What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mendel Kessin’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

summarizes, you know, the the whole concept of checklist. That's really what it's about, you know, uh it summarizes these are the items that you need to think about when you're going to learn. Okay? You didn't think mission the six things of the six items of a mission. Okay. Okay. You could do that next time. Yeah. Six. But this is all the ideas that emerge from. It's amazing you know uh when you go through that really know very well. You obviously there's enormous. So I would suggest to look it over and really remember it. You know this stuff has to be automatic soon as you look at day one case conduct principle essential conditions derivation and variations of conditions has to be automatic you know look in the end everything depends on to what level you want to know Torah really what it's about some guys would say hey what do I need all this stuff for you know it's the point you know point I mean you know what I They just say God and have them good time. But if a person wants to really clean that once he wants to know it at a real level of depth, this is the way to go. So uh it's a commitment is up to the person. You know remember when I told you once they asked a crime can I answer you how do you remember everything and the answer but I can because I want to what he was simply saying is I that's my commitment I want to know most people don't want to know they just want to learn but they don't really care to knowing wanting to know is a different level than just wanting to learn. You see, and wanting to know is an inferior level to wanting to master.
