gave it to me that all from ashim so what do you think you're better than somebody else with the smart then nimsa comes out hakul shaafal and emacom everything is equal for mashim kibe apo mashpil-geem ubertsunom albiyashiv-alim when he's angry if he wants to he can take the guys the top put him at the bottom but when he wants to he can raise the guy from the bottom up to the top right

yabitu lemata don't stick your head up with his own nose in the sky think you better than everybody else no kam the becha-le-mala rely on hashim the alta beep if they are done with the becha-imo don't stare into the guy's face when you talk with him like you're telling him what to do when you're instructing khol-a-dam yagadon me mecha-be-necha you should treat every other person like they're greater than you imcha kam or ashir hu allecha lecha-be-do if the guy is a smart guy guys a wealthy guy you should give him proper respect right the imra shu if he's poor guy and you look at the guy like he's a hazid case why should i give him kabou he says well you don't really know right if you tell me that the guy looks like uh looks my place uh even ashul a ta ashir right you're a wealthy guy and this guy is coming to ask for a donation hashou bin the becha-kew a ta hazid hazid hazid me mecha why who's a kaime mecha-shim hu hotte who's shouge a ta mizid this guy when he sins maybe he's a hazid the guy's begging he has no time to learn anything he doesn't know anything right he's shougeg when he sins he's on a higher spiritual level than you when you know better and you're doing it amazing you're doing things that you're not supposed to do and you know you're not supposed to do that [speaking in foreign language] one of the hardest things to do in life to think that you're standing in front of ashul every minute wherever you are to think that god is watching you to listen god is listening to you and you know in the earlier generations that when you when we said the you know you learned [speaking in foreign language] right we was the thing like what are you talking about what i think about like 500 years ago that that's a concept that's impossible to understand how could that be somebody on the on you know somewhere that's not good i can't see that's not there i can't hear you can only hear and talk to someone in front of you how could be some power that somewhere else it's very but today it's very simple very simple to understand because the government's listening to us right now they're watching from the sky with satellites they can watch every inch on on on earth from all over the place from anywhere in the world i could talk to somebody else that's somewhere else through my thing it's very easy to understand that that's that that's exactly what's happening right so he's saying you got to realize i'm just watching you every single second you don't think that recorder is watching it's playing they're gonna play your life in front of you when you get up there 220 it's being recorded everything recorded like this class being recorded to by the way anyway so you should says Hashem is in front of you it's all always there [speaking in foreign language] the presence of Hashem is there [speaking in foreign language] is every place [speaking in foreign language] when you're speaking you have to speak with [speaking in foreign language] with with trepidation in front of the master [speaking in foreign language] you should be embarrassed in front of people right be can't be quiet [speaking in foreign language] don't someone calls you don't scream out to him [speaking in foreign language] like you would answer back to your rabbi [speaking in foreign language] he says you have to learn he's talking again he's talking to his son at the end of his life he says you got to be careful make sure you're learning Torah every single day [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] you know what to do if you don't learn [speaking in foreign language] when you get up you get you need a break you have to walk around [speaking in foreign language] this is something that it takes some practice you just learn to do an hour great you close the book you go home you forgot that was great that was great [speaking in foreign language] sit down for a second what did I just learn how can I put that into practice where can I apply that I mean apply that now I want to you have to try to train yourself to get ready to you it's not just to learn for sure [speaking in foreign language] but why is it [speaking in foreign language] because of the mood maybe [speaking in foreign language] it's not to just learn it's to actually do so if I never try to apply what I've learned what's the learning worth I guess it has the truth fine but you're not that's not the point the point is to get to do it so he says sit down think about it how are you going to apply this [speaking in foreign language] when you wake up in the morning and at night before you go to sleep think about the things that you did that day how many people actually sit down and make a journal you know I did this I did this I was this I could have said something nicer to this guy you know I was really good this was perfect I was treated this guy perfectly you know I messed up here I was good here that way you ending up every day making tissue and then if the word about it and [speaking in foreign language] this is one of the hardest things that's really nowadays we're walking around with this thing in your hand and your pocket and your thing and your friends talking to you to think about nothing else other than the fact that you're talking to God during tiffy law is very difficult to do and it's something that we all need work on and he's telling you listen [speaking in foreign language] when you're going to pray in front of God you might should be blank from all nonsense not the office not the wife not the kids not the out out [speaking in foreign language] prepare yourself to talk to God purify your thoughts [speaking in foreign language] that's all right hard to do with the pace that we're praying but he's saying think about the word that's actually coming out of your mouth when you're reading the [speaking in foreign language] and you're saying that word sometimes when I want to and I really slow down I actually try to visualize the word flying out of my mouth the letters and rising up the [speaking in foreign language] it takes thought but you want to have [speaking in foreign language] when you say [speaking in foreign language] you see it [speaking in foreign language] and you're watching it [speaking in foreign language] that's how you pray [speaking in foreign language] so you do this all your life you're not going to sin [speaking in foreign language] you'll be able to think clearly to act properly [speaking in foreign language] you feel that would be pure [speaking in foreign language] right with proper intention [speaking in foreign language] when you give a gift to your friend you're going to go to the store you're going to buy something that was second-hand broken little rickety dirty or you want to go there you want to buy the best thing possible you want to buy something beautiful wrap it in a nice wrapping a nice card I'm sending my [speaking in foreign language] it's not even a gift [speaking in foreign language] it's me asking for something I'm asking for something I don't I don't send it the right way I send it dirty and broken and [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language] let your ears hear what you're saying says that I'm bomb at the end [speaking in foreign language] you should learn this it's one and a half pages very easy it's too it's I mean we did it in two sessions the whole thing just now I'll send the recordings by once but this is where at the end he says read this letter right once a week no less [speaking in foreign language] he's telling you give me a [speaking in foreign language] that you read this letter once a week you're going to be successful with everything that you do but it's a [speaking in foreign language] you'll be able to reach all of my bow which is being set aside for those that are righteous [speaking in foreign language] every day that you do read it [speaking in foreign language] you will be answered with anything that you ask from Hashem [speaking in foreign language] [speaking in foreign language]
