Shnayim Yomi - V'zot Haberachah - Sh'vi'i - #7 - Rabbi Solly Sardar - To Be an Eved Hashem

The Torah tells us that passes away. And the says and Mosherenu passes away. And you have to know that Mosherenu over here is the greatest man who ever lived. He reached levels that were insurmountable. He achieved the highest greatness that any human being could possibly ever accomplish. And for this great man, the Torah gives him a eulogy. And the Torah calls him two words. That's the only words that the Torah can find to give to this great man. He was an Hashem. And the question is why? Out of all his accomplishments that he had, all we could find is that he was an Hashem. All the great things that he accomplished, the Torah couldn't mention. It seems like these two words are the most fundamental praises that we can give to a person who accomplishes in life.

That all a person, all of Mosherenu's accomplishments, his skills, his talent, and every aspect in his life, Mosherenu viewed them as if he was an it doesn't belong to me. It belongs all to Hashem. all my success, all my accomplishments, anything I'm able to accomplish physically, spiritually, anything, any aspect in my life is all with the view that I'm that all belongs to Hashem and that I use it only for Hashem. And this is the lesson that we have to implement into our own lives on our levels. That anything we have also is all meant to be used for Hashem because to be hashem means to recognize that anything we have belongs to Hashem. Now when something belongs to Hashem and when we know that and understand that and crystallize that then we automatically will come to utilize our gifts and accomplishments and our skills and our talents all for Hashem and we will to our level become
