0:52They must get to a point where they're literally thinking about Torah 24 hours a day. Not because they're constantly coming up with, nu, chiddushim, oh, you know what? Maybe the Tosafot meant this. But Rashi said something, no, no, you don't need to do that. That's good too. But that's not what we mean. What we mean by using the Torah as an instruction set, is asking yourself, what does God say about what I'm about to do? What is the opinion of the Torah on what I want to do? I want to make a deal with this customer, and this customer seems foolish, and I could take advantage of him. What does the Torah think about that? Oh, the Torah doesn't view that favorably. So, I'm not going to do it. I'm not going to do it. אם פרסון חושב על התורה, הוא לא יעשה את זה. למה? כי הוא יודע שהתורה אומרת משהו על אלה. הרב חיים פלאג'י, עליו השלום, חושב שאולי יעשו את הגויים, לא את היהודים. את היהודים אנחנו כבר יודעים מהו, ואיך הוא חושב. פרסון שעושה את הדברים בלי להתרחק מהמעטה, צריך ללכת בגלגול.
2:06He cannot go to Gan Eden, even if he receives all the Torah. He cannot go to Gan Eden, if he receives Joe. But what if he receives a goy? He can't receive a goy? Goyim, there are many, there are 400 million of them in America. Their specialty, you can try to receive them. No? Are you trying? Oh, he is not Joe. Rav Avraham Palaggi says, if you receive a goy, you are going out of your way unnecessarily. In this life, you're guaranteed to lose all your money, and in addition to the shame, there will be all types of pain and suffering that will happen afterward. But the point is that there's no permission. Now, if a person did not ask the Torah, "What do you think about me stealing from this guy?" most likely, he stole. I've dealt with a lot of business people in my life, from all types of contractors. I am sorry, but I can't help with that request.
3:16that I have found a single person, a single one, I'm not even exaggerating, one person I can tell you, him, I vouch for him, he's honest, in business, he's honest. This guy, you give him a million-dollar deal, he'll do the whole thing. Many people are nice. Many people say nice things. But when it comes to money, in this generation, Hashem yerachem. Many people will begin to inherently understand stealing as okay and as an ayz... If you're not cheating the system, you're not going to make it. You have to steal and cheat in order to get ahead. Now, I'm only going to do this one time, this one deal. I'm going to do this one time with this one customer or this one government deal that really, I'm not giving them anything. Or I'm selling the government that doesn't check anything a screw for $85,000. A screw that costs 3 cents. I'm going to sell it to them for $85,000. Since they don't pay attention, he'll even use a model and tell you, "No, if they're going to make some mistake, I don't have to pay them back."
4:19You have to steal, you have to cheat in order to get ahead. Now I'm only going to do this one time, this one deal. I'm going to do this one time with this one customer or this one government deal that really I'm not giving them anything. Or I'm selling the government that doesn't check anything a screw for $85,000—a screw that costs 3 cents. I'm going to sell it to them for $85,000. Since they don't pay attention, you'll even use a model and tell yourself, no, if they're going to make some mistake, I don't have to pay them back. הם אולי יודעים כל פרטים מהתורה, אבל למה זה מגיע לסטייל? זה לא מגיע לסטייל. זה נקרא "naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". "Naval birshut haTorah". That you can do in this world, there's an opinion about it. There's an opinion about it in the Torah. And if you're not asking yourself, what is the Torah's opinion about this? Then you have not arrived at the Torah yet. You have not arrived at a point where you understand that the Torah is the instruction set.
