What’s said in this shiur

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

Every one of us throughout our day are faced with tremendous temptations in the area of Shemiras Einayim. When we're walking on the street, when we’re at work, when we're on the computer, everywhere we go, there are challenges and temptations in the area of Shemiras Einayim. And we're all looking for what's the עצה, what piece of advice can we give ourselves to be able to overcome the temptations? What weapon can we use against this enemy? What do we have in our toolbox to be able to stand up against this challenge of Shemiras Einayim. And the Heiliger Kotzke Rebbe זכותו יגן עלינו tells us that we need two words and only two words in order to be able to overcome the challenge. When Yosef HaTzaddik was sent by Yaakov Avinu to go check up on his brothers who were shepherding the sheep out in Shechem, Yosef HaTzaddik bumps into an איש, which Rashi says was the Mal’ach Gavriel. Gavriel HaMal’ach asks Yosef HaTzaddik, What are you looking for? And Yosef HaTzaddik very famously answers, I am looking for my brothers. Says the Heiliger Kotzke Rebbe, the Mal’ach Gavriel was giving Yosef HaTzaddik the weapon necessary
