Rabbi Moshe Haber Path of the Just: The Beauty of Fear 5.20.26 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:00
  There's closing out this concept of the beauty of the beauty of
• 0:10
  being afraid, which we never, we never are pro fear.
• 0:13
  But we said there's a concept of having some level of Iraq
• 0:16
  Shamayan and therefore we explain it because basically it
• 0:21
  develops into reflection of the past and awareness of the
• 0:25
  future. So here's an example.
• 0:27
  Abraham, Abraham Maheshi at Salda Azuli bin Akib Lot
• 0:31
  Szevuoto Abraham after he went to save Lot who was taking
• 0:38
  captive I Amit Pahrad, he was afraid after he had a miracle
• 0:42
  vomit shameless akuma savligami. Maybe my actions me, what was
• 0:47
  you afraid of? Maybe my actions are not so
• 0:49
  perfect. Too much the pressures are
• 0:51
  coming from Pasuk Altita. Abraham, don't be afraid.
• 0:55
  ABI Livi Omar and we say Ahmed Pahad for men.
• 0:59
  Ben Kolok sulun Sharagti. I killed a lot of people.
• 1:02
  Maybe I killed in this war to protect lot.
• 1:05
  Maybe a Shamaya bin ahem Sadiq ehad or Yuri Shamayim ehad.
• 1:10
  Maybe I killed 1 Sadiq or one Yuri Shamayim Rahman.
• 1:17
  Oh, don't be afraid. Which means that we're
• 1:19
  reflecting and noticing that every hams me da of being afraid
• 1:23
  is normal. It's actually a good thing
• 1:26
  Ramrou but Tana de bilio altida Abraham and Omim Altida, when we
• 1:30
  say the words don't be afraid, we're not telling him it's not a
• 1:35
  good idea to be fearful is holding me da of being worried
• 1:39
  is not a good thing. We're not saying that.
• 1:40
  We're saying this because we normally do hold of his fear.
• 1:44
  We're just telling him in this scenario, the fear is not really
• 1:48
  warranted because you did everything perfect and Omim
• 1:51
  Altida Ella lamiche Hira shaman lamito.
• 1:54
  We're telling a person who hira shaman who does have overall
• 2:00
  proper guilt, a proper awareness, proper reflection on
• 2:03
  the past and awareness of the future to him.
• 2:06
  We told him in this instance, he didn't do anything wrong.
• 2:08
  There's nothing wrong and your actions, they're perfectly
• 2:11
  clear. But the only reasons break it
• 2:13
  down. The only reason he's being
• 2:16
  informed that your actions are clean, are clear, are free of
• 2:21
  guilt, you do nothing wrong is only because he's a person who's
• 2:25
  your a shamani. He's a person who normally looks
• 2:28
  at every single action and says did I do the right thing?
• 2:30
  Did I not do the right thing? And telling him now that you're
• 2:32
  looking at your past and you're debating, let me tell you he did
• 2:35
  nothing wrong. So because he's looking and
• 2:38
  because he has this whole sort of view and saying did I do the
• 2:42
  right thing or not? Or telling him you're aware
• 2:45
  you're reflecting, you're analyzing everything.
• 2:47
  Answer is you do nothing wrong. And we would not tell the person
• 2:56
  who doesn't care. We would not tell a person who
• 2:58
  never has any guilt. You didn't do anything wrong.
• 3:01
  No, we tell the person who's putting his past through the
• 3:05
  test. We tell him you pass the test
• 3:08
  only because you're aware enough enough and you're reflecting
• 3:11
  enough to debate. Did I do anything?
• 3:13
  Did I not do anything with telling him the outcome was
• 3:15
  proper? You didn't do anything wrong.
• 3:17
  That is a Yiddish Yamahim. Yiddish Yamahim is a person who
• 3:20
  looks at yesterday looks at today, looks at his words that
• 3:23
  he said and says I'm nervous I might have made a mistake and to
• 3:27
  him we tell him you pass the test otherwise you wouldn't tell
• 3:30
  him that he's all to you know Rami teach I'm all love and Lola
• 3:36
  that says Hashem has his world only the only thing God has in
• 3:43
  his world is his storage house, which means the central place
• 3:48
  that Hashem rested Shakina and the central place Hashem looks
• 3:52
  down on this world is the spots where you find you're actually
• 3:56
  my Abraham Avinu classic Yakua Vinu we mentioned yesterday
• 4:01
  Carton Tipua Casadine was afraid to make a mistake.
• 4:04
  Classic exam, a Moshe in a Ardon we mentioned yesterday who were
• 4:08
  nervous when they pour Moshe pour the oil on Ardon to annoy
• 4:12
  them to become cuengado or she was afraid maybe I did the wrong
• 4:16
  thing with oil. Classic example if you're not
• 4:19
  your mind, these and many many others are the classic scenarios
• 4:22
  where Hashem says that's where I place my shahina, that's what I
• 4:27
  have in this world. Let's give you a classic
• 4:29
  questions to ask. We know there's a line and all
• 4:35
  Hashem has in this world is a form any places Torah and then
• 4:42
  you have this line saying all Hashem has in this world is you
• 4:45
  got shaman. How do you explain that?
• 4:48
  What's the answer to this Hashem?
• 4:50
  In other words, this saying this is saying you know, you look at
• 4:52
  the world, you see beautiful streets, you see wonderful
• 4:55
  homes, you see amazing people, you see a lot of action, you see
• 4:59
  all social news, you see billions of people.
• 5:01
  What does Hashem see? The guy who says who has the
• 5:05
  conversation and he's careful not to make a mistake because he
• 5:08
  has you got shaman. The guy who can see something
• 5:11
  inappropriate turns out the way 'cause he has Yurajamayim.
• 5:13
  The person who studies Turah, Hashem doesn't see.
• 5:17
  The millions of people, the billions of people so to speak,
• 5:19
  or Hashem sees, is the person Yurajamayim.
• 5:23
  And the person who has a place of Turah Torah, Hashem sees.
• 5:28
  And the question is still within that contradiction, is
• 5:31
  yurajamayim or is it Turah? Which is is it the person who's
• 5:35
  caught fearing or as a personal place of Tara, which the answer
• 5:40
  is exactly they go both ways. They go hand in hand.
• 5:43
  Tara makes you God fearing and God fearing makes you keep the
• 5:47
  Tara and the words are Oh, Tara shirat your mind, the storage
• 5:51
  house. You got your mind, not the place
• 5:53
  storage house means and a person, as we said yesterday, I
• 6:03
  was in other words, is she Yeah. So you start with you got your
• 6:09
  mind. Exactly.
• 6:11
  You start with you got your mind makes you able to get the tuda.
• 6:15
  Knowing about the tuda gives you got your mind.
• 6:18
  A guy doesn't know anything either way or not do anything.
• 6:21
  A person has tuda saying that a vote and bow your head and bow
• 6:27
  your head very good, very good perfect.
• 6:31
  And boy your head. Someone who doesn't know
• 6:32
  anything doesn't have tuda. A boy is someone know Tuda, he's
• 6:36
  not going to be a shaman, right? Law audits Hassid in the sense
• 6:41
  it's the other way around. Also, someone doesn't have any
• 6:43
  Torah, he's not going to be a pious person.
• 6:45
  Hassid if someone follows him, his foot, you need to go hand in
• 6:48
  hand. Hashem has the perfect places,
• 6:52
  the perfect embassies of Hashem's world.
• 6:55
  Not the humongous buildings, not the huge homes, not the big
• 6:59
  companies, not the long streets, not the shop cars, nothing.
• 7:04
  Not the famous people. 0 Hashem has a small simple guy who
• 7:10
  dedicates himself to tada and his God fearing.
• 7:13
  That's it. The guy who watches what he says
• 7:15
  and what he said. The guy was nervous that I do
• 7:18
  the right thing to not do the right thing, that I get out that
• 7:20
  fear. That's the spot that God rest.
• 7:23
  I know that there was a time. I think it's an interesting
• 7:26
  people. Often people are anti being
• 7:31
  nervous. We don't like guilt anymore.
• 7:32
  We don't like somebody and I once had a conversation with a
• 7:35
  high up there honest to do a therapist and he tells me kind
• 7:41
  of hints to me the fact that sometimes these people are OCD
• 7:46
  when they when they OCD means they're obsessive compulsive
• 7:49
  disorder. They're actually nervous.
• 7:51
  Maybe they're not. So I'm actually nervous.
• 7:53
  OK, and he insinuated he's talking about big people, not
• 7:58
  just he's right. Some people are actually nervous
• 8:01
  when it comes to tsunamis foot. Those nerves might not come from
• 8:03
  Hashem. They might just come from the
• 8:05
  nervous nature. It's true.
• 8:07
  But when he spoke about great people, I told, we discussed and
• 8:10
  my feeling was stop great people.
• 8:12
  I'll give you an example of this famous rabbi named the
• 8:15
  Briskirov. The Briskirov was famous for
• 8:18
  being very, very careful. But every single thing, every
• 8:21
  single action that he did, and he was afraid of what suit that
• 8:24
  he wore because he was afraid he might pull off the threads in
• 8:27
  the suit on Shabbat. OK, And one would say that's
• 8:31
  extra careful or maybe a little bit extra over the top, right?
• 8:36
  The truth is not over the top. It's just endlessly not your
• 8:39
  mind. It's a person who analyzes every
• 8:42
  single action. So he checks his pocket before
• 8:44
  Shabbat. He's not carrying.
• 8:46
  He checks his suit before Shabbat to make sure he's not
• 8:48
  going to pull off the threads. He checks to make sure that he's
• 8:50
  not going to do anything wrong when it comes to cooking on your
• 8:52
  bat and different areas. And also you check to watch what
• 8:56
  words you say and what word you said and what you look at, what
• 8:59
  you don't look at. That's not OCD, It's not your
• 9:02
  mind. It's a very strong version of
• 9:05
  your mind. And I always thought something
• 9:08
  special about this Rabbi is Torah, and that is Torah is
• 9:12
  accepted by all his Torah care, every that he said, every little
• 9:17
  line that he says is learnt and studied.
• 9:20
  Like almost like it's rained hundreds of years ago.
• 9:22
  And my humble appear opinion is maybe his Torah is so well kept
• 9:28
  because his Yashamayim was so strong.
• 9:31
  Hashem finds that these are the spots that Hashem loves.
• 9:35
  Someone who's careful, someone who's even worries, someone
• 9:38
  who's nervous, someone who's on top of it.
• 9:41
  That's the place that's clear or clean and perfectly is a home of
• 9:45
  Hashem. And a person has to realize that
• 9:47
  don't say to yourself, I shouldn't care.
• 9:49
  We don't like worried in our life, we do.
• 9:50
  All right, that's the idea. All right, the chap and we'll
• 9:59
  stop was able to reach his level easily because he was so close
• 10:07
  to Hashem other people life and the physical nature and the
• 10:14
  materialism holds us back from reaching his nature.
• 10:16
  But this is nature you want to read reach unam call Hasid the
• 10:20
  Hasid every pious person that will you want to work hard the
• 10:26
  Hasid try to find a degree of era Hashem.
• 10:37
  Our job is to find ways to input in our life, which means I
• 10:43
  reflect what I did, I'm careful of what I'm going to do.
• 10:46
  I'm guilty on the past, I'm nervous about the future.
• 10:50
  Although we don't like nerves, we do like this because it makes
• 10:53
  us into a cleaner, better, more aware person and more to the OK
• 10:58
  wait, stop it.
