Garden of Knowledge 32 · Rabbi Benjy's Shiur

• 0:01
  Garden of knowledge. Share number 32, we discovered
• 0:06
  last time that incredible measures, that Hashem consulted
• 0:09
  with the angels before creating human beings.
• 0:11
  Thus, suggesting to us very strongly that humility is at the
• 0:15
  very core of how we as people should conduct ourselves.
• 0:18
  But how do we do that? How do we acquire this
• 0:21
  particular trait? So it's quite simply one can
• 0:25
  just think about themselves and how tiny they are compared to
• 0:28
  the ocean and compared to a mountain range compared to the
• 0:31
  whole solar system. That's a galaxies.
• 0:36
  And recognize that we are such a tiny Speck that we can't
• 0:39
  possibly imagine the greatness of Hashem.
• 0:42
  And therefore, pattern must clearly, tell himself.
• 0:44
  I'm only a tiny creation. I am not God.
• 0:47
  Now, that might seem very obvious, but take a look at
• 0:51
  situations in life where someone swoops in, that's a consultant
• 0:55
  on a hospital. Ward and the eight, the nurses
• 0:57
  just scattered to the side. The junior doctor stand there in
• 1:01
  or on the consultant pronounces, whatever it is.
• 1:04
  They feel is wrong or not. Going well with the patient and
• 1:09
  they make these pronouncements as if they are in charge of life
• 1:13
  and death. Well, the CEO of a company that
• 1:16
  can hire and fire at will. So whilst it might be obvious to
• 1:21
  some that we are not God to others.
• 1:23
  They very much think that they are.
• 1:27
  Where does that come from? When it comes from the, it's a
• 1:30
  horror, which took off massively when Adam and Eve did what they
• 1:35
  did. And caused us to field.
• 1:38
  Arrogance caused us. A thing that we could be like
• 1:40
  Hashem. Anytime a person thinks that he
• 1:43
  runs the world. What he is capable of
• 1:45
  exclusively, controlling his own destiny, or for that matter.
• 1:48
  The destiny of others. It's a sign that he is being
• 1:51
  affected by the Venom of the evil and conditions his
• 1:54
  forehead. Since he has forgotten.
• 1:56
  He is powerless without Hashem. Let me just remind everyone that
• 2:01
  three times a day. We say the phrase, Hashem, Safra
• 2:03
  site, if dr. Murphy, I get stale, Osaka shop,
• 2:06
  open my lips, and then, I'd be able to praise you.
• 2:09
  And it was saying that with the movement of concentration and
• 2:12
  not just simply as another sentence that we have to get
• 2:14
  through in the book. Then we are asked to reminding
• 2:17
  ourselves that without the shame, giving us the ability to
• 2:20
  open our mouths. We cannot do so at all, that's
• 2:23
  not just poetic religious. Concepts.
• 2:27
  It's a statement of fact. True.
• 2:30
  Humility is binding once thought speech and deeds for the
• 2:33
  Creator. Knowing that we can't do
• 2:37
  anything without the Creator support.
• 2:39
  Such a person maintains a true connection to Hashem.
• 2:42
  Because through humility, his not even his not separate, from
• 2:45
  my ship, he recognizes, who he is where he's Dazzle,
• 2:48
  ironically, knowing what we are enables us to be closer to our
• 2:53
  shadows when we think we agree to.
• 2:54
  Then we are the greater. We think we are the bigger, the
• 2:57
  Divide between us and her shell. Whereas, when we know who we
• 3:01
  are, we've we are closer to Hashem.
• 3:06
  The rabbi's have told us in the gemara, that everything except
• 3:10
  the fear of Hashem is decided by Hashem, Hashem determines the
• 3:13
  whole thing besides year, I show mine a person can decide our
• 3:17
  shame is God, and therefore submit to him, or you can
• 3:20
  continue to be stubborn and think that he runs the world.
• 3:26
  Says rebbe nachman. That Ramona is the outcome of
• 3:29
  Truth. As soon as a person learns the
• 3:31
  truth, that he is nothing without Hashem Hashem.
• 3:33
  Sustains him every moment of his life, granting him, all his
• 3:36
  talents and aptitudes, then he is capable of learning a mother
• 3:41
  until he learns. This fact on that, even a
• 3:44
  mosquito became before him in the order of creation.
• 3:47
  The person can succumb to Temptations of arrogance into
• 3:49
  the myth that he controls his own destiny.
• 3:52
  Which ultimately push a person away from Amarillo, the
• 3:54
  knowledge of our tininess And our incapacity to do anything at
• 4:00
  all. Without help from Hashem.
• 4:03
  Brings us to Amarillo. Have a good day, take care of
• 4:07
  me.
