The shiur in English
The Yanuka’s own words in this shiur, translated into English by Lehallel · 468 words · 2:31. Press a time to hear it said.
0:00 And the fourth rule, which one must think about and contemplate, is about thought. Here one must really unify the thought, so that it is clean, and think about the mercy of Hashem, blessed be He. Not to think with the attribute of judgment, because often, when a person is in a time of trouble, he immediately thinks in judgments. He comes to think hard thoughts, or thinks that this reality is hard and the work is heavy, and he does not know how he will be able to get out of it.
0:30 Then he starts thinking about troubles, and thoughts, and hard imaginings. So that is forbidden to think. Immediately think about the mercy of Hashem, and also about the friend, that one we want to pray for: one must think that the Holy One, blessed be He, will save him, and also tell him good things - that it will be well; calm him, so that he will have a settled mind, and tell him, 'Surely you will have good.' And to think of his good, to think about him that he will have great good, and also tell him to stop thinking the bad.
0:58 I will explain to you one more thing about this. Many times a person is already saved - I will give you an example: say a person comes who is broken and crying, and says that he has no salvation in the matter of the shidduch - until he finds one, and what will be - and he is broken and in great pain. Say in another two days he will find the shidduch, another two days. He has two days to wait that he will have his parnassah, or his shidduch, or children who will endure, and he will have the salvation he needs.
1:33 All that is left for him is to wait just a day, two days - Not much. But at that moment he is already saved. But he himself is still broken. And he thinks judgments; he still thinks in that same pain and in that same in that same contemplation, but he does not know that the salvation has already come. That is to say, when he has the salvation, he has lost all this time that he was in pain, and all this time went to waste.
2:05 The pain, the sadness, the grief - it is forbidden to think in this, Heaven forbid. That is why I say: think good - first of all, think good; think good thoughts about the greatness and the mercy of Hashem; know that one can get out of every situation. From every situation Hashem, blessed be He, can save a person - to always think good thoughts about Hashem, blessed be He, to greet everyone with a shining face.
