How Do We Show HaShem We Love Him?

1:38Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem, Hashem. That has a few things to say. Sometimes they're funny. Whatever it is, the point is you're going to learn what Hashem said. Even when it's hard to hear, because it's against your logic, your desire, and everything you want. But it's true. A woman sent me a letter today; I've been in contact with her for a few years, Baruch Hashem.

2:39And she said she had a rabbi for 43 years, and during those 43 years, she remained secular. However, at some point, she began listening to my shiurim and Rav Mizrachi's shiurim. She mentioned, "Wow, these people are tough; the message is tough." But then, it started making sense. If I continued listening and I knew or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah... Some people find the truth but they throw it in the garbage. It's too tough for this guy. It's like I created the halacha. No, it's too harsh. It's too scary. Yes, the truth is very scary. When somebody tells you, "Buddy, you have cancer," that's scary, but it's true. It's better to know the truth so maybe you can cure it than to live a lie.

4:05The truth is scary, regardless of what aspect of life it is. The truth is very scary, but it's necessary. It's true that somebody who commits murder receives the death penalty. It's true. Not just a civil law. If you get really angry and decide to run over somebody just because they cut you off, it's true. They are most likely to give you a death penalty. If it's done purposely and premeditatedly, in the first degree, it's most likely a death penalty. It's true. It's scary too. But it's helpful information. Why? Because it makes you think twice before you do it. It's true that somebody who commits murder receives the death penalty. It's not just a civil law; it's more profound than that. If you get really angry and decide to run over someone just because they cut you off, there's a strong likelihood you'll face the death penalty—especially if it’s premeditated and considered first-degree murder. This is indeed a scary thought. However, it's also helpful information. Why? Because now you need to think twice before acting on such impulses. The next time somebody cuts you off—because it's eventually going to happen, somebody's going to cut you off—and you really want to ram into them, it's like, you know, you feel like they deserve it. It's like, wait a minute, I don't want that. I don't want to go to jail. I don't want that. I don't want the consequence. So that scary knowledge, that scary bit of information, is very valuable. But this is just for this short life that we live here.

5:12What about eternity? That's what we discuss here. The traffic laws and the laws of the Supreme Court of America and all these other countries, okay, that's in this world. A person can spend time in jail, a person can be homeless, a person can go through all types of suffering, but still, nonetheless, it's just this life. How long is someone going to live? 70, 80, 100 years? How long are you going to live? You can't live forever. It's temporary. It's temporary. But still, we're scared of it, and we say, if somebody tells us, "Listen, don't go over there." Why? It's dangerous. I appreciate it. It's scary what you said, that it's dangerous over there. Scary what's going on over there. Why are you scaring me? Oh, because you care. Because you don't want me to fall. Fine. Thank you. And that's just for you, thanking somebody for giving you information to save you what? A few more minutes in this world? A few more years, maybe? HaTorah menasa lada'at lecha de'ot she'ulay yitkabel lecha bakhaverim. HaTorah menasa lada'at lecha bakhaverim, chaverim ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay. HaKhevra ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay ulay.

6:38Ein ein ein ein ein ein ein ein ein ein ein. Rabbi Rabbi Meir Ba'al HaNes, Elisha HaAher, he was a tanna. Tanna, what is a tanna? A tanna is, what is a tanna? A tanna, he sees something, he says, no, I love it, he will pass and pass, that is a tanna. That is a tanna. Already in Masechet Avodah Zarah it says, the students of Rabbi, Rabbi HaKadosh, who were holy, very very holy, with all their hearts, they could refine the heart. Antoninus, Antoninus, she'ata yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav, yamav.

8:05Hundreds and hundreds of years. They didn't suffer for just one year. So, rabotai, it's important to know what eternity means. Eternity means that the advice the Torah is giving us, whether it's coming from my mouth or anybody else's, if it's true and it's scary, it's good. Why? It's going to protect your eternity. So somebody who is looking to serve Hashem and love Hashem is going to accept the truth regardless of where it's coming from and regardless of how scary it is. The reality is that the more true something is, the more scary it is.
