Garden of Knowledge 14 · Rabbi Benjy's Shiur

• 0:01
  Garden of knowledge, share. Number 14, there are times when
• 0:06
  the simple things need to be said.
• 0:09
  So as far as we have to learn from Hashem, when Hashem created
• 0:14
  a separation between Good and Evil.
• 0:18
  It's not just a description of the world instructions for
• 0:21
  living, we too. Must live our lives.
• 0:23
  Where we have those demarcations and we know what's on the side
• 0:27
  of good and what's on the side of evil?
• 0:31
  Otherwise a person is lost in this world, even more stars, a
• 0:35
  person progresses up the spiritual ladder he must learn
• 0:38
  to differentiate between good and better between the holy and
• 0:42
  Holier or in another context. Why do we have to think about
• 0:47
  remind ourselves of the things we've done wrong because when we
• 0:50
  did to Sugar previously, we were on a lower level.
• 0:53
  Now that we've done to shiver and we've elevated ourselves
• 0:56
  spiritually, we now have to do teshuva for the lower level of
• 1:00
  the way we did the sugar. Previously, as we grow, what we
• 1:03
  did before isn't quite enough. And we might all be sensitive to
• 1:09
  what the good is on a higher level.
• 1:11
  So we start off low, and then we have to know what's better and
• 1:15
  then what's the best? The element of Truth gives a
• 1:19
  person. The power to discern between
• 1:21
  good and evil. Spiritual maturity means that a
• 1:25
  person is responsible enough and courageous enough to face the
• 1:29
  truth and act according to it, without deviating to the right
• 1:34
  or left a small child, who look through.
• 1:36
  Lack spiritual maturity is liable.
• 1:38
  To do all sorts of silly or dangerous things.
• 1:42
  Given to every design. Every Drive, eats sweets, all
• 1:45
  day long because he doesn't have the knowledge to understand that
• 1:48
  it's not good for him. Whenever a parent tries to say
• 1:53
  to the kid, hey, this isn't really good for your teeth.
• 1:55
  He doesn't want to listen to The Truth.
• 1:58
  Kid wants what the kid desires, why?
• 2:02
  Because he's naughty kids simply he lacks the spiritual maturity.
• 2:06
  He doesn't want to hear the truth.
• 2:09
  This concept of not wanting to hear.
• 2:10
  The truth is really fundamental. We ask ourselves.
• 2:14
  Are we interested in hearing the truth or do we want to hear
• 2:18
  messages that make us feel good? And help us to maintain his
• 2:23
  illusion that we're doing things, right?
• 2:27
  Someone who makes no effort to discern between good and evil,
• 2:30
  like a child with a mouth full of sweets.
• 2:33
  Just as the sweets will eventually rot the child's
• 2:35
  teeth. The actions of a person who
• 2:38
  lacks that maturity doesn't want to cultivate his soul into
• 2:42
  anything greater will, eventually find that there's a
• 2:45
  cumulative effect. The soul is damaged This is what
• 2:51
  happened to Adam after he transgressed which led to
• 2:54
  hashem's call to him. Where are you Shem?
• 2:58
  Knew where he was. He wanted Adam to realize that
• 3:01
  he was no longer where he ought to be.
• 3:06
  He dropped the problem with dropping spiritually is that
• 3:09
  when will that the person who drops is desensitized to matters
• 3:13
  of spirituality, and consequently, doesn't
• 3:15
  necessarily know that they've dropped the more a person is
• 3:19
  honest with himself. The greater his power to discern
• 3:22
  between good and evil. Person has always faced the
• 3:25
  truth be considered himself. A big sadek already know I'm
• 3:30
  using fooling himself but it in his smugness, he's not going to
• 3:33
  reach out to get help because he thinks his made it all.
• 3:35
  Ready. But a person who is honest with
• 3:38
  himself will more readily turn to Hashem.
• 3:43
  It's easy to say things like Hashem.
• 3:45
  I've got a desire for this. I last for that.
• 3:52
  Help me, help me overcome. I can't do it on my own.
• 3:57
  When we face the truth in avoid selling ourselves fantasies
• 4:00
  Hashem, will always come to our assistance through spiritual
• 4:06
  maturity and governing we can overcome anything. the important
• 4:11
  thing is, to be honest with yourself, Have a good day.
• 4:16
  My friends take.
