0:43And a few days ago, his father died. If it were me, and my pet died, I don't think I would be able to cope. When my pet passed away, I was actually able to give a lecture. But when it comes to a family member, friend, or another beloved human being, I would be devastated. What does my dear friend do in his moment of grief? He writes, "We have experienced another loss." He informs others about the loss that has occurred within the family. With profound faith, he says, "Hashem, I know this is good for me, and that's why I love you."
1:43He said, "Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." And at the beginning of that Tehillim, he says, "Hashem, You are my Shepherd." It's a very famous Tehillim, Psalm 23. It's a very famous Tehillim, but most people have no idea what it means. I saw it today. So, something unbelievable: David HaMelech says, "Hashem, You are my Shepherd," which means he's saying, "I'm the sheep, just a little sheep." Now I know that even if I go through the valley of the shadow of death, if I experience nightmares such as my mother dying, my brother dying, my father dying—Hashem yirachem—disaster after disaster.
2:43David HaMelech is saying, this rod, when you hit me, it gives me comfort. Because I know it's really the shevet. The rod that's hitting me, the pain, the anguish, the suffering, I know that really is just trying to direct me in the right direction. Because I'm a sheep and I don't know where to go. I'm confused whether it's the sun or it's a reflection. I'm confused whether it's a quarter or it's a planet. I'm confused whether it's a sin or it's a mitzvah. I'm confused whether it's from Hashem or the Satan. I'm confused. I don't know. I don't know. So, I know when there's pain, I know it's from You, and it gives me comfort. When I have pain, I say, why? I know it's from You. I know You're not gonna do anything against me for no reason. There has to be a reason. There has to be a reason. In my opinion, very few people, and no one that I've met other than him and maybe a handful of other people, not only understood that lofty concept but could articulate it. To say "I love You, Hashem" after you just lost your father gives me hope that maybe one day we can reach such a level.
