  A showroom share number 60. Well, what about intention
• 0:08
  Governor? When it comes to being a huh?
• 0:10
  Succinct? So we've looked before at the
• 0:13
  idea of selling Hashem leash Mansion, lowly sh'ma for the
• 0:18
  right reasons for not the right reasons that there's so many
• 0:21
  definitions of that term. So we'll just leave that vague
• 0:23
  for the moment. What about somebody who
• 0:27
  motivated to do everything correctly?
• 0:31
  And I've got a desire to purify their soul and come close to
• 0:34
  Hashem and just Be in the presence of the righteous ones.
• 0:38
  What you can't? Really say that such a person is
• 0:40
  badly motivated. That's okay.
• 0:42
  On the other hand, we cannot say that his motivation is a very
• 0:46
  good one either. For as long as a person is
• 0:48
  concerned with his own good, his Divine service is also performed
• 0:53
  for his own good. So it might look like a person
• 0:56
  is really connected but you've got to work out.
• 1:00
  I might doing it because I enjoy the experience as if it's for
• 1:04
  you. That's where it gets very
• 1:06
  Warden, very, very real. Am I doing it?
• 1:08
  Because I enjoyed the status, I have in society, I enjoy the
• 1:12
  accolades. I enjoy people stand when I walk
• 1:15
  into a room with an I get a front seat and events.
• 1:19
  I could be doing everything really, really correctly and to
• 1:23
  perhaps even adding various stringencies, the moment you are
• 1:27
  involved in the service of Hashem, then ultimately you're
• 1:30
  really just serving yourself. again for as long as a person is
• 1:36
  consumed concerned with his own good, his Divine service is also
• 1:41
  performed for his own good. The true motivation, which is
• 1:45
  common to Saint to have exerted themselves and persevere to
• 1:49
  acquire. It is to serve solely for the
• 1:52
  purpose of magnifying and extending the honor of Hashem.
• 2:01
  She a hard-on over Dracula man. I sure could avoid I shall hold
• 2:05
  on boo hoo, Big Doll, the Europe.
• 2:08
  So we asked ourselves it, how is what I'm doing, going to glorify
• 2:13
  Hashem, bring honor to Hashem. That's all that a person who's
• 2:17
  on this man, this level wants to achieve one will serve for this
• 2:21
  and only after he has grown strong, how'd you do this?
• 2:24
  Well, if you want someone's reputation to be stronger,
• 2:27
  that's going to come out of an affection and a love.
• 2:33
  And it's on the positive. It's the motivated by love, but
• 2:37
  also the negative side, it would cause the person pain to detract
• 2:43
  from that. So puzzle wants to magnify the
• 2:48
  name of Hashem because there's a love relationship, but also the
• 2:52
  person realizes that if they don't act in this way, it's
• 2:54
  going to detract from the name of Hashem.
• 2:56
  And that would also cause them pain.
• 2:58
  He will hope that he is, at least doing his part towards
• 3:01
  magnifying, the honor of Hashem, and he will wish to all others
• 3:05
  live their lives. With the same aspirations, the
• 3:08
  shortcoming of others, in this respect with pain and grief him,
• 3:11
  not to speak of his own unintentional and accidental
• 3:14
  lapses and there's Then when his natural weaknesses or yes, it's
• 3:17
  not something that you can guarantee.
• 3:19
  You're going to stay on this mud rigor, we all have lapses.
• 3:22
  And in a way, it's a bit of an irony or a paradox swords.
• 3:27
  If we didn't enjoy what we were doing, it would be much harder
• 3:30
  to do it. But ultimately were meant to be
• 3:33
  on a higher level. We're doing it because it's the
• 3:36
  right thing to do, and were motivated purely by the honor of
• 3:40
  Hashem. But we should remember the pulse
• 3:42
  like that. There are a couple quotes here K
• 3:45
  and chiodo meant a dick. But I also show ya sitov the
• 3:48
  lawyer has said there is no person who does only good and
• 3:51
  never sins and therefore One should not be dismayed or feel
• 3:57
  like I failed if they've not managed to stay on this level
• 4:01
  for now. Have a good day.
• 4:03
  Take care.
