0:00 If they tell you one day an answer to this thing, know that it is never the answer. Now, regarding what he asked: how does a person know his tikkun and his path in this world? One of the important things for a person to go along the path of this world in calm is always to seek and ask after Hashem's will. "Teach me, Hashem, Your way." If all your life, every day, you ask Hashem to teach you the way and your tikkun, you will arrive. If they tell you one day an answer to this thing, know that it is never the answer. The answer is always the search. Until a person's last day, a person will always need to ask and seek after Hashem's will. Forever. Let me give you an example. They say that before the holy Baal Shem Tov passed away,
0:36 his students asked him: "Where shall we go? To which Rebbe shall we go after you?" He said to them: "If you are given a rav - whoever you go to - ask him for advice against pride. If he gives you advice against pride, know that there is nothing to him. If he tells you there is no advice against pride, only prayer, prayer - he is a true Rebbe; cleave to him." The question you are asking is the same story. You say: how will a person know his path and what to do in the world? If we give you an answer, then the moment you do it, you will already think you are truly in the real truth, and then you will not do anything else. So the moment you understand that the answer to this is searching,
1:01 it is asking of Hashem, then you will find. King David prayed all his life. All of Tehillim is asking and searching after Hashem's will.
