- 0:01Missing number 48. We are in start a new quality
- 0:06today found beginning of chapter 18, made us has sealed us.
- 0:11The trick of thing, cleanest trick to say cleaners does
- 0:14indeed require much explanation for many customs and practices
- 0:18passed along many for saintliness which are nothing
- 0:22but the shelves of it. It's a fake imitation.
- 0:26This is attributable to a lack of close observation and honest,
- 0:31reasoning on the part of those that keep the Mitzvahs and who
- 0:34are trying to take it to the next stage, the stage of
- 0:38Casitas. So we've learned before in the
- 0:42previous, I think that to be at Sadiq is to follow the rules and
- 0:46to be an acid means to go beyond the letter of the law.
- 0:50Engaging with the spirit of the law, perhaps taking on Extra
- 0:54stringencies or performance. In a way that others won't
- 0:57follow, that's what it means to be a hostage to go beyond the
- 1:01plain letter of the law. How do people get it wrong,
- 1:06instead of exerting and wearing themselves to know, the way of
- 1:09Hashem was clear rational knowledge, they proceeded in
- 1:12saintliness on the basis of what upon the first thought that
- 1:15happens to strike them as being saintly without submitting their
- 1:19ideas, to an examination in depth and weighing them upon the
- 1:22scales of wisdom because there's a bit of a thing.
- 1:24Going through this Judaism does require all the practice of
- 1:28Judaism does require intelligent.
- 1:32Thought not Automatic practice or not true.
- 1:37Emotionally practicing Judaism or blindly out of tradition.
- 1:42But does require tremendous thoughts?
- 1:45And because there are people who just get it wrong, who perform
- 1:48weird things thinking that makes them into a saint.
- 1:51It's because of them that sing cleanest has become repulsive to
- 1:55most people. And who would have become
- 1:58repulsive to the most intelligent people in society
- 2:03for the pseudo Saints. Give the impression.
- 2:05That saintliness lies and foolish tour.
- 2:06Some runs counter to intelligence and logic and they
- 2:10lead people to believe that saintliness consists entirely in
- 2:14the reciting of men. Supplications to you're begging
- 2:17praying. Sham all day long.
- 2:19Lengthy confessions exaggerated wailings and bearings.
- 2:26Then he gets even worse. See, goofy mizoram strange
- 2:31weird. Esoteric, beating yourself up
- 2:36type Behavior such as immersion to go into the microphone and
- 2:40Ice River rolling around in the snow sort of things that are you
- 2:45know I just ridiculous. They don't realize that even
- 2:49though some of these things are required for those engaged in
- 2:52Repentance and some are appropriate for those who
- 2:54practice separation. The saintliness being accosted,
- 2:58it's not founded upon them, at all.
- 3:01I mean, aspects might help but that's not what it's about.
- 3:06The fact of the matter is that it requires Great depth to
- 3:09correctly grasp. This particular quality for
- 3:12rests upon the foundations of higher wisdom, and Upon A
- 3:15Perfection of one's Deeds. So complete as to serve, as a
- 3:19goal for all, who are wise, our heart, to you, draw transformed
- 3:23into a role model. But the mission tells us a care
- 3:30of us. Hello?
- 3:31I'm haaretz cosset. An ignoramus cannot be a saint.
- 3:40So where does it all begin begins with a lovely quote from
- 3:42the goomar ashtray. Although I'm sure amyloid
- 3:45butter. How fortunate the person who
- 3:48toils in Terror for Osteen a classroom actually odor and
- 3:53gives pleasure to Hashem. What's how does the room have
- 3:56explained this? It's known which Mitzvahs are
- 3:59binding on all of us. And to what extent one is bound
- 4:02by them. What he truly loves Hashem will
- 4:05not Endeavor in intend to fulfill his obligation by means
- 4:07of Duty, which everyone gets But will react in a very different
- 4:12way, the way that a child loves their parents.
- 4:17You know, his father gives only a slight indication of wanting
- 4:19something. The child will run to do.
- 4:22It is like giving noctis to Hashem.
- 4:26It's when we ask ourselves, will this deed will?
- 4:28What I'm about to do? Is it about getting knocked us
- 4:31to myself? Am I gonna get Prestige and
- 4:33honor amongst my peers, or deeper than that.
- 4:36Doesn't bring me nervous. Those are bring that close to
- 4:39Hashem. That's the first stage of what
- 4:41it is to be, to be safe to be a scent of saintliness of
- 4:45Casillas. The person can understand what
- 4:50brings Knuckles to their parents.
- 4:51Didn't wait to get Commander. They understand it intuitively
- 4:55and that my friends is the starting point for this
- 4:58particular quality. Had a very lovely day.
