  Garden of knowledge, shit. Number 26, So we said yesterday,
• 0:06
  how is it possible for man to have dominion over all the
• 0:08
  animals, especially those that are stronger and swifter than we
• 0:11
  are? Well, the answer is we made in
• 0:14
  the image of Hashem. And this should give us our for
• 0:18
  our sovereignty. Over everyone through the
• 0:22
  upright human the Pinnacle of hashem's creation, all the other
• 0:26
  creations fulfilled, their purpose, after we fulfill hours.
• 0:36
  But when we act like an animal rather than a subdeacon not only
• 0:42
  do, we lose our status and control over all the other
• 0:45
  creatures, but we become scared of them.
• 0:48
  Several of the ten plagues consisted of animals and other
• 0:50
  living creatures, such the plague of the Frog.
• 0:52
  The wild animals, the lice, since the Egyptians were so
• 0:56
  notorious their promiscuity. Their behavior is even worse
• 0:59
  than animals. Now, she wanted to show them
• 1:01
  that the animals are capable of prevailing over them.
• 1:05
  In contrast to the Egyptians, the great side, you can exercise
• 1:08
  total control over the wildest and most fiercest animals.
• 1:12
  In the Tanakh. Daniel, Daniel emerged unscathed
• 1:17
  from a den of hungry and ferocious, Lions Ravens who are
• 1:22
  not normally loving creatures, carried food to eliyahu hanavi,
• 1:26
  David homologous subdued, a bear and a lion on.
• 1:29
  He was young. In more recent times, the king
• 1:36
  of Morocco had the holy arahama College, we're up high, and the
• 1:40
  son of a Taliban attack thrown into a lion's den yet in the
• 1:44
  presence of this whole each other, take the lions purred.
• 1:47
  Like kittens, when we Act of uppercuts are encounter like a
• 1:50
  lion in the desert, the lion carried him and took him back to
• 1:54
  where he needed to go. Back to Tanakh, the shunammite
• 1:59
  woman knew that the prophet Elisha was the truth sadek,
• 2:02
  despite the fact, there were many flies in her area.
• 2:04
  No flies came near his room, Rishi teaches us really that
• 2:11
  it's this man's ability to Prevail over the entire Animal
• 2:14
  Kingdom. He emphasizes that Man's power
• 2:16
  comes from the strong emanation of Divine Light.
• 2:18
  Meaning, if a shot was a pure and holy, and if we're in sync
• 2:21
  with them, we end if you haven't clogged them up with too much
• 2:24
  nonsense. Then that that power that that
• 2:26
  spirituality should shine forth. The person lives a life of
• 2:30
  arrogance. And heresy, then you sink below
• 2:33
  the level of the animals, then the animals are control of you
• 2:36
  man's fewer. Animals are other living things
• 2:38
  as a, reminder that he needs to strengthen his Amana.
• 2:41
  Since the animal kingdom is designed to be subservient to
• 2:44
  us. When it's not.
• 2:48
  Then we've corrupted the Order of Things.
• 2:52
  And the solution lies in our discovering true Emina and
• 2:55
  getting ourselves back to the status that I share intended for
• 2:58
  us to be on when he created the world.
• 3:02
  Salaam baalak teaches that when Hashem is pleased, with a
• 3:04
  person's ways even as his adversary to reconcile with him.
• 3:09
  You want to make peace with such a person.
• 3:13
  Who are these irritants in a person's life?
• 3:16
  It could be bothersome creatures flies, mosquitoes in the persons
• 3:20
  that sadek nothing will disturb them.
• 3:22
  Number one, could they don't deserve to be disturbed because
• 3:24
  of their righteousness, but the animals will somehow be aware of
• 3:28
  the condition of the level of a Jew, the Holiness of a Jew and
• 3:32
  they'll stay away because they know that they're dealing with
• 3:34
  something that is that the higher level than they are.
• 3:39
  The gemara tells us that we can learn from an ant to be
• 3:42
  extremely industrious. It also.
• 3:46
  How many does he study ants? Tell us.
• 3:49
  It will never touch a green kernel that another ant.
• 3:51
  Previously. Took possession of since ads,
• 3:54
  never steal Swindle, the presence of ads in a person's
• 3:57
  domain, could be a sign that he has taken something that doesn't
• 4:00
  belong to me or being shown a creature.
• 4:02
  His very essence is the opposite of the way.
• 4:04
  I put your, you might be behaving, mice.
• 4:07
  On the other hand take, what doesn't belong to them seeing in
• 4:10
  mice. In one's, domain is an
• 4:11
  indication hasn't been careful about giving.
• 4:14
  Enough money to sadaqa. You've taken what doesn't belong
• 4:17
  to you, flies, and mosquitoes are prevalent in unclean,
• 4:20
  habitat their presence indicates, a deficiency and
• 4:23
  personal Holiness. Dogs growl people speak.
• 4:27
  Loshon Hara, one can then courage from a lion persistence
• 4:30
  from a bull dedication from frogs the good more.
• 4:33
  Add that one learns marital Fidelity from pigeons modesty
• 4:36
  for my cat and chivalry from a rooster since every creation is
• 4:41
  a product of the wisdom of Hashem.
• 4:43
  Says, when we knock When we could find Divine wisdom within
• 4:46
  every single creation, we're not going to hold his people's true.
• 4:49
  You are upright, but I wanted to be like the animals who raw in
• 4:52
  the forest all night long. What did he mean?
• 4:54
  He wanted his pupils to spend hours, calling out to a sharing
• 4:57
  personal prayer. Just like a wolf in the woods at
• 5:01
  night. My friends have a great day.
• 5:02
  Take care.
