- 0:01The Garden of knowledge shit. Number 12, This final share of
- 0:05the week is really fundamental. We said this week that it's
- 0:09really hard to distinguish between light and dark but it's
- 0:12great scale. Take, it's complicated.
- 0:15So the obvious question that emerges is simple.
- 0:17One simple question of why doesn't Hashem give us the power
- 0:21to differentiate between good and evil?
- 0:23Wouldn't that be so much easier? You created chaos here.
- 0:26We get it light came before dark for the dark difficult, Parts,
- 0:28come for the easy Parts, but there is this mixture God.
- 0:31Separated, why do we find it so hard to separate?
- 0:34If we would see that the truly righteous are healthy wealthy,
- 0:37and contended, and the wicked people live in bitter.
- 0:39Miserable lives. It would be obvious to do the
- 0:41good. We wouldn't have free choice.
- 0:44There would be no contact reward and Punishment.
- 0:48But maybe it'll be nice to do the right thing.
- 0:51Or maybe. Having the ability to make a
- 0:55choice is so much more important.
- 0:59That's really the bottom line here in order to enable free
- 1:02choice, good and evil. Have to be mixed.
- 1:05Wherever there's free choice that also, the church, the
- 1:07chance to confuse between the good and the evil.
- 1:10It's just that's just the way it has to be.
- 1:12You can't have one without the other.
- 1:16We can Now understand what brush.
- 1:17You said earlier that Hashem set aside, the light of good for the
- 1:21benefit of the righteous only the righteous Wrath.
- 1:23Recognize that light of Hashem, that's concealed within the
- 1:26Torah, since they resemble their creator, they to know how to
- 1:31differentiate between the light in the dark.
- 1:33They've got that ability so that the more similar we are too
- 1:37harsh and them all. We emulate the shame.
- 1:38The more we able to make that distinction between the light
- 1:41and the dark. Such people exercise their power
- 1:46of free choice by devoting themselves to seeking the light.
- 1:51And here's the real bit from of Shalimar Irish.
- 1:54And after years of arduous effort have succeeded, there are
- 1:59no shortcuts in this game. Others, however, have not made
- 2:03such efforts are dwelling in chaos.
- 2:06They must now make their own free choice, which can go wrong.
- 2:11The old adages adage says that you can't judge a book by it's
- 2:14cover. That's so true.
- 2:16A person's outer trappings are not necessarily indications of
- 2:19his inner Dimensions, maybe his dress like a religious person
- 2:23and looks the part, but a long black coat, not a guarantee of
- 2:27Integrity, of purity of heart close, do influence us, but it's
- 2:32personally dresses, the part without making the effort, then
- 2:35it's just a Costume a person who lacks the understanding of what
- 2:39he's doing on Earth will make mistakes.
- 2:43That's why he must always seek. Hashem's help with finding the
- 2:45right path. That we have two dozen.
- 2:51And we have to request help. Please Hashem, help me, Teach Me
- 2:56Your Truth. The basic principle of life that
- 3:01we learn from Ruby now. Commence to anyone who fails to
- 3:03spend a daily, our in Syria, self-assessment, will make
- 3:06mistakes or lead other people astray doesn't matter who you
- 3:10are. How many Rabbi qualifications
- 3:12you have what? Level of scholar you are.
- 3:15Remember the great you are the greater the it's a horror to the
- 3:17challenge is just greater for the Frog greatest leaders that
- 3:20challenges in measurable. Far slower ones are challenges
- 3:25with relatively make challenging for us, on a scale of you.
- 3:28If we could stand out of this world.
- 3:30And look at ourselves will be like, you pathetic.
- 3:32There's barely a challenger, why don't we get it right even more
- 3:36with out daily. Self-assessment, such a person
- 3:39would identify, the shortcomings were.
- 3:40Know what mistakes are made. He might look at himself, was of
- 3:43his most sure? I mean, with such fantasy, is a
- 3:46person is liable to fall to the lowest depths The mall.
- 3:52We want to get it right? And the more we time we set
- 3:55aside, the more likely we are to achieve within a 20 G's in the
- 3:59first chapter of look at him around that.
- 4:01Often times a person, considers himself to be a worthy leader
- 4:05considered himself to be concerned with other people's
- 4:08lives and Welfare. But really, though it's only
- 4:10concerned with his own self-aggrandizement.
- 4:17I personally like a faucet or a Pious Jew B trampled on Jewish
- 4:20values. And ignore what I've shown
- 4:22really wants. Person must beseech Hashem,
- 4:27chapter 25, posit five of the hilum.
- 4:29Lead Me In Your Truth and teach me asking how sham show us how
- 4:33to correct our character, how to overcome our desires and not to
- 4:36be misled. We just with a fantasy photo
- 4:39picture image of ourselves in our mind without seeking out
- 4:42gems guidance every single day or by choosing a spiritual
- 4:45guide. Who also fails to seek Hashem is
- 4:48guidance daily. Then you're going to be going in
- 4:50the wrong direction. The objective of the terrorists
- 4:53to bring a person to humility sees how others are better than
- 4:56him. So what mr.
- 4:58Boehner, reach of the end of the Torah to do.
- 5:00So, a person must be in constant contact with Hashem as King.
- 5:04David says, in chapter 16, I have set shown before me.
- 5:07Always only in this way. Can we achieve have a very
- 5:10lovely day?
