BITACHON RULE NUMBER ONE (bitachon #5)

[Music] now the BET starts off the following he says there are certain things that are going to to destroy your here we see first and foremost a rule a rule among all Learners of Tor all teachers of Tor all considered why because they're Learners of Tor first rule is the things to avoid before we tell you all the things to do the little tricks you're going to get this easy one and that easy one and that easy one and that easy one there's a bunch of different different things that you can do different training that you can do to get great extraordinary reward in heaven some stuff is so easy to do it's people don't do it it's a complete waste people don't do it you could do certain things that can give yourself an abundance of good but you see most of the sages if not all of them don't start that way none of the books start that way what do they start off with this is the stuff to avoid why because even if you do all of the little tricks all the little all of the little readings of T and the groups and uh all the wonderful things like for example there's a sadik pinto that he uh implemented a few years ago a uh certain that uh some had in previous generations that became very popular in the last few years which is to read the entire book of a book of Deuteronomy like every Shabbat try to read it every shabat the whole thing or once a week but to constantly read it over and over and over again and many of his took it on many of took it on because has an extraordinary amount of it's the one book that's actually written by mhu versus the other four books that are written by hasem himself butm wanted M to include this fifth book that's why in the first four books it says Moshe that Hashem spoke to Moshe whereas in the fifth book in The Book of Deuteronomy doesn't say that says Moshe talks in first person Hashem said to me said to me not uh not Hashem told me Hashem said to me this is what I heard and so on and so forth so there's a lot of M to learn from there anyone that actually reads the book of Deuteronomy commentary by Rashi at least RAM and actually understands it could uh do a extraordinary chuva the problem is that many people don't understand the actual minhag itself don't understand what RAF Pinto actually is saying where they think all they need to do is just read it like you read a journal like you read a newspaper just read the words with or without understanding stuff just read it read it read it a million times and uh uh it doesn't it doesn't do the trick why because T is not a uh it's not one of those things we just uh press the button and eventually something's going to work there's a certain set of instructions certain set of instructions of how to do certain things so many people use this Gul but uh not much happens none of the promises actually happen in their life and they think that there's something wrong with the Gul no no there's nothing wrong with this Gul it's something wrong with them they're just not doing it the right way it's like for example somebody gave you a Formula 1 car Formula One car could drive I don't know 250 miles an hour won the last uh race whatever they're called one the last race can drive 250 300 miles an hour this thing is a beast and you go in there thinking I'm I'm doing it I'm doing it and you start pressing the gas nothing happens press the gas nothing happens a this is a junk nothing start hitting the car kicking the car thought they they they they you know they cheated you start screaming and yelling causing a scene what a piece of junk this is a lemon and the guy says hey hey buddy turn on the ignition turn on the ignition all the gas pedals and the shifts and it doesn't work unless you do it right first turn on the ignition then you can press the buttons and push to this and push to that if you do certain things right it'll work if you don't it's a waste of time so the constantly told us what to avoid first why because even if you do all the good things all the things right you press the gas pedal and you turn on the turn the wheel and you press this and you press that if you didn't turn on the ignition it's all worthless if you didn't avoid all of the things that pretty much cut you off cut you off from the nation cut your connection off from none of this is gonna work if a person does not keep Shabbat if a person does not keep the basics the basics of connection between them and this stuff won't work why because when a person violates major sins Hashem doesn't put him on a list of oh I owe him some good things some sins that a person makes hm can say I consider him my enemy even though he's my son and I love him right now he's on the status of being my enemy we see this at the end of he pays his haters cash to their face meaning sometimes he'll even give them things that will make them think that they're doing okay that they actually have a good relationship with hem they have a brand new car brand new house brand new wife brand new this brand new that everything looks good but in reality behind the scenes if they only knew that they're actually being punished sometimes Hashem gives a person a a huge windfall of money as a punishment why because he knows that that money will destroy him before he had the money he was just living a regular life he was okay wife kids job every day woke up put on his like everybody else one leg at a time everything was going fine he was happy gol lucky people ask him so how you doing he says thank God keep Shabbat no but thank God anyway why because what's wrong with thanking God I love God I just love God my own way so everything was going fine people say oh you see you look happy goes I am happy I am happy really you really happy yeah I'm really happy he he's happy in his own way to and everything is going fine everything is going fine all of a sudden one day he getss a deal that changes his life the equivalent of a lotto winning he signs a deal with Boeing he signs a deal with uh one of these uh Fortune 500 companies that immediately puts an extra 1520 million in his bank account money that he's never seen such money he thinks honey we did it we did it honey we finally made it 18 months later he's divorced his kids hate him and the client left him too what happened we did it 18 months ago yes but during those 18 months that wind full of money changed him he started wanting things that he didn't want before he got the money all of a sudden he want two wives or three an occasional girlfriend to on the side all of a sudden he wanted to go to certain places for vacation all of a sudden he wanted to do certain things that he didn't even think about wanting before he had the money in essence Hashem gave him a gift a wind full of money to destroy him that's why it actually says on the over there when you uh is when somebody loses money they should thank AEM but when they make a lot of money there's a there's a debate does he thank AEM saying you know to a special blessing he's got a wind full of money or no say don't do anything you want a lot of money you got a lot of money in a short period of time stay quiet don't even say extra thank you why maybe it's a punishment maybe it's a punishment obviously if you're a righteous person then most likely it's not but how many of us can look in the mirror and says for sure I'm righteous M and me we're twins we're twins we have the same Villa [Music]
