Betachan Valiyev, 1686, Yoyim Revi, Bishabes, Parshas Bhai.
Today's Sheer has been generously sponsored as a source for brochain at Slochah.
The source of lemurata and chisik of all the listeners should bez'ashem send them brochain
at Slochah in everything that they do.
We are talking about how a person attaining different levels of Betachan is a life-long
Sometimes a person has higher levels and sometimes a person has lower levels.
Every level of Betachan brings Yeshua's.
Every level of Betachan brings a person closer to their banishlele.
It is a very powerful story with a Bchainvaliyev, that he was once sitting with the
Vilna Gain and a few other Talmidim and he wasn't feeling well.
So he had some sort of healing material around his neck to help him feel better.
And the conversation was the Vilna Gain was talking about Betachan and he was discussing
it and a Bchainvaliyev felt that now he had such a high level of Betachan.
He didn't have to put this thing around his neck anymore and he took it off.
The discussion continued and the Vilna Gain started talking about other things and
a Bchainvaliyev realized that his level of Betachan was not where it was before and he put
back on the medicine around his neck.
This story is brought in all his shura-chelik bays on the Tofkov patas and you see from
here a very powerful thing, that a person is not always on the same level.
Sometimes a person feels more Betachan and sometimes less and you also see from the story
that Betachan has to be something that you constantly work on.
Because even though Bchainvaliyev was sitting right there and the Vilna Gain had just finished
discussing Betachan but once he switched the topic he got a little weaker and now Bchainvaliyev
had to go back to his original hijdaadlus.
Betachan is something that needs constant work, again and again every single day thinking
about it, talking about it, internalizing it.
That's how a person is able to live with Betachan.
And if for a Bchainvaliyev, a matter of a few minutes doesn't say clearly in the story
how long it was but it definitely wasn't a significant amount of time.
Within a few minutes the fact that he switched topics made him change his level of Betachan
and now he had to do the hijdaadlus again, the same should give us chizik in our Betachan.
We have to realize that we're not perfect and it takes effort and sometimes will be better
and sometimes will be less.
The main objective is that we should be working on it and the more we work on it the more
we will grow, the closer we will get to the goal to ultimately feel real Betachan.
But a person shouldn't get down if they feel like they're putting in the effort and
they don't seem to see results.
Every bit of Betachan changes your perspective.
Every bit of Betachan moves a person closer to the goal.
You might not see immediately the results.
You might not see the results in the Yeshua immediately and you might not see the results
in your attitude immediately.
But you have to understand that the impact is enormous and slowly but surely level by
level, effort by effort, to attain real Betachan.
