[Music] loving Hashem is not a foundation loving Hashem is something you hope to get to after you have fear of hasem now in today's world people don't like to teach this type of Torah and the reason why is because it puts everybody in check everyone looks in their mirror and says wait a minute I gotta do Chua yeah but I've been religious my whole life exactly you got to do chuva now you've been religious your whole life now it's time to do chuva I never did any okay so it's time to do you and the religious guy are all on the same boat everybody has do chuva that's the entire Torah why until you've made the Torah you you have not done you have not done Chua you have not become the full potential of you now anyone that thinks that their understanding of the Torah is more correct than what was just said then they have to go and debate the entire the entire hasem himself and it could be a very expensive battle to fight now one of the ways one of the ways that's a critical step a critical tool for a person to use in order to get to chuva in order to get to the truth is through their Rabbi and the reason why is because a good Rabbi he's going to be your vessel of Truth he's going to be your source of truth you're going to be the vessel he's going to be your source of truth you're going to find out a and from him why he's the one that spent his life learning his energy learning identifying and siing through the falsehood and bringing you a readymade dish to such an extent that the page 109b says that whoever decides to rely on his own knowledge learns to himself learns learns books he has all these books and more books and books and books and books people like to buy books today he has all these books even though he only learns on his phone and uh he says listen if I want to know something I'll just go open a book or Rabbi Google what do I need a rabbi for a person that relies on his own knowledge instead of Consulting with a RAV is despised by God no more no less despised despised mean hates him why because this is a person that has so much ego that he assumes that everything he says is going to be right he assumes everything he's going to say is going to be right when he opens the book and he reads the he assumes that what he understood is right when he opens the he opens the book he said such and such he thinks he understands everything like it's supposed to be said okay I could judge for myself I know how to conduct business kosher I know how to conduct Shabbat kosher I know how to conduct marriage kosher I know okay if I can do everything myself I don't need a rabbi hem hates such a person why because number one it shows that he has bad meot shows that he has no humility and humility is one of the Stepping Stones to become something special in this world it's the ultimate stepping stone humility is to key to become a vessel to earn T forem to give you tah you have to be humble just like mount sunai was the most humble Mountain mosenu was the most humble man each one of the Giants in every generation you will see was always the most humble why once the more humble you are the more hasem wants to give you more Torah the truth but once you think you have it you know it then you could you could be your own Rashi your own to your own R your own your own re your own M your own lecturer your own your everything already we know you failed miserably on rule number one you have no mid the second thing is is that a person like this has such lack of that he so confidence in his own judgment ability that he says listen I'm going to go to the Grave with this decision meaning that if he made a decision that's wrong and according to the Torah it's death penalty and he made a wrong decision he could be making this decision for 70 years every week he's a but he thinks he's aik every week he thinks he's but in reality he's just the guy is driving but he has such a big ego he does not allow himself to learn does not allow himself to get out of his own way and he can never be a person that's called a balua he can never have the Merit of being a balua why he doesn't get out of his own way sometimes you see people going to for 20 years nothing's changed still don't have still don't have t on still walk around with a bathing suit still walk around as if hem is not real still no but I went to this sh three times this week you better off not going why it's not affecting it's the wrong sh or you're the wrong person something's wrong you went to sh for 20 years nothing changed something's wrong said that part of that fault is the rabbi's fault why how are you going to teach somebody for so many years he hasn't changed how is it possible one of the big rabbis one of the big rabbis in Israel was learning K with one of the an one of the people that was a was in the Israeli government but was known to be a known to beash a heretic but not only a heretic a heretic that hated religious people everything he did was anti-religious he would always go for the laws that made the life of the Yeshiva Boys miserable he would always make the laws that make the life of the religious people more measurable take money all types of things now now most people thought he never learned a word of Tora they just thought maybe just a self-hating Jew unfortunately we have many of them thean the Lefty liberals but then one day Shalom finds out he actually is learning with a big Rabbi that's ahead of a Yesa he calls the rabbi he tells him you aren't you learning with such and such he says yeah sure he goes how long ago why don't you why don't you tell tell him that he's making the life of the the the religious community miserable tell him to stop no tell him because no no we don't talk politics we don't talk politics what do you mean you don't learn politics this is Tora he's making the life of miserable what what what Pol not do politics when we come we learn so all asking was wait how long are you learning with him he thought maybe he's learning with him for like two weeks or two months or maybe even uh six months so it's like okay so it's not we not we're not comfortable with each other yet to talk politics maybe he's trying to like you know slowly but surely get him in you know some people they want to go like a snail they figure they're going to live 190 years so we're going to go slowly but surely every week we're going to teach you one letter of the alphabet every week by the time you finish the alphabet you're 190 years old because you have n could the bet theet the no it's not just the the no the vowels also by the time you finish you're 190 years old every week what about Shabbat no no we haven't got to that yet yeah but he's not uh what do you think he think live A Thousand Years what's the matter no little by little what little by little when is he going to know how to be a Jew so didn't know how long is he studying with him he asked him how how long are you learning with this we're probably learning almost 20 years together told him you are no longer allowed to study with him ever what learned 20 years my teach him my student you're not I'm telling you by law according to the T you're not allowed to learn your Torah is poisoned to him what do you means a big big how could it your Torah is poisoned to him why it's not affecting him if you haven't affected him after after a year forget 20 years after a year nothing's changed there's already a problem Rashi says if you haven't advanced in five years of learning Tor you should move on to something else just learn how to be basic level Jew don't be them don't bother why matter what kind of you learning if you're teaching people in in classes and so on 20 years they still it's you that's the problem the teacher and that's what a lot of people don't like to hear why because talks about the person that's speaking it's easy to talk about you guys so now a person needs to know that if he's going to learn T it has to move him it has to shake him he has to take a few notes that he knows this one I don't even need to write it down I'm going to write it because I want to make sure I remember it but I don't even this is already engraved in my mind it shook me up in ISU shook me up I can't believe he said that every she should be I can't believe he said that I can't believe this is true I can't believe hasem command why because it has to shock your system to such an extent he says I can't believe I've been living a lie for 20 30 40 50 60 70 years until now I found out the truth if the entire sh nothing happened like that something's wrong something's wrong more times than not it's the teacher but sometimes it's the student too [Music]
