What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in BRI Breslov: The Breslov Research Institute’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
Okay. So, we're in lesson six. In lesson six, we did the first paragraph. Where the Rebbe starts off, you have to minimize your own honor and increase the honor of Hashem. Now, very simply put, when you do mitzvahs, you're increasing the honor of Hashem. Any mitzvah you do, you're increasing the honor of Hashem. And so on and so forth. And if you're looking for a position, that's no good. If you look for a position, you're looking for some place for yourself, and I I'm I'm important and I fit here and I do this or that, whatever the case is, so you're not minimizing your honor. Minimizing my honor is says I don't look for my honor, I look for the honor of Hashem. Or as the Ben Ish Hai says in lesson 12 in the second part, >> [snorts] >> he says, "Anytime you have to do something, it's really simple. Think about it. If there's an honor for Hashem in what I do, do it. If there's no honor for Hashem in what I do, don't do it. Do I need that extra piece of strawberry shortcake? Do I really need it? So on and so forth. There's so many different things that come up. It could be applied to any part of life. Okay? So, that's the idea. He says, "If you If you have If you maximize the honor of Hashem, then you merit to the highest levels. You merit to chuvah. I hope you got the right volume this week. Okay. Volume one. Yeah. Again? Wow. So, anyway, so there's an honor of Hashem. A person who minimizes his own honor and he honors Hashem, so then he merits to the honor of Hashem. The honor of Hashem will rest upon that person.
