Bitachon4Life Shiur 1711 Semichah Part 11 Negate

0:00Betach'n for life, sheer 1711, Yoyim revib, Bishabes, Pasha's truma. Today's sheer has been generously sponsored as a squs for Hatslachah. The squs of Limaratayan, Chizik of all the listeners, Shudbaezu Hashem sent them Hatslachah and Brakhah in everything that they do. We are giving examples where we can exercise the understanding of Einoid Malvaday. And the simplest one, which means not that necessarily it's simple, just the one that steers us in the face all the time, is the concept of nature. Many people say, well, you have to go Bidarach'at'evah. It's a very common phrase, which is essentially a nicer way of saying, you don't believe in the Rebenish level. That's really what you're saying when you say, well, you have to go Bidarach'at'evah. Unless your point is how a person should do hishtadlas.

1:03Because hishtadlas is dependent on nature, because that's the essence of hishtadlas. The essence of hishtadlas is you do an action that naturally can bring out the results that you're trying to attain. But the hishtadlas doesn't impact the outcome like we said many times. It's just a responsibility that you have to do. And that responsibility is that you have to do what's considered normal, not because that's necessarily what's going to happen. Just that's my responsibility what I have to do. So that term that's thrown around, well, naturally, Bidarach'at'evah, this what's going to happen, is simply a very misguided term at best. So that's the first thing we try to uproot. The attitude called Dharach'at'evah. The natural attitude. It should not be part of how we approach situations in life. Of course, from hishtadlas, from an action perspective, yes.

2:06But from every other perspective, not, if we're getting concerned about something, if we're worried, if we're stressed, if it's based on a natural situation that we're in, we're demonstrating a lack of an understanding of an animal of our day. Because their banishlem is not bound by nature. He is nature. He does nature. He can change nature. He can manipulate nature because he's nature. Nature doesn't really exist. That's one message, one foundational message of the first anti-moment. No matter what situation you're in, no matter how the natural odds are stacked against you. Smecha means I don't think about it. I might have to do a shhtadlas, but from an attitude perspective, from an expectation perspective, I don't think about it.

3:07The banishlem is the only force that exists in my life. I act and feel according to that attitude. I daven. I rely according to that attitude. That attitude is the way I live. That is one very powerful place. That the anti-moment plays a role. Nature is not my guiding light. It's only Haka Deshbar.
