[Music] clearly the difference between the Torah study and secular study is only one thing Torah study obligate you to have secular study obligate you to do nothing nothing which means if I was here I telling you listen I've trained over 135 different people to become sales people some of them became multi-millionaires and I was going to tell you all the different things that you need to do to become a top salesperson if you came to my meeting by the time you left you'd be crying but you'd be knowledgeable why because the price would be the same I would give it to you on your head I'll would tell you everything you're doing wrong you're lazy you're this you're that everything I'm telling you is M that's what I taught I told people they're lazy I told people that they're late I told people that they don't try hard enough all the things that self-help does all the things that leaders do they teach you stuff that is going to help you what's going to help you things that you're lacking so the self-help gurus of the world what they tell you you're late you're lazy you're this you're that all your deficiencies they remind you of them stop it and do better but because it doesn't obligate you to do anything because you already paid the fee you don't care if they tell you it you wow he's right he's a genius wow he told me to wake up at 6 o'clock in the morning wow what a Innovation wow he told me to to study until 1:00 in the morning think about it for myself and like and like reflect wow this guy is like it was worth the find ,000 you don't want you understand why they don't they're not telling you anything different than me they're telling you you're lazy they're telling you you're not doing enough they're telling you not working hard enough they're telling you need to improve they're telling you all those things same thing it's just that they're not obligating you they're not telling you that if you don't do it there's going to be punishment tell you whether you do it or not it doesn't make a difference to me you still pay me whether do it or not doesn't make a difference so you feel like you've already done half the job anyway I paid the guy whether I do it or not it's my responsibility whereas with somebody that's teaching you m teaching you number one you're not paying and number two if you don't do it you're you're in serious problems and has nothing to do with me that's the difference that's the difference between secular studies and Torah studies so when I a fake Rabbi removes the removes the aspect of the Torah then what he's doing in reality is that he's teaching something that's Divine the same way that you teach a secular book he's turning the toah into a history book that's why he's so if your Rabbi is teaching you Torah like it's a history book He's any questions
