0:01 Just imagine yourself being led through the halls, the formidable halls of the headquarters of Microsoft, being led to your new job. You've just secured the CEO in his khakis and light blue polo shirt, taking you towards your desk to begin. As you walk by all the glass doors and all the very important and smart looking people typing on their computers, you continue towards the very end of the hall where you are introduced to your brand new office, the dream job you just secured, but you aren't sure what the job is. You ace the interview, you accepted the job, but you don't know what the job is.
0:42 And as the man that walked you through the formidable hallways down to your desk bids, you farewell. As the CEO tips his cap, he says Now good luck. And there you are, alone in your desk, in the office of your dream job, but you have no idea what the job is, what it entails and what the objective is. This could go one of two ways it could be tragic, it could be an ultimate failure, or you could just figure out what the job is and continue to succeed and work your way up to the very top of the company.
1:26 This muscle, this parable, is very much the idea of something that we have to come to terms with and understand, and that we have been given the dream job at Microsoft. We've been given life down here on this earth, but we don't have a profit, like the Villanagone says, like they used to have in days by gone. You could just say what is my job in life? What is my chuvah sob olamot? What am I to do with my talents? Why has my soul come all the way down from beneath Hashem's heavenly throne down to this planet? Instead, we have to figure it out by ourselves. So what do you do?
2:06 Well, search the office, try to discover what it is, based on your cognitive abilities, based on your office proximity, based on what tools and instruments you have in your Microsoft office desk. By doing like that, you can work backwards. You can figure out. If you have a broom and a mop, you might be cleaning the floors at Microsoft, but if you have a big corner office with ceiling to floor, glass windows, you may be very talented and a lot may be asked of you.
2:52 The Messiah says there's absolutely no reason, if life down here on this earth was for taiva, for sensual pleasure seeking, that God would give us this tremendously lofty and elevated soul, it isn't needed. So when you think, why is it that I have this elevated soul that already guides us towards? We have a pretty high-end job. We may even be vice president of a company. Each person should look around his office, his life, whether he's wealthy or poor, tall or short, alacritus or lazy. What is it that you bring to the table?
3:33 What is your hova soba olamo? And when you work backwards, you can become your own prophet to figure out what it is that the Almighty wants from you. And like that, you can figure out your job and they'll then go about it, fulfilling the reason why Hashem sent you to this earth. Thanks for watching.
