You Always Have to Be Extremely Positive, No Matter What
He wanted to know more about the book, and I hesitated. (I was ready to invite him to my Vaad!) But I saw the interest, he was extremely curious about it “how do you lick the system?” Humanity is at stake! People need to have an Achrayus to the whole: בְרִ יאָה world. You are a: חֵלֶק אֱלוֹקַ מִמַעַל piece of Hashem Mamash. Now, we need to be very careful in our speech, in our assessments. We can easily fall into negativity. Right now, I have a situation in my life where I need a Refua (from a Roiz). There are many different ways of looking at it. There are many negative thoughts coming in my direction that are very strong. I may need to address certain things, but somehow there has to be a side to me that is an Akshan (stubborn). No! Everything’s great! (Baruch Hashem, at this point it’s gone already). And it’s the same thing with everything. It’s a war. You always have to be extremely positive, no matter what! That’s Bitachon, and also Ayin Tova. See good in the worst Matzav (“no, it’s fine”). See good in yourself. It’s hard work, to be a R' Pinchos Koretzer. NOBODY’S BAD! EVERYONE’S GOOD! Nobody’s really, really, really bad. And the Eibishter does everything L'tovah. Rabiner Hirsh is loaded with Pesukim where Dovid sees good in bad. He’s full of that. And he has no fear (“everything will straighten out”). And when he did an Aveira, he said “Now I will be Zoche to: בְמָקוֹם שֶבַעֲלֵי תְּשוּבָה עוֹמְדִ ים אֵין צַדִ יקִים גְמוּרִ ים יְכוֹלִין לַעֲמוֹד ברכות לד ב the greatness of a Baal Teshuva which is even greater than a pure Tzaddik!
רש"י בתהלים עה"פ מְהֻלָּל אֶקְרָּא ה' וּמִן אֹיְבַי אִוָּּשֵׁעַ (יח ד ) בהלולים אקרא ואתפלל לפניו תמיד כלומר אף לפני התשועה אני מהללו לפי שבטוח אני שאושע מאויבי .
