The Country That Worshipped Billionaires: The Master of Prayer Part 2 - Rabbi Lazer Brody

[music] B Hashem. Tonight we're learning the second lesson of Master of Prayer. And I always try to review the beginning of the lessons uh to get everyone gets on the same page. It's going to take us about seven lessons to finish Master of Prayer. So the review at the end might be a little bit challenging because every time the review gets a little bit shorter, but what you could do if you have time, go back and see the whole lesson, the whole part one. So imagine a country that glorifies wealth. That's tonight's lesson. Tonight's lesson, the country of wealth. And these people, people in this country, they have these different gods. And the gods have names like uh Warren Buffett and Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. These are so billionaires. They worship billionaires. But they have other idols too. They have movie idols and sports idols. So what they do is they create their own human constellations, human stars. They have movie stars and sports stars and all stars. This is this all they have this whole religion of idolatry that all follows in money. This Rabbi Nakman saw everything that was going on. He saw this 200 years ago more than 220 years ago when he when he wrote this. Rabbi Nakman left us uh 215 years ago and he wrote this about 220 years ago. But Rabbi Nakman is as if the saddic of the generation is on a high high mountain. I can see far into the distance and it's far into the into the time distance the time element distance far into the future. So we're not continuing with the master of prayer and many people consider this reb's finest tale. A lot of the imagery is very heavy coalistic and it has lots of esoteric uh references to Torah. I'm not use translating it and interpreting it this the story uh more or less the way Reb said of the world as see today our simple understanding a simple understanding the world today and what is going to happen before Msiah comes okay so this is Rabbi is talking about uh the lies of this world the follyies of this world the myths of this world and what we need for global rectification the final rectification so first let's review part One, the master of prayer was a righteous man who devoted his life to serving the Almighty. And he spent his days in seclusion, praying and singing songs of praise to the Almighty. And he engaged constantly in spiritual growth. But much more than his concern for himself and his own spiritual growth was concern for other people. And he had such cared about other people. He cared that other people should know that they have a soul, that they're not just body, they have a soul. So what he did he would go he was out been in the outback he had a little retreat in the wilderness and he would make sorties into the cities into the towns and there he would speak words of spiritual vi spiritual ad arousal and he wouldn't talk to crowds he talk to one person at a time one person at a time was telling us about the the job of the chhattic generation has to is like a shepherd of hashem's flocks and he has to worry about each individual sheep each indiv individual one of Hashem's flex that's we always stress that every single one of us is a unique son a unique daughter of Hashem that you're an only son you're an only daughter because she has no one else like you and that's why Hashem created you unique and that's the signature on your thumb print that nobody else has the same print so more and more people were finding meaning in the master prayer's message so many left their homes to join him out in his spiritual enclave far from settled areas was peace and away from the bustle of the city and the and and and the the hurry of the city and the worry of the city and all the troubles out there. It was peace, just peace. So this exquisite retreat in the wilderness was self-sufficient with an adjacent river and many fruit trees. So they had everything they needed to eat and to drink and to spice themselves. And people were otherwise unconcerned with worldly affairs. They didn't care how they dressed. It wasn't a fashion show out in the wilderness when you're walking in the field, walking by the river and speaking to Hashem. Shem doesn't care how you dress to dress modest. But they would spend time like their master, the master of prayer, their teacher would spend time in exclusive divine service, praying and singing to Shem and learning. Well, in time, the master of prayer made a huge impression in the world because more and more people were coming to him. But not only he but his leading students it was geometrically just didn't add other students. He is he's taught his his leading disciples they themselves went into the towns and the cities to pass on the message of the master of prayer. That's what the master of prayer wanted. Now something we have to understand here. Rabbi Nan is teaching us a lesson. If someone gives you a loan, uh, a monetary loan. If you pay back too much, that's interest. That's forbidden in the Torah. And if you pay back too little, that is, uh, thievery. That's also forbidden to have to pay the exact same thing. But if someone does a favor for you, a spiritual favor. They teach you. They bring you closer to Hashem. You don't have to bring a spiritual favor. You don't have to pay that back. You give it further. In other words, this is something bashem I know but look down the list and many of our our group members that's why we call we call the amuna beam's group leaders our group because they all become leaders themselves they all have their own students they go they go and the students and the students have students the second generation students third generation where do we learn this we learn it from the master of prayer the master of prayer is basically autobiographic of Rabbi Nakman Rabbi Nakman he's the master of prayer he's writing this about himself okay this is uh Uh so in time the master of prayer he made a huge impression on society but when you make a huge impression on society that the evil inclusion doesn't like that they're now we'll soon see the resistance that came to him. So he's bringing people close closer to Hashem learning people didn't realize they thought they were just bodies they thought life was about money going to work eating drinking going to sleep going back to work and so what are you going to work for to make money what are you making money for in order to to eat and drink? I eat and drink because I need Ba to work. It's like chinchilla on the wheel. No sauce of life. No, they work to eat and they eat to work. So this is this is the rat race was taking them out of this vicious cycle of the urban society and taking out where they discover themselves, they discover their souls, where they discover Hashem and develop their own relationship with Hashem. So all of this was becoming so popular. People that were discovering this were loving this. They felt like they were born brand new. You all of a sudden you feel your soul and your soul gets connected to Hashem and you feel such happiness that you can't you go to disch you you here and go to a bar. You get a cheap thrill here and a cheap throw there. But no none of the joy and the satisfaction and inner peace that people are discovering. So all of a sudden this make a big impression all over the all over the country that uh somebody would suddenly disappear from a town, a boy would disappear from a family in a city and someone else disappear and it's all these disappearing people. What's going on? Well, the master of prayer, the word about the master of prayer that he sneaks in town and brings people close to him and they said that he book they they said slander about him that he kidnaps people, he abducts people and takes them out to his retreat. They think this was not all all free. He didn't he didn't coorse anyone. But the master of prayer in time became public enemy number one and the authorities he was the number one wanted individual in the in the entire the the entire continent. Uh so this was everybody tried to catch him. All the authority all the police and the army they tried to catch him but they couldn't because the master of prayer was very clever and very crafty and every time you'd come into a town and every time you talk to someone he had a different disguise. Sometime he looked like a poor becker. Sometime he looked like a nobleman. Sometime he looked like a a merchant. But he never looked the same. And no one said what the description of him. Nobody had a a description. No get a proper description because nobody knew exactly what he looked like. And there was conflicting descriptions. Someone that he spoke to and that didn't succeed in convincing uh they said well maybe he was like they didn't know how to identify him. Why? Because the master pair had something else. When he saw that there was a person that is so far away from his soul and so bodily oriented and so deep in lust that he would stop his message about Hashem and spirituality and start speaking these cryptic things and think about physics or chemistry or politics somewhere and completely confuse the person. They wait a minute you were talking about so no that don't you know what the economy in in Ecuador is like today? They would say all kinds of crazy things and people were confused that he would make them forget them so nobody could identify him and were looking all up and down and around for the master prayer. They wanted to catch him because this is one thing the dark side they don't want Hashem's name to be spread but you could sue you could teach whatever you want but you start teaching amuna you start teaching prayer you're going to have you're going to have resistance. So just like a wanted criminal that all the authorities were seeking. Well, despite his growing community of followers in the wilderness, the master prayer continued to give each one personal attention. He had so many more followers than he had in the beginning. But why did he give each one personal attention? He learned this from Hashem. We just said before, each person is individual. So each person has his or her own mission on earth. And as they have their own mission on earth, they all have their own soul correction. That's why we can't judge another person because the challenges that another person has are not like the challenges we have because we need have challenges in our life for our soul correction. They have challenges and for their soul correction. And that's why the old expression says you can't judge a person until you're wearing his shoes. But nobody can wear another person's shoes because the shoes take on the mold of a person's foot and that's individual. Okay. So now we're going to talk about the second this the second part of the first lesson when we introduce the land of money the country of wealth. Meanwhile there was a country where everything was conducted according to wealth. Stop and think who who this reminds you of. The value of each and every person's status was according to the wealth. Money was not only a lust by them but it was a religion and a way of life. The status of each person was in accordance with the level of income and net wealth. And that's why you couldn't say God in that country. But on the money, you could write in God we trust. [laughter] This is so prophetic. Okay? The richest the this is really really prophetic. The richest people were their gods while the plain people were considered subhuman. And the person had didn't have much money. He was considered a cow or a horse. He had even less money. He was considered a bird and even less money than that, a fish. Even less money than that, he was an insect. And this is all that mattered to them was money. Well, when the master of prayer found out that such country existed, he was really disturbed. And his closest students decided they saw how disturbed their the Rebi was. And your teacher, you have a student and you have your teacher, your spiritual guide. Because a student's soul is connected with the soul of spiritual guide because it's soul nurturing soul. And the spiritual guide, the teacher, he learns more from his students than he learns from anybody else. So his soul's connected to theirs, their soul connected. They're very entwined souls. So you have this entwined soul that uh but there's a a real love affair between students and their teacher. So these uh these disciples they saw how upset the Rebi was when he heard about this country. So they said well we're going to go to that country make the happy we're going to go to the country and see what we could do to rectify it. So they decided that they would go to the country of wealth and they would speak to the people and try and convince them of their folly and show them the nonsense of worshiping and show that that they have a soul and that that there's a Hashem in the world. But uh they tried, nothing helped. No matter how much they talked, these people were so deeply entrenched in money. It was their life. It was their religion. And this what they were connected to. You know you've heard about the the expression of a person marries for wealth. We talked about the souls entwined. A person is supposed to marry to have a connection to the soul. But there the married everything in life was them was a connection of money. Connection of money connection of money. So when the money left no more connection. Uh these people were so sick and lost of money that they decided that the rest of the world is sick. They thought they were healthy. see what a sick person thinks everybody else is sick but he's healthy and they said but other people they don't have money is not a religion by them we can't believe we can't breathe the same air as these people so they decided that they would go someplace way up find the highest mountain range in the world that's way up and not breathe the same air as people down in the ground so maybe they they went to the Alps the Himalayas or somewhere Mount Reeneer who knows where they went but they went to some hard mountain range and they decided to make their own country uh cuz they people that were far away from money impure impure just like we have in in Torah we have ritual purity racial impurity they were rich impure people that if you don't have any money they're impure they decided that they'd build their own kingdom on the high mountains that are higher than the rest of the world so they breathe their own air and not be contaminated by the same air that people breathe down on the and the whole country moved to the mountains, this high mountain range, and they settled there. What they did, they built these tremendous fortifications around the mountains that nobody could get there because uh uh their worst nightmare was that someone would come and steal their money or rob them and take their money. So, they had guards that watched around the clock. Guards guard the clock. That is the end of part one. Now, we now go to part two. So part two we're back on the mountains in the country of wealth to more learn more about the country of wealth and these people up in the mountains they had many many gods and all according to the level of wealth the gods they had hierarchy whether the different each god had hierarchy according to their according to the amount of money they have you go and you look at the list of billionaires they have their list of gods so if this was today they'd have gods that were named Warren Batty and Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates and Elon Musk and they even took a a king that was money oriented their king maybe today the king is very similar to uh an individual that's called Donald Trump and we see Nakman's amazing far-sightedness he didn't see these names but he described them exactly to a tea so since may wealth was the main thing that's all they cared about so much they had great wealth that a person would have a god You can see some of these rich people and they don't have common sense. Maybe they can't tie their shoes. Uh, one of these rich people was in the the White House and the Oval Office and and and put his money feet on on the president's desk. No brains. No brains. And and no, we say in Yiddish Zch that that you have to be before person that first you got to be a you got to be a human being. You got to be a mch that that human being. No, they didn't have any Menchite. They didn't have any. They were not at all like they were they thought they were gods but they were animals that the people they condemned they were worse than the people they condemned. And their first fear was they feared theft. Someone take their money and they feared murder. If somebody murders them, then you're gonna take their money because but then what they'd realize that they were all potential murderers and thieves because when money is their religion, they're all were willing to murder and rob in order to get more money because this money is their religion. This is another expression we have in Yiddish that on top of a of a thief's h head burns a head. So when a a thief, he knows he's a thief and he thinks everybody else is a thief. Okay? So this is what they know. They were willing to murder for money. They were willing to steal for money. They do do everything. So they had guards to make sure because they thought everything everyone else everybody wants was their money. And they could see that these miserly people he say somebody says that they're so worried about their money. Somebody's going to take their money and their money and their money and they don't can't. Meanwhile, they have no enjoyment in life whatsoever. and their false beliefs led them to contradict themselves. They've got guards to protect them from thieves and they themselves are thieves. So what the guards are going to protect them from themselves. They're to protect it from the next door neighbor. Okay? But so they hired people to perfect theft and murder where everyone in their country was a potential thie thie murderer. So in their foolishness they decided oh they need to pray. They need to pray that the gods why they become gods that if the god gave them so much money it means that they're gods too. So they prayed to the gods and they would go to visit their god Jeff Bezos and somebody would sacrifice his son to Jeff Bezos and they would sacrifice people. They would sacrifice even themselves in order to be included in the rich god. And they wanted to be they they added belief that if they sacrifice themselves to one of the rich people then they become reincarnated as the rich person. [laughter] It's crazy. They they even had their own their own uh um idolatry kabala their money idolatry kabala that they they believed in reincarnation but they they wanted to be reincarnated as a rich person. So money was their amuna. This was that just like we have light side Amuna and money is dark side of Buddha. What's the example of dark side of Buddha? For example, we always say in the Gaza war that Israel didn't succeed in defeating Gaza in two years of war for all the sophisticated warfare and all. Why? Because the Hamas has 97 dark side amuna. They have dark side amuna. That's a dark side. It's talked about in this week's Torah portion where Ishmael that is murder. That's this art kamas. They they believe that they're allowed to murder for everything. They're allowed to murder. Rabbi Al is going to talk about them too. We're call we'll see later the country of murder. Talk about them also. Uh but we're not yet there yet. We'll see that maybe in lesson five or six. But in order to defeat someone with 97 dark side amuna, level 97 dark side, you need level 98 light side amuna, the real deal. Well, the country as a whole, the country as a whole is is far away from Torah, far away from Amuna and that's where we're we're a minority over here. And it can see so Hashem is not letting them doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. And if they would understand Hamas is not our enemy. We are our own enemy. Our lack of amuna and all the false beliefs we have in our lives, that's our own enemy. And but the government doesn't understand that and the intelligence doesn't understand that. If they only listen but they don't listen they don't listen and this was the exact same thing that happened reb's generation that the leaders don't listen he knew the truth and truth is right here and we can see the shareb knew the truth told the leaders he said don't do this don't give back a gush katif don't give back a a a single centimeter and don't give into them anything they didn't listen to and so now it's war after war after war but you see the great leaders of our time. Uh the great leaders of our time, [snorts] they again are like standing on a mountain. We're down the valley and they see far off. They see things that we don't see. Okay. But despite the fact that they did devotions, the people in the country of wealth, they had all these prayers and all these devotions. Even human sacrifice to their gods of wealth. Nothing helped. Of course, nothing helped. They still had thievery and they still had murder. Wait a second. Look how contradic they built this fortress up in the mountains at the the several mountain peaks and they put fortifications all around it. Nobody could get in, but they don't understand. They don't even understand that all the theft and murder is coming from them within. And whatever they do, all the guards they put and all the fornications, they try to dig for more fornications. This reminds us that they try to get better weapons, try to get an F-35 and there's going to defeat the F-35 doesn't defeat the enemy. King David defeated the enemy with a slingshot. We see that the the Macabies, they defeated their enemies with with the spear [snorts] they were one one,000th of the size of the enemy and they see but there they keep on going with their folly with their idolatry and keep on going with their idolatrous services or devotions. Despite all this, the country was still full of murder and full of theft. And cuz anybody who didn't believe in their religion, he became a thief. There's all this money up here. That's a thief. They'll they'll steal because they said they could if bunnies have got money, they could do anything. They could buy food. They can buy clothing. And they thought that a root of a person's existence is money. That they thought that soul is made out of money. And the root of a soul is money. And this was their confused thinking. They were really really messed up in the country of wealth. So they made great efforts to protect their body and not to lose it. And they tried to bring in money, try to import money. They tried to bring in money from other places. So they would send out merchants. They would send out traders to go and trade in other countries in order to win money and even bring more money back into the country. You know what the greatest crime was in the country of wealth? Charity. Give away your money. That's like giving away religion. You don't give charity in the country of wealth. No, there's no such thing as seducka. No such thing as charity. This was a crime. If somebody were we we also see that and and Sudum [clears throat] Saddam was where you couldn't give away charity that people were so evil. Uh so it was a great prohibition for them and a big crime because they said how can a person give away the money that god has given you know if it's the real god then the real god gives him money to do good things with. Okay, which this the main thing was to have money and it could go on and on just how how deeply embedded they were in their lust for money. So they had officers, they had like the income tax department, the IRS, and officers that observe that everyone has as much money as they declared because per according to their declaration, that's the level of nobleman or god or constellation or star that they became. And they would have to display their wealth wherever they went. They had to show off their wealth. So the women had to wear all this gold and jewels and men had to show whatever they had to drive Maseratis and things like that in today's terms but they had to do things but there and their age had to gold covered carriages with and and even their horses were full of of jewels and diamonds everything they had to show off their money and flaunt their money and if somebody was caught as a false god who he was prosecuted that he was acting like a billionaire god when he was only a multi-millionaire god. He'd be prosecuted first prosecuted had pay a big fine and then he was knocked down to a lower level. Uh now sometimes you could one thing they had they they had democracy also an animal could become a god and a god become an animal. If an animal made money we're talking about a human animal what they called an animal. If all of a sudden he would make money then he would get a new status. He had his own flag. It has a they each social status whether a person was a nobleman or a god. He would get is dress accordingly and have a flag accordingly and uh they could move up and down their social ladder which the money ladder and that way people could improve themselves or lose their status. So an animal became human and it was all according to money and as they became uh someone lost the money they become a non-god they would have figures what happened they would have figures and portraits of their gods see figures and portrait figures and portraits of their god this their icons their idols their their their stars they would have picture their stars you see they have a a boy have have a picture of his of his idol on the very something very common, okay? Bend these people that had bunch money and they were popular like a movie star that makes a lot of money and everybody had these portraits. They would hug and kiss their portraits because money was their entire devotion and fame and fortune if it brought money then they love fame and fortune too. So the master of prayers people that were previous there in the country they came back to their enclave in the wilderness and they told the master of prayer in detail all about the nonsense of the country how they were so fooled and lost in the craving of money. I know I sound what translating this I sound repetitive but even Rabbi Nakman is even more repetitive than I was that we we tend to say over and over about the fact that they thought they were gods and but that the different the ways they thought they were gods. Okay. So they what the way they had to make their own country and their own they had their own their own stars and their own constellations and that's the the movie stars and the sports stars and the all stars. So when his disciples that went on that that mission to to the country of wealth, they told the master of prayer all about it. He says that's exactly what I was afraid of. It's exactly what I was afraid of. Rabbi Nakman in many of his Torres, Rabi talks about lust. Talks about different types of lust. He talks about lust for food. He talks about lust for debauchery. And he said he can rescue anyone from lust. He says the worst type of lust that is most difficult and he has difficulty rescuing someone from the lust of money. When a person is in lust of money that it could it could do anything. Lust of money leads to idolatry leads to what are you talking about? Leads to mur murder and of course leads you could see someone even someone could be quote religious unquote. And if a person has a lust of money, then the person will break every commerce law in Torah in order to get more money. And you can see this. So it's no guarantee that a person is dressed in religious trappings, orthodox trappings, and then it's no guarantee. So you could tell the real level of amuna that you could tell of a person is about how they conduct their business. And this is what the Gammoran track Shabbat tells us. refer referring to this that when a person leaves this world the first thing he or she is asked did you negotiate fairly now that's a rough translation the garra says did you negotiate in amuna what's it mean negot what does it mean to negotiate in amuna that I'm dealing amuna yeah we do deal amuna we negotiate amuna all the time but negotiating amuna means that I have amuna in hashem's laws I have amun in hem's laws that you can't steal that you can't short change a person, that you can't you must pay a worker on time, you can't withhold a worker's wages, that you can't take interest. All types of we have many many many financial laws and you find out that really meticulous people in their service of Hashem. The first thing they are meticulous in the relationships between man and fellow man because there are two types of commandments between man and Hashem and man and fellow man. Hashem says I can't forgive you for any affront to your fellow human being. So you got to ask him. So it's very we got to be very very careful very very careful in our relationships with other people. And our number one relationship we have daily dayby day is monetary. Pay our bills on time pay back a loan and keep your word keep your word in business and pay your workers on time. Okay. So the master of prayer he says this is everything I feared everything is worst nightmare. this is what's going on in the country of wealth and he had such great pity on them and he decided he's got no choice he personally must go there the master prayer took it was a perilous decision but he decided he personally must go there and he himself it's with all due respect to his disciples really difficult efforts they made valiant efforts to make them return to make them leave uh that come back to to the truth but they were too deep too deeply be involved. So the master of prayer, he made an excursion to the country of wealth and he came to the guards at the bottom of the mountain, the bottom mountain, the bottom of each mountain had guards and guard station. Now we'd think that the guards since they're at the bottom of the mountain and they're breathing the same air we are. These the guards were people that were considered lowly animals, okay? Because a person who was a guy, he wouldn't leave the country, he would leave the upper the upper altitudes and and the air. But these were simple people. Rebi Nakman Reb was 40 and slip the master of prayer. He spoke to the simple people. This was the way of Balto. This was the way of Rebi Nakman. And at the time and when Rebi Nakman lived was from 7 1772 to 1810. Uh most of Eastern European jewelry was really poor and really down and out and many were close to illiterate. They barely knew olive bait because after two or three grades in in the in the school they had to go to work. They had they had to make a living and so they never learned properly. And what they were 2% the sons and sons-in-laws of the high echelon that their fathers and their fathers-in-laws could afford to keep them in learning and in Yeshua learning. So they didn't have to work. They they learn Torah all day long. And so 98% of the people they were impoverished and they were impoverished both spiritually. These are the people that the Balsham's great-grandfather uplifted and this was the whole purpose of the kidic movement to make Torah and Amuna or Galatia. It's for everybody. It's not just for the the upper echelon. And this what Reb continued. So Rabbi Nakman would go to the simple people and speak to the simple people, not to the high brows. He'd let the high brows save them for last. And guess what? Mashiah is going to do the same thing. Mashiah will speak to simple people and the high browsers are going to be last in line. Last in line. Okay. So, uh, so master of prayer. I keep saying it keeps coming out. Reb, that's a master of prayer. Master of prayer decided the guards, these are the best people to speak to because they're the simple people and they're lowest on the on the totem pole. and he tried to speak to these people that uh they were just as good as anyone else and they should stop and consider why why do you look look why you're wonderful people why you're considered lowest on on the low and they said that they were so convinced that they're they're low they're convinced that they're animals they said of course we're low because we don't have money we're animals and that to to Then they said we we're like almost like the rest of the world where we're impure. So that's why we're down here guarding and we're guarding for the great gods the great gods worth the money for the great masters because uh the city where they were very religious and the guards even the guards the guards were religious too even that they had this low status in their guard they had the what we call in in Yiddish a budget their little guard houses. They had pictures of the gods. They had pictures of of Bezos and pictures of Zuckerberg and pictures of of Trump. They all these pictures and their god. They worshiped their gods because the money was the an object of their faith. They were faithful people. You can see this where there are places for example in South America where people don't have what to eat. But you could see that the churches they're full of gold and everything they had everything they would go they bring to the bishops bring to this but yet this was the same thing the same thing. So the master of prayer he came to one of the guards and he began talking about the ultimate purpose in life. He says my friend don't you know what the ultimate purpose in life is said the only ultimate purpose is your soul. You have a soul. You're not a body. You're not an animal. You have a soul and your soul is a tiny part of God and or to nurture your soul and to get close to God. You have to serve God. And you do that by prayer. You do by by good doing good deeds. And he would talk to him and and I mentioned to charity and charity to hear this. They would hear this blasphemy that that this stranger was was speaking blasphemy and they he would tell them money is utter foolishness. What type of foolishness is this? SP he's the guard didn't listen to him. They couldn't listen to him because his religion of money of lust for money was so ingrained in him since he was born and he didn't know anything else. So the master of prayer didn't they tried went to the other guards and talked to them likewise and they made they they didn't listen to him either. Nobody listened to him. So master of prayer made decision they not listen to him. So he has to go up on the mountain and he has to go into the city and do it himself. When he arrived inside the city that was a great surprise and people looked at him they said how did you get in here? All the fortifications they had who knows what they had. They had high walls and and pits and and animals and who know how how did you reach us? So he answered them why do you ask? I'm inside of the city already. So what what do you care about? This is said all there we don't we see that the righteous man who could get back all the follyies all the obstacles. Rabbi Nakma said the obstacles of the the physical world they don't they don't they don't affect the righteous person. They go and get jump over the obstacles. So he began talking with one of the people up one of the citizens one of the citizens already a human up in the world of wealth in the country of wealth that money has no meaning. Money has no purpose as it was his custom and he talk about the true purpose in life but if if down the guards couldn't listen this citizen he couldn't listen at all because he had left him and tried someone else but nobody could listen to him. They were so embedded in their lust for money and their religion. So it's a wonder to people that such a man exists and they should come to him. They should come to their country and speak such blasphemy and speak against their religion and speak against the speak things that complete opposite of their faith. So they finally came to the conclusion, ah this must be the master of prayer that everybody's talking about. This must be him. So they they they wanted to catch him. They they finally realized that this is not just hearsay coming from the other countries that there really is a master prayer in the world because it's already the name became publicized and they used to call him Rabbi has the original in the original Yiddish that he wrote the rest of the story in Yiddish the for that the devout master of prayer but they couldn't catch him because again he would appear different to every person he would appear different to every person and he appeared to a merchant one as a popper and and then he would disappear. What is Rebman teaching us? He just can't resist. We're we're about to to end part two, but Reb is teaching us here. What does it mean when the master of a prayer when master prayer appear different to each person? When Mashiach comes, he's going to appear different to each person. That the spartim are going to say, "He's a sparty." And the converts will say, "He's a convert. He's one of us." said and and the Ashkanazi would say, "No, he's an Ashkanazi." And and the national no he's he's nationalistic. Everyone he's going to look because he knows how to speak to each person. Knows how to speak to person. It's the Noahides. What are you talking about? He's a Noahide. He's for the whole universe that everyone is that's everybody's going to believe in Messiah because Messiah will speak to their soul and tell them how to bring their soul close to Hashem. with this. I want to mention something that a lot of people a lot of people ask me all the time. I get questions every single week from Noahides and they ask me, "Should I convert? Should I convert? Should I convert?" And I've had situations where I try to discourage them and some try to convert and they get disappointed. Then they're they're really disappointed. You have to understand Hashem needs no hides in the world. We call them amuna hides, but Hashem needs them. They have a they have a job that we can't do. They can influence their own country. And this is what Reb is teaching here that the disciples they go back themselves into the town. Well, you know, if if a person for example was Oh, we have people in our group that they left the churches, but they know the language of the church. They know language of the churchgoers. They know language of people. And they could show, hey listen, why not take a look at this book Amuna and the Noahide and see see you could say but just speak a little bit of logic. You speak logic to person right away you could bring them away from all this uh father and son and and holy all this ridiculous things and and the Buddha and the taichi and all kinds of things that people believe in only one God and that's what we spent 15 weeks learning the 13 principal Buuna for. This is exactly for this and this what prepares us that's in a moon hour but it prepares us much better for those that that participate the moon hour lessons to understand Rabbi Nakman's teachings Rabbi Nakman's stories because Rabbi Nakman's stories are all based on Amuna and the teachings of Muna that we teach in Amuna they're all based on Rabbi Nakman's teachings and Reb said he said my fire will burn until Messiah comes and that he meant by that this fire is the teachings of amuna This will bring us to amuna. So we're going to hold up right here. You know everybody should have a wonderful week and all your hearts wishes for the best.
