1:00The beauty is that when I first got this phone, when the first person ever got a smartphone, they didn't really know what to do with it. Why? No one ever had it before. No one ever had a smartphone. No one knew what a smartphone was. So what did Steve Jobs from Apple and the rest of the people who wanted to sell smartphones do? What did they do? They provided an instruction set. Why? They said, listen, here's an instruction set. If you follow these instructions as the instructions are written, you will utilize this phone to its best capabilities. Or you can avoid the instructions and just wing it. Do whatever you want. And the people that winged it, most of the time in the beginning didn't know what to do with it. Why? Because they've never seen this before. The Gemara Masechet Berakhot says: "Barati Yetzer Hara, Barati Torah Tavlin." HaKadosh Baruch Hu says, "I created the Yetzer Hara, that pressure, and I created a potion to counteract that pressure. What is it? It's called the Torah." The Torah is the instruction set to overcome all of the obstacles you can possibly encounter in this world.
2:09Meaning, if you follow the Torah to a tee, life is not only easy, life is fantastic. Life is great. Why? Because even when you have a problem, you know exactly who gave you the problem, and He is giving you the problem for a good reason. Meaning, everybody has problems. All of us have problems. Some have more, some have less. Everybody has problems. Baruch Hashem, HaKadosh Baruch Hu gave me many, many problems in my life so I can have experience and teach you. Now, those problems, Baruch Haba, those problems, everybody has. He has problems also. He just arrived. I have problems. You have problems. Everybody has problems, right? That's life. Now, if you have Torah, you have solutions. You have solutions. How to deal with this problem? If you don't have Torah... You have nothing. You just commiserate. Tell your friends, "Can you believe what happened to me? Can you believe what happened to me? I can't believe what happened to me. Oh, life is terrible." They start making t-shirts that say "Life sucks." They start making, you know, different, you know, bands to make themselves feel good. If you think good, good things will happen. Guess what? That doesn't change anything. Other than the fact that you spent $10 on the band and you're $10 poorer, life doesn't become good because of the band. Why? Because the band is not instructions.
3:28The band is just a band. It's just a piece of plastic, a piece of rubber. This, Rabotai, is the instruction that HaKadosh Baruch Hu gave us on how to overcome all of your problems. From the beginning to the end of your life. From the beginning of the day all the way to the end of the day. If you follow what it says, life is not only beautiful and enjoyable, but even your problems become pleasant. Pleasant. I'm telling you, pleasant. Pleasant, like you actually see beauty in the problem. I know somebody who dealt with a lot of pain in their life, a lot of physical pain. But as soon as they understood who's running the show, every time they had pain, instead of saying, "Ow," like every other normal human being who doesn't have Torah, you know what they say? Baruch Hashem. I have so much pain right now. I feel like jumping off a bridge, but I know it's coming from Hashem, and therefore I'm thanking Hashem for the pain. Why? Because you know who's giving you the problem, and you know that the problem is worth a fortune, a fortune of benefit in the next world.
4:40That problem that you have right now, that suffering you have right now for five minutes, five hours, five days, five months, or five years, is saving you from what could be thousands of years of much, much bigger problems over there. So if you know that a five-day problem that you have is going to save you from 500 years of problems over there, what are you going to say? Can I have another? Can I have another, can I have another five hours? Give me two of them. Why? I don't want to have any problems over there. That's when a person realizes that this life is just a corridor. It's just a hallway to eternity. You live here for 50, 70, 80, 120 years, whatever it is, and then you get to eternity. In comparison to eternity, even 120 years is nothing. So when you realize, okay, so I'm going to suffer here for five hours for my eternity to be beautiful, it's worth it. And that's how Hashem created a Torah that can make life even here enjoyable, even a life that's full of problems. That's why you see many tzaddikim; they had problems too, but they found solutions. Yes.
