Okay, good evening friends. We're continuing in the holy safer parakeni which is about the mid of kesar. So as our custom is we're going to review the eight ways and we'll read again the eighth how one emulates in the mid of that one has to incorporate many different acts which are the primary way to emulate kesar. The first one which encapsulates everything is anova. Anova which encapsulates everything. It is dependent on kaser. It's the mida upon all the midis. It doesn't elevate above but it always looks down for two reasons. Number one, it's embarrassed and it's looking down in order to be mate. And it's primarily dependent on the head that one doesn't you know raise their head in an arrogant manner. Then we had the thoughts one should emulate one's thoughts should emulate kesser just like the does not cease from having good thoughts and evil does not enter because it's complete and midin doesn't enter. So one's thoughts always have to be free from any degrading type of thought thinking improper thoughts improper subjects thinking about lowly things and just like Torah preceded the world and Tory the way he explains it just like the Makava of Keser encapsulates ates the essence of Tyra that preceded the world and therefore one's thoughts should not be diverted outside of the realm of Tyra. One should think about the greatness of Hashem, his actions, his good deeds. The uh the rule is that no foreign thoughts should enter your mind. This was the mile of Rab Shim and his friends. And when Rabioi diverted his mind even a little bit, Rab Shiman gave him rebuke. The third is the forehead. In the forehead, there shouldn't be any harshness. It should be like the forehead of goodwill of um even if you find people who are angry, you should assuage their anger
