Rabbi Moshe Haber Path of the Just-Above and Beyond: The Love-Driven Path to God's Will 9.2.25 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

  Hasidou literally sounds like a bar, a park.
• 0:04
  It sounds like people look at Hasidim and look a certain way.
• 0:08
  And really the core of it is a whole concept, and the concept
• 0:12
  is unrelated to them specifically and applies to
• 0:15
  every person coming above and beyond.
• 0:18
  So now do you know what's considered above and beyond?
• 0:22
  Doing things, Doing the toilet because you like to?
• 0:24
  How does it work? So the basic mindset is follows,
• 0:28
  he says, any good friend, any husband or wife, any parents or
• 0:32
  child, child to a parent, when there's love, they try to do
• 0:37
  more. They try to think in the back of
• 0:38
  the head what does so and so want before they even ask.
• 0:42
  I want to get it for them before they mention it.
• 0:44
  I want to compensate a birthday present.
• 0:47
  And you're trying to think in advance what's going to be the I
• 0:49
  am going to, that's going to, you know, do the trick and hit
• 0:53
  the spot. It's all about the feeling of
• 0:55
  love. So how do you apply that mindset
• 0:57
  to Hashem? Transfer over to Hashem and tell
• 1:01
  yourself over your history, over your experience, you have a
• 1:04
  sense of God wants. You know what Hashem wants of
• 1:07
  you. You know you could, and you know
• 1:09
  what you can do to make a difference in Hashem's world.
• 1:13
  And if you're a Hashidut be doing things in a strong way,
• 1:17
  you're going to emphasize and spend more time and do more of
• 1:21
  those things, whatever they may be, even though they're not
• 1:24
  required of you. You already did your minimum.
• 1:27
  This is a bug. And still you're being a hassid.
• 1:30
  That's what a Hassid is. Let's see the words.
• 1:39
  This is something we see at all times between people who love
• 1:43
  each other and friends, husband and wife, father and son.
• 1:56
  All people have honest, real love, which means not love,
• 2:00
  pretty against something else. And I love because I'm trying to
• 2:03
  impress them or trying to make them like me.
• 2:06
  I simply like them. I want them to be happy.
• 2:08
  But that's that's real love. And that's the kind that brings
• 2:13
  out this sort of motivation to find ways to make them happy
• 2:17
  because I really want to. And that's going to create in my
• 2:19
  mind creativity to come up with different ways and to come up
• 2:23
  our ideas never would ever came up with because I want them to
• 2:26
  be happy and that is love and that is something that one can
• 2:29
  do for Hashem. Now you think these I don't know
• 2:31
  what God likes. The reality is you do you sense
• 2:35
  it you felt when you did something good.
• 2:38
  You know what you're good at. You know what you like that
• 2:40
  connects to Hashem. You know those things, whether
• 2:43
  it be you can get to Phila your learning, your kind words, your
• 2:48
  encouragement, your charity, whatever is you know your things
• 2:52
  and doing more of those is based on being a hasit.
• 2:57
  All right. The person won't simply say I
• 3:01
  wasn't commanded to do more. I'm doing exactly what I was
• 3:03
  told daily. It's enough.
• 3:05
  If I do the if I do always commanded Ella, I'm going to do
• 3:12
  what I have to do. No, I'm going to do much more.
• 3:18
  Vishna de la solo mashuhala Dun shi'ola nakhat.
• 3:23
  I'm going to do more to make God proud, make my parents proud, to
• 3:27
  make God proud. Vinay come across.
• 3:33
  This happens to the person who loves his Creator.
• 3:36
  Come get Ava in a minute. Honest true love.
• 3:40
  This is a kind of love. Viti en la mitzvot ashetsuyam
• 3:47
  galui, I'm over some legal dot Levant.
• 3:54
  OK? To this person the mitzvah means
• 3:57
  commandment. What is commanded me do it, you
• 4:01
  must do it. You're obligated to do it.
• 4:04
  To this guy, that's not a mitzvah.
• 4:06
  Hasid says. Yes, I have an obligation.
• 4:09
  Yes, I have a commandment. But really that reflects what
• 4:12
  God wants. I really know Hashim wants for
• 4:15
  me, and the whole world of commandments and fear and
• 4:18
  obligations is replaced by a world of love and doing God's
• 4:23
  will and making him proud. It's the same God and it's the
• 4:27
  same's without, but the same. It's what?
• 4:28
  But I read into them a sense of making him proud.
• 4:33
  I learned from his mitzvot what he wants of me.
• 4:36
  I'm not so focused on the word obligation.
• 4:40
  I'm rather much more busy with the idea of making him happy,
• 4:45
  being motivated to do above the obligation.
• 4:48
  So I hear the obligation, but I hear more Hashem says to me,
• 4:51
  give charity. That's not what I hear.
• 4:53
  I hear take care of his poor people.
• 4:55
  God tells me learn to the it's not like OK, check the box of
• 5:00
  study a certain amount. I hear read God's word, connect,
• 5:05
  get more into land, get, get smarter in God's way.
• 5:08
  Everything that I'm told, I don't take it as a directive.
• 5:12
  I rather take it as an indication when God really wants
• 5:14
  and everything is like that. I don't just go to pray because
• 5:17
  I have to, I rather go to pray because I went to Hashem.
• 5:20
  I love to do it. All these things are taken out
• 5:23
  of the same bits foot. So you can have 613 obligations
• 5:27
  or you can have 613 indications of God's will total of animal
• 5:32
  total of the world. And that's when a person's a
• 5:35
  Hasid, he's doing the latter instead of the former.
• 5:38
  He's doing much what? But he's not doing as
• 5:41
  directives. He's doing as God's will.
• 5:44
  Gratitude and you have to appreciate what Hashem does.
• 5:47
  For you. Thank him every day.
• 5:49
  And he's using that as motivation to miss what he's
• 5:52
  doing. This is a form of love.
• 5:55
  That's all a matter of knowing what Hashem wants.
• 6:08
  If God's will, if you have to put down what does it something
• 6:12
  like, you know, if you have to, I have to ask you what your wife
• 6:15
  likes. You know when I which likes
• 6:17
  doesn't like, right? If I had to ask you what Hashem
• 6:20
  likes, you don't just say he likes this.
• 6:24
  He doesn't like that because they meet.
• 6:26
  This is not that mitzvah. I know from the whole story and
• 6:30
  the mitzvah that I have in the whole picture indicating I know
• 6:34
  what God likes. Honesty, I can imagine that's
• 6:36
  his type. I know he likes kindness.
• 6:39
  I know he likes Torah. I think that I get the sense
• 6:42
  what he likes and I do more of those based on that indication.
• 6:46
  And this person will not state daily.
• 6:52
  It's simply enough for me. Hashem tells me directly or if
• 6:58
  Torah, it's me. You know what, I can get myself
• 7:01
  out of things. Loopholes.
• 7:03
  I'll do the bakes Basics, The Martian Muta or I I call Panim
• 7:07
  by just simply checking the box and doing what I'm obligated to
• 7:11
  do. That's all.
• 7:12
  That's not love. No, that's force.
• 7:16
  Somebody needs help offers. Don't wait for them to ask you
• 7:19
  if that's true. Exactly you're martyr you say as
• 7:22
  follows Kevin once I realize God's will, ye Lily and I'm that
• 7:31
  is going to going to be for me a direction of how I should
• 7:36
  emphasize and where I should place the importance of my life
• 7:39
  that both Bazehai Yan Ular hi Otto to spend my work in that
• 7:46
  area of God's will behalas the deems Yohala doing in all the
• 7:51
  different manners of strengthening that way.
• 7:53
  So it's annoyed, but I have it for the things I shall want.
• 8:00
  We have a term so and so makes God happy.
• 8:03
  The words are or say nahhat through ah, he creates, he
• 8:09
  brings satisfaction to our sin. So satisfaction does not just
• 8:12
  mean feeling our sins will. It means making him happy has a
• 8:16
  different idea. That's pride, Nahhat, a good
• 8:20
  feeling for God. And that good feeling, so to
• 8:22
  speak, comes from us understanding God's will not
• 8:27
  only fulfilling his misfought rather than fulfilling his wolf.
• 8:30
  And those are two different things.
• 8:32
  That's what he's telling you. It's a, it turns out Klava
• 8:36
  Hasidut havat kyun khalam. It's what the whole lot's the
• 8:40
  deemed at the name. Shall we live?
• 8:42
  Shah. Shah Hasid is someone who
• 8:44
  expands his level of performing. That's what he doesn't just
• 8:48
  perform. It's what he expands it.
• 8:50
  And they're inside there. Yeah, in the hardware.
• 8:54
  And you'll see. Shah Hasidut.
• 8:56
  May me not please. Shoot.
• 8:58
  It turns out to be a Hasid actually is someone very similar
• 9:04
  to the guy who avoids sin. See my guy, same guy who's
• 9:08
  figuring out how to do a lot of its foot.
• 9:10
  It's similar to the guy who's very careful from sin.
• 9:12
  In other words, the guy has an understanding.
• 9:14
  He has a sense of God's will to avoid and what to do.
• 9:18
  More of that he should is to avoid sin.
• 9:21
  Hasid is the opposite of that. Do Mormons foot?
• 9:25
  But they're both families of doing more based on Valdo.
• 9:29
  That's the key and I shall be shoot Malavin the has did basin
• 9:34
  approach to someone to avoid sin.
• 9:36
  Hassid is someone who's the same family to do more than it As for
• 9:45
  you rather to do or use sense as God's will above the obligation.
• 9:57
  Zeoge da Hasid amiti matar naber khalakab a regime and you're
• 10:02
  going to see over time that there are many different
• 10:05
  examples of what a Hasid is, but this is the idea.
• 10:08
  The idea is a person wants to be on the highest levels.
• 10:11
  You want to be on the highest levels.
• 10:13
  Try to think in your mind, what am I good at?
• 10:16
  What is God like of me? What do I feel like?
• 10:18
  God feels happy when I do it and do more of it, emphasize it and
• 10:22
  expand it. Not just the obligations, not
• 10:26
  only checking the box even more. And this person is on the
• 10:29
  highest field and the highest level and it does more of this.
• 10:33
  All right, stop Bass, go to take a Mets.
