[Music] the initial feeling that a baby gets when he or she first stands is unbel believable they're so happy that they stood up that it's like the greatest thing in the world there you look at their smile and say wow I want to be that happy like this baby this this this year old baby is so happy that he stood up even though he's going to fall in his tushy two seconds later for those two seconds he's the happiest baby on planet Earth but then after a while he's not so happy about standing anymore why he wants more he wants more than standing he wants to start walking so he takes a few steps and he falls he gets a little upset so he gets up again and he falls he gets up again and he falls and it's not enough him he's not as happy you see him start walking taking a step he's not as happy when you start getting happy I have to start taking three four five steps like he's the happiest thing in the world why I took took four steps like he just he just discovered America but guess what after a little while four steps not enough why he wants to run like his brother and sister why it's not enough to just take three four steps yeah but you were feeling good yesterday yeah yesterday yesterday is a long time ago like my kids tell me you know remember ABA a long time ago yesterday remember when when we were dancing in your office a long time ago yesterday to a kid a long time ago yesterday then he starts running and he runs and he feels good about it but then eventually that's not enough he wants something more that's a BAL Chua a BAL Chua that's going to continue to Aspire for more will get back that feeling and more than what he had originally but a Chua that Sparks discovers the Torah discover Shabbat starts keeping Shabbat but you know it's not really why here another old he no you're not to drive cuz the rabbi said you're going to die you know you're not to use your phone cuz the Rabbi says you're going to die you know you're not allowed to touch different things so cuz the Rabbi says you're probably going to die Rabbi keep saying you keep dying so he doesn't move the whole shab he sleeps guess what after six months of this he hates Shabbat why he doesn't know why he's keeping it he puts on feeling why cuz the Rabbi says if you don't have you're going to die so he put He put after six months of this he can't stand going to Sho why why am I putting this rubber stuff on me this leather this is it real is it what's in it why does hem care about this stuff why is it Square why can't I make it like you know triangle make it like a mavid maybe I should style it put some stickers on it tattoo it on my hand engrave it do something cool put some rims on it or something at least Rabbi no come on let me do something with this make it stylish n it's boring boring 3,300 years the same piece of leather Square black it's like depressing Rabbi what he doesn't know anything about this mitvah how's he going to enjoy it it's parked at standing after a while standing is not enough why the wants more the wants more sh is telling you why do you lay why why is it Square why is it black why don't you ever see somebody with pink and rims on a t why why do we do it what does the Torah say about it how come the says there are certain people that sin and they get punished for a year but there are certain people that sin with their body and their punishment is eternally even after mashia it says what kind of example says example is somebody that doesn't put on he goes to Gom forever why is it such a big deal doesn't put on it's just some leather straps was a big deal why is it such a big deal he doesn't know he never discovered he never looked into it he doesn't actually care and that's the problem so long as he doesn't care he's never going to enjoy the Mitzvah he's never going to get that original feeling that he had in the beginning when he did care he did care in the beginning about who Moshe raenu was he did care in the beginning about Shabbat she did care in the beginning about modesty she did care in the beginning about who a rabbi is she did care about in the beginning about what kind of kosher food she's going to eat he did care in the beginning about all types of things but then he stopped caring so that feeling went away with the careness if he cares less the feeling goes away and he's like a little baby that's standing but it's 7 years old it's not so much fun if you're 7 years old to just stand you want to run you want to climb you want to do stuff so you want that feeling you have to work hard you have to get your to keep going keep caring this is also why in the holiest place on Earth the bet mikdash inside the BET mikdash even inside the bet mikdash there was a holiest point on Earth inside it it was called KES Kim and inside The KES kesim that was the holiest item in the world in the universe was thees why inside it were the Ten Commandments both the set that's broken and the other second set was the staff staff of M staff of aren yeah had the man in a jar yet the original SE that M wrote all types of amazing things now all of these holy things on top of it would speak to theen would speak to M on top of it with a area that's a The Voice will come out of it from where from the space between two Angels the there were two angels in Gold engraved there that were looking at each other two cute little angels with the image of babies now if I was to makees I'd make him like a X-Men I make the the angels look like X-Men like a Hulk diesel jacked got you know biceps from here to next town maybe has a sword or something or a jackhammer you mess with me I'm an angel right that's why I don't make anything I make jokes of myself that's what I make but made babies why did he make babies on the most holy place in the world inside the holiest place in the world inside the holiest holiest place in the world inside on top of it where's voice comes out it's two little babies why two little babies why two little babies he wanted to tell us that the holiest thing on earth is coming from this imagery why what's coming from two babies what to have babies is the most holy thing in the world what if the baby's Hitler that's still holy no obviously it's not that he says look at these babies look at these babies what do you think of when you think of a baby other than cute you think of the baby's personality a baby's personality is that he always wants more he wants to learn more he wants to do more he's interested in everything everything goes in his mouth everything he wants to look at everything he wants to do by himself he says that's what you're supposed to be you're supposed to want more more of aem's Torah more of aem's mitv more understanding of the divine presence more that's what we have ambition for about chuva is like a baby a convert is like a baby they want everything if you stay with that mentality you'll get really far you'll get to the holiest place on Earth holiest place in the universe if you stay with that mentality and you exercise that mentality of wanting more more MIT more T more knowledge more Clarity you'll arrive at the greatest point that anyone else can but if you stop acting like a baby and you don't want more anymore cuz you're happy with what you have you start acting like a retiree you just want to sit there and do nothing until you die then you start suffering then everything becomes like a burden then putting onine is like you're putting on chains keeping shab it's like almost like they sending you to a guest chamber eating kosher it's almost like you don't want to eat it why I don't know why it's just not good to me being married all of a sudden seems miserable having kids you start thinking about the money it's going to cost you all MIT become like a burden it's like one sack of potatoes why you don't want to put in anything into it you don't want it when you don't want something automatically it becomes bad when you don't want to be married automatically your spouse becomes ugly when you don't want kids automatically you don't like anyone else's kids either when you don't like your job guess what automatically you start seeing everything that's wrong with this company how come it didn't matter to you for the first five years you worked for them how come all of a sudden everything is wrong with this company how come he didn't say nothing for the first five years you don't want to work for somebody automatically the boss is rotten how how come you didn't say he's rotten for the first five years you don't want to do mitv all of a sudden all the rabbis are terrible all of a sudden you're having questions about God who made God how come you didn't ask this the first five years how come cuz it's not the question you don't want to be religious you want to be rash enjoy yourself and G no if you're going to do that but once you start realizing my lack of enjoyment is only because
