True Trust in God: The Catalyst That Changes Everything

Shalom. This Shia is the seventh Shia in the series of Eve Hashem. Um it's actually a sequel to the previous Shia number six which was on Amuna and we gave a title beyond a shadow of a doubt. This is a sequel to that and it's a sh on trust. In order to make it to complement from the previous year from ben from amuna I'd like to go back and review several points which we bought out from the previous year and from then we'll build up and complement those points which we bought from Yeshua and if you remember we bought from the beginning uh from the no from the proet Jeremiah in per base in the second chapter and the noi talks about a beautiful concept at the beginning says so I remember I reminisce about you when you left mitas when you left when you came out of mit. the love of our betroal when you came out. You were young, you came out of we have nobody else but the the words of Mosha and that's all we have a beautiful expression of how you came after me said into a land without any food without any direction. All you did is you followed the words of Mosha Rabenu. Those were by measur the love of our betro when you started off and Rashi points out on that puk there that is really the peak point the supreme level of amuna faith in you came out the the kindness of your youth and the love of our betro you came to see a beautiful expression says of the next however says as follows keshbu says in the words of lama Why did you find fault with me? You found fault with me. In other words, you lost me. You went off by and you got caught up in trivialities and you went off into the world and you you got caught up with different things and you were distracted from your amuna. Meaning the wealth and the affluence and whatever you had, you left me. What what did you what fault did you find in me? And the novi says that what happened here? In other words, you moved on from your high point of imuna and it it moved off. It drifted away. The influence we can say certainly in our times as well the affluence of society there is nowadays and because of that people lose their point of and they get distracted by money distracted and we brought down the point if you remember the which we say in which by the way they worship but they worship is silver and gold and everybody who trusts in them are also like they're nothing they're he emptiness they're hea there's no value to them at just money like zuzim. No, here today and gone tomorrow. It moves from one point to another. And that is a criticism from the high point says the noi I remember I reminisce so well about you and then after all later you you lo you drifted and you lost me because of the affluence of what you have. So that's the meaning behind it. If you remember, we also bought the beautiful marshall, I think, of the coastal village. Coastal village where the coast guard suddenly wakes up the whole town at 3:00 in the morning and tells Abu to run out of their beds and climb up onto the supermarket which is the highest point in the building. Why? He tells them as follows. The tsunami is coming. There's going to be a tidal wave. You can't possibly stay on the street. You can't close the door and put towels. Nothing will help. Only thing which will help is to climb up. Climb up higher onto the supermarket which is the highest point and maybe you'll be saved. The nimshell was of course there's a tidal wave of secular values out there in the street and that's the tragedy. There's an enormous amount of influence which takes place and it the only way you can survive is by living higher. We bought the words of the not the the prophet Kabak in the last time the last reference which we bought remember we bought the different and then the end the last point the most important point is to live by your that's a high point that's living above the ground level living above and we bought that was the weapons which you need you need to live higher you can't live on the street anymore and then you'll return back hopefully to have us come back to the betro as we were when we came out of Islam we gave also a working definition of how to understand really what we say every single morning, every single day, three times a day in you should know today. That we explained was intellectual certainty to know to know. Interesting. I saw in the words of Sternburg he explains means every day you should be more certain. You should be more clear, more verified. Intellectual certainty if you remember that's what we bought last week. If you see a product there must be a manufacturer. If you see design of course there a designer. If you see direction there's a director the points which we brought out and that will give you a certain certainty of your data to be clear is an emotional attachment to us. That's the point which we bought out. If you remember also we gave a certain perhaps an illusion to it which may be a reference to it. The says in uh the beginning of behold you are beautiful my beloved says the refers to the to the ancestors that we come from you yourself you have the eyes of a dove and uh the vagon explains why kalisaw themselves in other words in our times besides the ancestry where we come from you are compared to the eyes of a dove on a beautiful point the eyes of a dove are completely perfect they're symmetrical No one is higher than the other, not one is bigger than the other. One represent wisdom and one represents which is really I suppose the difference between knowledge and I I thought those two behind behind them all one is never ever isma should be bigger than and and and should never be otherwise it's not it's not correct and it's das it's weak. Those are the points which we brought out last week. the weapons which we brought and therefore where we left off last week was we brought beyond a shadow of a doubt I hope the points which you can reach a certain intellectual certainty in amuna this year concentrates on the second part and merely I'm suggesting ly that the difference is between is in the trust in your heart and that's the difference between the two of them I think you're intimately connected you're attached to that's what is all about the beautiful moshel and parable which is given by raen in kadak a beautiful reference there he says you can compare amuna and faith in and also the trust to a fruit tree the tree itself is the amuna the basis the foundation of all is the tree the tree itself but it's a fruit tree the tree has to give fruit and the fruit is the bhan the practical benefit which comes out of it And I suppose many people maybe have uh belong to the fruit tree. Even our cousins or the Arabs, they have immuna. They believe in God. No. And many may be philosophers. That's not the point. A purpose of a tree is to reach the point of ben. It might be a fruit tree, but the real benefit is the fruit which comes out of the tree which is the ben. Meaning the application which should come out. The fruit is the ben. The application which should come out of it. The practical reality is the bim. The fruit. The tree must give something out. Otherwise it just stays as amuna amuna by itself is not enough as I said many people might have amuna many people faith in itself many might believe in one god certainly the do that's one point for certain but we have to take it you are connected to and that's the reference which I think we should bring as the part of is the fruit the is the purpose which comes out of it all maybe therefore before we begin we can give something like a definition maybe of what is and for that I'd like to turn to a in mish says as follows it's giml I think I believe will be for you a direction of support and he will guard your feet from tripping up from stumbling and that is a definition meaning when you're talking from the expression you're secure You're secure with the Almighty. You're you're sure. Hashem is meaning he is your guidance. He is your support. And he will protect you from any stumbling, any pits, any any mal any hazards might come in your way. And therefore perhaps we can suggest in the conventional understanding, conventional meaning is that is really being secure. But Rabenu on that brings a little bit more detail than that. He said no, it's more than that. It's more than just being secure. There's a long passage there. I think one of the longest passages of Mishimov on that p he says as follows. It's reliance. It's relying on aeshb not just feeling secure but a future of relying that whatever will happen whatever will turn out you're trusting in kesh that it will work out well. For example, this week's para it's paras by you remember shim and levy the posit says when they came to take revenge for when uh they had taken hold of um Dena and Dina was trapped there inside the poss means not just confident but bet says Rashi on that pos they were sure of the righteousness of their father Yitz of Jacob he would help them they were Sure. They relied on the righteousness of their father says Rashi meaning to rely to rely on something. They relied on meaning in that concept means to rely on something. We can take a little bit further. Maybe remember the which we say every morning before it's a timing in your kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the almighty for he has been kind to me. And the expression is as follows. Really is being secure. I'm secure in your kindness. I'm secure in your kind. That's the first part. But then my heart will rejoice in your salvation. That's reliance. No, that's more than that. It's taking it further. The security is I'm sure of your kindness. means I rely that I will move on to a salvation says on that I will even reach a point of that is a tremendous level of of beten that's reliant more than secure I realize that from the situation that I'm going through I will reach a situation of sh that's reliance it's more than being secure it's taking it further and that I think is a point which we should mention here the definition of is He will look after you and protect you. More than being secure, I rely on I'm trusting. I'm trusting in what will happen. You'll ask me, but how can I possibly rely? What have I got to rely on? Maybe it means the following. I'm careful about saying before I eat. I'm careful of cash is what I have to do. I make sure as much as I possibly can I keep the laws of Shabas. No, I make sure I give I do the best I can. I'm not a malik. I'm not an angel. But I do the very best I can through the efforts that I make. Meaning I'm careful about modesty, about sneers. I'm careful maybe of what I comes out of my mouth, what goes in and what goes out. All those points build a certain reliance on it. And from there I become I can rely on a I'm not a malik. I don't expect that the will look at me in the most be I'm not perfect. But the idea is I have something which I can rely on. I re it's not I'm not keeping shabas in order with an ulterior motive. I'm not saying that not I dab as best as I can. I put as much sincerity as the prayer I can as much as I possibly can. But I realize that since I'm doing my part the macham will come forward. That's not the reason why I do it. My my avoid is genuine. My avoid is sincere. No, I dab for for because I must ask I must talk to him. I must praise the almighty. But behind it all I have in my mind a certain reliance there I'm confident as much as possible that will come towards me. That's the point which we're making here. I'm sure because of the efforts which I've made therefore I rely on his kindness and I will reach a point even of your say I rejoice in your salvation and even the point of Shir afterwards. That's my point of which I come from. It's interesting. Let me share with you a beautiful medish. The medish brings down the following incident. It's a mshall but you'll get the point straight away. There was a certain man who was walking through the property of the king. He was trespassing. He didn't realize it was the king's property. The guards came along and beat him up and started hitting him and saying to him, "What are you doing here?" And they started hitting him. And the man turned, it's a medish. The man turned and said, "You can't hit me. I'm the family of the king. I'm from the mishb of the king. You can't hit me." "You are you're from the family of the king." The guards turn man say they take him away and put him in a cell overnight. The following morning, they bring him in front of the king and they ask the king, "Your majesty, this man turned man. He was walking on your property and he declared he confessed that he was you're from your do you know him? The king said I never saw him before in my life. I don't know what he's talking about. He's not from my family. And the king turns around to the man and says what do you mean since when are you my family? And the man turn around and says as follows your majesty let me explain what I did. I was in danger. I realized I was in a difficult situation but I knew I trusted in you that what would happen is if you would know about it you would look after me and protect me. I knew that you would be the one who would look after me. You would support me. In other words, I trusted that you would come forward since I say I trusted in you that you would come forward and help me. Meaning even though I'm not but I trusted said the king let him go. If a man trusts in me so much then of course since he trusted in me so much then let him go. The man has such trust in me. That's the point. No it's a beautiful point. But I come into the shadow I come into his shadow. I'm in his bracket. I'm in his family. Isn't that what we say everyone says when we say I'm from a family I'm from the no means I'm connected to you since I'm connected to you of course you'll have care over me you'll look after me and I trusted in your kindness that's the level of which we're talking about here and therefore we've extended the definition from the concept of just being secure but more I relied on you I re much more than that to rely on I'm suggesting using the is really the fruit on the tree the tree itself is the groundwork the foundation is my belief in the almighty which we mentioned last week it comes out of my heart meaning an expression of emotional attachment where does that come that's the real purpose of the purpose is to trust in him completely whatever situ situation I'm going through. I realize I'm not perfect, but I can I can hope since I'm careful as much as I possibly can. I learn to I put on fill in. I give charity. Whatever I can, I do as much as I can. I'm hopeful that from that I can rely on his kindness. And certainly coming forward and saying, well, of course, since you're my then of course then I will help you and take you further. That's I think is a definition which we can work with. And according to ho hay means every day you should beat that point reach a certain clarity a greater intellectual certainty when it comes to every day and further than that as well should grow every day. Let me take you a little bit further in the concept of in the introduction to shahen in he mentions there a beautiful point which maybe we could consider when we're looking into the concept of of of trusting in aeshb as an outcome of said first of all a person has to go through carefully in his mind make a checklist of all the things that you potentially believe in you believe maybe your father's wealth maybe you have proteexia maybe you have family connections you have a very good lawyer All the things which you so-called trust in and believe in him and mark them with a tick or with a cross, are they always going to be there? And probably not. No, you'll realize that. However wealthy your father might be, I don't know who's to say they'll be able to help you out as much as you need. No, if you rely on the lawyer, since when is a lawyer the person you can since when does a lawyer know what's best for you? No, that's goes I think through seven different points. In the end of the day, you realize there's no friend you have like the Almighty. No one loves you as much as the Almighty does. No one is caring. No one knows what's best for you as much as the Almighty does. And therefore goes through these seven points. If you look, it's a beautiful list there in Shab and he goes through different you can't possibly just rely on him all the way. Supposing you have the most wonderful medical insurance plan. Wonderful. It cost you a lot of money and that's doesn't mean you won't get sick. No, it doesn't mean to say that the doctors will be able to cure you. Doesn't mean to say that the expenses will be more than the insurance. No, of course the point is and therefore how much you rely on aeshb is the problem is old habits die don't die quickly old habits are hard to get rid of you're used to a certain point and therefore you're used to money which you have you're used to connections which you have I have connection with the world comes to shid maybe for wedding I have a very good connection with the shad who's very all these points are weak no you realize that of course they're not things which you can certain rely on you can rely on the almighty will find the best possible sh and he'll make sure everything will work out as well for you. If you put that your heart rejoices, if you put your trust in almighty as much as you possibly can, that's the level behind it. Meaning how much you can rely on but old habits die hard. No, you'll agree with me. The habits which you have, it's hard to move on from there. There's a beautiful joke I remember which I once heard I think we once brought this point a beautiful story. A man was walking down a country road. He turned a corner and made a wrong turn and he suddenly found himself falling down a canyon. He was in enormous straits. Unbelievable. He was screaming out. He felt he saw him beneath it hundreds of meters down and looking up. There's not. As he was going down, he grasped onto a branch and held onto the branch and and screamed his head off. Someone is there. Someone there to help me. Someone help me. Help me. And he looked down and he saw the drop behind it and look up and he screamed out, "Is there anybody there? Can help me? Is anybody can?" And he screamed out. Eventually a voice comes down and says, "I can help you. I can help you." And he says, "And who are you? Who are you?" The voice says, "I am God. I am Hashem. I'm there to help you. Really? Please help me. Please help me. I'm in such a position." The Almighty said, "Do you trust in me completely?" "Of course I trust in you completely. Of course I do. I trust in you completely. Please God, please help me out." And then God answers and says to him as follows, "If so, let go of the branch now. Let go of the branch." The silence, there's no response. And a minute or so later, he then shouts out to, "Is there anybody else there who can help [laughter] me?" Beautiful point. No. Is there anybody else? One minute that you said you trusted altogether. No. Isn't that the point really? You do trust in the Almighty, but is there anybody else? Is there not a good doctor around? Is there not a good lawyer around? Is there not a good? It's a beautiful point. Yes, of course you trust, but is there anybody else? That's really the point. You trust in the Almighty and you're dabbing. You say no. and these beautiful words which you say can but put it all inside your in your prayer that's the point if you want to take it further have a look in the inad sim 98 the words of the I think it's giml there and the beautiful words of the libo when you dab and you shall put in your in your heart there is nobody no person no star no lucky charm No one can fill your wishes except the when you come to Davin it's nothing else there's nothing else the lawyer is out the doctor is out the everything is out when you come to Davin in you I trusted there's no other there's nothing else and that's the challenge which there is it's a challenge I agree not everybody's able to reach that point but it's a matter I suppose of every single day reaching further certainty and reaching further emotional attachment means every day according into that's the point behind it all. Let me take you a little bit further. Last week I mentioned beautiful comment which my dear friend Odum god the young god of he died a few years ago in my eyes he was a young godle he once turned around and said a beautiful definition you know we say every single day it's a in the blessed is the person who trust ine And Hashem is his reliance. He's the trust source of trust. The question is as follow if you said why do you have to say you're just repeating yourself. You just said what does it mean that Hashem is source of trust. It means as follows a beautiful point there's something in the word called kadusha. Kadusha the place of kadusha is called the mikdosh. The mem in the front the mem refers to the mock. The miktosh is a place in other words what's a me doing in front of the word there the miktosh is the place of of the holiness there's something called theina in the world the divine presence in the world the place where it is is in the mishk no the me represents the place where it is hear the point there's something called a gathering of water a mikvah a me in the front is the place where the water is kept in the mikvah no said as follows Fortunately, blessed is the person who trusts the real source, the the sole place where it is is in the place itself. In other words, but maybe there are other things as well. The real is where is there in the place of that's the challenge which we have to try and reach. That's what I'm suggesting. That's what I think it's a beautiful point. The reliance the taking it further of course you need a of course you need a doctor when it comes of course you need a lawyer all these things you do you make a you make an effort beautiful by member hearing from once explained in a beautiful way put into your heart in all your child when it comes to the and on your understanding don't rely don't rely means like a mishness a walking stick you make an effort you make an effort but when it comes to there'll be and your own understanding al don't rely on it. Don't rely on it like a walking stick. You make an effort. You make an effort. But when it comes to inserting your heart, your heart must be completely inside your your trust in you make. Of course, we must make an effort. No one's saying it's foolish. You don't make anadas. Of course, you make an effort. But when it comes to where where's your heart? Your heart isn't in your office. Your heart isn't in your client. Your heart isn't in your portfolio. Your heart is in in all your heart. I remember brought it out in a beautiful way that with all your heart comes and when it comes to effort, you make an effort. Of course, you make an effort and hopefully the ef the the effort that you make will work. Of course, you contact a doctor and you contact a lawyer. Of course, we're like that. But the level is where's the heart? The heart is not in the salary. The heart is not in the manager. The heart is not in the lawyer. The heart is by the having said all this I'd like to move on in the concept of I want to give you if you'll excuse me my own homespun thoughts which I thought about the concept of if you we could really spend a lot of time going through different points from shahaben but I want to do something which I hope will give you some sort of homework in growing in the concept of bum something which laners diety I wanted to develop the point perhaps that you can take it further yourself something which will give you a launch into by yourself let me tell you where I'm coming from let's go back to the which we bought from the beginning is intellectual certainty we mentioned last week there's a design of the director is the reliance meaning the behind it all but there's a connection here between the two what I'd like to do is bring out the power of that connection the sapos at one point after another ben is an outcome of the amuna and I'd like to develop on that point maybe in a practical way I'm not saying this why they're very pract but I would like to which I myself thought out a great deal last week I was thinking on the point how can you personally develop the point yourself in what way meaning join the two points together maybe let me give you a moshel what I'm talking about here do you remember at the time of the creation the shalam said the The tree should give fruit and the same as the fruit. The eight the tree should have the same taste as the eight. The eights meaning the tree should give a fruit and also the fruit should come out. In the end what happened is the true the tree gave out the fruit. Coming back to the moshel of bakai the tree is the amuna. The fruit is what is the but at the time of creation what happened was the tree didn't follow through the eights did not come through only the the fruit came out it didn't come out the tree the tree itself did not have the it was supposed to have eight pepi the tree was supposed to be also that but it didn't there wasn't a syn there wasn't a a balance there wasn't a synthesis between the two the eights did not give the fruit you need the two together working together you need amuna with bak working together that's what I'd like to do I'd like to show you how with the two working together then you can come out I think with a working definition which I think la is something like a dynamic catalyst it will be able to force you make the change in that way in order to do this I would like to suggest lan's diet two kazam one from the father and one from the son meaning David and let's start with the two references which I think if you take these two in in mind you'll be able to work with them yourself and take the point of much further Here's a first. It's a puk from psalms 119 kufelik made a prayer. He asked says theak and the explain asked let me have a to let me have a good taste a tam to let me have a gishmak they would say let me enjoy if so I will then have trust in your mitzvah from a tam to if you feel good if you have a a good taste in something that will give you tremendous amun in the mitzvah that you have what happens what happens is from the tam tov you develop into something with a taste and it goes into the heart. It goes into the meaning you enjoyed something. The heart enjoyed something. Now take a from in says as follows in I think it is like the water shows a reflection back to yourself. So it is from the le to another. Meaning when you have a certain feeling in your heart then it reflects back. You can't hide it. It's there. You have love for somebody. If you have like the you see a reflection of yourself says the shamik meaning inside the water. So it is with if you show your heart to somebody so your heart comes back. This is a crucial sentence when it comes to anything to do with or even in marriage as well. Show your heart. Once you show your heart you can't hide it. It comes back. Once you have something in your heart, it will come out and develop itself from the term to I'm suggesting then it's in the heart and then when once it's in the heart now you'll be able to project it and it comes out further. Let me give you a mosh on these and then come back to the concept of it's a little complicated but I think you'll gain it tremendously. The two references the first is the and then let me give you an example what I'm talking about. We saw Gance Schlita one of the great Rabonim here in Shalim lives in Brian once said that he asked the Shiva what is the greatest challenge which a child has in what the parent has or a teacher has in our times what is it what is it and believe it or not man said as follows you would think that he was living in his ivory tower in pashiva but he knew exactly what was going on said the greatest challenge is that a child shall feel a k meaning a delight from a do something spiritual and not something materialistic. Not like a new tablet, a new video or a new a trip somewhere. He should feel a ke. He should have enjoyment, a delight from something spiritual. He should have a tam to a time to from learning, a time from from dabbling, a time to a good taste maybe from doing something in charity, a stalker, a tam to feeling good about something in spiritual matters. What happens then? Then it gets into the heart. Meaning I'm suggesting from the tuan it then develops into the heart and the heart is motivated there and it comes out and reflects itself. That's the idea behind it. No. Similarly, it is we find very often with yeshiva baka people often ask the question why is it the yeshivas spend so much time with the bakim learning something in depth in there's a second uh profession as well which is called bikus when you learn a great deal of information. The yeshivas don't concentrate on that. The yeshivas are not so particular really about finishing shass with the most important thing is that he should have a delight and an enjoyment from a good from hearing something or something with something with gishm gives gasoline for life. When you have a tam then you have a you have a in the mitzvah from having something avail and you can develop the point further that's the point which I'm bringing out give you another moshel for example you go out on a shid and it seems good it looks good on the shid no you have a tam to a tam to from the tam to it not necessarily more than that from the tam to it develops much or it develops into something which is a feeling in the heart. They say that the brim in Ponovich should ask how do you know that a sh will be successful. Where do you know Mash said there's something called the heart is pulled in into the sh when you go out on the sh now by us the ham said works as follow something called ditri do sitri is a dual carriageway when you speak you feel he listens when he speaks you are listening that is the beginning if you can communicate well between each other you speak and you feel he understands you and the other way around as well that already is the beginning of ham where the le is drawen you have Tam from the Tamto the poly so the lab will come out no that's the point I'm bringing out here you follow what I'm saying when you have a tam a good feeling about something something works well whether it's in learning whether it's in something like was saying to or it's even on a when you have a tam you have a in the mitzvah from there it gets into the heart said once it's in the heart Then it reflects itself and it comes out further that labai is my marshall. Now let me tell you my power which I'd like to develop from there. It's homespun but I think this is how we can develop the concept of to work every day to grow on it in that way. this way. Let's say the tam toadas comes from something in amuna. For example, you see a fact a fabulous product of the or you enjoy something, you enjoy a delicious fruit or something, that's a product. You realize behind there is a manufacturer behind there. No, you realize that if you see a fabulous design, you see somebody who's very beautiful looking or you see a beautiful plant, you see something which is a fabulous design, then you realize there's a designer behind it. That's a point which we brought from from from Amuna. No, without a shadow of a doubt. You you realize there's a designer behind it all. If you see a beautiful view, a beautiful scenery, you see there's a product there. Beautiful. But then behind it all, you realize there's a designer. You see direction. See, of course, you realize there's director. There's a t a good taste which comes out from something that you saw in amuna. Emuna. What happens? It develops in the le and therefore you become connected to the almighty. The ben grows because of the tam to that you have because of the good feeling that you have that develops and stays in the le and you become connected to the almighty I'm stating and therefore to that's what I'm suggesting to the almighty from the good taste from the positive feeling that you have from something which went very well therefore that's the tam is now in the I have but that's in the heart since I now tasted delicious this meal and I realize there's a manufacturer behind the meal. No, something happened in hash something. So which in the secular world they coincidental coincidental but we really know mik means hashem it happened from the almighty. If you see something like that and it makes an impression on you you have a tam but it gets inside the once it gets inside the lathe that itself are the ground roots for ben and comes out from there you realize where the source is something which happens something incidentally which happens. Let me give you an example that happened to me which which shook me up enormously. I was driving from Lakewood one one evening going to Gibbashir in Riverdale and I was driving along the New Jersey Turnpike. You remember by Newark airport. I was driving along there four lanes of traffic was rushing along. All of a sudden in the middle of the highway I had a blowout. A tire blew and I was I hear the the b loud bang and I pulled over to the side and the car chugged and chugged over. Eventually I went onto the hard shoulder went onto the side and believe it or not I stopped at the end about 2 ft behind a truck which was there. Never find trucks there on the New Jersey. There was a truck there standing there and I and I was ready all dressed for a shear and I was had to rush out quickly to get to by a certain time and I went over to the driver and he was a Mexican a Mexican's a man sitting in his truck there. I turned around to him I said as follows do you mind I just had a blood could you help me? He turned said rabbi of course I can help you. He jumped out. 5 minutes later, maybe 10 minutes later, I was off on the road again. He helped me. I was astonished. You never I stopped and chugged to a a stop right in front of the truck and the man was there and he said, "Of course, I'll help you." And he helped me change the tires. I was I would have got filthy dirty change the tire. Five minutes later, I was out. I was gone. I was on the road again. Unbelievable. I realized afterwards I said I think I said a few times and I you realize that from the term to that you saw something was direction. There was a director behind it all was behind it and I'm not an how many m did this happen to you all the time but these are case studies of which you can build in your when something good happens when something and you have a to it develops in the heart and therefore the heart is pulled in and therefore one has to build and consolidate on positive actions on positive incidents that occurred in your life. When you have a tam to so build on it for example you have a tam to a good taste from dabin but you feel very good that stays in the lelay so next time you'll also dab well because it motivates you having had a good feeling about it so you do it further you good have a very good feeling about giving something which you gave you gave a mata you gave something in quiet that gives a tam to from that tam to you'll do it again and therefore it generates a feeling in the heart towards the almighty that's what I'm saying is an outcome come of that direction from the director or the manufacturer or whatever it is whatever it is the design of the it builds up in the heart that term to if you can move that and the mosh I gave an example between people for example but so it is with the almighty a positive feeling gives you a tremendous boost to draw closer to the almighty and from there you grow in your no suppose you have a tremendous challenge of of modesty and you're able to overcome this challenge in other A great challenge comes out. You can either that act with modesty or not. And you decide I'm going to be like yatic. No, I'm going to say no to whatever it is. I'm going to rebut the enticement. Afterwards, [snorts] you grow from that. No, you feel a tam. It's in the lathe. Once that's in the leve, you'll do it again. And the grows more. You grow stronger from that. No, you have a tremendous challenge. For example, to say something bad about somebody in what happens is you stop. You walk away and you think, "Thank goodness. I didn't open my mouth. I didn't say anything. It was hard for me. I could have said something. But you hold back. That's a tam in that gives you something feeling. That's something. And then it develops into the heart. You become closer to the almighty. And all these are incidents. I'm suggesting build from something positive. What do they say? Nothing succeeds like success. If you have success in something and you feel good about it, that goes into the heart and it draw you closer to the almighty. Coming back to where we began. is the that I'm suggesting here. put the two together and there's a certain correlation if you can make that connection between the product and the manufacturer between the design and the designer direction director between the Diana NS and the reward which is you see these points together it develops the term you have a term told for something and that draws you closer to your almighty for example in learning for example in the different points as well something in an incident which a coincidence happened to you from there you will grow much quicker and I think much quicker on your moon. Of course, one should study the works of of Bak Shaben is a wonderful s to go through. Of course, but I'm saying as homework for yourself. How can I possibly build up my reliance, build up my security on the mighty? I'm suggesting this is a very positive way. work on the positive aspects of your life, incidents that occur and you'll be able if you have I learned and I had a stays in my heart and therefore says once it's in the heart then you'll become closer to the almighty and that I think perhaps I hoping will be a working definition of how we can grow. I wish you all a good Shabas.
