Where the Blessing Lies | Rabbi Sholom Ber Sorotzkin

You say about Klal Yisroel, we call us עם סגולה. We know what עם סגולה usually is, but we say in דרך צחות, that עם סגולה, that Klal Yisroel looks always for Segulos, for Yeshuos. We live around Segulos, around Yeshuos. We spend sometimes so much money to fly to a Kever, to Reb Shayele, to this Rebbe, to that Gadol, to that Gadol, to find an Epese Yeshua. Sometimes they tell us about one Kever very far away, that if you go over there, you get a Yeshua for זרע של קיימא, you get a Yeshua for Parnassa, you get a Yeshua for this. We go out and spend thousands of thousands of dollars to get a Yeshua. I heard once from Maran HaMashgiach R’ Don Segal a Moredike Vort. It says, אין ברכה שולטת אלא בדבר הסמוי מן העין. What does it mean, ?דבר הסמוי מן העין He says that when a person walks in the street, he goes on the plane, he goes to his work, he goes everywhere and he sees something, מראה אסור, he sees something he doesn't have to see, and he turns away his head, he turns away his eyes from not seeing, this is the time that he can ask for a Bakasha from the Kadosh Baruch Hu, this is the time you can get the Bracha, and הברכה שולטת ,אלא בדבר הסמוי מן העין when you have to be סמוי מן העין, when you have to take away your eyes from somewhere, this is the time to ask the Bakasah. All of us have Nisyonos. Nisyonos in Shemiras Einayim are on a daily basis, on a minute basis sometimes. But if you remember, don't lose. You have a big present. We have a big Zach from the Kadosh Baruch Hu. In the second we move our eyes, say that Yeshua you need, for you, for your family, for somebody else you know who needs a Yeshua. This is the time and it's Chazal. It’s not a travel agent, who made up a new Segula, you know, just to make people come over there, over there. This is Chazal. אין הברכה שולטת אלא בדבר הסמוי מן העין. Don’t miss that Nekuda.
