LOVE MUSSAR BUT STILL A MONSTER?

anyone that has not been scared by their Tor learning simply has not learned so how could it be that someone can say that they learned the entire Shas but still desecrate hashem's name on a regular basis how could it be that somebody can say they learn enough to become a rabbi but still be someone that's immoral how could it be someone that has learned a lot of musar books but still be addicted to wasting seed and immorality how could such things be so you have many people that have learned M from different aspects of the Tor different places in the Tor whether it be the or be a the or even in m is everywhere how could it be that there are certain people that have read mus that have read Mish that have read a calit but yet they continue being addicted to the ways of the rather addicted than addicted to the ways of how could it be this is what the will elaborate for us now so he says the following here the G VNA gives us clear instructions which we will elaborate on of why there are people that can learn M love but yet remain or simply remain Wicked people according to the Torah because they're addicted to immorality addicted to all types of sins even though they've learned M and sometimes even do things that you cannot believe you cannot believe that this person has ever learned a single day of M all types of things all types of stories that I've seen or I've heard and and and and you just can't believe that such a person has ever learned a a page of T in their life needless to say m the the the teaching that is supposed to soften a person's n make them a better person ethical teachings how could you spend your time learning ethical teachings and be unethical it doesn't make any sense but yet there are countless people just like this although we don't believe the story of this Goldberg character that says that somebody threatened him uh and and called his daughter and so on even if it's true even if it's true as I've said in the past the reality is that such a person that called to and and gave a death threat to a 9-year-old kid or to a adult whoever it was or to both obviously is a person that did not apply the Mard that were learning to their life they just took whatever they were learning and simply made it into whatever they wanted just to project the pre-existing anger they already had but of course this is not the only case in the world there are many times where you have people that say they are learning M even Goldberg himself he has a class where he teaches the but yet is obviously publicly lying to his audience and whoever Wast their time listening to him doing things that are jeopardizing Jewish people while telling them I love the Jewish people and of course there are many others like him some are Rabbi some are not some people will say listen they have read uh you know dozens of books about M but yet they're unethical people I one time uh spoke to a uh poor woman that was married to a guy that considered himself not only a that was giving but an expert in M but yet she was calling me crying hysterically asking me if I could help her why because her husband is a monster a monster to say the least and anyone can figure out the reasons and the hows and the wise and all that other stuff I told her well maybe uh he should learn M she goes no no you don't understand I'm calling you and crying because he supposedly is a musar expert anytime I tell him you know uh please maybe uh this maybe that he said listen everything you can tell me I already know I read over 40 different musar books I'm an expert in M but yet he's a monster how could such a thing be the G elaborates and says although he said go learn the M books the k Ecclesiastes or other books that you're uh interested in God forbid that the reading of these musar books should become the sole objective for this reading of musar books alone does not transform a person indeed there are many people who read Musa works and they're not transformed this is because of what we have mentioned above which is that reason eating alone does not affect change in a person how could such a thing be that a person could watch a from someone that is scaring them telling them about the consequence of their crimes what's going to happen in this world or the next and yet the person will care less and even make fun of it or simply it'll come in and out simultaneously how could such thing be How could somebody tell you listen look at my library I have you know path of the just I have I have this I have that I've read all of them but yet his kids are scared to even say his name because of how dangerous this person is or this the kids are scared to ask the mother for food because of how scary she is all people do things that are contrary to what they're learning you have all types of people in the world where they say listen I don't know what got into me but uh I just decided to leave what do you mean decided to leave to leave what no I don't know I decided to leave in the middle of work what do you what is your job oh I uh I I uh babysit kids for uh for somebody and uh I decided to leave what happened with the kids well I don't know but they could you know the the owner left me a message and I'm scared to listen to it what do you mean where did you leave the kids oh I left them in front of the school did they have another way home I don't know I got so mad at them they didn't want to get into the car I just left like what you IR responsible person do you ever think about that no they don't think about that they don't think about that or people that take uh you know people's money and do what they want with it instead of what they were supposed to do with it didn't you earn this person's trust didn't you work on earning this person's trust how did you take that money and use it for things that are against everything you said I don't know what get into me so how could it be that sometimes those very same people have heard have read M works but yet they were not affected the G Vila is saying that this is not a new thing in fact there are people that read musar works but they're not transformed nothing happens they'll watch a musar lecture and still remain the very same animal they were and sometimes an even more dangerous animal sometimes they'll use the musar that they know as a weapon rather than as something that will make them a better person there's a joke that's you could learn M from where there was one time an arrogant young man that uh refused every shid that the rabbi sent him no girl was good enough him he viewed himself as a as a special person like this arrogant young kid told me one time listen Rabbi I'm not a regular person you have to talk to me with respect okay blocked you know so you know people like that it's really you can't help people like that because whatever you say is is deleted before it enters [Music] w [Music]
