This Torah class is brought to you by Torahanytime.com The McGillah paints for us the portrait of a man who had everything, but he felt he had nothing. How many roshas we know had a role. He was extremely wealthy. The Apostle says, quite archaic arrived but not. The glory of his riches and the multitude of his children. He had power, he had influence, he had prestige. The king elevated him above all the ministers, people bowed down to him in the streets. He fashioned himself as a deity and he demanded that everyone should see him as a God as well. But there was one man, one Jew who refused to bow down to him. So, how man said, the Khalsa and Nanu Shauveli, all of this is worth nothing to me. Because I found one person in the entire world who refuses to bow down to me. Imagine, he has wealth, family, honor, authority. He has it all and he says, it is all worthless to me. Why? Because there's one detail in my life that does not align with my well.
You could not sleep at night because one Jew refused to give him COVID. How man was wallowing a misery because Morachai will not grant him the COVID he believes he deserves. How ridiculous. And yet, how familiar. People can live surrounded by blessings. They have wealth, they have naxas, they are bark Hashem healthy. But if one minor detail does not go their way, if one person is shul, does not give them the COVID they think they deserve, if they see someone else enjoying life, then suddenly they fall apart. They say, life is terrible. Nothing is going right. How sad. How man said, the Khalsa and Nanu Shauveli, the literal interpretation of the word Chava is equal. So what was Haman saying? This life is not equal to me? He should have really said, the Khalsa and Nanu could die. Why Shaba? But perhaps the idea is, what Haman was saying, the Khalsa and Nanu Shauveli,
this hardship that I'm going through is not equal to me. This is not match my expectations. This is beneath me. I deserve better than the life where even one person defies me. Haman said, if life is not perfect, it's worthless. But a Jew lives the opposite way. A Jew says, the Khalsa and Shauveli. Whatever Hashem gives me, my family, my finances, my struggles, my challenges, it is all Shauveli. It all fits me. It matches me perfectly. It is tailor-made for my Nashama. This life is precisely calibrated for who I am and what I need to become. When a person lives that way, they have inner peace. They have Menukha Sanefash. Dovra Melak says in Tehilam, Shivisi Hashemla Negli Summit. I placed Hashem before me constantly. Grimatically, he should have said, something I have placed. Something I have placed. Why Shivisi?
So one saw a beautiful idea. Shivisi comes on the word the Shtavas, equilibrium, balance, emotional steriness. Shivisi Hashem, when Hashem is before me constantly, I live with inner alignment. I live with the media of a Shtavas. I am not thrown off balance by every slight. I am not inflated by every compliment, nor am I shattered by every insult. I am Shauvel, I am steady. A person without betachem, a person without placing Hashem in the center of their lives, lives on a roller coaster. Up when praised, down when slided. A person with a Shtavas lives anchored. Haman had everything, but no equilibrium. One detail out of place, and the entire world was worthless. Khairakh also had everything. Khazal say, he was extraordinarily wealthy. Rakhvi Khairakh, he had diechles, he had prestige, he was a respected leader.
But he decided to launch a rebellion against Moisha Rabayno. Why? Because he wanted something that was not his. Up when praised, he also wanted the Kuhuna. He wanted someone else's role, someone else's life. He was living with the attitude of Vakhalze and Nenu Shauveli. If I don't have that, then nothing to have matters. That is the tragedy of comparison, the tragedy of entitlement, the tragedy of living with Adash Tavas. Haman said, if one thing is wrong, everything is worthless. And Yid says, if Hashem gave it to me, then this is perfect for me. When we internalize, Shavicia Shemla Negities Summit, we are declaring that our emotional balance comes from knowing that Hashem runs every detail of our lives. No person can harm me if it was not the creep from above. And no insult can diminish my worth. My challenges are Shauveli.
It's something that will ultimately make me stronger and help me achieve my goals and my tackless in this world. And now we know, have a wonderful day.
