  5 Now and and the emphasis of the last couple of pages in the
• 0:05
  last little while is that the main source of humility is our
• 0:10
  mind and the way the main way to get there when it comes to
• 0:15
  million, our mind is to recognize that the gifts that we
• 0:17
  are blessed with, whether it be wealth, intellect, physical
• 0:21
  strength, whatever it may be, those gifts are God-given gifts,
• 0:26
  clearly and the year for a purpose they had to be utilized,
• 0:29
  but they're not here to be turned inward.
• 0:31
  As I said, I said it right to be turned outward.
• 0:32
  That's the rule of theme. He then says that the truth is
• 0:35
  this is much simpler than you think it's simpler than you
• 0:39
  think for an honest real person is being real with himself to
• 0:43
  recognize that my humility should come from the back that
• 0:48
  the gifts that I have are not mine.
• 0:49
  Let's see in the bottom of 444. Actually, we'll go 44 five mean
• 0:53
  is that you invite born a Newt had a Oh you look ho Aisha Shard
• 0:58
  of a cache. This is analysis analysis and
• 1:01
  understanding. It's fit for any person who has
• 1:05
  a straight mind. It's not warped.
• 1:08
  But when he clarifies this to himself as you care enough
• 1:12
  Amiti, that's when he's called a pure real humble person should
• 1:17
  believe Bo be killed Bo who enough and his insides and his
• 1:21
  mind. He's humble.
• 1:23
  Who can young David Chamala Mikhal Vita Shafal day night.
• 1:27
  David tells Mija his wife. Right, He says I'm lowly in my
• 1:33
  own eyes, which means I consider myself humble.
• 1:36
  Now how great it is to be of low spirit, meaning humble.
• 1:49
  A person who will bring a sacrifice of korban Hola.
• 1:55
  You get the reward of that korban.
• 1:57
  We're going to compare Minka, he brings a flower sacrifice,
• 2:01
  Scarman Javier do. He gets the reward of the Korba
• 2:05
  mecha about Misha da toshafa La La, but of a person.
• 2:10
  If you comparison, instead of bringing the sacrifice, he
• 2:13
  himself, in his sense sacrificed himself, took himself down.
• 2:18
  He himself doesn't see himself as a big deal.
• 2:21
  He didn't bring his sacrifice. He kind of is a sacrifice.
• 2:23
  What do we say about him? Malaya Lavacatu, he's the
• 2:27
  equivalent of bringing every sacrifice possible.
• 2:33
  It's not just similar to doing one thing or another thing.
• 2:36
  It's much bigger than that. If you yourself really, truly
• 2:40
  think of yourself in a humble manner, you're the equivalent of
• 2:43
  bringing every sacrifice of Niger.
• 2:46
  But we'll explain why in a second.
• 2:50
  Is the sacrifice of Hashem the low spirit?
• 2:54
  And again, low spirits not mean the same way.
• 2:56
  It means in a humble way. This is the great praise for a
• 3:01
  low spirit person. She have a Naveen Biliba humble
• 3:06
  in their heart and their mind. God does not want us.
• 3:12
  And this is very important says I don't love you because you're
• 3:15
  large and old nations. I'll give you an example right
• 3:17
  now. Right now, again, once again,
• 3:21
  the Jewish people, Israel are unbelievably impressive at war.
• 3:26
  And right now it's a moment for banging your chest.
• 3:28
  There's no question about it. In full reality, we all know and
• 3:31
  it seems that Israel intelligence is the greatest
• 3:34
  intelligence in the world. It seems like in a certain sense
• 3:38
  they display in your mind, they as they as they even issued a
• 3:42
  report yesterday that they said the level of intelligence is or
• 3:47
  the level of activities that they're doing leads to the
• 3:50
  imagination. That's how impressive it is and
• 3:52
  it's unbelievable, right? Unbelievable.
• 3:55
  It also can lead to a sense in our minds like, wow, were you so
• 3:59
  powerful or so this is so that that's not really the goal.
• 4:02
  The goal Hashem says constantly is I don't love you and I'm not
• 4:05
  impressed by you because you're middle chemical.
• 4:07
  I mean, I'm not impressed by you because you're larger and louder
• 4:12
  and bigger than all the other nations.
• 4:13
  I don't care for that. It's true.
• 4:14
  Maybe not the goal because there are many times in history we
• 4:18
  were not in that position, many times in history where we were
• 4:21
  actually in a certain sense more diminished than all the nations
• 4:25
  in the world in every sense. So what then does God care
• 4:28
  about? He cares more about our
• 4:31
  humility, our recognition of the fact that we are low, we are not
• 4:36
  minds, we are not cowering us off on arrogance.
• 4:39
  Now what does it mean that you serve and your humility is more
• 4:45
  powerful than every combined combined?
• 4:47
  Or does that even mean every sacrifice?
• 4:49
  See here I believe is a theme. What's the purpose of a
• 4:52
  sacrifice? A different explanations, but
• 4:54
  the overall theme is like you're sacrificing yourself.
• 4:56
  You give an animal as a representation of yourself.
• 4:59
  It's like I'm putting myself on the altar and if I can sacrifice
• 5:02
  myself, how much more and how much more impressive would it be
• 5:07
  if I can bring not just one representation of myself, which
• 5:11
  is a Corbat Hola, another representation which is a Corbin
• 5:14
  milkha. How about if I could bring my
• 5:17
  whole entire self as a sacrifice means I, I believe in my heart
• 5:22
  that I myself do not deserve anything.
• 5:25
  I myself am not worthy of anything and I put my entire
• 5:29
  being into that sacrifice that I'd be the Rep.
• 5:31
  I'd be basically comparative to bringing the whole bed in the
• 5:35
  mcdash full of sacrifices because I am putting my entire
• 5:38
  self on the altar. So there's a covanola,
• 5:41
  covanchilamima, covancha covan toda.
• 5:44
  Every element of myself is being sacrificed and every sacrifice
• 5:47
  is being brought out to myself. If it's get a theme, so he's
• 5:50
  telling you that when you are humble, you are saying to
• 5:54
  yourself and therefore saying to the people around you unto God.
• 5:57
  I do not believe that I am my own self worthy and I don't
• 6:02
  think I deserve credit and I don't think it's about me and
• 6:05
  all that that you put it all combined completely and you are
• 6:08
  the equivalent of a person sacrificing everything, which
• 6:12
  means giving everything off to God and the people around you
• 6:15
  saying to yourself, to me saying to yourself, it's not about me.
• 6:19
  It doesn't relate to me and I did not on my own deserve have
• 6:24
  any standing. I don't feel that I have any
• 6:26
  reason to stand on my own. And again, this does not need to
• 6:30
  lack of confidence. We always say is just leads to a
• 6:34
  proper understanding of the full picture.
• 6:36
  And that is my entire existence was given to me.
• 6:41
  My entire existence is for others.
• 6:43
  My entire existence is for Haishen and that changes your
• 6:46
  entire perspective. You are and your mind with this
• 6:49
  perspective, a complete and total service to SM, he says.
• 6:53
  And this is the straight way of thinking.
• 6:54
  This is not the warp way of thinking.
• 6:56
  This is not the a lot of work way of thinking.
• 6:59
  This is the honest way of thinking.
• 7:00
  As you always say, if you think about your life, you think about
• 7:04
  your picture, you think about anything and you realize it was
• 7:07
  handed to you. One way or another, it was
• 7:09
  delivered to you. If that's the case, I am in a
• 7:12
  very humble state as the friend of mine.
• 7:14
  All right, that's a little more 446 at my land marketers by The
• 7:20
  Who Hashem says by night, my children, I need Konchette by
• 7:25
  him. I love you.
• 7:27
  I have a great connection to you.
• 7:29
  I have a desire for you. Chef Phil Lucas Shani must be
• 7:33
  out of him. Get a lot because the way it
• 7:34
  works is even as I give you blessing and greatness and power
• 7:39
  at them in my team as my hamlet Panay.
• 7:42
  You make yourself humble in front of me.
• 7:48
  I gave Abraham powered by like don't give yourself Abraham
• 7:52
  Abinu was on top of the world and yet he called himself how
• 7:57
  far to live Natati, you do a lot of more shit.
• 8:02
  I gave you a lot of mushy. I said who are we?
• 8:13
  I'm like a worm, not a man, the king of the Jewish people, the
• 8:18
  one of our main kings, Avia Melech.
• 8:20
  And yet Anoki to a lot calls any much in a lay by a charmania at
• 8:26
  small is always in the back at the straight minded that allow
• 8:29
  himself late for taught me Shumala to be to be infatuated
• 8:35
  with himself, to be fans, to become busy with himself because
• 8:39
  of any Kip that he had. As she will be Adobe met, she
• 8:42
  quite long Pezios and Peterson would talk.
• 8:47
  She is actually able this person.
• 8:49
  Every person realizes I have weaknesses and therefore I
• 8:52
  remain humble. Both shafil about time I'm at
• 8:55
  photos mom. She see.
• 8:58
  Even in the levels that he reached great heights, he
• 9:03
  recognizes himself that he has not reached the finish line in
• 9:06
  any single area. You never want to feel like
• 9:09
  you're done. You never want to feel like you
• 9:11
  made it, and you never want to feel like I am humble.
• 9:14
  I am recognize. I I have proper recognition of
• 9:17
  the fact that I have more to go. If the greats of greats had this
• 9:21
  humility and any person could have the two that should be a
• 9:24
  friend of mine and the Jewish people as a whole, no matter how
• 9:27
  hard they are, should absorb the fact that is not about me
• 9:33
  banging my chest. It never is about that.
• 9:35
  It never based on that. It's simply about me
• 9:38
  internalizing. OK, more mission, more, more to
• 9:43
  do, more of power to affect others because the more Hashem
• 9:49
  is investing in me is instead of turning it to more arrogance, I
• 9:53
  turn it over more understanding of what I'm here and why I'm
• 9:57
  here. And that friend of mine makes
• 10:00
  you through a greater person. Hashem looks at us and says, oh
• 10:03
  wow, you don't have is the power.
• 10:06
  You're not busy with the numbers, you're not busy with
• 10:09
  the big deal that you are. You rather are retaining the
• 10:13
  proper approach on your ancestors and therefore you're
• 10:16
  going to be great. Alright, we'll start with this.
