Welcome to our s Yumi viewers have you
ever wondered why in the animal kingdom
there is so much death and destruction
killing carnivores and prey that we
don't necessarily see around hopefully
by the Human by the human race well let
me tell you an incredible usud from RAM
and from the betan from brisker based on
our par and parro the the cloud that
told us based on
the the world was created based on the
Torah which means that usually the way
we understand is we all have parents and
as a result of having parents the Torah
told us your parents be your father and
your mother but it's exactly a and it's
very important to know this rule it's
because in the T there's a mitvah that's
why everybody has a father and a mother
that's the way it works
because the Torah said don't steal the
Torah said not to kill that's why there
is an innate nature within us not to
hopefully be to understand what the true
good is there's an innate nature in
society unless raised otherwise to want
to do good not to steal from someone
else not to kill other people it comes
from this place as opposed to an animal
kingdom which has no Torah which has no
beginnings of such a stature and doesn't
come from those sources there's no
there's no no Mania there's no there's
no there's nothing stopping them from
doing a similar thing there's nothing
stopping them from going ahead and
killing and destroying and being
destructive in that type of way because
the Torah is the one that gives that
decides the rule book we think that it's
because we have AAR so therefore the
Torah says watch out don't look in the
wrong places don't touch the wrong
things stay away from what you put in
your mouth it's the opposite it's
because the Torah went and gave us those
restrictions those 613 restrictions
which we are also familiar with that now
we have AAR in order that we should have
a in order for it to happen it starts
the other way around it starts from the
fact that the Torah said it and as a
result of that now instilled in us as to
make sure to watch out why is this such
an important lesson as they say what do
we learn from here listen to a letter
from RI and because the words of his
rebi R is that it's it's
it's heresy to think the wrong way you
have to know that everything comes to
the Torah what's the big deal so you
know what he says RI this incredible
thing because otherwise if you think the
normal way of thinking that there's this
world and I just have to keep the T then
there's
two there's two existences that exist in
this world there's me and there's it
there's me in the T as opposed to this
way of thinking that we're we're
explaining today there's only one
the T the way of thinking is the world
is a byproduct of this scenario that we
call the Tor there's only one existence
not two I'll give you an example two
people go to work hand inand with the
same nine-to-five job and the same
salary one person is in completely
different world than the other one
because one person's whole world is all
about the money that he's going to make
how he can go ahead and invest it and
what's he going to do afterwards and
he's not thinking so much Beyond on that
and you know what maybe I'll try to find
time afterwards to do what I can do to
be able to do a little bit for my
religion if I can hopefully to be able
to keep and maybe get my D the other
person his whole idea from the beginning
is just there in order to be M the Tor
from the beginning to the end his
day-to-day life is here yes I'm working
I have to put bread on the table I have
to do what I have to do but the focus is
is of life
is from the Torah and from there comes
the bar Alma from there comes the whole
entire world this man is living 24 hours
in a world of Torah and it doesn't mean
in the mid it could be also outside of
no problem because it's all geared from
One Source when people learn when they
learn mik every day especially we're
doing it over here Aliyah by Aliyah do
you realize that day by day you're
living and connected to a world of Torah
day by day even though you're going to
the outside world you're always
anchoring yourself in a place of
you're connecting yourself to the place
that it has to be and this is the
greatness of the Jewish people and this
is how a difference that a person has to
understand where we come from we don't
live in a place where there's 10
subjects in the day when I go to school
there's also English math and a little
bit of gar our life surrounds around the
Torah it was built from the Torah the
world was created from the Torah and
from there the world dresses around the
Torah and that's the way we have to keep
to our frame of mind and we should be
able to take this lesson to be us to
keep to our learning of MRA to be able
to keep to our day-to-day learning and
be able to take it all and to take it
all to the rest of our lives shalom
