The Main Thing - R. Yaakov Rahimi - TorahAnytime.com

very well-known dash is he's a student. He's the of he said around 10 years ago he got this little uh tava little desire to just go back into learning all day. No more speeches, no more deni maybe a little bit here and there but I want to focus my time and knowing shas by heart shavi he said and shami. I want to start knowing gim. I want to be one of those that wants to start quoting by heart this is this is this is this is this he said he wanted to become one of those great that's able to know the whole and by heart but if he's going to keep on giving speeches and it's going to take away from his time of learning so he wanted to stop giving speeches and only focus on learning to know it well Of course he knows shas but to know it by heart takes a lot of time in a mealis. So he felt him giving speeches takes away from his learning. So he went to his rebi going mazuz and he said that he met him by the elevator of the yeshiva in he told him rebi want to start knowing shas by heart but the donas the speeches of amuna that I'm giving takes away too much time what can I do and he said that his rebi may turned to him and he told him maz turned to and he told him he said he started raising his voice a little bit at him and he says When my rebi raised his voice, you remember it for life. And for a maze started raising his voice at you, you remember that lesson that he taught you for life, says our vigor. And what was the lesson he told him? A call ga you want to start quoting sh you want to start quoting is that all comes from that show mindset that Giva mindset is bee. The main thing is to be a real servant of hem. And if you're right and spreading through that's what you should be doing. Of course most of the day learn but to tell me no more just to know you start quoting it like that ga it's not what you should be doing the is to be an hashem. Now obviously from this story we learn a tremendous lesson. The goal in life is to serve hashem. Be a real evid hashem. Really really really serve hashem. Don't think about yourself. Think about what does Hashem want me to do at this moment? What does Hashem want me to do in this world? And that's what Ram Mazoo told Rabbi Galen. And that was Muz the God real. Everything was what does Hashem want me to do? What is Emis? And he fought for the EMS. And by the way, he got a lot of backlash for it. He got a lot of people complaining about him saying how he's wrong. Unfortunately, even though they're 100% wrong, but he stuck to the EMS. He stuck to every word of the Torah no matter what people say and he would always say that the ra was also made fun of and but you have to stick to the you got to be a realm and that's what he told now obviously every person should consult and ask thereof what they should be doing in their life situations but the lesson taught us over here is tremendous and that's what he was saying it over he was saying that he taught me that sometimes even though we want to learn and learning is the most important thing in the world and a person should focus on becoming and learn most of the day. But sometimes even in that world there's ga there's a show of mindset. Look how much Torah I know. And that's wrong. Your goal should be only evid Hashem. Your goal should be only serving Hashem. And by the way, Rome Mazoo always hid his knowledge. You always hid his Torah. He would say it over. He said he doesn't understand why sometimes people like quoting Shazam by heart. Why would you show off how much T you know a person should hide that? And he himself knew but he always hid it. Easy he was always he always hid himself because he was a huge huge my purpose in this world is to serve Hashem.
