You
just won a million dollars!
A Mashgiach once told me that a Bochur asked him on Chanuka
night for some Chizuk. So the Mashgiach asked him, "If you had just
found out that you won a million dollars, would you still need Chizuk?
"No" answered the Bochur. "Well", continued the
Mashgiach, "if someone offered you a million dollars to sell them the
Mitzva of the Chanuka lighting that you just did, would you sell it to
them?". "I don't think so", answered the Bochur. "So
that means", said the Mashgiach, "that you just did something
that is more precious to you than a million dollars! And you still feel
you need Chizuk??"
So if someone offered us a million dollars to sell them the merit that we
earn when we turn our eyes away from seeing bad and give a Nachas Ruach
to the Almighty Creator, would we sell it? No!
So we are winning millions every time we walk in the street and guard our
eyes! We should be dancing through the streets!
