0:02 The following superstition and fabrication created by the evil Satan clogs the path to Chuva faster than an overturned tractor trailer on Highway 9 here in Lakewood, god forbid. Or like trying to flush a big roll of bounty paper towels down a cheap toilet. Hopefully you get my drift. What is this misconception? Which item stands in the way of honest contrition and repentance, says the great Miramashkiyach? It is none other than Chuva itself.
0:44 And he explains because as soon as we make up our minds to start returning to Hashem, the Yatsuhara gets involved and says you know, that's nice, you're learning two minutes more per day. You call that real greatness. You call that real godless. You know what real Chuva is. You got to learn an hour a day. You got to stop speaking Lush and Hara for hours. The whole second half of the day you got to have concentration from Modani, at the beginning of Shachas, until the very end of Lidovid, at the end of Davening. That is what godless is. Two minutes, you call that Chuva and Rabbi Irochem used to call that, and the further, more contemporary Mashkiyach I'm still call it.
1:28 Bark back, stop trying to climb up to heaven. It's impossible. You take a baby step forward and step by step you may get there, ravilo Pianski, the great Mashkiyach of Kral Yisrael and the Godlador of America. Now, he was just speaking about how we have this misconception of greatness and what honest and real Chuva is. The Aids are put into our mind and he says you know what is greatness? Well, if I'm sitting there and you know they take a picture, you know Ravchaim Kaniyafski. He sits there at the table.
2:09 He's giving tzedaka to Kupatoir. People around him got boyam shamoshem. You know, he's in all the magazines. That's godless, ladies and gentlemen. Ravilo Pianski said greatness isn't a beauty pageant. You're not just trying to improve to impress everyone else around you. So you're the best bacher in brisk or the best girl in BJJ or the best guy in Lakewood or the best girl in Muncie? No, but further developing your Salem, elohim, that's godless. So take a minuscule, bite size, step forward, take a baby step forward.
2:52 Learn for two minutes extra, stop speaking LaShinhara, or an extra two minutes a day, and then maybe eventually great things will happen. But stop climbing to heaven and take an honest and real step forward.
