summarizes you know the the whole concept of checklist that's really what it's about you know uh it summarizes these are the items that you need to think about when you're going to learn okay you didn't M the six of the m the six items of a mish okay you could do that but this is all the ideas that emerg from it's amazing know when you go through that you know very well so I would suggest to look it over and really remember you know this stuff has to be automatic soon as you look at there you are case principal essential conditions derivations and variations of conditions has to be automatic you know look in the end everything depends on to what level you want to know Torah it's really what it's about some guys would say hey what do I need all this stuff for you know what the point you know point I mean you know what I need they just see go have good time but if a person wants to really clean that ter once he wants to know at a real level of depth this is the way to go so uh every commitment is up to the person you remember what I told you once how do you remember everything and he CU I want to what he was simply saying is I that's my commitment I want to know most people don't want to know they just want to learn but they don't really care to know knowing wanting to know is a different level and just wanting to learn you see and wanting to know is an inferior level to wanting to master that's I got to know something
