[00:00:00] 2, 1, and blast off. We are on page 91, three lines from the top. [00:00:14] Thank you. [00:00:19] If you don't mind, I get a little sorry. That's okay. [00:00:26] And we are in the green. [00:00:29] It's the last page, 30 lamed, last five, six words on the. [00:00:38] On the line. On the top line. Ishayu Sadin. [00:00:42] We are finishing off the perek that is telling us, that is teaching us. The Ramchal is teaching us that there's something called Rahamim. [00:00:59] Thank you. [00:01:01] The Ramchal is teaching us that there's something called rahamim. And there are three perspectives that Din and Akhet do. [00:01:16] That is that number one, that a person gets punished immediately. Number two, that the punishment is very strong. [00:01:25] And number three, that you can't fix it. [00:01:28] So Rahamim gives that a person is able to get away from those. And he says, Even though it's a chesed that is not straightened in, but it does have some aspect of din. Why. [00:02:02] That? The desire that you wanted to do while you were doing the chait, or the enjoyment that you had when you did the khat, there is something called regret and pain. So the process of teshuvah and a person regretting and a person feeling bad. So even though you're right, Hashem has rachemim, but there is some type of din in the fact that at the end of the day, you do have your pain in place of the enjoyment and you have regret in place of your desire. Bechain similarly, says Arichas Hazman that Hashem gives us time. [00:02:43] It doesn't mean that Hashem is ignoring that which you did just because people. People have trouble with that. They're like, well, I don't understand. [00:02:55] Either Hashem is strictly judgmental in me or he doesn't care what I do. No, Hashem gives us time. [00:03:03] And like any relationship, any healthy relationship, you forgive and you give person time. Someone does something wrong and they apologize and you give them time. [00:03:18] In general, there's a din that a child who has, who. Who can. Can accomplish for his father, if his father was a Russia, that the child can be mezake his father by doing good things. That's chesed. That's chesed. O miktas nefesh gehola nefesh. Or if a person is deserving to, God forbid, be punished by death, so he could. [00:03:45] He could go through certain pain of a limb or something that is as if he had a kapara for that. [00:03:58] The chesed is that I'm accepting a little bit like it's A lot. [00:04:05] It doesn't go against totally Din, as he just explained, it's logical. There's a logical explanation to say that Hashem loves us and I made a mistake and Hashem will give us time to think that Hashem will just say, you could get away with anything, or it's just, I don't care what you do. [00:04:37] That's against Din completely. [00:04:43] He says you'll never find that everything has a clear cheshbin of how Hashem does. Everything is perfectly just. [00:04:57] And if a person is not able to escape one of these things, if a person, as he says, as he says, if a person is not able to do teshuvah, if a person is not able to go ahead and have the regret in place of his desire, whatever it's going to be, then, then, then, then, time at the end of the day, the time at the end of the day, you got it, you're gonna have to pay for it. That's. That's just the reality of life. You're gonna have to pay for everything. Are there ways out of it? There are ways out of it, but if you don't get out of it, then you're gonna have to. There's consequences. [00:05:44] Hashem has patience. [00:05:47] He'll end up. He'll end up collecting what belongs to him. Nimta this is where we're up to a person who wants to look after his life. [00:06:01] So I got to be very careful. [00:06:04] Either because I'm in competition with myself, either because I'm in competition with other people, or I know that I'm going to have to pay for whatever I do in this world. [00:06:21] For sure, a person will accomplish. [00:06:24] So what's interesting is the Ramchal is saying that if you want to acquire and be inspired to change your life, then you want to look at these three different levels. Let's begin the next parak. Now, even if I do that, says Ramchal, there are three reasons that I won't. [00:06:42] That I won't look after myself. Hinem, hafsidi, hamidazezh, mechem, shlesha. The There are three reasons why a person or three midos that are mafsida that will detract from a person to change his life is one of my favorites. Number one is I'm too busy. [00:07:04] I'm too busy, so I don't have time to change. I'm too busy, too busy. Number two, Ashaytva lesson, which we're going to talk about more or less that I hear a good. [00:07:18] I learned, I get inspired. And right afterwards, a minute later, the phone rings or my phone zaps or something else distracts me. Right? A person hears something as we're going to talk about. Person processes things and then automatically he gets distracted. That's for sure. Something is the Ramchal talking about in the 1700s. Could you imagine nowadays? Distraction, distraction, distraction. Number three, Ashley is your friends. Hevra ra. So there are three reasons why I might be inspired to change. I might want to change, but I'm not going to change because either I'm too busy to change or I get distracted too quickly. Or number three, my friends. As he's going to say, Yeah, yeah, it means joking. But, but, but we'll go. We'll go into it. Shoken lots and means. Means that you're laughter and late sonus. But really that's what it means as we're going to see it. It means that you're not processing. You don't process. Amalek cuts off the head. Amalek is the let, which is. We think it means, ha ha, you're joking around. It just means you're distracted. The joke is pulling you away from the seriousness of what's going on. We'll talk more about it. Here we go, one by one. Hinat. Yes. Pashup shat shoykan lutzen is laughter and Leitzanus number one. [00:08:53] We're almost nine minutes in. That's it. [00:08:58] Since I'm occupied in my brain, in my heart, I'm very busy in my life. Leave me alone. [00:09:07] Very powerful. My brain is in jail. [00:09:12] It's locked up. [00:09:17] His thoughts become constricted by the pressures that are imposed upon them. [00:09:24] My head, as I say many times, it's not hard to get out of your bed. It's hard to get out of your head. It's your head that's the problem. It's not doing things that's the problem. It's your head that's the problem. [00:09:39] I'm not able to be focused on what I want to do. [00:09:52] Work less and connect to reality more to Torah. Less than 10 minutes a day keeps the Itzahara way and that bay.
