I compared it to a contemporary mashel. parable. A person gets on a highway and does not know if traveling the right direction. When one sèes a sign, one realizes where one is going. Similarly, when one travels on the highway of life, shabbat is a sign when one has time to contemplate., think this over. The GRA explains the gemora that if one is without a dream for seven days, it is not a good sign. At least on shabbat one should realize that the world is a dream, temporary.
Great dvar Torah. And great points brought up.
Statistics says that %90 of people when the turn to the age of 60 and they look back at their past 40 years of adulthood life from 20 to 60 of not a kid before 20 and not a old man yet. That %90 of people feel bad that their time was not spent wisely. They promise Hashem that if they return back to age 20 that they will spend their time more RESPONSIBLY. %90 of people say this and honestly such a high number is bad news. So if YOU are 40 now and still have a full 20 years before you even start thinking about getting old, then start appreciating life now and stop taking it for granted and use your time wisely
This is the only lesson i realized that takes us a life time to learn (we never learn it ) although it gets revealed to us so many times each year. HOW LIFE GOES BY IN AN INSTANT. One second, father just made הבדלה from שבת & Mother is already lighting the candles, something is wrong here something has to be wrong 6 days just flew by .this is how every year goes by we go from חנוכה & Before you know it its time to order משלוח מנות for פורים Then its exactly 30 days to פסח we then count exactly 7 weeks until שבועות then its exactly 4 weeks until שבעה עשר בתמוז then comes the 3 weeks & then 3 weeks of summer & Before you know it its time to blow the שופר already YES A YEAR JUST FLEW BY & IS GONE FOREVER.
What can we learn from Birthday’s? Why did Hashem invent a day to celebrate a persons birth? There’s nothing wrong or goyish with having a birthday cake or party. The lesson we can learn is, that last year on this day i was 39, today i became 40. A complete year has just gone by. What have i accomplished during this time? Was my time spent wisely? (Wisely does not need to mean Learning & Davening etc.., going shopping & spending family quality time is also considered time spent wisely & actually very important to raise a happy & healthy family) Can I actually face Hashem now & say truthfully that I spent this past year wisely? Maybe we can learn that every minute counts & is so precious & now another full year is gone forever.Beautiful message above
In relation to your message above there’s a secret message from Hashem relating to tzaddikim of every generation
How is it possible for Tzaddikim to manage to live on only 4 hours of sleep a day? It should be vice versa, they need more sleep then a regular person,-due to age & how busy they are from meeting people & traveling all over the world speaking & going to Simchas etc…-the Message From Hashem is, that Hashem created each day with 24 hours & divided it up into 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of work & then the remaining 8 hours for family time & chores BUT if you can show Hashem that you can spend your time wisely-& fill it with Ruchnius (spirituality) like Tzaddikim-without the need of work , then Hashem will not need to fill your day with chores, hard work & 8 full hours of sleep. These Tzaddikim/Leaders-that are sent to guide us in every generation-wake up every morning with full strength, ready to learn & serve Hashem although they only slept a few hours. Dovid Hamelech woke up every morning at midnight & sang praises to Hashem without stopping until Sunrise.
