[00:00:01] Speaker A: Blast off. We are on page 86, the top line, the Kane Umru. We are in the green that's in the art scroll in the green Feldheim. We are on page 28, second paragraph, 1, 2, 3, 4 lines in the second paragraph, second to last word on the line. Vahin Amru. We are finishing up the third level of inspiration. If somebody wants to change his life. We have the Shlemi Hadass. We have those who are trying to achieve shlemus, which is they are in competition with themselves. We have the second level, which is competition with others. And in the olama emes. And now we've been dealing with just consequences, cause and effect. The reality of everything that we do is big, has substantiality and is very substantial. And as we left off yesterday, that if a person thinks that everything is free and insignificant, his life will will be insignificant. That's not a threat. It's a spiritual math bechen Amru. That's where we're up to him. If the Yetzer Hara says, If the Yetzahara tells you you could do whatever you want and Hashem will just forgive you, do not listen to him. This is something that is simple, says the holy Ramchal Umevoire and very, very clear. Kinei el Ms. Hashem kel Ms. Hashem. Hashem is truthful. Humasha amer Moishe rabbeinu Lavashalom is what Moishe rabbeinu says. Hatsur Tamim Paoloi Kihol Drach of Mishpad Kel amuna vain aval tzadik vyashahu han. Hashem is perfect in the way he deals with each and every one of us. Kikevan Shakur Huites what Hashem desires is to be as fair as anyone could ever imagine, Since Hashem desires fairness and everything to be beautifully just so. If you would ignore the bad, it would be as much injustice as ignoring the good. So doing the bad, ignoring the bad, sorry, ignoring the good would be the opposite of just al qain mishpadu rotze tzarok seyitin lechol is kedrochav, the khepri malalov betachlisadiktuq. You get exactly what you do. As one of the pshatim that I like to say is, as we say on Rosh Hashanah from Unasana Toikif, that we think it's Hashem who creates our olam. Haba gives us reward and schar or however that works. It's really ourselves who. Who create all the things that we create in a very deep way. Bayin la tov bayn lamutov. Whether it's good or bad, we have so much more power than we can imagine. As the Mishnah pirak yava says, a person creates malachim. A person creates. It's between you and yourself. Vahinu kale emunavien. Avel tzadik vyashu shapir sezala tzadikim viller shaim hashem does not differentiate. Kikachi amidavi alakolhudon. There is no escape. Here is one of the most fundamental pieces. I don't know if we're going to finish the whole thing tonight, but let's at least begin a very, very fundamental. So it could be Sunday night as well. I'm going to say how fundamental this is or the next time we learn this. I think the. The entire sefer. This is the only time he uses this lushen vem taimar in Chassidas. Later he uses a different lushan, I think. But it's interesting how the Ramchala is actually asking, and if you'll say, im cain so mi das harachmem lomahi oy medis. So where do you get Rahman from? So how do you mix Rachamim with everything we're talking about? If everything I do is meaningful, everything's significant. Good, bad averis mitzvahs. Where does rahmim come in? Ha' shuva vadai holy Ramchal. The answer is like this. Midas harachmem hikiyuma shal oylam. The only way for the world to exist is with mercy. Shalo haye maid zulasa iklal uklal. Like we learned a few weeks ago that Allah be' ma' achava liberates for me this hadin. And he saw that it's not possible, so he put in Rachamim v' afaopiken loike. The Ramchalah is going to say that of course is Rahamim, but don't think that he rules out din. So there's a mixture shittaf imo. Midas harachamim. The world has din and rachemim together, which is very interesting. And the Ramchal is going to explain how rachemim and din work together. There are three levels that happen if everything would go exactly the fishuras hadin. These are the three things that would happen. In Midas Haddin. If a person did an avera automatically, at that moment, it's over. He would be Punished. Nothing to talk about. Number two, the onish atzmo ye becharonaf. There would be anger, like you're going against the king. You. You're going against God, you go against the king. There's no way to escape it. Number three, there would be no way to fix what I did. Now listen to the examples the Ramchal gives, which to me is so beautiful. Kihine beemes again. He says, Once a person did something wrong, how is it possible to go back in the past and to fix it? Look at the two examples the Ramchal gives. Harish erotzach ha' odom es chavero. Somebody commits murder. Someone murders someone. The guy is dead. How could you possibly fix that? You can't bring him back to life. Haresh. Somebody committed adultery. Somebody had a child with an and created a human being, a mamzer. Someone went ahead and did it. What are you going to do? How is it possible? What I did is what I did. Interesting that the Ramchal uses too strong 2 out of the 3 biggies. How is it possible? Omnam. Here he goes. There's something called rachamim hanotenetz hefech hasho tzvoram. It gives the exact opposite of the things we mentioned. Number one, you got time. Hashem says yutan zman lechite. I'll give you time. Number two, Sorry. And that right away it doesn't happen that you get punished. He says, I'll give you time to do chuvah. Number two, the punishment is not that you are going to get destroyed. And number three, Shat shuva tina la choytim becheset gamor shetech Akira Saratzon, kakira samaisa hashem. Put into the world that you're uprooting your ratzon to have done what you did and you have regret. It's as if you never did the maisa. It's one of the reasons they say we say kol nidre the night of Yom Kippur. Dahainu shabios chatoy. I recognize what I did wrong. And I admit what I did wrong. Umizboinin al raso and. And I process what I did wrong. Vishav u mischara of harata gamura keharata sanider mamish shumis Nachem. Sorry, we're 9 minutes and 33 seconds. I said less than 10 minutes. I apologize. We're probably going to go a little bit longer, so I apologize if I. If I didn't say the truth before, but I Forgot how important it is. We might go another minute or a minute and a half. So again, there are four things. We've spoken about this before. I need to recognize what I did wrong. I need to admit that I did it wrong. I need to process what I did wrong. And I need to say I really regret that. It's literally like the charatos haneda. That's what I was saying. Why? One of the reasons they bring down why Yom Kippur night we say kol nidre because we uproot. It's a crazy thing. It's as if I never did this thing in existence. It doesn't exist. Literally. It's like it never happened. And I have. Tzar tzar chazak al shikvarnas adavar v' oze voso la bo bareh mimenu hine akira sadav merzono. The fact that I my ratunas. I wish I would have done not done this. Incredible. It's as if a person makes a neder and he says, oh, if I would have known that I'm not allowed to eat cake, I promise. And I make a nether that I'm not going to eat cake. If I would have known that it would be whatever the situation is, that this would be the situation, I wish I never would have made the nether. So it's if we go back lima Freya retroactively and it's as if it doesn't exist, so too when a person does chuvah and I'm going to end off with this. I in the gemara and Shabbos taf kuf yud tes amud beis on the top of the amud, which it says when a person says vayechulu hashem bar Friday night it brings this pasach. Now what happens? Shabbos is teshuvah. We spoke about it last Friday night. Shabbos is teshuvah. And somehow teshuvah makes it that you're able to uproot as if you never did that thing wrong. M' sha' avon sermamish mametzias veneka b' masha acha mitzar misakha ma' asha haya le mafrea. 11 minutes. Under 12 minutes. A little more than two extra minutes. [00:12:02] Speaker B: Worth it. [00:12:03] Speaker A: Thank you. Less than 10 minutes a day. Now it's less than 12 minutes. 12 minutes and 30 seconds a day keeps the Sahara away. We will continue.
