Chofetz Chaim Secret Ticket to Heaven (4 Minutes)

Sometimes Hashem is gonna give you difficulty that you don't want. In fact most of the time, it's the one you don't want. So you're gonna pray for a shidduch. You're gonna pray for parnasah. You're gonna pray for a kid. You're gonna pray for certain things that you want and Many times it's gonna cause you to neglect other things. So you pray for a shidduch but you're not focusing on the rest of teshuva. You're praying for parnassah, Ah, but you're not focusing on limud. You're praying all different things -- something you want which many times causes you to neglect something else and the problem is: Is that you are now extending your problem. So someone came to the Chofetz Chaim almost a hundred years ago and asked him: Kvod haRav, is there a ticket to Gan Eden? Meaning is there like a shortcut? Is it like one thing you can do and you got Gan Eden. You know like you can finish the Shas --I don't know-- five times ten times, I don't know like-- if you learn the the entire Shulchan Aruch by heart or something. If your -- your beard is -- reaches the floor. I don't know Is there something you can do? You know you're in Gan Eden? guaranteed Gan Eden, is there? Anybody know? Chofetz Chaim says: Ha sameach be chilko Someone that's happy with his share. But not happy with his share like we think happy with his share. Not happy with his share like we think happy. Happy with his share means: To us. Oh, he has five bucks. He's happy with five bucks. He has ten dollars. He's happy with ten dollars has ten million . he's happy with ten million. No, that's not happy with his share, Rabbotai. That's not what the Chofetz Chaim was saying He's happy with his share means that when Hashem gives him problems He gives him a broken leg. He gives him a broken window. He gives him a broken marriage. He gives him a broken child He gives him a broken head He's happy. Why? This is exactly where Hashem wants me now. Meaning Hashem could have given me every possible opportunity in the world to do to serve him This is what he's given me: these problems. Now. He -- Meaning he wants me to serve Him under these conditions With no money, with no wife, with no kids, with ... All the problems that I have right now -- is exactly what Hashem wants me now. That's the ticket: Being happy like that. Being happy meaning I'm gonna not only be happy. Now I'm gonna serve him the best under these circumstances. Never say oh if I would have had more money than such-and-such. or if I would have had such-and-such then such --- No, No, No! That, Rabbotai, is kfira. That's kfira. A person can never say if I had such-and-such Then I would do such-and-such. That -- you are not allowed to do that. Why? because in essence what we're saying, is that Hashem is making a mistake. Hashem made a mistake. If he gave me more then I could do better job for him. Which means that you know better than Hashem. We don't know better than Hashem. [www.BeEzratHashem.org]
