0:01 A collection of sayings, pure teachings and foundations of life said by the mouth of my teacher the Gaon HaYanuka, shlita, may Hashem keep him and give him life. "A person is permitted to despair only on one condition - that he knows and believes that he will be saved." "Your true good and joy is here and now; do not expect it at a distant time."
0:28 "When a person is happy, he arouses the Creator's will to make him happier still." "A person who holds himself dear here is also held dear in Heaven." "When it is hard for you, do not lower your hands; when it is hard for you, lift your head."
0:57 "When you look at the heavens, pride will be cancelled from you, and then all the difficulties will be cancelled from you too." "Every day that you live, imagine that it is your last day in the world, and then you will use the day properly." "A person's body does not end at the tips of the fingers, but continues into the body of his fellow, who is at the end of Creation."
1:26 "When you see a Jew, pray that Hashem should grant you to love him." "Because of one person the Holy Temple was destroyed, and because of one person it will be built." "Remember that man was created in the image of G-d, and one must honor every person as he is." "No one does the Creator a favor by serving Him."
1:50 "The Creator can save you in an instant; He is only waiting to hear the true voice from within your heart." "The better you think of the Creator, the more He will do good for you and have mercy on you." "Never say 'it could have been better for me,' but 'it could have been worse for me, and Hashem, blessed be He, saved me from it.'" "How good that you want; Hashem, blessed be He, wants to give you much more than that."
2:23 "All the good and joy you have is from the Creator, blessed be He; so how can one not love the One who gave you all this?" "The purpose of Creation is to praise and laud the Creator." "Just as a person believes that in the morning there will be sun, so he should believe that the Creator, blessed be He, will do good with him and save him."
