- 0:02Shit. Number 56.
- 0:05Yesterday, we looked at honoring Tara, honoring Torah Scholars,
- 0:09hit included. In this quality of being a
- 0:12hostage, being a saint, is honoring, the basic analysis, a
- 0:16show and the Basshunter Josh, it's not enough, that one does
- 0:20not conduct himself, frivolously in them, but you must observe in
- 0:23them. All forms of honor and fear in
- 0:25all of his ways and actions taking care.
- 0:28Not to do anything. In that space.
- 0:30You wouldn't do in the Palace of a great king and therein lies a
- 0:34huge. Challenge.
- 0:35Because We've really, really got to be a person who understands
- 0:41and feels and nose and experiences that you are
- 0:44standing in the presence of God, when you are in short, as
- 0:47opposed to just being in a room where you happen to Davin as a
- 0:51congregation to Hashem. And I think that is a challenge
- 0:55that requires a lot of thought, a lot of effort to actually do
- 0:59that. It's not enough to say, do I
- 1:00know. I'm in shock as you know, you're
- 1:01unsure, very lovely. But how does that mean in the
- 1:03presence of God? How do you act differently?
- 1:05How would you behave? How would you walk out you?
- 1:08Or not talk, everything about conduct would be different, but
- 1:12it's very difficult habit. We sit and generally our entire
- 1:17demeanor, you shall not speak of the love of Hashem, and it's
- 1:21three branches. Joy communion de vacas and Kina
- 1:27being passionately, passionately.
- 1:29Jealous for Hashem in a positive way.
- 1:31We'll see. So V.
- 1:33Nei Indian Harvey, who she? Yeah, I'll do a check on Miss
- 1:37other mama. So curiosity is born.
- 1:39Love of Hashem. Consists in a person's Desiring
- 1:44and actually lusting for The Nearness of Hashem and pursuing
- 1:47his Holiness as one pursues anything, with which you truly
- 1:51desire. The challenge here would be that
- 1:55you would appear to be a mashugana if that's how you
- 1:58actually lift. You have to be in a community or
- 2:01it is around people who understand that.
- 2:04Okay, we can all think what it is to desire, or want to
- 2:07something and our behavior. And sometimes we make jokes and
- 2:11we talked about someone who's love sick or someone that's
- 2:13desires is that they're going out of their mind, that is
- 2:16pretty much how we have to behave with a sham.
- 2:19This love extends, so far, as to call them, in mentioning of
- 2:22hashem's name and saying his praises.
- 2:26The person to just have total delight and pleasure.
- 2:32The same way you would scoop up a child or grandchild and swing
- 2:36them in your arms and feel that you're on the top of the world.
- 2:39That's the type of relationship that it's someone who is a
- 2:42closet in this sense. Not the guy with the clothes and
- 2:45the furry hat, but someone that's got this quality of
- 2:47saintliness is trying to achieve.
- 2:51There is no question that one who truly loves, how should the
- 2:53Creator will not leave off serving him for any reason
- 2:58whatsoever. Unless, of course, you're
- 2:59actually forced to do so. And that he will leave no
- 3:02motivation. Nothing no inducements nothing
- 3:05but his heart will elevate a motivated person to do, what is
- 3:09correct? This is the exceedingly
- 3:13desirable quality, which the early saints were privileged to
- 3:17attained. As it says in the book of
- 3:19Tell'em, can IL Taro garfi came home as a heart yearns for the
- 3:26water Brooks. So does my soul.
- 3:29Yeah, few King. Know if she saw a rogue alaka
- 3:33elokim, or someone actually letter came and thirsting for
- 3:36Russian to kill Christ. The Living God mostly avoid the
- 3:39era when will I can't win, but I see it that sense of Yearning
- 3:42and Desiring and looking out on wanting.
- 3:45It's not the type of behavior we have.
- 3:48When we're anticipating the arrival of somebody, we care
- 3:50about someone, we want to spend time with always looking
- 3:54anxiety, anxiousness in a positive way, not to the point
- 3:56of know, Problem, anticipation, and excitement, and drive, and
- 4:03the person that we had a relationship with a shown that
- 4:05was like that, it will be very, very different.
- 4:10All this derives from the strength of his longing, for
- 4:13Hashem. These feelings that David Haddix
- 4:15foxbat into Helen. Add the navi cells assume Khalid
- 4:19zeerak our table has nothing to your name.
- 4:22And to remembrance is the last of the Soul, David says in this
- 4:27article yet. So, I bash morose are Gabba.
- 4:32I long for you in the evening long as my spirit is within me,
- 4:36I will seek you that type of Desire of Yearning.
- 4:40Again, this is very different from.
- 4:41Are you doing stuff on? You performing Deeds, all that
- 4:44part of it, of course. But where does the emotion,
- 4:47where does the yearning, the longing come from?
- 4:49When we're just focused upon other.
- 4:51People seeing me acting from this, yearning is an internal,
- 4:55you can't perceive it. That's why it's so very
- 4:58difficult. Have a wonderful day.
