be listening to the weekly partial podcast with Ari Gold wag recorder with the show's never-ending assistance in Ramah my shoes real 57 79 2019 this week's parsha in hoods lords is a hurry Mouse and that's the pressure we're going to look at and I'd like to share with you a thought from a crime-free tender based on a puzzle in our partial it's as I guess which martinez Kukui cyrus mesh but i assure ya say some dumb vocab ahem Annie Hashem that there is an obligation to keep the laws in the statutes that a person should do in order to live in them Ania Shem I am a Shem so so he brings down Virtual Console our sages say - c'mon uma daf pee for hybrids idea to live in them to live by them Villa Seamus mahem the first concert that we have in regards to the baha'i by him which is living with the Torah the the Torah is a way of life is that a person in the special drush of huzzah huzzah teach us that there's an obligation to keep the Torah only in it in a situation where it wouldn't cause a death because nephesh dick has caught IRA if a person would lose his life except for three cardinal laverra's three cardinal sins the person would lose his life if you would keep the Torah so then so he's obligated to break the Torah for example on Shabbos of a person is sick a person is sick in such a way that he might lose a limb or he might lose his life there's an obligation to break Shabbos to get in the car and go to the hospital that's one example got me some Cameron came shamu cetera he and I sent us crime the idea is that even if it's something which is a terrible transgression again we're not speaking here about idolatry adultery and murder those three cannot be done even if a person will lose their life okay so but since the essence of the tour is something that gives life thus or something which gives eternal life but it also gives literal life so Rock and Mick Mick remove cut-ins the venom son of Shaina there's only specific instances where we're obligated not to not to give our lives for example the person will be forced to convert to a religion which involves idolatry for example Christianity so that person will be obligated to give up their life woolum sweetness i mcComish must humor michelle a possible hymen we need to understand the depth of the meaning of the of the obligation of this work verse of a high man so this is going to be a springboard from time for learners to speak about the different levels of different concepts of living the Torah life what is the idea of living at our life what is the idea of keeping the mitzvahs in a way that we live through them Miami timeshare term is Cavanaugh's what is the life the tour intense why delay the time - me move on excuse me not just speaking about physical life alone she was forced off Shana that we should protect our physical lives but goofily we should hurry up like we said that you know it's the same a life or a lot to transgress the Torah can't just mean that giddy like a bellhop honest about my sponsor hi hi ma'am North on is same what is the idea of living a life of Torah navin's like we talked about Haram ban we're gonna understand this based on the words of the ROM ban I'm a virus I'm a drink association by marushin iam I meets him he speaks about the different levels of true life true spiritual life shall our autumn of the human being and the first level is the lowest level person keeps the Torah but he's doing it shallow the Schmoe he's doing enough for the sake of heaven he's doing it maybe for honor maybe for wealth bit de neri quotes Raman Veda you should know ki kya adami mrs. Caffey econo Salam a person's life when it comes to living a life of Torah it depends on a person's preparation yeah I submit socially lachemann when a person fulfills the obligations of the Torah for the wrong reasons just because perhaps it's a social thing that a person does maybe it's because there's gonna be honor like we'll see I'm gonna ask a couple Pross he's gonna get some kind of reward you keep an by them has a yummy Robin but you went across some a covered person will actually merit to live in this world if a person does it for the wrong reasons even they'll have honor they'll have wealth to have a long life then I wear with smiler about this verse says in proverbs chapter 3 verse 16 on its left side is is wealth and honor Rachel - me Limbaugh I shall copy those on the left side of things we'll see what that means shortly but those are go on the left side of things they're doing the left side of prison see it suhara the evil inclination it represents doing it should lay the Schmoe enough for the right reasons he brings them I wanna watch her lava dissection this is reclined Freelander speaking it's prohibited to serve Hashem chili leche mom when I think of a process in a way where a person is doing and only because I want to get the reward okay Cheyenne Montgomery Keisha I got Matt like you have a magic fish maka I'm sorry but when a person there there is a opportunity or a time where it's appropriate to do it she'll learn this one for the wrong reasons if a person starts off doing it for the wrong reasons and it's intended to get to do it for the right reasons ultimately will tarnish lavish man makers Madre especially the Schmo okay so then it's permitted to use this level of shillelagh Schmo doing it for the wrong reasons autumns eschelon any women drinking shoulder shimmies worthless Schmo persons such as this who is serving God for the wrong reasons not doing it for God's sake rather for his own sake special English male shy but especially miss Dunham has become less brahs he's interested in a reward maybe it's if he's a big Torah scholar he'll get a lot of Honor it's a magical massage alone was there so correspond to the fact that he's serving God in a way which is this worldly Catholic Allah's Harmon on one side gets his reward in this world as well shakeela mausoleum and Robin boy of a cosmic covered such a person lives in this world with a tremendous amount of wealth honor who writes the column Isaiah as kiss car macabre Harlem has he wants this world so he gets as reward this world case it was an amazing thing she'll call you a Dominica we found that there's a general principle that God is our shadow according to the way that we act just like a shadow when you move your hand so the shadow moves with your hand so to Akhilesh mark with the way that we interact with God the way that we serve God this is the way that he interacts with us the way he rewards us the the we become the person that we that we think about right if we're involved in this world so we becoming this worldly person and then our mitzvahs are nothing more than this worldly yes it's better than doing it than not doing at all of course but it's nothing more than that it's just the physical thing okay so that's the first level any contrast is I'm not gonna read every single thing cuz it's a long piece but he contrasted it with somebody does Italy shame shame I am I mean in both those go on the right side what does that mean they do it with all of their strength they do it less Molly do it for God's sake they do it because they want to please God they want to do it because it's the right thing to do they're doing it shame shall mine for God's sake for heaven's sake so that's the highest level we're going to see we're going to rise in the levels as we go through this now we go to the second level Iceland or Nestle is a case by Helena Baba are people who do it not because they want something in this world not because they want honor or wealth because they're gonna be paid to be a great speaker somewhere rather they do it because they want to get well my boy they want to get the world to come so the Run button makino you so much sure him is asking me missus I want to lose Christman in law in um how Bo so to somebody who fulfills the commands because he wants to merit the world to come shame I didn't mera these people serve God got out of fear right which means and I do because I'm afraid to get to the next world and have nothing to show for my life I'm afraid then I'm gonna end up burning in hell is I can become an awesome the not so mr. terris I'm an ashram it to be too violent so such a person gets exactly what they want they get that when I get to the world to come they do not burn in hell they do not get the punishment of the wicked they do chuhwa they repent they do what's right unleash lamb Madre goes a hero they have this level of fear serving out of the fear like a parents of like a child is afraid of his parents gonna smack him I was a year astonished mr. Costa back upon us and in Madera show him this is just fear of punishment with clouds that gunk in Iraq epochal Chicago ang Bahamas a like gamma a the mr. schimscheimer en America been wiser this includes this level includes somebody some time free liner who Erbs God because he's afraid that something miss out on something in this world because he's doing something wrong you need a patina massima enough use there's a certain aspect here of ego forget it's a sham he serves God I'm a package in the yeah but it's a sham Allah on Ashford him he's serving God he's afraid that if he doesn't serve God properly that he'll be punished okay so this is obviously I'm at the highest level gum and rakish public initially lachemann this also involves a certain aspect of doing it for the wrong reasons jashin oh man otsuma he's hearing God for his own sake so he doesn't get so he doesn't burn in hell so that he doesn't so that he gets reward in the world to come okay third level had a four this is again the Rumba how about ice cream it's was may have a kid in a hurry there's something called serving God out of love now this is a much higher level obviously this is a child who once the service parent wants to bring wants to make the parent happy him in East K Harlem has there when it comes to the matters of this world Kenyon honey scream a terrible person who because of a healer from diocese but Sir such a person will get everything that they need in this world you scared of myself I'm 70 min ago oil on a llama bar so who's some slow motion when I get to the world to come so then their merit is complete there so it's very interesting because you're a person is doing something not for their own sake they're not doing it so I will get the world to come I'm not doing it so I will get this world I'm doing it out of love for God I'm doing because I want God to be happy I'm doing because I want my father and having to be happy so that level is a very high level of course it's possible for all of us to attain and when a person attains that level so a person gets the world to come even though that wasn't his what was in his mind he gets the world to come and he gets this world as well I don't climb for you down there explains he married Emma - Emma madruga / MA because Ava's Hashem there's they're serving as Shem lachemann for the right reasons for God's sake Shema draga Eliana's I definitely found the yearís I reminisce that this level is where person rises up to the fear of God's greatness fear of God's loftiness and this fear is not a fear I'm gonna get punished but rather it's a fear like a child is afraid to do something that will make his parent upset my dear Bala mr. Sharma like mr. Shaw arrest on call triggers - oh it's not as hashem is ba person was a true costed a righteous individual who does things in order to give God satisfaction I feel like I'm with the ROM shame about him he may do things even though he's not obligated to do I have a lush am who I really say it's because of his love of God that he serves God and he's coming on myself I'm tell him so such a person merits to have good in this world hi ba sequentially Michonne when I get to the next world so their merit is complete their allocation table and he brings down that we need to understand my drea has changed as a message a mahira miss ask him into someone else's case Lama ba in the second level where a person serves God out of fear and his intent is to try to get a portion the world to come skaar me whether my BA nationally - of tellin the verse there says that's quite about unarmed on there so shall rest there in goodness my dynamic comments car becoming a myself but we don't see that they get their reward in this world as well only a person who does it completely the Sh'ma does it completely for the sake of heaven or on the first level all he's concerned about is exclusively his his this world the world the world that we are in now is work liking me real good news to hurry up Jammu a good mr. chamois Avila Schmo so question is why in the second level where they're trying to get the world to come why is it they don't get anything in this world come on form a common Scarborough my Zen first level we said they do get their reward in this world sure my drink I show them as a chamois era here's a patina shillelagh Sh'ma what do I know I can't ask our mother my Zen so why don't they get their reward in this world especially being that they're doing things flourish more they're not doing it for all the way for the right reasons okay so we need to understand this we'll come back to that question now skaara mashallah even the Alamodome Isaac can love it it's a sham what is the idea here he says an amazing thing when it comes to this third level why does a person get rewarded in this world and the third level is because in this world we need we need Calum in order to serve God properly if we're truly serving God prop which really want to serve God we're doing the Sh'ma for the right reasons so then we need the proper ability to do that we need the the vessels that allow us to make it possible for us to do that me right where my drink - latisha my comments karma got my name Isaiah with this idea that they receive reward in this world in our comments I don't has a kiss karma she wasn't like them I said they're not receiving this world as a reward like the first-level aleca Kailyn let her cleanest of its essential em they're receiving this world only as a vessel as a means in order to be able to expand their service of God give me shake you know my Drago's English Milo has Zeki cantilever this Hashem since they want to use this world to serve God okay in second on the fifth time gum tell you whether my zester then there's no danger if we give them this world as well mark iam it's mascara Daschle ahem we expand I could have Sparkle by giving the person whose focuses on serving God with pure motives so that person can handle having this world and it won't drag them down there's my signal I'm Kaylen surf with Hashem because it will help them be able to expand their looking expanded spirituality expand the service of God by having this world however the second level person who he's a little bit confused he's doing he's worried about himself he's worried about not having the fires of Ganim right so he's worried about himself and he's worried about his portion of work to come shillelagh Schmoe not for the right reasons not for God's sake so such a person if we give him this world he's gonna end up in trouble he's gonna end up falling into the traps of this world so he can't have this role on the next world he can only have the next world that's level 2 and level 3 my draga doll now we get to level 4 I mean one session we took it to Vegas viburnum this is the highest level so a person serves God because he's completely attached Tasha I'm ban oh isn't it calling any other miser those who leave all the matters of this world completed this connect from this world reanima she thought my love cue Luana valley goof they're not concerned about their physical needs they don't feel like they're a physical being come on shot cavernous environment bill vada all of their thoughts all their focus is only on serving their creator Keeney Emilio big knife from shame on each boy like the concept of Elisha the Prophet that he attached his soul to the to God's heavenly name the God's honourable name yet hewlet odd the goof of an ashram this is obviously a level which is way beyond anything that we can attain but it was attained there's certain individuals throughout time one of them was a Leo Navi Elijah the Prophet he remained in his physical body his soul and his physical body were joined Khedira because of y'all like we see in the verses of Elijah didn't even know become by like we find in the deeper sources the Commission but me mad Russian Naima bah I never guess I may seem like we find by the Russian also in regards to the way that we will actually be in the terms of the world to come when we have kids amazing when we get a brand new body that will live forever so that is the highest level where we serve Hashem added the Vegas out of a complete attachment attachment to God Ashlin so we need to understand here sister climb Friedlander Leclaire array my Vegas Ashley moose we're talking about back I am serving a similar living look living with God living with God so we need to understand like this how dreamy drink especially moose either rubbish because Salem Isaiah always of imagery goes the man of it is a sham what is the level of Shlomo's of perfection it's using the that which we have in this world raising it up to the highest level of service of God which cross over Omaha like the ROM Col rights and missiles you show him the atomic ideas is a quote pitting interior if you would go deeper into the matter you shall see in evolution mashhad amol a rule was created to serve man will surely be at smile of a person who's of himself he has he has control of himself needed back with Bowie right and he attaches himself to his creator miss Allah by the might say miss Sally boy so then he is raised up and the world itself is raised up with him he might drag a joystick of volume you live rhythmical shamash but am i said this is a higher level than running away from from using nothing of this world right the Ramban is riding the highest level is completely cutting myself off becoming celibate you're coming disconnected from this world when Kyle says and Freelander quotes him that that's not true that's not the high so the highest level is using the physical and raising it up to the highest to the spiritual so if you hear my draggy I can buy me liver ethnical she was my mindset running away from this world because I can't handle using this world the highest level though is being able to use this world completely in service of God why she'll having Kaman shame ki Louie no Ali goof a few lug even goof Elmyra him birth I'm a goof the question is the obvious question is what do they need to remain their physical bodies for if anyway they completely Ashu their their physical their physical reality they're not interested in their physical bodies why would they live forever in their physical bodies what is the idea after Ms Emma Drago Harvey morash Lima Ashley my smudging Ashley shoes this fourth level is actually the level which completes the third level climber in far Bo CAI Mademoiselle is a goof on vinyasa they already came into this world they already passed the test of this world they've already purified their bodies completely in this world hey listen listen Johnny a goof came comes a cool of it is Ozzy Coachella goof this is this is a higher level than something that even the minister Shan is speaking about this is a level beyond where the physical body is actually purified beyond the need for having any physical needs this is a level which is actually the level of a hapa of the world to come after the times of mashiac of the times of the messiah your 6,000 that's when it happens well we talked about the kiss I mean it's them so maybe it's also there's a crossover time at some of but Allah camera the neshamah so such a person so their physical bodies completely nullified in relationship to their spiritual body to their spirituality okay my draga so my recent got my fade like the first man before the sin with Hannah and I'm sweet missed call loosely zealots circle decision they don't need to be dependent on any physical reality they don't need anything physical in this world they actually don't need to eat there sustained by their spirituality just like my shrub a know when he was on her c9 about signing for forty days and forty nights just like the Angels don't eat Moshe also did not need to eat and that's this level you finally dalvik with Tyra really she wants MFM they can attach themselves to the Torah to the service of God without needing anything else they don't even need anything physical they don't need food they'd only drink so this is an amazing exalted lofty level the highest level one of course that we can add attain okay so when all of these things teach us an amazing thing and that is that there's there's like we said there three different possibilities for us to serve God the first way is shall I the Shema person doing it completely for the wrong reasons which is the lowest level but obviously it's better than not serving out at all the person is doing it in order to get honor in this world in order to get wealth in this world whatever it may be second level is where we serve God for the right reasons we serve with shame shame I am the middle level right we're not all the way there we're doing it because we want to get reward we want to you know we're past the place where we want physical rewards we want spiritual rewards such a person can I have this world because they'll be drawn into this world so they just get the next world and the highest level amazingly is lachemann that we can attain the highest level is doing it completely off for God's sake if you're doing it for God because that's that's God's will and such a person gets merits to have the world to come and also this world as well so that he can serve God properly so I want to bless you and ask you to please bless me I should help us that we should be able to recognize these levels and strive to climb higher and higher through the levels of shillelagh Sh'ma doing it for the wrong reasons after the level of doing it lachemann for the right reasons doing it not just out of fear of God or fear of punishment but rather serving as Chum completely out of love of God thank you so much for listening have a wonderful Shabbos this podcast was made possible through the gracious
