Rabbi Moshe Haber Path of the Just: Smile, You're on Camera 6.1.26 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

  You know, in the end and a couple more, I skipped him.
• 0:06
  He brings different examples of individuals who agree about
• 0:11
  Shamim. So let's look at for just a
• 0:13
  couple of days, maybe one day even, how a person acquires fear
• 0:18
  of Shamim and will you all imagine how they do?
• 0:21
  So how do you acquire fear of heaven?
• 0:23
  If I had to ask you, I think you would pretty much come up with
• 0:26
  the answer yourself. Let's do what he says, the means
• 0:31
  which the person can acquire. The fear of Hashem who is born
• 0:37
  in is focusing on 2 very true points.
• 0:49
  One recognition that Hashem is everywhere, really, and nothing
• 0:57
  is hidden from God's eyes. The reason I'm afraid is because
• 1:00
  God's seeing me for reason. I'm careful and I'm wary and I'm
• 1:04
  nervous and because God is noticing everything I do, big or
• 1:07
  small. There's nothing that's too big
• 1:12
  for a shame, obviously not. Nothing too small.
• 1:20
  The big or the small, the light or the heavy, Who The Who may
• 1:24
  be. And God sees now does He see,
• 1:27
  God understands fully what's going on.
• 1:30
  So there's nothing I can get away with.
• 1:32
  There's no sketch. Every single angle that we tried
• 1:35
  to pull on other people, every sketch that we think we can
• 1:37
  convince the people. You cannot convince God, who may
• 1:40
  have been believe, have flesh. Hashem can notice without any
• 1:43
  sort of much believe flesh without any distinction.
• 1:47
  God can understand the most complicated and the most simple
• 1:50
  situation all the same. Huma shyamala katuv, my local
• 1:55
  artist, Caputo. The idea that Hashem fills the
• 1:57
  whole world means filled, filled, filled.
• 2:00
  Every single nook and cranny has got God in it.
• 2:03
  And because of that, there's nowhere in my life I can run
• 2:07
  away. There's no move that I can make
• 2:10
  that can avoid Hashem. That's the case.
• 2:12
  I'm careful. I understand.
• 2:14
  If it were clear to me that God's right here, I wouldn't do
• 2:16
  anything dumb. The only reason why people do
• 2:19
  anything that's not fully proper is because they ignore Hashem's
• 2:23
  existence at that moment. If a person becomes fully aware
• 2:27
  on the truth, there's no need for sketch over here.
• 2:29
  There's no need to exaggerate, just aware of the basic truth
• 2:32
  which we all know and that is that we same way we see Hashem
• 2:35
  involved in the entire world. We also can absorb the fact that
• 2:39
  God's involved in my life and beyond that absorb the fact that
• 2:42
  God's involved in the smallest conversations, corners,
• 2:46
  situation, whatever it may be Vomer Allah at the shamaya with
• 2:50
  eyes and Himalay pursue can hear me.
• 2:52
  I said Hashem fills the entire heavens in here the Omer Mika
• 2:58
  Hashem in the Kingdom Hamed bila shavet, who is like Hashem who
• 3:02
  is enthroned in high, yet Hamashpili comes down.
• 3:06
  What was Shamaya about it? Hashem come come down to see the
• 3:10
  heavens and the earth. They were made Kira mashen.
• 3:14
  Hashem is elevated Ishaf al Yeh there, yet he sees the low, the
• 3:18
  gavoir mehraki da and the 11 high makes himself known from
• 3:22
  afar. Everything is pointing to the
• 3:24
  same point. We are not indicating that
• 3:26
  Hashem only find himself in the small areas.
• 3:29
  Now God is exalted. The original perspective that we
• 3:33
  have a God on a chariot on a throne, elevated that
• 3:37
  imagination is true, but at the same time involved in every
• 3:42
  single nook and cranny, every single small situation, every
• 3:45
  single small conversation, every small thought.
• 3:49
  And when you absorb that idea, all it does is wake you up and
• 3:52
  say, I got to be careful. I got to be wary.
• 3:55
  I got to be, you know, fully all my best at my A game at all
• 3:58
  times. And that is the kind of fear
• 4:01
  we're looking for, not just some of the trepidation awareness.
• 4:05
  The goal of fear is that we all know the two ways that we can be
• 4:10
  woken up. We're either woken up from love
• 4:12
  or woken up from fear. And at times you need that
• 4:17
  awareness slash fear to wake you up to keep you on your game.
• 4:21
  How is that possible? By recognizing the guys right
• 4:25
  here, right now. He's in your office, he's in
• 4:28
  your home, he's in the conversation, he's in your car.
• 4:31
  He's in your heart, He's in your mind, he's in your thoughts.
• 4:34
  He's in everything you do. You let that sink in.
• 4:38
  You'll be careful. That's the thing, right?
• 4:40
  Choice. You have a choice, all right.
• 4:42
  The child's classic song. Our sham is here.
• 4:44
  Our sham is there. Our sham is truly everywhere.
• 4:46
  Is 1,000,000% true. Way beyond that.
• 4:50
  Everywhere, everywhere. Everywhere to an extreme.
• 4:52
  If that's the case, I have to be best the Kevon, She's very low.
• 4:57
  Once you recognize she'll be called Malcolm Shahuk.
• 5:01
  Wherever I may be, who will mail the finesh I'm standing right in
• 5:06
  front of. God doesn't make stupid
• 5:08
  divisions by sitting in front of watching something.
• 5:10
  I'm listening to something, I'm alone.
• 5:12
  Azmira. Based on that, naturally he's
• 5:19
  automatically going to have fear of trepidation.
• 5:22
  Penny Kashilbir Masa maybe I'm going to make a mistake.
• 5:26
  Shiloh, you cut a wheel of feed it on with Commodore.
• 5:28
  I'm going to do something that's unfit for the elevated state and
• 5:32
  the exalted state that God's in. How can I talk that way right in
• 5:37
  front of God? How can I yell in front of
• 5:40
  Hashem? I would never do that right.
• 5:42
  How can I say something wrong? How can I think something wrong?
• 5:46
  How can I do the eat the wrong thing?
• 5:48
  I'm sitting in front of God. That has to become our norm.
• 5:53
  If it does, and it takes a little time to get there.
• 5:54
  Now, the reason we don't see that is because we have a life
• 5:59
  that's very mundane and mundane and God seems to be a
• 6:03
  contradiction. The mistake is it that's not
• 6:06
  true. It may be.
• 6:07
  It may seem mundane because it's very physical.
• 6:09
  It's based on regular interactions and regular
• 6:12
  conversation and regular visits and regular work, regular drive
• 6:16
  and regular watching. All that's correct.
• 6:18
  But in all that mundane exists, God and all those areas, there's
• 6:23
  a place to recognize God is here.
• 6:25
  He's looking at me, He's involved, He's watching me, He's
• 6:28
  talking to me. If that is my frame of mind, I
• 6:32
  can switch everything from mundane to elevator.
• 6:36
  And I need to see my goal. My goal is to become the
• 6:40
  greatest person I can be. One of the main ways you can do
• 6:43
  so is by purifying everything you do.
• 6:47
  How do you purify? Well, you can start from within,
• 6:49
  That's great. But you can also start from
• 6:51
  without, from out. Which means if I am fully aware
• 6:56
  that God is involved in everything going on in my life
• 6:58
  and it's difficult to do something, if I'm fully aware of
• 7:02
  God's involvement, then I will be forced to cleanse and clean
• 7:07
  up my ACT. How could I talk the way in
• 7:08
  front of God? How could I think the way in
• 7:10
  front of God? That is the exalted state.
• 7:13
  Now again, you need to turn and translate all the mundane into
• 7:19
  meaningful. It's work that's worth Huma
• 7:22
  shamu da mala mala as a mission of what it says.
• 7:27
  Know what's above you. I in the ah and I they conceive
• 7:31
  or is it shamat and hear they can hear.
• 7:33
  In other words, God, the call maseka maseka baseka.
• 7:38
  All your actions are being documented in the book.
• 7:41
  This is something that's one of the more biggest eye openers man
• 7:45
  can have the belief that every single move I make becomes
• 7:50
  Edison stone stays is is recorded is there you know we're
• 7:55
  around David enough to know this is a reality, right, But the
• 7:59
  truth is the truth is is that if this was your mindset, you know,
• 8:03
  you look around and you walk on the streets.
• 8:05
  Everything's recorded nowadays we get cold all the time.
• 8:09
  Someone asking the shoe for the video cameras, because this is
• 8:12
  hit and that was hit and this app, everything's recorded,
• 8:15
  right? And that makes you and I act
• 8:17
  differently in the street today than it would have 10 years ago.
• 8:19
  Well, take that and multiply that by 1000 times.
• 8:23
  Every single thing is recorded. And because of that, you can be
• 8:27
  more careful. That should be the minds, the
• 8:29
  whole massif, all your actions, Parsef and mirktavim are
• 8:34
  documented into a book. This is based on the thing that
• 8:43
  something called Hashem's recognition, Hashem's awareness,
• 8:48
  everything going on, Muroy alcohol, Hashemi alcohol.
• 8:53
  God, could he see everything, hear everything, Vada, it's
• 8:58
  definitely shuko amma azimi you or simosha.
• 9:01
  Every action that we're doing are creating an impact.
• 9:05
  The Kulang Nerdavim Pacific in this route, in the Khova,
• 9:11
  everything is being documented in the book.
• 9:13
  Can we absorb that concept? Do we observe that concept?
• 9:17
  Well, I think if we really did, we would be very careful what we
• 9:20
  said, right? Literally.
• 9:23
  Since the class has gotten recorded.
• 9:26
  I'll be honest with you, since the class has gotten recorded, I
• 9:29
  have been more careful what I say.
• 9:31
  I'm not recorded just the way it is.
• 9:33
  Sometimes it can throw me off even, but no matter what, it
• 9:37
  makes you more careful, and that's part of fear as well.
• 9:39
  Fear of God can't throw you off. Also can make you be careful
• 9:43
  what you say and therefore not be so loose.
• 9:46
  Fine, over time you'll adapt and you won't adapt to ignore God.
• 9:51
  You'll adapt to be more careful, be automatically more prepared,
• 9:55
  and be automatically more cleansing your language and your
• 9:57
  thoughts and your actions and everything you do.
• 10:00
  The only reason why we don't do this is because we are naturally
• 10:04
  push Hashem out of our lives because we can't handle.
• 10:09
  I can't imagine everything I'm going to say.
• 10:11
  God's going to macromanage. It's hard to do.
• 10:15
  You know what? Keep your head in a book all day
• 10:16
  long and not take it out. Fine.
• 10:18
  But the truth is, whether you admit it or not, it's the case.
• 10:21
  That's the reality. That's why it's also the word.
• 10:24
  That's it. It's amidim, it's true.
• 10:26
  So whether we admit it or not, it's there.
• 10:28
  If it's there, we have two choices.
• 10:30
  Either we could be like the child who does this, right?
• 10:33
  You know, the kid just needs a visual on the recording.
• 10:36
  He puts his hands in front of his eyes and he says you can't
• 10:39
  see me. Well, you can't see the kid, but
• 10:42
  the kid, the other people can see you.
• 10:43
  You're just fooling yourself young man.
• 10:45
  The same thing can be true with us.
• 10:48
  We can imagine in front of our eyes that God can't see us, but
• 10:51
  the reality is he counts. So you got 2 choices, either if
• 10:55
  he had in the sand, you ignore God and you keep going on your
• 10:59
  merry way waiting for sadly the final day we're there, it's all
• 11:03
  going to be unveiled. Or you can be honest with
• 11:07
  yourself. At first it's uncomfortable, but
• 11:10
  after a minute or two, it's cleansing, it's clarifying, it's
• 11:15
  koshering, it's enabling you to become a better person.
• 11:19
  It's pushing you to be stronger and clearer and more on your
• 11:22
  game and more of a good person. And, and eventually, it's not
• 11:27
  like you're wearing a straitjacket.
• 11:29
  It's rather like you feel literally empowered to be a
• 11:34
  better person. It's this.
• 11:35
  I mean, to you, this truth doesn't make life more
• 11:38
  difficult. It just makes life more
• 11:41
  efficient. That's the beauty of this.
• 11:43
  If you would tell an outsider, go tell a goy.
• 11:46
  Every single action that you do is being recorded.
• 11:49
  Every move you make, it's impossible.
• 11:51
  They feel frozen and you tell us that every action that we're
• 11:55
  doing, that God is watching every action.
• 11:58
  Initially, if I look at that, I'm very uncomfortable.
• 12:01
  After a minute, I'm very empowered because I empowered to
• 12:05
  do more good, to be a better person, to be more of an
• 12:08
  effective person. The beauty of the realization of
• 12:11
  this concept is that now if everything is being recorded and
• 12:14
  everything matters, that everything should be better and
• 12:18
  it's going to automatically make me to a better person.
• 12:21
  It pushes you down the right Rd. the same way anything in life.
• 12:25
  Once you're forced into it, you do a much better job.
• 12:27
  Right before being a parent, eh? Now you're a parent.
• 12:31
  You got to before being a husband, eh?
• 12:34
  Now your husband, you put your whole heart into it before
• 12:37
  working, OK, I waste my time. Now that every minute counts,
• 12:41
  you put more effort into it. The same thing is true as me,
• 12:44
  but it's constant. Being a Jew before the
• 12:46
  realization of God involved. OK, I say what I want.
• 12:49
  I think what I want. I do what I want.
• 12:51
  Now that it's true, I have no choice.
• 12:53
  And then I step up to the plate and do my best.
• 12:56
  That's the reality. That's Part 1.
• 12:59
  All right. Oh, Nam, He says.
• 13:06
  The reality is people do not imagine this so simply.
• 13:11
  Ella aide Hathma. Dat haid born Anoop.
• 13:16
  This takes a steady imagination by Sahu Takadol, constantly
• 13:21
  focusing on his point Ki Kevan chadava rahuk, mehuk, semen and
• 13:26
  hucheno. This is very different distance
• 13:29
  from our mind to believe that God is right here.
• 13:32
  It's just Lloyd said. Enwar segre telahar Rove ium
• 13:37
  vahashkafar. It takes a lot of analyzation
• 13:41
  and a lot of thought. And this is the question, can we
• 13:45
  get to the point that we firmly believe God is here?
• 13:48
  Do we get to that point if we do or in a great state, You don't
• 13:51
  realize it. You're in a great state
• 13:52
  automatically. If you don't, you're in a
• 13:55
  difficult state. That's the question.
• 13:56
  Can we get there? And if you don't, you're just
• 13:58
  ignoring the truth. And if you do, you're empowered,
• 14:05
  right? That vision is very necessary.
• 14:07
  OK. And this is the point that he
• 14:09
  says this is the point that a person has to live with one more
• 14:12
  line or two and then we'll get to the next point tomorrow.
• 14:15
  The God my heart, she is Sereno. And even after we do get to this
• 14:20
  point, we can easily ignore it. Yes, sure, that's your menu, but
• 14:25
  not kill Emily at meet Allahabad.
• 14:28
  We automatically ignore this point unless we keep this on our
• 14:32
  mind constantly. My birthday and that's on the
• 14:35
  date my birthday is coming up and usually around my birthday,
• 14:40
  I get a little uncomfortable. Tell your truth.
• 14:42
  I get a little uncomfortable because I look back at the year,
• 14:46
  you know, I know you can be very nice small that I look back at
• 14:49
  the year and I find areas that could have been better.
• 14:54
  That's the way it is be older this and it makes me a little
• 14:57
  uncomfortable, especially because I'm coming closer to a
• 14:59
  larger number that's even more uncomfortable.
• 15:02
  That's the way it is all right, I understand, I understand, but
• 15:05
  I got it. But the point is for you know,
• 15:09
  whatever it is, that's just the way it is.
• 15:11
  So during this time, I push myself, I try to change things,
• 15:16
  I try to develop all that stuff, but then what happens?
• 15:19
  Time comes, time passes, and then what comes out, Maybe I
• 15:24
  switch a drop and then I default back into my original way.
• 15:28
  Our job, we imagine this point is to envision God involved
• 15:33
  everything and to keep that steady.
• 15:36
  Don't allow it to come and go, rather allow it to remain the
• 15:39
  same. I keep that vision.
• 15:42
  How do you keep that vision? One of the best ways is to watch
• 15:45
  the news and to realize how everything is on camera.
• 15:49
  If everything's on camera and we're also on camera, smile.
• 15:52
  You're on camera. You know that you're on camera
• 15:54
  too. And if you keep that in mind,
• 15:57
  you're being recorded, you're being watched, you're being
• 16:00
  everything. Maybe a much better mistake.
• 16:02
  We'll stop like this.
