0:00 Honored Rav, thank you. Thank you for all that you do for the Jewish people. We try with love to do good, to shine the light, and we fight the darkness. What can be done for you and for the whole Jewish people? Where are you sending me from here? - Sending you to discover all the treasures hidden within you. - How will I do that? - It is through tefillah: that you go off alone every day to Hashem, blessed be He, and lift your eyes to the heavens. You bring all of creation to its purpose. You are talking with Hashem. That is the highest moment in creation, the most exalted moment, when you lift your eyes to the heavens and ask the Holy One, blessed be He: what is my role here in the world? You begin to speak with Him and tell Him from the heart, from your heart, everything you are going through. That lifts you to the highest there is, and in that moment you fulfill the purpose for which you were created.
0:33 And then you will be able to attain the true purpose here in the world. And from there the Holy One, blessed be He, will already begin to set apart a path for you from the root of the soul. We need to transform this world and bring this world to a better world. This whole world is one big lie - everything is a lie. We will see the truth that we see the absolute truth. Because seeing the truth - that is a distorted truth. The whole world - everyone shouts, the truth is with me. Everyone has built himself an imagination that he calls truth. By that he judges and lives in the world.
0:59 But absolute truth is the cleanest truth there is. That is a truth which one merits to attain only through investigation, and searching, and inquiry, and listening, and self-nullification. That is the absolute truth. We will speak to Hashem, blessed be He, and pray that this world becomes a better world, purer, and all the systems - everything will be one. There will be no disputes, there will be no hatred; there will be laws and judgments that are good and set right, upright before Hashem. Truth and peace.
