0:00 Only to cling to the holy Torah. The adversary confuses everyone, gives them fantasies, to run, to rush, to turn around, nothing. The greatest purpose in life, when a person stands now like this, facing the Sefer Torah with tallis and tefillin, raising his eyes to heaven, that is it. These are things that the whole world was created for, even... this is the purpose. One must be filled with the greatest happiness and joy there is.
0:25 One who is not happy with this, is the greatest poor soul. That is the greatest pity for him. To rejoice in this: "I will rejoice in Hashem." How did King David say it? Everyone in the world rejoices This one rejoices in palaces, this one rejoices in gold, this one rejoices in silver, this one rejoices in children and a wife. King David says, "I will rejoice in Hashem." Ah, Let sinners cease from the earth and the wicked be no more. I rejoice only in the Holy One, blessed be He.
0:50 Nothing makes me happy, only Hashem. This is the greatest joy. A person departs in the end to his eternal home in heaven, With what will he rejoice? What will remain for him, the joy? The greatest joy that a person... What is all this life? It is a preparation for the meeting with Hashem, blessed be He. All this life is a preparation for the meeting with Hashem. Clinging to Hashem, we see salvations, the Holy One, blessed be He, answers us, we need to raise our eyes to heaven. Suddenly you will see how He answers, does miracles and wonders, signs and portents, does not leave us, He did not leave us and will not forget us, right?
1:19 This world is one great vanity. And who said vanity of vanities, all is vanity? Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. King Shlomo says this. He had everything. This is the most successful man in the world. All the wealth, all the abundance in the world. It is not some poor, unfortunate man who said this. The man who had everything said this. everything. King Shlomo said: All is vanity of vanities. This whole world is one great vanity of vanities.
1:44 One must not be confused by this world, ever. One must always be settled, happy, hold on to the holy Torah, rejoice in the holy Torah and know that this is the thing that should fill a person, to feel full, full inside. And this is his joy and hope, and this is the true purpose. And if a person rejoices in this, then all the gates are already opened for him. Truly. There is nothing... healing suddenly opens, livelihood... everything opens, but when a person strengthens himself in the Torah, Hashem gave us this book, which is the key to everything, the Sefer Torah that is in the Ark. This is the holy Torah, this is the key to everything.
2:16 Keep what is written here, And He said, "If you will diligently listen to the voice of Hashem your G-d, and do what is right in His eyes, and give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, all the sickness that I placed on Egypt I will not place upon you, For I am Hashem your healer, King of the kings of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He. Blessed and exalted be the name of the King of the kings of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He.
