The shiur in English
The Yanuka’s own words in this shiur, translated into English by Lehallel · 496 words · 2:26. Press a time to hear it said.
0:00 We have the King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He. I am a servant of the King, you too are a servant of the King. Because He is so great, we cannot see Him. Not even to gaze. You know what? You want to see Him? Go outside, look at the sun. Can you look at the sun? You cannot. Go. Ah. That is one of His little servants. So can one look at the Creator Himself...?
0:27 But He lives and exists. He is a great King, exalted and lofty, and we and we cannot ask questions about Him, and we must always bow our heads. You must believe that you must submit to a king. You are not nullifying yourself, you are making yourself great. The moment you humble yourself, and you submit, You are only elevating yourself. And you know, a seed in the ground, What happens? We take the seed and bury it in the ground, it rots, it is humbled, and then suddenly you see a big tree growing.
1:01 Submission and humility - that is not what brings you down, it is what raises you up. Moshe Rabbeinu was humble and lowly, he said, I am not... he rejected himself. And in the end he grew into a great tree, so too King David, so too all the great ones. You must know that by nullifying yourself to the Holy One, blessed be He, you are only making yourself grow, you are not nullifying yourself. when you go to a Torah sage, when you go to a tzaddik, you nullify yourself, you do not truly nullify yourself.
1:28 twice more than he, you rise above him like a ladder. you go to a sage, you climb up on him, it is like a ladder, it is like steps. You rise above him. You rise higher than him. You do not truly submit. That is why a person has the evil inclination - to draw near to sages. Why? Because the Satan knows that he sees that he is nullifying himself, he will merit so many good things. The Satan prevents him from this more than from anything. The Satan will not prevent a person from learning Torah, will not prevent a person from prayer; he will not prevent a person from holiness; he will prevent him from nullifying himself to true knowledge, to the knowledge of a sage, to the knowledge of Torah, that he does not want.
2:02 Because he knows that if you receive, you will have countless salvations, and he does not want you to have salvations. And you, with Hashem's help, will accept the view of the Torah, and be strengthened, and know that when you accept the truth, You are not truly nullifying yourself. You make yourself grow twice over, and the Holy One, blessed be He, will do miracles and wonders with you, and He will make this tumor disappear for you from the world, amen.
