Rabbi Moshe Haber Path of the Just - The Gift of Awareness: Humility in an Unpredictable World 4.27.26 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:00
  471 we began this idea of last week, which is something about
• 0:06
  life keeps people humble, and that is the unpredictability
• 0:11
  that life brings upon us makes us humble.
• 0:14
  I have no no one has any idea what tomorrow's going to bring
• 0:17
  no one has any idea what next week, next month.
• 0:20
  I should you and Yan Hiluf to daughter's man drove tomorrow to
• 0:25
  him. When someone focuses on the
• 0:28
  aspect of how much time changes and things switch and life
• 0:34
  continues as goes moving Kiyashir Kaliyotani.
• 0:38
  Sadly, the wealthy can easily become the opposite the how
• 0:42
  Moshe Levitt and a ruler can become a servant, the Mukhabad
• 0:47
  Li Nikle, an honorable person. See, this person can become a
• 0:52
  nothing. And you see this you saying, and
• 0:56
  when you analyze, it's enough. It makes every one of us much
• 0:59
  more humble because I'm never going to get so carried away
• 1:02
  with my current position or my current status.
• 1:05
  Where does arrogance come from? Someone's looking at the
• 1:07
  immediate and right now they're rolling.
• 1:09
  That creates arrogance. But then they start looking at
• 1:11
  the border picture and recognizing that things can
• 1:13
  change in an instant and they have that level of awareness.
• 1:17
  And the truth of the matter is that's the number one item for
• 1:20
  someone to be humble. Humility does not require being
• 1:23
  very deep in your mind and being very having much imagination.
• 1:27
  It just regards being having self-awareness, being aware it's
• 1:31
  really what's going on creates humility.
• 1:33
  Then we are whole cocache al nicolae, la SUV al masaf and
• 1:38
  azeb en avayo. If someone realizes that it's so
• 1:42
  easy. It's so possible for an
• 1:45
  individual to go from prestige to the opposite in a minute.
• 1:51
  How is he going to have arrogance?
• 1:54
  He has no confidence, he has no sense of security that his
• 1:59
  situation will remain the same, so how would he be arrogant?
• 2:04
  Hass Shalom? How many potential things people
• 2:08
  can deal with illness wise will turn into a begging position?
• 2:16
  Let me share. Azuroto Hashem to help him, the
• 2:21
  achilla mixat or doctors, different people to help him.
• 2:25
  How easily is it possible for a person to be turned into a
• 2:28
  position that he's so dependent? It's so sad to say this, but
• 2:30
  it's reality. Kamat Sadat hazah Shalom.
• 2:33
  You look at a person, I'll give you a classic example.
• 2:35
  He notices on someone. A regular person is a beautiful
• 2:38
  family. Everything's going for them.
• 2:40
  They have money, they have the homes, they have the prestige,
• 2:44
  they have health and everything. And then what happens?
• 2:47
  This is a very common thing. They have a daughter who's 22
• 2:49
  years old, very common. All of a sudden now in that
• 2:54
  area, they become dependent. They start to ask, maybe they
• 2:58
  have to move into a begging state.
• 3:00
  And all of a sudden it was not, it was still single, their
• 3:02
  daughter. And now they have those
• 3:03
  unchanged who they are. And it's and you watch him.
• 3:05
  I had someone I dealt with last week that was in this position.
• 3:08
  And I said to myself, I said, I don't understand that they're,
• 3:10
  they're regular fine people. Everything's going for them and
• 3:13
  it's challenge. And they told me when someone's
• 3:16
  in this position, they really said the mothers at least can
• 3:19
  function and it's very hard for them.
• 3:20
  So that's an example of how a person can realize in an instant
• 3:25
  or in one element of life, they can be changed into people who
• 3:29
  feel very confident that these are rolling for them and also
• 3:33
  can at the same time turn into dependent people and therefore
• 3:38
  humble people. That's what I was telling you,
• 3:42
  right? Someone could be in a situation
• 3:46
  there has to go ask people right A Shamas, I mean Latin lamb
• 3:50
  Shalom and the money a little more shame.
• 3:52
  He needs people has to beg people for help, but all people
• 3:56
  have to go to nurses and doctors who they don't really care for
• 3:59
  too much. They need to beg of their
• 4:01
  assistance right, But I'll be with my name Ella and these
• 4:05
  situations we see bandito divarion be or more.
• 4:08
  It's so common, It's shocking. Kadahim is therefore enough the
• 4:13
  Hassid and mele by Adam to remove from a person's heart
• 4:17
  God. I thought his arrogance would
• 4:20
  all be sure on evolving flute and he'll replace it with real
• 4:25
  level humility. Give his people's situations
• 4:28
  change and incense. Ask any procedures person whom
• 4:31
  you know lost their money and now they carry themselves very
• 4:35
  differently. Ask any, you know, politician
• 4:40
  who fell into a scandal and now they're ashamed to walk into the
• 4:43
  street. Ask these world rulers.
• 4:46
  I mean, you calculate over the last 20 years how many world
• 4:52
  rulers who were in a lifetime position who are now either in
• 4:56
  jail, no longer with us, or worse, right?
• 5:00
  You guys are the worst. Let's go through.
• 5:02
  Let's go through the 2 seconds. Go through all the heads of
• 5:05
  terrorist organizations, right? All the heads, all the big
• 5:09
  names, pretty much, they go. They're all gone.
• 5:12
  All right. I shouldn't say all their names.
• 5:15
  Every guy, Bin Laden, the Ayatollah, Bin Laden, go, go.
• 5:19
  The names of the last three years.
• 5:21
  Bin Laden, Ayatollah, go through.
• 5:24
  Nasrallah, go through. Sinwar, go through.
• 5:28
  I keep going. Gaddafi, Arafat, right.
• 5:32
  Saddam Hussein, right. Bin Laden, you said bin Laden.
• 5:36
  Every one of these big names and they're all gone.
• 5:40
  Don't you think that would tell the next guy?
• 5:42
  Don't be so proud of yourself and don't you so arrogant,
• 5:45
  right? And by the way, man, and you
• 5:47
  know where they're headed. Ain't that pretty down there?
• 5:50
  So it's not really working out for them.
• 5:52
  So now you tell yourself the arrogance, DP Makari is a joke.
• 5:56
  Now you go to forget terrorists. I get to have a devil crazy
• 5:59
  hand. Look at the good people.
• 6:00
  And you go with the world rulers.
• 6:01
  Break up world rulers, right? The guy from England, I look at
• 6:06
  the exactly look at who also have former presidents who have
• 6:11
  been ashamed. You look at you can mention
• 6:13
  these, you'll go mention these today.
• 6:16
  So many different people, not community people, so many people
• 6:18
  like that who have been ashamed, who have fallen out of their
• 6:22
  position, who really cannot even they get no honor at all, right?
• 6:26
  And it's unbelievable. And all you want to do is tell
• 6:28
  them and shake them while they're in the honorable
• 6:30
  position and tell them don't be so arrogant.
• 6:33
  And you know, you go even further.
• 6:34
  Even people that we like them too, they're prone of being shot
• 6:39
  many, many times as we're seeing, right?
• 6:41
  So they too should also be humbled.
• 6:44
  And this for people is meant to tell you from one day to the
• 6:48
  next, we have no idea all these rulers and all these leaders,
• 6:52
  and then you go to all these wealthy people and all such
• 6:55
  people on it. Literally they have no idea what
• 6:57
  tomorrow's going to bring. If that's the case, arrogance is
• 7:00
  a sketch because arrogance is literally I'm relying on this
• 7:04
  minute tomorrow. I have no clue that's how you
• 7:07
  think. That's how you realize you
• 7:10
  cannot be arrogant because you have feed of the arrogance is
• 7:14
  the situation and your your awareness for your Moody is the
• 7:19
  broader situation. We're all aware if I'm betting,
• 7:22
  man, right? If I check the stats, if I bet
• 7:27
  there's a greater chance of this public person will be shamed
• 7:32
  before it's all said and done, then he will remain in that
• 7:35
  position. So you're literally playing with
• 7:37
  a joke. You're playing with a couple of
• 7:39
  years. If that's the case, there's no
• 7:41
  reason to be arrogant. There's no source of arrogance.
• 7:43
  And what that does is that it's not meant to embarrass people.
• 7:47
  It's meant to take such people and put them in the best
• 7:49
  position they can be in. The best positions that your
• 7:52
  person can be in is is in the likeable position.
• 7:56
  Charming likeable position is applied, is applied when they
• 7:59
  understand that they're lucky to be here, when they carry
• 8:03
  themselves in that way. They go from a joke, an arrogant
• 8:07
  joke to a humble person that you love being around and you're
• 8:10
  very proud of and you want to connect to and you root them on
• 8:14
  and you're behind them and you support them and you encourage
• 8:17
  them. That's what happens when you see
• 8:19
  a leader of any position act in a way that they're aware of
• 8:23
  where they came from, where they're going.
• 8:25
  You see them turn from literally an embarrassment in yours
• 8:29
  because their arrogance is a joke to a wonderful thing to be
• 8:33
  around. They have better kids, they have
• 8:34
  a better marriage, they have a better relationship, they have a
• 8:36
  better leadership, but everything because they're
• 8:38
  aware. Awareness, self-awareness and
• 8:42
  overall awareness is the greatest gift a person can have
• 8:45
  because you're aware, you never get fooled.
• 8:48
  You never sketch yourself, you never try to sketch others, you
• 8:51
  never try to carry yourself in a fake way, right?
• 8:53
  And awareness is basically the equivalent of seeing the truth.
• 8:57
  That's what it is. And when you deal with people
• 9:00
  who are genuine and see the truth, it's easy to be around.
• 9:02
  When you deal with people who have this, they talk slow, they
• 9:06
  have a bravado, they think they're special, They're
• 9:09
  pounding in the chest, whether they say it or not, it's a joke.
• 9:11
  They look at them and after a few minutes you say, how does
• 9:13
  eat? I feel bad for them.
• 9:15
  They need to live up to this image.
• 9:17
  It's such a shame. And the awareness person, with
• 9:20
  the awareness, that person, they're blessed because they
• 9:23
  have it all and they live with you.
• 9:25
  Understand that it's all blessing.
• 9:26
  That's what you want to be, right?
• 9:29
  Of course, she's banned or died dumb.
• 9:32
  When a person realizes on top of the fact that he's recognizes
• 9:37
  that things can change in an instant, no reason to be
• 9:39
  arrogant. And on top of that, he realizes
• 9:41
  that he has a job and a test to serve Hashem.
• 9:44
  But come and reality, no one, none of us are serving Hashem to
• 9:49
  a full extent, but come open to Hashilba and how much he's
• 9:55
  lagging behind in his form of perfect service of Hashem.
• 10:01
  He'll definitely be embarrassed, this person, or at least he'll
• 10:04
  be humble to not be arrogant. He has no way of holding his
• 10:11
  head high says or Jew says I Hashem says these words.
• 10:23
  I have heard the Jewish people which God refers to us as a
• 10:25
  frame moaning and saying after I returned I felt guilty and after
• 10:34
  I realized I I slapped myself saying a person is in virus
• 10:41
  being aware of how far he is behind his full service of
• 10:45
  Hashem. Therefore, person should realize
• 10:48
  this, OK, person should be aware and you should develop the right
• 10:52
  minds. This is the main to me with the
• 10:55
  next team tomorrow. But to me today's theme is an
• 10:58
  unbelievable one. self-awareness.
• 11:01
  Being an aware person is the greatest gift the person can
• 11:04
  have. Because when you talk to them,
• 11:06
  you talk to them. Not talking to a sketch, not
• 11:08
  talking to someone that thinks there's something in one of the
• 11:10
  right. You ever have a friend from high
• 11:12
  school who now became a big shot?
• 11:14
  You have such a friend, God became a big shot.
• 11:17
  He's a wealthy guy, he's doing well.
• 11:19
  And the guy now talks like, oh, when I did this and what way I
• 11:22
  do things and you're like, come on, relax.
• 11:25
  I was with you in class. I know the whole thing.
• 11:28
  I got it, You know, God bless you.
• 11:29
  I'm very happy for you. I'm thrilled.
• 11:31
  I'm not jealous, but relax, right?
• 11:33
  That's different from high school or someone you closer to
• 11:36
  you or someone that you know and they're going with their
• 11:38
  pontificating. You're like, relax.
• 11:41
  And that's because the person lost the gift of awareness.
• 11:44
  It's a great gift to have, and it's a very sad thing to not
• 11:48
  have. That is because you're aware,
• 11:50
  you're real, you're genuine, and you treat me with the right way.
• 11:53
  And he's telling you that's how you want to be.
• 11:57
  The rulers of the world, the wealthy people, the procedure,
• 12:00
  people in the community, the rabbis, the leaders, if they
• 12:04
  carry this golden, if they don't desist, it's just like, can you
• 12:08
  stop me this?
