stay there just don't learn T the will never interfere with your job never because he wants you to stay there he wants you to occupy yourself with work and with the mundane things of this world so you stay away from Torah why because work keeps you away from him to is to poison against him it's The Poon that kills him so that's why says the Satan will never ever disturb you from business and he'll prefer for you to go work 24 hours a day seven days a week not six days no Shabbat seven days a week work on Shabbat too why it's not Torah as long as not Torah go do it that's m a proof you can see

you're going to lose your job you're not going to lose your job you're not going to lose your job all you're going to lose is sh that's all you're going to lose but that's M try this at home watch you open a book all of a sudden you're tired before you open the book you were like a bull you were able to rip trees with your teeth out of the ground open a seph open K open anything all of a sudden like M there's like a plague on you you're dying the one he sleeping you can't you can't move pain tooth pain ear pain this pain that pain why you open seph Tor all of a sudden you're like narcoleptic you know narcolepsy is is people have the uh disease they talk to you talk to you all of a sudden they fall asleep all day you are alive Like a Lion open fall asleep like a baby I don't know why they say fall asleep like a baby these babies don't fall asleep they don't sleep my babies go to sleep at 3:00 in the morning they I'm competing with them they don't sleep I don't know why they say sleep like a baby my babies don't sleep God bless him you just realized that I think the guy that made the quote never had any kids that's what happened never had any kids so tells you Basics Bas you see all these Mish they're very basic very basic principles of Torah he says less work more tah why the the prime reason for your existence is learning and following Torah business Hashem is going to give it to you one way or another never turn your life to such an extent which unfortunately all of us are victims of where business becomes priority and Torah becomes secondary our goal in life is to make Torah priority and business something we do in order to learn Torah that's the goal in life the goal in life is not to make business priority it's to make Torah priority now this is very hard for people because the Satan convinces you with genius arguments he says listen it's very nice this Rabbi is telling you go learn Torah and uh no business and less business business and all business but hey who pays for the CDs that he has who pays for the organization who pays for the rent who pays for the car who pays for the food he needs money even here not talking about themselves talking about he needs money so people donate if they don't work there's no donations so if I work so now he's now the yet goes a step further he goes Z maybe people are not donating much so I have to work extra so I can give him more donation cuz if I a million times I've heard this once I become rich Rich I'm going to donate all my money to kiru once I have this million dollars $10 million $100 million whatever million zillion dollar dreams that people have once I have that I'm GNA donate zillions half of it I'm gonna give to K I bought this oh great how much is it it's $500 million well good luck to you no no you should you should you should pray for this why half of it going to you I'm in amen one time there was a guy came to a rabbi he says I want you to pray for me to your God that I win this lot ticket $10 million says no problem I'll pray for you a week passes nothing he didn't win go what happened sometimes our prayers are not answered sometimes has says no CU what kind of God is this no Pray For Me Harder fine fine fine listen I'll up the last time I said I was going to give I was going to give 1 million this time tell I'm giving you half Rabbi says amen no problem I'll pray goes I'm giving you half no problem praying five million to me five million to youim we're Partners no problem praying for you all week for everything I'm GNA learn for you another week passes no money the guy says Ah this guy's not serious is he goes to the church over there he goes hey uh priest go you know put down your idol for a second come over here goes yeah I was uh just uh washing uh JC had some uh syrup on his eyes we pretended like it was blood what happened listen I want you to pray for me so I win the lotto I give half to the church no problem pray for you next day jackpot $10 million the guy the next day he's driving in his brand new car and he passes by the church and he passes by the synagogue and his friend is in the car as soon as he passes by the church he looks at it he looks at the you know says you know like this and he looks at the synagogue he starts laughing his friend says why are you laughing because ah the god of Israel is not a sucker he knows I'm not he knew I'm not going to pay the god of Israel is not he know I'm not going to pay that's a good one so that's the thing so everybody says listen once I make this deal I'm Gonna Be A Millionaire I'm gonna give money to kiru I'm Gonna Save I'm gonna do this I'm gonna do that but I have a question for you what makes you think what part of the tah did you learn that makes you think your is not going to grow with your bank account what makes you think that your desire right now 100% you say You're Gonna Give You right now I believe you right I believe you that if you had it you'd give but you don't have it that's why you have no for it what makes you think that your doesn't change with your bank account what makes you think that once you have the money you're still going to want to give just like you wanted to give when you didn't have everybody says I'm going to give what I don't have one guy they came to him they said listen we want to make sure that you are uh worthy of being one of the uh sergeants of the Caesar okay ask what do you need we need to see your loyalty no problem what goes you're donkey would you give it to the Caesar no problem give it to them right away your cow your cow you give it to the Caesar no problem on the spot you ask I give okay good so far so good your chicken you give your chicken he go hey no no no chicken no chicken not giving you no chicken there this guy's crazy get him out of here get him out of here give the cow give the donkey I give a chicken they throw him out like this guy doesn't even have a profile you know the profile they try to test the profile from one to 10 this guy's not even a one he's like wait the donkey the chick what's wrong with you they kick him out one of his friends asked him out say goes what's what's wrong with you the donkey the cow you give but chicken you wouldn't give I mean if anything should be the opposite cuz no no listen let me tell you something donkey I don't have cow I don't have chicken I have I'm not giving them my chicken something I don't have I give it to them anytime I have a d I don't have a donkey take it though cow I don't have they want to give me cow I'll give it back to them no problem but my chicken I'm gets my chicken I'm not giving my chicken people want to give away the stuff they don't have all the time all the time they want to give it I'll give you a million I give it no but that's not the test hasem says now is a test now now you're making $500 a week now it's time to give M that's the test so says listen you're trying to overwork because you think that if you make more money you're going to give more to Torah or you're going to be able to learn more T who says who says you're right yet changes with your bank account your yet changes with your bank account he's going to grow with the bank account so you think that you're going to make more money and therefore you're gonna have more time to retire you're gonna say listen I'm going to work 20 30 years for my pension once I'm on pension I'm leaving everything I'm only learning to from morning toight yet shows up in your pension party he says hey how are you goes oh what are you doing here you were with me for 30 years goes no no no I left you alone for 30 years you're working I didn't bother you goes what are you doing here now he goes now I'm here for the stay now I'm here for the retirement to make sure you don't learn one ounce of Torah that's the don't try to fool him it doesn't work only way is give him the portion of Tor when it's hard for you when the kids are crying when the wife is complaining when the husband doesn't want when all this stuff that's when you learn toah that's when you learn to it's not supposed to be easy and to think that if you have more money it's going to change things it's not going to change anything it's going to make more hard more difficult so that's the first rule says very very simple very simple but very difficult at the same time it's very simple but very very difficult why because yet you can't see him unless you look for him [Music]
