Light up the darkness with a small act that will change your life! Watch before Chanuka!! Don't miss

I have mentioned a few weeks ago, specifically right before a certain certain remedy that from till the last night of Kanuka one doesn't complain about anything then says is that that individual will see a big miracle in their life. So you have to not complain from which is three weeks ago by the way uh till the last night of Kanuka. And if the person not only doesn't complain, thanks Hashem for everything all appreciation and that person is guaranteed to see a miracle in their life very fast after. Now I can testify that it works. I do it every year and the same way that every year that I do it the second that you are focused on doing something that's when it becomes hard that's when the says what what what is he doing and then comes all the challenges if you leave the sleeping dogs by themselves they don't bother you but the second that you focus on something Of course, I'm talking about in your spiritual growth, not on a nonsense. You make a change in your mind and you focusing on some act in your spiritual growth. It doesn't matter right now. I'm going to start putting fillin on or I'm going to start doing this mitzvah. Whatever you take on yourself, then right away all the forces will come to make it hard for you to do that mitzvah. On a normal day it would even bother the the yet around you but just because in your mind you're like I want to start doing this then starts coming all the struggles. I know many many people that on their beginning of their path which I was one of them when you don't focus on something it's easy to do. The second that I have decided to stop eating mixing meat and dairy then all the challenges came up until then didn't even bother me. That's what I mean by my spiritual growth that I take on myself a certain decision. Okay, I'm going to do this from now on. I'm going to start praying. I'm going to start learning. It doesn't matter what. I'm going to stop lying, stop cheating. But the second that you put that as a target in Hebrew it's called that I take all my energy and I focus it onto one act that I want to do. Then right in that moment all the opposition will wake up from all directions. Of course approved by the master of the universe. There's a certification at the bottom. Hashem says, "I I approve the challenge because that's really the gauge what you worth. You want a miracle. Let's see what you can do." So, Hashem is not a file. So, he has many ways of making you challenged. And it doesn't matter where it's coming from. You can call it however you want. Woke up the It doesn't matter. It's against you. That's it. So I can tell you that the second that I focus on something comes all the distractions. I see it in my life very clearly. And I gave this example many many times in the past that when I was in the military and some other ex soldiers will understand what I'm saying. When you're in the shooting range, then you're not like just sitting there quietly and aiming and there's they create a lot of distractions around you. And when while you're trying to shoot then the they hit you on the head and hit you on the legs that you you you distract you're not on the you can't focus. Hey, stop. What do you mean stop? You're in the middle of a war. I had a a commander when I was in the in the army that he would uh he had like this little long long long stick with a feather and uh I was I I was a sniper in the army. You go to a a certain core certain training then you go back to your unit. So one of the commanders in the in that course we used to of course practice shooting. He had a long long long stick with a feather and he would just walk around and while you and he would suddenly like tickle your ear like suddenly you shoot the the ceiling. Are you crazy? YOU SHOT THE CEILING. YOU JUST KILLED SOMEBODY ELSE. So in the army training they create a lot of distractions that you let's see if you know how to focus with a lot of noise in the background and when your body is being moved or so when you really want to focus on something starts all the background noises a certain mitzvah a certain good deed a certain sin that you want to stop. It doesn't matter even in what level you're talking the second that you put all your focus I'm going to start and you know what just for the sake of the example it will work in the same way you can eat whatever you want the second you're saying oh I got to lose weight then the appetite starts then the cravings start the whole last half a year didn't crave nothing the second that I'm thinking of oh I need to get in shape then you get what I'm But why am I saying that? Because the second came and I already said okay I I see I see how it worked in previous years. When I come and teach you something it's after I did a test drive. So sure enough you want something bad then you know like uh you tease a animal with some food and you make it come close to you. So I can tell you on my skin from Hashem has been very colorful challenging me to see to what level he can push me then I won't complain because the advice that gives is that if you don't complain for a whole month have you ever tried to do that? I can tell you for a fact, I know that at least 50% of the ones who heard me saying that over and over in the last month, not to complain, failed miserably without even putting too much effort. Another 30% failed miserably but didn't give up so fast. And another 20 are still struggling with it. Now the reality is that you cannot not complain the whole month. You just need to be very aware how it your mind drifts to that point that you are going to complain. And I'll give you a few examples. Don't worry, I'm not going to leave you hanging. I'm I'm the best living example. Let wait till I tell you what I've been through in the last 3 weeks. Anything that can go wrong that will cause a person to complain went wrong. And it's just funny to me. It's just actually funny to see it happening. The second came right away. All the smacks to the flesh. Now naturally when something happens you know even in a very small level you don't even notice that you complain even if you saying ah that's complained technically right or some mosquitoes around you just did three times that's it that's complaining my friend instead of saying thank you Hashem It's so the point is not to uh be disappointed when you fail five times a day cuz you will complain. Hashem will subpoena to you situations for you to complain. The point is to catch yourself while you're complaining and stop relay iss where where are you holding pause everything and then on the spot do your chva that you don't complain and you see what were you about to complain about and I'll give you you know a very random example which happened a few days ago which is you know happens to you 50 times a day I was in a rush to go out somewhere. People are waiting. The second that I need to be somewhere on time and I'm rushing, car keys disappear. Where's my phone? So with that comes in the beginning aggravation and very quickly comes LIKE WHERE'S MY PHONE? I JUST HAD IT HERE A SECOND AGO. And then you know the knock on the door I'm coming and you can't find your keys and THE KNOCK I'M COMING. I said right. Sounds very familiar. So I'm I'm like you. It's not that I'm observing other people and getting my material. I'm the material. So it's exactly the same thing. the other day. I'm rushing and rushing and and the phone is I didn't lose the phone, but the phone is the phone is ringing like die. You know, you want to go crazy sometimes and I sometimes walk with three phones and this and you know as I'm going down. So, I'm holding a bag here and this is here and the cup of coffee like that and where's the keys? Where's the keys? And now I can't put everything down. So, I have to put everything. You have to see that to be entertained. And as all this is, the phone is ringing and my to in in my to can you imagine this situation and then of course they trip on something. My kid left some toy on the floor. Maybe 20 opportunities to get upset. Do do you do you understand where I'm going with this? First of all, you all relate. We're all in the same place. And I gave you the short version of this minor situation. I'm telling you, I'm not just here to make you laugh. That's how it looked. I'm in a rush to go out. And by the way, when I'm pushing the first meeting, all the readings after that get dam pushed. And Davka in the most in the most craziest moment. Then another phone call comes in with another disaster. What? Give me 20 minutes. I'll be in the car. So, it's like a half an hour of juggling a million things at the same time. And by the way, as all this is happening, things fall. You know what I mean? Things drip. The cup of coffee in my hand. Drips. The whole floor is full of coffee. Oh no. I'm going to clean this now. Honey, don't go. You can leave. But I have half a cup of coffee. I wanted a full cup of coffee. I should sometimes have a crew of cameras going around me. I think it's going to be very entertaining to many people. But as this is happening and I be met giving you the short version of the the scene just imagine me going out pressure I'm late every second something else delays me and by the way as I'm running out and all my hands are like this not because my my muscles are cramped because I'm holding 50 things at the same time and I'm brushing and as I'm going out OF THE HOUSE RABBI NEVER. OH, NO. NO, NO, not now. Not now. I CAME ALL THE WAY FROM FRANCE. WE'RE HUGGING AND AND I'm like, I'm so late, you and now's the time for me to tell the person like, no, I'm really late. I can't really talk to you. Bye. No, no, I'll walk with you. I said, walk with me. I'm driving to you alive now. So, that's a normal day of my life. that everything that can possibly drive you nuts happens. And that's why this remedy is that you you're not going to be able to go a whole month without complaining. No chance. Unless you live on some island cushioned from all directions. Everything just falls from the heavens to your mouth. But if you live in a normal life, how can you go through a whole day without meeting situations? And I'm not talking about the type of complaining that you're sitting in your in your living room and you're complaining about nonsense. And I'm not talking about big things because the big things it's very easy to say, okay, I'm going to one month not complain that I'm single or one month I'm not going to complain that my my financial situation is not good. That's also not so easy if you really pay attention because really why would you complain? You know that this remedy should go the whole year. Why would you complain? Why would you bring yourself ever to a place to complain about anything? I'll be rude and tell you I think it's borderline heresy to complain. Complain. God of his way to cater your needs and you complain. I think that if you would now go out of your way to create an environment that will be very comfortable to a guest in your house, food, everything that that person needs, and you run after the person and clean and clean the sheets every day, everything's okay. And imagine how that person complains, "No, no, you know, the egg was a little bit cold. Excuse me. And why is the floor so dirty? What do you mean dirty? I just cleaned it three times. You get upset when somebody doesn't show any appreciation. No. How do you think Hashem feels all day long? You're complaining like a yak. So it's very hard to go through a whole day or whole week or a whole period without complaining. But I just gave you a specific example of type of complaining. Then little things just don't work out and you lose your temper and you lose your patience. Needless to say, not seeing the and everything instead of freaking out. Where's the keys? Then just say, okay, Hashem obviously wants me to be delayed going out of the house, right? Cuz I can't find the keys. It's plus it's one plus one. It's not be don't have to be a genius here. I can't find the keys. Hashem doesn't want me to leave right now the house. He wants me to look for two minutes. Must be that in the great system what's called that millions and millions and millions of details need to work perfectly in conjunction with the others. So sometimes you need to be delayed for 37 seconds because it doesn't fit well in the because if I wouldn't not find the keys in that specific moment which means I would go right that moment out of the house which means that I would go straight into the car and drive so that person that came ALL THE WAY FROM FRANCE wouldn't meet me. Do you understand sometimes how it works? because I will drive off. So, Hashem makes me not find the keys for 30 seconds. So, I'll be delayed so I can bump into somebody. Now, whether I would be delayed for the other stage by traffic or not, it's irrelevant. Hashem will decide how the delay will come. But if I need to be in a certain moment precise on the second then and I'm 30 seconds earlier I need to be delayed somehow and all it takes is a little angel to come to move the keys here. So 30 seconds I'm like that's it. I was delayed now. Now now I'm ready to go out. Now all this for me now you have to see how amazing dash works here for that person if I would leave that's it they came here for a few hours not that it was the planned meeting they just passed by and you it's like how how what are the odds what are the odds I was in a wedding a few days ago this guy comes to me he says you know many times I was invat and I tried to find you and you've now come now you come to me said that's how it works So this scenario is for to see how fast I lose my temper by not finding the keys. By now everything is like it's like this. I'm carrying everything. Now this guy is now telling me by the way just so you know for the record every time I'm late it's because somebody said Rabbi okay no no I'm tell there's no other way and that's the reason a lot of people tell me why were you late because three people in the street said Rabbi Nava what are we gonna do walk with ear muffs like this no offense I would wish to walk in the streets transparent sometimes to walk from here to here half an hour all it takes is a few rabbias no so for me that is Hashem stretching to see let's see when you're going to lose your patience and who is he going to come out on and that's the challenge not to lose okay I complained is to be aware where the test is coming. So you it will trigger a reaction from you and when it triggers a reaction from you that's when you lost the challenge unless the the what it triggered was actually something positive. Now try, you have to try it instead of in the moment where anger arouses because of a situation, try to stop it right there and then let whatever came up come up in something in a different way. Not anger. Now I gave you a very small uh scenario that literally happened to me a few days ago and I didn't tell you 90% of the other details that came all with it. You know, the second that in the month of Kislave came two weeks I can't move my back. Oh, you can't even imagine what pain I have. All day long I'm like and I'm laughing because Davka now in Gizle. Thank you. Thank you. You have back pains all day long. You can play. Oh sh change the to oh thank you thank you. Oh now I feel that I'm alive. So Hashem I'm telling you in the last three weeks everything that can happen goes wrong went wrong. Two weeks I I can barely move. Last few days I'm finally getting some relief. I can walk a little bit. Two weeks ago my front tooth broke. I gave a bite into a sandwich. The whole tooth broke. cracked all the way pain and of course when you need the dentist suddenly he's not available. So Hashem has lined up to me a series of reasons to complain the last three weeks and it's the the in the what's amusing here is to see it. If you're not on top of it, you don't see what's going on. So you get upset or you get angry and you complain. And by the way, feeling feelings of disappointment that you want to give up, that's kind of complaining. The point what Hashem is trying for you to see is the darkness that you are in. If you would be able to have somebody following you with a camera and then you would be able to rewind in certain situations to see how you reacted, you would be embarrassed and shocked to see how you look. It's just that you never saw that. Imagine now you see a video of yourself from an angle how you eat like this. story for the in the dash for the but that's that's how sometimes people look do you look at yourself you see how you look when you eat I mean no offense but I'm just saying mo most people don't know how they look and I'm not going to do other imit putting fingers all sorts of places have somebody film you how you look when you go like this Now imagine Hashem all day long looking and either laughing or crying. But take a stop for a second. Try to bring yourself to the awareness how you look because you look at people all day long and criticize the entire world. Look how he looks. Look how he eats. Look how he's dressed. Look at this. That's most people I know not very few people judging everything like looking at everybody in a positive way not looking at the person like I'm better it takes a it takes a very refined person to look at any individual in front of them see them eye to eye doesn't matter who you are doesn't matter if you're successful you're not successful that takes a lot of work of humility of bringing yourself to a place of anava which is really what what we need to focus on. But most people they don't even notice how they look, how they behave. I mean the the the basic situation and example that that needs to come to awareness is between a husband and wife. You know, you live your life a certain way whatever amount of years and then you just join with this person. That person brings their habits. you bring your habits. Now those habits collide and uh a lot of marriage problems is because the each individual doesn't look at themselves, they look at the other. Why did you leave the dishes in the sink? Why did you leave the clothes on the floor? Why are you doing this and that? Very few in their marriage look in the mirror and say, "Ooh, ooh, I left the floor dirty. Ooh, I I need to clean the shower." Most people in marriages don't look at their faults. They look at the spouse fault and complain all day long. I can't stand it already. Now look at yourself. She's doing the same thing, too. You getting upset from the under on the floor. She's getting upset from the dishes in the in the sink. You're no different. So that's where you can practice first uh e this looking at yourself. Most people don't look at themselves. And the reason I'm saying that yeah I hope you follow every word because it all brings you to the same everything funnels to the same place. The end of the the class you'll put all the dots together. Hashem brings you into a situation and he's pushing all your buttons. By the way, you can blame the you can listen to the people who said to you, "Oh, uh, you know, you did this, so now that is happening to you. You know these annoying people. What are you know, the engineer of the heavenly court? I did this, you did that, now this is happening to me." By the way, anybody tells you that nonsense, you don't have to take that as any reference. Anyone can know why something is happening to blame. Oh, you said this, so you because that this happens to this and and that's most people by the way in what's going on in their mind. Delete that completely. You don't know why things happen. And if you would know, then you wouldn't be sitting in this class or watching a video on YouTube if you're in the level of knowing these things. But we don't know. I can assume I can maybe reverse engineer and try to figure out why something happened. But I know why something happened. But in my beginning on my path, people will tell me something would go wrong. Oh, it's because I mean it's because whether you have a book that says this happened, it's because of that. No, it's because what Hashem wanted to happen, that's what happened. It's not that you I mean you control, but if Hashem wants something to happen, it's not because you did something. It's a chain reaction in some situations. Yes. I mean, one needs to understand you don't get punished by God. Hashem doesn't stand in the heavens with a notebook and says, "WHAT? HE DIDN'T SAY I'm in." That doesn't work like that. That's not how the system works. It's not that some sniper sits in Ganed and says, "I'm waiting for you to say you do a negative act that God, the creator of the world, the designer of the program, told you don't do this act because it will create a s a short circuit in the system." That's it. You didn't listen to the warning. Then you created a problem. So what punishes you is your own act, not God. God engineered a system in the world. And for whatever reason, he created a certain substance, fire. Have you ever touched cold fire? No. Have you ever touched fire that is lukewarm? No. The fire starts at a minimum temperature and that minimum temperature will burn anything that touches it. Right? Can you change that? Can we talk to Albert Einstein and see maybe some physics we can change the heat of the fire? You can control the fire with more air, with more oxygen, whatever. It will make the fire more intense. You can make it stronger which will eventually will raise the temperature. You can play with it a little bit, but you have no control over the fire. You cannot make it that fire now is liquid. Or you cannot make it that the fire now is cold. You can do that with water. Water can be warm. Water can be cold. Who who set up all these rules? The big bang. NASA. No. Hashem created everything with precise rules. Everything is fed from four spiritual elements. Everything has three three aspects of its existence. I mean everything everything is created here with rules. You cannot change these rules. Sometimes God himself bends the rules but never changes the rules. When God do miracles, he doesn't change rules. He uses what he created in a different form. All the miracles in history when God split the sea, nothing changed in the rules of physics to a point that if even today scientists are saying, "Yeah, there was very strong winds and currents and it made sense that it made a wall from the water." No, Hashem to took whatever he existed in the world and he just put a miracle and made the world understand. He didn't make this the the the liquid change. He didn't change something in the All the miracles that Hashem does are what's called they're addressed with the rules of nature. What Hashem does sometimes if he does it he doesn't break the rules he bends the rules that's a miracle that water stand oh that fire doesn't burn or consumes now the best example of course is with Abrao thrown into the fire and the fire doesn't even burn him but I'm sure it happened to you once or twice that you did touch fire nothing happened went through the fire you touched something extreme extremely warm. But if it didn't happen to you, it happened to me that I was like, "Ah, I I didn't even feel the fire." So if Hashem wants to do a miracle, make the fire not hurt you, you will be untouchable. That miracle happened to many, many of our sages in the last few thousands of years. The fire didn't affect them. Water didn't affect them. They just were able to to survive. So I told you with Abraham thrown into the kan into the fire look at Yona fell into the water three days he's under the water whether he had a clinical death or not it's irrelevant he was 300 days under the water and then goes out so the water didn't affect him the air didn't affect so Hashem makes rules and he doesn't breaks them he bends them sometimes and it's not even bending the rules. It's just setting them up in a little bit of a different order. But the rules cannot be broken. Therefore, you you you cannot break these rules. Same thing. You have to follow the rules. So the creator of the world tells you if you put your hand in fire, you will be burnt, right? If you put your finger into the electricity socket, you will be electrocuted. And if you see a huge machine or a big saw, you know, like a carpenter, if you put your hand in there, you won't have a hand. You don't need much warnings with that, right? You need one warning. Okay, I'm not going to put my hand in there because you see the danger and you understand the result, what's going to happen. So, Hashem took a book of rules. It's called the Torah. and all the rules, the manual of the entire world is in that book telling you, don't mix meat and dairy. Not because I'm here to annoy you or to make you go on a diet. The root of each food comes from a different place from the spir. And when you will mix them, you will cause a problem like a short circuit here in the world below which will affect the world above who it would affect you. So I now may had a a cheeseburger. I I I and let's say something happens then who can I blame the cheeseburger? I can only blame myself cuz I was warned and I didn't listen. So I brought on myself the reaction. You can call it a punishment. It's more clearer to call it a reaction to your action. That's it. Walk down the street now and smile to a person. 99% of the situation, the reaction of your action will be a smile back. Hey. Hey. Try it. It works. Go in the street and just wave to somebody. Hey, how are you? Most likely they'll be like, "Hey, I'm good. You now if you want go trying to do this in Israel, it won't work so well. Hey, how are you? Shut it up." So, so but you get a reaction at least. Hey, how are you? But the the fact is you will get the more or less the same reaction of your type of action. You walk into a room all angry, that's the type of reaction you'll pull to you. Because if I walk into a room like a storm and I'm angry, nobody will come and be like, "Hi, how are you? Can I massage your feet? You need to I see you need to relax. You come in angry, the the the the the reaction will be in the same tone. You walk into the house, why is the house a mess? You're not going to be like, "Sorry, honey. I was I I was so busy." You'll be like, "YOU KNOW HOW HARD I WORKED ALL DAY." THEN that's going to be the level the tone here. Now, let's take it to the extreme. Walk down the street and slap somebody in the face. Let's see what reaction you get there. Now, if that person is weaker than you or smaller in size, the reaction will be of course fear of you or shock. But do it to somebody twice your size. Let's see if you can handle the reaction. You most likely won't be able to handle the reaction. And there will be a reaction. So if you are willing to take chance of how the other side will react, go ahead, be reckless, be responsible. But if you are aware that your action will bounce off what you are aiming at and will bounce back at you. You address somebody with anger, you'll probably get anger back. You address somebody with kindness, low tone, being polite, most likely that's going to be the same reaction. Same thing with everything that you do in this world. You do a a negative act, which let's go now to the guide. The guide tells you not to lie and not to kill and not to steal and not to commit adultery and not to slander and not to trash and not to do many things. There's a lot of knots. knots don't 365. Why did I say seven? >> I said 57. >> 365. H >> like the sun. >> Yeah. Yeah. And from each one of them comes another list of don'ts. Half of the Torah is don't. Now you think these don't are to make your life hard or to restrict you in some way or to bring you to a place of of OCD? Why are the mitzvot so hard for you? If the Torah says don't lie, why why why don't you see the reaction? putting your hand into the fire, you see the the reaction. You actually don't see you just common sense. So if you have common sense not to put your hand in fire cuz you know the reaction will burn your hand. Why don't you have the common sense not to lie or to slander? Don't you have that common sense too? That's what I don't understand actually. That's what I don't understand. When I look at people, I mean, I came from the same place. I there's no excuses. I came from a side of being not observant. So, I know what it is to live your life not observant and then to start crossing the bridge. You can't tell me something I don't know. And I don't understand. I never understood. You see, you recognize God. You understand what's going on here. And some things don't scare you. don't make uh sense to you. I don't understand that. I actually don't understand that. How come you are afraid of a physical human being, whether it's a judge, a policeman, or some just another guy that is bullying you, but you're not afraid of how your re your actions will cause some type of a reaction from Hashem or any other spiritual entity to this example. I told you last week when you when you go after your lusts and your desires, you aggravate the you wake up the so so some bully from the street you're afraid to walk up to him because he's screaming and he's big guy him you're afraid of but doing some act that will wake up your that if you see how Yes, looks that you're not afraid of the common sense here doesn't work for most people. That's what drives me nuts. How can you do I don't understand from this you're afraid without even seeing the reaction. From that you're not afraid. Something's not working well in the up there because I don't know. First of all, I can tell you for a fact that most people never read the guide. They know how to criticize the guide, but they never read it. How many people really read the whole Torah? And I'm going to give you a discount. Not the Tanakh, just the the Torah. Not a lot of people. The ones who criticize the Torah never read it. Maybe read the few verses. Whether it's non-Jews or secular Jews or or whatever you want, the ones who complain the most on the Torah actually never read it. You see all the politicians in Israel quoting verses from the Torah on the agenda that serves them, right? that the the like you see the the gay community. Excuse me. You are quoting the same Torah that tells you that you're living a life not the right way. And then you see these left-wing politicians quoting Yeshaya. Excuse me. You quoting? You don't even know who he was. It's not a street. It's a prophet. So, so the ones who criticize the Torah, uh, the never read it even, the more you let, how would I say it? The less you read it, the more ignorant, the more you you will criticize it. The more you read the Torah, the more it makes sense, the more everything is clear, the more you follow it. Therefore, when I see people sinning and I'm when I'm talking more people who are more aware of the Torah and God just proves my point. You didn't read the Torah enough if you still lie and if you still slander and if you still steal and if you still judgmental and if you still jealous and all that. You didn't read enough the Torah, my friend. and you read it maybe like a magazine because if you would read once the entire five books and I'm not going to even put pressure on you and say with commentary I guarantee to you your behavior will be different and I know many people might now raise their hand says but I read the entire five books you are one out of 20% maybe and I'm talking about Not the secular that never read the Torah. Even observant people who grew up observant, I can tell you never read the entire thing the right way. I mean, chapter after chapter, forget about now commentary. No commentary. Just read the Torah. And even if you read it once, you need to read it at least a 100 times minimum before you start understanding what's going on. So how can you complain on the Torah when you didn't really read it or learn it? And if you really read it and really learn it, you won't have any complaints. You will be a Hashem. Smile on your face. Ever Hashem is a servant of the God. smile on the face, never complain, and most likely never sin. Because the same way that you're not going to take now a car and accelerate to 250 kilometers an hour and run into a wall just to see if the airbags will come out or how strong the car is. You wouldn't do such a thing because your basic common sense says I'm going to die. I'm going to wreck the car. It doesn't make s that you're aware not to do. But to go quietly and to spread a lie about another person and spread for a community, that's okay. Ah, sorry. I missed that chapter in the Torah. Do you understand where it doesn't resonate with me? When I see people who are believing in God, pretending lie, cheat, slander, take, manipulate, step all over. So stop pretending. Pim is in a few months, right? It's only kanuka coming. No need to pretend all day long. So what you need to learn from that is how is that affecting you and what you need to take from that. You need to look at yourself like I told you before. Have you ever seen how you look? Most people are not crit how do you say critic? >> Self-critic. >> Huh? >> Self-critical. >> Self-critical. Okay. Okay. Most people are not self-critical. Most people don't look at themselves. They see the faults of everybody else and complain. She's lazy. He's annoying. He's arrogant. Where's the eye? If you want to do she, he he he she he has to be a lot of eyes here. When I come and complain to someone in my life about something that is not acceptable, it's only after I analyze me. I don't complain to most people. So I mainly complain to myself. I look at myself. Now why all this is so important and I hope that you're following every word that I'm saying. It's not that I'm we're just having a chitchat here. The month of is the most darkest month of the year. The earliest Shabbat in the month of Kisv. Okay, maybe in Tibet you still have butish spiritually will be considered the the the possibility of very very big darkness spiritual darkness of course. Usually when there's a very thick darkness it means right after comes the light. That's how God created the world. It's first Hashem created the heaven and the earth, spiritual world, physical world. The land was full of darkness chaos and right after that and Hashem created the light. Basic understanding of the Torah that I said that most people never read. basic understanding of a six-year-old. First came darkness and then came the light. Correct. The land was chaos and there was darkness all you know on the faith fa all over the abyss. But in the beginning is the heavens spiritual world where where we on the lower world was chaos note and then so basic understanding from the text first Hashem created darkness and then he created the Because if he would create the light first, then you might not be able to distinguish between what's the good and the bad. What's the light and the darkness? Because the light will overpower the darkness. So how would you see that there's such an existence of a darkness to differentiate? Because if everything would have uh uh wouldn't have a polarity, we would have an issue with our belief in one God. Everything has to have a polarity. I explained that more in depth last class. But in order for me to understand the existence of good, I need to be acquainted first with the existence of bad. If you would born, if you would be born, take an experiment and take a child and make them born in a perfect environment on a perfect island, perfect weather, no uh uh pollution, nothing ever, everything is clean, everything natural, nothing processed, good diet like a perfect environment. Now see how that person will grow that let's say you don't expose that person to theft to evil to nothing everything the person grows cushioned how would that person come out angry a bitter person no become a normal person so going back to what I was saying the month of Kisv is a month that has the opportunity of very great darkness. Why? Because there's going to come the light right after. When comes a big darkness in your life, it's because light is about to happen right after. If you allow it, you can miss the opportunity. The darkness is really for you the gauge of there's an opportunity waiting. You don't see it right now because it's darkness. But if you're willing to do some actions, the darkness will soon turn to light and an opportunity will come up and a situation in your life that was difficult for a year, two, three years, doesn't matter half your life, one month, the darkness will turn into light. The question is, are you willing to do certain act? Most people they feel the darkness they don't know how to get out of it and they lose the opportunity to bring the light that comes after the darkness. So they miss many opportunities to bring this light into their life. Now how you call the light it doesn't matter. Right now I'm calling it a light but half an hour ago I called it a miracle. So if I need some miracle in my life and it can be shalom health issue, it can be a relationship situation that is very difficult to deal with and I need some miracle to be able to deal with this child or with this whatever and it can be a million things that you need a miracle in your life. You don't have livelihood. You want to get married, can't get pregnant. I need to tell you the list of what miracles people need. You need to figure out what miracles you need in your life. But miracles don't come for free. Now the thing is like this that if you know naturally to completely ignore the darkness in your life and to light up that darkness that by default the reaction of your action will be miraculous. That's basic behavior. That's why I said before the the it's not Hashem that punishes you when you do sins. It's your sins that punish you because you create some reality in the world and now that reality is haunting you. That's it. So if you lie or you slander or you cheat or you do whatever sin, it's not Hashem punishing you now. It's you created with that sin and reality. You brought some energy into the world with your lie, with your jealousy, with your anger. Now you created a spiritual entity that you need to feed. So it will come and bother you. So it's not you're not being punished by the master of the universe. You are being haunted and punished by your own action. Don't do these actions anymore. Then nothing will bother you. Do chuva. You will remove it. be aware of your behavior. I'm telling you from sitting on this side looking this for 20 years. No offense, I find it 1% of my followers and students that they actually do what I'm what I'm saying that they look at themselves. When was the last time you looked at yourself before you judge somebody else which falls perfectly in the month of with the stop complaining because when I somebody bothers me to a place that it brings me to complain then I can easily complain about that individual that individual was irresponsible that individual promised and didn't do that individual said this and that I never look like that at people I'm not judgmental in that respect to other people. I'm always judgmental on myself and when somebody does something negative to me, I don't get angry at that person. I understand that that person right now is a messenger and I need to right away reverse the camera like you have in the smartphones. You have the camera, you press a button, it reverses. Now you look at yourself. Huh? See, you look at the world through the camera looking that way, but just click the button, it switches again. Now you see yourself. Now that most people don't do in reality, that's what most people do. You know, the other day I was at a wedding. Most people take selfies. Why can't you just say, "Excuse me, do you mind taking a picture of me and my lovely wife? Now, every time you take a selfie, the whole face is distorted because, you know, it's not a real good camera. So, suddenly your face is distorted or it's all crooked or you see like half a face, no eye. You know, in my days, it was, "Excuse me, do you mind taking a picture of me?" Remember those days? What's the big deal? So with your camera you're willing to look at yourself but to look at how you behave that you don't know. That's where you fail to look at yourself. Now pay attention because this is where this is where this is the core of the class a your behavior you darkening your world. Don't complain. Don't complain. Most of your issues you you are the designer. You darken your own world. That's how it works. If you want to complain, complain, complain to yourself. More than that, the kadu will create a situation of darkness in your life, which you can now say darkness equals a lack in your life. Lack of money, lack of relationship, lack of some sanity, some peace of mind, lack of good, how do you call it, a house, your residence. So the darkness now can be equal to lack in your life. Bad boss, bad neighbor driving you crazy all day long or whatever situation. Now that's not necessarily something that you create. Although you can attract the the wrong people with your behavior. That's most cases that you with your behavior attract the people that you deserve. You lie a lot. You cheat a lot. You'll attract these people to you. You're kind, you're patient, you're understanding. You'll attract those people. That's why you have people around you, you're not so happy about them. Look at your behavior. They'll look at other people. Constantly look at yourself. Sov will always come in a form of a very thick darkness only implying that there's a great opportunity. Obviously in a few days mystically there's a week to be more precise 8 days that something happens in the universe that this godly light that actually is the power of creation. It's called the oraganuz the light that Hashem created the world with. It's not the light that we see right now. And when I'm saying light I'm not talking about the light of a light bulb and or or the light of the sun. Don't in the light of Hashem. It's not the same light that Hashem created the world with. Different light. >> Excuse me. >> No, no, no, no. I'm not talking about now. The Hashem to create the world used the certain light. >> Now, no, no, no. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about that the tool that Hashem used to create the world. It's almost like what would be the the right example? I mean, anything that you manufacture has to be the right tool for that. It doesn't matter what you manufacture. There's a certain machine or tool that you that you do that. I'll give you an an old version example. You take a piece of wood and you want to carve something out of it. Has to be a tool here. What's the tool? The in Hebrew it's called Mellet. I don't know how you call it in English. Huh? >> Chisel. >> Chisel. Okay. You don't make a a nice artwork with a piece of wood with a screwdriver or with a I don't know what with a fork or with a rake. You need a chisel. That's the tool. And that's the tool that makes that sp certain creation. And that tool can do other things. So the same idea Hashem had a certain tool how he created the world. Now of course yeah we're not going to go now to the whole background of how Hashem created the world. The tool is this a certain light that he used and that light is so powerful that was able to create the world. that specific light, that specific tool. Hashem said, "This is so powerful. I can't just leave it to have it access to anyone." And he hid that light mainly because he saw in the future of all the generations that will be wicked people. And he says the wicked people will damage the light. I'll hide the light. Gnuz means hidden. So that specific tool is hidden till Mashiah will come. Mashiah will reveal this light. You're correct. Every now and then the a little spark of this light is revealed. Shabbat right before Shabbat comes in a little spark of the organ is revealed. That's when the ladies light the candles to grab a little bit of this organ. Now you won't see it with your own eyes unless you are a great sadic. But there are times throughout the year there's this hidden light. And I it's very important that you understand don't imagine a light. Don't imagine some bright candle or some big ca light projector. Okay, not now the time to explain the concept. But don't imagine a physical light. But this organ shines on certain times on comes down to the world huge night for a miracle. Now again, it's it's the same concept, different words. By the way, miracle, godly light. I mean, it's all the same thing. Miracle sounds very like a hallmark. You need a miracle. You know what I mean? Miracle is when God changes the order of the script. That requires a lot of work. Go now to a book or to a movie or anything that has a script. Now change the script. Yeah, but it will affect now a chain reaction. If I change something here, it will affect everything. That is the same thing also as like a as a an a plan of an architect of an engineer. Can you move the wall from here over here? I sure can, but it's going to require work cuz I need to move now the pillars over here. And you know, I have to move some stuff. It can be done, but it requires a lot of work. So a miracle when I'm saying a miracle there's a script in in your life and now the script is being changed you know what it means that the script is being changed it's going to affect many other people here has to now affect many more people now not not only that it takes much more than that but that's why I'm saying miracle it's a nice word I'm saying another word that is not familiar to most people organ the hidden light. If you get some of the hidden light revealed to you, that's that's a miracle. Something will sh something will shift in your life. Now, how does it work? It's very very simple. We are battling the darkness in our life. Everybody's battling that darkness. The darkness is manifested from an exile that is called Galutavan. There are four four exiles that we are aware of that are explained in the second verse of the Torah. Four four types of exiles and is corresponding to the exile that is called Yavan. That's the nation that had the war now in Kanuka. The war I I don't need to give you a Kanuka introduction. the Greek, they came to to to the the nation of Israel not to kill them. It wasn't like Haman that wanted to kill them or par or any other that the the Greek didn't want to kill the Jews. They say we don't want to kill you. We just don't want you to believe in your God. That's it. If you don't believe in your God, if you follow our hashkafa, how we look at the world, then we're good. But if you believe in something that you can't see, then we don't like that. And they brought an entire uh >> hop I I I was about to say philosophy, but it's much more than a philosophy. It's a it's way more the the Greek philosophy is way more than a philosophy. But yeah, they they raped the world with their philosophy. The Greek philosophy that by the way is controlling up until today nothing changed. The Kashm won 2700 years ago the war but the Greek won the war and never never they that never anybody took the title from them by the way. They're holding the title the Greek the Greek philosophy is what's controlling the world right now. It's all about me all about my pleasures. all about beauty of the world. Enjoy the beauty of the world. Eat as much as you can. Tomorrow you're going to die. >> H. >> Yeah. So, and and I mean most people don't realize that the the Greek see in Hebrew it's called yavan. Tabut is the culture. So, philosophy is part of the culture. Most people live their life according to the Greek culture. the fans of sports, whether it's hockey, football, basketball, put now the most genius rabbi in a stadium to teach the secrets of the Torah. There'll be 5,000 people there. Put now two teams fighting against each other. Two billion people are glued to a screen looking at a few men running on a on a grass with a ball. You know what I mean? Bring now a great sadik anywhere in the world. Nobody would look would look like a like nobody would look at him. Bring some NBA player Ronaldo. So the guy knows how to kick a ball. Wow, I wish I was Ronaldo. And that's what everybody's like. And that's one example out of many music, movies, everything. 99% of people in the world are are controlled by the culture of Yavan, the Greek one. That the basics of it, it's all materialism. No God, that's the Greeks. We'll take everything. We'll accept everything. You like men, you're welcome. You like women, you come aboard, too. You like money? We love money. Do you like pleasures? Oh, we'll give you all the pleasures. Do you believe in a god? Yeah. Oh, no, no, no, no. What I can't touch and what I can't see doesn't exist. That's in your brain. Not in our culture. That's what the Greeks came. Katm will accept you. If you disagree, that's what the Greeks came. We don't want Shabbat. We don't want circumcision. We don't want We don't all the stuff that we that doesn't make even make sense. Believe it or not, even though you're wearing a yamaka, there's a very good chance that you are 90 to 99% under the influence of this culture with your yarmaka with believing in God. You're a slave to that culture, slave to materialism, slave to physical pleasures, slave to everything with your tit and your yamaka and your kosher food. That's most people by the way. Now, what would be the results? As I have explained in the last hour, you are the architect of your own issues because you are the one who's doing actions and you bringing on yourself reactions. So you are kind of in charge of the darkness in your life. Now I'm not talking about right now certain aspects of your life that that can be an incarnation that you need to fix a tikun and I'm not talking about right now the actual script of your life. Everybody has to have suffering in to some extent. So a certain suffering in your life and by the way changes to every person but a certain suffering in your life is things that you need to correct from a previous life. No difference in anybody here. That's a certain amount of your baggage. Don't cry. Don't whine. Take it with a smile. You're paying the debts. You are cleaning the slate right now because you came up to the heavens in a different time and they wanted to throw you into the barbecue and you're like, "Please, please, please, I'll do whatever." You started crying like a baby. Begged for your life and they gave you another chance. Okay, we'll reincarnate you in this life again, but you're going to be poor. You're going to be sick. You're going to have problems of heal till tomorrow. Accept. Yeah. Okay. So no, shut up. That's why our sages teach you accept the hardship with love because Hashem is now cleaning the dirt that you wouldn't be able to do that or would take thousands of light years in gon to take all these stains off your so you got incarnated. So shut up with the suffering that you have. That's a certain amount of your suffering. Another amount of it is what Hashem designed in your life. And no such thing that everybody will have a pink life. No such a thing. The resultal says we're all going like on a ferris wheel. At some point, when I'm saying at some point, at some reincarnation, we're all going to be rich. At some incarnation, we're all going to be poor. You're going to go through all the options at some point. That when you come to the heavens, no soul can say, "Oh, that soul had more challenges than me. If I had their challenges, I wouldn't be. By the way, Hashem gives us equally the same challenges, just that it turns around like a ferris wheel. I imagine it like a Japanese restaurant. You ever been to this restaurant? You have like a big round table and you you turn the table and all the dishes turn. That's how I imagine it. One time I have the dish, one time you have the dish. Now, let's switch dishes. So, one time you'll be rich, one time you'll be poor, one time you'll be married, one time you'll be single. When I'm saying one time, I'm talking one lifetime. So all your lives has to be some some challenges. That's your dayto-day. That's your script challenges. Just deal with it. And by the way, that's sometimes your whole life. Some people their challenge is to have a bad marriage and all their life they'll be stuck in a bad marriage. And it's not because of the behavior. It's that's their challenge. The same way that some people have the challenge to lose a child, that's a very very hard challenge for a parent. Some people their whole life gets ruined when they lose a child. Their whole life is ruined and they don't understand. That's the challenge was that was chose for you. For him is divorce. For him is poverty. For you to lose a child. But don't forget that in 300 years ago in a different incarnation that was the different way around. So you probably have tasted of everything. That's why you don't look down at everybody. Don't look to up to up up at too many. Unless you see somebody that was able to overcome things that you haven't, then you have the right to look up at that person. But we have the same challenges over and over and we switch them all the time. Don't complain. just deal with the challenge that that's good for you. That's what Hashem wants you. But then I will take if you if we're cutting it into a pile look the majority of your challenges of the darkness in your life, it's you. You did that with your arrogance, with your jealousy, with your hatred, with everything, with your laziness, with everything. I don't throw responsibility on anything in my life. I don't blame anybody to anything. Blame I I always take the blame. I look where I messed up. I don't blame Oh, because of him this didn't work. No. Therefore, I take responsibility to the darkness in my life. So, I do an action. Something's dark in my life, then increase the light. That's it. You can't fight the darkness. You won't you won't make it. Don't try. I've tried. It doesn't work. And greater men than me tried. Jacobino fought the darkness the whole night. Couldn't couldn't. He was able to hold it, but not to overpower it. So don't try. Why are you trying even? Just dodge the bullet. I explained that last week. Just just move away. So the round the time of will always cater to you great great darkness but comes tells you if you just don't complain throughout this time then you'll ride over the wave and what waits after the wave is the light is a miracle. Now I know miracle might sound like a childish word but you know sometimes when you need it doesn't it's not childish at all when you need a miracle and it comes I don't know how many times it happened to you and how many miracles happened to me my whole life is one big miracle but I can count your miracles every day that I see in front of my eyes and you know what causes the miracle me. I'm the one that can do that. All depends your priority. What are you willing to put on the table? How much do you willing to give to activate a miracle? Now don't think that it's taken from your by the way from your merits. Don't don't say okay I'm going to do now an act and now I'm going to get a miracle and it's going to take off from my merits in the world to come. Has nothing to do with it. The act that you do just allows the light to come in into your world which by default diminishes the darkness and you activated a miracle. You shifted something. You can make a good livelihood. You have a problem with paranas. Do some miraculous act. Do some act of that's what is required. You will bring light into your life and by default the situation will change because most likely you are the one who caused it to start with. Therefore you see that when the great comes with this recommendation don't complain because when you complain it's almost like you making a meal and the whole meal it's disgusting. Why? I put so too much salt. You're the cook. You're complaining about the dish. You're the cook. So why you complaining? When you get to to the point to understand that complaining doesn't achieve anything, just causes problems, then it brings you to awareness to stop when you're about to complain. And I'll and I'll give you an example. I can only give you an example on myself. Two weeks my back I have a lot a lot of pain. Hard for me to walk. Hard I can't even get up. Now it's much better last two days. But that's something minor that can easily drive you crazy to a point of complaining. Can't take it. I very easy to complain in situations like this when you have a lot of pain. When you have a lot of pain for a day, fine, two days, three days, ah, one week die. So I told you, Hashem made sure he's pushing all buttons right after my tooth broke. You know, I had pain I had, my doctor couldn't see me. And the whole time I'm laughing because I see how Hashem wants to see. Let's see if he's gonna complain. Poke him. You know, she is like poking me. He wants to see. You going to complain or you just going to be happy? Now, what's the reverse engineer that I need to do here? That I did something now my back hurts or I did something my my two/3s. First of all, that's what I do by the way. That's what I do all the time. First, you do the first analysis. If my back hurts right away I go and see which part of the back is in the is it in the vertebrae is it in the muscles because you know you do certain act it will affect the body that's that's sickness by the way if you ever wonder why the body becomes sick is because the organ that became sick the light from the nama couldn't penetrate in there so the body becomes sick so if the sickness shalom is here here it doesn't matter I'm telling you don't You you don't have to ask a doctor. I'm telling you what God explains in the Torah. Whatever organ becomes weak and sick is because the light of the nama who looks the same shape of the body doesn't penetrate into that organ or into that part. You know that when you ask doctors up until today, they can't explain to you where cancer cells come from. They don't. They know to explain where and that they multiply. They don't know how to explain where it comes from. Not talking about now saying radiation this. I'm talking about where does it come from? They don't know how to explain that. And the explanation is because the nama is a generator of light. The light is mhat. It's everywhere. It's contained while it's dressed into a that the is dressed into a nephesh. Now the nama is contained so to say the light of the nama is contained. Therefore most of the nishama is not even in the body. It cannot be in the body. You cannot you can't excuse my language. You can't shove it in. It doesn't get in. So a piece of the can be in the body only because it's dressed in a is not wind and then the and the dressed into a nephesh. Now the nephesh already has already the shape of the body. So the nephesh is like this balloon of light in the shape of the body that the nephesh gets dressed into the body 100%. Take now the nephesh out of the body which is equivalent to a person dying. Come back in 3 days. The body looks like a shrunk gray. Not gray. How do you call it? >> Raisin, right? You probably seen two three days the body. Why? The nephish went out. The air went out. So the whole body shrinks. The way you look is how the neffish looks. Your fingerprints, your all the lines on your forehead, face, everything. It's the nephesh, you know, leaning against the body and creating that. That's why a person that has the knowledge looks at your lines and can tell you things about you. Lines on your forehead. We learned here a few years ago in the Zohar. All the lines on the forehead and now knows everything. everything. It tells something about the neph. And it's not because that's how the body looks. It's because the nephish it's almost like you take a you know we were kids we had that thing had a lot a lot of pins and you would put it like on the face and on the other side it looked like the face. That that's the idea. You know what I'm talking about that toy. That's what the neffesh does. It pushes against the body and then you get your look. how the nose look, how the forehead looks, how everything looks. Sometimes I sidetrack. I don't even know how I got to that the nama right now. More interesting is if you following how did I get to the nama right now? Let's see. Quick test. >> Oh, no. No. What you said? We're talking about the life orans. >> Oh, somebody's listening. >> I was talking about how does the body get sick is because when the nama is in the body in every part of the body, if the nama doesn't light right now here, this organ will get sick, weak because there's no light there. How would it affect the organ? So, no light in the finger will cause I don't know a very small reaction. No light in your liver that's going to cause a different problem. That's a vital organ. No light in the heart, no heart, light in your intestines, that's type of organs that will cause serious sickness. No light right now in your finger. So your finger will hurt for a day or it will be numb or you can't bend it or whatever. But the point is sickness is a result of a deficiency of spiritual light in that organ. Therefore whatever sickness the person is bring in the right light into the organ. The person is is is healthy. Now is that how is that called in our language? A miracle right? It's a miracle medical miracle. So just imagine how much darkness you bring into your own life. Introspect, go through yourself and you'll see that you bring a lot of darkness in your life. And in many of the times you have to blame the all the world. Don't ever blame anyone. Look at yourself. I only I I'm I isolate myself from the world when it comes to that type of spiritual work. Never am I looking at somebody else and finding fault in anyone. Not my wife, kids, anyone. I always look only at myself. And that's how you really learn where you are wrong. And of course, you need the combination of the Torah to tell you where to look. To conclude, we are all battling the darkness in our life. And the darkness can come about with a sadness. People are in depressed, sad or or that situation. It can be a sickness. It can be lack of money. It can be a lonely. It can be a million things. But the fact is that you battling with some type of darkness in your life. Now imagine you would take the advice of which means that in the last three weeks you wouldn't be living in darkness, right? Because everything you would be thankful Because what does he say? Don't complain about nothing and be thankful. So I have a back pain. Don't complain. Just be thank you Hashem. A it could have been worse. B I have must have done something that I'm now eating my own medicine. B let me reverse engineer now. Maybe I have done something that I don't know how to do chuva for it. So Hashem So to say in Hebrew we say meal Hashem rolls a situation that will raise a red light in my mind to be like oh maybe that's how Hashem brings you back. If you don't know how to bring yourself back which most people don't know because to bring yourself back your yourself back you need to do what I just been telling you for the last hour. Look at yourself. If you know how to look at yourself, you know how to do chuva. You know how to bring yourself back from the wrong way you went. If you're not following what I'm saying, you went the wrong path. Now you need to back up. Sometimes when you go the wrong path, it's very easy. You turn around the car, you make a U-turn, and you go back. The other day, I went to drop my son off somewhere. I went in head first. I had to go back the whole alley back. There wasn't a place to reverse to to turn around. You know what I'm talking about? Like a culde-sac. I had to reverse back 700 m. So sometimes you go the wrong way. You need to know how to go back. Most people find it very difficult to turn around completely and go back from their wrongdoing. That means apologizing. That's mean admitting. That's that means coming and fixing the situation. That's turning around in my analogy in your oneway wrong path that you're going on. Most people just back up by not continue the confrontation. But when you go down the wrong path, if you don't know how to reverse it and go back yourself and make ends meet and make everything good, then Hashem will make you do that. And then Hashem is going to send to you some challenge and you're going to have to do that. And if you're smart, you will connect the dots and figure it out and repent and do cha and finish with it. Most people don't figure it out and it will come again and again. It's harder, stronger till you get it. So when I have a back pain, first of all, I reverse engineer. What did I do? Must have done something. A I'm taking full responsibility here. Hey, don't complain. Don't complain. It could have been much more than okay. Second of all, I know it sounds stupid and childish. Instead of saying, "Ah, say thank you Hashem," just say, "Thank you, Hashem." The last two weeks, everybody would ask me, "How's your back?" Instead of saying, "It still hurts or it's sore or I can't take it anymore. I can't take it. It hurts me so much." That's the reactions of most people. The reaction has to be back. What's wrong with the back? You said it's been pain. Well, that's that's nothing. Pain is to make you feel alive. If you don't have pain, do you feel alive? Some most people are not there. Some they're How do you say some pe most people are like No. Huh? >> Yeah. Flying in the sky. You need to like wake up. Oh. What? Most people are like that by the way. So a problem happens you reverse engineer. If the problem I broke my tooth right away there was a sin with the mouth. The reaction is coming in the mouth right away. Reverse engineer cheating lying. What what did I do with the mouth? And if I can't find something that I did with the mouth, okay, it could be from 20 years ago, it could be from 30 years ago, could be from a previous incarnation. I never overlook something that happens and where and what and how lower back, upper back, you know, the whole week by my pain went down to my right leg. Okay, I have to start reversing engineering. Why is the right leg, not the right hand and not the left ear? So I do reverse engineer. Why is that the pain? Why is the challenge coming like that? That's now not the class to explain how you reverse engineer. But you need to think with yourself. Everything that happens in my way, I look at myself. What do I need to take? What do I need to improve? Where am I going wrong? It's all lights of Hashem telling you you're not doing that great. Why does tell you not to complain? Because when you complain, you don't focus on the mistakes that you need to learn from. You throw responsibility somewhere else. So if I'm complaining of my back pain, I'm throwing responsibility to Hashem. Hashem, please, my back hurts me so much. I don't do that. I don't say, "Hashem, please, please relieve my back hurts me." And I definitely don't take chemicals that will relieve the pain. That's the ultimate shekel. I don't care how much pain I am in. I will not take pain relief chemicals to relieve the pain because that's shekel. That's numbing the problem. You're ignoring the problem. And if you're asking me, so I should deal with the pain. Yes. Because that's how you're going to learn, my friend. Numbing the pain, you will not learn. You will numb the pain. Numb the situation. No action, no result. I have a headache now. I go and take a Tylenol. What did I do? I only numb the pain by numbing the nerves. That's what it does. Did I solve the problem? No. Why do I have a headache? Well, maybe I'm dehydrated. Maybe I'm under nutrition. Maybe I didn't eat today. Maybe I didn't sleep. Maybe I'm exposed to radiation. Maybe maybe maybe. Why take a Tylenol, you idiot? go figure out what's the problem and reverse it. And many of the times you're dehydrated. Drink two, three cups of water. Put a grain of salt on your tongue before you drink a little bit of lemon in the in the water to alkaline the water. That's it. You'll see the headache is gone in two minutes. Normally, a headache is dirty blood, toxins in the blood. Go to the bathroom. Drink a lot. Cleanse the body. You're taking a Tylenol. You know what you just did? You just did mute. The video is running. No sound. You muted the video, you idiot. Excuse me. That's what I'm how I'm saying that, but I don't I I actually don't get it. It's almost like having a cut on my hand. I take a Tylenol. What? Stop the bleeding. So if there's a pain go see why the pain is coming why treat it 90% of the times you don't need to treat it with all the chemicals that the world caters to you a little change in you the discomfort and the pain will go away. So when you're complaining on something, you're not overseeing why are you in pain. That's why tells you don't complain. Stop. I know you all failed. You don't have to look at me like I I was able not to complain. Everybody fails in me, including me. But you know where I don't fail is that I know how to catch it the second that it comes out of my mouth. Why? To be able to stop and see. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why am I complaining? And I reverse engineer the situation. And I find very quickly, A, there's no point of complaining. B, thank you, Hashem, for helping me because you're helping me. A, remove dirt from my soul because of my sins. And if I need to do chuva and I don't know what to do, chuva, and suddenly I get a certain pain. Ah, now I remember. Hashem uses these things to point out where you need to banner yourself. So now comes the ultimate solution. Next week is Kanuka. Sunday night. Kanuka is my favorite holiday. Favorite holiday. Not because I like the donuts. Because what you can achieve. What you can achieve in Kanuka. I don't think you can do it throughout the the year so easily and you don't need to do much by the way now I'm not talking right now about the lighting of the and the kanukia that I gave enough classes go and watch them and I highly actually highly highly recommend the we prepared a page on my website atmood.organuka for/anuka. Go, you have to go to this page. You have to see every video on this page and read whatever and not miss one thing because there's a lot of prayers to do during Kanuka and you don't want to miss it. You want to do it precisely how it needs to be done and you have everything written for you on the website. You don't have to do nothing. just click a button because when you light the the certain prayers that you need to say in a certain order takes to normal readers half an hour slow readers two hours but you want to be at least half an hour next to the candles and not on your phone by the way don't invite your phone to the kanuka candle lighting please because you're going to check it >> huh Everything >> bring what? >> Print everything. >> First of all, you can print everything. Second of all, everything that you need to do is in an every it doesn't have it in the Ashkenazi or but take us not it's in exactly what you need to read. It's not that I'm some hocus pocus here. it's in the okay so I added a few things based on you know some great teachings of Kabala but it's it's in the sidu so it's not so hard to find but if you want to have the prayers and it's on your phone which I know many have it when I if you can physically not bring the phone ad if better if you have the prayers on the phone don't don't spend that time on Instagram Instagram, Tik Tok, Facebook, the half an hour you might want to be minimum next to the candles. Silence. You look at the candles. If you can look just at the candles for half an hour, every time you look in the wrong direction, every time you judge a person with your eyes, every time you damage anything with your eyes, looking at the candle will will fix it. That's very very difficult, especially for men. Men look at not nice places, immodest places and that it ruins the damage in I don't remember who quoted that but he said that the pain the soul experiences when I look at something immodest, if I look at a naked woman in an immodest way, the pain my soul feels is equivalent that if you Take now a needle and poke somebody in the eye. Can you imagine the pain and not only poking like what we say in our language? Put the needle all the way in. Can you imagine the pain? That's what the nama feels when you're looking in something inappropriate and then you wonder why you have problems in your life. Now the nama doesn't say I but it will affect you that pain. So looking at the candles cures the eyes and women need it too. Even though they don't necessarily have that problem looking in in modest places, but they also need that too. They also look highly recommend just to look at the candles for half an hour and go look at all my videos and learn it yourself how you light, where you light, what you need to do. Wax, oil. Don't do wax. Wax is not the right way. You do it with oil. Pure olive oil. Wax is for the where they do in the mall or for little kids. Don't do with the wax. Follow the rules how you need to. Do it the right way. You you you will light up your world. You can't even imagine how you're going to light up your world if you do kanuka the right way. By the way, that's why where all the miracles come from. And it's not that you brought in some uh you just brought light into your life. You brought light into your life. By default, everything will get fixed miraculously. You understand that? It's a very simple equation. You create darkness, deal with the issues, push away the darkness, invite a lot of light, the issues will take care of themselves, and you'll be able to title it as a miracle. The more you put, the more you give, that's what you're going to take out. That's it. You want a big miracle, a lifechanging miracle, then you need to do actions that will invite that light. That's it. Very simple math. Now, I have one trick how I do the whole thing. And I taught that many times, but I'll teach you again because I apply and then I see how it works. I like to invite miracles into my life. Just yesterday, a big miracle happened. There was a big problem which I don't like say I talk I by the way a lot of the times I talk your language in my life there's no problems if I would talk to myself right now I would wouldn't say there was a big problem okay I would say there was a great challenge but to speak your language I had a big problem big problems needs big solutions Right? Like any individual, I turned to solution number one. Didn't work. I turned to option number two. That didn't work either. When solution number three didn't work, then most people, that's when they start getting angry, disappointed, lose faith, freaking out. What's going on? Now, the more it goes, the more the solution doesn't come. I'm not talking about that you you're missing an ingredient for your cake and it the solution is to go to the store. I'm talking that you have some type of situation in your life that you will title as a big problem right now and you don't have a solution right now. You're like what it can come money. I need money right now. Somebody called me the other day I need 25,000 shekels. I said, "Okay, give me a few days." He says, "I need it now." I says, "I don't have it now. I can arrange it in a few days." I need it now. In 2 hours, I lost the opportunity. Some things need to be dealt on the spot, not in a few days. So, I had a problem. Okay? Solutions didn't come. a normal individual, that's where they lose their faith. That's where they I don't know if it's true to say that's where they freak out. That's where the ground is shaking. They lose their stability. >> Equilibrium. >> H >> equilibrium. >> Equilibrium. Can't sleep well at night. Can't fall asleep. That problem is like don't eat well. I can't eat now. I'm talking big problem right now. Okay, that's how most people behave. So I don't go to the problem. For me, going to the problem is jumping in the fire. Going to fight something that I can't fight. That's going head head first. The right way is not to look for a solution. The right way is to bend down and then the solution comes. Therefore, the major act in the holiday of Kanuka is to >> please answer that I see that you're listening. >> Oh wow. >> What's the main thing I need to do in Kanuka? >> It's dark. >> What is the main thing? And especially not saying a mitzvah. What it is a mitzvah? What is the main thing I need to do on >> light? Right. What are you talking to me right now? I need to this. I need to that. Why you being so sophisticated? >> Way beyond that. Get a kanukia. Put it next to the window. Put the olive oil. Light the kanukia. That's the main thing I need to do, not to go buy suanot. Suanot is donuts. It's an idiot that invented that. You know, it's theim that invented that. It has nothing to do with the Torah or anything cabalist nothing. The suot why >> why >> why they invented that. I'll tell you when the when the camera is not on. Now all the viewers are going to be like, "Excuse me, the Syot go 200 years back. There wasn't Sulgy, by the way. That's an Israeli Zionist invention. But nevertheless, to kill you with the with the oil, but anyways, and Bmet just for the for for for you to know the donuts in in Kanuka has no connection. It's not that because there was a miracle with oil, so we cook things in oil, so eat French fries. Okay, I if that's the excuse. Okay, the there was a miracle with oil. So why don't you rub your whole body with oil? That's another option. No. So you're deciding to deep fry donuts because there was a miracle with oil. Hey, you know what? I have a better thing for you. Why don't you do an oil change to your car? It's a miracle. Take your car to Jifiloo and change your oil. Kanuka is here. I mean, you understand sometimes the stupidity where people bring you all sorts of customs and everybody eats it. Mashma double meaning they eat the gyot. And I heard explanations. Wow. The white isid Okay. The jam, the red, the has to be over the when the Excuse me. Are you kidding me? The the hell are you talking about? You're eating a donut. I don't remember in the Torah anywhere that it says to eat a donut. It says to eat matzah. donut. Ramavo put the jelly in the in the the the come on >> just destroyed everybody's >> you can't even believe what I heard in regards to why we eating the the donut and the somebody told me the donut is 40 days in the desert because from Roshana till 40 explanations and I was Okay. So, what's the why the white the sugar the flower thing? That's the man that came down. Okay. Go eat your donut. So, there's no no obligation. No, there's no nothing about the donuts. By the way, you can make whatever you want. And I know some people say, "Okay, we'll cook the we'll fry the the potatoes, the latkas." Okay, you want to do that? Fine. It's not the national food of Kanuka. You can eat whatever you want on Kanuka. And you're not commemorating any miracle by eating a donut. Sorry that I had to express that because people distort the holiday. It's not about donuts and it's definitely not about the the all the junk that you eat. Dafka actually when you light the you're not supposed to eat from till after you light the candles you don't eat specifically it's not about eating it's about focusing on the light so I'm sorry I got upset at you before but the main thing you need to do in light no don't give me all sorts of fancy I need to the the darkness, you need to light the kanukia. That's your mitzvah. Besides the physical action of lighting a candle, which physically you are lighting a a light, you're bringing light into the world. But you do a very simple action that you need to do to apply while you light the kanukia. And I know a lot of people will now come and before I tell you say but I don't light the kanukia because some people have the custom this is usually by Ashkenazi that every person lights their own kanukia. So you walk into a home there'll be 10 kanukiot that's their custom and to some other ethnic groups or for example the father lights the kanukia for the entire house and the guests. So one might say with what I'm about to say now but I didn't light the kanukia. It's not about necessarily the kanukia action lighting. It's about what Hashem is trying to explain to you the right way of lighting a kanukia. By the way, anyone want to invest in the a nice kanukia. I shared a story many many times how I was many years ago for a long time. We were very very poor. I was learning in yeshiva we didn't have money and at some point I started a business and first year after I had a little bit of money I needed. I had like a disposable kanukia. It was embarrassing. So I went to buy a kanukia and I put aside x amount of money. I don't remember $200, $300. When I went to the store, they showed me. I told them, "What can $200 get me?" They showed me kanukiot like baby kanukiote. I was like, "No, I want something like this." That's ri was already in thousands. Anyways, to make a very long story short, you can find the video online and I don't remember which video it is, but nevertheless, I had in my eye on a certain kanukia and I was like, how much is that? And at the time it was a few thousand, which means 10 20 times more than I was about to that I budgeted to buy. And I went outside did a very quick and I was like why does Hashem give me money to buy a donut? No, to buy mitzvot to make mitzvot beautiful. So I'm not going to eat now 500 donuts and I'm going to pay I'm going to go for the for the expensive one. Shem gives me money only to make mitzvot beautiful because I would buy a nice jacket and spend a lot of money when I look good. So don't buy the money the the jacket. Go and buy the nice kanukia. And I went completely out of my way. It was beyond beyond beyond my budget. But I was so focused that I was like if I'm already doing the mitzvah I want it with a nice kanukia. I don't want some stinky minora because I'm cheap or because I'm short on money. And you know what was the miracle that I got that day? Like an ATM. I had a business deal that day that the person was supposed to hire me for X amount of money. That per that person not only that that day took whatever services that I gave four times the amount. The original price was 3,000. That day we closed on 12,000. And only that it opened for me a completely brand new market and community that end up resulting in bringing a lot a lot of money from one little act that I was like $300 cheapa or a few thousand beautiful kanukia and my kanuka is going to be the best possible and what I actually wanted came in an indirect way. It brought chef, it brought blessing. So you don't be cheap with kanukiot and all that stuff. And why am I saying that? Because the how you light the minora is very very important. Of course you want a beautiful minora as much as beautiful as you can and you spend money on that even though that you use it once a year. Few years ago I had some uh some money and I was like you know now I'm upgrading my kanukia and I bought this beautiful silver kanuki. Gorgeous. Gorgeous. It's in our living room sitting there 357 days of the year cuz only eight days of the year it's outside on the you know where I light it. So a whole year it's just sitting there. So the beauty of the minor is very important but how you do it is more important. And in order to light the minor the right way I'm saying same thing even though I should I should should say kanukia the manora can be understood as the seven branches I'll take it back kanukia with eight branches where you put it how you locate it how much oil all this is extremely important I'm not going to repeat it you can find it on many of my videos or in any book of alaka but there's one significant act that you need to take to consideration and that's where we can conclude even though I was so trying to do a short class I don't know something's wrong here with it's like as if I talk fast and the class becomes long at 45 minutes I was like oh I'm going to surprise the world 45 minute class it's almost two hours so uh and then I then people tell me don't worry yeah we like the long classes okay uh how to where the quantity everything has to be precise and you got to do it the right way. But a very important rule is that you cannot place the kanukia on the floor. The kanukia has to be higher than three from the floor. Is 8 cm. It's a measurement a biblical measurement. So one tea is 8 cm in inches. I don't know what it will be 3 point something. It's irrelevant. It's about this big. So, it has to be not less than three from the ground, but not more than 80. Okay? So, you have a certain amount where you want the light to be positioned. And there's a reason for that. The three on the floor. And when I'm saying, it's like me saying three feet, three inches. It's just a measurement. Don't don't get locked on the word. Just imagine a 8 cm measurement. So three of them that's how we measure it by the way your fist is normally a corresponds to the shalipot to the three kipot that are impure and are most powerful that's where they are so you can't light that can the the the you can't light that area even of where the kipot are so we don't even light them in down there and it has to be above three and below eight you have to make sure your light goes in. If you do it the right way, you know what would be the result? That when you come to light the kanukia, you're going to have to do something. You're going to have to bend down in order to light the kanukia. It's not like in the big kanuki they do in the street you know kabad in Berlin and riding some can manora 40 foot you know these kanuki I'm talking about not talking about that that's psuma that's advertising it's not a real kanuka kanukia lighting way too high that's only psuma psuma means I'm advertising the miracle The world needs to understand that there was a miracle because the the world will need the miracles as we need them. There's a there's no separation between the nation of Israel and the rest of the nations when it comes to miracles. If I need a miracle, they'll need a miracle, too. That's for sure. And it's the same Balabite, same owner that does the miracles. When I light the candles, I need to bend down to light the candle. The explains that everything that I just told you in the last two hours depends on one act. Bending down, lowering yourself. The kanukia, we don't light like that. That's advertising. That's big sh synagogues in the street. You light your own. There's no bet goes like that. My kanukia. I'm not a coin. I'm not a co that goes like this to the manora. I'm a regular individual. My kanukia. I need to bend down to light it. That's the right way of doing it. And again, we're not going into the right now. And there many customs in and then window out of the window out of the house. I we had many classes and I explained it everybody does what they want. There's different customs all accepted as long as they're right and good. But the fact is that you cannot have the kanukia less than three. It's where the kipot is and it cannot be too high. Meaning that doesn't matter how beautiful your kanukia is. In order to light it, you will need to bend down. And when you bend down physically, that needs to bring you to the awareness that in order for you to achieve anything in this world, it will require you to bend yourself down. That's it. Anything you want to achieve in this world will only work if you know how to bend down. And I said last week, most of the problems you just need to dodge the bullet, right? I quoted the matrix. It's the exact same thing bending down of dodging the bullet. Or when I say in many of my classes, just shut up. Somebody asked me a few months ago, how do you have such a good marriage? So says, "Because I know to shut up." My wife just walked in. You can ask her. As big and mighty and strong as I am, I know when is the right time. Yes, honey. To shut up. Doesn't make me less of a line. When I respect the lioness, I'm still a line. And that's one out of many. Shutting up is not only in front of my wife. Shutting up to the authority when needed. You know, I don't shut up to the authorities, but when it's needed, shut up. Shut up. And in all situations, our sages say, if you know how to guard your tongue and your lips and your mouth, you guard yourself from most of your problems. >> Yeah. Which means if you know how to shut your mouth, then you save yourself from 90% of your problems because you know your mouth is you you act back. You answer back. Whether it's your spouse, whether it's a police officer, whether it's a person in the street, it doesn't matter. But the reality is that the second that you open your mouth, you're you are in a 95% possibility of a problem. And sometimes all it takes is just to Last week I spoke about just moving your eyes for three seconds. Same idea. Hold your mouth for 5 seconds. Danger will pass. That's one of the deadliest tools. So it's all the same act in a different definition as we say in Hebrew. In English it doesn't sound so good. But in English we say the same lady with a different dress. In Hebrew it rhymes. So, but everything that I'm saying now is the exact same thing. Humbling yourself, shutting up, moving back. It's all the same thing. You do the exact same act. The problem is that we don't know how to do it because I have ego. I'm right. You can't be right. I have to be right. doesn't work well if I'm not right. Now comes the month of Kisv. The darkness is thick. Life is getting harder. A lot of challenges in my life. A lot of problems in my mind that I'm challenged with. Money, health, marriage, relationships, kids, responsibilities, mortgage. I mean all day long I have a chaos in my mind. The darkness increases increases. I think that if I will do an act or two it will make any difference and I don't stop for one second to listen to Rabbi to say don't complain the complaining is the whining is the I can't take it is focusing on the problem the complaining is focusing on the problem don't don't think I forgot that I started telling you that I had a big problem I didn't finish I don't forget I just sidetrack a lot but then I reverse back to where I stopped and could get I didn't finish telling you that I had a big problem the other day. The the the result is very simple. The the the the solution came by itself yesterday without me doing anything because I wasn't focusing on the problem. Another thing in the same respect something that we decided that needs to happen I didn't act on it. I didn't do nothing. And we just came to the decision. 3 days later, somebody calls me, begging me to help them with what I need to do and that person calls me. Do you understand how Hashem works? Or you didn't get the example? I I know it sounded a little bit. I I Okay, let me say it again. I me and a few individuals in a discerned decision we decided we need to do to get something to do something. I didn't even operate on that. In my mind I was like how am I going to get it? Let me think about it in a few days. A few days pass somebody calls me and not only offers me what I need, begs me to help him by by doing that. You're begging me. I need you. You came to me from the I don't know from where you are my solution and he's begging me. Please, please help. If you can help me, I'll do this and this and that. But that's what I need. Did I stress on this problem? Not even a split of a second. I didn't even make one phone call to try to figure out how we getting it done. And I'm talking about something big. Not moving here, this to here. Something big. And I I didn't even start thinking how I'm going to solve the problem. >> I didn't even start I didn't even start thinking how I'm going to solve the problem cuz I didn't even define it as a problem. And the solution came this the solution. Yeah. The solution came to a situation that I didn't even define as a problem and I didn't have to do anything. Do you understand how Hashem works? That's why I'm telling all the time, my life is like one long miracle. I don't I I see the problem evolving. BEFORE I EVEN PULL OUT to to do something, it's already solved. You know what I mean? Hashem says, "You did you didn't even call me. I answered before you called me." And that can only happen in one way. When you bend down and the more you bend down, the more it would work in relationship, in situations in life, in your spiritual growth, in all your challenges. That's the don't complain. It's not about sitting there like a yakn and whining. That's not what we're talking about. There's no problems. And I know you would like to continue saying there's only solutions. Not even that. Because if you are already looking at the solution means they had a there was a problem. I don't even look for solutions. Because 90% of the challenges or the situations that I need to take care of, I didn't create it and I don't solve it. And Hashem does that. So why do I need to stress myself with what's going with the with the with the process? And that's where it takes a long time to figure out. But in the Torah, you don't shoot to the direction of the target. If that's the target, you shoot there. That's how it works in the Torah. Shooting at the target, you focus at a problem that doesn't exist. And your mind is occupied with a problem that doesn't exist that you don't have to worry about. You don't have to worry about this issue right now. Your responsibility is to learn Torah, to go to pray Mina, to go and do this and then the situation gets solved. And that's how 90% of my situations get solved. I have a situation, I go and help another person. I have something that needs to be solved, I go and run to pray because my mind tells me, "No, no, no, no, no. You got to do the phone call. You got to do the phone call. You can't go and pray now. Let me do the praying. The phone call will work itself. I told you that other a few months ago we had some legal battle. Somebody was doing something very wrong and and and and illegal and it was a a battle. No, in the courts, how do you call the legal battle? >> Lawsuits. >> The lawsuits. I don't even know. That's that's what Hashem does. The law office was require of the other side was required to send a bunch of documents. The stupid intern in that office sent all the documents instead of just some some of the documents. And in the all the documents that that irresponsible intern sent, they basically sent to the court how they were wrong. Do you understand what happened here? It's like an angel came and the paper was here and the angel did like and put the angel and the paper on the top that the intern sent the wrong documents to the court that is making them look bad. It's not even making them look bad. There's a there's a word for that. How do you say that? >> Incrim incriminating. >> Incriminated them. Can you imagine? Can you imagine the lawyer going crazy from that intern? What? And needless to say, whole case switch. We're out. Victory. Can this happen in any other way but a miracle? Can I do such a thing? I can get now 60 lawyers. It won't work. Only Hashem can go in to the office and move the paper to the top of the to the order that some intern sends sends to the court the wrong papers. Now in this world it's defined as a miracle. Right. Exactly. Did I do anything? I didn't do nothing. Did I get upset? Did I lose sleep over it? Did I get worried? Was I uptight? How we going to win the case? Oh my god. I gotta now PRAY FOR 40 DAYS AND FAST FOR 80 days. What am I going to do? WHY, HASHEM? WHY? I'm such a good person. Why? You know that everybody does that. I'm such a good person. Why? That's complaining, my friend. Instead of complaining, I don't even look at the situation. I need to focus on what I need to focus on. Praying, learning Torah, teaching Torah, helping people, whatever I need to do. Let Hashem do the dirty work. It's not even for me. You understand how you fail 90% of the challenges that weren't even directed at you. You got angry at the noise from the outside. What? What are you getting angry at? I can continue now talking till tomorrow because I know most people don't understand what I'm trying to say. You want things to work in your life, you need to learn how to bend down. Not bend down to the floor. Bend down it means to give in to hand over the honor and the respect to somebody else to not to be in the spotlight. not to be the right one even though you are right. It's all about being right. When you know how to do all these things, yeah, you might feel that you lose the normal mind. That's by the way the culture of Greek. By the way, that teaches you that if I take now $100 out of my pocket and I give it to a hungry person, the Greek culture will teach you that now I'm in a lack of $100. That I lost $100 on that peasant. The Torah will come and teach you gave $100 out of your pocket to another person that is in need. Then not only you not a loss at 100, you are at a gain in a 100 million. You give, you get quadruple more. Anything that you're missing in your life, just give. You want more money in your life, just give. Anything that you want more in your life, just give and you'll get more. Because when you give, you're entering your vessel. Now, if this cup is full, can I get more water? No. So, I need to drink. Now, it's empty. Now, give me more. So I need to constantly give. Then my vessel is empty. Then I'll get more. That's it. It's very simple. So Greek culture will tell you when you give, you're at the loss. He's using you. He's taking advantage of you. Don't do that. Tua will teach you the more you give, the more you'll get. You gave one, you'll give back three. You gave three, you'll get back 15. That's how it works. So really the concept of about not complaining a should be applied all year long. B it's genius because when you focusing on what you're complaining you actually realize that half of what you're complaining doesn't need to be complained. Turn around say thank you to Hashem. Imagine imagine your child will complain all day long. Comes home from school. What's this disgusting smell? And you're like, that's dinner. Why is the house so dirty? Why is my my my my my laundry not ready? Dad, what's wrong with you? You look so dirty. Imagine how your child complains all day long. The bed is not comfortable. My clothes are not clean. Shut up already. Plant you in the ground, you spoiled brat. Now that's how you sound to Hashem. I don't have enough money. I don't this. Why is this? Why? You're whining all day long. If I was Hashem, I would also be like, "Shut up already." So they're not complaining is genius. It puts you in the right perspective. Look at yourself. Then you'll make the math if you need to complain and who to complain about what. And you'll find that most of the times you have no place to complain. Now, you can only do that with one act when you know how to lower yourself. You don't know how to lower yourself, you'll never get anywhere. And by the way, the most successful individual in history were always they knew how to lower themselves. I know it sounded like individual that I said, but the S slipped on my lip. It's individual. The top top top figures in history were always extremely humble individuals. Mosher Rabenu David not talking right now that you can only reach high levels with humility. Then the humility is knowing to lower yourself. It doesn't mean that I'm less. If I lower myself in front of you doesn't mean I'm you better. And even if you are better, who cares? I'm not in a competition. Who's better? He knows more Torah than me. Okay, good for him. Biggest mistake anyone can do. I'm in non I'm in no competition with anything about anything. I should have said with anyone about anything. Not competing with anyone about anything in this world. Why do I need to compete? I mean, it's a good attribute to be competitive and to want to win. Don't get that wrong. I have that full force. But I don't now dislike someone because they learned more than me or they're more smarter or they have more followers. This is all nonsense. Nonsense. True success is only comes from Hashem and only when you know how to make space to Hashem. And therefore Kanuka comes and teaches you something so simple. Eight days humble yourself. I we were talking about the whole month to humble yourself by if you're smart follow that for the entire year for me that remedy is not from till the last night of Kanuka. Every day every day be aware of your whining and your complaining. The other day I drove to next to good friend of mine the son got married long drive and with my karma what takes two hours takes me six hours wrongs GPS taking me to fim new under the sun for me to go a very short distance takes a very long path but nevertheless I was in the car close to 4 hours so when we got there somebody asked me how long did it take you I said we left at 1. So he says, "How many times did you hear when are we there?" And I was laughing. I said, "My kids are educ they're not educated. What's the word? They're they're >> huc no educated is more disciplined. They know I don't take the dad. When are we there? Shut up. There's no when are we there?" And one time when we get into the car, we're there when we there. So my kids don't say when are we there? But nevertheless, can you imagine the poor parents that has four or five kids in the back? When are we there? Shut up already. We're there in two hours. When are we there? So, you're telling toem all day long, when are we there? Just imagine as a as a parent, you have to deal with an annoying child. Whether you are the annoying child or you're the parent dealing with the annoying child, just relate with that. That that's how Hashem deals with you. complaining all day long, whining all day long. Nothing is good enough. I need more. Why don't I get any help here? Imagine Hashem would just tell you, "Shut up." So, if you want to do yourself a favor, because nobody's going to do that for you, by the way. Nobody's going to clean your mess and nobody's going to go work for you. Nobody's going to provide for you. You need to do it yourself. Then the same thing here says you want things in your life to go smooth then you need to you need to invite that light into your life. You need to bring those miracles into your life and that's how you do it. The other day somebody sent me a video about how the world is going to collapse and the great reset and everything is going to collapse soon and the Bitcoin and the Schmidtcoin and everything and wow wow what are we doing and 2026 all the prophets are saying 26 collapse. So this individual how what should I do that it's not going to affect me am I doing anything that it's not going to affect me I'm with Hashem nothing will affect me how it's not supposed to affect me that's it you are glued to hem means The day, the day Mashiah will come when all hell will break loose. Whether it's the day Mashia comes or a day before, a year before, it doesn't matter. The day the fan is going to start working. I'm with Hashem. Something can move me. How can something move me when I'm with Hashem? A thousand will fall from one side, 10,000 from the other side. Nothing will come to you. Chapter 91 in tim. You read that every day. You don't believe that. You read it and you don't believe it. Then why are you reading it? I believe that. I believe that a thousand will fall from here, 10,000 10,000 from here. Nothing will come to me. Why should I be worried? I'm with Hashem now. If I wouldn't be with Hashem, then I have what to worry about. That's it. How do you survive the great reset? Be with Hashem. Okay. So, how do I survive the great financial collapse that is coming? Well, don't buy Bitcoin and be with Hashem. By the way, you can make a lot of money in the collapse. So, don't listen to my advice with not buying Bitcoin. When things collapse, that's when you buy everything going down, of course, and then buying it low. Somebody was driving me nuts with the Bitcoin the other day. I said, "Listen, the the heavy waiters, they don't they're happy the Bitcoin is down. The ones who are selling are all the chickens." >> Hated. >> Yeah. The little ones, the big ones are waiting for it to go down to 5040 to buy again. Same thing here. Or do you think the stock market invest or crypto invented anything? If you buy when it's high, you're full. You buy before the drop. Same thing. That's how I conduct my life. But going back to what I was saying, how do you survive all this? You want everything to be successful. It's only with you with Hashem. Now I know you think you're with Hashem cuz you wear Yamoka and you have a beard and you eat kosher. But if you complain then you're not with Hashem. And therefore there the recommendation is don't complain. You are pushing yourself away from Hashem. Hashem knows what's good for you. You don't know what's going on in the right. What looks not good for you is the path for your success. You have to go through certain paths. It to you doesn't look good, but you're not the driver. Let Hashem take you. Don't complain. Don't whine. So it hurts a little bit. So it doesn't work out a little bit. So it doesn't work out how you want. Don't get anxious. Don't get frustrated. Don't get angry. That's how Hashem wants it. Don't do all that I just told you. You have a better mood, better attitude. But you'll see that the bumpy way that you took as a struggle was just there for whatever reason for you not to look at it as a struggle. And when you completely ignore it, you see the solution just came. I don't run after anyone. The solutions come to me. Just the other day, I told you two scenarios. One scenario, a big transaction. I didn't even start thinking how it's going to be done. Somebody calls me and and the joke is begs me to help him and I'm like okay if you pressure I'll help. I didn't do that of course it's just to make you laugh but I I was laughing how I didn't need to do any effort. And on the other thing that I told you that I didn't forget the other day there was a big problem in your vocabulary. In my my vocabulary, it's not a problem. It's a situation. It's a situation that needs to dodge the bullet. A big problem. And my attitude as always is just to completely ignore it. Listen, if I if I'm bleeding to death, I don't ignore it. Don't don't distort what I'm saying. There was a big problem. I decided to ignore it because the solution I knew it will be way beyond what I can handle. I don't I don't have a solution. And sure enough, the solution came a few days after the problem was solved without me doing nothing. And I attribute to that only because I didn't complain. Why? How? Again, now I have to deal with it. There wasn't any complaints here. Sometimes somebody asks you to do something and you exactly sat down. You took your book with your cup of coffee or whatever and you're now I just sat down. I just took my shoes off. The point is never to never to complain. And that's why tells you if you do that then you'll see a miracle. And that's how it works. And he says that onv because the darkness is very strong because after the strong darkness of course comes a lot of light. When do you activate it? If you were hashem even if you failed the last three weeks or you didn't hear about the remedy and you're just now hearing it you didn't lose anything. Even if you tried for the last three weeks and it didn't work for you or you only heard about it now. It's not that okay 3 weeks have passed I lost the opportunity. You start by not complaining by saying, "I lost the opportunity." That's complaining for you. If you said, "I just lost the opportunity." Well, you complaining again. Just say, "I heard it now." Then I still have 11 days. You understand how the the attitude needs to work not only inv the entire year. Instead of saying I wish I I I I what a shame I didn't hear. I wasted three weeks. I failed. Just look at it by saying can imagine I wouldn't hear about it at all. That's it. I have pain. It could have been worse. This is the problem. It's not much of a problem. It can still be with a solution. theory what I just said in the last two hours practical failure 99% of the times I know it's not easy but when you understand the concept and when you willing to apply and you have the desire to change then you'll be able to do that and then it will be effective and like I said in the last class the effort doesn't need to be much. Last time I said in regards to looking to the wrong direction, I said the effort is three. The effort is 3 seconds. This is the effort and I just saved myself um 40 g. You show you saw what I did 3 seconds. I moved my head down. Can you imagine you doing that 10 times a day and that another time 20 times a day that you just three three seconds don't answer? I know people hate it. People I they say something, I just look, they get more angry. Why don't you answer? You don't want to hear what I really want to answer. Take my silence. It's much much better. But it works. Count, bite your tongue. I don't care what you do. It's that the effort is not big. Now, once you open the door and the sit is in, the effort is going to be almost impossible to push it out. Therefore, if you understand the concept, you see the possibility and the the opportunity and it's still hard for you, then just know that now you have eight days. Eight days to bend down and to light your kanukia. And by the way, if you are the ones who are going to tell me, but my husband lights the kanukia. I go to the beta to the synagogue. I don't do it. Then find yourself the right place where you light the kanukia. That the person who lights the kanukia, who's doing it for you too is the right person. Okay? If you are obligated in hearing the migill, you don't go to some I don't know, I don't know. I don't know if I could even an example. You don't go to a place where they don't read it right because you don't read it. Now, if you know how to read it and you do it the right way, then good. But if you don't know how to read the migila, then you have to go and listen. So, you have to choose the best person that reads it, right? Not the ones who are reading it on 500 kilometers an hour. And I didn't understand one word. And on the other hand, go don't go to the that's like five hours. I was stuck in a bikinim a few years ago in Los Angeles. I never experienced such such a thing. And it's after a fast. Usually it's 45 minutes to an hour. I'm not exaggerating. It was three and a half hours like this on my letter. No. Okay. Next word. No offense. every person that's good for you. I mean, of course, making it funny. So, so we'll laugh a little bit, but you you need to hear the megila or to the same respect, you need to hear the chauffar when I'm going to go to some chickmok and don't hear it. Well, I need to hear it the right way. I'm counting on you. Whether it's chauffar, migila, whatever it is, I'm counting on you. Whether it's even reading hearing the Torah on Shabbat, you don't read the Torah on Shabbat. You are depending on the Qur. And if you are together with it and your when somebody talks, sh you need to hear. Or if the says he who oh relax. But you want to hear it the right way. The ones who are screaming in the back, they're right. It shouldn't be said he. It has to be who? You made a mistake in the Torah. You ruined it for everybody. You didn't read it right way. The Balor needs to take back and read the word again. But I'm counting on him. So when I'm going to go to a Bessan when they let a 14-year-old boy read, I can't understand the word. Or a guy who reads for 50 years. There was one Bessa that I went to. I don't know why they started letting a boy read from the Torah on Shabbat. I couldn't understand a word. Voice of a girl, you know. I I I was very disappointed. At some point, I stopped going to the to the to the synagogue. And when somebody told me, "Why aren't you coming here anymore?" I said, "They have on Shabbat." A 14-year-old boy reading from the Torah. Now, if he would be some talent, I understand. But he's not, you know, he wasn't even close to a talent. No resemblance to any talent. I've been to some shy boy they read from the Torah. I never heard anything like that. One of the nicest story reading I ever heard from a 14-year-old, 15-year-old be gorgeous. But the other guy sounded like Niko and I don't understand the words. So what did I do here? Same thing here. You want somebody to light for you, then find the right person to light. Don't go to some nikor. But even if you don't light it yourself, Kanuka is the time where you need to practice the bending down. And when you know how to bend down, it doesn't make you less of a person. It actually makes you a greater person. Not every time you need to be the right one, the strong one, the big one. It's actually makes you a much much much more better person when you make everybody bigger than you. And everything that I'm telling you is all funneling to the same letter that I've been telling you for years. Just follow that little letter. Your life will be different. You'll serve Hashem in a completely different way. All that I'm saying now, it's all for where he says straight out, humble yourself and and he will and Hashem will rise you. So you're not losing anything when you're humbling yourself. Not in front of your wife, not in front of your kids, not in front of anyone. And the more you see everybody greater than you, the more you become greater than everybody else, by the way, because that's my attitude. I look at every person and I can very quickly say, "I'm much better and pull up a long list of what I'm much better than you." But that's arrogant. On the other way, I pull out a long What can I learn from you? >> No, exactly. Well, you said it different. >> You said what can I learn from you? I look at what are you there? What are you better than me? You are you are probably much better than me in many things that I'm not. Then I'm good at A, B, and C. You are much better than me in many things. So you said it the other way around. What can I learn from you? It's the same exact thing. Same thing with Torah. I've learned from all my teachers. David says from the good, from the bad. David took advice from a wicked individual, but he learned from him, too. I learned from everybody. And you can only learn if you're not arrogant. It doesn't mean you need to affect you. But I learned from everyone. I learned from stupid people also how not to behave. I'm not joking. >> Yeah. But the but the point here and this is not that topic I'm talking about from I always look at a person that he's better than me. That's what he says in the Raman. If you're richer than him then he you if you he's richer than you then you have to respect him. If you're richer than him then you have to seem like he has the over you. And that's the right attitude to look at any person not where is he better than me. He is better than me in other aspects. I cannot find one person in the world that I'm better than everything. And probably can, but it's not the point. It's the it's the idea. Now, when you have that thought, every person is great in your eyes. Whether they're good or bad, it's irrelevant. They're bad people. Just move away from them. You don't have to hate them or fight them. I don't hate any other person. you're not good for me. I am not going to live in Iraq. They're not going to like me there. So, I just don't go there. But I don't hate them. I don't hate the Iraqian people. I never met them. I don't care. Let them live their life and leave me alone. I don't hate another person so I don't look at another person down. That's that's the key. All the last two hours bending down. It's all funnels down to the same thing. You know how to bend yourself down. Everything in life will be smoother. Everything will be more successful. By default, things will happen that you will relate to them as miracles because it will never happen. Why did you do that? Because you made space for the light to shine by humbling yourself. You don't, you don't complain. You don't whine. You just have gratitude to Hashem. Just imagine how it sounds to Hashem when you whine. Now, I'm not talking about when you pray to Hashem, what you need, please, Hashem, I need Yeshua, I need this, I need to find a wife, I need. That's not whining. That's praying. Don't confuse between the two. Praying, you need something, go and pray for that. But not in a whining way, by the way. and not and and most people whine to Hashem. Why? And I tried and it didn't work. Change the attitude to grateful and appreciation and you'll see you whine much less. But the point you want to take from that to conclude besides that I'm telling you go to.org/kanuka to learn everything that you need to do. Don't miss the eight days. It's eight days and when you light the kanukia the organ is revealed. You won't see it but it will affect you. You sit next to the kanukia. Look at the candles for half an hour. Don't think of anything else. Just think. You don't think. Meditate on the light. That's it. Just invite this light to cleanse you, to clean you. But take the advantage of the eight days that you can bring on you this power that allows you to see that you're not God's gift to the world. And even if you are, everybody needs to shine. Everybody needs their moment of fame. And when you know how to move aside, that's when you invite all the blessings to your life. And I can't even stress how many times I moved aside and I saw right away blessings. You know how many times I was invited as the main speaker and some other rabbi came and and in a in a setting that I just moved aside. No, go ahead. you you you take the stage I don't need to shine and that's one example out of many when you move aside nothing bad can happen from that don't and moving aside is you know you you give you give in your honor your respect and it doesn't mean that you allow somebody to disrespect you don't don't mix between the two it's fine lines between definitions giving in and humb Humbling myself is not letting somebody disrespect me. That's to two different things. If that person in their behavior is pointed at me in disrespect, I don't need to b bend down besides what needs to be done here. You disrespect me, I don't do anything. I move aside. So you disrespect the air and then you get nothing out of me because I moved. I don't get angry when you disrespect. I'm not looking for respect. I don't let your disrespect pull me to anger or anything like that. So it all boils down to the same thing. Bending down like you bend down to your child, child talks, you bend down, you pick him up. It never hurts. You only going to be the winner. The bending down is the giving in and not complaining and and shutting up and moving aside. It's so many things together. But when you know how to apply that, really what you do is you're just making a lot of space for a lot of light to shine. That's it. Because when you do the opposite, you fill in the void with the darkness. Arrogance, hate, anger, it's all darkness. It's all fed from darkness. So you surround your life with darkness. So things don't work out. Doors of opportunity close in your face. Things don't flow well. People aggravate you. You are aggravated. You are impatient. You are not in a state of peace and it's like a whirlpool gets worse and worse. So at the end of the day, you're only helping yourself and it can only work if you're able to do that is making space for the rest of the world to operate. Therefore, the remedy that he says is just don't complain. I know it sounds like don't complain. I think I explained that a little bit. I wanted it to be a short class. It ended up being a very long class. Whoa. Almost three hours. We'll cut it into part one, part two, part 18. Uh so now it's only left to apply and you are the only one who can do it. Nobody will do it for you. That's where Hashem is telling you, you need to do something under the umbrella of not complaining and not whining. You need to do something and when you sometime want something to work in a very particular way and to be successful then your act has to be in a level of nephesh you have to give something up that's how it works the makabim they won the war how can five men win a whole army because the act that they did was life sacrifice giving in I'm sacrificing whatever it is right Now since they did this act going way beyond what they can handle it's called nephesh that I put my life on the line then you activate a miracle in that level that you win an army but anything that you need a miracle in your life has to be nephesh you need three four five years you can't make money you have to do one act where you nephesh it doesn't matter what it is right now same with them with anything in your life. You can't find your other half for many many years. You need to get you need some big big thing may have even here am you need to give in something in a level that you are bringing the same type of energy on you. So the makabim were able to do that with winning a war and many other situations. All depends the level of your nephesh. If it's the hardest thing for you to wake up in the morning and you need something moving in your life, then you you wake up at 4:00 in the morning in the freezing cold where you can barely go out of the bed and you shle yourself down to the mikv ice cold mikv and you dip in and it's hard and it but you give you you you're you saying I could have slept till 9. I could have gone to the tan mik where it's hot there. Not to the mikqu where it's ice cold. I could have prayed at 9ine in a nice minan where they give bas and and roalak cup of coffee. Why why torture myself at 4 in the morning? It's all what you do. I can go to the same do the same thing. go and pray at nine and go to a mikvah. I'm not joking. sons, they heat the water, the mikvah is warm. And I can do the exact same thing and going to the mikvah at 4:00 in the morning freezing cold and praying nets and not sleeping 9 hours, sleeping four hours. Same shar same way. One is one is lazy or not even lazy, just a little more laidback. The lazy one actually will pray at 12. Not going to mention in which synagogue you know where no there he did the job no and that can be with anything you want something you need to give the exact same weight of what you're demanding or expecting. That's it. No other ways of doing it. You want something big, you need to come to the table with a big offer. You cannot come and buy a $100 million property and come with a box of bananas and says that's my offer. There's no connection. Maybe you offer $99 million. I'll consider the offer. You bring me bananas. You want money. You want to get married. You want to know the Torah. You want miracles in your life. Then what did you do the last 10, 15, 10, 5 years? What do you do? What do you do? You demanding miracles. No, but what do you do? What do you offer? You want something big, you have to offer something in the same magnitude. Then it's going to work. You need to do your calculation. What's that level you're willing to give of what you want to to get? And the path to it is the no complaining is kind of what I just said. In other words, no demands. Hashem, whatever you want to give me, I'm fine with. That was my attitude in the last 20 plus years. Hashem, whatever you give me, I'm fine with. When I wanted to get married and I went to the matchmaker and I want to find a woman, a wife, what are you looking for? I said, a woman. No. No. What? What? What are you looking for? That was pretty clear the first time. A woman. Personality. I don't care. How does it How does she look? No. As long as I'm attracted, that's it. No demands. I said, "Whatever Hashem designed for me to be a wife, that's what I'll take. The woman that I want doesn't exist. I stop looking for that woman cuz it's an imaginary woman. I'm looking for the woman that God thinks is the best fit for me. I know in the beginning I'll fall in love with her and then that rest of the 20 years she'll just annoy me to death, but that's the woman that I need to grow spiritually with. That's it. And I'm exaggerating. My wife doesn't annoy me to death. She's an amazing woman. I'm just saying I'm talking to paint the situation. I choose a a wife. Whatever Hashem decides to give me, I'm I'm going to be grateful and happy. And if I find things in this woman that annoys me, I am the issue, not that woman, which means that she's perfect. I'm the the the defected item. That's it. That's the attitude. when I was looking to get married 20 plus years ago. So, some matchmaker matched me up with some lady to go out on a date and uh same thing. And this woman was with a child, divorce. I was young, you know, normal normal men were like, I need to marry now a divorced woman with a child. I I'm a kid myself. I don't need a divorced woman. That's the attitude of most people. But the attitude was like, if that's my future wife, then she'll come with a lot of baggage. If she's my real wife, she'll come with a lot of baggage. She can't come with a little bit of baggage if she's my wife. So therefore, I'm giving you this example because I never had expectations. Not with a wife, not with business, not with where I'm going to live. I know what Hashem wants for me. I mean, you want to have dreams and aspirations, but whatever Hashem defines, that's what you're going to get. and be happy with what Hashem gave you because he gave you the best and Hashem wraps his presents not nice. He wraps it with a newspaper. Wraps presents with a lot of glitter and a lot of like fancy wrapping and bells and Oh, and then you open and you see nothing in there. That's everything nice. The Greek everything nice, shiny. Hashem wraps everything with a like this that when you see it on the floor, you don't even bend down to pick it up. But that's where the gem is. Think Hashem wraps the gems with beautiful glitter paper. No, it wraps in dirt. Which brings the same act when you bend down. That's when you see that's where can you find things. So the lesson you want to take is a your success is depending on how humble you are. That's where Hashem wants you to grow. All the paths and all the books that we learn is to teach you how to refine yourself. And the highest level of refinement is is being humble. You can refine yourself with being kind and being polite, being charitable, being courteous, being patient. Oh, all this is amazing. But the top top top top top midak characteristic is that's why Mosher Rabenu the most humble person in history and his humility brought him to a level that he spoke with God face to face. Even Mashiach won't be a prophet like Mosher Rabenu. By the way, Mashiach in wisdom will be much more smarter than Mosher Rabeno. But in prophecy, that's the Torah. Which means that Mashiach won't be in prophecy greater than Mosher Rabeno. Mosher spoke to Hashem. That's humility. And by the way, Mosher Raenu was smart, rich, strong, wealthy, everything. He had all the credentials to be the most arrogant person in the world. But he was the complete opposite. Now what brought him all his success is his anava. In any encounter the Torah has about you see his approach with Hashem reveals himself in the burning bush. Go take the Jews out of say there much better leaders. No no no you can do it but I have an older brother. Let our older brother do it. any other person would be like I'm going to become the VIP. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to become the president. Yeah, yeah, I want to. Moshin was like, "No, no, no. I don't need this headache." But he didn't have the attitude of I don't need this headache. He had the attitude of but my brother is older than me. He's smarter than me. He's more successful than me. He's the right person. Same thing with David. When is when when toai and went through all the boys of David didn't COME AND SAY WHAT ABOUT ME? YEAH. The story says that he was in the field. Field means he was in a place of humility in a place of simplicity in a place of pashoud. He wasn't in the field down there raping the the the the the tomatoes. He was in a place of humility. He didn't said to, "Hey, what about me?" He didn't even say that when the oil didn't go out. Then when Shu was like, "Do you maybe have another son? It's not working on all these guys." But it's not that David was hidden somewhere. He was right. He was there. He just he was in such a level of humility says if it didn't work for them, why would it work for me? And sure enough, from that level of the oil will turn on him. He's the Mashiach. You want success in your life. You want peace in your life. You want to be walking on the path that God designed to you. Even if it's a little bit bumpy, but it's the God the path that God designed to you which is the successful path for you. Then it's all about you knowing how to humble yourself, not to answer Hashem, not to complain, be grateful for everything, all the disasters. Instead of whining and losing your hope and temper, only thank Hashem and not a fake thank you. I don't like the thank you Hashem. Became very popular since that song came out. If you're doing it genuinely, good. A lot of people it's a slogan. Thank you, Hashem. No, be truthful. Thank Hashem. Really, I thank Hashem 500 times a day because I see how he's just moving everything. I don't do much. Somebody other day I spoke to him and I told him about Chuva. You He's like, "You look like you were born into it." I said, "No, no, Chuva 20 plus years ago." He looked me up a little bit on his phone. He's like, "Woo, you came a long way. Yeah, you put effort, you go far. So, uh, what did he tell me? He told me, uh, it's hard to see you about chuva. He's like, no, he told me you make it look easy. I say I make it look easy because it is easy. I don't put any any effort. You put too much effort is the concept of you try to grab too much at one point you don't end up having anything. Grab 10 oranges like this you can carry them. Try to grab 15 20 put one more orange on the pile everything falls. When you try to grab too many things you only have two hands. You can only grab here and put mount in your mouth. How much can you grab? When you grab more than your capacity, you lose everything. Same thing here. Why are you putting too so much effort? You need to put little effort. You need to put the right effort, not not a quantity. Why are you going crazy? It's little and right effort that does the job. That's it. And then it looks simple. It's not, but it looks. And that's the summary of three hours that I wanted to give over in half an hour. But you have an opportunity from today. Even if you missed the remedy for the last 19 days, 20 days to be exact. If you missed it, you didn't hear, you only heard now, you didn't apply. Okay, you have another 10 days. That's the first stop not to complain. Don't complain that you lost two weeks. 10 20 days. Be thankful and appreciative that you have another 10 days. Imagine you would hear the video a day before the end. You only have one day. which you can't do much in in one day. And by the way, for the ones who failed or didn't listen on time. Yeah. The the the remedy from the rabbi is from first day of till the last day of do that every day in your life. The remedy will work every day. Put that in the front focus of your life. Not to complain, not to whine, not to look at the bad, look at the positive. Be grateful. Seek for the positive in all the bad situations. Look where you can shed light in the dark situation. Do all this on a regular base. Your life will be operating like a miracle. Everything will be miraculous. And I am the proof. I testify that I do that. I'm not teaching you fake advice. I learn, I apply, it works. Now you do it. So you can come and say but it works for you. I'm not different than you in any way. If I was able to apply it, you can apply it exact same measure and probably more. That's it. Problem solved. And then you see how life just works out. And your challenges. I don't take all these background noises as my challenges. My challenges is only if I was on time for prayer, how focused I was on the prayer, how much today I learned Torah, how much I was focused on the Torah, whether I learned half an hour but very focused or four hours and I don't don't my challenges is my spiritual growth because the second that you stop walking and start going back like a treadmill. You walk and it's hard and you want it to be more more workout then make the treadmill harder and you make the treadmill go up but the second that you stop the motion of walking the treadmill right so you can't stop walking the only thing I recommend is just rem reduce the intensity but the second you stop walking you start going back so my challenge challenges all day long is how I maintaining like a marathon runner pace good pace not don't don't tire yourself out sometimes you can't do it too too much I had periods in my life that I would learn 12 14 hours a day Torah like can't move me from the book some days half an hour that's it capacity reached the top I can't right now I have other obligations I have other things to do. So it works. You need to apply it. The key is very simple to understand. Very hard to put it in in the lock. But I can guarantee to you that anyone can do that. Now again, it doesn't mean your whole life now all problems solved. It will definitely remove 80 to 90% of the issues. It will make life that there might be the challenges stay the same but you won't stress over it. You won't worry over it. Solution will come quick without you bending over backwards. Sometimes you go in circles 3 months looking for a solution when the solution is right in front of you sitting right in front of you which if you would only do what you're supposed to do you would found the solution 3 months ago. That's it. Enjoy the light of Kanuka. It's a very rare opportunity that eight days this hidden light is shining just sitting next to it with no arrogance. You will be abs you will absorb this light. There's an order of prayers what we need to do when we light the candles. Go tomud.org/kanuka what you need to do in what order how to read what to read. It takes time but it's much better than Instagram and Facebook and and WhatsApp and all the rest of the junk. Invest that good hour next to the candles. I would say half an hour looking at the light, half an hour reading. While you're looking at the light, that's when all the that's when I'm thinking where can I get better? Where can I become a better teacher, a better husband, a better father? I want to become a better Jew, a better learner. Where can I refine myself? These little things I need to refine. I want to be more here more. Why? Because the organ has the power of healing, power of everything. So that's the perfect time for you to make all your chuva. You nourish from that light and half an hour read when you read the order of what the mikubim are telling us to read that you you I gave a lot of classes explaining on that you open all the gates of shea of abundance. You you really reaching to an opportunity that I know it sounds like a cliche but it's once a year. You're not going to get the light of kanuka till next year. And what you can achieve on Kanuka you can take it with you for the rest of the rest of the year. The whole concept of is we have come to kick out kick away the darkness. It's not even that. It's not even kick out. Means to really throw out to push out. You kick somebody out. That's deportation. We came to kick out the darkness. The whole fight with the darkness for the rest of the year. You're getting now the power. You're coming with light. The light of Hashem. Everything that is dark in your life, you you overpowered with darkness. And uh don't think that you do that and the whole world will smile at you. The whole world is dark. There a fraction of people in this world that are light. That's it. Most people are fed from the darkness. They're part of this. Don't be affected by that. Don't don't be disappointed. Not everybody can see the light. But you need to do the good in the eyes of Hashem. And I be recommend take this holiday to the maximum. It doesn't have much restrictions. It's a regular day. You can work prayan that you can hear the Torah every day. We're reading the inauguration of the tabernacle. It's affecting your in many ways. We read don't miss these things. I know it's that's where the pray later on. Wake up hard. Rip yourself out of the bed. Wake up. Pray nets. Go to the mikvah. Do do the little things on Kanuka. Don't light the kanukia at 9:00 at night. I'm waiting for Uncle Sammy. No, light it up the time it needs to be lit up. Uncle Sammy has a problem if he's late. It has to be lit up right after you pray. Right at the That's when you light it. Don't wait. Now, listen, I'm exaggerating. A guest is coming from far away, you wait. I wouldn't wait, but come on time next time. I don't move by time of lighting the candles cuz somebody's late or something. You don't you have a problem. Make it on time or go somewhere else. But take it serious. Do that you go beyond your capabilities, beyond what makes sense to you, beyond what you can handle that I'm willing to give my life for this to work. And you'll tap into this hidden light to this. It will affect you in a very positive way. No doubt. Every year I do the same. Then every year Hashem throws a garbage bin at me. Full garbage. The whole day. I'm telling you, the whole last three weeks it's like a it's it's a joke. It's actually funny to see it. How everything seems like it's not working and everything is in a limited restricted way. You know what it is? Back pains for two weeks. I can't barely walk. Pain all the time. Get up. Sit down. I can focus on that and then I empower that and I feed that or I can completely ignore it and be thankful that now I'm only dealing with a little bit of bad pain or a car accident, heart attack or how that can come. It's only a little bit of pain I can handle. I've been through worse so it hurts a little bit. You know there are men and women who sat in dark tunnels chained in cages for two years by kamas terrorists imam and I'm going to complain on a back pain every time I have something that is uncomfortable in my life. Well that's what I did for the last two years. I just thought of the hostages. I have a toothache. They don't even have a dentist. Do you know what they went through there? And you you complaining cuz you're cold or your shoes ripped or you have a back pain. Put things in proportions, my friend. That's the attitude. Now, when this becomes your nature, then your energy, the flow is so positive and so clear. You can only invite good things on you. You attract light. You don't attract darkness. You manufacture darkness, you will attract darkness. So you will attract the people who create this darkness for you. But when you're manufacturing light with everything that I just said and we learned in the last three hours, you attract the right people. You attract the light to you. That's it. Call it the miracle. I call it the miracle because it's a miracle for you to to >> It's not a miracle. Hm. >> It's not a miracle. If you >> Exactly. That's why I said you can call it a miracle, but it's not a miracle. You just behaved how the Torah told you to and by default you attract the light to you. Very simple. So, take advantage of the opportunity of the holiday of light. There's a lot of information on my website, other places. Learn the learn what needs to be done. It's a very simple holiday. Don't waste your time on the donuts and the nonsense. See, that's what the tries to get you off the focus. And I know it sounds like, what? A whole hour? I need to sit next to the candles. No, go hour. You sit one hour next to the candles. It's going to save you from sitting hours, hundreds of hours >> in doctor's lines, in bank lines, in lines everywhere. One hour you sit next to the candles without your phone. It will save you hours of sitting in lines in places you don't want to sit. Courtrooms. Trust me. I know the yet right away tells you it's a waste of time. Do the short version. I rather sit an hour in front of the candles than sit an hour or two or four or 20 in a courthouse, in a police station, in the municipality, in beti, in the social security, in katim, in the doctor. >> I don't go much to the bank, but when I do go, never have I stood in line when I go to the bank. And I send sometimes whether it's my assistant, my wife, go to the bank. You go. No, I'm busy. No, but you when you go, you come back in 10 minutes. My wife goes to the bank, comes back after 3 hours. Where were you? I go in, out. So, she tells me that, well, that's the not not fair. You're VIP. You walk in, everybody come, come. I'm no VIP. I walk in places people don't know me. I don't wait in lines because I waste my time on valuable things. So that time cannot be taken away from me on standing in a line for 2 hours like this. Not that I commute much, but I'm barely in traffic. When you're held traffic in line, all that means you're wasting your time when you're supposed to do other things. So now when you want to do other the right things, your time is being wasted. That's my my advice to all men in the morning. Pray the long prayer in the morning. Pray early. You'll be much less in traffic when you go to work because you didn't waste your time in the morning. You didn't do the right thing in the morning. You'll waste your your time will be wasted in traffic for two hours. You need to know that's know when to give. You think you're losing. You're not losing my friend at all. You gave now $1,000 the donation. You think you lost. You didn't lose anything, my friend. You opened now the opportunity to make 10,000. That's how it works. So now the opportunity as you can see I cannot stress enough what you can achieve next week. Starting Sunday night all the way till next Monday. 8 days every day we increase the light. Same prayer, same kanukia. Learn what you need to do. You you in a place where you can change your your life completely. And I'm not joking. I'm not exaggerating. I'm telling you, I've been in places in my life that a strong decision like this was taken and life was shifted completely different direction and sometimes it was overnight. It's not not doable. You need to believe in that. You need to understand that it can be done and then you need to apply. You do all that you'll you'll invite many many miracles into your life. You'll trigger a lot of miracles. But the key here is you need to humble yourself. You need to know how to bend down. And that includes everything that I just said in the last three hours. Master that you'll be very successful. And it doesn't mean you're going to be now a millionaire. People think success is millions. I told you many times the definition of success. Successful in your journey getting close to Hashem. If you need to have money, Hashem will give you as much as you need. If you need to be successful, a scholar, healthy, you'll get what you what you're supposed to get. And you are the one who can restrict it. Most people are pushing back their baka, their wife, their money, their success. But once you are good with Hashem, you'll get what you what you're supposed to get in an abundance. Hashem only give things in abundance. It's like, you know, when you come and pour like a, you know, a drink to another cup and the guy who pours a little bit of drunk, Hashem pours to you. You're the one who is like, "No, no, no, I don't want to." So, when I'm telling you, you'll see a significant change in your life. It's not the next week somebody will call you and tell you won $500 million in the lottery, but you'll wake up in the morning more energy, more focused, happier, more determined, more uh uh what's the word? Hopeful is a good word. I was more about to say more confident that you can do it. You wake up, most people wake up in the morning, can barely push themselves to brush their teeth. You need to wake up in the morning every day like as if it's the day that you're going to pick up the $500 million check that you won. >> You don't sleep the night before. >> That's what I was about to say. >> The day that you're going to pick up that Ferrari that you ordered, you don't sleep the night before. That's after you have to wake up every day. I am going to wake up. I'm throwing myself out of the bed cuz I'm going to get that wish I was waiting all my life. That's how that's the attitude >> today for us. >> Yeah, >> we we came to see you. >> But that's the attitude >> and that that's how I measure success that my mood is different. I'm not angry. I'm not weak focused. Then you just slowly slowly just attract all good things and by default you push all negative things. So as I mentioned a few times I can talk and talk and talk. It's already 3 hours 10 minutes and 42 seconds of many words. So, >> so I'm going to take the opportunity to wish everybody a happy Kanuka >> and may Hashem fill your life with miracles and may Hashem do the ultimate miracle that you will be able to fulfill your life with miracles and find a place of h humility and in front of the world and that Hashem should bring you to the place where you handle your own path and may all be blessed by Hashem with great paras. and health. There's a lot lot of special prayers on Kanuka that I highly recommend to focus. I'm not going to continue now. Watch it on the go to the.org/kislev and kanuka because very briefly on the fifth night of Kanuka is very it's the night for the all the singles. Fifth night of Kanuka there's a certain prayer for singles. All the mubalim explained I'm not going to explain why now you can find all my website remember fifth night of kanuka that's for singles on the 28th of kisv uh very very special prayer and a veryious time for for tikun for parasal but specifically for tikunim that are not so easy to do whether it's tikun and many other things 28 of kisv you can remove like 90% dirt from the pipe with that prayer and we all need this tonim because we all it's mainly for tikun okay to make it simple I don't want to make the video more longer than it is every time you you sin in karet we all sin in karet then that's the time to do the tikun 28th of kisv there's a certain prayer and then we have which falls on shabbat this year and Sunday we have kanuka every day there's like so kanuka is bombarded with >> every day better than the other. So follow all the the videos. I'll post everything. Take advantage of that. Shem should light your life with the light of and you should only find true joy, happiness, and success in your life. Shem should bless you that you'll be able to do it yourself and not to whine that you couldn't do. Happy my friends.
