[00:00:00] 3, 2, 1.
[00:00:04] Blast off.
[00:00:06] We are in parquet.
[00:00:08] We are on page 96 in the art scroll. We are on page top of the page.
[00:00:17] We are on page 31.
[00:00:20] Lamed Olive in the green Feldheim.
[00:00:25] Second paragraph.
[00:00:27] One, two, three, four lines from the bottom of the second paragraph.
[00:00:33] So here we go. We said there are three reasons why I'm not going to be looking after my life. The first reason is, we said, because I am too busy. The second reason is, which, to be continued, we'll explain what that means.
[00:00:52] The third is people.
[00:00:55] My friends, my chevra, the people I hang around with.
[00:00:59] And the Ramchal was already saying on the first one, our mach shavos are in jail.
[00:01:08] Machshavas are constricted by the pressures that are imposed upon them. And Seder Amchal, he ended off by saying, spend more time learning Torah and work less. Why? Here we go. Kihine, listen to the Ramchal. Thank you, Hashem for the Ramchal to teach me to teach us how to live our life. Where else am I learning? Ask yourself that question. Where else am I learning how to live my life?
[00:01:40] So where else am I learning how to live my life?
[00:01:46] A person needs to make a living and he needs to work because he needs to make a living.
[00:01:55] If I overwork, I don't need it. That's not needed. So that I don't. That I'm not able to. Ready. I'll say it like this. Spend time with my children. Spend time with my family. Spend time with my. With avodah. Working, connecting to Hashem.
[00:02:16] Doing what I deep down truly know that the purpose of this world is the Parnasa. Making a living is a means to an end. It's not the end in itself. Making money is a means to an end. To have money, I need money because I need to eat. I need to live. As we're going to learn. Not now. We'll learn more in and precious about that.
[00:02:41] That's why we are supposed to focus our time on Torah.
[00:02:49] As he said, Torah mevili day zeros. Like we said today, learning Torah, When a person learns Torah, when a person is able to spend time in his avodas hashem and thinking about what life is about, which is Torah. Kamarapinchas toyot mvil des iris. Which by the way, Agav, they asked this kasha many years ago. This is very parenthetical. I usually is not the form to say this, but I'll just say quickly. There is no chapter for Torah Mevila de zahiris. We start with zahiris it starts with chavasso lolamo in the edition that they found about 20, 30 years ago.
[00:03:26] The other edition, the Ramchal, there actually is. There are different.
[00:03:30] Yeah, it's not for now. We'll talk maybe afterwards. So I found the rev Hudna pshat and why we say Torah Sad mereba. Why, why, why, why? The Ramchal doesn't start off with Torah, but the pshat is, is that ultimately Torah is, as he said in the last parach, is in a macro sense, will bring a person to be zahir. When you learn Torah, as the Ramchal says in Derek Hashem, if the Rishayim would just always learn Torah and learn Torah and learn Torah and learn Torah, eventually it'll. It'll bring them to do chuva. Even if it's low lishma, it'll bring a person to do chuva. The only reason they don't do chuva is because they stop learning.
[00:04:13] Without Torah, you will not reach that ability to look after your life. Umash Amruzal, here it is.
[00:04:24] You can't be a chassid. And of course he's not talking about a chassid as a Khusid. He's talking about Hasidus. He's not talking about being a chusid. Not that a chusid can't be a chassid, but the shot is. Is that. Is that you can't reach the ultimate goal. You can't reach the ultimate goal of being a. A shalem Jew if you don't learn Torah. That's what he says.
[00:04:49] We'll talk afterwards. Avi, here, listen to this, guys. This is so this is why 10 minutes can change your life.
[00:04:57] The God who created man, Habaris barakshmo, shabara hayetza hara b'. Adam. He created your Yetzahara. Whatever your Yetzahara is, Hashem gave you and created that yetzahara. Hushabara hatara taval. No, he told me how to spice up that Yetzahara.
[00:05:20] Barasi ate Tahara Davlin, right? We all know the famous gemara in Kedushin that Hashem created the Torah, he created the eight Sahara, and he created the Torah as a spice. We'll talk about that after the. I know. Betsel is already excited to talk about that.
[00:05:35] Listen what he says. It's obvious. It's Pashit.
[00:05:40] This is where you use your seichel. If the Ramchal says it's pashit, it means it's Pashit. And if it's not, push it. It means we're not thinking straight. He's saying, it's obvious if Hashem created for this wound, this medicine.
[00:06:03] The example I like to give is a guy goes to the doctor and he says, oh, what's the diagnosis? He has strep, he has this. So the doctor says, here's pen. I don't know if they do penicillin anymore. Amoxicillin. Here is the medicine. And the guy goes, oh, well, I'm going to be smarter than my doctor. What does he do? He looks up on chat gbt, he does AI, blah blah blah. And it says, oh, do this and this and that. Or you Google it, whatever you used to Google. Imagine you're going to tell your kids there used to be something called Google.
[00:06:32] What a fool, what a fool, what a fool. The doctor knows what your problem is. He diagnosed you. Not only that, the rabbanishom gave you this yetza hara. He gave you this problem. And he tells you, I, I have the medicine.
[00:06:51] Yetzahara in a person is very strong. Don't underestimate how strong he is.
[00:06:58] Without a person knowing this, Without you even knowing, what's that example of the frog and the in the water where you boil it up slowly. It boils, it boils. It boils and it dies. You take a frog, they did an experiment, they throw it in a boiling pot, the frog will jump out. You put a frog in a cold water, you boil it up, it'll die without even knowing. So a person could live? Yeah. Real. Yes.
[00:07:36] You could do all remedies, all plans in the world, but you don't take Torah as your medicine.
[00:07:47] Interesting that he says that could be medico in every word.
[00:07:56] It's going to be too late.
[00:07:57] A person wakes up, as we said, too late. So if a person is not taking his medicine, he has high blood pressure, person's not taking the medicine. So he says, I'm fine. Guy has diabetes, he has whatever a person has, he doesn't take his medicine. I'm good. Eventually what happens, it catches up with him. So too, that's what he says, the eight Sahara. Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly will destroy you. And if you don't take the medicine that was created for you.
[00:08:31] This guy knows nothing. Like we said, how long to go to medical school, right?
[00:08:37] How many? At least eight years.
[00:08:39] And then what? You only know the field that you're in. Oh, but Yiddishkeit I know, by the time I'm 18, maybe not.
[00:08:56] So too, says the holy Ramchal. Ain mi shamakir bacholi hayetza hara ubekoycha, bro Hashem created your yetzer hara. So he knows how to help you.
[00:09:13] So me?
[00:09:17] Why would you be foolish to say, oh, the way I'm going to change my life and heal myself is another way. I know. We'll talk afterwards.
[00:09:26] There are ways with. Like we spoke the other time. When a person has a Torah, he said in the last Barak, that's bederach Tlal. That's bederach Klal. That you learn. And then there's the prat. There are the details of how you work on yourself. 9 minutes and 40 seconds.
[00:09:43] Okay, we'll continue tomorrow.
[00:09:49] Yavin at Shmesha Kabura Baruch Hakman Emes. I don't want to rush that. I want to do less than 10 minutes a day. We'll start from that line. He keeps the Yetzahara away and at bay. Nine minutes.
