[Music] somebody that's looking for the truth will find the truth ASM says in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 4 he says if you look for me you will find me if you look for me with all of your heart and all of your soul so the biggest that person can have is if you're looking for the truth unfortunately some people do not look for the truth but Hashem tries to help them by giving them a and has the truth smacked them in the face multiple times sometimes the truth is going to arrive in a seminar sometimes the truth is going to arrive in a lecture sometimes the truth is going to arrive in a relationship sometimes going to arrive in a text message sometimes going to arrive in a email something's going to arrive in a job a colleague a friend a son a daugh even a dog or cat or cow the truth can arrive in countless different ways there's actually one Tiki how do you say Tuki parrot there one parrot that made two people do chuva already in Israel one parrot that made two people do Chua you know the story of the parrot so tell you the story of the parrot so parrot belonged to a is sadik par belonged to East sadik in Israel and uh when Shabbat would come come in he would say shabbat shalom shabbat shalom shabbat shalom shabbat shalom shabbat shalom so one day somebody stole the parrot somebody stole the parrot but on Monday or Sunday he came back to the rav and wrote back the parrot and Rabbi says oh my parrot you found him he goes no no for I actually want to tell you I uh I stole the parrot but uh after I stole the p i you know I had him in my house and Shabbat came in and he kept saying shabbat shalom shabbat shalom shabbat shalom shabbat shalom and I kept thinking to myself like this parrot knows that it's Shabbat but I'm smoking a cigarette and I realize how terrible I am and I decided I'm G to keep the rest of Shabbat and now I'm starting to do cha I realize how could I start my cha by being a thief so I have to return the parrot so he told this story to people a lot of people got met the parrot it's a real story and later on later on they called the raav and it said for the wow you still have this parrot he goes no you're never going to believe it the same thing happened again another guy stole the parrot came back a week later doing he started keeping Shabbat shabbat shalom shabat shalom so the parrot helped him do CH those people parrot made them sometimes I make him do CH sometimes a parrot makes him do CH who knows there's a verse in Tora in bak bak he says says he he opened the mouth of Theon of the donkey Bam's donkey and the donkey gave M to Bam he gave him the truth bam didn't like it like our generation sometimes doesn't like it so the point is sometimes is going to send you the truth over and over and over away in different unusual ways and the r says eventually aem's patience ends and he decides you will not not you guys the will not do CH he decides that person will not do chuva meaning no matter what that person will never have the inclination to do Chua he decides I don't want your chuva anymore so sometimes these people so the answer to your question is twofold sometimes these people decided they will not do Chu this is a rare but it happens this is rare but it happens yes but Pharaoh actually did cha by the way this is rare but it happens certain people hasem says I don't want your chuva sometimes he doesn't want your chuva this year sometimes he doesn't want your chuva next year or this week sometimes he decid I don't want his Chua period this is the rambam says is the worst punishment on this world worse thanarat worse than uh AIDS worse than losing everything you have becoming homeless worse than anything why Hashem decides you're finished that's the worst but sometimes the V says the V says sometimes it's they made so many sins in their life that they've built a kipa meaning a shell that's made of stone that's covering their heart that's flesh and blood and the sins that they've made made so many sins that they've made got worse why did they get worse not that they made bigger sins sometimes usually the beginning sins are the worse and usually you get older you make lesser sins says no the kipa got worse why because each time you made sins I give you a message don't do it I give you a message do chuva each time you didn't do chuva the kipa got thicker each time you did you did sins I gave you the truth and you still didn't do Chua now it's harder for you to do CH the Ki is even bigger you've been going to lectures for 25 years and you're still not modest how could it be because the kipi is so thick you could build a house inside it why you do CH the first time you heard you didn't like you weren't like you didn't want to hear the truth you didn't you've been going to lexur for 20 years you still don't want to hear the truth why I get questions okay Torah has answers but until then you have to how says I know you have questions but you still there's answers you don't have to wait for the answers because sometimes the answers take time sometimes the answers take time you still have to do it why you can't be the only Jew that's not doing it if everyone else is doing everyone knows it's the rule oh you're the only one the r didn't know what he was talking about thep didn't know what he was talking about they they got own didn't know everybody didn't know except you you came and you gave to the world you don't have to be modest everybody else has to be M except you so people need to understand that each time you hear the truth hm gives you a sign hey this is the truth without all the details you know it's the truth though he still don't do CH it becomes more difficult to do CH the becomes bigger so sometimes those people who tell them the truth they're going to go against not because hem decided I don't want the cha because they've made so many mistakes with all the opport unities that he gave them that becomes much more difficult for them to be receptive because there's still a huge shell it's a huge shell so just like for example you have a wall if it's sheetrock like most of these houses if you shoot a bullet through it it goes right through like it's butter but if it's like the houses in in Israel you shoot it through the wall nothing happens it just makes a little dent and nothing and then it bounce back because it's cement if the kip is is is Sheck you can do CH if the kip is it's going to be much more difficult to do CH much more difficult so the hle yeah these are people you have to feel bad for [Music]
