Unlocking Inner Peace: The Path to a Mistake-Free Life of Joy and Tranquility (Emunah & Bitachon)

Show Notes
Transcript

What if achieving peace, preventing mistakes, and cultivating joy were all within your reach? I invite you to explore an attribute that holds the key to such an abundance of goodness - inner peace. Inspired by the case of Moshe Rabbeinu, a great tzaddik who made an error in judgment due to anger, we delve into the intimate connection between anger and mistakes. We consider the implications of a peaceful state of being, where one acts systematically, absorbs knowledge calmly, and sails through life's waves with tranquility.

Drawing from Maharal's exploration of the waters of strife, we embark on a journey to uncover the secret to achieving total peace - absolute trust in Hashem. We discuss how such unwavering faith can lead to a mistake-free, joy-filled life. Sharing practical advice on cultivating this trust, we explore the teachings of Chovos halavavos share habitachon, the fourth shar. We learn to internalize that everything happens according to Hashem's perfect plan, an understanding that breeds total peace and joy. So join us, and discover a life of inner calm, free of errors and filled with endless pleasure.

00:00:01.943 --> 00:00:09.493
There is one attribute, one Mida, that, if acquired, will bring Ka-Moma Los Tovos.

00:00:09.493 --> 00:00:11.683
So many great goodies by the wayside.

00:00:11.683 --> 00:00:43.810
And we begin today's journey with the brutal reality that the halakos of the purification of previously impure vessels, turning them kosher, cashering them, was not delivered to us by Moshe Rabbenu and says Rashi, because B'alich l'alkaas, b'alich l'altoas, that Moshe Rabbenu, a great saddik, who the Almighty, would hold a magnifying glass on his character to examine his actions, k'huta saira with exactness.

00:00:43.810 --> 00:00:48.890
Therefore, at his level, he showed kaas, he showed anger and therefore he aired.

00:00:48.890 --> 00:00:50.603
He forgot this halacha.

00:00:50.603 --> 00:00:52.390
And it's not even the first time.

00:00:52.390 --> 00:00:53.884
What are we to make of it?

00:00:53.884 --> 00:01:03.289
But we know that Shemu Nuhamurim and Moshe said, by the waters of strife, that O'Rebels showed a bit of anger.

00:01:03.289 --> 00:01:18.653
Therefore he aired in his judgment and says Rabbenu, we see from here that it's a cause and effect, there's a function here that if one is even in the proximity of anger l'alkaas, well, out the other side comes mistakes.

00:01:18.653 --> 00:01:24.531
Well, we can infer from here let's flip it on its head, let us put in there the cause.

00:01:24.531 --> 00:01:41.030
Well, total peace, total manu chahashkit vovetach, all goodness, if you can find total shalom, well then out the other side would become Mahilos Tovos, and everyone knows if someone is totally in inner peace.

00:01:41.030 --> 00:01:44.745
They act with such a methodical approach to different topics.

00:01:44.745 --> 00:01:47.174
They learn with Shalva, they learn with peace.

00:01:47.174 --> 00:01:53.932
And how can we acquire total inner peace that we so badly want?

00:01:54.739 --> 00:02:00.296
Well, maharal and one of his famous treatises on the waters of strife.

00:02:00.296 --> 00:02:03.808
He says I'll clarify to you what the sin of the main mariva was.

00:02:03.808 --> 00:02:05.382
He says people say it was anger.

00:02:05.382 --> 00:02:07.609
People say he hit the rakshimunu amurim.

00:02:07.609 --> 00:02:09.804
People say that it was ya'an kiloya minu.

00:02:09.824 --> 00:02:12.991
Because Moshe Rabbenu, the pausik, says he didn't trust in Hashem.

00:02:12.991 --> 00:02:15.526
He says it's all the same thing.

00:02:15.526 --> 00:02:20.933
A person comes into anger when he doesn't have full trust in Hashem.

00:02:20.933 --> 00:02:33.323
And in a spot where a mensch has total emunah and betachan in the Almighty out the other side is total shalom, total peace and an added bonus.

00:02:33.323 --> 00:02:35.128
One doesn't make mistakes.

00:02:35.128 --> 00:02:37.849
They do what the Almighty thinks is right.

00:02:37.849 --> 00:02:39.296
What does Hashem want from me?

00:02:39.296 --> 00:02:47.402
Because the only thing that matters to them is Hashem's will, because he is somebody who has total emunah shalema.

00:02:48.659 --> 00:03:04.131
If we can be ba'alik la'al minuha, ba'alik la'al emunah, ba'alik la'al betachan, well then we will have a total error, free life packed with simcha sahayim.

00:03:04.131 --> 00:03:05.764
That's our Avodah.

00:03:05.764 --> 00:03:06.984
How is this done?

00:03:06.984 --> 00:03:14.698
I'd imagine learning Chobos halavavos shahabitach on the foreshar, over and over and over.

00:03:14.698 --> 00:03:43.149
Understanding why nothing can happen to you unless the Almighty was gozer it, knowing that if you internalize that everything's from above, that Hashem has a perfect plan for you, that nobody can hurt you, nobody can lay a finger on you, nobody can steal a scent from you, unless the Almighty was gozer that and that is perfect and wanted and in your best interest, well then you are ba'alik la'al emunah and ba'alik la'al betachan.

00:03:43.149 --> 00:03:54.044
With this reality and living in this proximity to these meadows will equal the effect of perfect peace and simcha.
