Reconnect to your soul! Powerful message that can change your life completely! By Rabbi Alon Anava

For many years I heard lectures of my dear friend Ara Alon [clears throat] Anava [cough] from when he became inspired since 2001 from the year Anana to Miami first New York and Miami and I'd like just to introduce this is the first time in Abraham we have amazing speaker who inspire Jews around the world. The great speaker who bring and continue to bring light among our nation and today we would like to welcome dear friend Nava and I will bring to inspire before the day of judgment and to each and everyone. Amen. Amen. Welcome. >> Thank you so much. First I have to answer a few people. Thank you so much Rabbi for the introduction and mainly for opening your shul. Pretty rare thing in our days. Uh so I have to first explain I had a lot of people say to me that they're very afraid that today is not going to be a good lecture cuz I wasn't late. [laughter] So I got already a lot of messages. Oh no. Is that going to be like a like a boring lecture like lame lecture? You came on time. What's going on here? The curse is over. So, I don't need to be late for the lecture to be good. When I'm late, I know it's going to be extra good. But there are other ways for me to know that uh the lecture will be good. And I can already tell you it's going to be good. We're starting on a very powerful day. Even though we're already like uh on the verge of leaving the 18th day of ill but uh I don't know when exactly here but we might have a little spark of which gives us a lot of kai means 18 18 the 18th of and in the month of every day has a certain energy a certain powerful energy that if you know how to tap into it then that is what makes your ill so special. Tomorrow we're going to talk about a different concept about the month of mercy which raises a big question. Why is called the month of mercy? Mercy comes after judgment after din. So this should be the month of din. First comes din then comes mercy. So the reality is the the teachings of Kabala explains that on the month of if we would be able to see this light that comes down to the world of of mercy from Hashem then we would wouldn't stop running after chuva the whole month of so I hope you are keeping yourself busy in your chuva that you're not letting alul I mean we're already past half of alul so hopefully you are all really focusing on your cha and taking advantage of this powerful powerful uh month. So before we start, somebody asked me to dedicate the class, right? Am I right? >> Yeah. So we're going to dedicate the class first of all to the and anyone who needs should have an amazing miraculous recovery. You want to give me the name? >> Yes. should have an aliyah and should be on us and all the of the great generations should all join us very soon with the coming of Mashiach with the merit of this class that we have a lot of people online welcome too that if every person will do one mitzvah after this class tonight we already have a very powerful impact on the world. So tonight I wanted to talk about something that is a difficult concept for most people to deal with and what's good is that the topic is suitable for any type of person any level of spirituality whether you are a complete beginner or you are a professional baouva it covers everybody from top to bottom and the concept cept that I'm referring to is called hast a concealment. And I'm sure you heard the concept. I'm sure you maybe learned a little bit about this topic about the concept of hast a concealment of God in this world. Because when God created the world, there was a plan behind it. There was a reason why the world was created. The main reason because Hashem wanted he wanted to give us a bonus an upgrade and what way to do it in a in a way that we will actually earn what I'm receiving and therefore I'm not coming to the master of the universe in in a form of shame and I basically you earn you get what you earn perfect system but in order for us to be part of such a system. Hashem cannot be in any type of a way exposed here. The whole point of this world is that the name of the game is that we do not see Hashem. That's the name of the game. And we have to find it. We have to figure it out. We have to work hard. It's not that it will just come easy. If it will come easy, then you didn't gain anything. How they say here, no pain, no gain. Or if you want to take to the same level of an example, go to a a a gym can be the best gym in town. If you just sit on the on the chair and not do nothing, the gym won't do nothing to you. You need to do some action. So even if you start moving your limbs, nothing will happen because you need resistance. If there's no resistance, there's going to be any type of development. So this world is catered and created in a way that for the unnaked eye you don't see anything that here is godly and nothing here is connected to God. Now starts the name of the game and the title is hust concealment. If there wouldn't be a concealment, if you would see Hashem for one second, would you have any yet? Would you have any type of desire other than just jumping on Hashem? Would you have any desire to do something wrong? No. If you would see Hashem for one second, a you would be filled with such a fear to this gigantic thing that you would even blink without thinking what's going to be the reaction. So, Hashem says, "Listen, then there's no point here. Then I can't give you any score. There's no going to be any points giving here because I'm right in front of you. The point is that you need to work hard." So the factory er mode or how they say to reset to factory mode. The factory mode is that you don't see anything. You don't know anything. Nothing makes sense. Anything that will come to you in a form of a spiritual god doesn't make sense. Not in this world. That's where we start. And then of course we start growing and growing and growing and starting to be exposed that there's a creator and so forth. Therefore we all share this topic and it doesn't matter if you are complete atheist doesn't believe in the Torah doesn't know that there's a god complete newbie or if you are already 40 years trying to reach up to Hashem and finding all sorts of struggles. Therefore, it suits everybody because we all are in a level of husten reached a level that he wasn't. But we're not going to be ever in that level. And great great sages that we will never reach to their level reach to a little level of revelation. We're not in that level. We're not on that track. But that is by the way the the the point of this creation. If you want to ask a general question, not your purpose. What's the purpose of a human being in this world? I'm not talking about something personal to you. I'm talking about in a general thing that we have to do in this world is to reach to a level of connection with the kadosh. That's what that's the the point. That's the target. When I come to this world in Hebrew, the entire purpose why I'm here is for me to reach to some type of closeness to God. Means dev is glue means that I glue myself. What does it mean really mean to connect myself that I'm connected to the master of the universe and the reality the mitsy the consciousness so to say is not the body is our soul so I'm a visitor in this world my essence my reality what's called is my right now it's stationed in a body that the body is adjusted to this world and the nama is the driver of the of the body. Now the body is serving the the nama in this world. But nevertheless the body is the kisoui is the cover over the soul. Now the soul is in this world. It would want to do things but it has no ability. The soul if the soul would be in control then it would only do mitzvot only learn Torah never do any sin but the covers are so thick from the soul to shine out of the body that in a average person the body doesn't feel anything from the soul nothing complete silence the soul has no say and needless to say the more the person refineses themsself then these layers that cover the soul they start being removed and then the light of the soul starts shining with within and that's how the person slowly slowly grows in their path. But the reality is that throughout the path the customer the the the the settings of the of the factory is that we don't see Hashem in anything in this world. Take now a person put them from baby on an private island when there's have no exposure to spirituality and only is educated in a certain way which is kind of what's happening in most of the world but just for the sake of the example that person will never have any thought of a creator or any thought or belief that there's a soul and he came down because he was injected from day one the complete opposite that's the sheer of the world that's what we are dealing with in a level that it's not in our level to fight, but that's what we're dealing with right now. The darkness in this world is affected by force. A group of people that is called and they're darkening the world. Hashem, Hashem says yes, they say no. Hashem says up, they say down. Whatever is contradicting the Torah, that's how they present everything. And we're all subject to that education from day one. We are born into this world and from day one you are educated that the world is such and such years created. Yesterday I was in a shabbaton on Shabbat. I'm sitting in a with a person seems very intelligent seems also very learned and then she tells me oh I cracked the code how old the world is. And I was like wow maybe she's going to give me some something I never heard of. 74 billion years. Oh I know. Come on. That's where your mind is. That the world is 74 billion years and you figured it out from a fossil or whatever. So, we are brought into this world and from day one we are already programmed that this world is no God. Whether it's Hashem's desire or not, it's debatable. I think it's Hashem's desire. I mean, after all, anything that happens is is Hashem's desire. Nothing happens here without Hashem governing it. So if Hashem wants the concealment to be in such a way that the truth of this entire world is contradicting him, let it be says Hashem. The harder the game is. Go ahead. Therefore the evil has some freeway, some green light to act in this world. Because if there wouldn't be this force of evil, there wouldn't be this resistance cuz everything would be good. Then everything would be perfect. And needless to say, if I would just be exposed to one glimpse of Hashem, then the whole game is off. Trust me, if you would see Hashem for one second, you there wouldn't be the concept of going to a different direction. Of course, he would be observant from morning to night, from top to bottom. Needless to say, if you would have just one glimpse of how it looks up there, then you would value what every little second and action does in this world. So there there wouldn't be even a con comparison. But that's the name of the game that you don't have it. You know, many people tell me, "Ah, I wish if I had a near-death experience like, you know, I would also be don't don't wish for something you don't want to you don't want to know if you you can handle or not." But nevertheless, I understand the attitude. Yeah, if I would see something, it would be easier. Then you know, when something comes sweets from Hashem, it's wrapped with a lot of bitterness. So don't don't wish for something that might be beyond what you can handle. But nevertheless, my entire existence is to find my connection to Hashem. Not to be successful in business, not to be a great artist or a great doctor or to be a great scholar or to be an amazing teacher. My entire purpose as a human being, not as a personal purpose is to reach to a level of unity with the kadosh. And that's my purpose because this world is going to pass so fast like a blink of an eye. Blink of an eye. You all notice it. I don't need to even question you at this point. how everything goes so fast. You dodah, boom, you don't even blink. It's already another Shabbat, right? I can't even believe that it's Shah in less than two weeks. I was here last year, remember? >> Well, not here in but here in Miami. >> A year. >> You know, I also have the the sin of having a smartphone. I don't go like this like you. [laughter] I use it to broadcast Torah to the world. But nevertheless, I hold this majun in my hand. And all the time it shows me on the front page what I did exactly a year ago. Oh, it's like you you feel like useless when you see what that was a year ago. I I thought it was like three weeks ago. what did I do a whole year? >> And now when you do chuvul you look back you're like wow this year just zoom through like so it's just going to get faster and faster. So if you're not focused on the major point in this creation you are completely missing the point. You will find yourself unhappy. You will never be successful. You never reach what you want for yourself. Never find true happiness in your heart. only going through dead ends which is sounding familiar to most people and it's only because you're not walking on the path to find where can I get connected to Hashem if I'm connected to Hashem everything will come down exactly how it should for you to understand the concept of this connection to Hashem take now a cup of water in this cup of water there's whatever six seven ounces of water the water now is individual water. That's me. Now take this water and pour it into the ocean. Now this water is completely emerged with the entire ocean and you will never be able to take out exactly what was in the cup. It's already part of the entire ocean. And hypothetically the ocean is connected in hundreds and thousands of miles. So that that drop that dropped here is connected to the drop over there. That's the mashal, the parable of me being connected to the master of the universe. Right now, I'm not connected. I'm in a cup. I'm isolated. I'm in existence. And you I have an ego. I have feelings. I have desires. I have lusts cuz I'm I'm disconnected. So, I feel myself as my own existence. When was the last time you felt Hashem? Be honest. >> Right now. >> Last night. >> This morning. >> Okay. Few cute sadikim here in Miami. [laughter] >> I know you can be humble and cute and impress Hashem and say I feel him all the time. I feel it all the time too. But let's like feel fire. >> You never felt that by the way. So don't tell me you feel it. If you would felt that already, you would be somewhere else. But not trying to insult anyone. And I also feel Hashem I I agree with you. But the reality is that to imagine Hashem is in complete revelation in me without me outside when we not in that level had that mashia is going to come then we're going to go back to that level that we feel the master of the universe but right now I'm isolated. I feel myself as an existence. I've been saying that many many times in my lectures. Always put Hashem number one because you know most people put Hashem number two but by default and you might not understand what I'm talking about but you'll if you look at yourself you see that you'll see that many of the times you put your desire first before you need to do something that is to do with Hashem. So once I take this water and I pour it into the big ocean then it's emerged with everything. This is compared to going back to the source. Now once the mo is emerged with everything it's one with all the water. Once I become connected to Hashem I don't lose my selfness. I don't lose my individuality but I'm connected with everything. Can you imagine this connection? This connection and it's all consciousness. So now in this world I will never reach to this connection. Can you imagine like in a level of a sadic that sits and looks at you and he he doesn't need to even he talks to your soul. He sees everything about you. There's no barriers. Imagine the entire world would be like that. And of course, we would all be connected to Hashem. But right now, you don't have it. When you get connected to the master of the universe conscious wise, you become one with everything. Now imagine the greatness of Hashem. Can you imagine becoming one with that one cup of water doesn't affect the ocean, but the ocean affects the water. So I become one with the do you understand the depth of what it means? Now if I have sins can I be connected to Hashem? I can't be connected. There'll be a separation. So I want this connection. I need to remove this exterior part. That's what you're battling with every day for the last 40 50 60 20 years. That's what you are being battling and that's what you're going to continue battling. In one way you are producing all the time sin. So you need to control that damage control reduce that. But then you need to build constantly this connection with the master of the universe because that's your purpose. If you think you have any other purpose, you are wrong big time. Now once you focus on the ring per with the real purpose of I want to reach to a level of connection with Hashem, Hashem will bring you your wife or your husband. Hashem will make your sakam easy, your livelihood. Your Torah learning will be efficient. You will actually learn and internalize the Torah and you will remember it and you'll be able to give it over. That's already different type of level to understand it in a way to explain it. Your relationships will be better. Your refinement will be in a total different level because you're inviting Hashem into your life. You can't see, you can't feel, but you're making so much room to the master of the universe. Then everything will fall into place. Exactly. You don't need to you don't need to run after anything. You know, we just read paras. Right before all the curses, it says this is if you want to see the reference is in the fifth aliyah that it says that if you should listen to the word of Hashem and walk in the path he wants you to walk on all the blessings means they will come to you. You don't have to go anywhere. the will come to you. Now, if you're using basic Hebrew means they're not only going to catch up to you, they're going to pass you. If I'm driving on 60 miles an hour and you 90, you're going further than me. So, I'm going to get more than what I can handle. And that's what we just read yesterday. Well, two days ago. See how fast I'm I forget that it's Monday. I'm still I have the smell of the chunt here [laughter] and it's already Monday. But nevertheless, that's what the parasa says. I mean, I I'm hoping that you got my video before Shabbat that if you read the parak on the entire parasa, read it yourself, especially with you, you had the video, you saw this, some of you, all of you. Then the the the the the end the year ends and with it ends all my problems, all my all my and right before we read this, the Torah tells you you're not requested to invest millions. You're not requested to do operations to change how you look and stand in front of the mirror five hours before the dead. You're not requested to do that. It will come to you. Can you imagine everything you want just comes to you? So I can testify it works. You do what you need to do to connect yourself to Hashem. Everything comes to you. But take into consideration that also the negative things come to you. That's where you need to start chewing it. But nevertheless, I don't go after different things. You know how many people turn to me in the world of Torah telling me I started doing shor I started recording it I did a YouTube asking me how how did you get big how did you advertise how did you get so known what what do you do what share some tricks or whatever tricks of the trade should I do this should I do that what should I focus on and the first thing I say as advice don't ask don't run after the success. Teach the Torahem Shine. If Hashem wants a thousand people to hear it, a thousand people will hear it. If Hashem wants a million people to hear it, because your Torah is full of humility, a million people will hear it. It will be shared. And if you are a pot, then three people will hear it. A hundred would listen and won't hear anything. And three women will get something because you're coming with arrogance. If Hashem wants you famous, he'll make you famous. If Hashem wants your Torah to affect a lot of people, he will allow it to happen. If you are not affecting a lot of people, obviously your Torah is not ready for that. So, in my territory, in my let's call it my my niche. I don't run after like, oh, I need to get a lot of likes and I need to get the subscribers. And that's not the that's not the point. The point is to to to teach dua in a simple way that another person can benefit apply and move on. What will come out of that? Whatever Hashem wants. Whatever Hashem wants, that's what's going to happen. So this is applicable to anything. You focus too much on something, you are pushing it away from you. In Hebrew we say so much trees I can't even see the forest because you're focusing on the multitude amount of trees. You're not focusing on the forest. And that's what most people do. They don't focus on what they need to focus on. They focus on very minor things. So a we need to understand that my existence my true existence the me is my soul. This me that talks to you all day long. yourself that is the one that feels all the emotions and the voice that talks to you and you your consciousness that's your cannot be changed cannot be reprogrammed cannot be convinced anything other than that there's the Torah and Hashem but it's a prisoner the more you will release this prisoner the prisoner will be in in control that means that every time that there's a desire The nishama now has something to say here. Every time that there's a situation, the wisdom of the nama interferes and it will come in many different ways. Whether in your wisdom, whether with your h how you call it here, intuition, clarity, emotions, you you'll see it. We let let once the prisoner out. The problem is that we we were the prisoner is barely barely out. So once I understand that that's my entire existence is my soul and it's important to me to feed the soul and not the body. The body becomes secondary to the soul and my ultimate purpose is to find through this difficult maze of this world the way back to my source. That's this. That's my purpose. How do I find Hashem in this world? This person will find Hashem in this town, in this city, in this country, in this group of people, in this that's his way to find Hashem. And that other person on the other side of the world will find Hashem in a completely different way. Different customs, different group of people, different prayer book, same God, different gate, different gate. And another person will find Hashem in tragedy and another person will find Hashem in success. You are required to find the kanosh the difficulties half are given to you by hashem and the rest are your responsibility. So once you internalize that and you understand that that's the main now you're ready to go to the next level. In order for me to understand the next level I have to understand that my soul has three stations. First station is before it comes down to this world. This station, this stage is called the preparation. The soul is being prepared to come down to this world and to achieve great revelations and closeness to Hashem etc. The next station is when the soul comes down to this world and now it has to operate in this world 60 years 80 years whatever Hashem GL gives you. It gets tools first of all it gets a vehicle. Each vehicle will be connected to the tikun. The person gets all the tools that he needs. The personality, the character traits, the talents, the desires, the hobbies, everything is all given. That's your kaleim. Cle is a tool. If I'm a carpenter, then I need a hammer and I need screwdriver and I need a few other other tools. If you are a dentist, you can't use my tools. Oavo, if you would use my tools on your on your patient because my tools are to bring down walls. Your tools are very precise. So each and every one of us gets their toolbox. Your personality, your character traits, your weaknesses, your desires, your dreams, your your your the tastes for everything. You like blue, you like sweet, everything. It's all your second stage tun. You're in this world. You're a visitor here. You're coming here for whatever amount of time. You get a vehicle and you get all your tools. Go and work. You just don't know what's the job yet. And of course, place number three, this is the that's when I reach to my connection with Hashem that I desired for and that's in the world to come. Three stages. If you live your life for every payment of the mortgage, you're in the wrong path. If every month is the your how do you call it the rat race, the struggle, the mindset and and tomorrow is the first, right? >> You know, I also live in this world. You know what happens to me on the first? >> Same thing. What happens to you? >> I also have mortgage and payments and insurance and tuition. And I I am not different than you by the way in any type of a way and probably more than you because I have many responsibilities. You know how much responsibilities I have on and I didn't ever ask for these responsibilities by the way. That's part of what I need to do that I'm not asking any questions. But I also have that but I don't have that in the back of my mind. Oh my god, how am I going to pay the next payment? What am I going to do? This job didn't work. How many I don't have that in my mind because that's not my part. I'm not the the treasurer. I told it to Hashem a long time ago. I'm not the treasurer of the organization. You worry about the money. You worry about finances. I mean, and you know, everything works out. Everything everything always works out. Never have $1 extra, but everything works out. A month and a half, I'm on tour now. thousands of dollars just flights and cars and Airbnb and somehow everything is working out. I don't even have a dollar but everything works out. Everything is paid. Whenever a next payment needs to come, something happened. That's why it's called a nonforprofit. I'm not here for pro. So if there's money has addresses, money comes in, goes out. But I don't have the concern that you have because it's not my concern. Now once you understand this concept and you wake up into this world and understand, okay, I need to find Hashem. That's the name of the game. The first barrier you are going to meet in this world is a force. There we look at it as a force of evil. It's a spiritual force manifested into physical things. And this force is called amalik. You heard about the amale. You may be acquainted as a nation in the Torah. Amalecch is a spiritual force. When the kanoshbu needed to create this concealment, he created many different layers and ways to conceal himself. And in order and again the how everything is done is not so important right now. But he created these forces to conceal the godly revelation. Can you imagine like the greatness of Hashem to create a force that hides him. This force is called kipa. A shell a husk. Now there's not only one kipa. There are many types of kipot. Every kipa has a characteristic to it. Kipat median if you heard of the nation one of the seven nations that's one type of kipa it has a certain purpose different type of kipa you can look at it as a spiritual force that is coming to darken this the godly light that is supposed to shine from within you create the kipa with your actions in many of the cases you are born with the kipa because you were born into sin in many that's most of us by the way there are many different forms The kipa that is one of the most powerful one and probably will be the hardest to deal with and it's not even asked to even fight it. It's a fight of hashem. It's kipa that is called amalik. Amalik is the numerical value of 240. Same numerical value of the word in Hebrew suffk doubt. Ironically it's the same numerical value of the word dollar. [laughter] I'm not saying anything. I'm just saying >> same numerical value. >> Which [snorts] if you take a dollar bill, it says on the top in God we trust. >> So I don't know. I'm not saying anything. I'm just saying that Malik his job is to penetrate doubt into your heart that there's a God. That's why he's called the Malik. That's the job of this spiritual force. And this spiritual force is so powerful that it can manifest and dress into physical things. It will control you in any way it wants to. The job is to cool you down. That cools you down. You're sitting here now all excited. You're already thinking, I'm doing this. I'm going to do that tomorrow. I'm waking up 6:00 in the morning. Mick venets. You just leave this room. Amalecch sends you a message from from from Instagram. Your distraction is now to the screen and before you know it, Amalecch penetrated into the system, turned the AC on and cooled you down. All excitement cooled down. The job of this double agent is to place doubt in your heart. What's the doubt? That there's a creator. Now you take most people in the world and ask them if they believe that there's a creator they'll tell yeah I do. So obviously Amalecch didn't reach the doubt in that level right. So now let's start let's analyze this AML and how it penetrates and what needs to be done. But you have to understand that the force that you are fighting with and there are many other forces that's the main force that is next to you all day long. And in any situation that something happens it doesn't go to your brain because the brain is smart and there's common sense. does prove to me the heart is where you weak. So Mal goes into your heart and places doubt that the creator is involved or there is even a creator or something that happened. That's the hand of the creator that's the job of Amalik. Therefore he will come to you in so many different ways. Therefore there amalik is considered a shape shifter. Somebody actually today asked me shape. They can actually shape shift. Say yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But mainly in their theme, how they come to you, how the amal comes to you one way like this, bump them like that. More smarter than you think. So once you understand that that's the force you're fighting with, let's go to the next level. Alishan when he came to this world everything that I'm talking about had that he had this in the he had this unity that he would walk in Ganedan talk to Hashem eat from the fruit the raak would say the eating from the fruit is not that he ate a apricot and a and a orange he was bringing down godly revelations godly sparks into the world and so to say consuming it. That's his vikot. And then he sinned. Look how the trick came. The nash came into Ganedan. Well, the truth is he didn't even step into Ganedan. He was outside. He was not allowed to go in. And is the serpent. Don't imagine some cobra or some spaghetti going into Ganed. The nash looked like anishon like a human being. He was cursed to become a serpent. his how he came was in a tricky way like a serpent. >> But he didn't come to them in with all sorts of ways either than putting the doubt that there's the kadosh. He didn't say oh if you eat from the fruit you won't die. You know what I mean? He didn't say if you eat from the fruit you won't die. He said if you eat from your fruit from the fruit your eyes will open and you'll be like a god because if he would come and say oh if you would eat from it you won't die that's not of a good of a explanation but saying if you eat from it then your eyes will open and you'll be like god he came and brought doubt in what Hashem said showing to us that That that's how the nash that's how Malik works. He will bring a situation. Oh no no no you're not going to die but another thing will happen. Up until today we are doing the tikun for Adam. We are doing the tikun for what he damaged thousands of years ago. If you remember, Adamishan sinned a few hours before Shabbat. And originally, that's what he was created for, to observe Shabbat. Now, Adamishan, if you remember the story, got kicked out of Ganedan. Was about to get kicked out of Ganedan right before Shabbat. Came to Shabbat to the Kadhu and says, "Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why you kicking him out? You promised me that I need a mate, a other half, a benzoo." And he says for Sunday you created everything with a mates. Monday, Tuesday you, me, you didn't create. And what did Hashem says? No problem. Adamarishon will sanctify the Shabbat. Will observe Shabbat. That will be your spiritual wedding. And that's why you have your husband. Therefore, was allowed to stay in Ganed for Shabbat. And right after Shabbat went out, boom, out. And up until today, we can't get into Ganedan. And you know why? Because the second that got kicked out, you know how when you go to parking lots, there's these spikies? >> You know how you you have in these parking lots these spikies that if you go in the right way, then they go down. If you go the wrong way, then you don't have tires. That's what happened to Adam when he went out of who put an angel there that has a double-edged sword. A double-edged sword. And the sword is what's called a upside down sword. The sharpness, the the fearlessness or the heat of this upside down sword can come into. And I know you were all imagining some knight with a sword, but this is an angel. This is a little bit of a different thing than what we're imagining. And why it's called a person will come down to this world to fight all these is everything that contradicts common sense. Everything that is opposite of what he wants, all these challenges. That's why we can't get into Ganedan. Now when you know how to flip it, then you can go into Ganedan. You're done. But what is this upside down sword into in reality to my world is all this challenges that I'm going through. Because when comes a challenge, let me tell it different. If everything is perfect and you have a lot a lot of money and your health you're like first one in the gym and your wow eight hours a day you you learn Torah your relationship with your wife is amazing money is just coming from all directions. Can you imagine like a perfect life everything if life would be perfect would I be searching for Hashem? Why would I search for Hashem when I have three cars and a $5 million house and a yacht and money and health and happiness and and and I'm on the path of Torah? Not that I'm a Why would I seek Hashem? Everything's great. It takes one out of a million to be in that state and be thanking Hashem all day long. You forget Hashem very fast. So, Hashem has to constantly put you in situations that are challenges because that's how you start working. That's how you start searching for Hashem one way or another. Now the big question is if you are able to see Hashem in the challenge or not. So 50 minutes of an introduction to give you an explanation of two minutes. So let's recap before we continue. A my existence is my soul nothing else. I need to worry about my soul. I need to understand that there's a soul. I need to nourish the soul. I need to protect my soul. Not so existence. And why? Because the same way that I take care of my body because I want at my later years in life to have a nice life. Do I take care of my body? And I'm not saying it now as a parable. I'm telling you myself. I'm 51 years old. In a few weeks, I'm 52. I work out. I eat healthy. I don't want to be like an old man like that. [laughter] I want to be like many old men that they're in their 80s and 90s and they sharp as a whistle pray, do things. And there shouldn't be a reason why not. But you need to take care of yourself. You need to sleep well. You need to eat well. You need to work out. Why am I doing that? because I want my late years of life not to be bound to a bed and I want to be useful. I want to be still teaching. I don't want to be in a bed like that. Now what Hashem wants that's up to Hashem but that's I need to do some some type of a effort. So that's my effort. >> Why? Because I will reap the rewards. The same exact attitude. I take care of my soul because it will it's for eternity. So why would I want to take care of my soul? So first of all I have to understand my existence is my is my soul. What is my true purpose is to reach true unity with Hashem. How I was brought down to this world to fight desires to fight challenges to be in situations that I don't know how to get out of and eventually reveal the light of my nama and create this unity with Hashem and that and I fulfilled what I needed in this world. Trust me, you do not want to leave this world feeling that you didn't didn't achieve anything. And the best way to focus on that is on Friday to sit for five minutes and to ask yourself, was your week good? Was your week efficient? Were you able to do whatever you needed to do this week? Same thing onesh. Same thing now on the entire year. Can you now come and tell me yeah my year was productive successful all the goals that I wanted to do I did 80% of them most people the week pass the month pass the year pass you're in the same place same situation same I don't want to say what most people say here in America it doesn't sound so nice and it's not so appropriate but same it's different day >> right So no, every day has to be completely different. Once I understand this that I need to pursue running after Hashem, then I am ready for the battle. Then I'm introduced to my opponent. Only one out of many. That's a Malik. He's going to wait in every situation to make sure that my step that I did with sweat and blood, he's going to push me three steps back. Be ready for the for the fight. You say one, he will say two. Once I understand that this is the fight because Hashem is not going to give you something for free. He's not going to give you something without squeezing the juice out of you. Anything that you want that you want it to be valuable and stay, Hashem will squeeze your juice till the last drop till you get it so you will appreciate it. Once we understand all that and I know that my life is designed to deal with challenges, now comes the million-dollar question. Can you see Hashem in the challenge? Now, I know a lot of you will say, "Yeah, of course I see. There are four levels where each and every one of us are in. And each level allows you to remove these concealments and to get more connected with Hashem. The first level is the lowest of all. Of course, the name of this level is called shuf. How would you translate? Including >> sharing? Not really. Sharing. Yeah, I'll tell you in a second why I think including is better. >> No, no, no, no, no, no. Wait, wait. >> Give me a second and you'll see why I think that sharing is less good and including is a more good of an attitude. What's the definition of that level is that I attach a reason for everything that happens based on physical things. Why did this happen? Cuz I forgot the key so I was late. And okay, why didn't this deal work out? Cuz I didn't invest enough in advertising. The logo didn't look good. They will attach a physical excuse for every situation that happens. But to give some credit to this person, he still will pray for Hashem to bless him. That's why he's including Hashem in his plans. You understand why I said including and rather than sharing. In Hebrew, it's called I'm including you in my plans. So the person believes in everything of his actions. He opens a business. He does whatever he needs to do to make the business successful. And he prays for Hashem to bless him that the business will be successful. But he knows that the success is dependent 100% on him. If he wakes up early, not wake up early, do the sale better, present it like this, show it like that. Therefore, he believes 100% in himself and his abilities, but he's including Hashem in his plans by saying, "Please, if you don't mind, like something very low level." Now again, don't get locked on the example that I gave you. It will relate to any person that the theme is that everything that happens there's a reason for that. Like not like saying, "Oh, there's a reason from Hashem." They will find the reason physically why it happened. But to some extent they they do turn into Hashem in one way or another. That's a very very low level. Now I know a lot of people say in that level because in this level it kind of sounds like all I need to do is a little effort, right? So I think I'm going to break a little myth to you today because a lot of people say in these situations all you need to do is someh some effort. How many times did you hear that that you need to do some nobody comes and tells you what does it mean or how much of it and I can tell you already that won't do any action your effort won't change anything in the situation you are in by the way the effort that you put does only one thing it creates a vessel a vessel where the godly blessing and light can dwell That's your ether than that it doesn't matter that what's what wants that's what's going to happen. Don't be fooled by people telling you you have to do an effort. Yeah, but how much? What does it mean effort? The second level that's maybe a little bit more common. It's called the need. Where is the person in that level? He knows that there's nature and there's rules to nature, but he also knows that Hashem governs the nature. And not only that governs the nature that controls everything. And the parable to that level is imagine now a person looking through a little lock hole and they see a person writing but they only see a hand and a pen. Okay. So in that level the hand and the pen are writing. Then he opens the door and the vision widens. Now he sees that it's actually a person that is writing and the hand is really just just the end but the person is the one who's writing. That level is that I know that there's a God that creates everything but I'm still in the level that I just see the hand. I know that the God creates, controls, governs, but I don't see the full thing. I just see the hand. And of course, needless to say that in this level, Amalecch has very easy effort to get into your system and to make you completely shattered and definitely not find any connection to Hashem. That's the specialtity of Amalecch. The third level which is where you wish to be and this level is called there's no such thing as nature. Everything is Hashem and Now a lot of people say on Milvador some wear the shirts an ovado but they don't really live in Odilv. That's why I said that's the level we all wish to get to that there is no nature. I won't even come and tell you it happened because this and because it happened because that's what Hashem wanted it to happen exactly to the point. No excuses. No because of this not because of that. I have no control here. What happened is the 100% the design of the kadesh how he does it that's not my even my issue when you're in this level am is very difficult to get into your system because he can't come to you with words of doubts because you already disdoubted him before he even came with any doubt very hard level to reach. And the fourth level is that everything is nature. Third level no nature. The fourth level is everything is nature or the cababalistic term is called the destruction of holiness. Do you seek da here? No, you don't seek ducha. You never sought ducha. If you would seeka, you would faint. Kusha means holiness. We don't see any here. Which means that everything here is there's no kusha here. Can you see Hashem? Can't see nothing from Hashem. Can you understand Hashem? Can you understand what he does? Let's talk. Let's cut to the chase. Told mute. You don't see. You don't know. You don't understand. You think you understand cuz some rabbi told you something. It's not even in that can. We are completely blind in this world. But in the level that is the numerical value of the word well to be more exact nature is the numerical value of Hashem's name Elohim which means that everything that we see and we perceive it as nature that's really a godly revelation. So when I'm saying it means that the purpose of nature is to conceal Hashem. So that means that everything that happens is a concealment of Hashem. Now try to figure out what's the concealment. That's in a much higher level. Amal has no place there. I cannot come there and tell you anything else because you're already locked on the fact that the nature everything here was created for one purpose to hide Hashem. Everything everything that you can think of is to hide Hashem. Now once I understand that everything is Hashem but everything is here to hide Hashem. Can a Malle come and put any doubt in my mind? I'm totally blocked on the there's nothing else but the kad that's the end of now what would be my focus for one second that I should not lose this connection with the kad how do I maintain that then I have a whole manual how to do it that's it very very simple I know it sounds simple but it's not now what's the only way. There's no two ways. The only way to remove this concealment to go out of the >> What do you think? >> Okay. >> Hit. Okay. That's pretty cheap. >> Say, but no. Okay. Okay. So, we have chuva and mitzvot. What else do you think is the only way to get out of the concealment to remove the concealment? >> That's also nice. >> Huh? >> Okay, I'll tell you cuz you're not even in the direction. >> Emerging in Torah. >> Learning Torah. He said emerging in Torah. Learning Torah. That's the only way to get out of the astar. When you learn Torah, but really learn Torah. I can tell you that most people don't really learn Torah. And no offense watching a video on YouTube, that's not really learning Torah. I mean, it's better than the junk you see, but learning Torah is with a book that you read and figure it out by yourself to a point that you're able to give it over to a little kid. the Torah becomes part of you. How do we know that? Where do we bring this reference? So the Zor says there's a verse in the Torah book of chapter 25 verse 2. Hashem talks to Moshe and he tells them, Hashem tells Moshe, talk to them and have them take an offering from every person whose heart inspires him to generosity. Now comes a lot a lot of questions on this verse. Nothing makes sense here grammatically even on this verse. Now when is this trauma? When is this contribution is being collected? when we have beta mikdash we don't do it in another time how we do it with makita beta mikdash for us to understand the concept because everybody says I want to see beta mikdash and beta mikdash and beta mikdash most people don't even know nothing about beta mikdash even the basic thing but nevertheless it's good to cheer but beta mikdash is really the link between the spiritual world and the physical world that's the purpose of beta mikdash So it's not necessarily an architectural structure. It's the link between the spiritual world and the physical world. That's the job of beta mikdash. That's how sacred and special it is. And by the way, even what after I said now we can really relate what does it really mean? The link between the spiritual and the physical. Well, in beta mikdash the dwells. Theina is a godly revelation in the physical world. That's what they saw in beta mdash. They saw theina. Do you ever see a book that says a description how it looked? You ever found that says how the looked something? >> No. Doesn't say about how the looks. We don't know how the looks. How didn't they they documented it when they saw it? because there's no words to describe how the looks. Doesn't matter what you're going to write, you're not going to be able to describe it. But nevertheless, in beta midash, the dwells something spiritual in a physical world. A spiritual revelation in a physical world. And until you see it with your own eyes, you won't understand what it means. >> But the dwells in beta mikdash. Whoever has a peace in beta mikdash then has a peace in the shina. So hashem says everyone should have a peace in beta mikdash. Therefore everyone should be bring a small contribution for not asking a lot. Now you have a contribution to beta mikdash. You have a connection which means that you have a part of beta mikdash. Now you have part of the that was the concept behind it. Every person will bring a little piece. That's it. Something small. But you have a partnership in mikdash. Better stock than that. Much better than Bitcoin and definitely much better than SpaceX. Have an investment in beta mikdash. That's it. Every person has a little investment. So comes and says so wise it says first of all you should say means and they gave and they take so they take from me the donation comes and says you give then you get therefore the verse in the Torah says why because you you you gave something in that second you already took to your portion. You can't get if you don't give. It's never going to work. More than that, the Z says why does Hashem says means on Hashem? What am I taking Hashem? When I do this act, then I take Hashem. I connect myself to the master of the universe. That's how this all says. You want this closeness to Hashem then you need to give a tuma you need to give something and by default you you are a receiver not a taker very very simple so when it says how by this contribution then they take a piece of me that's Russian tells you give a contribution then you get a piece of me the soul says what's so powerful about it because if you take the word and cut it up a little bit, it's what it's called. You take the he out, sorry, you take the me of toma out, it's torame me. The Torah was given in 40 days. Me is 40. The Torah was given 40 days in the in the mountain. So to is not what you think. Give me now a check. I know you're looking at me like, "Oh, now he's going to hit us with a fundraiser." So, I'm not telling you to write a check. The isra the contribution is the Torah that was given in 40 days. So, the says you want to remove this, you have to learn to everybody in their level and what they're able to. Nobody will do it for you. Nobody can do it for you and you should do it for yourself. Now, if you really want to have a connection to the master of the universe, don't you think that you need to know a little bit the system, his language, how he's operating, so the more Torah you learn, the more you are revealing this godly light, then everything starts removing the doubts, the misunderstandings. And in many of the cases, that's where a male will come in the beginning because you're going to learn a lot of Torah and you're going to forget it the next day or all sorts of doubts are going to come with whatever you learned Malik is sitting to you in the yeshiva. Why did the why is that suddenly you come up with all sorts of your own opinions? But it doesn't happen overnight. The this relationship is something that you need to build throughout the entire entire life. The conclusion or if we want to title what we just said is I want to bring in light and by default the kipa runs away. That's it. Now you take all this information in the month of alul where you are not only required to do chuva you want to do chuva it's the month that you don't have to do much effort for your chuva. That's the the the characteristic of the month that there's so much so much mercy. You don't have to do much. You just need to be there. You need to do the minimum. Of course, the more you do the better. But the idea of alul is to prepare yourself to you can't do. You have to arrive to sh ready. Therefore, the earlier you start, the better are your chances. when you arrive into Shah that's the judgment day that's when the kadu judges each and every one of us I don't need to elaborate on that I'm sure you heard many lectures in the last few weeks and in the last 10 years that you're attending lectures you heard all the you heard all the theiks all the slogans what happens why happens but then the bottom line is comes the last day of and you didn't do 1% of what you're running to do really and you're coming into Shat what we call in Hebrews clutch. I don't even know how to translate that in into English. Clutch for the older generation is the third pedal on the left. And the young generation don't even know what it is. But to shift the gears, you need to put the clutch. And if you do the clutch halfway, that's clutch. You got the point, right? So now is left actions. If you don't apply action then you don't create the vessel that the light should shine in. So I think you I think I made the concept clear. That's very simple. Life becomes very simple. By the way don't over complicate life. Know that a is always there every time you learn. I mean people come to me with questions. I'm like, "No, not really." Sometimes people come to me with questions. I'm like, "You're not even level one and you're in level minus 4." Skype type of a question. And I simplified everything. By the way, it's not so simple. But if you follow that, that's the medicine to remove the concealments. which means that the challenges you're going to have are going to minimize. You're going to be able to deal with them in a way that you reveal Hashem in this situation. And then you see all the kindness and the goodness and the unbelievable Hashem, how he saved you from this marriage and saved you from that deal and saved you from this accident. And Hashem is moving things and you complaining and whining and why is this and why is that? And Hashem is taking you first class to where you need to go. And instead of you know you revealing Hashem in the situation ding you're one step closer then you overco complicate too much things with your partner on a leg that throws all these ideas in your mind and now you came up with a completely new theory and if you think and you're sitting and looking at me and saying to yourself I'm not in that group then I'm like has you wrapped around his finger. [snorts] If you're saying, "I'm not in any of these groups." You should be lucky if you can place yourself in group number one, by the way. And I'm not saying it in a way to insult you. I'm saying it in where the reality is. And the way for you to know is how do you react when a challenge hit? How do you react? Do you start laughing? Do you start dancing? Do you go to prem? What do you do? He started crying. What do you do when when when when when things get bad? Most people crawl into their bed or light up a joint or take a a shot. What are you laughing at? I'm I'm just saying the reality. I'm not saying good or bad. I'm telling you what really happens. People don't know how to deal with their with their life. They go to alcohol, to drugs, to severe drugs, gambling, all these outlets where I need new, you know, some some new things to get me off. then you're riding away from your reality. The challenges and the difficulties is what designs your path. That's what you are here for is to work through the challenge. And then when you do it the right way, then of course you reveal Hashem in the matter and then you can slowly slowly safely reach to a higher level and a higher level and besides that that's your purpose and that's what you want. You do not want to come to the last day of this world and take your last breath and said, "I missed this entire 80 years opportunity." And no offense, that's what happens to most people. They reach to the last day of their life or they realize that three months before they die and they're like, "I didn't do nothing in this world. I didn't achieve nothing. I ran after nonsense. I consider myself blessed and lucky that I came to that realization when I was 27. Hashem forced it on me, but nevertheless, I came to that realization." Most people come to that realization when they're 82. So don't miss the opportunity. Don't let the time pass. Don't move away from the focus. That's what a Malik does. He blurs everything. He moves you from the focus. You will never reveal Hashem in any situation when you have a Malik. So really, besides that, it's your purpose. That's that's really the secret you're looking for. And I know a lot of people saying because I said the exact same thing. So what? I need to look like this now to reach to this. I need to you need to look however you want to look. But there's no difference between me and you. The Torah doesn't say that if you are between the ages of 40 and 50 and you live in South Florida, you are exempt from praying ma. >> If it says that I need to pray MKA, you need to pray MK exactly like me. Whether you have a long beard, you don't have a long beard, you wear a kipa, you don't wear a kipa, it doesn't really matter. I have to observe Shabbat, you have to observe Shabbat. Whether I do it better than you, it's irrelevant. We're all equal. There's no difference. If you are Cohen, then you are getting two extra points. No. So, you make your calculations how you want your life to be. I learned a long time ago that it's better to let a shim drive because I don't even know where I'm going in this world. I'm just going to get lost running to dead ends. It's not it's a little bit scary to let Hashem drive, but the reality is that he's already driving. So give him the recognition. Just realize that that Hashem is doing everything. The good, the bad, the evil, the amazing. You are the one who keeps bumping into the dead ends and every it's like stupidity, arrogance. If you would be able to hear where you failing and really when you step out of your own for a you can see how you are behaving that's where anavar is required that's why Hashem put in front of you all the mirrors that you need to see your wife your husband your boss your neighbor all the annoying people in the world are there on purpose 100% and you're getting upset at them but they're there for too because you need to work on your anger and you need to work on your patience and you need to work on forgiving and you need to work on yourself. So, what better way if I have some, you know, characters to help me do that? I'm I'm won't do it myself. If I need to refine myself and work on my anger, you think I'm going to do it myself by meditating. Um, that doesn't work. By the way, I tried that. You don't reach to refining your anger with meditating. You know how you refine your anger? You get an annoying wife [laughter] that all day long drives you crazy and you >> [laughter] >> Yes, honey. >> You are the light of my life. [laughter] And then most people I want to divorce. Horrible husband. Horrible husband. That's your other half. He's just showing you who you are. So every person in my life is a mirror. my kids, my parents, my my my wife, the ones who are close to you the most. Even the ones who sells you the coffee in the morning, he's one of the participants. Either he puts you in a good mood, he gives you a good coffee, or he annoys you and makes you wait for 4 hours for a cup of coffee. Like I see people standing in the airport, four hours. Are you that dumb? I like coffee. I won't stand four hours in a line for a coffee. >> There's a level how much I will give into the coffee. And I'm telling you, I'm like on the top of the scale of uh coffee. So, it's all about realizing what you're doing here. And when you realize what you're doing here, you run after the right things. And trust me, I also want to have good relationship with my wife and I want to have parasa and I want to live in a nice house and drive a nice car and dress nice and have nice khim on my Shabbat table and go on a vacation and I want to I'm as human as you. But it's not it's not Hashem brings me good. Hashem doesn't bring me also good. You you know Hashem knows how to give me what I need, what I want and he spoils me all day long. Hashem is like spoiling me all day long. It's unbelievable. And I don't need to do much effort. Somebody once called me Obi something Kenobi. >> He says you just go and everything just opens. He says, "Little do you know how many things close before they open. But nevertheless, >> you walking on the path of Hashem, things will open for you. Things will just open. So really you just need to take 15 minutes of your time to recalibrate and whether you need to do it 15 times 15 minutes a day then do it. Meditate and ponder on the fact the main existence in my life is my how much I nourish my body how much I nourish my soul. My main purpose is to come close to Hashem. >> Trust me I have no words to emphasize. You do not want to get to the day that you look back and said I should have have done. Do it now on on I should have done. Not in your last breath in this world. You want to get to a point that when you look back you can say listen I think I'm pretty good. Somebody asked me that not too long ago. He told me you're afraid to die. I said no at this point I don't afraid. I know the way. He says no really are you afraid? I said no. The only thing that I'm like I would say falls under the category of afraid is that I didn't manage to do the the level of cha that I'm supposed to that I didn't take the the right advantage of this world. But overall looking I think I'm I mean it's not it's the right attitude to think positive although the right attitude is to always think that you are that then you constantly need to do chuva means I never I didn't do my chuva that's the the concern in the back of my mind that I'm praying to hashem give me the enough time to to manage to do chuva don't let me leave this world without chva but in overall in a positive attitude you know I think I'm doing Okay, I'm constantly looking. Not that I think that I'm in such a high level, but I'm but I'm aware of what's going on. So my mind doesn't get distracted by a male and try trust me, he's I didn't get rid of him. So I'm still I don't know which level I'm holding. I like to say I'm in level four, but then of course comes on my leg and he he gives you one you don't even know where it comes from. So I'm not in number four. Don't don't uh I in my mind I'm in number four practically not. And I don't think we're designed to get there. The design is the what I want. So now that you understand hopefully the concept now it's just action. There's no thinking too much. You need a plan and action. And if you don't do it, then you walk out of this door and Amal catches you. Same way how he did in all the other lectures. Two weeks will pass. Rosha Shana will come. You'll have a new dress, but you didn't do the right cha. And then 10 days of chuva. You're busy with a million and one things because all the problems of the world will come on 10 days of chuva to get you distracted, of course. And then yum kipur comes and before you know it's already November and you're like where did theim go? I didn't do anything. Needless to say that the light that is exposed throughout the holidays if I just tap into it that's the light that takes me throughout the year. So you have to have an attitude of a good investment. I invest two three hard weeks praying you know my prayers we're going to do just this is like half the day you're in the in the sh it's a hard month but I invest the whole year I have the right shea the right energy the right attitude so you have two options when you leave this door tonight option number one is let a Malik come into your system as he's already infiltrated into every aspect of your life. You don't even know how to recognize him, but trust me, he's in every aspect of your life and you can uh go back to stage one and then you're running around yourself like a dog running after the tail or a hamster running in a circle, wherever you want to picture yourself. But you're going to come to square one. I'm telling you, you're going to come to next year, ne following year, the no improvement, small steps. Now I can tell you, listen, I travel a lot. I I see a lot of people. Some people I see constantly. Some people never saw in my life. Some people where I live, I see them every day. People tell me, "Can you be my rabbi? How can I be my rabbi? Your rabbi if I'm 7,000 miles away from you? What am I going to telepathically see how you're doing?" Like, "How can I be a rabbi?" No, seriously. You want me to be a rabbi? I need to see you in the morning in Shahar >> before me and then I'm going to see you also in between in the class and I want to see how you behave. I want to see how you pray. I see how you you you react when people take your seat in the shul or push you or how can I be a rabbi when you're in a different town in a different city in a different country? How can I tell you what my my uh my uh observations are? Were you weak? Were you strong? So, why did I tell you? I don't even know how I got to the to the rabbi. >> You want to move to, you can move to? You're more than welcome. Not much to do there. But no, moneywise, I mean, there's no there. It's like people come there to learn Torah. Yeah, that's what people do there. They become so attached to Hashem in such a simplicity. You never seen anything like it. You can come and see how it looks. People are so devoted to Hashem. They live in poverty. They have nothing. Small apartments, barely anything. I know all them. They all come to me. We support them. The donations you always give to atm. That's where it goes. It goes to these people who are so simple with Hashem. They have no materialism. They barely have any money. You give them a 100 shekels to buy chicken for Shabbat. They're like dancing. They can't believe the miracle that happened in early in their life. Simple. Simple. only dedicated to Hashem, devoted to Hashem. Now, I don't know necessarily if it fits everybody, but that's how it's done, by the way. No desire for physicality, no judgmental to anyone. And I see these people, you see, real joy, sparks in the eye. Some of them complain all day long, but but I'm saying the the the core. I don't even know why I told you with people asked me to be the rabbi, I need to look at them. I don't even where know where I went with that. >> Yeah. Yeah. No, no, that's not what I was about to say. >> A start. >> Yeah. No, because I was saying I was traveling. It's I don't see the development of a person. the line that the idea what I was trying to say you know a person when they develop you you if I want to give you the right I need to see I can't see I don't know you people come to me with questions I don't even know you but when you're next to me I can see and guide and do and but nevertheless I don't even know where that took me from but let's go to the two options that you have option number one is to leave and to bring a Malik back into your life and you're going to run after your tail and nothing is going to change in your life and another day will pass and another week will pass and another month will pass and another sha will come and your goals will evaporate your dreams will evaporate life will be challenging to a point that you bitter you're unhappy problems with panad problems with health relationships don't work this doesn't work that I mean that's the kind of you all like looking at me like how does he know so I know I know because I people also come to me I hear the the problems with people you know interestingly I'm not and again nothing that I say is to insult anyone it's just to paint the situation and for you to take something positive from that from the thousands and thousands and thousands of people who submit names for me to pray on their behalf and contacting me or coming to me people come all the way to you never seen anything like that come just to see me for three seconds so I can give them a blessing like as if I'm some Babasali. No, it's people come and and they think I can give them some some some some uh some blessing but the reality that people do the effort they come the blessing is very very nice. The person can give any blessing. The real blessing is the is the action that you do is what you actually do with your time. What you actually do. So going back to option number one, that shouldn't be your option. That shouldn't be your option. From the thousands and thousands and thousands of people who turn to me and ask for I'm mainly saying bud, not guidance. Guidance is one thing but for if you have a Malik in your life you will never see Aba in your life. It doesn't matter how much time you're going to come to any any rabbi you need to understand that once you have a Malik as a partner you are going to continuously run after your tail and nothing's going to change in your life. The only time that life will change is when you're focusing on the real purpose. Therefore, most people choose to have a malle in their life. It's much easier to to take a step back. So if you are considering even the option number one is to go out and let AML enter back into your life you will probably in the same place what did I miss >> the phone you'll probably be in the same willpool and the reason I'm saying all that because as I mentioned now thousands of people ask me for blessings and you know that a fra action. I can maybe count on my hand of people who came and say rabbi please pray for me that I will be successful in my tikun that I should have uh power to overpower my people ask money that's the number one okay which I'm not I'm not blaming anyone everybody needs money people ask for money to meet their other half for special health problems all the prep I'm just giving an like how do You say not a survey like I'm giving you an analysis. I'm a good source. Very few people come to me and rabbi please bless me that I should have love to Hashem that I should love to do the mitzvot. I want to stay all the way. Not people don't come and ask me things like this or even people come and ask me for guidance in many other things but not that rabbi what what helped you find true love to hashem in your heart I don't get these questions therefore I can clearly tell you that if you don't do a massive change you will continue in this going around in circles thinking you're doing great and you know why cuz the Malik will tell you you're doing great you came to shul today you didn't lie to that person you were particular with the kashoot in this oh you doing great he raises A+ he fools you he tells you how amazing you are your partner the real partner will tell you you suck You relate to but your partner that you choose tells you [laughter] because one time you did something like that that no that's the the the the partner you choose. Do you choose a partner that tells you how great you are or a partner that tells you where you need to shape up? >> Both. >> You need both. You're right. But I choose the one who tells me where I'm wrong. You want a rabbi that tells you how great you are. I want a rabbi that tells me where I'm wrong. And nobody likes to hear where they're wrong. I don't get encouragement like feed good feedback from my rabbi. You're doing amazing. Never heard once in my life, by the way. A good word, you're doing amazing. It's always complaints. Why aren't you doing more? It's just complaints. Now, I I can get offended and discouraged and go out angry or I can say, "Okay, yeah, where can I do more?" If my rabbi told me I need to do more, it means that I can do more and I should do more and where do I need to do it? I don't get offended. I get inspired. The rabbi is my guide. He's not my friend. I don't barbecue with my rabbi. So if you want to stick with the same partner, go ahead. I mean I'm nobody will able to help you. You'll go through this life in many cases miserable. You won't find happiness in many places. You might find happiness here but not happiness here. You can that's your choice. I can already tell you besides the miserable situations you're going to have, you're going to wake up one day and say, "Why didn't I do A, B, and C? I could have done." And then it's too late. That's coming to Sha the day before Rosh saying, "Hey, I missed entire." Now, you can allow yourself to do that on but don't let yourself do that when you're coming to Shine when it's time to sign off. So, option number one, continue with your partner. Let him in. He will control your life. You don't even know how much he's controlling you in every aspect of your life with the food that you eat with the phones how you go like this. Every aspect of your life is infiltrated and he already establish his opinion and his opinion is what what roles by the way in most of people life. He will he will uh how do you say the conductor he does that and he gives you to do some good things that you will say that he will say we're doing great we're both doing great you went to sh last Shabbat in your car but you went to sh and he will give you all now the explanations why everything that you did is okay and then he will do like what Google's does to you when you just think of something and then it shows you in It's unbelievable. You know, when I put the information to come here today in ways, I just wrote the number of the of the address and the address popped up. That didn't happen to me so often, but you know what I'm talking about. Did you somebody talks about toasters? All the ads are toasters, right? I'm like, that's the exact same thing. By the way, where do you think they got it from? He puts everything in your imagination. When you're looking at a person and judging that person and you have a whole disagreement with this individual, you can't even go to the family affairs cuz he's there. I'm not going to be there and he said it. He's in the male puts all these thoughts in your mind. He puts the it's like a like I don't want to say I was about to say like a yak. You know what's a yak? Like this you know these old women >> [laughter] >> making making connections. You know, you go to a family affair, there's only one always one ant. Everybody hates each other because of this ant. [laughter] Now, I'm hoping that if you hear or if you are logged into the live or if you're watching the recording that you you seeking for improvement or seeking for a change. Most people seeking for a change. They can't take where they are right now. Has something has to happen. Now I know a lot of people blame it and I blame it myself too. After all, Mashiach is coming. Mashiach. Don't expect to be licking honey. But nevertheless, that shouldn't interfere with my day-to-day struggles. The bottom line is is that you are manipulated by a Malik that he feeds you that you will be happy if you buy yourself a nice dress now or you will be happy you need to relax for two and a half hours and go like this on Instagram and he feeds you what you think is going to make you happy and you're like a fool going into the trap. You consumed whatever he told you and no, it didn't bring you the happiness that you wanted. It didn't bring you any solutions. It didn't bring you any guidance, any comfort, anything. It didn't bring nothing. You wasted your time. If you are holding your phone more than 5 minutes a day and you go like this, I can't even stress what level of a waste of a time. What do you get out of that? I see people do that all the time. What do you get out of that? You're smarter. You made more money. Well, what's the benefit? Come on. You have to explain to me. What's the benefit? You want to tell me I need to wind down? I don't know. We used to wind down 40 years ago without Instagram. >> Get you views. >> What? >> Gets you views. >> Who cares about the views? I'm talking about the simple individual that goes like this and flip through the cats dancing and people jumping from a rooftop breaking all their bones. Everybody wants to be now the more stupid idiot on the internet. So all day long you're looking at idiots. Or if you like whatever you like, that's what it that's what Amalik will show you. You like fashion, he will show you the fashion and he will show you a bag. I was the other day by my friend. He showed me a bag. $50,000. I was like, who pays $50,000 for a bag? It doesn't even hold much. It's this big. No, listen. I also like nice stuff. There's a limit. And the bag is empty. Shem of some mala on the bag. Coco Chanel. Sounds to me like some witch, you know. But nevertheless, you you you have to take a pause. You have to stop. You have to understand with all the jokes and the laughs and if you need to watch his video, watch it another 50 times. You need to understand how a male puts you in a in a whirlpool. And for you to realize that it's again ill where Shana is in two weeks. How was your year? Did you achieve any of your goals that you placed in the beginning of the year? Did you do any change? Did you feel that you grew? You see refinement? You look back a year saying wow I was there and then personally am I happy? Do I feel fulfilled? Do I feel achieved? How is my day? My day is 99% energized and happy or 99%. You choose. You choose where you bring yourself to. Don't blame Hashem. I'm miserable. I don't have money. I don't have a wife. I don't have kids. Don't blame Hashem. You need to know how to, you know, go between the the challenges. So the next option you have is when you leave this room tonight cuz I'm not here. He doesn't like shab. He watches the live to see what I'm saying so he can come and tell you. He explains to you what I meant. No, he didn't really mean that. Let me explain to you what he meant. But you have now an opportunity because now there's you know there's but the option number two is to understand the formula. When you understand the formula I don't never go straight to the direction of what I need because I know that's it has nothing to do with me. If I need success in marriage, in my business, in my learning Torah, I don't go to the problem because I know it's nothing to do with the problem. I go to completely direct the different direction and it's only Hashem and it doesn't come overnight but when you learn to bring yourself to this place a you don't need to think too much let Hashem do whatever he wants to do life becomes a little bit easier the challenges become much easier to deal with the analogy by the way if you need to have it in your visual let's go to the movie the matrix Neo is so to say representing in this case our soul and And he's constantly batting battling the agents. These represent the three kipot. There are three kipot. That's why there's three agents. And when he's normally fighting them, they're breeding him up. But at the end after the godly light was revealed and etc, etc. Then when they come to fight with him, the last scene, he doesn't even look at them. He's like like fighting them like that, right? with one hand because there's no the challenge is like a it's a daily task. You are confronting a challenge the whole wave cave the whole world caves on you. You don't understand that it's just your daily task and today you are required to be patient and maybe today the task is just to be you know holding your tongue or to do to initiate you don't you need to figure it out. I can tell you already that when you go to the book of all the laws, then the laws will tell you what you're not supposed to do in this situation. [snorts] So, somebody comes and bothers me, I want to go and curse him. The Torah tells me don't curse. Ah, okay. H, shut your mouth. Then I want to go and, you know, maybe do something bad to him. Torah tells me, don't lift up your hand. Don't don't harm him. So, I want to go and tell everybody what he did. No gossiping. So what else is left? Shut up. Ah, okay. That's it. Problem solved. That's it. Next to the next challenge. The Torah tells me what to do. But most people when it comes to their personal thing, they rule. Not the Torah, not the last word. And then they give themselves the the permission. Oh, I can lie now. Oh, I can steal from this person. Cuz he did A, B, and Z. Oh, welcome Amalecch to telling me why I'm allowed to do that. And I'm allowed to slander him now and gossip and say because Amale comes and advises me because he said, "And you're warning. I'm warning everybody." You understand how a how am you in a in a like in a in a net? Not a net. in a net, [clears throat] you know, but that but that's the reality. Now the rule is and a prisoner cannot get himself out of his own cell. So if you understand that you are a prisoner in your own cell, you can't have some you can't let yourself out. Therefore, you you have a choice. You can go back and be your your the the roommate of Amalik. Trust me, he's going to fool you for the rest of your life. I I don't see great things happening in that situation. And especially even if he lies to you and he gives you here a success and here's some money and here a good vacation, then he's totally taking you off your focus to come to Alama and you'll be like, "Oh, I was busy on the vacation or in the money that gave me so. So now I'm having a nice car instead of going to sh I went to life is short. Time is going very fast. You need to focus on what you need to do. The best time to set it up is in Aul because I'm going into the next year. I can make rules. I can make regulations for myself. I can set goals. I can set it all up. Now, that's what you're doing on Aul. That's the time to do it. Look back at the entire year. Where did I fail? What went wrong? Reverse engineer. Why this didn't work? Why didn't I grow? Why am I not in a higher spiritual level? and you do all the wise, all the preparations and when you walk into you take this entire journey from all the way after that's a long journey to set everything up, but you're taking yourself to a completely different level. And the point will be that next year when I come here, you look back and you're saying, "Wow, last year what a difference in everything." And whatever you want, you can pray for it. I don't pray Hashem I want to do this I want that you know when I was looking for my wife the what are you looking for you want Ashkenazi tall short what do you want from her I just want her to be a woman original [laughter] that's it doesn't matter if she she's tall or short doesn't matter if she's ashkenazi or safari who cares she loves Hashem that's what matters and and even if she DOESN'T LIKE IT, DO I have a say here? My prayer was just give me whoever needs to annoy me for the rest of the 40 years and make me a better man. >> I didn't come with descriptions because mim sh what does it matter? What does it matter? So I don't put, you know, my focus on, you know, I also need to make money. I have seven kids. You know what it is to finance seven kids? I'm not talking about my other advent endeavors just to be a regular father with seven kids. So expensive to have I don't like all day long thinking I'm going to I don't know let me open an Amazon account. I'm going to start selling. I do what I need. It's not even my job. I just do what I don't focus on that. The is the cle say see whether I need to open a business whether I need to invest it doesn't matter that's the then I leave it then I go back to my actions and it's not only with parasite it's with everything that's the attitude hashem already has it all written down I doesn't make any difference if I'll come from here if I'll come from here it's irrelevant I want to be successful we all want to be successful I let Hashem do the the the what he wants I attribute my success only to Hashem I I'm but the success that I did that I put effort and I was how do you say resilient I'm not letting come in and the same way that Jacob fought with is the whole night you're going to fight with your with your with your kip all the way till the end of the days you already think you're going to get rid of it but if you know how to handle it it becomes a helpmate mash like a personal trainer so now it all depends depends on you. I mean I can come and deliver give examples live by example testify things work now you by yourself but if your mind frame is that I want to find a change I need a change in my life I need improvement in my life something needs to give something needs to change we're all in this situation by the way don't I don't think there's anyone here that can raise their hand and say I'm not here in this category and by the way if you are 100% satisfied where you are that's another problem. I don't see you. You don't look to me like Rashi. If you're satisfied where you are, no, no, no. You think I'm satisfied where I am, people think, oh, I wish I would be. No, no, no. I I have a long list of demands from myself. In my eyes, I'm uh not uh doing that great. So, you have the opportunity. It's a powerful month, powerful time. You understand the concept and all depends on you. Nobody there, nobody will do anything for you. I can give you a blessing. I can send you off with good wishes. You need to sit and make that change because the Malik is going to knock on the door every day. He's not going to let go. He's not going to let go. But it all depends how determined you are to bring a change, to bring an improvement into your life. And I'm I'm telling you, do it the right way. I'll meet you again next and you'll tell me I had an amazing year. had a real good year. I was able to set goals. I was able to do things overall. There was strong health, good mood, very determined, very focused, clarity in my mind. Like, wouldn't you don't you want that? But it doesn't come so easy. Requires a lot of hard work. The good news is the time goes so fast. We're almost done. So to conclude, I can't tell you what to do. I can't I can show you the door. I can tell you a Malik is outside. You want to avoid that? Then when you come home tonight, don't do it now. Now it's too distracting. You come home tonight, take a few minutes, sit down, and it's all all in your mind. How you set it up, what what to what extent you are willing to give. Now if each and every one of you is in a place and Hashem does make sure that he has hashem has all these policies okay like insurance policy you know how the evil regime in the world what they do is they'll take a person they'll put him they'll frame him in a few cases that they also have always have some insurance policy he says something wrong oh here's pictures does the same thing too he corners you in situations that he has an insurance policy that you're always going to something that you you need his help. He corners you. Now, if you're in a very very low level, you still don't understand that it's that's Hashem's calls. Hopefully, now you're more inspired to understand that is corning you, he he's calling you. But when you get to understand when Hashem throws to you a challenge, you know that if you will tackle the challenge the right way, you won this challenge and there's going to be a reward right away. uh elevation uh upgrade and you'll feel it right away cuz you overcome the challenge the right way. So nobody will do it for you. If you want something better in your life, you want change in your life, then you need to be focused. You need to have the right tools. You need to set it up. If you are more interested in having it uh easily explained uh some of you I know are following we have almost every day a class from the Lul chuva uh journey that we're doing practical advice everything at the end will be like one big road map if you didn't start it yet and you can see the videos are recorded they're on the website catch up but it's basically one step after the other how you want to design your chuva and the path you want to walk You have to completely reset all the lies that Amalcch told you all your life that you have to do this in order to get that and you have to do this in order to get that. It's all lies of Hashem of of Amalecch. You have to reset back to factory mode to understand that no this is not going to get me blessing. This is not going to get me success. This is not going to get me to the path I want to walk on. Hashem lies you every day makes you think that you're happy but you're not. comes the end of the day. Look at the end of the day. Make an account how was su how successful was your day? I break my day into 24 hours. Every hour, every every circle hour, there's a stop with anything that I do. Unless I'm teaching and I can't make you stop and tell you, wait, I have to do my uh hourly cal. But in normal situations, every hour I stop usually get up, stretch, do whatever I do, read some tim reset the sit, how was the hour? Am I missing two things? Did I push into that hour, 40 minutes worth of time or three hours? Then your day is productive. When your day is productive, you're in a good mood. You're focused, you're happy, you sleep well, you eat, everything changes. And like I said, now it's all requ this filth is by learning Torah. Each and every one of you in your level, you are required to observe the Torah. So you need to learn about that. If you are required to observe the kosher diet, learn the alot. I'm talking to you right now because usually men are required to learn much more. But women don't don't think you are exempt. You are obligated in obser observing Shabbat. You can learn two a day of of Shabbat of observing Shabbat. Two a day. That's it. 12 a week. You already making your Shabbat much better because you learn six 12 new alot. You can learn and so many different things. Men, I don't know not to talk even but men. Men are obligated. You're obligated in learning. No, not to put anybody on the spot. If you're not learning two to four hours a day Torah, I don't even know what you're doing. I'm not talking about reading timing, by the way. Talking that you have a set time to learn if you don't have your busy whatever at least one hour good one good hour, two hours, half an hour, half an hour, half an hour, half something. Most men don't do that. Most men don't set time to learn Torah. They rather be on Instagram or whatever nonsense or junk they are they're on. Just think of how many times that you wasted two hours on nonsense, but you could have learned to run that time. Don't you think that would bring blessing into your life, clarity into your life, being focused and you know why? Because the Torah makes you one with Hashem. The wisdom of Hashem becomes one with you. There's no doubts. You're ceasing things completely different. It's only for your benefit. But only the only thing that I'm telling you now your benefit. You invest in yourself. You want to you want to to see results and if to invest in yourself nobody will do it for you. Nobody will wake up you wake you up in the morning to go to prayer. You need to wake yourself up. I was now we had a shabbaton on the Shabbat that way I stay to sleep the person tells me should I wake up knock you knock in the morning. I said I need you to wake me up wife. I need you to wake me up. I'm in big trouble if I need you to wake me up. Because if you don't wake up, I don't go to shul. I'm going to put my trust into you. So, you need to do if you don't initiate, nothing's going to happen. So, I can uh continue and continue and continue and uh we say in to blend water. I think you got the point. Now, the decision is up to you how you leave this door. I can tell you already that you have the power of alul you are even though it's already after the but we still have the oful means the the life force all depends on what you are willing to put how much you're willing to sacrifice how much you're willing to step back in today's class in our journey we learned about an aspect of chuva of surrendering is taking a step back and just admitting I was very hard to do to admit I was wrong. I didn't do it right. I was supposed to do it differently. I surrender. And if I know how to do it very good in front of Hashem, needless to say that my chuva will be great. But I know how to do it then with other people. And then needless to say, life becomes much sweeter. So all is left for me is to wish you great success. I wish for you to take it serious. Use the information, apply it in your life. The only one who will benefit is yourself. You're not going to need to seek advice from all sorts of bubbas and go to rabbis all over the world to bless you with this and bless you with that. Life will become where you need to be. And I'm not saying it won't you won't have challenges. It's just that you're going to have a smile on your face while you're going through the challenge and you're going to laugh. Every time I miss a flight, you think I get angry. I just laugh. I'm like, and I understand. Okay, now I need to be here. You know how many flights I missed in the coming here? No point of getting upset. A better flight will come. A new opportunity must be that I need to sit next to somebody on the next plane. Probably I need to pray here in this airport. Not like normal people in a minan. So uh but it all the attitude and I'm telling you Hashem seems like it's he's closing tons of doors in my in my life. No, he's not closing. He's just showing me very very classy where to turn, where to where what to avoid. The challenges become your ladder. All your challenges are your ladder to grow higher. If you don't want to grow higher, so don't don't don't deal with the challenges. But challenges in your life are your ladder to grow to a higher level. When you go through a high level, the view looks completely different. You need to know that living here in Miami, you live in the second floor, you don't have a nice view. You're living in these monsters. I saw coming up here 40th floor. You see the ocean from here till out of nowhere. Right? So technically even in this world the higher you go the the view is better. Same thing here the higher you refine yourself the view will get better. Life will become making more sense. You'll know where you need to go, where to put effort, where to release, where to step back, where to shut up, when you need to be humiliated, when do you need to be stepped on. And the best part of it is that you graduate this life with success. And that's our ultimate goal here. Hashem should bless us with an amazing year. I want to wish you should bless you with an amazing year full of success that all your dreams and your prayers and your goals should be fulfilled and answered. And Hashem should guide you in the most easiest way to your purpose. And you should rise higher and higher in the path of Torah. should all be blessed with great paramasa and health. And whoever needs to get married to find their other half and whoever's already married to that annoying spouse, put a smile on your face. She's only here to help. And I bless you that you will find yourself every day a much better individual than you were the day before. >> And I bless you with strong [applause] strong success to fight your roommate that you need to push out of your door. Bas the shin.
