0:00 The more a person marvels at the Torah, what happens in Heaven? That's how it is with a painter - people marvel at him, right? What happens? When a person values the Torah, he values the Torah - it is the most important thing in the world. So what happens in return from Heaven? The Holy One, blessed be He, too, listens to what he says. He knows that one has to begin to know how to find favor in the eyes of the Holy One, blessed be He.
0:24 One has to know to do everything that will find favor in the eyes of the Holy One, blessed be He. To be always faithful to the Holy One, blessed be He, to His Torah, to His mitzvos, to know that this is the most important thing in the world. This is the last thing that remains to us from the time of the Beis HaMikdash, the Holy Temple. And we must always see, to seek the Holy One, blessed be He, from every place. Now, this is teshuvah, as it says for us: "From there you will seek Hashem your G-d, and you will find Him, when you search for Him with all your heart." Seek from the place where you are, wherever you seek the Holy One, blessed be He, always, you will see Him, you will find the Holy One, blessed be He,
0:59 seek Him everywhere. "From there you will seek Hashem your G-d, and you will find Him, when you search for Him with all your heart." You have to ask of the Holy One, blessed be He, with all your heart, and then you will find Him everywhere. But what? One must always remember to seek the Holy One, blessed be He. There are those who seek Him only in the synagogue - when they are in the synagogue, in the beis midrash, they have kedushah, fear of Heaven. And there are those who are the opposite: they leave the synagogue, they run to the Holy One, blessed be He.
1:25 They go to the beis midrash, they see the Holy One, blessed be He. They see the Holy One, blessed be He, everywhere. That is "I have set Hashem before me always." Such a one is not alarmed by anything he sees in the world. There are many non-Jews who act against Hashem, they act, they worship in houses of idolatry. So what, will a person say to himself, "I'm going after the non-Jews"? No. He will know within himself: that is falsehood. The non-Jews - their way is not it, it is not true. I do not worship idols, I believe only in the One.
1:50 So all of them are non-Jews... and a person - with the Holy One, blessed be He. Now one can also see a very beautiful thing, which is written in Tractate Berachos, page 48a. There is a dispute between Abaye and Rava... a very great foundation - to know where there truly is revelation; one can understand it in its inner sense: Where is He? Where is the Holy One, blessed be He, revealed? Where does one see the Holy One, blessed be He? So Abaye says: in the heavens. Go out to the heavens, turn to the heavens, and you will see G-dliness revealed.
2:15 And Rava, what does he say? The ceiling. To the ceiling - here, here. That is to say, the difference between Abaye and Rava: Abaye says: in the heavens. Rava says: here you will see it - here, right here. One has to seek the Holy One, blessed be He, at the ceiling, to lift one's eyes, that the Holy One, blessed be He, is there. What is the truth? Here - it is exactly as you said. There is one who seeks to see the Holy One, blessed be He, in the place where he is. He sees the Holy One, blessed be He, in the synagogue, in the beis midrash, the ceiling - at the ceiling he sees the Holy One, blessed be He.

2:41 But Abaye says: to the heavens, seek the Holy One, blessed be He; all the time, seek Him. Look at the heavens; all the time, seek the Holy One, blessed be He. Do not be like those who go and waste their time and their lives and everything, on the vanities of this world. Seek the Holy One, blessed be He, all the time, in some kind of connection with the Holy One, blessed be He. When a person reaches these levels, to levels - then he rises and rises and rises and rises, all the time. Not serving the Holy One, blessed be He, so that when a person reaches a level: "I have already served, that's it, no need to serve any more."
3:09 There are those who think: "I have served the Holy One, blessed be He, no need to serve any more. I learn Torah now, I know Torah, I know." No! You serve, and serve, and serve, and serve, and serve, and serve, and more, and more, and more levels, and more levels, and more levels, and more levels, and more levels. Who was like that? King David. King David - look at the psalms of David. The secret of the teshuvah that King David did: all the time he sought the Holy One, blessed be He.
3:36 Have you ever seen anyone as dependent on the Holy One, blessed be He, as King David? He does not stop asking: "Answer me, answer me! Oh, answer me! Do not hide Your face from me, do not forsake me, do not forsake me, Hashem; my G-d, do not be far from me. Hasten to my help, my L-rd, my salvation." All the time King David asks - prayers and requests, and more requests and more prayers, of the Holy One, blessed be He. He simply drives Him crazy - he does not stop driving the Holy One, blessed be He, crazy. All the time he prays and burdens Heaven. As we learned - remember? - the Yerushalmi, chapter nine, in Berachos: that flesh and blood says: "So-and-so keeps burdening me..."
4:07 That is, with us - each time, one wants to forget the one who keeps burdening him. But the Holy One, blessed be He, is not so. The more you burden Him, the more He receives you. That was King David's occupation. All the time King David burdens the Holy One, blessed be He; each time he thinks about the ultimate purpose, and knows that there is One who runs this world. There is a King who brings low, lifts up, exalts, makes poor, makes rich - there is only the Holy One, blessed be He. But King David fled from all the craziness of the world, and because of that, King David - they pursued him.
4:34 Why did they pursue King David? Because he rose so much - he rose, and hung on the Holy One, blessed be He, all the time - the Satan was already going crazy: what is he - all the time he wants to rise the highest! What is to be done with him? King David also reveals G-dliness; he revealed wondrous niggunim in the world, he revealed such psalms that to this day we are nourished by those psalms. ...the psalms of Tehillim that we see. And so this comes to teach a person: do not be shaken by everything that passes over you - all the pursuers: the worries of making a living, hard things, your sufferings, your troubles pursue you, your ordeals pursue you, bad people pursue you, your debts pursue you, all kinds of things that pass over you,
5:20 whether in material things or in spiritual things. - But I came to tell about a miracle, something like that... - A miracle? For you? Give thanks to Hashem, for He is good! For His kindness endures forever! Give thanks to Hashem, for He is good! For His kindness endures forever! Give thanks to Hashem, for He is good! - There was... ...something terrible, and a year ago we were given the news by the PET-CT that nothing is seen.
5:51 I hope that it will all be in the past. The truth is, it affected us, and affected us a lot too. I believe that G-d gives back. - The Holy One, blessed be He, will go on doing so, all through life - believe it. Seven twenty-six. Once, I am ready to tell you. - Thank you very much. This morning too... and now I have come to you. ...this morning, when he came to our home.
6:16 At first no, but afterwards yes, no doubt. - You move us, your honor. You move us. Give thanks to Hashem, for He is good, for His kindness endures forever. What is your name, your honor? - ...Avraham. - Avraham, son of? - Avraham ben... - May the Holy One, blessed be He, send you salvations from Heaven. - Amen. Amen. Amen. - Salvations, miracles and wonders. - Amen. - Only in joy. - Amen. - And the great Name of the King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He, the Great, the Mighty and the Awesome. Be strong, be strong - may the Holy One, blessed be He, help you from Heaven.
6:51 Salvations, miracles and wonders. - Amen, thank you very much. - My daughter is ill with cancer. Give me - because today she has a PET-CT, today she also has a CT - give me a blessing too, that she too will come out of this and be healthy. - Truly. May you have miracles and wonders! - Amen! - And good news! - Amen! - She will come out of it all! - Amen! - ...for the good! - Amen! - [the daughter's name is given] - [the name is repeated] ...of hers. She is, after a year, after a year already...
7:30 she has to undergo a transplant soon... - ...salvations from Heaven. - Amen, amen, amen. Everything will work out, I hope. Amen.
7:57 - With Hashem's help, put this on for him - may he have a complete recovery, a good life.
