  SPEAKER_00: Says the Haliga Pelaya, it's like this.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: Zu mi do rah.

  SPEAKER_00: This desire to feel advantageous, to feel superior to others is a deplorable trait.

• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's not just talking about, it's not just talking about physical sumer bekalko.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: This person, he's not satisfied with his lot.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: He's not sumer bachalko, and therefore he's not in this world.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: These traits, they remove a person from this world.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: He's not even here, he's not present, says the Peliaitz.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_00: Every day of his life, he's in pain.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: He's constantly putting pressure on himself.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's eating him his life away because he can't take it when his friends have blessings or honor, etc.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: It eats at him inside.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: He can't because how come I don't have those things?
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: And for he exerts himself to gain wealth, to attain what he's not meant to have, and he can't attain it.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: So he's on this ever-ending cycle of trying to be someone that he's not.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: This person, he's living a life of pain, Vacharis.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, novel.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: His end will be that of he's not gonna be a happy guy.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: Well, like we said before, Hasameh Bachako doesn't just apply to the realm of Gashmias, but it equally applies to the realm of Ruchni.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: Ya Vid Mitsus May Sumtai Lalos.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_00: One second speech.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: If a person does mitsu and good deeds only in order to promote himself and become better than his friend, Gamza Khalira.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: This is a sickness.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_00: These people are, they're like the Airbrav, Mitachia, Matari, Kusha Khaber, Ilubimalos.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: They become pained when they see their friend ascending upwards.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it's like when you're sitting in a car, um, the car is stopped, and you see a car in your peripherals next to you moving forward.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: Um, can you go give her a Cheerio?
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: Please.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, we're on Cheerio duty.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so what happens when you're in the car and you see a car in your peripherals moving?
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_00: You think that it almost feels like you're going backwards, but that's not how it is in real life.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: You don't go backwards when someone else moves forwards because it's not a competition.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody's in their own playing field.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: Um says the fellow Yaye, it's person who desires that others are less than him with the extent where when he sees someone else falling short in his divine service, Yismach Libu Ashneru Lamilafi Dagbach, he feels he feels a little pleasure.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: Uh the guy's lagging behind, which means now I'm ahead.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: No, he it's all wrong.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's terrible to see it.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: Word like this.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: Um takos khaber mazek sevsmeh l'oy, for if a person is gladdened by the falling of his fellow in matters of um this world, so it says, a person who rejoices in another's misfortune will not be absolved.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: All the more so when a person is angering his creator and he's falling short on his Yiddishkite, and now you're rejoicing at that, so what does that say about you and your relationship with Hashab?
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: Shah's Bayra, it's like he hates his creator, um, and he wishes pain upon him.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: Um terrible thing.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: Because he's possessed by this evil trait, uh, so whenever he hears um other people praising another individual for his wisdom, for his good deeds, etc., it's gonna pain him.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: But when he hears people um that they're degrading someone else, so now you feel great, right?
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: Um it's gonna give you pleasure.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: Other evils come from this um deplorable character trait of needing to be superior to others.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, that concludes today, and Mirzusham tomorrow will continue with this important topic to try to get out of this.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: We want to stay in this world, we don't want to be like CM in Ilam, and therefore we have to work on not um feeling superior to others.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: Mirzushem, and hopefully the Paliodis will give us some insight how to do that.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: All the best.
