Parshas Noach: Man As The Microcosm of the Universe - The Electrifying Teaching of the Zohar

this store class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay welcome back so we begin our new season is to come together for the whole year for uh to the show us okay so parishes and it was corrupt ions All Flesh corrupted its way on the land sashem saw the Earth and all All Flesh corrupted its way well interestingly Rashi says on the words if even the animals the wild animals the birds this gakit and this kakin the Shane on Minon they mingled they did not stick to their own species they had relations with other species so in other words it wasn't only the animal kingdom were deviated from the normal path in the animal world there was some modicum of a proper behavior and Not only was it a hishness and then says so Hashem says the end of All Flesh has come before me meaning I had enough I've got to destroy all flesh the world is full of robbery and I behold will destroy the Earth it's a very interesting question here if you are sensitive to the Nuance of the flow of the sukim you should pick up on the fact that the posix seems to imply that only because Hashem saw that the animals were deviant that's why he just decided that he's gonna destroy mankind that implies that had the animals remain straight even if mankind would have been uh acted in modest and improper Hashem may have spared men but Revenge them says [Applause] well what do the animal's behavior got to do with whether Hashem is going to destroy Adam if Adam is worthy to be destroyed then all of them should be destroyed regardless of the modesty of the animals and if Adam is not deserving to be destroyed then the fact that the animals acted corrupt why is that a reason to destroy them so that is a very interesting question over here what does ivanisha mean what does it have to do with and in fact this is a question of a very interesting safer shirazheimer he lived from 1820 to 1899 the charlamagivinathanson writes about Israel hildersheimer harav hagoin the malays very excellent accolades that he writes about Israel hildersheimer and in fact at the age of 31 of Israel became the robin eisenstadt and then later on he became the role of Berlin and amazingly this I didn't know in 1861 he got an invitation from the sav Surfer to become the co-rabba in pressburg so you always think about Israel Hilda's time is one of the German godolam if you ever saw a picture of the Earth does not look like the classic Polish Polish he was educated uh in terms of in a secular way and he had he had a different appearance than the published godalem and his student was a wasrael hildersheimer but for the world of Hungary to bring in a gargoyle such as real it speaks volumes about the Godless Entourage hildersheimer amazingly rub your swirl cilantro is reputed to have said and this is called the shots that he's jealous of the Israel hildersheimer because of Israel knew how to speak to young men he was able to get very captivating uh shiram to the youth and sort of keep them on the right path and will be throttle would say is this his brother Swedish that he was jealous of his real hildersheimer's but that's his Kasha he says what has one got to do with the other what does one thing have to do with the other okay very interesting let's talk for a moment when Hashem it doesn't sound like they became bad gradually it sounds like they're pretty wrath in from the beginning you have over here corrupt behavior and moral and Modest Behavior robbery and yet Hashem gave them a long time Hashem was pretty patient with them 120 years you know usually if someone doesn't have a place you warn them you want them again you want them again I mean 120 years is a very very very long time and yet Hashem is not so patient with Israel we know we read every day in the Shema in the second parash of Shema God was Blazing angry at you we also have such a Mayim he will with the drug the heaven restrain the heavens there won't be any rain in other words when we survive like the Zara he is God's Gonna close up the Heavens there's not gonna be rain the world will not produce uh grain and I'm going to destroy you quickly right by the way this plastic is not even it says that means it's really Mahira you know it is not going to destroy you quickly so around she's by the way around she says what does quickly mean any noise I'm not going to give you any tolerance I'm not gonna tolerate your behavior I'm gonna punish you immediately I effect Rashi what do you mean but Hashem was patient with like it says that you'll uh you'll continue to exist for 120 years says did not have from whom to learn it wasn't their fault they had no choice of course they were going to sin they had no one to learn from but you you cry so you have from who to learn presumably that means cloudy star has a Torah and in times of Nayak there was no Torah but what exactly does Rashi mean then the DAR hamaba they didn't have from whom to learn who could have they they have learned from that they didn't and and they didn't have whom to learn from what's the meaning of Rashi that we have from whom to learn and in the novel they didn't have from whom to learn another interesting Rashi that with Israel hildersheimer is uh bothered by and that's as follows what was you know the camel that broke the the straw that broke the camel's back what was like the Mac of a patch here we have corrupt Behavior the people were immoral even the animals were immoral but it sounds like the one thing that God said okay that's it I had enough was Hamas robbery why was that the straw that broke the camel's back is that the worst of era in the in the repertoire is it worse than Arias you wouldn't think so you know Arias is a capital capital offense stealing is bad but it's you're not have miso for stealing even though they were they were Bennett and for them it's one of the biggies but still it's not like it's not like Arias what's the reason why the mark of a path is the straw that broke the camel's back is why what's up shot in that okay we're going to explore a subject now that um many many years ago so we had um rabbi kinarak who he was the mask but he wouldn't speak he would sit and learn Shas he could ask him questions but he wouldn't speak barabba that wasn't his thing you know the roshishiva would give the schmoozen and rough canarik when I was in Yeshiva I think I only remember him speaking one time and he said over this this essay that we're going to speak out tonight and the essay comes from a very interesting statement the name of the favorite glass who Israel I grew up in the Algood and Flappers review he was a son-in-law of David cron glass in in Baltimore now Israel and he has a very interesting approach that really sheds light on many different and many very important yanem we're all familiar with the Michigan perky office yeah the mission says like this says yeah be bold like a leopard the cow canes should be light like an eagle Rod Scott City run like a deer the giveaway be strong like a lion says yeah we're all familiar with that don't don't be embarrassed if you have a question if you have a Shiloh sometimes people are embarrassed to ask shallow sometimes people are embarrassed to ask questions don't sometimes you need to be bold even though in general the mean of busha is a correct Nida to be ashamed but sometimes a person needs a certain courage be bold like a leopard be light Like an Eagle Run Like a deer and be Mighty like a lion so I asked for a dotted Chrome glass I want to thank my good friend [Music] in America and a very dear friend of mine and he was kind enough to give me the safer and um does many wonderful things including getting me this particular safer um and he's actually married to her of congress's granddaughter I believe and rub it ass like this he said I mean you know we'll put it in the colloquial terms that's ridiculous you tell be strong like a lion imagine you know in the five towns here basically the planes they they there they fly about 10 feet above your chimney right they're you know they basically land you know a few feet away from your house you know every so often all of a sudden like the lights go out it's not a black it's just a plane flying over your house right so imagine a supersonic jet flew over house and I said hey pal make it to Shadow what's taking so long move to chakras like a supersonic jet see rather are you are you you know everything all right with you what do I gotta do with a supersonic jet it has you know 100 horsepower engine or maybe even more what's that got to do with me what's the analogy what could I possibly learn from a supersonic jet I mean how could seriously with a straight face attana is telling me to be strong like a lion what do I gotta do with a lion I should be run like a deer I mean who's the Olympic uh runner from how fast could he run already 20 miles an hour no right that's pretty fast so you tell it yeah and right next to him there's a there's a car a Porsche the push pulls out zero to 60 in five seconds hey Hussein what's wrong with you you're only running 18 miles an hour why could Dash like the pores you know who's the swimmer Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps right we say you know yeah you could you could swim fast swim like a dolphin some like a dolphin I'm not built like a dolphin dolphin has certain muscles dolphin's a fish I'm a human being what do I gotta do with a car or a dolphin it's ridiculous what is the Tana saying be bold like a lot but not a leper Thank God I'm a human being I'm not a leopard I'm not an ego what's the comparison these animals are programmed a certain way they have tremendous capability tremendous power I'm not yeah if I were 450 pounds with a lean muscle like a lion then I'd be strong like a lion but I'm not you know I mean Yeshiva I'm sitting in a chair all day I don't have the strength The Brute strength of a lion sorry it run like a Dr yeah maybe if I would train for 75 years if I want to actually have a life there's no way I'm ever going to run like a deer now obviously it's an allegory obviously it means be swift but what does the deal the dealers program that way man on the other hand is weak is lazy what is the order over here be bold like a leper be light like an evil run like a deer interesting take a look at number 11. foreign we would have learned modesty from the cat when the cat eliminates waste it's also in a very maddest way we would have been able to learn modesty from a cat videos we would have learned not to rob from an ant an ant is very particular with robbing an ant if anybody ever touched even if an ant one ant ever touched a piece of food no other ants will go near it amazing you could have a um bread once one ant touches it if the end drops it no ants will touch that we would have learned modesty from the pigeon what does that mean modesty from the dove a dove it's an incredible thing two doves mate and if one of them dies the other dove will never go to uh another spouse it's loyal to its spouse for its entire existence that that's the Cloudy Souls compared to a yoina we would have learned to arise from Leona and we would have learned from a chicken okay and the gemara explains what the chicken is so the question what do you mean we would have learned modesty from a cat it's not like a cat when it eliminates its waste it says to something it's really a pain in the neck to do this in a modest way but who I'm going to eliminate my recent amount of sway of course not the cat has an instinct that it just eliminates its waste in a modest way so why should I learn from that I don't I'm not programmed that way for me I'm busy I don't want to I don't want to go through the trouble of what the cat goes through or let's say the Aina find very nice the owner is faithful to its spouse that's because it's programmed it's not like the owner has free choice and the sides makes a commitment of loyalty to its spouse that's just the way you're on this programmed so what can I passively learn from here imagine like this imagine you tell somebody pal I don't understand you sometimes you dive and sometimes you don't dab in you should learn from your alarm clock your alarm clock rings every morning so you should come to chakras every morning you say do you say the alarm clock once you press the button that it took off it's going to go off every morning but some mornings it's so dark outside in the morning there's no rain I'm going out of bed what do I got to do with my alarm clock that's absurd it's it's that's ridiculous it was really because I'll say we would have learned is from animals how could you tell me to be light like an eagle I'm so tired I slept five hours last night and then after two and a half of those hours the baby woke me up how could I be Swift like an eagle and here it gets even more uh interesting take a look at number 12. at the end of the time patches needs seven the plastic says I call to testimony against you today as Heaven and Earth life and death I placed before you and choose life says Rashi why is God invoking the sun and the moon so it's actually an amazing thing how color is Miracle assistant Claudia thrall look at the heavens I created the heavens to serve you you ever look at the sun did the son ever say you know what I'm not getting up this morning did the sun ever put its pillow over its head and say that's it why don't you try having a dark day did the sun ever not rise in the east no of course look at the Earth did you ever plant something and it just decided not to grow did you ever plant wheat and barley grew so what did so look think about it the sun is not being rewarded for doing the right thing and he won't be punished for doing the wrong thing so you who you're rewarded for doing the right thing and you're going to be purchased on the living of course you should take care of what you need to do think about the sun gets up every morning you've got to get up every morning for chakras if the Earth always does its job and produces grain and does not it does not uh produce weed instead of barley or vice versa then you open up the Shelton say see what it says and just do it why are you any less than the weird than the earth the earth is not even rewarded those are not even punters you need to do your jobs and again with double Chrome glass s that's that's absurd that's ridiculous what do you expect the sun is there an alternative can the sun say you know what I'm not really in the mood can the sun say you know I have at least 12 six days six days off a year there's the sun is programmed there's no it's like saying you know take a look at your phone yeah this is a bad example you know whenever you die or whenever you dial it always works so you know I don't know if that's a good example but of course in nature things are programmed a certain way there's no alternative they don't have a choice that's just the way they are right imagine if God said well every time you drop something it goes to the ground right every time something uh gravity gravity always works so you also always follow the Torah because well one thing got to do with the other you know is that does that resonate with you is that an effective uh argument let's talk about the ant amazing thing go to the ant you lazy guy you lazy person see her ways and be wise now this is not ant Matilda right this is a no no an ant I sure in one Cuts in there's nobody telling you what to do there's no ruler or Maisha there's no Governor there's nobody whipping the ant move get up the ant never rests it's a working it's working it's working it's working what's it doing it's preparing in the summer it's bread it's Gathering Harvest it's hard the food for its Harvest meaning the ant is always moving always working always Gathering it never rests it never it never relaxes so how long are you gonna rest lazy man lazy woman when are you gonna get up already so says the matter-ish an amazing madrish doesn't matter why is telling me to learn from the end you know I might say hey lazy man look at that time look at the film we're going Villa going slept you know four 30-minute slots in 24 hours no there's someone else says forget look at the ant you know what the ant does doesn't matter an ant has a three-floor house it doesn't live in the top floor because it leaks in doesn't live on the bottom floor because it's dirty an aunt what is the lifespan of an ant it only lives six months why six months any animal that has no bones or sinews can only exist for six months and in six months all it can eat is one stalk of weed and a half one and a half stalks of wheat and it gathers and it gathers and it gathers and it gathers and it Gathers to the point where one time they looked in the lair of the ant and they found 300 core which is basically if the ant would live from the beginning of time until a million years there would be more food than the Ant could ever eat why does the ant gather so much food because it says maybe God will decree that I should live long and what am I going to eat and therefore the ant gathers and gathers and gathers and gathers and never stops Gathering lazy person look at the end gather him its ways gather for what what do I need to gather for because a very very long time I know you know when you're going on a trip for you know for sukkas let's say you go away for the whole circus you ever wonder why am I taking so many bags I'm only going for eight days for nine days like why have to gather you know well how many pairs of shoes do you need already for nine days the people they go for a young Tiff and it's like they're taking suitcases tractor trailers you know Caravans people take a lot of stuff and if you're going away for a year how much do you have to take and what if you're going away forever you need a lot of food right some people are going for a weekend and they have like coolers full of like like they'd be going to Africa now how much Provisions does a person need if they're going away forever so says learn from the ant the ant doesn't even know it doesn't even have any certainty that's going to live beyond six months and it's Gathering and Gathering and Gathering a person knows they will need Provisions forever and ever and ever not only that but the ant is so careful that it doesn't steal anything that might belong to another ant one time says it matters an ant drops something and all the whole County pass by they didn't touch it and that the ant that job that was able to go back and get it it's like they say in kelm in Calum if you would leave like a pen on the windowsill you could come back 40 years later and was still there nobody would nobody would take it well that's the end I don't understand here you're telling a guy you're telling a couch potato he's sitting there he could barely move he said I know the Yankee game's over already but I'm stuck on the chair so you know I can't get out I can't move word from the amp the ant is able to move oh that yeah that's a very logical argument now now I'm gonna go to the show because yeah that's the way the ant is programmed what was the ant got to do with me if the ant would drank what I drank and ate what I ate they would also be sitting on the couch what's the argument learn from the ant well this is an idea that is um enunciated by this and it's brought down by the enough we're going to we're going to explain it tonight in the way that we've dubbed Chrome glass develops it in a very beautiful way and that is let's try to understand what is Adam what is a person I think we all understand that a person is obviously not just a sophisticated animal but the most sophisticated creation and we happen to have a nashama that's a piece of Hashem that's Divine that comes down to this world to do tarah Mitzvah and ultimately the nashama returns to shamayim and reaps its Eternal reward but if I were to ask you is there any connection between a person and an elephant say I hope not right I hope there is no connection or is there any connection between a person and a snake no it ain't connected between a person and a bird now we both have the same Creator is there any connection between a person and a rhinoceros you say not me there might be somebody I know who might have some kind of shahras but but in all seriousness I don't think we tend to think of ourselves as having any connection at all to any of the animal species what about to a tree if I were to tell you what connection does a person have to a tree say absolute zero a flower a bush grass you know if I were to is there any connection that we have what about to Iraq say yeah actually I know a guy he was like Iraq oh but seriously we know there are different types of matter there's a domain there's inanimate objects there's so Manya there are there's entities that grow there's High living creations and we tend to think of it at just four different categories of matter and they're not really connected if you look at others the other stuff nothing says an incredible thing it's the first word on the line is about 14 lines down is Harvey foreign [Applause] whatever exists in the world exists in man and we'll explain what this means whatever exists in the world exists in man listen to this it's an amazing idea Hashem created forests in the world there's a forest and a man you know what they are you know what the forest and the man is you're here you're here is a forest Hashem created wild animals they're wild animals in you they're lions and tigers and bears in you you know where they are in your intestines you know what you know how Wild your intestines are you know what kind of acids are being excreted in the digestive system you know how the the the muscle digestive system are churning there's like the elephants and lions in there the other sudden nothing continues Hashem created putrid water in the world that's the mucus Hashem created ocean salt water those are the tears Hashem created Duos in the world man's teeth people forget to close the doors that's the only problem Hashem created Sweet Waters in the world that's man's spittle have some created Towers in the world that's your neck I so created pegs those are your fingers Hashem created Kings that's your head Hashem created advisors those are your kidneys meaning whatever phenomenon there there are in the world whether physical phenomenon mountains rivers they're in the human body positions of grandeur they're an even body regions of the world's forests it's all the human body then is what is called a microcosm of the world if you want to know if one would be able to study the human anatomy and really get it down to a science from there they could understand Kawali a man so to speak is a miniature universe with this desire hakadosh unlocks one of the greatest mysteries in the Tyra it's an incredible and all the malfunctions struggle take a look at number 23. about your email like him and God said now remember when it came to creating the light Hashem when I came to the sky you hear what Kia when it came to the land when it came to to the to the waters Hashem said I remember like him you covered [Applause] let us make man who's God talking to who's the US isn't there only one God what does God mean let us make man sarashi says it doesn't really mean us Hashem was just showing modesty um humility that a great person should always ask the advice of his inferiors Hashem was asking them Allah if he should make man God never God never made man together with any deity there was no other deity it's just their own expression but this is not satisfied with that answer alone and the Zaya reveals to us an incredible idea that you know what a man is a man is a composite of everything that was created in the first six days that in man is sun and moon and stars and dry around and water and luminaries and fish and birds and reptiles and a rhinoceros and an elephant and a lion and a beer and a boa constrictor and a Viper and all kinds of spiders and bugs and every creation is in man and after what was the last thing Hashem created the last thing God created was was man so Hashem before he creates man he turns to all of creation and he says okay we're all in this together everybody contribute your characteristic and personality put it in the pile and I'm gonna mix it together and make a man who's us all of creation contributed to man man has in him the might of the lion the boldness of the leopard the swiftness of the deer the likeness of the eagle the poison of a snake The Brood power of the Rhinoceros now obviously not literally but there's the personality and the characteristics of every dimension of the world exist in man and then it is incumbent upon us to tap into our inner being and access all of these forces that lay dormant inside of ourselves not Sodom you know who created man all of creation created man says an incredible thing what's the last pus again yeah last plastic ishma the end of the day after everything has been heard essay fear God that's the slice of Shemar guard the midst Adam fearing God is the entire man listen carefully the entirety of man the definition of man the what is the sole definition really that's all that all that's all man that means if you don't have hiroshimaim you're not a man why would that be what about a guy who's very polite and very courteous and very respectful he just doesn't fear God he's not a man why wouldn't he be a man why would yoshimaim be the only criteria to be considered a man means that God turned to the elephant and The Lion and the snake and the Viper and the tiger and the cheetah and all the vicious animals and Hashem said let's make man who's more dangerous an Adam or a boa constrictor and Adam is more dangerous because Ebola constrictors only Ebola constrictor but an album is a boa constrictor and a rattlesnake and an elephant and a lion and all the vicious animals together you know if you and if you don't think that's true who would you rather who caused more harm one lion or one Hitler one lion or one Stalin one lion or one hellmanitsky and Adam can be the biggest fire much worse than an animal primarily because aside from the fact that a human being has in them the capability to be vicious they also have one thing that makes them much more dangerous they have Das so if the lion only had us he'd figure out a lion can never drop an atom bomb and Adam could drop an atom on the question is how strong does a cage have to be to hold down a lion has to be you know you can't I would not recommend using plastic you know poles for the lion cage you need Steel and how strong does the cage have to be to hold in the snake so I went to the bank suits on the glass by the snakes it said don't tap on the glass because what would you do if it breaks taka it's a good argument good point there right how thick that glass has to be if you need a strong cage to hold down a lion and you need iron change to hold down a tiger just imagine what kind of chains a person needs to restrain all of these animal forces within them what are the chains that contain a person and restrain a person's animal instincts there's only one bar in one chain you know what that is fear of God fear of God is what keeps or now you see the thing is we're jam-packed because on the one hand we could use our lion quality when that alarm gets Rings jump out of bed and run to Shore and we could run and be Swift like a deer and when things are difficult we'll see you know sometimes the person says I have to learn every day I used to every day like Old Faithful I mean come on that's not so exciting I mean I learned once in a while every day of learning see don't worry look at the Rock does Iraq have an exciting life the rock is able to sit there for how long you know the person says well my limit ensure Shabbos money is 11 o'clock the moment 11 o'clock comes I don't care where the cousin's up to I'm out here I did my time we say pal look at The Rock The Rock doesn't say I'm only sitting here for x amount of hours The Rock just sits there and it doesn't move so see that this year and don't move no I have to check my phone no the rack doesn't check its phone see I'm not Iraq you are a rock you have the characteristic within you to be like a doname and you could tap into it and you could unleash it and channel it foreign but instead what do we do sometimes we sit at a share like a rock you know there's the different abilities of Iraq different capabilities of Iraq they're different capability we're going to just go develop this a little bit further namala you know why they banished be bold like the leper isn't that ridiculous no you have the crack of the leopard in you you just need to unleash it and access it you have the governor of the Lion in you because you're an autoim is a composite of all creation you have the Gabor of the line in you you just need to access it you have the swiftness of the dealer you have the lightness of the ego you have the alacrity and the energy of the ant yes you could work hard in Alberto's Hashem like the ant because you have that capability the aunt was kind enough to donate its characteristic in your creation but on the other hand we also have the laziness of the slug so you have to know when to access energy and want to access laziness and want to access in other words if somebody says come come with me to this bad place and say I'm sorry I'm very tired right now I'm a slug I'm just gonna sit at my place right now and utilize that characteristic and when it comes time and when people are doing the wrong thing and you need a certain gevura to stand up to it that's when you Unleash the Power of the lion but yuraim is what contains all of these dangerous forces so my good friend Dr Penner said maybe we could read the post like take a look at number 23 but you remember like him Hashem said he turns to all of creation he says let us make man the year do it's typically read man will dominate the fish and the Bulls and the animals so we tend to think yeah man's gonna go out and be a fisherman a man's gonna be a hunter and he's able to trap and that's certainly true but maybe the message of the public is the year do he will dominate the fish in him the bird in him the Behemoth in him the Remus and him the purpose of man is to be able to control these instincts and harness them and hold them and Shadow them in the proper way so let's just uh make a right turn and then a left turn says what does real heal this time are like this we say in Shema that if cloudy Soul serves Hashem has no patience why because we have to to who to learn from and we're not learning from them we have no room to learn from so ask him Israel hold this time what do you mean we have no one to learn from but the mother says in arabin we could have learned sneos from the cat we could have learned carefulness from Arias from the Dove and we could have learned dark hearts and the chicken so why couldn't we have learned from the animals and since we could have learned from the animals God should have destroyed us right away no the problem was we weren't able to learn from the animals why weren't we able to live in the animals they're all deviant they're all corrupt so when God saw user of Israel that all the animals were corrupt then we were communicates okay uh you know now there's no alternative it's only why did Hashem have to destroy man they were hopeless why were they hopeless they have no one to learn from why do they have anyone to learn from because all the animals were corrupt so why did Hashem destroy them right away because they were also Anonymous it wasn't their fault they couldn't even learn from the animals but we only find that the animals were corrupt in Arias but we don't find so so what does that mean that means the dove who's normally very careful and very Chast deviated and instead of being loyal to its spouse was it immoral but we don't find anywhere in Hazard that the ant started to steal oh since we bought a charlem my next problem the reason why their decree was sealed is because of robbery why because robbery that they should have learned from the ant not to steal that's the one character is that's one um that's the one the heroes that the animals continue to be zahirin and therefore says even though maybe for our iOS I'll be patient with you because the animals are as barakoi but when it comes to stealing Lake you should have gone to the ant the ant the ants are still being honest citizens and therefore says with David cron glass and by the way this idea of of uh this concept that the DAR hamab had no one to learn from because the animals corrupted their ways this is also found in one of the karma in the taras yeah um they didn't have who to learn from and therefore Hashem sort of was more patient with them they did in what in the volume yeah because we had the Tyra right okay yeah so let's just um conclude with the following says of David cron glass this is a very empowering and enobling idea and concept that means the person doesn't even realize how much power is latent in them you know if if somebody was told you you know how much you could accomplish you have the might of the line imagine a a young man or even a middle-aged man or even someone like us we think to ourselves what are we going to accomplish in life we work a whole day we come home to schmatter we're exhausted what could I accomplish already what could I could I become great enough Hashem because we don't even recognize what's dormant inside of our personalities if we would realize study all of creation see what every animal's characteristic is and realize that we have it within us and we could tap into it and we could bring it out and bring it to the Forefront we would be surprised at our own capabilities and therefore says with double Chrome glass they're really two ways of looking at the world on the one hand man was the last thing created everything was created to serve this man all the animals are to serve as us we could hunt we could Shack we could trap but on the other hand we have to walk around life with very open eyes that even though everything is created for us we need to develop the the habit and the attitude that we are now talmudim of all the animals and all the plants and all matter and we become talmudium of the Sun and the Moon because there are powers and abilities and capabilities that they have that we could learn from and realize that we have the same capabilities for example for example Iraq an inanimate object you know how everybody knows about themselves that we are always subject to slackening off and weakening of our energies and how often we say okay I just can't do it anymore every day every day Old Faithful I just I don't have it within me but that's exactly what Hashem tells Kai Israel I summon to you the Sun and the Moon and Hashem says does the sun ever stop Rising does the does the Earth ever stop producing produce is that a logical argument that's a very logical argument Hashem is saying look at the sun the sun rises every day Old Faithful the point being you have within you the power of the sun you have the power of consistency you have the power of doing things on a regular basis despite the fact that you've done it so many times you could still do it again without any weakening of your energies without any slackening off because you are created from the Sun meaning the sun contributed it's steadfastness and it's um and it's consistency to man let's talk about the plans what could a person gain from the plans there is no blade of grass that doesn't have a Mara beating it grow grow grow grow that means what's the primary characteristic of a plant plant is always growing it's always growing that means a person has the ability within them to say okay I did that last year but this year I'm a different person or today I'm a different person or I'm different this island I'm like a plant I have the ability to constantly rise higher now moisturabinu says Rashi explains just like the wind strengthens the grass and causes them to rise up so too divoritara causes a human being to be megado to grow that means a person should think to themselves wait a second you know when when the gardener comes to your house the place in March and April does it you know how often does a gardener mow the lawn he's supposed to come every week why why why can't you know why can't the gardener just come at the end of the season and mow the law that's because the Grass Is Always growing and if you're gonna skip a week you know the grass is going to be too long that means a person should think to themselves that I have the ability of growth like a grass that means on a weekly basis I'm raising myself up I'm becoming a different person I'm going higher and higher on at a rapid Pace in a real way the same way Grass Is Always growing here's another thing to think about Chrome glass es every plant has a seed in it says Ramen why does every plant have a seed in it because if it didn't have a seed in it then after a week or two or three letter dies that would be the end of the plant but the plants wants the continuity of the species and therefore it always has a seed in it to be able to produce the Next Generation a person has to think it's not enough if I'm growing in spirituality what about the Next Generation what about other people am I influencing others am I influencing my children my influencing future Generations we said why do I need to worry about that it's not a matter of why you need to you have to know who you are you have capabilities of being an inanimate object when somebody insults you and you want to punch them in the face you should say to yourself right now I'm a rock I'm Kevin dime I don't need to react so you say how is it you but I'm a human being I'm insulted on my feelings are hurt I need to strike back no right now you're a piece of dirt just say that you have that ability to make it to like nullify your existence what is another yesiah say ing that the donkey and the ox they know who feeds it they know it's they know who the master is they will not go work for someone else because they have a certain loyalty and to the master who feeds them the food but yes not faithful to Hashem what's the navi telling us the navi saying learn from an ox to be faithful to your God I should learn from an ax yeah because you have the power of the accent you have the power of the harmony so ah it's so hard so after a long day of work to come out to a sheer I feel like um I felt like a third Governor Fred your mom is your food that's a good time to say to yourself and the same way buckles under the heavy responsibility of schlepping that that a Yin has a responsibility of Lima data that's one of our very important responsibilities in life and even if it's not so easy and so it doesn't mean it's it's convenient it means you have the ability to unleash the power of the hammer and carry the burden and the oil and then finally we will um we'll talk about the ant the double Chrome glass says why would Hashem make the ant gather so much food think about it the ant in its entire life only needs to eat one and a half grains of uh and it gathers like a million times more than it needs because the answer is maybe I'll live longer but they don't live longer he says it could be God only created the end as a message to us that a person should never be satisfied with the amount of Tire missus that they amass because even though the ant doesn't know that it will live beyond six months we do know that there's a world of Eternity that we have to prepare for the entire creation of the ant is to be able to teach us to gather and gather in a mess and collect as much Tire emit source as as possible but at the same time you know and and this is in a very practical way as well you know even in a person's own career a person has to work hard at their job you can't be lazy at work you can't slacking off you have responsibilities at work you learn the lesson on the end but at the same time you know sometimes when a person is very ambitious so they step on everybody and uh you know if they could hop a downer they would have gone to somebody else no the ant despite being so ambitious and very hard working is extra the same hands which is the most ambitious of all the animals is the most careful from robbery and therefore a scissor of double Chrome glass have the following image in your mind if somebody were to deposit in your house say well Ben C you know um you mind I'm going away next week would you mind uh watching my rhinoceros and my elephant and my lion and my boa constrictor so I don't think you would say Rabbi yeah just deposit in my living room we'll take care of it you're not taking responsibility for it until you're absolutely for sure that you know how to keep these things in check in the right cages with the right chains with the right and then you'll say no problem you could I'll be happy to Garden for you that's really Hashem deposited by every human being a Teva full of animals and we have to learn how to first of all keep all of these animalistic instincts in check because you know look the reality is you could be a very nice guy and you could be very well-meaning and sometimes you know you lose it and when a person loses it they could be a fire up so a person has to realize that they have tremendous characters in them co-host of Devastation and destruction and they have to a person has to learn who they are what their capabilities are and also and even more importantly to Channel all of these forces unleash them unlock them access them and if a person recognizes that they're they're loaded you know every human being you know sometimes you look at your kid oh my kid what's going to be with them is he is he really talented is she really talented is are they really capable are they capable they have powers of gavora and azos and swiftness and power and loyalty that you can't even fathom don't underestimate your children don't endorsement yourself personally I'm not I'm not an important I don't I don't really have such great capabilities yeah what are you talking about you're you're a killer whale you're a tiger you're a leper you just have to figure out how you're gonna unleash these forces and use them to elevate a person to to Greater levels because you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
