Rabbi Moshe Haber Path of the Just: Love of Hashem: The Warrior's Path 12.1.25 · Rabbi Moshe Haber - Daily Mussar/Weekly Perasha

• 0:00
  Is they're talking about havat Hashem and the how person
• 0:04
  creates that love and it comes from the recognition that should
• 0:07
  be father and it comes with the idea of gamzurtuva explaining
• 0:11
  that Gamzurtuva can be very big. You know, everything is done is
• 0:15
  for the best, very big mindset. And one of the big I'd say
• 0:20
  things that hold people back from accepting reality comes
• 0:23
  with TVA is looking at other people's lives and seeing other
• 0:26
  people's challenges your own challenges.
• 0:28
  You have a process for other people's get you crazy.
• 0:31
  So and the goal is when you develop about Hashem.
• 0:34
  It's got to be personal. So ignore other people's stories
• 0:37
  for your own life and your own relationship.
• 0:40
  Now he says like this on three 8536 is but there's a stronger
• 0:45
  way to develop about Hashem and that is Ah Balda da me teeth and
• 0:51
  I'm City team. I feel the times in they don't
• 0:54
  need to think that everything Hashem does for the good event,
• 0:56
  just instead they could just erase or rather ignore when it
• 1:02
  comes to this conversation, ignore their own personal
• 1:05
  feelings, situations, things that they're going through to
• 1:09
  relate to the love of Hashem and like cults feel at Tam.
• 1:12
  Rather, they have to be in a state that their entire hope and
• 1:15
  therefore their prayer is the Hadil Kubota Shamit Para is
• 1:20
  destined. Its purpose, its goal is to
• 1:23
  raise Hashem Kabod I can make this is a higher level.
• 1:30
  It's a very high level in fact, and it's a concept that a person
• 1:34
  if they want to have a complete connection to God.
• 1:36
  Their main mindset and theme should be how much kabocha mine
• 1:40
  is existing in my day life is the world Nicole Masjid Kabrui
• 1:46
  Kobe McDonald. Actually, it's A, and every time
• 1:51
  they face a situation which makes them a little more of an,
• 1:54
  of a, a cool, a little more of a, a block each something
• 1:58
  stopping and making life a little more challenging.
• 2:00
  And they have to overcome it. And they mostly bum, they
• 2:03
  strengthen their heart and they review and they strengthen their
• 2:10
  review their own faith. Because if they're a warrior who
• 2:16
  has very strong, you know, warrior skills and say Carlo
• 2:20
  Tami, you're Taylor. It took 4 minutes.
• 2:24
  And his mind today is a warrior is proud when he's chosen for a
• 2:28
  difficult war. He's they call for a new war or
• 2:31
  a new fight and he's the one that they choose because he
• 2:34
  realizes I'm the guy whom they put in the front because I'm the
• 2:37
  person to lead this. At least I'm the person who's
• 2:41
  considered the best and this individual in our situation who
• 2:45
  has Prabra about Hashem, his wiring is instead of seeing
• 2:50
  every challenge and saying it's a challenge, but really it's a
• 2:53
  good thing. Gamzulu Tovah is also good.
• 2:56
  He flips the script and he says this challenge was chosen for me
• 3:01
  because I am God's warrior and I am the person who is tasked and
• 3:05
  bringing out Kapoor Chomaya, Like I said, at a very high
• 3:08
  level, but in a small level, small degree, you can apply it
• 3:12
  as well. You're facing a situation,
• 3:14
  whatever small little annoyance it may be, you say to yourself,
• 3:17
  I was chosen for this moment instead of simply saying this is
• 3:21
  for the best, which is true too. The two layers to the same
• 3:25
  action. There is the ultimate mindset,
• 3:27
  which is this is going to be good for me.
• 3:30
  This is for the best comes to the Tova.
• 3:32
  That's the ultimate picture. That's the outcome.
• 3:35
  But there's also the process itself.
• 3:37
  And the process itself is dealing with the obstacle.
• 3:39
  It is dealing with the moment. And in the moment you can have
• 3:42
  something that's ultimately good, but it currently feels
• 3:44
  bad. How do you have the 2 heads?
• 3:47
  So head #1 is it's going to be good, it's OK, the alcohol will
• 3:50
  be fine, I'm not worried. Head #2 says in the moment I am
• 3:54
  facing a fight, I'm dealing with the struggle, I'm dealing with a
• 3:57
  challenge and on my mindset is God chose me for this moment
• 4:00
  because I am meant to be his warrior bringing out Kabochamaya
• 4:04
  so. What is freedom of choice in all
• 4:06
  this time? So freedom of choice is how you
• 4:08
  deal with this moment. Freedom of choice does not allow
• 4:10
  you to choose what the moments are they're all about.
• 4:14
  They put in a situation how you navigate that maze.
• 4:17
  So you have a maze. Exactly.
• 4:19
  You have life. No one can say because they're
• 4:21
  free. And my choice, I'm giving a
• 4:22
  blank sheet and I choose step by step every situation in life.
• 4:27
  Rather what they're doing is how they react to that situation.
• 4:30
  Which proves to you that the whole concept of the HIRA
• 4:34
  doesn't really mean that every person is the same and every
• 4:37
  person has that choice the same. Every person has the has
• 4:40
  different tasks, but have the choice of how to deal with those
• 4:44
  tests. And now according to his
• 4:45
  mindset, there are two things going on in your mind.
• 4:48
  There's the ultimate picture, which is the reassuring,
• 4:50
  calming, settling mindset. It's all good.
• 4:54
  And then there's the action in the moment, which is I have an
• 4:57
  opportunity to display a couple of let's give a classic example.
• 5:01
  Someone does something wrong to you.
• 5:03
  It's frustrating. So someone just the rabbit, just
• 5:06
  one of the rabbit just told me coming up the elevator before he
• 5:09
  got off the elevator and he went to a a minion factory.
• 5:14
  We'll call on the area, right. And he parked his car and he
• 5:18
  came out here. Just read in Jedidi Jabai
• 5:21
  inside. Yeah.
• 5:23
  You read the laws of the concept that every person faces degrees
• 5:27
  of your shooting. OK, very good.
• 5:34
  All right. He read the degrees of your
• 5:36
  shooting. All right, Step 1.
• 5:39
  So then excuse me for that. Then the person goes, his rabbi
• 5:44
  went outside to see his park car and he sees he had parked around
• 5:48
  the side of the road. Perfect.
• 5:50
  And outside his car there's another car.
• 5:51
  He's completely double blocked, double parked.
• 5:53
  So I'm blocking him in can't move.
• 5:56
  He said I just read those words about you, sweetie.
• 5:59
  OK. There are slight examples of
• 6:00
  pain. He went back inside.
• 6:02
  So we're going to do a can honk like pretty just 9:00 at night.
• 6:05
  It's going to be disturbing for the neighbors.
• 6:07
  Asian people are sitting that way.
• 6:09
  So he went back inside and he went to learn and he said wait
• 6:12
  for the person, don't pray. And he came outside, 15 minutes
• 6:15
  later, the person had moved. All good.
• 6:18
  So that's an approach. David was not happy he was
• 6:21
  teaching. That less hard that says you
• 6:23
  poke like an idiot. All right, that gets anything
• 6:27
  done, but the theme is. The theme is, is that that's a
• 6:37
  concept of a person applying very clearly a recognition.
• 6:42
  I'm in a moment, it's all good. What does this all good mean?
• 6:44
  I might get home 15 minutes later and because of that avoid
• 6:48
  the rush and craziness at home. It's all good might mean shan't
• 6:52
  keep protecting him from we can't play God, God, God keep
• 6:55
  protecting him from some sort of crazy person on the road.
• 6:58
  It's too much early, whatever it may be.
• 6:59
  That's the old good picture. But in the moment, frustrated,
• 7:03
  upset, rush driver, nervous drivers go back, get crazy, all
• 7:08
  those things to that. There's the that.
• 7:13
  Just be the other person you know, you don't play God all
• 7:17
  fronts. You play God to yourself 1st and
• 7:19
  then you let them deal with them God.
• 7:22
  So if I can train them great chainsaw, you can't train them
• 7:26
  right? So now in yourself, in your own
• 7:28
  mind, you got these two fronts and number one, overall picture.
• 7:32
  Overall picture is it's all for the best #2 immediate
• 7:35
  perspective. Immediate perspective is I am
• 7:38
  being tasked with being God's warrior of Kabul Chaman and
• 7:42
  avoiding getting myself be read, avoiding getting crazy, avoiding
• 7:48
  yelling and screaming. He did the right thing.
• 7:50
  That's a combo. And that combo, he's telling
• 7:52
  you, actually feeds into a stronger theme of havat Hashem.
• 7:58
  Somehow the love of God comes to that.
• 8:00
  To love God comes to the mindset that I am constantly being
• 8:04
  tasked to be his warrior. Instead of constantly frustrated
• 8:09
  and constantly upset and constantly blocked and always
• 8:12
  dealing with difficult people, instead I am constantly be
• 8:15
  tasked to be his warrior. And I start to develop a theme
• 8:19
  of me and Hashem. We have our thing going.
• 8:22
  He puts me in his positions. You told us that when you deal
• 8:25
  with people with issues, you never want to bring God into the
• 8:27
  issues, like saying, oh, it's God's given you and it's for the
• 8:30
  good. Like this that people just don't
• 8:32
  accept it. No A. 100% you're right.
• 8:34
  I would never. If a guy comes with a problem I
• 8:37
  never bring in Hashem. It's a cop out in my humble
• 8:40
  opinion. It's not going to address their
• 8:42
  needs. That doesn't mean Hashem does
• 8:44
  play a major role but it's something I think that has to
• 8:48
  come from you which is has to be reflected from yourself.
• 8:54
  If a person is you lay on thick Hashem approach to other people,
• 8:59
  although it is the true approach and the real one.
• 9:02
  If I lay it on thick on top of them, then they just respond by
• 9:05
  saying, OK, so you're just like corner marine, you're making it
• 9:08
  difficult for me and now you're telling me I have to accept it
• 9:10
  too. You're making it even more
• 9:11
  challenging. You know, I can't even express
• 9:12
  my feelings. It's going it's going to
• 9:14
  backlash completely in my humble mind.
• 9:17
  But a person themselves should be led to see Hashem in the
• 9:20
  picture. And in fact, if they don't see
• 9:23
  Hashem in the picture, they end up with more frustration.
• 9:26
  They try to work it through and they try to deal with it and
• 9:29
  they try to cope with it, but then they're having more
• 9:31
  frustration and more anxiety and more craziness.
• 9:33
  Because you need to apply Hasheman to the picture being
• 9:37
  that no matter who you are or what you're playing with,
• 9:39
  there's always going to be an area of a blockage.
• 9:42
  He's telling you over here. I'm sorry you're saying that
• 9:46
  when you do get Hasheman to the picture may be done by yourself
• 9:49
  or from reading books or maybe hearing a class, but not being
• 9:52
  told as we're saying not being told.
• 9:55
  You know it's all God. It is all God, but not being
• 9:58
  told that if you adopt the Hashem perspective unto all
• 10:04
  challenges the lead to great of our Shamim a lot of love of
• 10:08
  Hashem because you'll be able to see yourself always in a very
• 10:13
  much front seat role in life very much big task perspective
• 10:18
  in life. I am being given the job of
• 10:21
  developing honor of Hashem in this world.
• 10:24
  If God wants honour, that's His goal.
• 10:27
  God's goal in this world is honour in question, mine.
• 10:30
  If He wants honour and He's giving me that job of kabocha
• 10:34
  mine, then these frustrations and these difficulties are
• 10:37
  really the strongest sign that Hashem holds me dear and
• 10:42
  considers me important. He gave me the task of doing
• 10:45
  what He considers the most important thing.
• 10:46
  This is completely a big spin on the picture, huh?
• 10:49
  Don't test me, don't test me. But no matter what, you're going
• 10:52
  to deal with frustration, a little challenge here and there,
• 10:55
  a little annoyance, right? It's someone getting nervous.
• 10:58
  You can hear something about someone else, even like someone
• 11:00
  brought up downstairs, something in the news.
• 11:03
  And my comment that such a person is you're allowing
• 11:06
  something that happens in Texas to be on your mind.
• 11:09
  And if you think, oh, the world has gone mad type language,
• 11:12
  that's just because the world has more news to it and you're
• 11:15
  accepting more news. Time to cut out all that
• 11:17
  nonsense to become a happier person.
• 11:19
  But that's a task. If this person is being tested
• 11:22
  with, he's being tested with the news in Texas because he's too
• 11:26
  open to it. Everyone else have tested all
• 11:28
  day long. If you want to be a person about
• 11:31
  Hashem, become a warrior of God. How do you become a warrior of
• 11:36
  God? You recognize the fact that
• 11:38
  every single situation you're seeing, facing, dealing with are
• 11:41
  all Hashem dying. You, you are, in my opinion,
• 11:44
  very fine. You're very significant and
• 11:47
  important. You play a major role in my
• 11:49
  development of this world. That's what he's telling you
• 11:51
  when he puts your frustration. That's the spin over here.
• 11:54
  It's a spin, but it develops a about your mind because you have
• 11:58
  a certain, a have a certain love, certain connection being
• 12:02
  that you feel at all times when things are going good, Hashem is
• 12:06
  good to me. And when things are annoying,
• 12:08
  Hashem has chosen me. If that's what you feel at all
• 12:10
  times, there cannot be a moment that a person has a preach, you
• 12:14
  know about Hashem. And that's the beauty of this
• 12:16
  picture. You're constantly in this
• 12:18
  connection relationship, a guy with his wife.
• 12:21
  It's not that simple. If your wife is good to you,
• 12:24
  nice to you, it's going good, awesome when she's getting on
• 12:27
  your nerves and she's frustrating, man, To tell the
• 12:30
  person that they have I love because of that, it's a joke.
• 12:34
  But to tell the person whose relationship around Hashem he
• 12:37
  has a love because of his challenges, it's only because
• 12:40
  Hashem has a deeper theme of developing.
• 12:44
  If your wife is driving you crazy because she wants to
• 12:46
  become a better person, then it would apply as well and show all
• 12:50
  our wives and everyone's wives are thinking through the scene
• 12:53
  that much. But technically speaking, sham
• 12:57
  is that's what he's doing. He's taking the picture through
• 12:59
  100% and he's getting you to a point.
• 13:03
  By the way, I gave a speech this week which is very pro wife, so
• 13:06
  I'm on the good side right now. Very pro-life and I am in
• 13:09
  general very pro-life. Actually I think all wife jokes
• 13:12
  are a joke because they play a much bigger role than they even
• 13:16
  get credit for. But in this vein, I'll just give
• 13:19
  you a comparison if you would compare it to Hashem.
• 13:22
  Hashem struggle makes it stronger.
• 13:24
  Wife's struggle is annoying. That's the difference.
• 13:25
  What's up with this?
