this Tower class is brought to you by torahanytime.com okay now we're uh we're learning the Italian received the tradition of Tyra from yehudiben tabai and shiman Ben shatta yudimentabai was the nasietta was the Nasi of talion was the abbasden of course came from foreign hate power vials do not befriend the government says um love work is a person should not cease physical work because not working brings to boredom and boredom brings to insanity rev Miller would say many mental illnesses could be cured by getting a job because most anxiety and worry and confusion and and things that plague a person's mind is only because they have too much time on their hands to think about it so the mission is giving you good practical advice don't stop working that it brings to boredom it's don't you should know not being active is just laziness enu the desire of the lazy man will kill him because his hands refrain from acting right Salama that means when a person trains their limbs um and uh does not allow them causes them to refuse to work then when you desire to do something your limbs will refuse so when a person trains their limbs to be inactive so even when you want to use them your limbs will not cooperate because habit will dominate them so that's what it says in mishley the desire of the lazy man will kill him because his hands refused to work the um it says about the lazy man in the winter the lazy man doesn't plow and he seeks in the Harvest and there's nothing there he thinks at the time of rest when it's time to enjoy the Harvest he will have rest who epic just the opposite by rest he will have to toil meaning people think that by resting it will be more peaceful just the opposite by resting it will cause more yegia what does this mean because of the winter he will rest and he will stand in his house and he will not plow the show al-ba Cuts here he will ask in the Harvest to gather wheat Valley won't be there vyama's brother he will die in hunger one who works in the winter he will be satiated it goes like this everyone has to work in this world some people work in the plowing season so when it comes to harvest season they could rest but people who are going to take it easy they think oh I'll take it easy life will be more peaceful but then later in life when it comes time that they're gonna need it they're going to have to put in more work later so it's the people who work the hardest vacation the most the people that Mosey around they have the the most effort to put into this world some who someone who runs over emptiness and he goes after those who just sit around on the street corners that are bottled from malacha he will be satiated with shame so the first thing is love work manual labor should not be beneath you detest power summer it juxtaposes this idea to working the ground they're one subject foreign hate just having position and being inactive because that will ultimately lead to death by poverty but yeah be engaged in your work the whole day like we say better to take menial labor and not to say oh I'm a great person that's beneath me shouting available better to spread out a carcass in the market get a few bucks rather than to say yeah I'm a Korean give me truma I'm a big Rabbi give me money so basically is saying better to lower yourself and work physically than just to be inactive and collect vials better to be lowly and be a servant than to take honor and be lacking bread Nicolette doesn't mean to be ashamed it is the opposite of The Prestige of someone who takes honor in position so the first thing is love work the second thing is hate position the third thing is do not befriend the government work working in politics is very difficult foreign if you take upon yourself that you're going to be assistant to the governor to the mayor and you take upon yourself the Yoke of Flesh and Blood safely in the end you are going to cast off the Yoke of heaven and you're going to be Movado because you're going to be so scared of the government don't think I'm going to get covered from it the amount of intense labor that they're going to put on you the the amount of work you're going to have to do is going to be so overbearing you're going to eventually have to cast off the oak of Heaven you will have to yeah you'll work for the mayor you'll work for the governor you work for the president but you're going to be coming you're gonna have to leave early from chakras because you have to serve a basavadam instead of serving the end will be done eventually if you're in politics you're going to lose your money soon they'll see that you don't really have any you're not doing anything you don't have a purpose you're not accomplishing anything they're only bringing you close to them for their purposes at least one time you will not be able to fulfill their desires it's not going to be good for you so basically stay away stay away from politics that was the advice of the shalim shamaya um okay you've just experienced another Torah class brought to you by torahanytime.com
