Bitachon 130 - Leave the Linear
403 views
We discuss a midrash that speaks of the difference between the 'linear' world, where everything is 'predetermined' and the transcendent realm - which involves Torah and Mitzvos - where financial matters related to them are fluid and expansive.

you're listening to the 130th edition of
the Beethoven podcast
and this week we are between you know
Kipper and sukis and we've gone through
that serious we've gone through this
process we're continuing in days of
tremendous simcha Joy
I'd like to share with you our thoughts
from the majors related to be talking I
think that we can all work on and
incorporate into our lives
the measures tells us
we know that on the first day there's a
double rice obligation the Torah
obligation to take the arba meaning the
four species the Lula of the estrogue
Anderson to bring these four different
types of trees together right you see
all the palm trees around me
and
the Torah tells us to take them right so
it's interesting in this possum and we
find that elsewhere in the Torah of it
says it says numerous times they use the
word to
to
bring something to Hashem to offer
something to Hashem but we take it to
ourselves
and the Matrix wants to understand what
is the idea that we're taking for
ourselves through this expenditure we're
spending money on an escrow we're
spending money on a Lulu it's not cheap
right these are important things these
are precious things to get a good one
not the easiest task
why does the Torah in all these
instances when we're expending we're
giving away from our money
where where
it seems that we're giving away but
impossible uses a language of taking as
if we get something
in this process
so major says
explaining this brings a plastic
initially the plastic initially says
take my Musser take my Torah
don't take money
in some way as we'll see we're going to
see soon
but in some way and this requires me
talking and we're gonna have a really
deep
idea that I'd like to share with you
about being tough one based on what the
measure says
we think that when we get money we get
guarantees right that's what it feels
like
five money if I have my my needs paid
for
I feel very safe
feel very bad I feel very confident
and when I don't have the money whether
let's say let's say I came I take Torah
I choose Torah let's say I choose to
study Torah choose to be someone in KOLO
I choose to perhaps
go against the grain
of those around me who are saying you
got to get a job you got to go to
college Etc these kinds of things
so it seems like I'm giving up my
stability I'm giving up my confidence
I'm giving up might be tough on
it's all right so I am giving up a
certain kind of confidence that Posse is
saying but are getting a different kind
of confidence in this place
take my Muslim says take my Torah take
my lessons
take that which I'm offering you as your
guarantee and not money
what do we see so the magic says like
this
I'm not reading everything here but I'm
reading parts of it the the ones that I
want to
I want to bring Arabic breakfast yes
that I will I will take care of I will
remember all those who are pressured
all those who are pressured
now who's pressured
right who's pressured the ones who study
Torah
once you dedicate their lives to
spirituality the ones who steer away
from what seems to be financial success
in order to Embrace spiritual success
or
when it comes to studying Torah right so
we find that free people to get paid
and you're not supposed to really take
money to teach Torah must be something
that's free there is God's wisdom while
right do I have to charge for that right
anybody can come and access in Torah I
don't have a right to charge for that
however you do find that there's
something called scarpetola which means
that if I wouldn't be teaching Tower
right now so I'll be spending my time
making money so you're allowed to pay
somebody the amount of money he would
have made if you wouldn't have been
teaching Torah but you're not getting
paid for teaching Torah you're getting
paid for your time you're getting paid
for the time that you could have been
spending doing something else
so what does this mean what's the what
is this what does it mean I can't be
paid for Torah doesn't mean that you
can't put a money value
on to Torah
so here this amazing measures
Tony and this has to do with the days we
just went through Tony miracula
we know
that on Rosh Hashanah a person's entire
year is set how much money you're
supposed to make
how rich you're gonna get how many how
many of the right stocks you're gonna
buy how much money how much profit
you're gonna make
how much money you're going to lose the
fridge might break
the air conditioner might need a repair
all the all of the back and forth
of our money situation is determined on
Rosh Hashanah
but there's an exception to this rule
says the medrish it's a famous magician
Sagamore as well
what a person spends on Shabbos
on the festivals on the Sabbath onesh
interestingly in magician mentions
the money that you spend on your kids
tuitions
the money that you spend so that you can
learn Torah
that money however much money you spend
on that it doesn't take away from the
amount that you're supposed to get that
year the mother you're supposed to get
is set no matter how hard you try no
matter how weekly you try
you're gonna get that amount it's not
going to change
but you want to know where you can put
extra money to and get that money back
it won't take away from the husband
learning Toro
keeping Shabbos
all of the misses that are involved
Ali lorego coming up to base something
to bring sacrifices all of these are
included in spiritual matters that don't
go into the freshmen of how much money
you're going to make this year
interesting right
sounds a little like you're talking
doesn't it
doesn't have to do with you know
let's see let's see what's gonna let's
see what this means let's see what this
means it's very interesting
because what's interesting is that it's
saying that you could do is tomorrow you
have a certain amount that's it you
can't change that
but when it comes to spiritual things
there is some kind of flexibility it
sounds like what's the idea here let's
see
foreign
was going on a trip
from Terraria to tipari
two cities in the land of Israel
was supporting him he was helping him
walk
they passed by a particular field
calculator
says this field that we just passed by
used to be mine
wealthy man
so so a large portly man he ate well
Gamora tells us right
he says I used to own this piece of land
but I did this field but I sold it so
that I could learn
I decided it was more important that I
studied Torah I sold it so I had the
money to be able to sit and learn
with
this camera did you have this is
he says they passed by a Vineyard they
passed by an olive Orchard
and in each of them he said this used to
be my Vineyard
this used to be my Olive Orchard but I
sold it
so I could learn Tara
okay so listen to Rubik here where he
says
supporting him and was helping him walk
along
obviously sounds like he was an old man
at this point
he started to cry
um
here says what did you leave for
yourself for your old age
you know a person would have a field in
those days the person would have a
Vineyard you can be supported by that it
was it had dividends that that would pay
Through The Years we'd hire other people
to take care of it
if gave up his retirement he threw away
his retirement to be able to learn now
how could you do this
I don't understand
I'm relay you couldn't say
do you think that this that I did is not
important not it's not significant not
correct
I sold something which was created in
the Physical Realm in the six days of
creation
and I acquired something which took 40
days
to be given
ESS
says the tire took 40 days
for it to come down into this world we
need to understand the number six what
it represents number 40 what it
represents
the Physical Realm
I gave that up then the six the six days
of the week I gave that up so I could
have the 40th which is the Tyra my
sharabena was there for 40 days and 40
nights to receive Tyra
measures finishes off over here with the
story for vehicle
and passed away
meeting is
a song with songs if a person would give
all of his wealth
so what does it mean he gave all of his
wealth We Believe
in his love for Torah
boys
he gets the spoils in the end
he got the spoils he got the Torah
he gave up his physical wealth for a
spiritual wealth
now what does this look like it was
really skinny in that of his life did he
did he lose weight did he sound silly
but did he did he no longer have the
wealth did he did he die penniless
doesn't say
and it's not I don't know
I would say it's not important but it is
important because
we find and they point us out of the
fortune
Academy
King David says I was young and I was
old I never saw a person who was a
tourist scholar at Sadiq a righteous
individual
who their child was was going around to
the doors knocking on doors trying to
get money didn't happen
so there's a guarantee
even if a person gives up the Physical
Realm they still have the spiritual
realm they still have a guarantee about
their needs being taken care of in this
world
but the before some say that what was
this spoils the spoils that he received
says if the spores that he received were
the the money The Spoils of gagum logic
in the future when the Messiah comes
there's gonna be a tremendous War
and the nations are going to come
they're going to fight against the
Jewish people and ultimately the nations
of the world will lose the Jewish people
will win and the Jewish people will
receive all the wealth
all the wealth of the world will be
theirs
so this is going to be excellent gets
yes the wealth of the world
doesn't lose anything
he didn't lose anything
there's more different I'm not gonna
read the entire measures just a few
points here the final Point other magic
says like this
foreign foreign
from one place where it says to take
we're gonna now go back to what we
originally started speaking about
says take the four meaning take
the the four species the Lula of the
answering the Adas take these four
different types of branches and a fruit
and bring them together take them but
you have to buy them right
so you're spending money but you're
taking something so we find another
place that it says the word where it
says that you're taking it
the Jewish people were commanded to take
a hissap ranch a bundle of hyssa
branches and dip the blood
tip the air separations into the blood
then put the blood on their doorposts
and that protected them
to protected them when the maschkiss
came through and the Destroyer came
through and killed the firstborns of the
Egyptians the Jews were protected
foreign
how much do you think it costs to take a
few hits-up branches it's not very
expensive you just walk outside you get
some branches right
didn't cost them very much
business I am what did the Jews get in
the end for it
they got incredible wealth they got The
Spoils of the sea when the Egyptians
came running after them they got all of
their money they got all of their
diamonds and wealth and gold that they
had brought with them to chase after the
Jews with
interesting right
well the Egyptians this why did they
bring with them they felt that they
would win because of it they gave them
power having money like we saw at the
beginning
having money makes you feel like you
have power
the sort of story of somebody went to
meet with a very wealthy billionaire
and he put in his pockets ten thousand
dollars at ten thousand dollars in wads
of cash so he felt powerful
right money makes a person feel powerful
but who ended up with that money
the Jews why did they end up with that
money because
they did a Mitzvah which cost them
nothing
so this is
we get in the end
knowing right when the Jews went into
the land of Israel they conquered the
Nations that were outside of Israel and
then conquered the 31 Nations inside of
Israel why because they did that Mitzvah
that cost them nothing
Allah
of course a person a certain amount to
buy the the rule of right costs a little
more
than just walking out and getting it for
free
so certainly if I spend money on it
imagine the protection
imagine the ultimate results
informs them exhorts them
warns them
make sure you do the Smithfield that's
incredible power
has so much power
make sure you do this with
what do we see from this magic
this is how I thought about it okay
a Rosh Hashanah there's Indian
the amount of money in person has is
katsu it's set it's called linear
there's a linear amount that you're
supposed to have and if you try to push
too hard you'll get a little more maybe
but then your washing machine will break
down the car will break down or some
other thing
it will always end up being the same no
matter how hard you try
but there's a place where
you can actually
invest in that place and get more than
you're supposed to get
now that sounds like oh wow I can it's
not just like oh wow uh if I give money
to stock Hashem gives it back to me oh
wow if I spend money on shopping system
gives it back to me I can spend as much
as I want it's saying spiritual
principle you're not in a linear
Place anymore
when you buy a luluff or invest your
money in something spiritual
when you give money to sudaka to Tamina
to Taurus Scholars to study Torah or for
your child to learn Torah
you're stepping out of the linear bounds
of your Dinah this is incredible this is
so happy
this is so joyous
because we're always looking at it we're
talking about we're talking all the time
but how do you get in we've spoken about
this but this is a little of the
mechanics of it
you step out of the linear world
Church doesn't help you with any way
when you move into the spiritual world
when you move into the place
where what's important
is the mitzvahs these things don't make
sense well you bring these four
different branches together what is it
it's a Mitzvah Hashem
it accomplishes something as the
makumalum it accomplishes amazing things
there's seven different parts of the
four species there's there's three
hadassim two aravas Lula vestric that's
seven
corresponds to the Spheres and you shake
them in the four different directions up
and down is six and in the center is the
seventh all kinds of deep ideas
whether you understand it or not does
the same thing
it makes you a spiritual person it makes
what you think is important to be real
it says I don't care
about the guy with the ten thousand
dollars in his pockets that's not what
makes me feel confident
says I don't care about the the the
field that makes people feel confident
in their old age and in the vineyard and
the and the retirement fund
I don't care about that that's not what
makes me feel confident
it's the Torah it's my investment in
Torah
it's the fact that I care about learning
I'll give that all up for Tyra and I'll
get something much greater
I'll get the visa I'll get a
supernatural source
for all of the money that I need
this is the idea that I wanted to share
with you I think we can take it we came
out of Russia Kipper we're heading into
sukis
and sukis is about expansion where do we
what do we do we leave our house we
leave the linear world
we step into the silica Musa and we're
underneath the shade
of Hashem the divine presence the Sheena
that protected Us in the midwear in a
supernatural way
that's what we're looking for
we're looking to step out of the natural
six days of creation and walk into the
40. 40 represents the concept of the
supernatural ambina of the eighth aspect
of Le Malo nateva we can all do that
observance
steer are running away from
the guarantee is that it supposedly
gives us which are false anyway and we
steer that money in
to Tyra to Mitzvahs to those things that
are Supernatural so those things that
represent the will of Hashem and we
become
we come and become
into human beings who are in that space
where Hashem is which is a place
which is much beyond the Physical Realm
that we normally inhabit
thank you so much for listening see you
again next time
