0:00 First of all you need to know to be good people. That is the most important thing. Many people suffer, you look for the Holy One, blessed be He, in all kinds of ways - at the Kotel, at the graves of tzaddikim, look for Him in derech eretz, decent conduct, with your neighbor, look for Him in derech eretz toward your fellow man. Lashon hara, evil speech, shaming people, causing pain - what is done today in the world, this is the thing - all the troubles people suffer today, and illnesses, and plagues, this is only from this insult that is done to the Jewish people, to the created beings. It is forbidden, forbidden - not to read lashon hara, not to speak lashon hara, not to lend a hand to lashon hara. You see lashon hara - immediately, you don't look at it.
0:42 It is like the most impure thing there is. Just as a person - if they show him something immodest, he runs from it as from fire - so too forbidden things. You don't look, I guard myself. guards his eyes from seeing evil - this too applies to forbidden things. words of heresy, apikorsus, in lashon hara - you don't look at such things. One still needs to reach the state where he does not lend a hand to the evil that exists in the world. The evil there is in the world today, the competition, the competition there is, that springs up in the world, that everyone wants the honor and the power and the popularity, and they want to slaughter and trample on the way everyone who exists, because they don't believe that there is Someone who does everything.
1:23 So you say to such boors, ignorant people, that there is no dealing at all with such people. And so in such a case, you can continue on your way, and there is no need to worry about resentments and things like that, and these are empty matters, and the main thing is that a person behave nicely and with derech eretz and receive every person with a pleasant face, that is what is needed. Not beyond that, that is the most important thing.
