THE CHABURAH Tomer Devorah: Emulating the 8th Middah of Kesser - The Mouth that Emits Only Good

Okay, good evening friends. We're continuing in the holy safer parakeni which is about the mid of kesar. So as our custom is we're going to review the eight ways and we'll read again the eighth how one emulates in the mid of that one has to incorporate many different acts which are the primary way to emulate kesar. The first one which encapsulates everything is anova. Anova which encapsulates everything. It is dependent on kaser. It's the mida upon all the midis. It doesn't elevate above but it always looks down for two reasons. Number one, it's embarrassed and it's looking down in order to be mate. And it's primarily dependent on the head that one doesn't you know raise their head in an arrogant manner. Then we had the thoughts one should emulate one's thoughts should emulate kesser just like the does not cease from having good thoughts and evil does not enter because it's complete and midin doesn't enter. So one's thoughts always have to be free from any degrading type of thought thinking improper thoughts improper subjects thinking about lowly things and just like Torah preceded the world and Tory the way he explains it just like the Makava of Keser encapsulates ates the essence of Tyra that preceded the world and therefore one's thoughts should not be diverted outside of the realm of Tyra. One should think about the greatness of Hashem, his actions, his good deeds. The uh the rule is that no foreign thoughts should enter your mind. This was the mile of Rab Shim and his friends. And when Rabioi diverted his mind even a little bit, Rab Shiman gave him rebuke. The third is the forehead. In the forehead, there shouldn't be any harshness. It should be like the forehead of goodwill of um even if you find people who are angry, you should assuage their anger because the forehead on high always uh shows favor and you too a person also should appease those who have uh cast and guide them and And uh if you're pleasant to people, you'll be able to exert influence of rats upon them. The fourth is one's ears. One's ears should be inclined only to hear what is good. Improper ideas, false ideas should not enter at all. Just like in the ears on high, so to speak, midin doesn't enter. Lashhara doesn't enter. So we're going to see what do you mean there is mid what why in all of these descriptions of it's it's all goodwill and favor and humility where does come in we're going to see there is miden but in the three top sphero there's no miden up there is only in the lower seven spheres okay that's what we'll see a little bit later tonight um the fifth is one's eyes should not look at any drauna they should always be open to have mercy on people. When you see that sorrow of an you should not close your eyes. You should be on him in front of other people. The six is one's nose. There should not be any wrath smoke and with your nose there should only be goodwill even for those who are ano hagun. You should always want to fulfill the desires of others. The seventh, your face should always be illuminating, giving off light panim. If we could see the face of Hashem, Hashem's face would always be radiating rats. Likewise, somebody looks at your face, they should only seek and goodwill. And finally, the eighth. Let's be the eighth. Hashm the eighth pivot should only emit goodness and the decrees of your words. You should only emit words oft and speaking of calming people, being pleasant to people. You should not emit disparaging words, not curse, not anger, not wrath, not empty chatter. When you're about to say something, you should ask yourself, is this something would say? That's a pretty high standard. But you should to emulate the mouth on high. You should ask that is my mouth similar to the mouth on high. Now, Hashem's mouth, it's not silent. It's active, but it's active in as a positive force of good. The mouth on high is not sealed at all. Does not refrain from doing good always. Therefore, you should not be silent from speaking good on everything from emitting from your mouth goodness and blessing always. We just enumerated eight good qualities. They're all under the banner of humility. Why? Because all these mid are under the umbrella of the mid of they're all found in the upper limbs. If a person wants to come close to theina to be similar to him, remember we said that through our actions, it opens up a commensurate action on high. So when in the way we act toward others, we're we activate that particular corresponding mid. So if you want to uh you want to open up his wellsp springs to the lower world you need to be [snorts] whole in these two the first are the those are the let's see how the again said it in the very beginning remember he said you see all the 13 mid of the first parak or all the mid of kesser. So what's peric bay? Peric bay is not the mid of kesser. I'm sorry. Peric alif are the acts of kesser. Peric bay are the character traits of kesser. If you want to know why does so far everything we saw was how kind and understanding need to be of so like where does mid come in doesn't hashem punish he does but those come from lower mid right now we're talking about so are part of the that's part of the me which falls under that sounds like it's more of a din related is punishment. >> Sounds like it. >> But it's like boomerang effect from something which is essentially rakim. In other words, the punishment that would have come to us, we negate it and as a result of that rahim, it boomerangs back on on others. Now, so it's interesting because in the way how do you emulate? In other words, how what is the way to emulate the >> when a person does something to you, you shouldn't uh >> once a person receives some punishment then the way to view him is that he's a complete sad because all the miden has in other words the way you emulate that you should draw him close. So in terms of the pra in terms of the acts the acts of how we emulate it as there's no and how we're going to act okay now this is very interesting ready we know you can't always act with because there is something called there are That person has to be whole in there 10 and the seven lower sphero which are below the top three the midas had is prevalent in and you a person needs to be shim in those midas as well. So sometimes we need to use against says I'm reading from the you're not say so and we're going to have to sometimes use if let's say you see a guy next to you by he's on his phone so you go over to him ah you're so you're you're such a sadic every Jew Choose a big saddic here. Here's a piece of potato. You have to use midin. You have to say power of kindly shut that off and take it outside the sh. You have to do that. So what do you mean? But that's not kesser. Okay, that's true. It's not kesser. But you can't be kessering all day long. Can't be in kesser mode always. Listen to this. But there are days of the year that the mid is not active at all and therefore we don't act with miden at all or there going to be times during the day that we're just in kesser mode. We're not in any miden mode. So now we're go we're learning an amazing concept that the mid are dependent on time. Like for example, there are days of the year that is not active. People don't need them. The the seven bottom are not active. Only dominates those times or even on days that is active but not every hour of the day. There going to be hours that kers needed during those days or during certain hours of the day. You need to use the above eight we just mentioned. What are they? Let's try to get to it now. The other seven lower even though they're going to be needed at the right time. These times are not conducive for them. the light of which is prevalent at that time will nullify them and therefore don't use the in those times. So there's certain days that does not operate only or there are certain days does operate but there are times during the day that it shouldn't. You ready? in Shabas. Shabas is only >> there's no like Shabas. >> There's no there's no ganam. Hashem doesn't so to speak scrutinize and and rebuke the and therefore we shouldn't the world is sweetened in the essence of delight. There's no judgment on Shabas. then you need to use all of the above mentioned in order to open up the wellsp springsings on high. We're going to see because if you're not acting in on Shabas all the all the dening on Shabas is you're supposed to be to open up Kesser. So if you're acting antithetical to kesser, you're causing like a traffic jam between what's what's active in the heavens and your and and the kavanos you're having and your actions. We'll get into this more in the next paragraph, but I just want to so to speak share with you. The days that kesser is active are yamtiff shabas yum kipper or during davening or while you're learning while you're learning there's no is this like the behind the idea of like if you're learning like >> that's why you're a lot of bully or >> no that when you're learning then is learning so you couldn't something can get them off can get them there's no d >> okay I mean that might be different. That's Torah protects. But the time of learning is a time to only use midasar not. So how do you rebuke then? >> I don't know. >> Here we we'll try to read two more lines. What's wrong with let's say using the seven lower sphero on chabas? Because if you're going to be having these intents in your to the lights of in your and you're acting in your actions the opposite how you going to be opening up the channels of high. You're actually pushing it away with your actions. And we're going to elaborate more on that >> next week >> with the help of the Almighty. pass.
