Rabbi Eliyahu Maksumov - The Magic Key

once upon a time there was a king who loved the Sun more than anything he would make sure his son got the best treatment and would supply his child with all the necessities a frightful thought passed the Kings mind one day that his beloved son I got kidnapped and taken away from his myths he called out his son and took out a special key this key was not just any ordinary key but a key which can open any door the boy may wish to open the king explained that if it ever happens that he get kidnapped and taken away and put into a cell so not to escape this key will be your savior and will help you escape and return home the father's final request was to take good care of the Skee so to not get a rusty and to keep it in good condition and he sent off the boy with his most prized possession the prince was delighted with his new prized possession but took his father's words lightly he went around throughout the palace opening all kinds of doors and locks eventually the item got boring and the boy started forgetting where he left it losing it and finding it in number about the times a few days later the boy decided to roam around the garden of the palace where he spotted the key that his father has granted him and he picked it up putting it in his pocket looking for more exciting things he can do he decided why should I always be in the same jurisdiction I'd rather go off the path my father has set for me and see what else there is in this world he noticed the guard by the entrance fell asleep and made his plan to escape as soon as he went astray a group of bandits seized the opportunity to get ahold of the boy and took him away deep into the forest and locked him up in the basement of a house in a cell within no time that the King realized that his son was not around and nowhere to be found with fury he commanded the guards to look all over for the boy each going their separate directions finally a group of guards headed towards the area the border was hidden and as soon as the bandits realized the guards are coming they quickly ran away so do not get caught and get severe punishment from the king the boy noticed the bandits leaving realizing salvation is near I started screaming for help but the guards looking all over couldn't find or hear him for the doors of the basement where air sealed shut the boy screamed till his voice got sore losing hope realizing his mistake was that he left his father's palace as soon as he remembered his father he remember the key that was given to him as a gift realizing fortunate for him he picked it up on the way out of the palace he took it out and put it into the lock of the cell but the key wouldn't turn and the door wouldn't open pulling the key out you realize the key was too rusty for he hasn't taken care of it like his father advised losing complete hope he burst into tears and as the tears tumbled down his cheeks they kept falling onto the key sort of washing off the dirt and the rustiness decided to give him one more try he stuck the key into the world once more and this time it turned the prince was overwhelm and struck before he escaped the cell and opened the doors of the basement as the guards found him to his father of his King the Prince never left the palace again and obeyed his father's rules ever since loyally understanding his father those who impressed with him who could take a lesson from this story The Cure presents our mouths and with it we can serve Hashem opening the gates of Tefila and the doors to our prayers letting our prayers get answered instead of being grateful for this gift we use it often appropriately saying all sorts of things that shouldn't be said whether its hurtful speech Lashon Hara or inappropriate language and so on therefore in purifying our mouths then when things don't go the way we would like them to we try to escape our problems to prayer that since our mouths are so dirty from all the speech the players have a harder time breaking through the gates of heaven because there are so many prosecutors standing in the way therefore it is imperative upon us to keep our key which is our mouths clean and rust-free through only engaging ourselves in the words of holiness positive speech about others and proper language refraining using it in negative ways the time we're living in we're so close to the final revention only once we don't give up and do to survive giving it that one more try giving the ability for our prayer more the chance to be asked opening the gates of prayer [Music]
