Every single person that's looking for the truth is finding it. I got a 15 16 year old kid sent me a text this morning. He's been watching his greet for some time now. Hashem and he sends me you saved my life. I didn't save your life. He says I know what life is now. I enjoyed the holiday. I enjoyed life. my head. Why could he stop making a sin that he didn't realize all this time is destroying him? People think that I'm exaggerating when I say the things that Kazal says about what wasting seed leads to health problems, financial problems, relationship problems, life problems, every problem. I got one student mesh miskin almost three years. Almost three years I'm trying to help him stop wasting seed. almost 3 years. He's almost a he's almost almost a lost case. Hashem is still alive. That's why I say he's not a lost case, but almost 3 years he cannot. He's so addicted to it. He cannot stop. And I'm seeing him with my own eyes. I am seeing it. How his health is deteriorated from 3 years ago. Right now, mash, he looks like a ghost. He looks like a ghost. And he himself can't see it. He doesn't realize it's connected to the two. It's like, "Yeah, I don't feel good. Why? What happened? Yeah, my head hurts. Why does your head hurt? You're 18 years old. 19 years old. What? 18. What your head? You be glasses? No. Why this? Why, mama? You see my head hurts? Okay. Next day, my hip hurts. Why your hip hurts when you're 90 years old? My hip hurts. Oh, my foot hurts. My eyes hurt. I can't see. I can't. This like all his whole body is breaking apart. Just like we send this you can he cannot connect it to I keep telling him gotta do it he is addicted mis I feel bad for him the g that a person creates for themselves in this world for making big sins is much much worse than the g that they're going to see in shine much worse >> in this world why because explained mean that an is somebody that waste seed someone's someone that makes one of these you know goes with his wife when she's someone that does one of the big sins eats eats on all types of big sins supposed to get a death penalty say how is their death penalties. Death penalty is supposed to be here and there. So how is it there? We already know the fire, the burning, the lava. We know already, but most people can't even imagine uh you know getting cancer in this world. You want them to imagine getting home. Well, no one thinks they're going to get cancer. No one thinks that their kid is going to die at 2 years old on the second day of Sha like one of the people that I said to. No one thinks that they're going to have the doctors going to tell them, "Listen, yeah, you know that that growth you have in your arm." Yeah, you have six weeks to live. No one thinks like that. No one thinks things like this. But one thing they can think is theim explained that one of the punishments of Ket is death penalty. But not physical death, spiritual death. What's spiritual death? Spiritual death means You are disconnected from the oning from the enjoyment of the mitzvah. You have a mitzvah. You have a beautiful suka, but you're so so like consumed with the fact that it's hot, you forget that you're in a suka. You forget that you're in a suka. You have kush, your family, your wife, your husband, your children, the relatives, the in-laws, the outlaws. Everyone's there. Everyone likes you. Everyone says, "Oh, wow. You have a nice house. You have a that shabbat shalom. Shabbat shalom. The food come." Instead of enjoying the the beauty of everything that's happening, you're thinking, "Yeah, you know, it's too much salt in the food." I got to tell her something after they leave. I got to tell my wife she didn't make it good. Instead of enjoying the moment of the mitzvah, you're too busy thinking about salt. You're too busy thinking about the heat. Or better yet, you're too busy thinking about Monday, but it's Friday. You're thinking about Monday. Why? Because Monday I have work. I can't wait to go back to work. He tells you why you can't go, baby, to go back to work. I like my job. Oh, you like your job? Let me prove you otherwise. If you want the the mega millions, $500 million. You go back to work on Monday. Absolutely not. Okay, you don't like your job, you're a liar. Why? If you like something you do for free, you just say you like your job because you hate your family and your life and you can't wait to leave. So you like that hell more than what you think is hell here. Why? Because you have what's you forgot. You don't have the feeling of enjoyment from the you have in front of you. You can't enjoy it. Can't enjoy it. Rabuven AI is speaking here. The main lesson from Sukkot is simka, complete happiness and joy in serving Hashem. The Torah commands us specifically for this holiday. You shall be completely joyous. But this is one of the hardest mitzvah to fulfill because you're outside for a week dealing with weather, bugs, guest, family dynamics, and all types of challenges. Yet, this is exactly the point to serve Hashem with joy regardless of your circumstances.
