Some people train themselves in dishonesty, believing material gain justifies their actions. In this powerful shiur, Rabbi Yoshiyahu Pinto reveals the inescapable truth: No matter how much you justify lying, stealing, or deceiving, your soul knows, and the inner turmoil will consume you.
Rabbi Pinto explains:
People actively train themselves in negative behaviors like lying and theft.
They try to silence their conscience with justifications like accumulating wealth.
This leads to an empty soul; material gain brings no real peace.
Deep down, “a person knows the distress of their soul” and their wrongdoing.
Self-justification is futile; the inner knowledge of sin will “eat at them, consume them, and sadden them.”
Ultimately, living with such inner conflict is unsustainable.
A profound lesson on honesty, self-awareness, and the undeniable voice of the soul.
