- 0:02The Garden of knowledge. Shit, number 29, So we continue
- 0:07this morning to make sense of the creation of mankind and
- 0:11deeper understanding, what it's all about.
- 0:15So we missed yesterday, get back and have a listen, anyone who
- 0:18thinks that the fulfilling lives obligations by doing mitzvahed
- 0:24will make, you know, oh no effort at all to overcome
- 0:27animalistic urges and tendencies is mistaken.
- 0:29It's not just a tick box exercise to possibly end of the
- 0:35end of the game. There's We have to achieve.
- 0:38Plus they can look observant mechanically, perform the
- 0:40Mitzvahs but without refined personal conduct you basically a
- 0:47wild animal. The terror warns us that a
- 0:51person might even have a rabbi like most she robbed a new and
- 0:54see Miracles with his own eyes. But it's possible to go through
- 1:00all of that and like we're going to read in the next few weeks.
- 1:04In the hole in the cetera, you could start worshiping the
- 1:06golden cuff very easily. It's no guarantee that just
- 1:10because most you are being as you're ever, you heard Hashem
- 1:13directly. If the inside is rotten,
- 1:16eventually that will have an effect on everything you try to
- 1:19do. Throughout my teachers, that a
- 1:21human being was always for Hashem.
- 1:23Both behind the closed doors. And in public, like the same dog
- 1:26in the morning, the whole Army Rodham, should always be an odd
- 1:29on the person because you were, what else could you be?
- 1:32We could be an animal besito of our goalie, then your private.
- 1:36And when you are in public, in the teaching, there are the
- 1:40rabbi's in the sitter's hinting at the fact that before we can
- 1:44even think of getting home, fear of Hashem and relationship with
- 1:48Hashem. We first got to be a human
- 1:49being. What does that really mean?
- 1:52Human is someone who is kind and compassionate.
- 1:54Humble. Has a Mona.
- 1:58This is the person who is fulfilling his role in
- 2:00partnership with us. Remember, we're called upon to
- 2:03be partners with Hashem Hashem partners with mankind.
- 2:06Not with a robot. That's really an animal or a
- 2:10person doing certain Deeds, but hasn't refined themselves.
- 2:14If we can refine ourselves than we are for partner with Hashem
- 2:18Hashem. Lets her therefore, says NASA
- 2:20Autumn let us make money. You and I together.
- 2:23She'll is telling us, you do your job and I'll do mine.
- 2:27And this is the best partnership in life.
- 2:30Says Rabbi nachman of breslev that the only way to maintain a
- 2:33good partnership with Hashem to speak to him every day.
- 2:38He therefore, instructions to devote webinar means idea an
- 2:42hour a day to personal prayer. Well, I meant to shower in the
- 2:46most, the most intimate thoughts and deliberations with.
- 2:48I should know that sounds like a huge task to those who are
- 2:52uninitiated. It must be possible.
- 2:58Maybe we can start with one minute a day to minutes a day.
- 3:03See how it works. So drop Shalimar, Irish his
- 3:11teachings. We're following here from his
- 3:13own experience of having tried this for over 30 years.
- 3:18It says here the main thing is not to be impatient or impetus
- 3:22impetuous. Sorry.
- 3:23Not to expect instant results. An important principle in
- 3:27personal prayer is to concentrate on one goal.
- 3:31At a time, someone who try to accomplish too much at once.
- 3:35Loses focus and Effectiveness. So therefore preferable to
- 3:37Dublin regarding In one area of self-improvement until you see
- 3:41the results and the improved Behavior, then becomes second
- 3:45nature. Why would you do?
- 3:47This question has invited us to become his partner and there is
- 3:51no greater part of the time. Other than Hashem that can only
- 3:55take place when we are human, not animal and the partnership
- 3:59will be strong. We love speak to Hashem in our
- 4:02own words every single day. So go and try it.
- 4:06Have a great day.
