[Music] the reason why I do what I do and I left Wall Street and I left everything is because I'm scared for you I'm okay I keep I learn T I teach hopefully I could before I end my life or hasem takes it back I'll complete my chuva the problem is all the people that are still wasting their life away having no idea why they're here I'm scared for you to go through the hell I went through seven years of this it wasn't a week it wasn't like a bad foot it wasn't like you know he had cancer for 6 months and then he died it was living in hell just here all the time pain all the time everywhere that's what I'm scared of I'm scared of people actually getting to that and if they don't get to it here it gets even worse because the next World which we're not going to talk to because I don't know if you guys are at that level it's much much worse Hashem is not kidding that's why I do what I do you have two options one option is start finding out what he wants the other option he's going to force you to just like he did me why go through the pain why go through the anguish why go through the ton why waste your life away and waste the next 10 of your best years wasting your life doing absolutely nothing with it when all you could be doing is a few mitv become a basic level Jew and everything's fine no one's telling you I have to become a big Rabbi speaker uh travel the world to go help people basic level Jew find out what the Torah says about who's basic what do you have to do to be basic basic cable 60 bucks a month you don't need HBO Showtime and everything else very basic how do I get to basic once you're at basic then you decide what you want to do after but unless you know what the purpose of life is there's no point the one of the greatest sages that ever lived his K came to him and they told him teach us something for so the said you know what it's a good idea I'm going to tell you a story everything that every question you would ask me give you a story a parable he said to him you know Shai is Judgment Day every one of us whether you're Jew or Gentile gets judged on that day most people think it's just a fun day like I used to think it's a fun day you have a bunch of food you go to beesa you see a bunch of friends you haven't seen all Year everyone is dressed to impress you know the women wear extra mini skirts just to make sure everyone knows what their legs look like the men wear extra jewelry like they're 50 Cent everyone is dressed to impress if somebody got a brand new car they make sure to come right before the and park right in front of the B so everyone the entire can see what kind of car they have it's the dress to impress holiday they think that Judgment Day is in 10 days it's yum Kip wrong Judgment Day is sh Judgment Day the day that hem decides whether you're going to live or die whether you're going to havea or not whether you going to be rich poor get married or not Judgment Day is appeal is y meaning if your judgment's not good Shalom your last chance to fix it is yum that's why everyone cries everyone cries in yum because my last chance but if we prepared for the first one like we're supposed to we have nothing to cry about so said listen you have a couple of options there was a couple of people there was a couple of people on a horse and carriage after one of them just stole the National Treasure from the city so he was on a horse and carriage and then he has the driver and they get to a border and they stop him so immediately the guy that stole the treasure gets very worried why is he worried cuz he stole the treasure a thief if they catch him it's not like today they give you a house arrest for the next six months they kill you on a spot back then it's okay this may be my last few minutes he's very worried he's Sweating Bullets the driver on the other hand is also very worried like ah you know I didn't steal anything but I knew about it maybe they're going to blame me like I was part of the whole Act he's also worried okay I'm not the thief but I drove him all the way from there to here somewhat of a partner in this whole thing who's the only one in the carriage that's not worried horse the horse why isn't the horse worried he didn't do anything so the says tells us in don't be like a horse or a donkey meaning when you show up to Judgment Day don't think you have nothing to worry about you're the thief in this story or at the very best you're the driver you're definitely not the horse you made a few sins this year you're screwed up a few times you stole from Hashem if you didn't bless before you ate maybe you stole from a person too by taking money that didn't belong to you maybe you weren't nice to your parents like you're supposed to and then honor your parents one of the Ten Commandments maybe Shalom you drove on Shabbat and didn't realize that the minute you turned on the gas in your car in Shabbat it's 6,000 fires not one fire 6,000 of them I have an engineer that's a student of mine and he did an analysis he said a six-cylinder car six-cylinder which is pretty much the lowest level in today's age driving speed limit 55 mil hour every time you press the gas it's the equivalent of 6,000 fires Hashem said in the Torah don't light fire not fires said don't light fire on Shabbat meaning one time pressing the gas you violated Shabbat 6,000 times maybe somebody did that maybe they even drove more than one second they drove 15 minutes thinking they're doing a mitvah by going to beet with the car in Shabbat a lot of people think that they think that it's okay to drive on Shabbat to besset it's not a Mitzvah so maybe we made that sin maybe we ate Pizza Hut non- coer Pizza Hut and just found out oh wait a minute not only did I eat non kosher pizza but it was Pig too all types of things maybe my girlfriend's not Jewish my boyfriend's not Jewish all types of things we made all types of sins some big ones some small ones some we know about some we don't know about so right now is an opportunity for us to wake up because we're either the guy that's in the carriage is the thief or we're the driver we're definitely not the horse and it's much better that you wake up from my words than wait for hashem's Words cuz his hurt [Music]
