Investing in Eternity - Rabbi David Biton

[Music] our souls came down to this world for 60 70 80 90 years we came down on the mission down to this world and each and every one of us has a task the question is what is the right outlook that we should look in life in order to fulfill our task down here as long as it live in this world there's a Michelle of a rich man who had 15 million dollars in the bank a seller came over to him and told him I have a property nice big huge piece of land to sell you he told him no problem it's seven million dollars he took out seven million dollars he paid the man cash on the spot his friend told him you just had fifteen million dollars in the bank you're willing to take out seven million dollars and give it to a man to buy a piece of land he told him the story is not over yet give it a few more months a few months later the man sees him going and taking out more money from the bank a couple of more million dollars he starts building buildings he starts building houses on the property that he bought the man tells him what are you doing he says I'm shelling out some more money to build some more buildings so he tells him what's going on originally you started with 15 million dollars in the bank now you down to a couple of million dollars he thousand my good friend I'm an investor I have this money not just to sit in the bank and the point of this money is not just for me to enjoy the money that I put in the bank the point of the money that I have is to make more money to invest the money that I have and to make more money we came down here we have money of life we have the life bank that I Shem gave to us what do we do with our life we can use the life that we have to enjoy simply enjoy the time that our Shem gave us down in this world go after our physical pleasures and enjoy ourselves however the main purpose that were here in this world is to invest we came down here to invest our time where investors down here no llamas in a person down here and all mi Z wakes up early in the morning to serve Hashem he goes to sleep late at night he's serving a Shem he's learning Torah he's trying into his best comes to caught times he buys lulav he buys a hog he buys things that cost a lot of money he's willing to take that money that he has in his bank account and shell it out to let it out rush him I had thousands of dollars in the bank I'm letting it out a person asks what's the purpose tells him I'm investing I'm investing in all I'm a BA I have the present of life I can either choose to use the life to enjoy myself simply to enjoy myself at face value or in order to serve Hashem our purpose in this world is just like that investor that investor had 15 million dollars in the bank in the few months of toil and work he shells out the money he spends it it seems to the onlooker that he's losing money but the smart man knows it seems like I'm losing money but I'm really gaining in the end of the day it seems sometimes that we're using our lives for things that have no gain in the end of the day seemingly down here but we all believe that really the ultimate life is in a llama baa so we invest our time we're makea we invest our time here on a llama Z in order that we reap the eternal benefits and what I'm about [Music] you [Applause]
