S.S.S.S. Shiur Guest Speaker Parshas Balak

he brings down that he wanted to know what's the secret of claudius role let's look at their leader masha raveno what is his kayak his power his power was told him his whole power is in his mouth and therefore he says you know what how do you best defense his offense so best offense is defensive against his offense so he went and he said the other who has a very powerful map so the first lesson of the day is we see the power of the mouth the power of a brother powerful if a person hasn't sorrow you go to your financial problems whatever problem he might have what's the first thing that you does he was looking for a school he looks for a brother to go to review give me a brother and the rabbit tells him do more mitzvahs get more success so what does he do when he's in trouble he looks to elevate himself above his problems and stars what does it do well take a look right here bubba goes ahead and he hires billam he tries to suppress the competition he tries to knock down the enemy when he's against someone else he tries to knock down his enemy instead of elevating lifting himself up when you have an election some people take the tactic they try to they try negative campaigning knocking the opponent you know this person raised taxes did all these things and therefore vote for me but he doesn't tell you what he's going to do it what positive effects he's going to have what we saw solante says that he's the two mahatma person has in his life as far as with his friend you could either elevate yourself above the problem or cause michelle a person could try to knock down the other person and the best way is to elevate yourself that's the first lesson we see over there was not just that he knew how to curse but as they say in america timing is everything he knew that as the says he knew the exact second that her college borough got angry every day he knew exactly what that was and as the positive says via day of da sally and he knew exactly what was thinking i asked you a question just because he knew the split second hashem got angry and he said one word what was it destroy them how do you understand that that's what you're dead he knows the thoughts of hashem so the safer based on brother eliakim schlesinger says a beautiful thought he says no of course bloom didn't know exactly what hashem's thoughts were but he knew one thing he knew how had a master gameplay when he created this world what was that game plan that didn't hashem felt that the world should be able to do this i did a very strong justice what a person does it's like i was thinking of the muscle your skull they play uh let's say kickball or punch ball there's one strike and you're out one thing wrong that's it it's all over that's very very strong that was hashem's original master plan but hashem saw no way we cannot survive with that we need at least three strikes or more he institute the concept of rasa name so with that concept we can understand what does it mean you're dead knew the split second that hashem got angry every day and he went back to that original game plan of strong very strong russia was very judgmental of us and he said i'm going to try to take that opportune second and fast forward and try to curse that quality as well and that's what it means he knew that well in his abundant mercy the pastor says meticulously with every little detail at diabetes enough hashem knows how to overlook forgive and forget and that's a tremendous lesson for us when we are looking and judging other people trying to overlook forgive and forget the lesson we should look at other people positively and not just look at the negative in others hashem gave us to us we have those kind to others helpful but generous but then there's also the that's very judgmental very critical analyzing and seeing positive possibly the negative in other in certain situations now a person has to know how to use both eyes the idea is to try to use the right eye more the positive eye being positive that is the main thing that we should be focusing on and use what's called the ayantova more rebellion who calls it the midas being very generous with others i'd like to just quote there's a famous mission on pirkei elvis which could summarize on the main themes of this whole parasha it's in para k missionary test call me other having a good eye right number two which rashi explains is another shafel person is very humble the nephesh follow a person who doesn't have tremendous desires and tigers someone that will keep the shabama russia i want to just discuss and analyze what this is when i was a child and i was in little league and i played baseball they told me if the ball went way over my head beneath the knees good eye good eye and they cheer you on to try to make sure that swing had a good shot let's see in this context what exactly is a good eye an ayah ravenous says someone who's generous he's very happy with his life and what he has in life what are some of the benefits of having a good eye well as a master when it comes to understanding how people think and what being positive is all about rabbi zelda pliskin has a beautiful book called happiness and on page 161 he says the following i thought this is one of the tremendous lessons with the benefit of a good eye something practical that we could take away with us every human being has positive qualities and faults right positive negative qualities when someone does a good deed you can either appreciate it or you can find something wrong for example why did it take so long to do it uh why didn't he do even more how come he did this and not the other thing which i consider more important a good eye sees that the good the good that others do and they give generous praise and acknowledgement and this is one of the biggest lessons here people feel better about themselves when they are in the presence of such a person so one of the tremendous benefits of a good eye is that you feel better about yourself number two the person with the number two also other people much more happy and excited around you the person with the beard eye complains a lot and this robs the person himself for feeling good and he'll lead to saying things that can easily be caused a negative loop and negative statements ultimately boomerang and come back to post problems for that person himself so we see that there are two benefits number one he feels good about himself number two he's at peace with others other people enjoy being around someone else a positive eye so i ask you how can you work on being positive sometimes some you feel very negative or critical what can you do to be positive and i was thinking i saw i heard a beautiful concept by zeb smith and in a nutshell it's called looking at the overall situation look at analyze this story what does villain do he his donkey he starts hitting his donkey and his donkey opens his mouth a miracle he says what are you doing did i ever feel you ha ha from the beginning that we had a relationship until today i never put you in danger i never harmed you one of the biggest keys to success in relationship is look at the overall picture don't focus on one negative thing look at the overall picture and that's what it means don't focus on one isolated event just get frustrated but look at the positive situation so in summary the concepts are number one try we see the power of planet hadiva number two a jew has to elevate himself by thinking looking positively and not knocking others look at the positive not the negative the i in toyota you see the benefits a person feels good about themselves it creates positive energy and you're at peace with yourself and with others and try to look at the overall situation and analyze and see the good i'll
