Emet Inspire - Rabbi Binyamin Yuhanan - Pirkei Avot

What’s said in this shiur

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

[Music] Welcome back to this week's Emmed Inspire. There's a statement in Perk Avod. Everyone whom the spirit of his fellow man is at ease has the spirit of God at ease with him. That means if you want to know is Hashem happy with if you want to know is Hashem happy with you, all you need to look at is are people happy with you? And that is a good gauge. If people are upset at you, if people are disappointed, if people are hurt by you, God forbid, then it's likely that Hashem is not happy with you. Even if you do all the mitzvot between you and God, but if you don't treat you and God, but if you don't treat God's children with respect, then Hashem is not happy with you. However, there is one time when this is not precise and that is when your uh opponent has negative character traits. That means let's say someone is by nature a means let's say someone is by nature a negative person and then he looks at you in a negative way as well. And now you see that he's not happy with you. Does it mean that God is not happy with you? No. If you look at a negative person, don't feel bad. It's not about you. That means that we have to be careful when we look at people. We have to keep in mind that their self-esteem is based on how others treat
