The banish guy brings down. They had a magician that bought five eggs from a vendor on the spot. He takes a five eggs, cracks one, opens it. There's a crazy gem inside worth millions of dollars. Takes another one, cracks it open, another diamond. Crack five out of five. All these eggs have diamonds. And this magician is like, I can't believe I sold them these eggs and these eggs for pennies. And he's it's worth millions. So the the vendor is like, you know what? I have about 100 eggs at home. Let me pack everything, go home. I'll crack it open, take all the diamonds for myself. He cracks open one after another. There's not a single diamond in every single one in any any one of them. They're all just egg yolks. And he's like, what's going on over here? This this vendor not only lost on the sale of his of the eggs. He lost here and he lost there. He lost in his eggs and he lost and he didn't gain anything afterwards from from finding any any any treasure. And this is how you have some many people live their life. They don't have the this world and they don't have the next world. They don't have this and they don't have that. They focus on fake things.

Everything is focused and based on the truth. The Torah is based on the truth. Boracious ba elim. You take the last letters boracious bar alim. It spells emis the Torah st stand stands on truth. And that's why the letters alf they all they all have a solid foundation. They all have two legs that they stand on or at least two legs that they stand on. Sheer is falsehood. all stands on a point. Like a shin has a point, a ra has a point, a kuf has a point. They all have only a point. Meaning that falsehood is very truth stands on a strong foundation. How are you going to live your life? Are you going to live your life through falsehood or are you going to live your life through uh you know through truth.
