations and you pray early
in the morning and you put yourself in a
situation like a alcoholic doesn't go to
a bar so if a person has an issue with
alcohol if he walks into the bar he's
going to end up taking a drink so if a
person knows he has a weakness for
alcohol don't go into the bar so if a
person has a weakness here so live your
live in a neighborhood that you know
going to have Temptation that you're not
going to have to make the shortcut to
look at the women who washing the the
clothes it all depends you
know if you want to walk in a Place full
of so if if you already got to the level
of such Holiness go move to I don't know
mo to mon move to a place that you know
this H Lakewood that you say okay I'm
I'm like this and the women are snot I
don't have to deal with this and I don't
have to see this and I don't have to see
that and I find a job you know a kosher
job I can find a job that there's just
men there or whatever it all depends how
it's important to you when for me
something is important to me so I put
myself like you say I don't put myself
in a situation that I'm going to have an
issue with I'm going to I'm going to
work it to put myself in a situation
that it would be easy for me to serve
AEM when a person wants to to to to walk
in this holy path that's where hem will
help you to go if you say Hashem please
help me I want to live in a nice you
know neighborhood that is Holy and I
want to have a good job that I don't
have to deal with the you know this and
this and this Hashem will help you don't
worry if you tell hem with your words
this is what I want H will help you but
if you say AEM oh I like living in
Queens action and all this so hasm tells
this is why you want to live so deal
with it it's very easy you you kind of
can control what you're getting exposed
to exactly like if a person has a
weakness to alcohol don't go to a bar
cuz there's probably going to be a
problem and you're probably going to end
up drinking and if a person has a
problem with gambling don't go into a
casino so if a person has a problem with
this don't don't yeah the Torah teaches
us yeah like put you in a situation
where let's say a person doesn't want to
go to a bar yeah but not in a bar
then who like a person oh I know I heard
person
into a situation where look the is
constantly going to come and knock on
your door if you think you're going to
get rid of your I don't know the will
constantly come and knock on your door
and to annoy you why you think he wants
you to he doesn't want you to do mitv
now if you fall to the Temptation then
you lost to the if you smart then you
say okay I know it's the right now and
I'm not going to listen to it but the
doesn't doesn't leave you till you go
till the last day unless you're sadik
and you kill your your will come to
bother you when you're 70 years
old so you know there's many there's
many stories in thear there's one t who
says don't don't put me next to my to my
daughter-in-law they told him your
daughter-in-law you're like this old man
why you have even the concept of even
maybe thinking of looking at the
daughter-in-law and if so you're this
old man you think she's going to even go
with you I don't want to even put don't
even put me next maybe will be even the
of maybe I'll
Doom so if you want to make sure that
you're good then
you that they're putting they're even
thinking about the fact of like oh don't
even put me there because maybe
something Happ is that like how do we
how do we look at that from which
standpoint do we look at that we're
we're we're not say I don't think we're
in the level of theim to worry about
that and I wouldn't call anyone here a r
the thing thing is that you have to do
your to put yourself in the right place
to focus that your your main focus is in
if you're doing everything how you're
supposed to do you're going to have less
problems to deal to deal with if you
constantly going to put yourself in
different situations then you have to
deal because everything that your eyes
see even for a split second I told you
is like a hard drive you give it
information it goes into your to your
brain so it might not it might come when
you pray it will come when you sleep it
will come when you're not thinking
that's why Tor teaches uses you have to
make yourself holy you have to to to
sanctify yourself and how do you do that
you you you live in the right place you
eat the right things you learn Torah
that's why I said before you have to
learn at least at least two hours a day
Tor because then you have you have your
has a lot of power if you learn 20
minutes and between us the 20 minutes is
half of the time you're checking your
message your emails this is not and then
what happens is that the whole day you
don't have so
any
any thought from the will straight away
come like a wave you know take you away
but if you study a lot of Tor you know
says I I created the but I also created
the spice the the the thing to fight it
and this is Torah study Torah and an
hour two three a day I promise you
you're going to have much less issues
with your
