[00:00:00] And blast off.
[00:00:03] We are in Paragdalid 4th Parag, page 66 in the art scroll.
[00:00:12] We are in the Feldheim Paragalid Chaf Bayz 22 in the green Feldheim, a new Perak. How do we acquire this ability to be careful and to be zahir as Ramchal is going to teach us? Yine mashemevi yis Adam. Alderech klal elah zahiris. Zahiris. We're still in Zahiris. How to acquire. Being careful is on a macro level.
[00:00:42] Ulimud Haturah is learning Torah. So if a person on a macro level, when you learn Torah, it will bring a person naturally.
[00:00:54] Naturally, it'll bring a person to be more careful.
[00:01:02] Torah brings a person to be zahir. That's on a macro level, man.
[00:01:14] The Torah is R is light and it illuminates what I have to work on.
[00:01:22] The Torah teaches me what I have to work on.
[00:01:26] I think the BAAL Shem Tov says, Learn Torah.
[00:01:36] Go delve into it and turn it over, turn it around.
[00:01:43] To know that you don't have a mida toyva is hemana. You want to know that you have to work on yourself. You get that from the Torah. So macro. When a person learns Torah, which basically we can do the opposite as well, that means if a person wants to continue to live in denial and not even know what's going on, so don't learn Torah. But if you learn Torah, it will illuminate and awaken within each and every one of us. Now the Ramchal is teaching us there's a micro way to do it on the Malderach prat hamevi lizer. So that's on a clalia stick. That's on a macro level to learn Torah on the. On a more personal, private level. Hu hazboinus alchemer avoda sherchayev ba ha' Adam. It's to process.
[00:02:29] It's for a person to be misbeynayn and to think of as the Misil Sharms, the famous beginning of the Misal Sharim Achaivasa balama yusbar visamas eita la Adam. Why am I here? Who am I? What's life about?
[00:02:48] As he's going to explain.
[00:02:58] And you'll get that from delving into the Holy Svarim and from learning the words of the Chachamim which awaken and inspire all of that.
[00:03:15] I love it. So he's. He's teaching us how to process and how to understand. And he's going to break it into three separate categories. And I just want to. These are my own words that I'm saying.
[00:03:28] When we're going to learn it, they're going to be three different categories of people that the Ramchal is going to talk about, which I'm going to explain in a second.
[00:03:35] Actually, I'll say it first and then I'll explain.
[00:03:40] There are different levels. There's shleme adas, there's husame, there's the highest level, the complete, which we're going to learn about level under there and then everybody else.
[00:03:55] And the way I try and learn this is that obviously we can fit into each category, but I think different parts of us also fit into different categories as we're going to see. First, let's try and just understand this parak is a little bit from the longer prakam we've had as of now. It's not the longest parachute in. In the Masil Sisharam Yudalif, the 11th parach is the longest parachute. But let's try and just listen for where we connect. We're just probably. Today I'm gonna gonna. I don't know if we'll even finish the shlemi adas, the highest level. Let's try and listen to what the Ramchal is teaching us.
[00:04:33] The word shlemi adas means shalem means to be complete. I don't like the word perfection. I try and stay away from that because it could.
[00:04:41] It's. I don't like it. And Hadass is. Let's see what's going to awaken me. What's the question? Ramchal saying, what's going to inspire me to look after my life and to live differently? What's going to inspire me? So he's saying there are three different levels of where you're at that you will gain inspiration from. And I trust, I trust the Ramchal that he is teaching us exactly where, how I'm going to get inspired. So he says, at this level, your inspiration is going to come.
[00:05:17] All I want is I want to be b'. Shlemas. Shalem means complete. I'm motivated to live my life and I want to be someone who is a successful person, a complete person. I don't want to have so many deficiencies.
[00:05:35] My inspiration is myself and myself, me, myself and I.
[00:05:42] I am motivated to be great, to be sholing Kihine Acher. She's varzed court and again, this is not competitive. That's the second level. He's going to talk more about competition because Competition inspires people. Also, as he's going to talk about. He's not talking about competition. He's talking about this is between you, yourself and you. This is when you go to sleep at night and you're between you and yourself. When you are with yourself. It's how you feel about yourself that I want to be clear what I'm doing and how to get to good things.
[00:06:19] I want to be someone who is doing good things.
[00:06:22] I don't want to be someone who's doing bad things. I don't want to be someone who is has bad Midas. I want to be someone who has good Midas. Not because of my mommy, not because of my Tati, not because I'm not getting into where it comes from. It's not. It's not because of them. It's not the answer to anybody. It's not so what people will think. It's between me, myself and I and Hashem Kickfarnez Faratz Lumshimatuim. I'm very clear that when I don't do what I can do, or if I see that the means to what I'm doing are weak and I didn't do the best that I can, I know that I'm not going to be where I want to be. And I only have one person to answer to, and that's myself. Eli Yagarum Kvimashi Garum Vishtav Lusam. According to what I miss, if I didn't do it, I'm not going to build what I want to build.
[00:07:19] I'm not going to get to where I want to get to.
[00:07:24] That in itself is painful. It's not because I'm in trouble. It's not because I need other people's validation. We're going to talk about that in the next levels. This is very, very high level, personal, very, very focused on oneself.
[00:07:45] Therefore, I will not be satisfied until I get to where I need to get to to get to that. Shlema Shoma Vasholam Ashrei Adam.
[00:07:55] It's not what you think it is.
[00:07:57] A person is. Is. It's a good thing. As he's going to say at the end of the sefer Sunday called Yiras Chait, that I'm concerned who pierces the corner of Rachel.
[00:08:07] I'm worried that I'm not going to get to where I'm supposed to supposed to get to. And I'm constantly worried and I'm motivated. Obviously, it's from the healthiest place that you can imagine. It's nothing to do with ocd. Nothing to do with anything that you can imagine. But it's what. What it is, is. Is that it's very personal and very deep in a soy samadrega. I just said this.
[00:08:29] That's called year as Kate, which is that not what people think about. Doesn't mean I'm afraid of Hashem. It means I'm afraid that I'm going to mess up.
[00:08:38] And the example that I give of yerushayt is someone goes out with someone and he falls in love, and then he's nervous afterwards. Why is he nervous? He's nervous. What is she gonna say? Does she like me? And then the next date, he's nervous. He's not nervous. She's gonna slap him in the face. She's. He's nervous. He's nervous that. That. That the. That. That I'm gonna mess up the relationship. So too, I might be nervous that I'm not gonna get to where I'm gonna get to. She mean I'm a shubacha super madriguez, which. Which is a very good level, a very praiseworthy level. Shi' adam yare tomidoy penimatzev yada yagve leshado bavuray. That a person is actually concerned. People get upset. People think, oh, I have to all be positive and everything's great and I'm awesome and you're perfect and you did nothing wrong. People don't realize that that not sometimes is terrible. And it's very good for a person to realize that I have to improve and I have to work on myself, and I'm not all perfect, and I have a lot that I have to work on, and I don't do things right, and I have to change. There's a tremendous motivation and inspiration when a person realizes I'm not where I want to be. It's not a depressing thought. It's actually a very motivating thought. When a person says I'm not where I want to be, and. And I want to be somewhere greater.
[00:10:04] Oh, already? Sorry. I went 10 minutes, 6 seconds. Second night in a row I got to work on myself because it's not less than 10 minutes. I lied. I didn't say the truth. It's 10 minutes and 14 seconds of the mesoram will. 10 minutes and 20 seconds keeps the eight Sahara away and at bay.
