Rav Nachman Fried Likutei Moharan Shiur learning Torah 6 in preparation for Elul

Oh, the video. So, here I'll make sure you're not in here. You could do it in a way that you're not in. >> Oh, this guy. >> Um, okay. So, Ra Nasim the first that he heard from the Reb when he came to to to Brass say he came to Brass, the first that he heard was this and was blown away. is blown away that the Reb said such tora. This tora is a toy that's known in Brazil. We see them the Torah of Chuva. Every L this is the it's it's part of the breast of thing you learn to love. This is the the so we're starting in because we want to do we need more chu. So we're doing it a little bit earlier. But I'm here I don't know if we can go into the of this. First of all, over here the they want to move more, but uh I'm in a different I'm in a total different but let's try to surrender. But the says like this. This is when is giving over. He's passing over the torch. He says call Yeshua. It's time to go the rest of the this whole process of giving over the messiah. This is the and the goes into a whole different has nothing to do with the builds a building. Each seif is building on building and another floor and another floor and another room puts it all together. There's a where the Reb says that his toas were made like a palace like a person walks into the most beautiful palace. He walks into the to the hallway and he sees rooms and from the rooms there are windows and each window has that's how the Reb built his toy and it's all built as one big palace. So it's mind stimulating and it's heart stimulating. So open your brains and open your hearts. is person has to be to minimize his own which we need to understand what does it mean and to be so first that we can ask over here is it two separate avoid is there avoid of minimizing my ego and another avoid of making more covet to Hashem or is it high By me minimizing my ego, I'm automatically bringing more cover to the Reb. It sounds like it's it's two things. A person has to be concentrated on two. What does it mean to be? It means that's what's at mean what does mean? First thing what does it mean atma? What does it mean? My my ats means what is who am I? Person has to know who are they? How are you? Who who am I? Am I [Music] most of us the first thing we have to know is most of us are not who we really are. Not most of us, almost all of us are not who we really are >> because real self real the person's real self is we go through life and we go through the journey of life and we get conditioned through experiences and those experiences create a new self that is not really related to real self and the frat we go through the journey and we are exposed to our distance where we're living in a world where we don't see the is not here. We're living in a materialistic world where everything seems to be and that 1 + 1 equals two and everything and there's no we don't see the spirituality. However, because we were given And we were given by we were giving something more and this is who we really are but the ego you know I heard a good vert ego is the edge god out it's a famous famous ver but that's what it is it's we get caught up in our emotions we get caught up in our places and we build a certain structure and a guard from our self and we're protecting ourselves from really knowing who real self is. So and what is that what is that ego? What is the main thing that ego touches ego is covered. Covered. Covered. Everybody understands, you know, there's many tyers in the world. But all the tus lead to one thing at the end. >> Covered. Ty m what does what does what does money bring to? What power? What does power bring to? At the end of the day, it's all about cover. And why is that? >> Yeah. Yeah. That it all leads at the end of the day. This is where it comes to. I'm I'm getting trapped from my own because I'm looking >> food is not >> what >> food is not covered. >> No food is is not covered. Yeah, it could be. So in moment for sure moment is let's let's go trebb says the biggest theb says that the biggest ta is m everybody the world says but it's not the biggest t theb says yeah the hello said that they could get out of every trap but the if they heard that the tire was much to get out of it is the hardest >> it's the hardest is trapped to get up. >> Yeah. A person knows he's violating. He knows it's not morally accepted. In m there's a way to always camouflage it and make it look acceptable. >> Mitzah. So there's always a way to camouflage it and make it as people understand it. >> It's the hardest hardest to get out. >> The hardest trap to get out. said that he saw the that they made m into a god that they made people you were estimated by how much money you are. If you didn't have enough money you were an animal and if you had less money you were a bird and if you had less money you were an insect. That's how they labeled you based on how much money you have because money was the whole god and the mah said I could take any he could help anybody except for these people the at the end he was able to help them and if you go through the story of how he helped these people right we know the story so anyway ego is covered but why do we want what is this uh urge for cover what is this thing that we're looking for everybody wants to be recognized everybody wants to be validated Everybody wants covered. What is this thing that's it's really coming from a very high place because we have and the whole Bria was created. The whole bri was created for cover. So the urge of cover is instinctive in our but that cover belongs to the but since we have a goof and we go through life we always tapping into that place of coven but not in the right place and that's what conditions ego. Anybody know what an ego is? Ego. Ego. Everybody familiar with what ego is. So the Reb is telling us that a person has to work on minimizing the things that make him cover and being are the things that bring to because there's two types of cover. this cover and this cover is the spiritual coven that's this cover of the purpose of the world is to bring to because what's the purpose of the world why was the world created why why do hashem is create the world what was the purpose he created a world where there is no hashem and our job is to reveal hashem in the world because from the place of amun because even though I don't see that there's godliness in the I don't see that is in the chair but there is cuz nothing could exist without the spirituality and my job is to reveal the spirituality that there is in everything through my journey of life. So the whole purpose of the world was created for cover and we have this cover. If we tap into the cover, that's that's aim then we're doing our purpose and that nobody's going to question nobody's going to question when you're when you're really connected to the spirituality to the cover of the and everything that you're doing is 100% pure. That's and has nobody questioning when it's when everybody knows it's 100% because it's because the the the and the purify themselves that everything that they're doing is all for the but most of us even when we're doing things it's not 100% there's some kind of atma And that is what's always going to be questioned and everybody's going to say whoever who is this person that you're giving him and everybody's going to be skeptical skeptical about that. So says the rebbit says like this Someone who chases cover, he's not going to come to he's chasing, he'll get cover. If a person chases, he's going to get covered. But what kind of cover is he going to get? What's the problem with everybody investigates, everybody questions, they're looking to find your failures. Everybody's looking after him and they're asking me who is this person that they're giving him this cover and they start being saying ah he's not worthy of this he's not worthy of this coven that's a person who's chasing covet so he's going to get covered but he's going to get a coven that's questionable most people that Even if a person a smart person, he doesn't want the cover because he knows that as soon as he gets the cover, there's going to be people question as soon as there's some kind of a thing that you're getting honor that you're getting. There's always going to be somebody saying, "Ah, >> I know that guy. You know that guy. He that guy that guy's coming to say that guy, you know who that guy is. >> Everybody questions the cover. But if you bring the cover today and your purpose is to bring the nobody question what does it mean he's running away from by the way in the words of the what does it mean you shouldn't have any I would ask a question what do you mean has to know I don't want to have any ego I don't want to have any cover for myself it's not shy The Reb says minimal. That means if today you wanted this amount of cover, take it down a notch. Tomorrow you take it down another notch. It's a process. It's not something if you say right away you're full of baloney cuz everybody wants recognition. Everybody wants to be admired. Everybody wants to be validated. There's no person in the world. It's natural. We were born with the and I was explaining because the reason is it's from coming from which was created for God says the do something less of for your ego and more for God and do the next day do something more less and that we'll see that is what chuva is says the someone who runs away from co he's He merits to get nobody's investigating him. They don't ask any questions. I don't care what you did yesterday. I don't care what you did the day before. Right now, you're coming. You're selling meim. I want to listen. I am connected to on him. It says the The Reb learns from the that is hidden. The Reb is touching the Ping. Not that the cover of Hashem is hidden, but of Hashem hides all the other negativities. No one's going to question you when you're doing something for the covenant of. So now we have a understanding that the that the Reb wants us to do is to constantly be conscious of being minimize a little bit for my coven every day and the more I do that the more I'm going to get that no one's going to question my covenant which is the real cover because co that's being questioned at the end of the day it comes to failure. Look what's going on in the world with Donald Trump, right? The president of the United States. President of the United States is a bigger cover than to be president of the United States. Every single day there's some new miser of investigating that's called that's at the end of the day these these doesn't happen to him but at the end of the day they get buried and they fail and it's exposed that not just the cover they come to the biggest that cover turns into the opposite which is the biggest biz says the reb so how do we get to this So now we know if I if I'm looking what do I want and my purpose is to bring to the and take away my but how could I get to this that's aim then no one's going to question no one's going to be skeptical no one's going to say who are you the only way to get to that is through chuva what and what's chuva says thebu When a person listens to his shame, he listens to his humiliation and he's quiet and he absorbs it and he doesn't answer and not just he quiet, he accepts it. What's the difference between quiet? What's the iron losses? Two the two were bigger than he accepted. He accepted what's accepting accepting is not saying I had this week interesting guy being challenged with his child and whatever I had ara with his child. He came over to me and he said to me, "I don't know what to do. So it's a broken mom. He doesn't know what to do. He says it's my a he says I accepted it. He said you know why I accepted it? It's my a when I was younger these are my a giving back my so I said you're blaming yourself. He said yeah. So I said that's not acceptance. If you're blaming yourself for what you did that's not acceptance. That's blame. >> That's not acceptance. Acceptance. That means you're saying I'm going through a really bad situation. Acceptance means when I'm finding the good in the situation that looks so dark for me and I'm accepting it not because I'm being mur because I'm finding a way to bl shift blame. I am actually accepting it because I know everything you do is for the best for me. Even though I'm unable to see it, I know that you're here, but I don't know where you are. Please help me find you in this darkness. Please help me find. So acceptance, shame. What's shame in humil? Anybody? Everybody married here? >> Yeah. You're married. You're married. Everybody. >> So if you're married, it's very easy to understand what humiliation is, right? >> Right. Humiliation. If you're married, your wife, you have your wife is humiliating you all the time. You don't know what I'm talking about. But most people know what I'm talking about, right? Everybody, you know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm talking You know what I'm talking about. Everybody knows >> humiliation is bizo. She's not It's not that she's shaming you. Whenever she's calling you out or she's questioning you or she's upset, it's really she's hanging her hook her coat on the wrong hook, but she's right about something. She doesn't know. By the way, stop. I learned this myself from my own experience in your wife is your mirror. She knows one thing. your to give a sh your to give your wife physical money, clothing, physicality, emotional, you have to provide for emotionally, you have to provide for her spiritually. If you're not doing your job in one of the three categories, she knows it. She doesn't know how to express it until she finds some stupid thing that she's maybe wrong, maybe right, doesn't make a difference. And that's where she catches it. But she knows because she knows that you're not giving her what she needs to give what you need to get. So what is she doing? And says someday she acts out. She every wife acts out differently, but every wife acts out. Every wife acts out. And when she acts out, that's your humiliation. What do we do? We defend ourselves. No. And then so she cries. Then the next time she acts, no. You defend yourself. But if your you hear your shame and you recognize that what she's saying is really the talking to you and he's telling you, you need to fix yourself. There's something that you're not doing right. And she's just your indicator. She's your alarm clock telling you it's time for you to wake up. That is the cha is not talking about I'm bringing the wife. It's just an example because that's something that we're going to but really really chu is accepting my own humiliation person what ask >> saying. So the big asking a great question says everybody knows what's ra gives us a what is so what's the rabb is I have I regret what I did I'm never to do it again that even the knows I'm never going to Do it again. I did the Reb saying it's the same thing. The Reb is being what does it mean? What does regret mean? What does it mean regret? What does it mean I regret? What does regret mean? Regret means not that I'm denying what I did. I'm actually accepting that I did a bad act and I'm accepting the humiliation of how stupid was I that I I was so shallow and so limited to be able to do that stupid thing that I did before and I'm never going to do it again because I regret by the way if I regret then it's automatically I'm a if a guy's here an example Guy's driving and he's texting while he's driving and Kas show because he was texting he has an accident. He hits a kid and think a kid goes to the hospital. Is that guy ever texting again? The guy he was texting. He's never texting again. He saw I did this action brought this result. I I never want I never intended to have this result. I don't want to I regret texting. I'm never going to do it again. So what why do you need two things automatically? If I really regret I'm never going to do it again. What? What I the saying I need and so famous question on the according to the Reb over here the Reb is telling us that here is to accept my humiliation by accepting my own humiliation. A person who did a ands out of his and he looks back at what he did. He looks back at what he does and he says, "What was I thinking? Am I I don't even understand what was I thinking. I'm so humiliated by the fact that I was able to be in such a situation." And that's why the words are because there's a question here. I the Reb is telling me I have to hear my humiliation. That means I have to wait for him to humiliate me in order for me to do says no I have to hear my own bizar I have to be disgusted with myself that I was that I was so shallow and so uh limited that I wasn't able to be able to be misgab and I wasn't that humiliation that and I accept that humiliation and I'm That is the truth says the last is I lost you. He's sleeping. There's no there's you can't pronounce cover without the and the and I don't know what I'm talking about here. So I'm gonna just go v accept the words is kessa. Kessa is the highest sphere. The rabb wants to tell us that cover what we think is covered is the highest place that a person can get to that that the whole the whole bria was created for covet. Coven is k. It's the highest sphere is coven. And covet doesn't have you can't pronounce coveted without a cuff. You can't write covet without a cuff. So cuff represents kesser and kesser is cover. And what is kesser? Is the shame of what's the shame of? The Reb says means and it's also I am ready to exist says the rebu before a person does chuva he has no presence in the world if he didn't do chuva he has no reason to exist to live in this world and just be nana from the world there's no aaya that's not I'm I'm existing I'm not living living means means I'm being present in the moment. Being present in the moment means I'm being connected every moment to the spirituality that there is around me and in me in this world. So before a person does cha he has no he has no he's existing but he's not living. But when a person because it's a person who does have he's better off not being born than he was born. We say it every day in when a person comes to purify himself and he says he makes a recording he says it's time it's time for me to do now he's in this place of which is I am ready to exist I'm saying now I'm ready to exist we know that the bria the created the bria The bria before the bria was the shame ea in the bria we say it's shame means being present before the bria it was before we became came to and he said I'm taking out of what was the simmon that he gave to that he's going to be able to take him out he asked that he says what am I going to tell the we we'll see later not today but we'll see what there's two that means before we became we were in a of we didn't have a we didn't have we didn't have the reason to exist to live so we were in the process of I am ready to exist I'm not existing ing yet I'm ready to exist. So each person when he goes into comes or when a person gets a chuva and he wants to do chuva that moment that he wants to ch do chuva is the highest moment that's kessa because that's the moment where he's wants to exist I am ready or I'm surrendering I I know I did wrong and now I'm surrendering I want to exist says the I now want to be present in this world. I want to have a purpose in this world. I have a reason to live and that is what is which is the highest is the place of I am ready because once you become there's a you inside the place of surrender is the place of no there is no me I am ready to do whatever it takes I want to do chuva I messed up I want to start again I want to exist that place of I want to exist is higher than the chuva that you're actually doing because the rats is the place of know me once I start doing chuva there's me inside here there's also but the place of the place of the highest moment is the moment right before you actually do chuva in the place of being Ready to do cha in the place of surrendering to be able to do chuva says the rebba. And what is kessa? What is this thing this high madriga called kessa? Kessa is a lush of waiting. We all want a quick fix. Everybody wants a quick fix. Whether you're struggling, whatever your struggles are, your struggles in Shambay, your struggles with whatever the struggles are, the the struggles are you and you want to you want to change it. You're looking, okay, I'm ready. I I I realize I did wrong. I want to change. I want quick fix. How am I going to do that? Chuva doesn't work like that. Chuva is not a quick fix. Chuva the the the rot to do chuva is the quickest fix it's one decision that's it I'm never doing it again I I'm not I want to do chuva I am ready to do chuva but it's a process so telling you which is the highest mga is a lot of you want to you want to do chuva okay come into the come in let's do let's start working this is a process this doesn't heal in one day what's the process You have to be you have to be start minimizing your ego. Stop being conscious. Start being in awareness. Oh, that's me. That's my ego. At least even if you can't control it. At least identify. At least say that's let's be honest. That was me. Yeah, I may it seem like I'm doing this for somebody else. I'm doing it for the I'm doing it for thing. But that was me. identify it and say I want to change it I want to minimize how do I do this so the first thing is I have to be ready and the second thing is understand that it's a process it's not going to be fixed in one second I got to go through this process of says the rebra says a person who wants to purify himself messiah they're going to help him what does it mean they're going to help you help What do you mean? Help. Fix my problem. Write me the check. I need I don't have panosa. I need $100,000. Write the check. No, >> takes time. There's a process on there. You want to You want to fix your panosa? There's a way to fix your panosa. You want to fix your There's a way. But there's a process. The first thing is surrender. surrender and say I am ready to do says the says the time what does it mean that a person who wants to purify they're going to help him brings a mush person who came to buy a pimmon is a fruit that's a very good smelling fruit they tell him what it's a oil it's a oil that you're that smells like a perfume. So person wants to he wants to come buy expensive perfume. He goes into the store. The guy says, "Okay, wait. I'm going to bring you out. You want this perfume? Wait a minute. I'm going to bring you out." They tell him. The first thing that a person says, and this is our biggest discouragement when we want to do chuva, any everybody goes through this challenge and you do chuva and you say, "That's it. I'm going to be from now on." Yeah, you're doing chuva and you expect the results. Okay, that's it. I did chuva. Now, take me in and all of a sudden you're being challenged the opposite. You're getting challenged again. What's going on here? The process. It's a process. You want to do chuva, you want to rectify. You're really sorry. Okay, let's see how you're sorry. Can you withstand? It doesn't it's not a quick fix. It's it's something that needs it's it's a process. And that's the Indian of like the says the says wait for me a moment and I'll show you and the is from the same word of so says okay this is going I don't want to lose the with the part over here let's go back to this understanding of how do we take this in practice icality. How do we understand of recognizing our own humiliation? So we brought examples of but a person when a person does chuva with with himself he has to recognize in himself what am I changing? What am I what do I want to change? I I I want to change. What do I want to change? I have to recognize what did I do wrong? I have to understand the the the I did and accept and not try to what our der is denial it never happened and yeah when it comes time to do chuva we talk about it ah time I just want to do chuva that's not chuva chuva is accepting my humiliation of my what I did accepting my from that place that's the me That's what I'm being because the part that prevents me from acceptance is my ego. My ego doesn't let me face my humiliation. My ego says deny it. Don't say it never happened. Don't tell anybody that it happened. And if and someone confronts you with it, either you deny it or even if you accept it, you you want it to go away as fast. How can I get out of this as fast as possible? instead sit in it and accept accept your humiliation. That is the place of real chuva when a person that's how you get to really start making change because you're accepting you're understanding what it was that triggered me to do this really what always triggers you is your own ego some cuz you didn't get validation over here so you went over here you for false validation for a false aid a false recognition false a and that's what that's what triggered you. And as soon as you understand and you start identifying it, you're able to slowly process and bring yourself out of it to do chuva and bring that rich. >> No. Yeah. By the way, that's why a person gets red. You know why? Reb talks about over there. >> What's going on? When when do I get some time with you? >> I am going I'm going to be in Florida. How long you going? >> No, they're following me. I'm going to be in my I'll be about to learn something or I don't care. I don't need the money >> 100%. That's more >> for coming. >> Seeing your face. >> What's your phone number? >> 347. Thank you. >> 73300. Very nice. >> What's your name? >> Larry Ross. >> I know. I recognize that. You saw the face.
