Your actions in this world paves the path to the world to come

there was once a king and the king had one son that never got married and finally after many years the son got married and they threw the biggest party in history everybody in the kingdom got an invitation to the wedding now one guy got an invitation in the mail and he got so excited can you imagine wow i'm gonna go to the palace i'm gonna see the king he couldn't believe it he went and bought a new suit he pinned the invitation to the wall he couldn't believe he's going to be in the palace another person on the other side of town didn't get an invitation in the mail he got a personal invitation a whole entourage of people came to invite him ministers and generals and the second to the king you name it they all came comes the day of the wedding the guy with the invitation puts on his suit puts his invitation in his pocket and he goes out of the building the second that he walks out of the building starts pouring rain he said how am i gonna get down to the wedding i'm gonna get all soaking wet so he's like okay you know he sees the bus coming down from the main street he's like the second that the bus comes close i'm gonna run out i'll make it so the bus comes closer he starts running towards the bus the bus driver doesn't see him he starts driving away he's like hey hey the bus drives and he starts running up to the bus hey the wedding the wedding and the bus drives off and he's running after the bus he's screaming to the driver stop stop i gotta get to the wedding and the bus drives off and he's running in the rain he's getting soaking wet and he falls into a puddle that's completely soaking wet he gets up from the puddle starts walking offset on the way a group of robbers they come they beat him up they rob him they throw him into another bottle on the other side of town the other guy who got the invitation you know the personal invitation he's not going to the wedding in the rain limousines are lined up in front of his house helicopters in the sky soldiers surrounding him and guarding him they're carrying him like this into the limo they're putting him in the limo 12 o'clock at night the wet guy finally arrives at the at the palace soaking wet he's gushing blood the soldiers stop him and tell him can we help you he tells them i'm invited to the wedding can we see your invitation please he's like of course he puts his hand into his soaking wet pocket and he pulls out the invitation and soaking wet there's nothing left from the invitation the guards tell him we're very sorry we can't accept this as an invitation he's like invitation who needs the invitation just looks and you look in your list i'm telling you i'm invited we need an invitation he's like guys forget about the invitation i'm telling you i'm invited you can't come in we need an invitation it turns in are you out of your mind you know what i went through to come to this wedding look at me i'm soaking wet i'm gushing blood i was robbed i was mugged i'm starving i didn't eat anything all day long so one of the guards tells him oh you're hungry no problem he goes into the kitchen comes out with a plate of sushi tells them here sit down eat you're telling them guys i'm telling you i'm invited to the wedding you got to let me in no you're not coming in he's looking through the bars to see in the inside maybe he can recognize somebody that knows maybe he can pull some strings and he's looking and he sees all the way at the end the king sitting on the table right next to the king is the groom and the bride and on the other side of the guru of the king is the guy who came with all the limousines and he's telling the guards guys i'm telling you let me in you can't come in so the mall of the story is very very simple our sages teach us israel yes all the jews have a place in the world to come we are all invited to the wedding the problem is how are you going to get to the wedding how is going to be the journey to the wedding and when you're finally there where are you going to be are you going to be inside or you're going to be outside wet gushing blood with a plate of sushi this world is your preparation to the world to come to the eternal wedding this is not a two-hour wedding it's not an eight-hour wedding it's an eternal wedding a party we can't even imagine what's this wedding this world is the preparation for that wedding everything that i do in this world guarantees my journey to the wedding and when i'm finally there where i'm going to be positioned positioned so i want to get there first class and i want to be right next to the king so my entire life is devoted to the king every second of the day is devoted to the king because it's only 60 years 50 years 70 years it's nothing some people say i'm just fine being in the courtyard yeah but you don't understand what it means the journey up to the wedding the journey can be very bumpy the point is that we have here such a short period to refine and to define our eternal state in the world to come and every second of my day i can do good and i can do not good very simple it's what i choose i'm grabbing diamonds in this world every second another diamond comes the end of the day i'm going to count how many diamonds i have you're not doing a favor to anyone you're not doing a favor to god you doing it for yourself of course you're doing it for your entire surrounding your family your loved ones your community the entire world but ultimately you're doing it for yourself so bazaar i wish you great successes when you leave this door tonight you leave this door with a complete change in your heart complete change in your entire life grab the coupon grab the suspicious time to jump on the express train because tonight you have an auspicious time and it's not about you waking up tomorrow in the morning and sitting in yeshiva for seven hours that's not the point is what you're incorporating in your life tomorrow that you
