  SPEAKER_00: Shahre Amru Hiki, Dami Yusurin, like Khazal have said, who what is considered affliction, that it's enough that it atones for a person's sins, could go in Shinepcha, L Khaluko, but I'm not sure.

  SPEAKER_00: Like we've said many times from the Peleoids, whatever it is in your ability to do, do that.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_00: How great is a person's portion, should he endure pain and suffering in order to perform a mitzvah?
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: For sure, he's offering a great atonement.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's just talking about somebody who endures distress and pain in order to be able to fulfill a mitzvah, oh bishvil siyasa, or um, let's say he's distressed as a result of fulfilling the mitzvah.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, shabishvial siyasa pal kherpah sa'dambliyal, or maybe perhaps he's performing a mitzvah, and in the process he's being humiliated by some silly guy.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: And the person's saying, No, this is what I'm doing.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing, and therefore I'm gonna not gonna um respond angrily, even though that's my natural order, and I would think it would be normal to do so.

  SPEAKER_00: Matoev Khalko Manam Gorilla, how amazing is this, that is my menal cobshaw.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: When a person down here um is Mavir Midoisov, so then Hashem acts measure for measure me, Khacham Ishmaila, who is the wise one who will safeguard these practices, the masters of Musr have already written, Shem Yomu Lola Adam, that if they were to say to a person, Hatir Teshimus, do you want your children to die to gain atonement for your sins?
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_00: The man will tremble and exclaim, You Hashem, guard them.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Similarly, should they ask, Do you want that your material possessions will be lost or that your body uh be afflicted with harsh sufferings?
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: To this as well, a person's heart will tremble, and he'll say, Protect me, Hashem.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: And if such is what you would say, meaning you would say all of this, then by your life, with what do you wish for your sins to be atoned?
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_00: Do you not understand that Hashem never overlooks sin, and therefore a person has to be able to take this mindset and live his life accordingly.
