Orchos Chaim of the Rosh #66 - Be Humble Like Dust To Everyone

this torah class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay good afternoon everyone we continue in the orchestrime of the rush just a reminder bezos hashem next week we're going to be switching the time to 5 pm so thank you everyone for joining us and again next week 5 p.m we're up to iceberg 66 altis goya al-abrious do not be arrogant over our people the tia that everybody steps on be like dust that everyone steps on now the we know that the rush already warned us about gaiva in fact if you go back to the beginning of the safer the opening comments of the rush to distance yourself from gaiva with the epitome of distancing so what's the rush adding here that not to be arrogant over people and to be humble of spirit so clearly what the rush is saying says of goldberg is that one has to ensure that the gaiva that is not present in one's interactions with people in other words the humility needs to extend to one's uh interpersonal relationships to be like dirt and dust that everyone steps on knee cites that which we say dab it in chamois in aravind afternoon the gemara says if a person makes himself like a row that everyone steps on one's learning will be maintained in their in their mind and also aleph to be like the threshold that everyone steps on and like a peg that everyone hangs their stuff on so that means that the uh encouragement of humility applies to every person to everyone one should be like dust to everyone without any exception as the ramban says that when i asked moshe to lead the jewish people adam and sorry send the one you usually send but the ramban interprets send anybody anyone but me anyone is more suitable and suited than me as ramban writes in his letter and many wonder how is it possible to consider oneself lower than anybody there are some people you know they they just they seem to be more hush than others some people seem to be lower than others so in the payrosh e untfila he brings that one should genuinely consider others on a higher level greater than they are and if you wonder how that's possible he's an amma artist i do mid-choice he is involved in javeli how could i think he's better than me so the ian fila says that we know people are governed by their makeup by what their material is made out of by their use their message by their usoidois we know that before you saw dose of matter which is adama ruach mayam and afar in other words there are the four you soy dose of matter there's earth wind water and fire ish ruach and they cause different makeups and different natures and different personalities and some people are more uh inclined toward acting properly and being ballet and being balay midos and other people are less predisposed some people have an easier time being good than others and therefore when you look at your friend you should recognize that it's very possible that the little that he does with the makeup that he's given is possibly much more valuable in the eyes of hashem than what you do with the makeup that you're given maybe it's you're more predisposed to do the right thing then your friend is in fact the ian fila says that it's possible that gamma fi osha may be based on what god has meted out to you you haven't even fulfilled half of what you're able to and your friend which is who has achieved much less maybe he has accomplished much more relative to what he's been dished out than you have and in fact ian fila learns that this is shot in the gemara the gemara says that david was greater than sha'al khashol had a very good nature he was predisposed to good he was like one year old who never sinned and david was admoni he was red he was fiery and therefore shall did one avera but he could not recover from it and david committed two sins and the ulsalay why because david was greater relative to the makeup that he had than shaa was relative the makeup that he was given now regarding the media of humility rav goldberg cites a story brought in the safer sarasota said over by rabbi avram the son of the gra that the gura was always pain that he did not reach the level of humility of a certain rav we know that the guru would prov gullus he would go out into exile and one time he was learning at the base madrish and in the evening the rub came over to him and invited him for supper and then it be it was very late at night and the girl went to lie down and the rub offered him a certain blanket and this blanket was made out of a warm garment from the oyroy's sheepskin and the uh was concerned for the sheet of the rambam that we don't possibly like that maybe sheepskin has a shotness in it and the gra let's sort of let the blanket slip off him and every few moments the rav was learning there he sees the blanket on the floor he gets up and he p he picks it up and he covers the gras and it happened again and again and again and after a while the rub said you know kindly it's a little bit disturbing to me could you just try to make sure your blanket doesn't keep falling off and the grudge just whispered shatness ladas harambam and the girl said oh oh the shandness you're worried about shannon says oh okay i understand then the rev went and he got him a different blanket and the girl his whole life was was pain that he didn't reach to madriga of humility of this rav here he had this unknown guest who has this red seemingly ludicrous khumra and the until the rav knew figured out that this was a great talmud but he figured the person just had some ridiculous khumra and still didn't startle him it didn't rattle him he said oh that's your humra and he went to get him a different blanket and it didn't it didn't bother him rav goldberg cites an incredible comment of rob schleimer al-khabits when we talk about a person should be like dust that everyone steps on he quotes gracious what's the analogy to dust we know dust when it's thick it doesn't work when it's fine and ground it's much better so too a person should be like dust that the more a person is macabre the zionists the better off he is roshan al-khabib says we should learn humility from god because on this very day that we read about in the parasha that the vineyard said they made the and they basically ditched the revina shalilam what'd the ribanusham do on that day um god fed them the man so the jewish people said we don't need you god and god still fed them and sustained them and supported them that is the humility of akadesh baruch and that says rob shama al-khabib is the meda of enoch allah be like a doormat that everybody steps on and the the more you allow people to step on you the better it is for you in the shama okay that concludes next week we go back to 5 p.m see everybody tonight we have an amazing share if you were there
