0:07 We do not look at the beauty of creation. This beauty that is in creation - we forget it, instead of being alone with Hashem Himself, falling in love with the Creator Himself, "its inside is lined with love." to the inner part of our love for Hashem, blessed be He, to go out under the sky, speak with Hashem, pray to Him, to hear the sound of the chirping of the birds, the flowers, the trees, to look at the beauty of the colors, to rejoice in Torah, to rejoice in Hashem, to rejoice in mitzvos, to rejoice in life, to rejoice in looking at the sky and seeing twinkling stars, to rejoice in simple things, in seeing the trees, in seeing the flowers, in hearing the sound of the birds, in reading a verse or two with a settled mind.
0:51 Days that a person lost in emptiness, in vanity, in confusion - will not return. There is nothing to be done. This is "the wise man's eyes are in his head." A person who is wise is happy every day, no matter what. However hard it is, there are many reasons to be in the greatest joy there is.
1:18 What you read with joy, you will never forget. The holy Arizal would learn. He would repeat things several times - he would repeat with joy. From this he would remember the learning. What you repeat several times will never be forgotten by you if you are in joy. If you repeat in sorrow, in sadness, even if you repeat a thousand times, you will remember nothing. When there is no joy, there is no memory. No joy - nothing.
1:43 No joy - no Torah. May everyone go with this understanding, and he will suddenly see how he did an action that he will suddenly see Mashiach came because of him. Do you know what the beauty of the coming of Mashiach is? When Mashiach comes, everyone will see how he was there when Mashiach Tzidkeinu came. You brought, you acted, you did. They will see the teshuvah of some simple Jew. They will see the tefillah of some simple Jewish woman, from the depths of the depths, who prayed, and her prayer rose to Heaven.
2:12 May everyone be in the greatest joy there is, may nothing weaken you, may nothing break you. And we are heroes - "Who girds Israel with strength." And the Holy One, blessed be He, is with us and will not forsake us, and will never forsake us.
