he says limits a person is feeling down
because of his what we're calling shame
his shame about what he likes what he's
attracted to yeah right well well like
we explained the chapter 3 when we just
when I talk about Who I am Who I am
means my feelings my emotions what I do
are my behaviors but Who I am that means
the kind of stuff that I like so he said
he's ashamed of that and he's feeling
bad about it so we tell them like this
not only should you not feel bad you
should feel happy why should you feel
happy it's very simple there's a mitzvah
we mentioned this Mitzvah every time we
say SH ma Luisa Soraka laughing laugh I
own a tent my shows Tim's a debacle
adatom
don't go straying after your eyes and
after your heart now that's a mitzvah
that's one of the 613 commandments
specifically it's one of the 365
prohibitions do not go straight after
that stuff that you want in order to
adhere to that prohibition there has to
be stuff that's forbidden they do like
so who is that mix for speaking dude
speaking to somebody who would otherwise
have things that he or she would be
doing except for the fact that Hashem
doesn't want you to do that so every
time you have a desire that is not in
keeping with Hashem swell for you you
have an opportunity to do a mitzvah that
Mitzvah and if you really care so you're
here here's the pertinent one if you
really care about giving a sham with
Hashem wants as opposed to you looking
at your spiritual growth as some type of
personal fulfillment then what what does
it matter to you which means for you do
see if you look at his personal
fulfillment they sell you the you want
to do minsters because you want to grow
because you want to be spiritual you
want to be holy then yeah I guess it's
embarrassing to do the mitzvah of
don't go spraying after your eyes in
your heart that's an embarrassing
Mitzvah I'd rather do more glorious
mitzvahs but if it's about giving Hashem
when ahem once wash I'm just told me one
of the things he wants is that Mitzvah
and in fact if I'm exotic
I can't give us on that Mitzvah
