Business advice from Rabbi Nachman

The speaker begins by announcing a class on anxiety, emphasizing its spiritual roots and methods to overcome it. He uses the analogy of bread-making—10 steps of cleansing—to explain that spiritual growth requires purification before reaching higher states. Life, he argues, should be a continuous meditation, where every moment—marriage, struggles, or business—is connected to God’s light. The core teaching from Rabbi Nachman focuses on "looking": vision consists of direct and reflected light, meaning what you focus on determines your reality. If you focus on good, you attract good; if on negativity, you attract more problems. Trust in God is akin to clear vision, creating vessels for blessings and abundance, while trusting in people leads to disputes and curses. Satisfaction is crucial—blessing God in contentment attracts more blessings, whereas dissatisfaction leads to spiritual blindness and a downward spiral. The speaker connects this to the placebo effect: belief shapes outcomes, so fear attracts fears, and trust attracts bounty. He advises working on oneself rather than trying to change others, as a mirror reflects one’s own state. Ultimately, he urges living with high consciousness, above anxiety, and seeing every challenge as a vessel for growth.

Toba de Vanele, Shabar. Also the success was Rata Shemu Florida, we should have any cases of COVID should go down, and Rata Shemu shouldn't have any lockdowns and Hatslacha for the governor around the census. I should help him. He is very helpful with the Jewish people, he's a very God-faring person, Shemu Shablassam, and everything he does. Okay, Tuesday nice class is going to be a class on anxiety, how to conquer anxiety, the spiritual causes of anxiety, methods to conquer anxiety, because I know today people are going through tremendous amounts of anxiety, and we're really really going to that. So today's class is a really really amazing class. It's going to be on less than 76 in the Kuthe Moran, and we're also going to do the Kuthe Khalaqat, the Kuthe Khalaqat on business dealings, but we're not and dead, we're not, it was we're not going to cycle. He basically took, we're not going to advise them, please take a Khalaqah, take the Shokhanaq, and expand on it. Give us the kabbalah of the Shokhanaqah, give us the reasons for everything, give us the the backbone, give us the hidden in this behind everything. So where did he took a basic Khalaqah, and he took a Khalaqah, and he really really expanded that, and everything al-Halakha has a whole different connection to something else completely. Like for example, we gave the analogy of breaking bread, the breaking bread itself, when we say Hamotsilachamin Harids, when we say Hamotsilachamin Harids, it took 10 steps to make bread. This is why we say Hamotsi, we put 10 fingers on the hands, and we blessed the hands without 10 fingers, because it represents 10 steps to get to make bread for you bread. And these 10 steps are for separating, cooking, separating the field, we're knowing all the 10 steps, but the bottom lines are not, we're not installing us, that these 10 steps resemble the processes of Biroor. Biroor means refinement, that means when we start coming closer to Hashem, there's always a separation, good from bad, there's a lot of cleansing going on. We don't just show up on the big day, here we are. Before we get to any spiritual high, there was a lot of you serene, a lot of cleansing that we had to go through. So just like bread, in order to make bread, Hamotsi, the perfected whole object was after the 10 steps of constant cleansing, the same thing, what we want to get to, what we want to get to, first you have to get cleansed, and you have to be purified, and this resembles bread. You say, "Come on, Sylaq, my regards, you're thinking about Chuava, that's me doing Chuava, these are the 10 steps." Or, "Azama in the morning, waking up in the morning, gave a class on how a person should wake up in the morning, he should awaken the dawn, he should awaken the good points to himself." So the way, "Azama is a lesson on self-esteem and finding the good points, this is exactly how you should wake up in the morning." So, "Razaka in the morning is a Zama." So that is where you're going to take content on business. But every one of this is a world of its own. It's a world of its own. One class is a world of its own, and the greatness is to be able to take the physical and connected to the spiritual. That means everything is a meditation. Everything becomes a meditation. It's not like I don't meditate five minutes a day in some app, and I check out, and this is my meditation. No, my life is a meditation. My whole life is a meditation. My marriage is a meditation. Everything is a meditation. Because you're putting, you're seeing God's light in that, and that's the meditate. You're focusing on the light of God in that situation, and then everything becomes one. And then everything, and that's how you build big arrests. The problem is, is when we disconnect the life force from the object. This is where all the concepts of Chuava control. And these negative emotions come from disconnecting to the source. But if you're connected to the source, everything is being created as we're talking. This is the whole point of being connecting to everything. Seeing everything is one. Seeing a struggle as building a vessel. Seeing as a problem having a person having a failure as a chance to create a new vessel or a chance to prove to God that he's loyal to him. Everything is one. Everything is one. It's very, very important. And this is the way Ramnaxman wanted us to live. He wanted us to live in this very, very high consciousness. That don't let this world, don't let this heavy world stay light in this heavy world. Be above. Be above. You don't have to get caught up in the world of fright and anxiety. You know that. It could be way, way above. This is the whole message of Ramnaxman's living in a completely different consciousness living with confidence. No one went to battle, no one went to surrender, no one went to run, no one went to return, no one went to cry, no one went to smile. There's time for everything. As Shlomo Hamelah says, there's not one time. It's not. Here you are, here's your life in Zaidizan. That's not how every moment is a different moment that has to be connected to a different situation. You're crying out to Hashem in prayers. Another day, you're thanking him. Another day, you don't even have strength to talk. Another day, you're just dancing. Another day, it's a new energy in the air, and a new way to connect. Is it good or is it bad? It is what it is. It's that energy you have to connect to at that moment. This is why this whole partial that's coming up now. Ray, I'm blessing down. We're going to hold a whole different tour on that also. God is giving you a blessing and a curse, but the light comes down without meaning. You're the one that gives it meaning. That's about it. That's the Chidush of the Chidush. The biggest thing, if I just told you, God does not change, and light comes down without meaning. I mean, if you're in a synagogue, and you have 12 different windows, and one windows yellow, one windows red, and one windows green, and all of a sudden, you see a green light, or a yellow light, it's only because the sun is hitting the window. That's green, it's causing that light. The same thing. We are the window, and we can decide what the light means to us. Bottom line. We can decide what that light means. The light has no, God's light is undifferentiated. There's no light to it. We create it, and we give it meaning. Bottom line, that's what it is. That's the story of our lives. So really, when we're mad at the world, we have to look at the mirror. When we're mad at our wives, we have to look at the mirror. The basically the greatest about a mirror, it's so simple. It just reflects who you are. And I've seen this concept. When I've completely changed myself, everything else changes. When I haven't changed myself, and I'm depending on other people's to change, that's where the real cause of pain comes in this world. So lesson 76, before we got on a tangent on this concept. Lesson 76 from Nakhman Taga says something amazing. And everybody's into this love attraction. We're all into it. We're gonna talk about a little bit about this concept of love attraction. But what is Ramnachman saying before? He said this two inches of the years ago. Ramnachman says here, "Behold, looking is comprised of a direct light and a reflected light." Vision spreading outwards is a directed light. When it arrives back intended, it comes back as a reflected light. Stand very simple. I look at you, it reflects the back of me. If I look at, if I focus on good things, it's focused back on me. If I focus on the negative, the same thing. Light reflects exactly what you focus on. What you focus on is what you feel, bottom line, and that determines your state. The essence of visual perception is a power of moving and spreading outwards. The impact on the observed object and account of this, the impact of the power of vision bounces back to the eyes. Thus we see visual perception is comprised of direct light and reflected light and the power of vision spreads. So basically, Ramnachman's telling us here that whatever light a person, whatever he focuses on, is what he gets. He creates a vessel by looking, looking itself creates a vessel. The main way Ramnachman says, saying no, too, that looking creates a vessel. Namely, dimension in time. Before a person sees an object, it lacks dimension in time. But by looking at it, he acquires them both. This is what our sage has taught. He made you suffer and let you go hungry and he fed you mana. Because one who sees what he eats cannot be equated to. When we see here, that means that blind are never satisfied because they can't see it. A blind person is never satisfied because he can't see the food. This is a very, very important concept that when we're not satisfied in life, it's because we're spiritually blind to that situation. If you recognize that, that everything in life, everything in life, if it's a physical thing, you will never be satisfied with it unless you're more spiritual. The more spiritual you are, the more you're satisfied with physical things. But the less spiritual you are, the more blind you are, the more lack of satisfaction you need. That's the correlation in life. A guy who's a person who works, he keeps showing my heart, he's married. He's satisfied with his wife. But a guy who's not spiritual, he gets married. How can he be satisfied? What's keeping him satisfied in his life? As our sage just say, stolen waters are sweet. If he's not satisfied, what do you think he's gonna get satisfied? So spirituality may be, makes you satisfy. Eating. If I know what food is, I know there's an equation. Satisfaction doesn't mean I have to stuck my face. Satisfaction means I this food gives me a certain amount of energy and my body can hold the certain amount of energy. If I eat too much, I'm going to be constantly exhausted. So the same thing will end life. The more spiritual you are, the more you're satisfied with things in life. Which the more blessing you'll be as the whole Pussuck is, a person should eat, be satisfied and bless God. And what happens when you bless God? God blesses you. So when a person's satisfied, he blesses God and then God blesses him. When a person's not satisfied, he doesn't bless God. So how does he get the blessing back? We understand that in concept, this is why the word Sova is a combination. Sova, the name of Sova is means satisfaction. It's a combination of God's name, Elohim and your Kidbavke in a very expanded form. So satisfaction is very, very important to say, thank you Hashem. I'm happy in the moment. I'm satisfied. This is the best way for a person to attract more blessings in his life. He's not even going to think about where the blessings came from. They're just going to come to him because in a state of satisfaction and he blesses God and when he blesses God, he attracts more. But when you're walking around with no satisfaction, nothing's good. You're not going to bless God. So what are things that happen? You're going to get, you're going to find more things you're not satisfied. Today your business is not good. Next thing you know, your marriage is not good. Next thing your kids are disrespecting you. Next thing you know, is satisfaction. The empty pit. So the more spiritual you are, the more satisfied you'll be. The more satisfied you'll be, the more blessed you'll be, the more blessed you're going to give to God. And that's going to create a more than abundant life for you. The reverse is true. So there's a very, very important of being the simpah, being happy, is being satisfied. And the way to greatest where to show that specifically we're going to talk about this concept of business is giving charity. Giving charity is a form of showing satisfaction. That's why he gave me so much that I'm giving away money. Instead of walking around saying, I don't have, nobody, I'm sure I'm this, I'm sure I'm this, that's not showing satisfaction. That's showing lack in poverty. We don't want to, we can't attract abundance in a poverty mindset. I hate to tell it to you. You can't attract a soulmate if you're in bankruptcy court emotionally. Imagine people going to bankruptcy court. And what are you thinking? You're going to get a bankruptcy court. Imagine me, I went to driving school six years ago. Who do you think was there? I mean, what do you think was there? Great drivers. The worst of the worst drivers. Because at that moment, I was a terrible driver. And what do you think ended up with? Not the elite. Terrible drivers. Bankruptcy court. People that have no know how to manage businesses. But that's not the time to get into business with them. But the same thing in life with, we get what we attract. That's what all the emphasis has to be on working on yourself, not on the outside world for this reason. So we're not contest. One who satisfied one who satisfied bless this guy. One who's not satisfied is blind. This is because somebody who cannot see likes definition. And it says here, right before we say putach et ya decha must be a herchegohir. So every single day, right? We open up our hands. So look, but first we do we do something first. We say everybody's eyes look up to you with hope. Then you give them sustenance. So with this putach et ya decha, I open up my hands, but the word the post at first saying first, I have to create that vision. That vision first creates the the direct vision causes the the other light to come down, the directed light and the reflected light. Then I can open up my hands and be a receiver. Would you say open up your hands and receive? No, I can't just open up my hands and receive without creating looking because looking is what creates the vessel. And looking itself is an aspect of trusting in God. This is the where Haram Nachman says it because and he gives us a definition between two different people. One person with trust, he could see very far away. He doesn't need to get close to the object. You ever see people that have a hard time seeing things? They need to get very close to the object to see it. I need to see it to believe it. But people with trust, they don't need to get close to the objects. They have a trust and they believe in it. They believe in it. And this is the difference between people who take action and people who take who are constantly waiting on the right moment to take action. If you just take action because at the end of the day when you have trust, you recognize this is a process anyway. This is not some end of the game prize that's going to come at the end of the rainbow. It's a process that the vessel constantly gets bigger and bigger as I go through the challenges and as I go through that. Very simple. You'll never, successful, will never spend time on waiting for the perfect moment to get going. They get going right away and they learn on the way. They just learn on the way because they have trust. And trust makes you make decisions and trust gives you vision. And this is the difference between a visionary. But Remnachman says, how do I attract things quicker to me? He's saying very simple. He's saying in this puzzle. Remnachman teaches that trusting God is the aspects of looking. Turning one's eyes to God and trust creates the required vessels of the dimension and time to which we receive Sheffa. From on high, just as one minds comprehends and contains an object through their properties and parameters. So to trusting in God is necessary definition to create the boundary, so which bounty and livelihood comes to him. Remnachman explains that Sheffa is constantly descending from on high, but it is without a vessel. It's constantly coming but without a vessel. The purpose of Hachman explains that Peter Hun's role in creating a vessel for Sheffa. The power of vision a person uses to concentrate on a bounty he seeks for which he'll draw is the aspect of direct light. When he infuses it with trust, what happens is this impacts and creates a reflected light and returns to him as a reflected light. You bounce a ball. You throw a ball at somebody, the ball comes right back to you. So we have to ask ourselves in business and situations, how much time do I spend looking up and how much time do I spend looking at people? How much trust in God do I have and how much trust in having people? And this is what the puzzle says. The one who trusts in God will be surrounded with mercy, but one who trusts in people will be cursed. Because the key to getting the dimension in time is to be able to create that vessel. And this is where Hachman says, "Los regarding business dealings." Then once you're not partnering it with a Gentile, so you shouldn't transgress. You should not mention the names of other gods. It can be understood from this lesson because what's going to happen, somehow you're going to trust in him. You're going to end up going to court and then you're going to have to swear in court by God's name. He's already telling you there could be a problem if there's no spirituality between the partners. You're going to end up going to court, you're going to end up sowing each other. But if you have this aspect of trust, two people are put together in a business deal. They both have trust. What happens? That spark gets elevated and good things are done. But if two people have no trust in God and they're all they're doing is worrying about control, paranoia, fear, etc. It's hard to screw each other. Then that spark eventually end up in court. And then in the court, you're going to end up swearing by in a secular court by God's name. Unfortunately, this is the formula. So this is where Shokhan Arch is giving us the direction. The person should rather do business with a Jewish person than that. Obviously, don't think that Jewish person is a business with a Jew. You're going to be safe from it. There's all kinds of Jews out there. And just because somebody's Jewish doesn't mean they're a hundred percent kosher. Doesn't mean that. We're far from that. But we want to look, we want to focus on spirituality and consciousness of the person. And there's non-Jews that are very, very spiritual. And they're very, very correct in everything. I hate to tell you. So sometimes it's really we're talking about the person. But here we're saying in Orchain, is you're going to end up, the end result is going to be. There's going to be a problem. You're going to end up in court, etc. As explained here, I'm not saying for I am, I am, for God is exalted yet, sees the lolly from the most high from afar. This is from a puss that unless 138. Before a thing is seen has no boundaries by looking at something engraved in one's mind through which it obtains a boundary. This corresponds to the greatness of trust. For trust corresponds to looking. All eyes hope for you. And we know by the way the same thing applies with fear. Because the more I focus on the fear, the more fear happens. As Job says, the thing that I fear came upon me. So how many people are today are so much fear they're actually attracting the problems that they're having. This is the placebo effect. The no-sebo effect. The no-sebo effect is the direct opposite of the placebo effect. That just people imagining symptoms, they end up developing symptoms. They're and then the whole test on this on cancer patients. that they gave them sugar and they told them it's chemotherapy. They tracked these clients throwing up, losing their hair, the same effects as cancer, because the body already produced based on the belief, which is unbelievable. So whatever you focus on is what you get. Bounty always descends above, but it's without a boundary in time. But Max is going to tell us here that the more trust you have, the more things you're going to attract, and the less you're going to depend on your own mind to figure it out. That means when I'm trusting in God, I'm going to already attract. The reason why I'm going into business in the first place is to exercise that. Just like you go to the gym, you're exercising, pulling and pushing and pulling, pushing and pulling. The reason for you to go to the gym is nothing more, but to get strength, etc. The same thing, the gym and business is an exercise and trust. That means that's what God gives you opportunities, where you have no clarity, where you're not guaranteed tomorrow, where business deals fall apart. What do you do now? That's where you need to focus on trust. That's where you need to focus. This is where you exercise trust, because when you're in a situation, remember, as Isaac just said, about the partial we just read, the lure of prosperity that God, unfortunately, we believe that the ultimate dying, my hands are the ones making the world. Be careful not to think that you're the one making the money. This could be the ultimate curse, but you see today that more successful people are, the more they drift away from God, because they start believing that they themselves are the cause of the money. But here, we're not saying the complete opposite. You have to always remain constant contact. Every time you get emails, who's the constant contact? You have to remain constant contact. You have to recognize your business. Forget about who's in your business, what you're doing, whether you're selling masks, you're selling tomatoes, or you're selling bread, or you're a caterer. The whole purpose of the business itself is just for God to give you light in that business. That doesn't mean that's the business that's going to give you that. You could be selling shoes to ice to ice, if you wanted to. It doesn't mean the business. We, sometimes we get married to businesses. We get married to be tried to, no, it shouldn't put you in this business. You want to be successful, put you in and it gives you to in that business. That's why you should never marry a business. Like you should never marry a stock. Sometimes people lose a lot of money, because they get emotional with their stocks. They get emotional with things. But at the end of the day, you have to look at the business as nothing more than an object with God. They God blesses. The way you receive that blessing is by completely living with trust. And the more you trust in God, the more you're creating this direct and reflected light. And that creates bounty to come to you at the time. It's exactly the power of attraction. The love of attraction. Exactly the love of attraction. I attract what I focus on. This is why the Jews in wilderness, the month did not come down once a month, Costco version. Every day, because God wanted them to have a constant contact to look up to them every single day. It didn't come. They had to look up. Tomorrow, it was not there every single day, because God also wants you to focus on having focusing on the blessing of today. He doesn't want you to think about tomorrow. He wants you to focus on today's task. And tomorrow, you're going to get a different task. He doesn't want you to all of a sudden accumulate and thinking, okay, if I accumulate enough, then I don't have to turn to you, God. I lose my connection with you. But if I know every single day, I have to look up to you. So when we get to this concept, when we get to this concept, when we think a little bigger instead of becoming victims, we start saying, "Create of the world, thank you for the constant contact." You didn't make me like a snake, then it's all the dust of the world and doesn't have to check up with you. Every single day, you're giving me this checkup calls, this wakeup calls, so I can practice focusing on you. And as I focus on you, the bigger the vessel I create. And once you get to this point, you will live anxiety-free. You will live anxiety-free. Something happens to business, okay? We're ready to do. Trust more. This is what we said before. You never want to tell a kid, you're stupid or you're smart. Oh, you didn't go to your. Oh, what a smart kid. Oh, he didn't do good. What happens if he doesn't do good? Oh, you're stupid now? No. What do we say? If a kid did well on the test, what do you tell him? You worked hard. That's why you got the test. You didn't. You got it bad grade. You're not anything. You didn't work as hard. So work harder and get the grade. There's no labels. The same thing with trust sometimes. Sometimes things go a little sour in our business because sometimes we're not focusing on our creator. So what do we need to do? Get the press to escape. Oh, we need to say, you know what? It looks like my vision, broken focus. I've been focusing on competitors, businesses, and I've not focused on my creator. I've not created that direct light and physical light. And believe me, I'm a businessman. I'm a businessman. I'm telling you, this works. Business is in spiritual. The only reason why you're in business, first place, is to. If I'm not. If I'm not in session, is to practice looking up to God. That is the only reason why you're in business. Is to create the constant every single day, looking up every single day, looking up to him, creating a new vision. And when you live like this, you get the fulfilling of the bracha. That God gives us every single day, that your Emona is reawaken every single day. A person gets a brand new day. He lives in that constant consciousness that every single day is a new day. And he believes that through his prayers, everything could change from one day to the next. I'm going to look at him Florida. We're at a thousand cases. Now we have 21,000 cases. In a blink of an eye, all of a sudden from cruise control to chaos. Go to show you everything could change in a blink of an eye. And he can go back to a thousand cases tomorrow. But look at the constant shift. In life. When you build trust, you have energy. Every single day is a brand new day, just like the mind. But when we don't have, we don't look up anymore. We start looking up, we get anxious, and we'll start looking down. And when you're in a good, it's true, but we're in a good mindset, we're looking up. We're happy. But when we're not in a good mindset, we're looking down. This is what we're not installing us here. And he says, just as he's a state of our ancestors, with the wilderness, the 40 years in the mind, they never liked anything. The only reason why, because we have to devote a business to you, because the only reason why we're in business is because we don't have enough pita hon because we lack enough trust that we have to create this. And for bounties, and this is what I'm not saying, bounties, always coming above. It's just coming without dimension and time. And when we look up, we're able to create that dimension and time exactly when we need it. So if you want to live like this, and you want to recognize, you want to attract something when you need it, the best way to attract it is through trusting, through creating that trust. But when one trust in God is very strong, one thereby creates a vessel and bounty. And when the and he receives the bounty from the merit of the trust. And it doesn't matter what business is in. God will put him in another business. You know how many times all of a sudden we had an issue with a big insurance company because we had so much volume. They're like, okay, we can't do your contract. No reason. And all of a sudden God gave me the idea to go into Medicaid and do other things. Oh, because of that, trusting, when you trust in God right away, okay, what's the solution? What's the solution? You become very resilient. 99% of your mind is on the solution versus a victim. Why is this happening to me? I give classes. I give charity. I can't believe this is happening to me. What's going on? No, this is not what we want. This is a self-pity. I need self-pity. You need self-pity right now in your life. What's that going to do for you? What does self-pity do for anybody today? It does nothing but exhaust you and get sympathy from people and nothing. Nothing comes out of that. No vessel, no light. And then you have to get out of the vehicle and say, first yourself, you put yourself in self-pity mode. Then you have to get out of self-pity mode and then you go back to focus. So it's an exhausting process. Getting into it. Now you have to psych yourself out of it. And then once you're out of it now, look at all this time that I wasted on self-pity. There's no time for self-pity. You have Bita Khan. Something's not working. Focus more on the Babi Cherebi. Many people came to the Babi Cherebi and they asked them, we're having problems with Parnasa. He says, I didn't tell you to do more business. I told you to trust more. The Babi Cherebi was always focusing on Bita Khan. Bita Khan. Bita Khan. Trust is because this is exactly what it is. This is exactly what creates bounty to time exactly when you need it. Worry stops this process. Anxiousness stops this process. Being depressed about money stops this process because you can't look. You can't look. Looking is trust in clarity. This is why we're a person who understands that. If you're not looking, imagine walking in the street and not looking up. Not looking. What are you going to, you're going to crash into people. You can cry. Walk in the street, not looking. Would you ever do that? You can crash into people. But when you look, you have clarity of vision. This is exactly-- and it says the only reason why. God puts us in certain situations. It's because He wants to enlarge in our vessels to give us methods on how to trust them. And He puts us in very difficult situations where you and your own Sechel cannot figure it out. It's only by believing in Him and that you see miracles that would have never come out before. How many tons has that happened to us? I have that tons of times. So what are you doing? If you know the formula works, you use the same formula. And also, why wait for things to get bad for you to use the formula? But I'm not going to say, is that what you do what you do in the end? In the beginning. What you do at the end, you should be doing in the beginning. It's a very deep concept. Don't wait until then. Do it in the beginning. And it says here, the Israelites in the wilderness were indeed sustained solely by trust, which corresponds to Manana that came down from them without any effort or business or dealing on their part. It was through the merit of Moshe. They gave them the dot and consciousness that the generation was the generation of dot. Because once the consciousness is there, you feel abundant, you attract. But if you're in a very low consciousness, the more the less I trust in God, the more I think I need to do more to make a living. But the more I trust in God, the more I focus on Him and the more I let go and the more I attract and the more I give. But you can see people, the more scared they are, the more they double their efforts, it's like a hamster on the wheel. It keeps on running. And they think, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, it's actually going against them. Because they're not of-- they're not-- they're the least people who are left in nature. They're left to Teva. Go ahead. You want to go kill yourself? You want to kill yourself? Go ahead. I'm going to leave you to Teva. Not that he punishes the person, but he leaves the person. The person does not trust in God. He leaves them to Teva. Here you go. You want nature? Enjoy nature. Enjoy nature. Enjoy the Biden's. Enjoy the Fauci's. Enjoy-- enjoy-- welcome. Enjoy this world of Teva. You're living in 2021 with Teva mentality? And nature mentality? Yes, you will be at Hindsiety. You will be at Hindsiety. And you will have no hope. This is the Teva mentality. But we don't have to live like that. We live on trust. Therefore, the only reason why you're in business in the first place is to build your trust. That's the only reason why. So that should be your mission statement. My business is there for me to build Bita Khan in Hashem. That's it. Take your eyes off the individual things. And this is not working. If something's not working, more trust. It focuses us always to go back to trust. Bita Khan. Bita Khan. Bita Khan. Bita Khan. When you do that, then the bounty comes to you. But remember, God wants to give to us. He wants to be successful. He believes in us. But he wants us to create a vessel. That's all he's asking for us. Create a vessel. Because if I give it to you without a vessel, it's not going to last. Imagine a person who's all day long thinking about themselves, begging God. God, I need to get married. If he gives it to them at that time, he doesn't know a person doesn't know marriage is all about giving, not about receiving. That person is going to receive a mindset. That he's asking for a partner marriage. He's going to be destroyed first round. There's no vessel. Going to a marriage with a receiving mindset, an expectation mindset, how you won't even last told the bus to Douglas it. The Tyson's in the bus to Douglas, right away. It's all about giving marriage. Person has no vessel to get married. There's no vessel. It's no cave. Because he's going in there the wrong way. So the same thing that God's given wanting to give to us. He wants to give to us. It pains him not to give to us. And this is why he gives us tough luck. Because he wants you to work on yourself so he can give to you so he can be happy and you can be happy. And it could stay with you. This is why we go through so much pain today. Because our vessels are not big enough. Unless you put yourself out of your own comfort zone and you create the vessel on your own, then God gives it to you. That's the law of attraction. That is the law of attraction. So again, stop thinking about your business, the people that they're, that's just a platform to Hashem provide for you. One day a customer could say yes. One day a customer could say no, it's all from Hashem. Stop thinking about the customers. Stop thinking about this. Stop getting involved in the details too much. You focus on Bita Khan. Obviously you do what you need to do. And then let go. And make sure a good judge of character at the end of your day. How was your day? How much control did you have? How much trust did you do in accounting? You know today from two to three, I forgot about, I didn't look up one time. Remember the whole purpose of all this exercise in business, from nothing says, is to establish trust. And that is creating, that is looking, looking up, creates the vessels to come down. Hashem helped us all, we should all spend more time trusting and letting things come to us versus forcing things to happen. Through anxiety and panic. Let it come to you through Bita Khan, like the man. And also the person has to stop losing his mind. Well, what's going to happen tomorrow? You had a good day today? That's today. Tomorrow is a whole different world of its own. That's another reason from the man that every single day has its blessing. You don't want to get up and all of a sudden think about tomorrow's blessing because then you stop from today's blessing. Or yesterday's failure should affect you today's production. How many times we bring yesterday and tomorrow into our days today? This is why it's very important to do business itself. Is an exercise in trust. So all you do is go into the gym, would you go to the gym? You don't go to the gym to drink a smoothie. You go to the gym to exercise your muscles. You're going to work. I'm going to Bita Khan. I have a. Today I'm going to Bita Khan at 9 o'clock and I'm going in and that's what I'm going to. I'm practicing my Bita Khan. Don't go to show, don't go to do it. And then disconnect that work and say, "Work is nothing to do with spirituality." That's where you can put it wrong. It's all one. It's all one. It's all sparks that have to be elevated back to our creator. I'm great day.

Summary:

The speaker begins by announcing a class on anxiety, emphasizing its spiritual roots and methods to overcome it. He uses the analogy of bread-making—10 steps of cleansing—to explain that spiritual growth requires purification before reaching higher states. Life, he argues, should be a continuous meditation, where every moment—marriage, struggles, or business—is connected to God’s light.

The core teaching from Rabbi Nachman focuses on "looking": vision consists of direct and reflected light, meaning what you focus on determines your reality. If you focus on good, you attract good; if on negativity, you attract more problems. Trust in God is akin to clear vision, creating vessels for blessings and abundance, while trusting in people leads to disputes and curses.

Satisfaction is crucial—blessing God in contentment attracts more blessings, whereas dissatisfaction leads to spiritual blindness and a downward spiral. The speaker connects this to the placebo effect: belief shapes outcomes, so fear attracts fears, and trust attracts bounty. He advises working on oneself rather than trying to change others, as a mirror reflects one’s own state.

Ultimately, he urges living with high consciousness, above anxiety, and seeing every challenge as a vessel for growth.
