from the that talks about the investment
of this world famous mshall and I want
to apply it to that every time you d
you're investing in something so much
greater so there was once a country
and the country had a very interesting
custom and that was that every year they
would hold elections to appoint a new
king a new meal to come to the country
and to rule the country but the people
that were that were eligible for this
position were only foreigners only
people from out of the country, from out
of town.
And when they voted this king in they
didn't tell him a very important piece
of information and that is that the
position was only for one year. Yeah.
One year you could do whatever you want.
You have unlimited access. You are the
king of our country. And then after that
year, you have to leave the country
empty-handed just like you came. Okay?
So now most often the king would invest.
He became king. The first time he's a
foreigner comes to a country and then he
becomes king. Wow. So he invests in
building himself beautiful palaces. Some
of them even trans say in the m some of
them even transfer all of their
possessions from elsewhere into this
country
and they invest a whole year giving
their all their sweat their blood
everything into building and investing
in the here in the now. And then what
happens? And then they break the news to
him after a year that by the way you
need to leave now. It's over. You was
only king for one year and you're not
allowed to take anything with you.
audience
obviously the person is devastated and
poor right in he regrets a lot of the
things that he did if he would have made
a different type of he could have done
it a much better thing however one time
there was one king who discovered the
secret so what did he do immediately he
began sending anything any anything
sending everything and anything that was
valuable out of the country he sent it
to his bank account in uh over there
yeah over there in another country
started investing over there sending
everything he didn't waste any time
seeking honor and prestige in the
country he's in now no he said I'm going
to send everything out because he knew
that there's only for one year why would
I invest my whole life and everything in
this year if I'm going to be leaving
after let me send everything out and
what happened when he left after the
year he was a rich man he came to the
other country where he sent all his
stuff they couldn't touch that palace
and boats and cars and what not
rabbi said this is a mushel says the
this is a mushel for this world. A
person who focuses on making his world,
his life in this world comfortable and
he's so focused on the gosh on the now
and he prepares nothing for after his
time is going to you know end up with
for after his time at the end of 2020
120 years then he's going to end up with
nothing. Anything that really counts
he's not going to have because he never
invested in that. He leaves with nothing
and he regrets all of the time wasted on
just the temporary things.
A smart person on the other hand uses
his time to guarantee a future. I'm
going to do many mitzvah. I'm going to
learn. I'm going to give I'm going to
connect with a whenever I can like this
forever forever and when I'm going to
leave this world I'm going to leave a
rich man. Rabbi said this applies to
every mitzvah but imagine every
single every time that you daven that's
an investment besides the connection you
have in this world besides the good
feeling you have now you're literally
preparing you're investing for the
afterlife you're investing for your
eternity
everything the same thing the same thing
making with kavana benching with kavana
every single thing that you do in this
world
it's an investment for later. That's
being smart. That's sending all of your
good stuff up there. I'm not going to
waste my time here because I'm not here
forever. I'm here for a very short time.
Just like that smart king Rab said, we
have to be that smart king. We got to do
that. And every single Udavin
is part of that. It's part of that
investment.
