- 0:01God's knowledge. She number 58.
- 0:04When Adam used his free choice it really began with an
- 0:08inappropriate. Thought he doesn't follow
- 0:12humility in a manner but he follows arrogance and heresy,
- 0:16Adam finds a difficult and allowing anyone to tell him what
- 0:20to do. He therefore eat from the
- 0:22forbidden fruit with careful observation was he?
- 0:25There is actions, are the results of arrogance.
- 0:27He wants to feel like the master of his own destiny.
- 0:32So, do we? And I always wonder if we were
- 0:35in their stories. How do we know that?
- 0:37We would have chosen any differently.
- 0:39When we when we rushed to condemn Biblical characters, or
- 0:43characters from Jewish history? Who made choices that affected
- 0:46that the history of our people, how do we know that we would
- 0:50have been on The Winning Side? How do we know that we would
- 0:52have done the right thing? We all want to feel that we're
- 0:55in the driving seat. That it's a mother that reminds
- 0:58us that we're not. That's why it's so difficult
- 1:00because we have to relinquish that feeling of being in
- 1:03control. We have to pay attention to the
- 1:09ongoing debate, in our minds and identify which side is the evil.
- 1:12Inclination, And which is the site of Hashem.
- 1:18The good side. Humility animal Noah.
- 1:21This is the core of the thought clarification which is the
- 1:24opposite of instinct. When one does things without
- 1:27premeditation, which seldom leads seldom leads to a
- 1:30desirable outcome because our instincts are going to say, we
- 1:33want to be in charge. We want to know everything, a
- 1:37person's thoughts lead to good or evil, someone who are Customs
- 1:41themselves to thinking, in a humble manner, observing the
- 1:44Providence of Hashem, appreciating lines, blessings
- 1:46rejoicing, when every Mitzvah performant clings to a shaman is
- 1:51bad. after getting rid of the negative thoughts, The Gomorrah
- 1:55calls, the evil, inclination the yeast in the dough for, it can
- 1:59blow any small thought, way out of proportion.
- 2:04For that reason, we must guard against arrogant, thoughts
- 2:06telling ourselves how great we are for the lead to negative
- 2:09Deeds. So what's the alternative?
- 2:12How do we, how do we stop the -? Well, it's quite simple.
- 2:15We have to Dublin to Hashem. Now in our personal space, not
- 2:19if not necessarily in the words of the siddur our own individual
- 2:24conversation to strengthen us with positive desires and
- 2:28thoughts you see we again we sense a few times but it's so
- 2:31fundamental to this this perspective, we asked Russian
- 2:34for so many things but sometimes the basics of just help me out.
- 2:39We forget to do. Maybe not from teachers.
- 2:43That every moment of every day I shown Center person, his or her
- 2:46thoughts, speech, and deeds, Everything comes from a chef, so
- 2:51where's the free? Choice says rubbing up ammo and
- 2:53we can't fully grasp the concept of free choice because this is
- 2:57one of her shems wonders. Because there's nothing small or
- 3:01great. Whatever it is that escapes her
- 3:02shems constant. Watch our free choice comes from
- 3:05the fact that we cannot grasp the magnitude extent extent and
- 3:09depth of Divine Providence. What we do know is that the more
- 3:15a person submits himself to a shimmer realizes that he is
- 3:17nothing without touch em, the more you strengthens.
- 3:19His, I'm gonna the outcome is, that is thought speech, and
- 3:22deeds become much more positive. All beginning with free choice,
- 3:25to submit our shh. And then that has positive
- 3:30impacts. Not only obviously in a
- 3:31relationship with Hashem but relationship with other people
- 3:33as well. The more a person leans towards
- 3:35arrogance, the more, he thought speech and deeds will be
- 3:37negative, but someone is humble and happy with his lat, looking
- 3:42at his own shortcomings, while focusing on the good and other
- 3:44people will invariably make good choices succeed in getting close
- 3:49to Hashem, but also be liked by other people.
- 3:52My friends for now. Have a very lovely day.
