Transcript
1:48Bilam is called the person with only one eye. Why is he called the person with one eye? Because he really only had one eye; the other eye was just a hole. And that eye, since there was no eye there, it's the only part of his body that didn't sin. And that's how he would receive prophecy. The rest of his body sinned. But back to the kisei hakavod and what Hashem gave the Satan. Each time Chazal says that each time we make a sin, we create a demon, creating someone that's going to try to influence us to make more sins. Each time we make a mitzvah, we create an angel that's going to help us make more mitzvot. So it pays to make more mitzvot, and that's actually the root of where they say mitzvah goreret mitzvah, ve'averah goreret averah, one mitzvah leads to another mitzvah, and one aveirah, one sin, leads to another sin. This is why sometimes you see somebody who is a frum, frum person, everything is great, he wears the hat, he has the beard, he has this, he has that, next thing you know he's in a casino.
2:50Wow, what are you doing? Yesterday you were leading the tefillah. You were a chazan, you were a baal koreh, you were a tzaddik, you had kids, you had this. What happened today? First time you ever went to a casino, all of a sudden you have a casino, now you have a girlfriend. What happened? The mitzvah goreret mitzvah, aveirah goreret aveirah. He started one sin, he thought it's a little small. He started a small, tiny little sin. But the little sin created an influence for someone to make another sin. Another sin, another sin, and someone loses control, Hashem yerachem. Gehenom is not too far. This is something we must remind ourselves of every day. I know it’s a harsh truth for some of you who have never heard my lectures, but this is reality. If we don't speak reality, we're never going to do teshuva. And whether you were frum from birth or did teshuva at some point during your life, you have to realize that you have to do teshuva every day. Every day, you have to work on something. There's no such thing as someone who doesn't commit a sin. Everyone commits some sins. Now, the Satan, for most of the work... He has shlichim, he has employees, which we create, in essence. We create as employees. So, most of the time he doesn't have to do anything, he just watches. Once in a while, he gets off the chair himself. Once in a while, he gets off the Kisei HaKavod. When does that happen? When something big is going to happen. When a lot of his employees are about to quit.
4:14When one of his people is helping others do teshuva, or perhaps a tzadik is performing mitzvot, or is refraining from aveirot, and is about to start doing many more mitzvot, the satan does not like it and starts getting in the way. This is especially true when it comes to kiruv. So what does that have to do with today? I knew that today's lecture was going to be interesting because on the way here, I got into a car accident. Baruch Hashem. So I know that the satan is interested in this lecture.
