We continue with our series on humility. Rav Wolbe, his sefer Aleh Shor (vol 1 page 134) talks about the concept of ladders of self-improvement. We find this, he says, in sefer Mesilat Yesharim , where Rav Moshe Chaim Luzzato cites a Gemara in Avoda Zara 20B that says, Torah brings to one being careful and being careful brings you to alacrity and so on. The Hovot Halevavot has ten gates which are also a ladder of sorts. Another of the ladders Rav Wolbe cites is the letter of the Ramban, the famous Igeret HaRamban , which is also a ladder. He tells us that the ladder starts with talking softly. Talking softly brings you to staying away from anger, staying away from anger brings you to humility, humility brings you to fear of God. And Fear of God brings you to be happy in your lot. From there, you come to the Shechina dwelling on a person. Wonderful ladder of the Igeret HaRamban. Many might not appreciate Rav Wolbe's outlook of this as ladder of the Ramban. As we said, the ladder really starts from humility. So this is a beautiful concept, how humility is the first step. And of course, you can't jump right into humility, so we'll go through it more in depth. The first thing the Ramban says, in beautiful words, is to תִּתְנַהֵג תָּמִיד לְדַבֵּר כָּל דְּבָרֶיךָ בְּנַחַת, לְכָל אָדָם וּבְכָל עֵת Accustom yourself to speak gently. All your words, to all people, and at all times. There are lot of alls in there. I once learned that the Ramban is trying to tell us, There are no exceptions here. All your words means every single word you say, to all people, even that nudgy guy, at all times. So even if I'm on my way to my daughter's wedding and I'm a little hassled, or I'm on the way to the airplane, slow it down. All people, all time, all your words. What is that going to do for you? וּבַזֶּה תִּנָּצֵל מִן הַכַּעַס, And this will protect you from anger, which is a most serious character flaw, which causes one to sin. Ok so let's say you got there. You spoke softly. Then, if you speak softly, you don't get angry. Rabbi Ades says, We see from here that your outside impacts your inside. Look how simple this. You're not angry yet, and you got yourself to use that low tone, which in itself is soothing and will protect you from getting angry. And once we are protected from getting angry, what happens next ? He uses beautiful words: Once you've distanced yourself from anger, תַּעֲלֶה עַל לִבְּךָ מִדַּת הָעֲנָוָה, The quality of humility will enter your heart. He says, humility is the best possible trait there is. The Ramban is telling us something very, very powerful: Anger, which stems from arrogance ( you only get angry because things don't go your way) is the antithesis of humility. Anger and humility can not coexist. It's like fire and water. When you take away the water, the fire will burn. When you take away the fire, the water will move. It's interesting that anger is compared to fire . The Zohar says, don't burn any fire in any of your dwellings on Shabbat - and the first fire is the fire of anger. And Humility is compared to water. It says, just like water travels downwards, humility is about going down. Fascinating! Fire and Water, anger and humility. Another interesting point is that the numerical value of מקוה Mikveh is one more than כעס /anger, because going to the mikveh absolves one of the trait of anger; it purifies. That means it's almost a natural reaction. He doesn't say, Remove the anger and then work on you're anava. His words are, וְכַאֲשֶׁר תִּנָּצֵל מִן הַכַּעַס, תַּעֲלֶה עַל לִבְּךָ מִדַּת הָעֲנָוָה When you distance (or save ) yourself from anger, humility will go up on your heart. Naturally , humility will into your heart. And now that you're humble, תַּעֲלֶה עַל לִבְּךָ מִדַּת הַיִּרְאָה, The Middah of Fear of Hashem will come into your heart. What was stopping you from fearing Hashem was Ga'ava ( Hey I'm in charge) which is the opposite of Yirat Hashem. Taaleh , you are elevated . This is not a regular ladder. This is an escalator . You put your foot on one step, and it moves you up to the next one. So your humility will cause your fear to go up. Why? Because now that you're no longer arrogant, you start paying attention. Where'd I come from? Where am I going? I am רִמָּה וְתוֹלֵעָה as frail as a maggot or a worm when alive, even more so in death. He continues, And who's going to judge you? When you start thinking about all these things, you'll be afraid of your Creator. You'll protect yourself from sin, and you'll be always happy with your lot because somebody who is arrogant always wants more. And then he says, When you continue to act with this trait of Anava, and you stand meekly in front of men and you're fearful from Hashem and from sin, אָז תִּשְׁרֶה עָלֶיךָ רוּחַ הַשְּׁכִינָה, וְזִיו כְּבוֹדָהּ, וְחַיֵּי עוֹלָם הַבָּא. The spirit of Hashem's presence will rest upon you and you'll live the life of the World to Come (I'll add in this world ) Unbelievable. The man that has humility is living in Gan Eden on earth. It's fascinating that the Ramban ends with the words, Read this letter once a week and neglect none of it. He says , Every day that you read this letter, Hashem will answer your heart's desires . People think this is some kind of magical segula : Read the letter of the Ramban and Hashem will answer your prayers. No. It says, as we've mentioned many times, that when a person is humble, Hashem answers his prayers. When a person is arrogant, Hashem doesn't answer his prayers. More than that, when the Shechina is in front of you, your prayers are answered easily. When you go to the Kotel, Hashem's Shechina is there. One that becomes humble, says the Ramban, the Shechina is on top of him, so of course his prayers are answered. This is not some kind of magical segula . This is the reality of becoming humble. That's the beautiful ladder of the Ramban, that starts from humility and ends with God's Shechina dwelling on you. What a powerful, powerful concept, to understand and appreciate what we're doing in our work on Anava .

Welcome to Day 1895 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Prayer In Your Daily Occupation – Daily Wisdom Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1895 of our Trek, and it's time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote and some wise words from Gramps for today's trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today's trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16&version=NLT (Proverbs 16:16)  How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!    If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let's jump right in with today's nugget: Today's quote is from François Fénelon, and it is: Accustom yourself gradually to carry prayer into all your daily occupation — speak, act, work in peace, as if you were in prayer, as indeed you ought to be. Prayer In Your Daily Occupation Prayer to our Holy Yahweh has been associated with being the same as breathing in and out. Breathing is not only vital to our biological life but has also been seen as spiritually significant in most religious traditions. In the creation narrative, God breathes life into the nostrils of humankind. The Spirit is the “breath of God,” the animating force that fills our lungs. Jesus, in sending out the twelve, breathes on them as a ritual to symbolize the presence of the Spirit with and in them. Breathing prayer takes many forms. One of the most well-known in the Christian tradition would be the “Jesus Prayer” that comes to us from our Eastern Orthodox kin. Another, perhaps somewhat less familiar, is tied to the Jewish tradition. The Jews did not speak God's name, but breathed it with an open mouth and throat: inhale—Yah; exhale—weh. We speak God's name and participate in God's breath by our very breathing. This is our first and our last word as we enter and leave the world. Everything we speak, every action, needs to also be in the spirit of prayer lifted to the almighty who reigns on high. Be at peace with God, others, and yourself as you go through every moment of each day. Remain in a spirit of prayer at all times. 1 Thessalonians 5:15-18 See that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people. Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.'

Some poems will be by well known poets, while others will be by less popular poets. This week's poem is “A Runnable Stag” by John Davidson. Poem begins at timestamp 3:29. Check out our sister podcast, The Literary Life Podcast, for more great discussions of literature! A Runnable Stag by John Davidson When the pods went pop on the broom, green broom, And apples began to be golden-skinn'd, We harbour'd a stag in the Priory coomb, And we feather'd his trail up-wind, up-wind, We feather'd his trail up-wind- A stag of warrant, a stag, a stag, A runnable stag, a kingly crop, Brow, bay and tray and three on top, A stag, a runnable stag. Then the huntsman's horn rang yap, yap yap, And 'Forwards' we heard the harbourer shout; But 'twas only a brocket that broke a gap In the beechen underwood, driven out, From the underwood antler'd out By warrant and might of the stag, the stag, The runnable stag, whose lordly mind Was bent on sleep though beam'd and tined He stood, a runnable stag So we tufted the covert till afternoon With Tinkerman's Pup and Bell- of-the-North; And hunters were sulky and hounds out of tune Before we tufted the right stag forth, Before we tufted him forth, The stag of warrant, the wily stag, The runnable stag with his kingly crop, Brow, bay and tray and three on top, The royal and runnable stag. It was Bell-of-the-North and Tinkerman's Pup That stuck to the scent till the copse was drawn. 'Tally ho! tally ho!' and the hunt was up, The tufters whipp'd and the pack laid on, The resolute pack laid on, And the stag of warrant away at last, The runnable stag, the same, the same, His hoofs on fire, his horns like flame, A stag, a runnable stag. 'Let your gelding be: if you check or chide He stumbles at once and you're out of the hunt For three hundred gentlemen, able to ride, On hunters accustom'd to bear the brunt, Accustom'd to bear the brunt, Are after the runnable stag, the stag, The runnable stag with his kingly crop, Brow, bay and tray and three on top, The right, the runnable stag. By perilous paths in coomb and dell, The heather, the rocks, and the river-bed, The pace grew hot, for the scent lay well, And a runnable stag goes right ahead, The quarry went right ahead-- Ahead, ahead, and fast and far; His antler'd crest, his cloven hoof, Brow, bay and tray and three aloof, The stag, the runnable stag. For a matter of twenty miles and more, By the densest hedge and the highest wall, Through herds of bullocks lie baffled the lore Of harbourer, huntsman, hounds and all, Of harbourer, hounds and all The stag of warrant, the wily stag, For twenty miles, and five and five, He ran, and he never was caught alive, This stag, this runnable stag. When he turn'd at bay in the leafy gloom, In the emerald gloom where the brook ran deep He heard in the distance the rollers boom, And he saw In a vision of peaceful sleep In a wonderful vision of sleep, A stag of warrant, a stag, a stag, A runnable stag in a jewell'd bed, Under the sheltering ocean dead, A stag, a runnable stag. So a fateful hope lit up his eye, And he open'd his nostrils wide again, And he toss'd his branching antlers high As he headed the hunt down the Charlock glen, As he raced down the echoing glen For five miles more, the stag, the stag, For twenty miles, and five and five, Not to be caught now, dead or alive, The stag, the runnable stag. Three hundred gentleman, able to ride, Three hundred horses as gallant and free, Beheld him escape on the evening tide, Far out till he sank in the Severn Sea, Till he sank in the depths of the sea The stag, the buoyant stag, the stag That slept at last in a jewell'd bed Under the sheltering ocean spread, The stag, the runnable stag.

We have been chosen to break the chains of repetitive cycles of our generational curses and karmic cycles. When we have been exposed to narcissistic environments that became the norm for us. When we experience the powerful change of healing we are guided to understand the damage we have been exposed to and also projected that we were unaware that was in our subconscious and subconsciously projected towards ourselves and others. Transitional healing is powerful and yet very uncomfortable because we are taken out of our comfort zone healing from toxic codependency that intense vibrations and frequencies. We take ownership of the parts we played that can no longer continue. That's where all our spiritual healing takes place. To move forward towards of the new you begins.

Avoiding Anger – The First Step The Gemara states in Masechet Shabbat (118b) that if a person properly observes Shabbat, then “even if he worships idols like in the generation of Enosh, he is forgiven.” Even if a person is steeped in idolatry like the generation of Enosh, the first generation to worship foreign deities, he can earn forgiveness through the proper observance of Shabbat. It emerges from the Gemara that Shabbat observance is the antithesis of idol-worship, and is thus capable of reversing the adverse spiritual effects of idol-worship. Several pages earlier (105b), the Gemara teaches, “Whoever tears his garments in anger, breaks utensils in anger, or discards his money in anger, should be considered in your eyes like an idol-worshipper.” Anger, the Gemara tells us, is associated with idol-worship. It thus follows that Shabbat, which stands as the counterforce, so-to-speak, to idol-worship, is a time when we must make a special effort to avoid anger. The Gemara proceeds to explain why unrestrained anger must be regarded with such severity: “For this is the craft of the evil inclination – it tells him today to do one thing, tomorrow to do another, until it tells him, ‘Go worship idols,' and he goes and worships.” The yetzer ha'ra (evil inclination) does its work by causing a person to lose control over himself, and this is done most effectively through anger. Once a person loses restraint, to the point where he erupts in fits of rage, he comes under the control of the yetzer ha'ra , which can then gradually lead him to worship idols. The message being conveyed is that once a person surrenders to the yetzer ha'ra , even just slightly, by giving in on some minor matter, the battleground shifts, and the yetzer ha'ra then launches the next struggle, targeting a matter of greater severity. If the person continues surrendering, one step at a time, he can eventually end up worshipping idols. And thus the Hovot Ha'levavot teaches that one should not take lightly even small victories over the yetzer ha'ra – because the yetzer ha'ra does not take its own small victories lightly. To the contrary, it builds on each small victory in its quest for a much more significant victory. In a recent article in Yated Ne'eman , Rabbi Elchanan Jacobowitz tells of a conversation he had with Shalom Mordechai Rubashkin when he was in prison. On the first day in jail, the guard threw him his meal, and Mr. Rubashkin looked at it and saw it was not certified kosher. The next day, the warden saw that the inmate had not eaten his meal, and he asked him, “What's wrong? You don't want to eat?” “I do want to eat,” Mr. Rubashkin replied, “but I can't.” “Why not?” the guard asked. “Because the food is not kosher,” Mr. Rubashkin explained. “So you don't want to eat.” “I do want to eat, but I can't.” This repeated itself after the next two meals were served. Both times, the guard asked Mr. Rubashkin why he didn't want to eat, and Mr. Rubashkin replied that he wanted to eat but couldn't because the food wasn't kosher, and they spoke in circles. For about 40 hours, Mr. Rubashkin had not eaten a meal. Finally, the guard returned with a double-wrapped meal with kosher certification. Mr. Rubashkin said that this is how the yetzer ha'ra works. The kosher food was there the whole time, but he had to go through this test. The yetzer ha'ra was testing him to see if he would break. Mr. Rubashkin further reflected on the question he struggled with when he was first sent to prison. How strictly and unyieldingly should he insist on continuing all his religious customs and practices? Should he perhaps take a more flexible approach given his circumstances? He answered this question for himself when he recalled a story he heard as a child of two chassidic boys who sailed to the United States together from Europe. They befriended one another on the boat, and then bid each other farewell and parted ways at Ellis Island. One remained fully loyal to his chassidic upbringing as he grew and became an adult, whereas the other abandoned Judaism altogether. Some thirty years after arriving in the U.S., the two men happened to meet one another. After engaging in small talk and finding out about each other's life, the non-observant man asked the other, “Honestly, I really admire you for sticking with your tradition all these years. But tell me, do you really need to wear that enormous, silly-looking kippah on your head? Can't you wear something normal?” “That's a great question,” the other fellow replied. “The yetzer ha'ra asked me that very question the morning after I arrived in New York. I thought about and realized that if I listened to the yetzer ha'ra and changed my kippah , the yetzer ha'ra would throw another challenge at me the next day. it isn't going to stop. As soon as it pushes me one step away, it will begin its work pushing me to the next step. I realized I was much better off just fighting the same fight every single day, which is much easier than constantly having to fight new fights. And so I've been fighting this challenge of the kippah every day for the last 30 years, and I haven't lost yet.” After recalling this story, Mr. Rubashkin decided that he was not going to change anything. Every small custom that he observed when his life was normal would continue to be observed in prison. If we meet challenges without surrendering, we become stronger and greater. Some have suggested that this is the reason why we eat boiled eggs at the Pesach seder – because unlike other foods, which get softer the more they are cooked, an egg gets harder. The egg thus symbolizes this special quality of the Jewish People, that the more we are “cooked,” and put to the test, the stronger and more resolute we become. This is the message being conveyed by the Gemara in its comment about anger. The easiest way for the yetzer ha'ra to get us in his clutches is by getting us angry. We are naturally driven to anger, and once we become angry, we lose control over ourselves and come under the control of our sinful inclinations. What can we do to avoid anger? How do we fortify ourselves to withstand the natural tendency to become angry at people who disturb us? Rabbi Ades said that the answer to this question is found in the Ramban's famous letter of admonition, where he writes: תתנהג תמיד לדבר כל דבריך בנחת לכל אדם ובכל עת, ובזה תנצל מן הכעס שהיא מדה רעה להחטיא בני אדם. “Accustom yourself to always speak all your words softly, with all people and at all times, and you will thereby be saved from anger, which is a negative trait that causes people to sin.” If we get in the habit of always speaking in a soft, calm, gentle tone, we will be far less likely to become angry. Once a person's anger is triggered, it is very difficult to tell him not to become angry. The trick is to train ourselves in general to be mild-mannered and calm. As Rav Ades explained, a person's tone when he speaks is the thermometer, so-to-speak, of his mood, of his feelings. When a person is feeling upset and agitated, then even when he is asked a perfectly innocent, neutral question, he is likely to respond in an angry tone. And so by ensuring to speak softly, we accustom ourselves to feel calm and collected, and thereby avoid angry outbursts. Shabbat is the time especially suited to accustom ourselves to speak בנחת , to maintain a calm demeanor in all our interactions. If we continue waging this battle against the yetzer ha'ra , we will avoid further battles, and we will remain free from its control and protected from its persistent efforts to make us fail.
