we're probably wondering why does the ram abour lanara so much to the extent where the zarak says that God says about sonar I do not want to help him out with his difficulties why is this such a terrible sin it's innocuous I'm just shooting the breeze I'm talking to my friend here's the real scoop this is something in a way we like to be positive and we're not trying to instill fear but when it comes to ashara it's important that people have a healthy fear of doing the wrong thing and here's the real story God knows that we do things wrong sometimes but he doesn't see it not that he doesn't actually see it he chooses not to Hashem loves us too much to focus on our faults but there's a problem because the way he set up the world is he set up the world measure for measure and when we point out the flaws of our friend and we speak negatively about our friend the writes in there's a spirit that stands over all those who speak lashara that when a person speaks lashara or people a group of people speak lashara that Spirit of impurity is aroused the name of the spirit is s and it grabs a hold of the conversation that a person has of lanara it then brings up the conversation to God and it causes death and plague and disaster in the world woe to those who open up their mouths to speak lashan Hara and they don't realize that what they do down here in this world creates a disastrous effect in the heavens and then back down here and explains that when a Jew does a sin a Jew does something wrong God looks the other way he doesn't want to see it but the thing is he set up the world with a system of justice and that system of justice is mid mid measure for measure and as soon as a Jew speaks lanara and as MRE prosecutes against another Jew the snake the force of impurity goes up to heaven and prosecutes the Jewish people to God and God has no choice but to focus on our sin and listen to our prosecution the safety security and well-being of the Jewish people is primarily dependent on our guarding our mouth if we keep the mouth closed we don't F focus on the faults of another God will not pay attention to the sin of the Jewish people the moment we speak lashan Hara we are compelling Hashem to listen to the great prosecutor against the Jewish people in heaven who would want to do such a thing who would want to bring prosecution against the Jewish people that is why God detests and abhor lanara stay away from it your security and the security of the Jewish people is dependent on it wishing everyone
