  God, no knowledge, shit. Number 13.
• 0:05
  We know we're told in the mission that we have to go find
• 0:08
  our spiritual guide, our Rabbi that will that will guide us.
• 0:12
  Now, that's not just true of us, ordinary simple people.
• 0:16
  Even Terror of Scholars it inside the you Kim, after submit
• 0:20
  to a spiritual guide throughout Jewish history.
• 0:22
  Great truth Seekers tirelessly, sought a true person who would
• 0:28
  uplift them and get them close to Hashem.
• 0:31
  Now this is where it gets a bit tricky.
• 0:33
  We've been arming teachers us at the further away a person is
• 0:36
  from Hashem, the greater the spiritual guide you must search
• 0:39
  for person. Shouldn't say, I'll make do with
• 0:42
  anyone on a higher level than me and it comes to the body.
• 0:45
  Will look for the best. Doctors didn't just pull up with
• 0:48
  whoever it's actually probably a Jewish thing to keep searching
• 0:51
  to the great specialist. Now that's true about body
• 0:54
  surely. That's true of our soul as well,
• 0:57
  that we deserve the best doctor. Anyone who takes a good honest
• 1:01
  look at himself or herself will realize that he simply can't
• 1:04
  overcome the bad habits things. Our trip us up all the time, get
• 1:09
  in the way of our ability to learn or to Darvin by ourselves.
• 1:13
  As much. As we'd like to, we can't lift
• 1:15
  30, tons of Boulders on our own with heavy machinery.
• 1:21
  We can lift anything move mountains at Ruth's addict and
• 1:25
  spiritual guide is the exact spiritual heavy machinery.
• 1:28
  That we need to clear a path in our lives.
• 1:30
  Many people say, what do I need a spiritual life?
• 1:32
  I belong to a group many group members think that the group has
• 1:36
  a monopoly on the truth. They no longer search.
• 1:39
  For spiritual guidance, social pressure plays a big role.
• 1:42
  Also in restraining a group member from searching for
• 1:45
  genuine spiritual guide. They just stuck within the group
• 1:48
  and fill their have to tag along.
• 1:53
  God forbid, when things go wrong, they can fall so far
• 1:57
  back. Once things begin to crumble,
• 2:04
  they just don't know what to do. The genuine truth that never
• 2:08
  changes is the truth of the Torah passed down from
• 2:12
  generation to generation and Taro is called light.
• 2:17
  He now Mitzvah but Tara are Mitzvah is a lantern.
• 2:20
  The Torah is light. Sudhir Kumar called light, those
• 2:28
  who submit themselves to truths a deacon.
• 2:32
  We'll have liked which ultimately illuminates, their
• 2:35
  soul. And our chairman says, in the
• 2:37
  creation story, let there be a firmament in the midst of the
• 2:42
  water. It should separate between water
• 2:44
  and water, and I share made that firmament and separated through
• 2:48
  the water that were below in the waters, which were above That's
• 2:52
  why I'm sorry. It was an ocean cool that firm
• 2:55
  and show my moment show my own advice.
• 2:57
  He ever. He booked a, you have shiny the
• 3:00
  second day. There's our tells us that
• 3:04
  nothing has shown created was for, it was for nothing.
• 3:08
  That's it was redundant. He knew that if the Waters of
• 3:11
  Gahanna mixed with the war other waters, it would be a disaster.
• 3:16
  So he established a firmament that would separate between the
• 3:20
  two different types of water between the harmful water, and
• 3:23
  the good water hashem's, creation of good water.
• 3:26
  And harmful water is for the purpose of free choice.
• 3:28
  Water here is a matter for the gemara in several places.
• 3:32
  It says that the good water is the water of tariff.
• 3:35
  Chapter 124 to helium Kingdom, King, David refers to the
• 3:38
  harmful Waters of the flood which would be nachman says is
• 3:42
  the flood of heresy, which threatens the world and this
• 3:46
  period, right? Before the coming of the
• 3:47
  Messiah, false ideology is corrupt ideology.
• 3:51
  I think we are definitely living in a Time such as this I shed
• 3:56
  makes differentiations and creation to no water in the
• 4:00
  Water and Light, and the dark between sea and the land between
• 4:04
  good and evil. There are borders all the time
• 4:06
  that contrast is always there and our job.
• 4:10
  It's to figure out those contrasts.
• 4:14
  To differentiate between aspects of Our Lives, that will be
• 4:18
  conducive to Amarillo and those which are detrimental as entire
• 4:22
  commands, us to differentiate between the holy and the mundane
• 4:26
  and between the pure and the impure.
• 4:29
  A person has created with to inherit inclinations.
• 4:31
  One for good and one for evil. They struggle constantly, which
• 4:36
  makes you normally makes you alive.
• 4:38
  They weren't struggling. You wouldn't be here.
• 4:41
  The question is, which of them do we give preference to in
• 4:44
  order to reinforce the good? We must learn about the forces
• 4:48
  that are active within us, which we will do those wrapped Hashem
• 4:51
  in the days ahead. Have a good day, take care.
