Unlocking Inner Peace: The Path to a Mistake-Free Life of Joy and Tranquility (Emunah & Bitachon)

What if achieving peace, preventing mistakes, and cultivating joy were all within your reach? I invite you to explore an attribute that holds the key to such an abundance of goodness - inner peace. Inspired by the case of Moshe Rabbeinu, a great tzaddik who made an error in judgment due to anger, we delve into the intimate connection between anger and mistakes. We consider the implications of a peaceful state of being, where one acts systematically, absorbs knowledge calmly, and sails through life's waves with tranquility.

Drawing from Maharal's exploration of the waters of strife, we embark on a journey to uncover the secret to achieving total peace - absolute trust in Hashem. We discuss how such unwavering faith can lead to a mistake-free, joy-filled life. Sharing practical advice on cultivating this trust, we explore the teachings of Chovos halavavos share habitachon, the fourth shar. We learn to internalize that everything happens according to Hashem's perfect plan, an understanding that breeds total peace and joy. So join us, and discover a life of inner calm, free of errors and filled with endless pleasure.

There is one attribute, one Mida, that, if acquired, will bring Ka-Moma Los Tovos. So many great goodies by the wayside. And we begin today's journey with the brutal reality that the halakos of the purification of previously impure vessels, turning them kosher, cashering them, was not delivered to us by Moshe Rabbenu and says Rashi, because B'alich l'alkaas, b'alich l'altoas, that Moshe Rabbenu, a great saddik, who the Almighty, would hold a magnifying glass on his character to examine his actions, k'huta saira with exactness. Therefore, at his level, he showed kaas, he showed anger and therefore he aired. He forgot this halacha. And it's not even the first time. What are we to make of it? But we know that Shemu Nuhamurim and Moshe said, by the waters of strife, that O'Rebels showed a bit of anger. Therefore he aired in his judgment and says Rabbenu, we see from here that it's a cause and effect, there's a function here that if one is even in the proximity of anger l'alkaas, well, out the other side comes mistakes. Well, we can infer from here let's flip it on its head, let us put in there the cause. Well, total peace, total manu chahashkit vovetach, all goodness, if you can find total shalom, well then out the other side would become Mahilos Tovos, and everyone knows if someone is totally in inner peace. They act with such a methodical approach to different topics. They learn with Shalva, they learn with peace. And how can we acquire total inner peace that we so badly want? Well, maharal and one of his famous treatises on the waters of strife. He says I'll clarify to you what the sin of the main mariva was. He says people say it was anger. People say he hit the rakshimunu amurim. People say that it was ya'an kiloya minu. Because Moshe Rabbenu, the pausik, says he didn't trust in Hashem. He says it's all the same thing. A person comes into anger when he doesn't have full trust in Hashem. And in a spot where a mensch has total emunah and betachan in the Almighty out the other side is total shalom, total peace and an added bonus. One doesn't make mistakes. They do what the Almighty thinks is right. What does Hashem want from me? Because the only thing that matters to them is Hashem's will, because he is somebody who has total emunah shalema. If we can be ba'alik la'al minuha, ba'alik la'al emunah, ba'alik la'al betachan, well then we will have a total error, free life packed with simcha sahayim. That's our Avodah. How is this done? I'd imagine learning Chobos halavavos shahabitach on the foreshar, over and over and over. Understanding why nothing can happen to you unless the Almighty was gozer it, knowing that if you internalize that everything's from above, that Hashem has a perfect plan for you, that nobody can hurt you, nobody can lay a finger on you, nobody can steal a scent from you, unless the Almighty was gozer that and that is perfect and wanted and in your best interest, well then you are ba'alik la'al emunah and ba'alik la'al betachan. With this reality and living in this proximity to these meadows will equal the effect of perfect peace and simcha.
