Amazing fusion of Soul & Body: Best proof of immortality of Neshama - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

now chapter 51 we're getting close to making a CM ananya but the last three chapters are um heavy chapters a lot of deep ideas and in this chapter in particular in P the AL goes back to what he said on chapter 35 so I'm going to ask you to turn to chapter 35 for a minute or a little more turn there so we could read it together to refresh our memories and that is on page mealid which is you know close to the beginning of chapter 35 in middle of the page or towards the top of the page about 10 lines down he quotes a a a story a recording of in the Z kades about an individual called the Yuka the Yuka means the child that nourishes that uh that you know nourishment that y that breastfeeds and all that concept Yuka this and who is this referring to the son of there was a sage and sage is quoted in the and he had a son who was a gifted son usually Yuka is a term given to a gifted child so the Yuka so he brings the brings the following there's a a wise person his eyes are in his head asks where else is one's eyes of course they're here they're in one's head this is the head so what's the what's the you know this is the way you are to read the verse this that we learned a person means a person a human being a Jew should not walk with his head revealed in other words bear no y no keeper four cubits four my why not because the the divine presence rests on a person's head and every anyone that wants to be considered wise his eyes and his speech are in his head in the mouth in by and and and this is what it means that it exists on the head when you want to know about the light that is lit on the head you need to have oil begin and begin goof that's a reference to the body if you want a candle to shine you need oil cuz the oil holds the the makes the wick burn the the Goof of a person is the the wick and the fire is lit above through it the king commands and he says and he says quote oil upon your head do not miss don't don't be lacking an oil on your head the because the light that's on your head must have oil and what's the oil not the wick I'm sorry what's the oil and those are the good deeds M action and this is the meaning that a wise person their eyes are in their head now in simple English what did what does the Z say the Z says that it's not t study that's that's the that's the oil but the oil is the and the means that a person who's a and we all are to be we want the the uh the head to have the light of hem so it requires specifically so it's not about the placement of the head as we asked in the beginning in the question the zah says a person's eyes are in his head the of course spiritually the the eyes in the head meaning the light The Shining of God to inspire the person which is associated with is specifically fueled by oil and what is oil not the study of T Good Deeds this is this is the Z now we explained it already in at that time but the out please turn back to today's chapter p on page says this will clarify what we're going to learn today is going to clarify this chapter is going to clarify more of that statement of the Zohar and why is it relevant to us and to to to the trajectory of Tanya because in chapter 35 Dr said that then in 36 and 37 he said how do you make this this oil the spiritual oil through making an abold for God on Earth that was 36 and then in 37 he said and that's the whole purpose of mashiah and what we do now is the will be revealed later and then in 38 and 39 and 40 he starts speaking about kavana where is kavana most felt in love and fear of God feelings the emotions once he spoke about that so then in chapters from 41 through 43 middle of 43 speaks about all reference and then from 40 middle of 43 through 50 he speaks about various levels of ABA which we discussed and now he goes back to what he began chapter 35 which by the way is also based on the mission statement of the entire book of Tanya and which is on the cover of the page the title page ALB says this book comes L hative A in Deuteronomy for this thing the Torah is near you very near you in your heart in your m in your mouth in your heart and to act upon and Al explained that we're not talking about a sadik's love we're talking about a love that has an that's it's a love that that kicks in and generates action so he spoke about that but that's the mission statement and what's the mission statement the most important part of this mission statement out of and from that verse in what's the the third one which is what he says in chapter 35 so we have a PK in the Torah supported by the saying in the Z that he quotes in 35 and now the AL wants to bring it all together what's the CER between that and a a what is the association with and that's what he does in this chapter and this chapter is going to add that there is an intrinsic connection between wisdom and action until now we don't have that nuda in t we just have the nuda we have to point that action is loudest but now he want now he's going to explain to us how action impacts as well that's the that's the objective of chapter 51 now let's learn inside to have additional explanation to understand the term the term the terminology the of the yanuka quoted in chapter 5 de 35 de as we mentioned 35 we first must preface we need to still preface and explain what does it mean that the dwells where did dwell in the house of the temple and particularly in the house of the holy of holies we also must understand what's anywhere that we say that the rests like when 10 Jews to get together says in is there what does that mean why what's what do you mean what does that mean Dr says and this is his question it says God FS God's presence God's honor fills the entire Earth there's no place without Hashem so if that's the case sir what's the what's the novelty that the that the rests here the God is all over call him God call him Hashem is all over and and and therefore this begs interpretation what does it mean that there's a specific place called The basa mdash the Holy Temple within the basa mikdash the holy of holies the K which the went into once a year and over there is the I thought he's all over that's wants to answer that question so let's see how he answers it the idea can be understood better since it's written from my flesh now this these three words are used thousands and thousands of times in it's a key phrase from my flesh I perceive ex means I see God in other words you need to see God from your body by studying your body and knowing the anatomy of your body and how the body works the mind the heart the the feet the hand the the the stomach everything works you'll understand better a so this idea explains from the bat from the AL here and in is an if you want to really understand God M you have to understand your body and you could understand more of God by understanding more of the body so that's what he says here I'm sorry just as man's Soul man's it fills all 248 limbs of the body to toe so if that's the case the soul Thea we have right where is the Nish it's in US Masha we're in us all over us yet continuing inside the primary Abode of the and we arrest is in a person's brain and from the brain it extends itself to all Limbs and each limb receives from this that's in the brain energy that's suitable for it based on its composition that is the eye to see how much of the soul is there in the eye as much that it takes to see and the ear to hear and the mouth to speak and the feet to go as we see in actuality in the brain one feels whatever happens to the 248 limbs whatever happens to them when your little toenail is stubbed where is it felt in the brain when you have a a sensation in another part of your bad body where is it felt in the brain the brain is the nerve center yet not not yet and that is why because the brain is in the nerve center right because because the the is in the nerve center in the brain it allocates to each limb how much Vitality it needs the I doesn't need the same amount as the feet and the feet like the hand and the hand like the ears say continuing after the period on page there is no difference in the reception of the vitality and the energy of the limbs of the body from the soul in its very Core Essence that we would argue and position that the essence says it's not that the soul is divided into 248 Li the soul is is one simple wholesome entity its highest is all together the difference is in theim in the reception in the limbs which are divided 248 different Libs every single place has its imagery its position and hence it has a certain amount of K that comes into each one based on this we understand please turn your pages down top of that that the very Core Essence of the [Music] he's saying that it's not that way we we're not going to say that the imagery and positions of the limbs everyone to their own the feet the hand the mouth stomach creates a real difference in the soul to argue that the soul has 248 compartments no the soul is p one energy one entity because otherwise you would say you are you would you you would be positioning that this gashi this physical differences with vness and imagery and appearance are would be like the appearance of the Goof God forbid and there's a difference so so the soul wouldn't be one wholesome entity it would be a composite of two of 248 different strands and different images and different positions and to say that to say that says the Al it's not true Ella rather the the soul is all one Essence and it's spiritual it's notash look at look at the adjectives that he says here simple and stripped from any and all physical imagery so we have three words you know ident ident in a way identical but the way it's used here it's it's a little different in other words this is one wholesome entity pure of div of it's not divisible but let me explain not that it's not divisible because I didn't get a chance yet to divide it and when one of you guys will work in a lab somewhere in Washington or New Mexico and you'll have the time and the patience and and the support you will be able to divide the soul and no one has that yet had that chance but one day one guy will do it wrong you cannot do that because Hashem intrinsically did not allow the soul to be divisible Where is the body yes not only did he allow it he wants it and that's the way a healthy body works and as our doctor can tell us when it's not that way we have ailments we have problems we have illness and sickness so the the division of Limbs is a very healthy things but that's in the Goof the Goof is so get that word formed developed the is is pure let's continue and it's stripped from any and it's also stripped from any sense of place and measurement and physical limitation because from its perspective it's one essence and when you're talking about an Ence it is not that's what I said earlier it's not possible not that it's not not yet done it's impossible for it to say that the soul is more in the head than in the feet when we said earlier both in Tanya and earlier here that the Abode of theisha is in the brain that's not the that's the way the Nisha finds a place to park itself to distribute its energy IE the nerve center but not that the soul is brain cuz if that would be the case someone who doesn't everyone has a brain but someone that doesn't act as their brain has no real relationship with soul and that's not true so the fact that the soul th you know it's a bod it's it's it's place from where it Maneuvers and and controls the body is the brain that's just an abode that's not its Essence that's what he says here let's go back it's not possible to say regarding the very Core Essence of the soul of the to say it's more in the brain within the head more than the feet why not because its very quesence isn't in the category of definition and place and physical limitation 600 13 strands of energy are Incorporated in a general way its Core Essence ready to be actualized and when it when it the Revelation takes place from its concealed state to enen 248 Libs and the 365 the body by them investing itself in the vivifying soul which also has 248 and 365 which equal 63 so what he's saying is like this what's the what is he adding over here is adding over here that when we say the is one wholesome unit and it's not divisible and it's not to be divisible that doesn't mean that the 613 Li Limbs and and Senus and everything that comes from it doesn't come out doesn't come from it it it gives room for it but it isn't a divisible entity that's a very very unique idea and very it needs a a lot of thought how can you have how can you have something that in itself is not divisible and it leads to divisibility that's what we're saying then the and its very Core Essence is non divisible it's beyond the visibility and yet what comes out of it a divisibility that's the uniqueness of what Hashem made with the the that on one hand the is pure you say UND divisible at the very same time Hashem put within this the that's that when it Parts itself in the nerve center in the brain it should then be actualized and give vitality and energy to all the two 613 different parts of the body and that is a and that's what we say in the morning part of what we say right so generally explains how refers to the body this body of ours is wondrous how it works you know you know time know people you know they get hurt or this that the body heals itself in amazing ways it it's really really awesome it's amazing how they able you see the K of God mle the Wonder the wonderous God that a body on its own you break a God forbid a hand or foot and then of course you know you do the operation you do therapy But ultimately it heals itself it's tremendous or a cold a flu yeah of course some people got for to pass away from a flu and all those things but we see so many that don't and there's a m losses here here I'm just adding that within not with other words the mly loses that we talk about the morning is the body MTH loses as is a continuation for as Yar right of the body the crevices the crevices that are Clos the crevices that are open and the body knows which ones should be open at which time and which ones not and if not God forbid we have illness that's amazing here I'm thinking that there's another aspect to the ma it is this idea that from not non something that's impossible possible to be divided cuz it's not divisible it's one wholesome s entity i. the soul the the what comes out of the the 613 divisible places how did that happen the answer is because Hashem made the body as well as we learned in chapter 49 in t two chapters ago that Hashem chose the body this adds more on understanding to what the ALB said that the choice the body of a Jew the body of every person the body of a Jew in particular is a holy is a holy entity and that's why you don't have a right to cremate yourself and on and on and on because the body is is clearly indicative of God of Hashem that that I want the soul is left a person after they pass away the soul has has part of the Soul has gone away right most of the Soul has gone away whatever no do whatever you want to this body and by the way the early philosophers Plato Aristotle and others they believe that I'm not that I'm the big student of those philosophies but those that studyed those philosophies no they did not believe in the immortality of the Soul whether they even belied there was a soul is is very questionable but even if let's say we'll say they did believe there was a soul immortality of the Soul no way Titus says yeah immortality of the Soul okay that's the soul what about the body what about the Goof comes along the see this explains at length that the Goof the body is just as holy and you have no right to touch the body and the body should go back to Hashem who gave who loaned he gave us a loan give him back the loan loan the way it is if you get a loan and you and you miss and you use up the loan and all that it's wrong you have to give it back in its pure State like a lease exactly it's a lease if you give back the car with a scratch you got to pay for it thank you thank you very much 100% exactly so says here that this goof has an amazing feature to it has all these compartments yet it was animated through a soul for so many years and the soul is one wholesome entity so how do you how do you have these compartments and the answer is made those compartments and said that I want this wholesome entity called The Soul which is indivisible to unite with a body and the body I and God made the body with these divisible parts and for when it gets together there's animation I don't have right now a good muscle to ex Express that but there has to be like with with with u not Sparks anyway May if you guys think about it you come up with a good muscle you know the fusion of the indivisible and the divisible happening in a way what like a traffic light like a traffic light one right but it has to be the colors okay okay good fine that's an interesting Marshall never thought of that okay so this is uh we'll continue tomorrow but this is uh we're middle of this idea and you'll see how it click it it comes all back okay so I don't see everyone tomorrow have a great day take care bye-bye
