so good evening everybody it's so wonderful to be back here at the torch Center for moster Mondays and we are going to finish up with the summary of the last topic that we did for I think five or six classes we spoke about alacrity which means resumed getting things done not prep not procrastinating not pushing things off but getting into a mode where where we we just we get things done so we're gonna finish up with that and then we're gonna start a with that and then we're gonna start a brand new chapter chapter ten in the Rampal and MC lattice area on page 161 so let's first read the summary of chapter nine there are two main factors that prevent the person from acquiring the traitors result like we said alacrity or you know not not pushing things off and not not not letting things fall to the wayside and that is one is the desire for physical comfort and relaxation and pleasure okay so when and relaxation and pleasure okay so when someone says you know I just want to take a Sun Tan I just want to I want to eat more food so all of these types of desires of pleasure and with physical pleasures and relaxation comfort delay us from doing this was you know should I go Darvin or should I just get another ten minutes of sleep you know it's this desire for comfort versus going and doing the Mitzvah of talking Tasha
