[Music] people that think that they could just connect to Hashem and ignore the just like listen to them when they want not listen to them when they don't want they have no idea what they're talking about there is no such thing as an intermediary in Judaism but are not intermediaries are simply telling you what AEM said because you don't know what he said because you did not toil over the Torah for all of the Decades that they had you cannot interpret the Torah like they can and that's the reality if you think you can then ego is your problem because is willing to change nature for the he's not necessarily willing to change nature for some Average Joe because those there is representativ they're the ones that he relies on to give the message to the rest of us and there they there such favor in his eyes he loves the so much that he literally changes the world for them they say something he fulfills it and this is one of the most valuable things that a person needs to know when they're asking a someone that has or perhaps a they're asking a question and the response that they got doesn't sit well with them take that opinion of your yours that tells you this response doesn't sit well with you take it crumble it inside a little piece of paper put some oil on it cooking oil or the oil from the car whichever one you prefer whatever's whatever's faster access then take a match perhaps maybe a lighter depending on your preference put them in a bucket so it doesn't cause a big fire and burn that opinion of yours burn it as soon as possible why your opinion doesn't matter if you asked a a question and he gave you an answer according to the Tor you do it just like as if God said to do it why because now that you've asked a question and he gave you an answerin like him I'll give you an example somebody came Toki he said I'm about to retire in some months and I I was wondering whether I should take all my pension money and buy a house in this C such and such Community ra kanski says to him come back to me when you have the money now Kanki is not much of words he doesn't he doesn't have conversations with people you know says a few things finished next the guy gets up confused more confused than he was before says why iski telling me come back when I have the money is he really telling me that I'm not going to get the money that after 30 40 years of working for this company they're really not going to give me my pension the whole thing is a fraud I'm going to lose everything what's going to happen I don't know why did he say it oh so for the next several months he doesn't know where to go doesn't know what to do he can't wait to get this money but he doesn't have access to it yet after several months finally he retires and he gets the money he comes back Toki he says got the money seski says good you should buy the house he said but why couldn't the tell me six months ago Kanki says to him six months ago it was a hypothetical question because you didn't have the money in your hand so I didn't have the the special assistance from Heaven to tell you the right answer I only had my opinion but now that it's a question that's actual because you have the money in hand you ask me a question I'm giving you an answer and I'm relying on the fact that hasem is the one that's putting the words in my mouth for your sake because now it's an actual question it's a realistic question it's a question of right now it's not a hypothetical question anymore so now I have the answer for you six months ago I didn't have an answer for you now I have an answer for you you ask a something it's a real question he give you an answer you don't like the answer that's too bad why if you are not going to listen to the answers don't ask questions don't ask questions and this is one of the things that hurts a lot of people because they look for Rabbi Noah you know what RAB no is right because every hear RAB no no is not only no from the from the Torah no also means comfort so they're looking for the rabbi that is going to give them the most Comfort meaning whatever is comfortable for you so what did he say do it no it's not comfortable for me what do he say maybe that's not so comfortable for me what he say no do whatever you want oh I like this guy this guy's he told me I can do whatever I want this guy Kad give me a hand let me kiss it let me kiss it why he told me I could do whatever I want this is this is this guy is like Noah no Rabbi Noah rabi Noah so that's the thing you have to understand loves the loves the because they invest their whole life invest their whole life for the sake of the Tor all day and when a person understands that he asks a question he receives an answer and he goes with it same thing with
