A Rebbe Examines a Rafael Painting - Likkutei Torah "Ki Bayom Hazeh" #5

the yeshiva dotnet so the servation was beginning of payer gimel hashem le cafe shy slow the nature of fire is that it consumes it cannot sit steel still and not consume in other words it's not enough for a fire to be held down by some flammable material but the materialist actually has to be consumed by the flame like it cannot remain indifferent detached and passive for the fire to exist it has to be consumed that the item the material has to be consumed hashem elokenu a shy slow means that for Hashem to exist in something the person has to become fully attached fully connected fully one to have a divine experience I cannot remain in my own space untouched unscathed if you want to have a relationship with a fire you could stay far away and enjoy the fire from a distance but if you want to taste the fire you want to experience the fire so physically a person goes into the fire and they become the fire spiritually speaking it would mean that when you're dealing with hashem elokenu well Marsha Levin was saying is h-hello if it's an experience of Hashem it's all encompassing it must consume consume here means okay if I found their founder things yeah yeah thanks you could take it out it's a it's it's hashem elokenu that's what he says that when we speak about these three things of tyrunt's Finland's dacha my Shaba Deborah my subrecipients active our Farsi Civ so the owner Hashem is not nathas he offer for showing a beneficial other key imbibe it'll Rutzen recluse unofficial of his borrows Kira I see no harm seguro a person could learn tarried a person could dive and a person could get stuck but they still remain detached bit fuller ups in the course and every Hill of his burrows means that their desire their heart their soul is completely present its complete becomes completely won the Lehane totally on chakra so - am i the attentive emitters be strong and that's where the Jew comes in it's not just the terror and the mitzvahs the ur Hashem to come into the world comes in through Tara mitzvahs by the Jew through the Jew commercia Kossoff by Yocum ADA's Baraka the tardis zombie is wrong the pasta can tell him says a this is a this which is his mitzvos he established in jacob and the tire he placed in israel so first of all the do care is Yaakov in Israel but the general principle that the faucet is conveying is what gives the tailor Mitzvah significance is that the Jew is learning it that the Jew is doing the mitzvahs k Yaakov is Cyril apprentices Scofield is Appa Yakka ministro represents two models of the Jew Yaakov means a heel a cthe you sir all means a head he strongly rush is he strongly Raj my head or Ashley says he stalls from the word sire sorry say Melek in Baymen awesome you have fought you have prevailed you're a minister you're a prince there are two states in which the Jew serves God one is a state of escape via one is a state of his hapa one is a state of Yaakov one is a state of East or the difference is a scarf you means subjugation this Hapuku means transformation scarfy comes in the word clay finis a we compel him as HAP that comes in the word banaba hula hopping to transform there's two states of a person one the state of a scarfie Escoffier means I don't wanna but I do it anyway why because I submit my instinct or my habits or my addiction or my cravings to my value and therefore I do it regardless of my emotion at the moment or my thoughts at the moment this habit of means I actually transform myself it's a whole different state of identity Yaakov is the pin of escape via which would be so relatively speaking a lower state and thus hopko which is a much higher state is he strong and one the person is via other hazards became Asaph the archive is intermingled with a Soph and because he's intermingled with a Soph if he waits until all everything is clear in his life he may have to wait forever so at this moment he has to do is scoff iya and then he sir all is he's completely liberated for myself he retains his own identity his own pristine identity becomes a Tsar he's a leader he's not part of the other here cuz he's not struggling with Asaph this is a state of his habit of transformation sometimes a person is in a position where they can't wait to have everything cleared up sometimes you have emotions that are very very difficult or instincts that are extremely toxic if the person waits till everything is cleared up they may lose the victor they may lose the battle immediately at this point it's fine to say I'm in a state of ask a few scarfy is a great thing this curfew means I don't want but I'll do it anyway or I want to but I won't do it anyway I these emotions are fleeing are blazing in you there's a hot a hot passion in you and you don't feel what the right thing is that's fine you don't have to feel you know if to worship every feeling every emotion you could let it be without the need to obliterate it in order to pursue your true values of life sometimes we make a mistake and we think that freedom means that everything has to be cleared up in my internal system in order for me to pursue my values that's not true that's already a state of a chakra that's a very lofty state I mean if you can get there god bless you but the Jewish people are not only called to be strong we're also called Yaakov there's two names Yaakov and you strong Yaakov is I'm not there I'm in a state of Ayodhya it has its back a vase and I'm holding on to the hill of ASA and I'm struggling I'm struggling with my identity Who am I Who am I not what do I want what I don't want and still I can pursue what is true I can pursue what is important I can pursue my value and it's genuine and the reason it's genuine is because I'm not lying I'm not saying I don't have any paradoxes in me I don't have any Texas City in me I don't have any addictions in me I don't have any demons at me half Alpha K that's the state of Escoffier it's in a beautiful beautiful concept because sometimes people wait for the impossible and they they hold on to setting themselves free until everything is cleared up not everything that's cleared up in this world so that's the pin of Yaakov the Pronovias Earl is this happen generally it's a difference of Shabbos in the weekdays the post excessive parshas Bullock well he beat oven beocca wave Valera I'm all Bistro hashem elokenu my bilham says he does not see in equity and jacob nor toil in israel Yaakov there could be an element of oven iniquity in the initial there's no oven is amol his toil it's two different states of the Jew two different states of life is Scalia and his hopper it's the McCoy case in the Gemara between having a meal and a bilasa I'm we're blossoming our irani convention from Shauna what was the remember the gomorian Baraka stuff Hoff guess where I'm Gamliel was the leader of the Sun head during the Nazi of the Sanhedrin he had a rule call me Shane tyfa Kabara while you consciously based on Irish somebody who's inside is not like his outside he doesn't go into the basement or miss matters is not made for weak people race matters is made for people who's inside and out sides are completely consistent with each other and then Rabban Gamliel was dethroned because of a whole story with her be sure they D through him Gamliel they said it's too much Oh so what happened was a bellossom and Isaiah the new Nazi the new presidents Otis be the new spiritual leader of the Supreme Court of the son Madrid in the city of Yamuna this is generations after the Corbin generation after the cordon by a shiny costly Ivana he opens up the doors for everybody he says does know what no restrictions he opens up was now who yo ma types us absolutely women Russia that day many new cheers many new benches were added to the basement which hundreds this to gooses 400-800 hundreds of new students came in the doors were open it don't open door policy before the debate madness was mom is a restricted place it's numbered seongmin tight like a bad day that's much more than midsi honor it's the owner of a person has a good IQ he goes into the base meadow check Enzo get up such tickles slaughter they take him in here it's next up such Nicholas well it's tight fake ibadah the inside is like the outside and the result I just totally cabana is totally is tough Volkov of Purefoy Tov Volkov of Cabaret this Huff Bey's range of off ok so if you took take a look at it both have the letters evolved in them curve of is the numerical value of a shams name you'd cave of K is 26 but there's a difference cabaret where's the curve of the cuff is the first and the valve is the last it's on the outside toy why where's the curve off on the inside cabaret means is hover but it's on the outside ain't a faker body the inside is not like the outside well you can't still be some Anders I want gone in the inside on in the outside there Belleza changed the policy was urban as I everybody comes in so I'm them lil had a dream he felt horrible he said perhaps I'm the one on my naughty turn me strong I basically stopped Toyota from theirs I didn't allow the Jews to learn tire and they hadn't here to dream that comforted him and the Gomorrah says belong he wasn't even a real dreamer was just to make him feel good there was abanazar he was policy was right what was the muff Lycus the Gemara says van after him gum leo like mana at smiley base I'm a Jewish that's the end and I'm real osos came into the basin he was dethroned but he spent the whole damn base manage that so you see that was I'm anxious right usually you go make your own based budget huh we almost I think about it yeah nothing no yeah yeah cuz a very healthy person thing he's aware of the fact that life is a duality I think what's the mechanism that yak of employees the Meccan and lack of employees is that he is aware where the struggle is coming from and he chooses not to define that struggle as the totality of his existence and he can identify his I don't know if I'm rising above it but he's in the middle of it he almost respects him said before that he quarantine quarantine is in the sense not of repression quarantine in the sense that he gives it its place compartmentalize money the compartmentalizes it he's not a compartmentalized person in the sense that he's orokin yeah it is what it is and even more than that he realizes it's part of his journey I'll never figure put any right you're right you're right I'm just using that new term you're right he's aware he doesn't allow that emotion or that thought that instinct yes yes yes the classic example you're driving a car you're by the steering wheel and you have a backseat driver who says take the light take the light take the light right you say you can't take the light I'm gonna kill myself and I'm gonna kill you take the light don't be a coward take the light so what do you do you can't throw them out of the car if you can throw them out of the car with me yes take I'm a Brooklyn from Brooklyn sorry take the light means you take the light you steal the light even better catch the light sell it sell it if you can rob the light whatever you can do right so you come to you tell your animals so you say listen I got you I can't throw you out of my car I'm married to you you know when you're married to a backseat driver you know what I mean you know what I mean I can't we're in the car for life boy I said okay let's just make it work let's make it work so you will sit in the car you will tell me what a horrible driver I am but I'm not giving you the steering wheel I'm still holding on to the steering wheel I will decide where we go I this guy who's screaming in the backseat you don't know how to drive you're an idiot let me thank God I'm by the steering wheel not you that's when he crashes then there's a state of his hapa Rabban Gamliel was from based of it and i'm lil was a lead from gula I'm Leah hull Phyllis Arvest is Hiva that's the whole Gemara there I mean I think a bother has to work together the inside the outside and the Lille is a very utopian spiritual State it was urban as I said it doesn't work that way Antarctica Barra let your comments the way somewhere if these are the two states Scalia versus his hapa one is he T estimates Ryan one as one as the GU Las either like we learned I am especially pausing they had to run from themselves the gula see there's library pause and that's the print of a Scofield yes yeah it's teaching him how to drive it's transforming him you create full peace in the system part of a Solomon option the finish is afrin Gamliel I'm a Nazi base I'm a Jewish that masculinity is much time even losted lava that even in the world of rom-com leo there's value to the TS material its sphericity as much time is even lost love it because even the acid love it you're still a value in his Coffea the scarfie has a very precious time - it's this habit is of course beautiful but is something unique about us Kavya - something very noble and honorable about a scholar because well everything is relative yeah yeah yeah oh you'd came to the tamaak sceptic once and he said yeah but the publish can chase you Clara I don't like learning so he said Peppa Patterson Yiddish was an endearing expression of like my fool but it was like endearing Peppa puzzle it's done as a hobby athletic learner I have the problem at you I do love learning you don't love learning that's awesome you could that can learn you can have a relationship it's an avoider I love learning that's my fishable this is Pettis was at least on the hobby aphasia Clara sometimes is scarfing on what he's trying to say that his country has a nobility all of its all its own it's the nobility of having the courage to be able to steer at your abyss and choose not to fall into it yeah there was a philosopher who once said when you steer into the abyss the abyss stares back at you right when you steer into the abyss it steers right Nietzsche Nietzsche Friedrich Nietzsche it steers right back into you in other words you fall into it when you stare into the abyss the abyss tears into you and all of life becomes the spear the courage of this person is he could fall into his abyss but he does not he does not he lets it be he even has a certain I would say carefully the word respect I don't mean respect in the sense that he respects it that he puts it on a pedestal but he respects it means he he knows its boundaries and he doesn't wait for it to get out of his life in order to live yes it's like almost yes this is my journey and it's it's a beautiful journey because I could make choices in this journey I'm not enslaved by the journey that's an amazing idea really an amazing very amazing idea because people often wait to get rid of this in order to start living doesn't work that way that's s koffie that's the plan of Yaakov and then there's this happiness apke means metamorphosis transformation complete alignment and there are such moments in life as well with us is clarity this transparency there's no fragmentation there's no duality there's no war and battle and conflict just eight of us up here you may have it once in ten years it's a moment a moment of harmony a moment when when everything comes together huh the mileage I guess yeah the Mailand right you could ship shiver Sierra desires calls them all the Egyptian is here the intimacy of the Sun and the moon yeah and then you don't see it because it's one anything that's one you don't see so that's the pin of Toyota and Mitzvahs needs you strong and it needs Yaakov but your co-maid is beocca the same key Jakob Isola premises coffee miss Abra shahbazi tolaram chakras arashiyama their trail of a mitzvos without that tell you their mitzvahs can't access the light of the Divine it's not the tailor in the midst is itself it's the gatherer behind the tailor mitzvos it's this scarf here behind the turn of the mitzvot sits this how come behind the turn and the mitzvahs that's the H oh hello that's the oil on my shank and boy bit Lauritzen and you heard Islam shook if there's no oil ah there's no H if there's nothing being consumed there's no H there's no H of Hashem something has to be consumed in Toyota trader has to consume something who the person the person is not getting consumed in the trader person is not getting consumed in the Mitzvah it's not a totem it's it's not an H Allah Allah somebody has to yield something has to give way there has to be a dent in the person there's some emotional dent in the person's consciousness it has to eat something up in me if nothing was eaten up if I remain on unmoved untouched what's missing is the H the H the dimension of Asia that is two modes there's two modes of the ice law two modalities one is the ice law of escape via and one is this happen by your come aid does be okay this side of somebody's wrong what allows agus I'm paid to be established in this world is that it has a Jakov to hold on to or you straw to hold on to so I said miss rice day tomorrow says I'm in office it's filling sniffing goofy knocking it's filling need a clean body literally it means it's a halakha though when you're wearing to fill them your body has to be clean if a person is in a state where they can't you know they can't contain their bodies bodily needs physical needs to then they shouldn't put on tefillin at that time in terms of letting out ear in terms of going to the bathroom etc so I said missus if so the governor should have spoken as it said what it usually says speak to the person sorry da Shi hey I goo Funaki based on the hosta feelin okay man it's feelin sorry ankles knocking then what attributes it at it's filling filling sniffing go Funaki that filling needs a clean body said they can one is saying something even deal not just my body has to be clean when I put on tefillin no he says it's filling the thefts of its villain serife engulf maki filling needs the goof of a year the goof of a jew is a holy goof it's a pure goof that filling needs it if you take a pair of tefillin you ride it holy you put it on the table what is it it's a pair of filling on the table there's notes filling it there's no Mitzvah sterling it's filling to become a mitzvah villain it's only one way it's filling adorns my body adorns your arm your head why he says that filling needs the Gulf naki it needs the purity of a Jewish body it needs the purity of a goof the goof of a Jew is holy it says entire go for the line Kadisha not like those who love to discriminate against the body and say that the body is is evil and disgusting and horrible and should be rejected desires is good for the lying condition the gufa scottish goof naki it's a pure body so again you have that feeling but that feeling doesn't become an a doesn't become an Shem yes from duster heft of kedusha to a mitzvah yes it's it it has the purchase of title there whatever it has a lot of condition in it but it turns it into the mitzvah to the letter that becomes roots and Hashem Ruxin Hashem is the villain on the table is not Ruxin hashem it's a holy thing but there's no Rutzen hashem happening you put on that film and something magical happens why what happened it went onto my body it's filled in now what did it only make me grow I made it fill and grow that fill and helped me but I also helped it's fill in we both need each other Turner mitzvahs brings down the light but Ariane mitzvahs needs the Jew ish Ursula the bit to lure Upson of the drew the experience of the Jew interior mitzvahs to be able to have it so therefore you need the ice Allah that which that which experiences the experience of being consumed in the process there's a diary I once read of the six lubavitcher rebbe his father known as the river a shop once visited an art gallery in Paris this is the late 1800s to the early 1900s there's an art gallery display of pieces of art by Raphael son writes this son writes that his father who was a rapper at the time about he was in flood in Europe and in Paris you traveled from Russia and he went to visit of art gallery by Raphael and he described three paintings and he described all three paintings one was a painting of a war zone a battlefield you know how the ancient artists used to depict battlefield quite intense one was a court case a court case with a plaintiff and a defendant a judge and a jury and the third was a farm Raphel depicted a farm he describes all the three paintings at length in this diary but there's one fascinating detail in the story he said his father delivered sure understanding and analyzing studying this painting it's a farm it's the time of harvest of grain it's a grain farm meaning the stalks the stalks of grain wheat barley spelt oats rye are in full stature they've grown to full maturity so you have tall erect stalks of gray soon to be harvested you could see in the painting that the weather is a beautiful weather it's one of those perfect days you know those equinox days where everything is even there's a perfect equilibrium in the climate and in the weather you could just see it in the paint that that that subtle breeze is there not too cold not too humid and there is a bird a bird with one leg standing pouching on one of those stalks of grain and people were amazed by the authenticity of the painting how real how vivid how dramatic and there were humming giggling he says connoisseurs art experts were standing in analyze and a peasant walks by a simple pet like a farmer walks by he didn't have time for the museum and I would say probably his wife's left him there to feel culture he walks by he runs by takes a look he says ah nourish kindness what a stupid painting so they all look at this guy in such a disdain this peasant he's coming to same as Venus and repels painting they dismiss them but he said one one expert was curious because farmers sometimes have wisdom and he chases him and he calls her back he says why did you dismiss the painting as rubbish he says you could see then and did not live on a farm he knows nothing about farming they say why why he says look you have a stalk of gray it's fully erect there's a bird with its leg on it it has to bend that's the band if there's a bird of meda can't stand the wreck something has to give away it has to be indented a little bit bent a little bit she can't have both together obviously this is fake this is rubbish this is not real and he goes away so the rebus said he learned to Zoe if you disguise as ms there has to be a dent if it's a true picture if it's a true reality there has to penetrate if the person stands fully erect and they're full pompous arrogance unmoved there's no dent there's no penetration he says it's not a mess it's a painting it's a fake painting if it's an authentic experience something has to change in you nothing changes in you then it's not an experience that's the shot Kshama la queja H is low if it's an age something is being burnt something is being consumed I can't be in an age and the age is burning and I remain completely as I was yesterday intact this episode experienced enough bananen something has to burn a chola the H has to eat something up how do you know that is an H if something is being eaten if nothing is being eaten you know there's no a share it's a painting of a fire it's a picture of a fight it's out of fire if there's a fire to be present now something has to be eaten up if it was eaten up yesterday the fire won't be existing today that's the simin right that's the simin that it's an H something is being slow right now if not there's no fire I can't create a fire today based on a fire yesterday something has to be isolated a they love saying that conferences that Jews are early Ligurian right what does the Shia Navi say or Ligurian Missa Teja a light on to the nation's I know it's not a Muncie expression that much but some other communities or Ligurian Jews are a light unto the nations what sake a light unto the nations shut or Ligurian how do you become a light unto the nations for this you need a fire this is before Thomas edits I was before Thomas Edison I think for this you need a fire yeah how do you have a fire burning a choice law something has to be burnt up in me for the fire to burn what happens if I take a picture of a fire and I put it on my wall that's not a fire there's no ash Isilon so early is not shot some people they want to take a picture put it on the wall and say we're a light onto the nation's doesn't work that way o Allah Epis not bananen for something to Bren for something to burn something has to be consumed in me what has to be consumed some think something something in my life in Mike's Aryans and my consciousness in my emotions in my addictions and my instincts and my habits something has to be consumed in order to experience God there's no divine experience without a nation's law and that's why you will never be able to have an experience of kedusha if something is not being consumed something is not being taken in the process everything else is just robotic it's just monotonous it's just the culture it's just repeating what we did yesterday day before there's no fire there's no new fire it's a picture of an old fire it's a great painting but if the bird is really on a stalk of grain it's not sin this it's not a direct it's not Pacoima scoffer something has to give away somebody has to yield patience bragging that he was full of macabre Saurus it's not being fully eat enough he's not being fully consumed by the fire that's the model of a Scofield the model of a scoff he is a snap boy you beige it's a real fire fast nine and local there's a part of me that's not being consumed why the fire should eat me up we have to say that experience that's the dish of the degelman F Ryan Escoffier is also a flaw or schmuck doesn't mean I have to be consumed completely our usual amines if I could tell my instincts you're not getting the steering wheel that's a law they were consumed they were in this battle they gave they gave in they were challenged they they have ADD and they're like okay wow that that's awesome that's a serious unclogged yeah cavora yeah that's the cavora that's a Scofield parrot Gitmo daf evolved omote Aleph see that's page 51 of the topic should say after a take away my Navi here I looked it up here it's a nice vote for option or fall Hirsch no I think it's a

explaining the second meaning of a ice law that the fired of bananen it has to consume something right when the bird is standing on the store it has to then there has to be some Bend some impact some penetration and that's why Telluride mitzvos the area Hashem is totally in the Jew either in the state of a scarf es Appa Yakka be strong so denied accumulative our email Hashanah Mancha Simba Mary -

do it and it was also a very fun Shabbos afternoon of sports and scary toe maybe did ever home what's the significance of this what's the significance so God Hashem who punished one tells a Jew I'm Nika very on on you see me I'm that tree I'm that tree calf America this Buraku a new Shanna slab wish for my sister named Carol Anna just like this branch of the cedar I also completely come down i decree Fusco Messiah viacom by bending his climber his full stature what does this branch do this branches the stream he says it was that the reason it was that gonna have to be soft if not he can't bend it and you take it and you compromise you minimize you belittle it you bend it down all the way to the earth where I could climb onto it but really I come from a much higher place I came down but I'm really in a much higher place and therefore when I get sit on this branch I now allow myself to be uplifted through it to Heights that I am I own would have never be able to experience the gamora says Horan noise say s noise off right the RN would carry its carriers you think you're carrying the aren it's really carrying you some things when you carry them you get carried with them much more than you're carrying them they're carrying you so as I attach myself to this branch it lifts me to a place where I cannot reach but the reason it could lift me is because it came down to my space where I could enter so I am says this is this is who I am Anika very honor I am that brush on the slobbers with my serotonin so in other words you learn tickle Tyra it seems like you're dealing with very physical ideas you're learning about matters that deal with Matt physical the physical world things that you can understand that's the brush ramen it's divine energy that bent itself down that's that humbled itself to come into things that people could sit on people can grasp people can do that's the stories of Toyota the stories of turn out all of the hollowness all of the mitzvahs whether it's in thought or in words horns throw in action Chaidez at this Alan FS autumn be iliac are even lower buried inside burrow and now you go boom and it allows the Salt experience iliac Irene Louie higher and higher elevation to become part of the light of the infinite one while a stretch through the betrayer hi missus I'm Amish and his soul is bound up in the bound of life with god mama SH because I'm Nicki fresh Rama and that's why you shall I am is taken through that experience because your shall I am is the place of kedusha it's the ultimate center place of holiness and how is your shall I am taken by David I'm Elif through that experience something that seems the usual I am is basically the epicenter where heaven and earth meet it's the point with the spiritual and the physical converging to one shamayim and Eretz become one what's the process the process is the cedar tree Anika very shaman which is very high and it comes down low allowing the person to reach great heights allowing earth to touch heaven allowing man to touch the divine how can man touch the divine by definition there's an infinite gulf between the two how can they be race car shows happen to be a relationship between finite and infinite the answer is Terra mitzvos was basically God's medium of articulating his truth in concepts and actions that relate to you the human be experienced that's the ultimate value and therefore it allows the person who connects to that brush run onto that branch to be able to be uplifted to the source of Tyria mitzvos because the source of the Toyota is really very very lofty beyond the human intellect and the source of the mitzvah is beyond that which the human can grasp but it was compressed that came down in a way that we could relate to it as a result of that we sit down on it and we get uplifted in that process you get uplifted to be able to touch the truth of earning safe the truth of ITIN so powerful voice in Auschwitz rivers now we're not getting up no well you sit down on the branch and then as the branch goes back of the gars a muscle that is something very very high but it comes down to FIFA squamous-like a vehicle he bends down as crema that's what Brie Asylum is an actual toy damage services today to give the nefesh an opportunity to be able to have Vegas inane safe yes the garden of bottling himself so he renounces his infinity right in other words RP RP oestrus won't be seho we shouldn't be able to understand Tyra Leigh Smosh of its Visser Bay nobody could grasp him just like you don't know what a sham is what he looks like what he think Toyota's his wisdom mitzvos are his we'll look at the law cm shaker Inc hey Collette vanassa we say this in ashtray in the morning live de la seine hey there's no inquiry there's no inquiry we shouldn't be able to understand should be able to do it the answer is he took his infinite will he took his infinite wisdom and he compressed it so to speak like the brush Ronon he compressed it here tick you lated it into finiteness that we can relate to tighter you could learn tighter you can understand tighter according to your level you can understand the stories of technique understand our locus of trade you can understand the pull Pullum of Toyota you can understand Toyota but what is it really it's not a piece of Aria it's really infinite wisdom compressed and finiteness the same is true a mitzvah I know what a mitzvah is I can do a bit slow I could build a souk I could shake a little I could put on film I can give the paupers I know what it is I take a quarter I give it to the porpoise and I did a mitzvah but what did you do what does it do it's a whole different because it's really infinite infinity being expressed in the finite and that's why in Toyota you know usually you read a book once twice three times five times even if it's a very deep book you master it you got it how many times can you read it when it comes for example two opposite Amish a plaid Gomorrah patronize whatever it is and Tyler you could read it 300 times and there's still something new every time why because it's not finite its infinity that looks finite so therefore as much as you scratch the SIRT as much as you go into it you only scratch the surface the ball Shrimpton once said the past success terrorists hashem taneema the Torah of Hashem is complete what does that mean so he said Adam Schilling established by me alone I'll compare it to a birthday cake imagine a birthday cake that's been eaten for three thousand three hundred years but when you look at it it was untouched doesn't make sense we're nibbling on it for three thousand years you know what the cake looks like after three thousand years it's a garnish good living right if you come five minutes late to the kiddush nothing is left right at least the good herring and a good cake yeah it comes thirty three hundred years later the killers so the boss under that factor is a sham to me ma it's untouched it's like everything was untied what's that mean what do you mean you know how much the Jews learned and what they did to that poor tighter and they're still busy it's still virgin territory Lama no Kratz not even a dent why the shutters I'll tell you why if you have a bank account and in the bank account you have three hundred and fifty million dollars anybody the Brazil the colored mama 350 million doll musulman not not plungers mazuma cash and i go into your bank account I may make a check you give me you didn't make a check for $10 it's not gonna be that noticeable but there's a difference and if every minute you take out another $10 slowly but surely it's going to be depleted you know why simulation of fifty million dollars a lot more than ten but ultimately it's made up of many tens and even a hundred billion dollars if you give away $1 it's less why because it's made up of ones many ones but once what happens theoretically speaking if you have an infinite bank account you could take and take and take and take and take and how much did you deplete zero in other words when you reach a billion you didn't get any closer to the end than when you were at one and when you reach a truly and you're still gonna get any closer because you're dealing with infinity terrorists are Sheamus to me Mom you could take and take and take and take and take and think and you talk and it's good it's Chris Mack but you didn't take you didn't take me Mom the cake wasn't parched not even a scratch why because it's not fine that it's infinite I'm Nika Brianna you're dealing with pure infinity that came down it bent down it's God allowed himself to be subjected to gravity he said I'll come down why because I want a relationship with you and if I want a relationship with you it has to be on your terms it can be on my terms the whole point is a relationship a relationship has to be on your terms so infinity has to become finite that's what Toyota mitzvahs are but what is it it's infinity it's not finite mahkumat are in a name and I'm into the gomorian Ummah who follows the place of the Orang is a place and it's also beyond place because that's what the Orang represents but that's the have one of what traders so that's why I could learn applied Gemara and learn it a hundred times and then it's 300 times and I still didn't learn it I learnt it I know it but I didn't learn it you see it with whole machine read again and again Travie it was a new thing a new insight and doesn't end because you're not let's see what are they doing in an agent 15 what is my shine of Ramat second act of doing an agent for three and a half thousand years can you imagine what are they doing there's no kiddush normal of a mouth cuz no websites maybe cyberspace what do they do there all day verse 2 ins a dancer talk the burner semana what's true you ever wonder what's today so in since the gomorian aiding the alert trailer what do they learn what what they do very finished probably a few CMS awesome yeah learn more but the truth is that this is a very primitive question cuz we always speak from a place of finiteness in the world of infinity the question is not what they do but quite they're frustrated with how much they can't do with how much they can do interesting thing I once saw was a beautiful answer I once saw a letter about chuva true he became about sure that like sixty years old now go start learning Hebrew at sixty olive base Dominic commish and then Gamora tomorrow it's it's not just difficult it's very very difficult and he was learning a little bit of so frustrating friend so he wrote a letter so he wrote a letter to low bow it should have been expressed how frustrated he is with Tyra because he feels that he doesn't know anything she wrote back to him he said I just want to tell you those who learnt their whole life are much more frustrated those who learned their whole life are much more frustrated words the carpet that's what he said when you're frustrated because you say tomorrow I'll mow your learning your whole life and now you see you really got more and the more you know the more frustrated you are cuz the more you know the more you're aware of what you don't know and how much you don't know because you see the infinity so you said what's the answer to all of these people Loyola Kamala oligomers Vilayet have been hiring late but the women you don't have to finish the job but it doesn't give you an excuse not to start it you do what you do and that's that's that's your that's your mission that's your call in other words you're working for somebody you don't have to ask you know a fight you're working with you're doing what you have to do so that's the concept of terrorism to me ma that it really the area's is belonging users gets very very tall but it comes down to be able to allow somebody to sit down on it and get uplifted and this was the mechanism to be able to make you a shall I am a Jewish City how do you turn earth into heaven which is yerushalayim you turn earth into heaven through this process that's why he brings this story of the Verdi mammoth because it's a whole new Ivana you turn earth into heaven through the process of realizing that the divine had to come into earthiness in order to be able to elevate us to have it that's the essence of old tire amateurs that's what it really is that's what it is there's a pellet the commander says imagine I'm a partial evaluator why we associate the Mitzvah sucker you know why the source that Avril Lavigne who told his three guests the sha'a'lu Taha saw eights and parts of IAD has three Bedouin guests on a Bedouin three they told us out of it whatever that means can I add up yeah okay vadivasov in the isis they know it and those who know Pitta shun midlist of this is like a mother a gay masseuse Avril Lavigne who told the three angels the three guests he shun loot as I say to recline under the tree so their abundance a lot of them said I'm gonna give you a special Mitzvah which Mitzvah Mitzvah suka seven days a year eight days a year you're gonna hang out under the tree under the south that's the madness called a very big Shila here if everybody knows the Mishnah mr. suka suka haka Sri Lanka Luis Alberto acaba is a Sioux Condor trees like a souk in the house the scarf has to be detached disconnected can ever sue Condor a tree a guy called me 20 minutes before shouldn't be foolish and then Arif circus he went to the mountains circus he built a beautiful suka he goes out it's almost a beautiful tree over it what is he supposed to do first Isis taka Ceylon he sent me pictures we have to figure out a matzah and I remember we have to cut something I've beside his wife didn't agree to that so what sharp is supposed to be Shana taka sites so the Bauer tiniest varmints explain them waited to cavort ate is very tall on eights is very tall but as you say it's always connected to the earth to the ground in fact if the eight says you know I want to go a little higher so there if I'm gonna sever my roots there's nothing left it becomes lifeless sometimes in life we have an inclination we want to sever our roots because we don't want to be connected to anything we want to fly away and it's beautiful to fly away but the problem is when you have no roots there's nothing to fly anymore you could call the fabric addition because the tree becomes lifeless so paradoxically when you sever your roots you have to know if you're severing yourself from your own roots we were severing yourself from another tree's roots if you're severing yourself from another tree's roots motive them I know you that's a good thing if you separate yourself from your own roots from you rushon then you become a lifeless person yeah so that's very important idea the AIDS always has to be connected to the earth in fact it says the different introdution Hylas coil means mundane unholy profane but really coil antonov means sand cacao hiam the sand why is sand the opposite of kedusha the answer is because in sand you can't plant sand you know gone with the wind as an expression is you plant something the wind comes and the sand you can't establish you need offer to create roots kedusha is always connected to its roots the eight coil you disconnected the roots today i'm this tomorrow i'm this i don't have a core i'm not connected to my own roots so the tree can go very very very high but one condition it has to be connected to its root suka has to be disconnected from its roots what does this represent pre Matt and Tyler and after Matt and Tyler pre Matt and Tyler man touched God according to his own imagination of Ramat second Yaakov didn't have institutionalized religion like we have they didn't have a Siddha 2000 with they had a creative experience of Rama vino discovered God he was like hey you they became buddies from yes Mayan yeah he didn't have a father he didn't belong to a system I've roamed it and come home he didn't have a father who said surpass Enosh boob mistake about mercury cetera we were you buy miniature cars of the Gemara boom boom boom he got pets for something else for breaking the idols but not for not showing up to clear satire or not doing well in Homer he was a self-made man on every level the Gemara has an argument in breakfast it's Felix Phil is connected of a stick numb or carbona stick him right we once explained what's the most locus it's not some of us a little much like this looks like is what Dominic is for the other is davening was spontaneous you got a pin you spoke to guards they went out by 8 seats of the sewers about so they went out feel that he spoke the god car bonus everything was with a system there was a uniform how you did it what you did when you do it a wrong move it's my eyes what's Fela it's Fela spontaneous creativity of intimacy Oreste Fela institutionalized prayer fixable huh good question oh good question it was once a guy at a Habad house it was Friday night he didn't have a minion he had nine people so what do you do he goes outside and he waits for the next carbon cantos right and the guy doesn't know what he's getting into you know what I mean shabbos jumped and before you know it he's in yeshiva whatever so the guy guy comes by he says excuse me you're Jewish he says yeah he says can you do me a favor we have nine people that's Friday night we do the services we need ten could you come in they'll be a fast 20-30 minutes we'll have a nice meal afterwards of course I says I'm sorry I don't believe in organized religion about this looks at him and says do I look organized do we believe in organized religion of spontaneous religions that's the question and the truth is there's a tremendous virtue in each we all understand the my love spontaneity you're speaking to God you're not speaking like a robot many people's darlings I mean we know what Dominic looks like especially in our generation that's why they invented in every show hundreds of magazines and journals and them and newsletters and they've retired and they're so nobody should cast for some won't ever be bored cicadas Imre Muslim kids I'll tell you the master there's always what to read on the table ok others didn't have this it was genuine it was an emotional was from the corner on the other hand this somebody who takes it serious the standard of the Fela yeah if somebody challenges somebody challenges somebody that it took all beyond his mood to go beyond his personal experience of the moment which one is it before Michael Terry there was only one method of you disguise and that is you connected to the God of your understanding as they say in 12 steps you've connected to the God of your imagination that guard you could connect to but it's like a tree what sayst it's like a tree it goes very very high but it's still connected to earth you are a member of planet Earth after Matt and Tyler what happens is of one of a heart Matt and Tyler they had traitor before also but the traitor of Martin Taylor is Annie give Russia I'm not that I sham came down into the Tyler infinity came into the Toyota mistress now I connect not only to the God of my understanding to the God of my imagination now I connect to God on his terms I get uplifted to a place of infinity so therefore will you talk about suka pre-mapped and played after mundane it's the same thing but there's one difference one is taxes eighths it's still under a tree which is connected to the earth and then after Martin Taylor it's the same reality but you're not connected anymore to earth in other words you're elevated to a place that is even beyond Earth even beyond the limitations of the terrestrial creature who lives on earth who lives on planet Earth they say that in garrard they say an interesting story garol exam day the spot the fiducia are in passed away he was the first guy ever passed away 1866 of Gimmelwald he didn't have children who showed him at 13 children and 12 of them passed away during his lifetime including his son of Ramar the guy who would have succeeded him but he had a grandson awesome the specimens name was debuted are you late and he took over as he became the secondary up he wasn't a song he was a grandson he was only 21 years old and so it was very hard for the older garrison them some was still in cots to shut him was told by the cots kit except the 21 year old so summers was a great great giant and he became a big revie passed away tougher summer hey hey schrott yes doc Gair Hassidim de passed away 1805 and schrott he was a rebel for decades and he built up an equal to huge civic empire but it was very hard for people you know 21 22 it was a YouTube henyk of Alexander Alexander was also a great giant and they say that he told all the Hasidim is I'm gonna tell you on mice and he says that it was once a mountain called Mount Everest whatever whatever the name of the mountain he gave a huge mountain and everybody tried to climb it then nobody could people fell and bruised got bruised and wounded and died and finally there was one gibber who said I'm gonna do it and for months he worked out he made himself fit he got the right gear he got training he equipped himself perfectly and impeccably to climb the mountain and indeed he scales the heights of the mountain and he reaches the top and he's ecstatic what nobody can achieve this man achieved an appendix says he comes to the top of the mountain and he sees a child sees a child the top of the mountain he can't believe it I'm the great say I'm the great keeper I'm the great warrior I made it to the top muster so you don't understand I was born I was born here so he told the oldest I said the me says he was born on top of the mountain that's fine doesn't take away he was born on top of the now some people are born on top of the mountain you could accept you could receive from them doesn't take away from the fact that you put in decades and decades and decades of work and you climb tall mountains sometimes a person is born on top of the mount on one level in other words that's a mountain the top of Mount Everest maybe you could climb if you know what you're doing the top of their Malaya's perhaps you could climb but nobody could climb to the moon or even lower than the moon you can't climb to the moon why it doesn't have to do not because you're not fit not because you're not strong and not because you're not disciplined because you can reach the top of the mountain afterwards you're in mid-air you need a spacecraft you need a vehicle to come and sweep you up and bring you there so man can reach very very lofty heights no question our brains our minds can take us to great places and they need to take us to great places but they could take us to the top of mountains once I reached the peak of the mountain I simply don't have the tools to go beyond not because I don't want to I'm not because I'm bad but I am Who I am now you need a spaceship to take you that's already a different experience that's we're ultimately the Bala Tonya sees the true value of Terra mitzvos there were those who saw the value of Terra mitzvahs they always tried to explain how you minute is how you main how understandable in other words how much it fits into the human imagination for the altar every no that's not the essence of terror and Mitzvahs the essence of terror mitzvos is that you reach the ultimate peak of your spirituality but that's what it is the ultimate mountain but above the mountain you can't touch by definition all I can touch of God is the God of my understanding how meditation mindfulness spirituality deep self-discipline awareness which people do people do and they grasp deep spiritual truths of life there's no question in fact sometimes you would hope that people steeped in religion would grasp a little of the spirituality that these people grasp because they spend a lifetime in self-discovery honesty integrity and spiritual connection but that's not where the contribution of with that ends you describe begins that's what turned out Anika very sure Amma that actually so you're on the top of the mountain but did you get any closer to the moon did you get any closer to the marker Mars your thirty two thousand miles up did you get any closer to infinity by definition you can't which really would mean that there's something very sad about it and that is by definition man and the divine could never meet it how could we it's like trying to pull yourself up with your hear you ever tried you ever try pulling yourself up by your hear it's not gonna work you know why cuz who's pulling you up by your hair how are you trying to pull yourself up to infinity through finiteness through your mind through your heart the tools that you're using a finite tools so they cannot bring you to a place that is beyond themselves because they are the ones who are bringing you to that place so they can only bring you to a place where they are even though it's a very tall mountain Annie Carolyn Anika very shaman means that Toyota mitzvos is infinity compressed itself and finiteness but it's still infinite and when you sit down on that branch so then what happens is there's an experience of insight which transcends the human intellect the human experience human emotion that's the uniqueness of Toyota Avensis so therefore therefore there's always the types of Spartan that looked for reasons for mitzvos what's the reasons now what is it what's mortgage smock to have a mitzvah with a reason or a mister without a reason it depends how you looking at from which perspective if there if you know if the goal of the Mitzvah is to suit your imagination then you want mitzvahs with reasons because then it's cash Mac you know explain it to me if you understand that the goal of the Mitzvah is actually to take you to a place of infinity then the reason is just you know who it's just it's diluting it it's diluting the wine so in you described you have different streams but this is what his Nakota is is real nakute is that the great value of the Mitzvah the great value of Toyota is that it comes from a place that's far deeper than understanding that which you don't understand awesome this takes you to a place of a safe of in Southborough home that's the Anika very honest so these three things Toyota's doctor to military dividing bullets of them even though they wouldn't establish and Kashmir's solar fighter how can they hold down the H the answer is they were enclosed in physicality but it's really brown and it's really from a place of infinity and therefore it lifts you up and therefore the world to that place of insight this class is brought
