Through Repeatedly Doing Something Not For Its Own Sake One Eventually Does Do It For Its Own Sake

[Music] they don't really want to do it yeah okay so it's the same the question is if somebody's doing a mitzvah let's see he's donating but he doesn't really want to donate does you really still get the mitzvah better yet we'll add to this question if somebody let's say comes to a shiuta to learn tallah but he doesn't really want to go he doesn't really want to go does he still get a mitzvah should he still go that even if a person does a mitzvah without willpower he doesn't want it he doesn't want to do it in fact he hates it still wants him to do it because once he does it he'll get the merit to see another mitzvah and that other mitzvah will have an opportunity again and the more he does more he connects to these mitzvoth eventually what ends up happening is he starts liking them because he starts tasting the sweetness of the torah in the beginning many times people learn torah they get inspired by shiu or something like that and they want to learn from the books but the books are very different than a lecture why because in a lecture i give you everything on a silver platter i'll tell you where the source is i'll tell you who said it we connect all the different subjects all the different books everything is given to you on a silver platter now if you go take one of these and you start learning it on your own you see that it's a world apart between the gemara and the shu why because the gemara is going to talk about one particular subject for 10 hours and all the different walks of life about this particular subject and every possible question that you can think of and can't think of they're gonna ask and they're gonna answer and they're gonna tell you debates about it but it's in so many words it's focusing and it's narrowing on one particular thing it's not giving you anything on a silver platter in fact you have to toil in order to even understand what is even being said there so it's a world apart so many times when people start learning the books they say oh this is it's not where's the sweetness where's the sweetness the rabbi keeps talking about yeah he's talking he has all the information already so yeah for maybe favorite three but i'm just learning this thing it's not sweet at all it's bitter it's hard it takes me six hours to finish one page who wants to do this so what says exactly that mean initially you don't want to do it initially it's bitter but keep going why the more you keep going the closer you're going to get to that sweetness we're eventually going to start seeing how things add up and now that you've arrived at the right conclusion on your own you feel like this now has become yours you've become part of the torah not just a reader of torah like if you read math if you learn science you do all these things okay so you're knowledgeable about certain things but when you learn torah the right way the torah becomes part of you and that is the sweetest thing that could ever exist in the world so everyone needs a little bit of shurim a little bit of the actual uh svarim obviously there's different levels of learning there's different levels of chewing there's different levels of suffering but the point being is that even if a person does not want to do a mitzvah whether it be learning tala or giving taka whatever it is he should go and she should go and do it why number one hashem said so that's already enough of a reason number two it's good for you yeah but i don't like it it's good for you do it antibiotics you don't like it right it tastes disgusting all of this technological advancements they still haven't figured out to make the antibiotic taste like anything edible but guess what if you have an infection you have to take it why it's good for you why because if you don't take it you'll die from the infection so sometimes we have to take something because the cathodes who said it and that's enough of a reason but sometimes we are stubborn people we need something extra okay it's good for you when is it going to be good for me trust me it's good for you it's just that you're not going to see the benefits of the cure right away may take a little time may take a day may take a week may take a month but point being is eventually going to see it eventually going to get it and when a person does the will of hashem simply because hashem said it they'll eventually taste the sweetness of the now as we learned the other day one from the khazonesh is that one of the most difficult things for a person to uh to overcome in his acquiring of the sweetness of the torah is the fact that he himself is holding himself back because he or she has terrible character traits she wants to learn but still walk around with a half a half a half a clothes you know she wants to learn torah and be holy and read tayleen but she doesn't want to cover ahead he wants to learn torah but he also wants to watch basketball he also wants to curse like a truck driver he also wants to uh you know do all types of things that hashem says is forbidden and he has bad character traits and hazonish thank you says these flood character traits are what's holding you back from the sweetness of the torah so yes you can still get some sweetness some sweetness without perfecting your character traits but to get the ultimate level of sweetness you have to perfect your character traits why because you have to make your physical body a vessel for this pure spirituality that akadoku wants to give to you so the way to do it is by doing things that hashem said even if you don't want to next question we're
