says that a person that has wisdom,
that's wisdom is synonymous to Torah.
person that has Torah, that Torah has to
be coupled with fear of Hashem, has to
be coupled with why if it's just
knowledge itself,
it's not worth very much. The
has a story in page 28b
where there was a person that was a very
smart person knew an extraordinary
amount of information and he died
and they asked one of the
to do an asped on him say some things on
him. He died. He learned Tawa his whole
life. Say something.
So Nakman says, "Why should I say
something?"
Well, you mean he learned a lot of
Torah?
Aman says, "I'm not going to say on a a
sped on a basket full of books."
Why a basket full of books? Because
that's what he was. He learned a lot of
books, but he never had shim
with
he never had a rabbi that he verified if
what he's thinking is correct. A rabbi
to rebuke him when necessary. He never
had other question what his thoughts
are. He never had any of that. He was
just a bookworm. A bookworm in a Torah
world is worth nothing. It's worth
literally not very much more than the
worm.
Somebody like that says I'm not going to
give him an why. I don't want you guys
to mistake that he wasn't because he
wasn't. He just knew a lot of books. He
just knew a lot of books. If he had
applied those books into his life, then
he would become a But since he did not
have a rabbi, he did not have shim, he
did not do every anything possible,
everything possible to apply the
teachings of these books to his life
does not deserve anish
says a famous line here. He says the
beginning of wisdom is the fear of hem.
This comes from this comes from
the beginning of wisdom is the fear of
hem.
The son
of David
elaborates further in proverbs 1 verse
number 7.
The fear of the Almighty is the first
sign of knowledge. Meaning it's not you
may mistake that the beginning of wisdom
is fear of Hashem that you need to have
fear of Hashem in order to have wisdom.
But elaborates goes, "No, no, no. It's
not that you need to have fear of Hashem
in order to have wisdom. IS THAT THE
FIRST SIGN of wisdom, the first sign
that you even have wisdom at all is when
you're first scared of au.
You're scared of au. Why is being scared
of a kadosh, scared of punishment,
scared of his awe, scared of the
almighty, scared of all the different
things in this world and the next? Why?
Why is this scary
constantly? Because if you're scared of
the Almighty, then it shows an
indication that you know what you're
dealing with. Whereas if you're not
scared of the Almighty, then it shows
that you have no idea who you're dealing
with. That's why says to out of all the
things that he can say to him,
"Now I know that you fear Hashem. Now I
know you fear me." Why did he say, "Now
I know you love me. Now I know you're my
best friend." How come he says, "Now I
know you fear me." Why? Because now I
know that you understand who you're
dealing with. When I say something, you
do it. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. NOW I KNOW
YOU know who you're dealing with.
Because if you have questions for
why did you do this? Why did you do
that? How come you're doing this to me?
Why is God punishing me? Why is God
doing this to me? You, my friend, don't
know who you're dealing with. Why?
There's no questions for there's only
questions for us. Something is bad is
happening in your life. Question
yourself. What did I DO? YEAH. HOW COME
I DON'T SAY HOW? WHAT DID HASHEM DO? NO.
NO. What did you do? What did I do? Why?
Because we are in the wrong all the
time. Hashem is never wrong.
