What is the “this” in the above sentence referring to?

david s. welcome to the CR!!! please head over to the New Members thread headed by asdfghjkl for a proper greeting!!
It says yigaber ka ari that you have to get up like a lion,but if you went to the zoo on chol hamoed you would see that the lion is the most sleepy and lazy animal there,whats the comparison?
ever listened to professor chai and his torah zoo?
this isn’t a real source, but as far as i remember, most of the animal facts on that tape are based on emes.
what i do know for a fact is that a lion sleeps for up to 20 hours a day.
not sure about this, but i think that when they rise they do it with a lot of strength and determination.
no one ever said to sleep like a lion – just to get up like one 😉
round of applause- that was a great answer
areivim, that was from a KID’S tape. not too impressive that my knowledge of torah is based on a story i listened to when i was seven.

Maybe it is also that we should get up confidently, knowing that we can be misgabeir over our yetzer hara, the way that a lion is misgabeir over his enemies. Also, even the lion who is lazy and sleepy, DOES get up, because he has an achrayus to fulfill retzon Hashem.
moish who cares about the source (as long as it’s emes and jewish). I rate it a good answer because it makes sense, it was a good way of applying knowledge, was original and well put. (wew)
who cares about the source (as long as it’s emes and jewish).
What if the source were emes but not Jewish?

for questions on the shilchan oruch I wouldn’t go with anything non-jewish. Or do you disagree?
The maamar is ‘yisgabber koari laamod baboker’ not ‘yaamod baboker bigvurah koari.’ It is saying that one should get up and overpower the yetzer hara with the strength that a lion uses to hunt, as the gemara notes that a lion doesn’t even kill its prey but eats it live. This is a lesson to us who are not capable of killing the yetzer hara but require the strength of a lion to be victorious.
