We learn out the Midas Anavah from the sun. The Maharam Shif explains (Gitin 36b) that when the moon went to Hakodosh Boruch Hu complaining that there cannot be two equal lights in the world, and that the moon should be the great light, the sun remained quiet. There are seven times "הבל" for the seven levels of Gehinom. If one occupies himself with things of "הבל", he will end up in Gehinom. What is the antidote? "שיעמל תחת השמש" one should toil beneath the sun be humble so that Hakodosh Boruch Hu will help you defeat the Yetzer Hara.
