Basi Legani 5726 #9: If You Could Give Your Child One Thing, What Would It Be?

Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Basi Legani 2016 number nine. And with God's grace, I don't want to know if I don't know if we could say the grand finale. That's something you could finish as a But on some level, the grand finale. So, we are up to the last perek of the ma'amar, perek ches, chapter eight, which is in the kuntres page chof vov. Chof vov, oh, very nice. Chof vov 2016, chof vov, yeah. And the the series and this class is dedicated leilus nishmas Harav Hagaon Rav Avraham Chaim ben Hagaon Rav Mordechai Ze'ev HaCohen ben Hagaon Rav Avraham Chaim HaCohen ben Hagaon Rav Mordechai Ze'ev HaCohen. And by Reb Ezra Dovid Philip in honor of the Rebbe's shluchim the world over. For bracha v'hatzlacha ad bli dai. And thank you very, very much. So, actually, this chapter summarizes the ma'amar and brings it back all the way to the beginning of what it started. The whole idea of the ma'amar was Basi Legani Achosi Kallah. That iker shchinah betachtonim hayah, the shchinah's primary residence was in the lowest world. And then there was the expulsion of the shchinah through the seven sins. That's what it says in Medrash Rabbah on the possuk Basi Legani. And then came seven tzaddikim and began to heal the fragment fragmented world. Moshe, Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov, and then you have Yaakov's son is Levi, Kehos, Amram, and then Moshe is the seventh. And Moshe is the one who brings the shchinah all the way back to the earth where originally it was, especially through the Mishkan, building the Mishkan. When When says on that day, Basi Legani Achosi Kallah, I came to my garden to my wedding canopy, wedding pavilion is Gani Gnuni. The place where uh was designated for me to crush him changing the shaker to carriage and the stools and this is a battle and for this battle the king squanders and splurges all of the pleasures and he gives it to the commanders but it has to go to the soldiers and then the question is what the is. And from this start of the whole is so and catch and catch less. And the whole memoir of explaining the and catch less and the and catch and in this memoir in the so if it's self unlike in the previous years as we discussed in the previous year. What was the last that we learned here? The last point that was brought out. Last is the end of it. Pleasure, ecstasy, bliss, delight, smack. The end of What's the main of So just to to to bring out at least one aspect in this whole discussion. And that is that we have to understand that the word is actually there's an expression in it's brought a lot of and it says in the memoir may end. There's nothing higher than that's the expression. So it says the earliest for the memoir may end. So it may end he says is the same letters as a leprosy. It may end as a pleasure that is two opposites. It may end. There's nothing higher than What does it mean there's nothing higher than it? If you look at the soul, so it says it explains it at least one of the dimensions is we radiate energy in everything. When you do an action, there's energy there. You make a cup of coffee. Right? Or you fix a door knob, or you take a walk. Everything radiates a certain element of your energy. There's something called dibbur, when you speak. Of course, when you think. Every emotion, every instinct, every thing you're involved in, your soul is involved in. There's nothing you're involved in that your soul is not involved in. Whether I'm sleeping, or I'm eating, or I'm digesting, or I'm having a conversation, or I'm doing something. Could be very something very technical, something very grand. When you go deeper and deeper, Yeah. there's more involvement of the soul, more conscious involvement of the soul. The deepest place, even deeper than desire, so behind everything, behind behavior and behind thoughts and behind behind words and behind thoughts, and even behind emotions and instincts, you have something deeper which is ratzon. Like we learned before, ratzon is the makif. For anything to happen, you need ratzon. It's like the motor. It's the motivating piece. Ratzon, even to open my eyes, I want to look at something. So you look at me. I If I don't want, I don't want. If I want to get involved in learning something, I want to come to a shiur. The shiur is a shiur. I'm going to have to use my mind. But without ratzon, it's not happening. That's why you called ratzon earlier kayach makif. Meaning, it encompasses the entire body. It's not limited to a particular limb or a particular organ. Everything comes from ratzon. Ratzon affects every single part. Beyond ratzon is taanug. Ein l'maalah m'taanug. Ratzon is I want. But why do I want it? I don't mean why rationally, in terms of rationality philosophically. Why I mean, what's behind the ratzon? Always taanug. Some form of taanug. How long that taanug is going to last, how real the taanug is, what is the taanug from? That depends in every situation. But taanug, bliss, that is, in the lashon of Chassidus, it's not the neshamah, the nefesh, gravitating to something. It's the soul in itself. And the ratzon is based on that. The ratzon is based on that. Because of oyneg, because of the experiential internal element of oyneg, therefore there's a ratzon. And from ratzon comes everything else ultimately, all the way down to the smallest behavior. Now, I'm not always identified consciously that whole process. But that's the nekudah of tayneg. Huh? Oyneg. Oyneg, oyneg. Anchor. Oyneg in in Hebrew, anchor. It anchors, yeah. Like the anchor to the ship that Yeah, the the source of it, the anchor of it, yeah. Now, there's tayneg of the nefesh beheimes. There's tayneg of the nefesh elokis, right? There's tayneg that's perceived as tayneg. This is going to give me the bliss of my soul. Unfortunately, I'm in touch maybe with a superficial part of myself. And as a result of that, I'm I'm in touch with superficial bliss. And it's not going to last long, so I'm going to look for another tayneg. So, there could be, you know, fake news, right? Uh Ponzi schemes. But the nekudah of tayneg is that in the deepest realm, there's what gives the neshama tayneg, which really is the design of the soul, the the pnimius of the soul. That's called etzem hanefesh in Chassidus. That's tayneg. Ain And that's why we say ain lema'alah me'oyneg. And that's why we said yesterday that's what deepest presence is. The deepest form of presence I can give somebody is I can force myself to want. I want to go I want to be with you. But you don't lack the oyneg. I could say the right things. I could I could do the right things. I could And it's all it's all it's all amazing. But the deepest thing you can give to somebody is and you can't force this cuz it's Einek. Is it my Einek? When an infant child experiences the Einek of his or her mother in holding them, that is probably the single most powerful regulating factor in their nervous system for their entire life. What's that message? That message is you're safe. You can trust. And you, your value is unquestionable. In fact, my presence with you provides me with Einek. Hasn't been contaminated yet. Yeah. And it's not transactional, right? So, I have pleasure because you're cute and I'm going to get something from you and this No. We have those agendas. Those are all part of the human agendas where the ego hijacks it. But in the deepest place, Einek is the purest form of the self. What is it really rooted in? What is it really rooted in? That's one of the big Nekudahs of this Maim. What it really Nekudahs is is in the lashon of the Madrashas Avak Adash Baruch Hu did it The word Avak is an interesting word. Right, I mentioned yesterday Taiva. Usually we would do it in the Shabbos not so complimentary. And that's the Chazal's word to use why God created the whole world. And there's even the famous word from the Alter Rebbe, right? That That that when they when they would discuss why Hashem created cuz that's the big the big question. Like what what What was missing? There's only we create things because something is missing. We created automobiles or hospitals or universities or coaches or wheels cuz something is missing. Everything is created because of a void, because of because of everything. There's no such a thing. Even your cup of coffee you created, you're thirsty, you're tired, whatever it is, you want your everything. There's no such a thing. And even a person is I don't know why I'm doing it. He may not know why he's doing it, but there something there. I'm bored, I'm lonely, I'm I'm whatever it is. So, this is a good question, right? In In In Jewish philosophy, it's like the biggest question. God is supposed to be perfect. Perfection means you have no needs. If you have no needs, why are you doing this? You're bored? That's That's the huge question. So, they were discussing this. So, the Alter Rebbe said, "Was will to It says the Sava Kaddish Baruch." A fateless can catch a niche. So, some people almost I once saw somebody wrote the story. Uh a writer, a secular artist. He said the Alter Rebbe was joking. But, the dish is a toss. It was like a very funny joke. But, then you see the Rebbe Rashab has Hamshach Tofresh Samach Vav was more than 500 pages based on this line of the Alter Rebbe. One of the deepest one of the Mitzvah of Shabbat is called Tofresh Hamshach Tofresh Samach Vav. It's a series of my mother for 3 years that the Rebbe Rashab said, a series. It's over 500 pages. Tofresh Samach Vav 1905 and went till Tofresh Samach Ches. It's based on this this word from the Alter Rebbe. This guy wrote he said it as a joke. Okay. Huh? I'll I guess it's a joke, yeah. 500 pages to explain the joke. But, the truth is, yeah, it wasn't a joke. He was saying something very deep. A fateless can catch a niche means all our discussions of why are part of creation. So, your your your discussion of why is futile. Because why also has a why. Why why? In other logic is part of what was created. So, let's say you have a beautiful reason, right? God was also bound by that reason. Like he Like he he he he grew up in a world where they told him, "You have to make sense, God." The concept of sense is part of creation. Logic was created. Cycle was created. Not all the philosophers like this idea. There's a big debate. That God is also bound by logic. It's interesting. He says yes, there's certain things God can do because not because it's because it's a stupid. It's a huge between him and the other guy. Some Jewish philosophers said, for example, there was a question can a child be older than a father? Yeah. He even says can you write and not write? Can you move clockwise and counterclockwise? Of course he can't. It's stupid. Stone that he can't pick up or can 2 + 2 = 9? Of course not. It's stupid. It's not a compliment to God that 2 + 2 = 9. Amazing. It's ridiculous. Or even better, 2 + 2 = pink. Thank you. You're not even saying anything. It's His point is it's stupidity. Like don't say God can do it. You didn't say anything. Cuz 2 + 2 doesn't equal 9. That's his point. Others argued with it. It's a big Why? Cuz it was also created. It's true in the world of stupidity. 2 + 2 doesn't equal 9. I don't care how powerful and infinite you are. Now today, the argument stopped cuz in quantum mechanics everything is irrational. Stephen Hawkins was a big scientist and he said if you when you talk about quantum mechanics, I open the drawer and take out my gun. In other words, I want to shoot myself because all my science is out in the garbage. They'll tell you subatomic particles move clockwise and counterclockwise simultaneously. Schrodinger's cat is dead and alive simultaneously. And this is pure This is science of atheists. So suddenly the whole argument became moot. But the citizen it always cycle was created. So now the Rebbe is saying the tiger itself is concussion is because Yeah, in other words, the the word cash is already part of creation. So you you need to go to a place, yeah? He wasn't giving a reason. You need to go to a place that's pre any reason. And this Ave expresses that. And what's that title? title Now we have to think about this for a moment. Take all the Take in this room, how much love is there in this room? A lot, right? Does this guy himself You know how much love in his heart? Takes up a lot of space, doesn't it? Yeah. And you know about him? You don't know, but I do know. I don't even know, but I know a little bit. And you know him? What do I can go on. There's a lot of love in this room, okay? Now take the love in the whole world. Literally, and now take all the love of history from the beginning from Adam Adam and all the love just in this world. It's a lot, right? It's intense cuz you just know your own love is intense. Take the love of everybody in all of history. And that's all just a little fraction of the source of love. It's the way love is embodied in the human physical frail uh mortal heart. So if you can get to the source of it, what does that look like? That's all the love that we humans experience with all of our moods and insanity and frustrations and ego. Right? And it's still pretty powerful. Just one mother's love and everybody's love and all of history. And that's in this world. Then go to a higher world, a higher world, a higher higher where the heart is like open. And then where there's not even a heart cuz it's just pure love. And all of that you can't even say is 1% of the source of love. Yeah, some I was once arguing with somebody. It was in the shoot, I think. It was a Whatever he considered himself an atheist. So, he had a lot to say about it. I just told him one thing, okay? Just you have love in your heart. You have a lot of love. You have consciousness. What It's It's a real experience. It's not a It's It's a real experience. Like what that Where did that come from? You You think that had no author? Like such depth, such realness. You think after 25 billion years of a mindless cell So, it says love jumped out of it and filled consciousness with it. Like You know, and it's true. It's It's a Just even even your love It There's an author to that. Where did you get this idea of love? Where? We take it for granted, but none of this should be taken for granted. Where did you get this passion? Where did you get this this this this connectivity? This bliss? Where? The answer is as much as of and tinyuk you have it's a fra- it's a It's not even 1%. It's a fragment of a fraction of the source. So, in the source, do you imagine how much love and bliss there is? You can't. If we would, we would stop existing. But every time you're experiencing any tinyuk, any of a that is a a flow of that. And that's what the magid said. That's the title of the depth of the title of the magid. Have a mitzvah with it. The moment you go into a higher space with less tzimtzum you start feeling more tinyuk. Higher higher I I David had no measurement for Torah. Eliyahu had no measurement. Yechezkel had no measurement. Shkiah you started to measure. So, the magid says, "Why?" Because really it's all tinyuk. In the source, what is Torah? What is mitzvah? It's Hashem's tinyuk. If we would channel that, we close our nefesh mamash. So, it goes into tzimtzum tzimtzum tzimtzum tzimtzum all the way down. And he says the higher you go, what do you mean higher? He says when you do a mitzvah and you and you you're in a deeper state, the tinok becomes expensive. Now if you go back all the way to the source, that tinok is the source of creation. This is Kodesh Baruch Hu. The deep tinok of what? And the answer is tinok of you. Tinok of what? Ain't not so tinok of what? That's why love and bliss are not small little things. That is the core. That's the etzem. Everything is a manifestation of that. Everything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And all of creation is a flow a manifestation an embodiment of that of that tinok. We learned before in the title of the Maggid that he said that the thing that glues the time the Maggid says tinok is it's things even opposites. In other words, it's the glue that brings things together. All in our world, all matter. What are the building blocks of matter? Atoms. Atoms combine together to form molecules. Right? A drop of water, they call H2O. Two of hydrogen, right? One of oxygen. So H2O. They have to form. All of creation all of existence is things bonding together. Without molecules, if they fall apart, kaput. There's nothing, no existence. So, the maggot is telling you, what's the glue? Tinug. That's the glue. Every molecule is screaming, tinug. Everything. How many atoms have to come together to create a coffee bean? To create your finger. To create any system in biology, in botany, in Australia, everything, everything is things coming together. What is it? It's tinug. That's what the maggot says. So, if you want to get microscopically, if you want to look at when we look at molecules, even with the mic, we see molecules. But, if you go deeper, cuz it says you'll see dvar Hashem. You'll see divine energy. And if you go deeper, you'll see ratzon Hashem. And if you go deeper, you'll hit tinug. That's where you'll hit tinug. And there's nothing that's divorced from it, because that's like the just like in us, etzem hanefesh, tinug is underlying everything. So, b'ta'anug hamit'saneh, it's a reflection by Hashem. Then this aveh. And in everything, therefore, is a result of that. That's like the energy, it's the fuel, it's the neshama, it's the consciousness behind all of creation. Of course, it goes through a whole hishtalshelus. When I'm speaking, it's not just tinug, the tinug goes in, there's machshava, there's dibbur, there's ma'aseh. But, if you go to the raw material behind it, it's not just I want you, not just I want you. It's the bliss that I have in you. Yeah. Yeah. And that's why it's the deepest gift you can give to somebody. That's what ultimate presence is. You say, "Be present. Be present with your children. Be present with your loved ones." What does that look like? Not to be on your phone. Yeah, that's a good beginning. What does it really look like? And you know what? You see how hard it is for us. You see how important it is, right? You see the resistance. There's always something to do. There's always a distraction. The resistance of that. Because how many people do it with themselves? How present are you with How present am I with myself? There's tremendous I have to do what I want to What do I have going on with Satan? You know that You know that line in the brain, "I've nothing to do with my life." You know that great line? You have nothing to do with your life. We're sitting on a couch with presents. Who invented that new word? Stress. Oh, that's a Jewish word. Anxiety. Oh, beautiful. Responsibility. Akavod, responsibility. Presents. Then there's a couch potato. Then there's a much of skinem. So, drop that already. And I am I supposed to present a new thing? But it's time to heal all of this cuz we're trying to win the war. Everything is presents. So, that's what the Rebbe is saying here. In In Now in the ISIS of this mind, man. Yeah. He's talking about Ain Sof. So, now I want you to see the structure here. He started off with a whole marshal of a teacher and a student. Makif Akadaf Makif Adakif. This is what the teacher teaches that's integrated. This is what the teacher teaches that hovers over the student that will be integrated in 40 years. There's makif far rochek that's inaccessible. But that he also gives through the mashalim. He also does it. It's not that he doesn't give it. But that doesn't come through ideas. That doesn't come through communication of ideas. That's a story. And the story in its in its in its helam dehashtar and its uh in its deceptive simplicity and entertaining qualities you know, he gets away with everything. That story captures it. Right, the mashal that has it. You have he has the whole thing. He has the whole thing. That's all a mashal in sechel. That's what he said it's a mashal in sechel. So over there also he did lamatah den tachlis. Lamailah lamatah den tachlis is gilui. There's lamatah den tachlis after the tzimtzum. Yeah, that's like the ohr that goes in the pnimius. There's lamailah den tachlis uh lamatah den tachlis that's bigeder gilui. That's the ohr inside, but it's all bigeder gilui. And then there's lamailah den ketz, the makif far rochek that comes in through mashal. Then he went over to ratzon. He said that the Tzemach Tzedek says ratzon is a koach makif. But it's a koach that motivates everything. It doesn't get integrated into every aver and that's why the ratzon for everything is the same. But it's a koach that affects us as lamatah den tachlis. And then you have ratzon leratzon. You remember raiv dechol raivin. Shikcha. That's that's expressed in when you forget things. There's no consciousness of it. That's the ratzon behind all the ratzonus. And that's the lamailah den ketz and that's the nasi'us. That's what a nasi is. That's the inyan of nase not only nishmah. That's all in ratzon. The end of the ma'amar, it's all in ta'anug. Everything went to ta'anug. It's not stam. That's Now he goes in the next the next one. That's what tinug is. In tinug explain there's the tinug that's begeder giluy. He said there's tinug amerkov. That's the tinugim that we interact with. Where the tinug is channeled through a particular experience, but everything has tinug in it. And if there's no tinug in it, there would be no reason for a person to do it again. I could be in touch with my nefesh habahamis. You know, I can some people that you have a crush on somebody and it's tinug and you think that's the deepest tinug in the world, right? People do this, they sometimes destroy their relationships because they find a new tinug, unfortunately it's fictional. It's fictional because it's based on a void inside of me that I never healed. And it's based on a part of the other person that I don't even know really. You know, whatever I'm just giving an example. We're taking even a piece of food. I could take eat a piece of food that's poisonous. It looks very good, you know. The Rebbe used to say poison covered with gold. Poison covered with gold. So it speaks in tinug, but it's still speaking to my tinug. Cuz it knows tinug is the way to go. Everything. The Alter Rebbe says in a ma'amar that you see in the physical world the deepest tinug is isha isha, intimacy. Why is that? So he says because that's the koach hatavah. So the world looks at it because we're dirty. We're dirty people. The Alter Rebbe says no. Because that's where the koach ain sof comes out most in life. That's when you become Hashem. You could you God gives you the ability to create like him. There's nowhere else I could create life. I can develop life. I can't create life. There you become divine. And since the source of tinug is ain Hashem, cuz he's the source, so the closer you come to ain sof, the more your ta'anug becomes explosive. So over there is the deepest ta'anug. Because we have bechira, I could take that koach ain sof and distort it and it becomes a greater distortion than anywhere else. You hear? When Adam and Hava come back together, they become b'tzelem Elokim, they become divine again, so they could create. Adam and Hava were one, b'tzelem Elokim, then they get separated. Intimacy is diffusion. So you're channeling the divine deeper than anything else in life. Of course there's bliss. Like everything, my animal soul can hijack it and just make it very selfish and hedonistic and it lasts for 5 minutes or 10 minutes. And and that's it. And ultimately both people feel empty afterwards cuz it wasn't intimacy, into me see. It was hijacked by a more external force because that's how the world works. Klipa comes into anything. And klipa says, I also have ta'anug and I'll I'll I'll cover it. But you have to understand the mahus. It's a haflah d'kavod. It's it's not a vart. This is not a vart. It's uh It it shows you what ta'anug is. The Gemara says in Maseches Brachos, I don't know if you know the story, but it's in Gemara, so it's interesting that Chazal decided to put this story into the Gemara. Rav Kahana had a rebbe, his name was Rav. Rav was the godol hador. And he decided he wants to see what Rav's marriage looks like. That's what the Gemara says. So he went and he snuck into his house and he hid under his bed. And he was quite shocked to see that Rav, the Gemara says, it was there was tremendous passion. Tremendous. He thought, you know, Rav b'suf a kratz, a b'suf this. The Gemara says he saw that Rav was was it was incredible. And he came out of the bed. So Rav said This is part of Torah I have to learn and nobody's can teaching it to me. Yeah. So there's something very deep here. So it's a very important for all the kallah teachers that teach kallah teachers. Somebody once told me that they taught her that she has to be like a rock who doesn't feel anything cuz the tachlis of her marriage is to give him pleasure cuz men are behemas. So this is it's sick. Creates tremendous destruction. So that's very important for that. But if you want to go much deeper, it. It's like what we learned about Shir Hashirim, right? What we learning in the There's the no time like time of love and kiss. Whenever your physical experience is plugged into the divine, it's an infinite bliss. Everything else is forgery. Now the forgery has power. I'm not We're not denying forgery has power. Right? Ponzi schemes can have billions of dollars in them until you get caught. No question. Imitations can be powerful. Counterfeit money can sometimes do the job until you're caught. And it does it for those 70 years. But you can't compare. The menuchas hanefesh that comes when you're channeling real tinok, your nervous system knows it. It's a different type of menuchas hanefesh, a different type of bliss. The satisfaction before, in middle, after because you're channeling God, which is reality. You're not channeling a cover-up for reality, which is trying to imitate what kedusha has by saying I'll give you a better experience. So of course by that it was a different it was a whole different level. You first you first if it's a ta'am of the onion. This is important stuff. So this is what this is ta'anug. The deepest spiritual connection is always ta'anug. In davening, in learning, in mitzvahs, in marriage, in chinuch, in everything, ta'anug. It's also not so easy to get there. There's a lot of obstacles to it. Self-hate is one of the biggest, self-shame, guilt, all these things. I'm telling you our our nervous system feels better. I got an email from a woman. I listen to your classes. I don't believe a word you say because I don't think anything of this is Judaism. It's too good to be true. That's what she writes to me. It's too good to be true. It's it's something is off. There's a little tumah here. It's it's it's not good. Like if people come out you're feeling as a abysmal far hack. It's a schlug and God hates me a little bit. He may love me after shachris, but now he hates me a little bit. It's somehow it's a Yiddish. It's a batamt. It's it's it's real. It's familiar but I had my nefesh hakah and teshuvah abysmal. Whatever you want. This is literally what the Baal Shem Tov was trying to hear, literally. And the oilam is starting to get it. It's nobody's fault. It's nobody's fault. It's Hashem's fault. It's 2,000 years of a lot of suffering. It's nobody's fault. When you suffer and suffer and suffer and suffer, at some point you say, "Sorry, I don't see ta'anug as the ultimate equation here. Sorry." And and you say it's not judgement, but it's important to understand that our nervous systems have been so defined by Galus that anything else seems like a shaker. It's just you told me it's too good to be true, so it's not true. This is fictional stuff. But you see the language of the Baal Shem Tov and the Maggid it was a language of Tainug. They didn't know about Galus. This is This is the healing. This is Tairus Agulah. This is redemptive consciousness. And it doesn't take away People are afraid it's going to take away Yiras Shamayim. This is the biggest Yiras Shamayim. There's no Yiras Shamayim like the Yiras Shamayim of Tainug. There's no Yiras Shamayim like that. That touches your essence. You stay away from sin in a way that you can't through anxiety. You can't even. That's what Yiras Shamayim is. That's what Yiras Yiras Shamayim is the awe. The present the presence of of of divinity and the awe of it and the fear of of being disconnected from it. Of of of like literally cutting the oxygen the oxygen tank that's literally feeding your entire existence. That's That's Yiras Shamayim. That's authentic. That's real. That doesn't stop. Right? So therefore So the Maggid says the Tainug is the glue. Everything has it. And that's what I said yesterday. What the What does it really you know We speak about Everything is Tainug. When when you're conscious when you're present That's what presence means. I'm I'm taking a cup of water. And I say Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech Ha'olam Shehakol Nihiyah Bidvaro. What am I saying? I'm still acknowledging that Hashem created the water. It's much deeper than that. I'm acknowledging that this act of creating water is an act of him sharing with me. I'm eating an apple or I'm eating an orange. I make by the pre-8 and the apple has a has has has in it a taste. It has a flavor in it. What is that really? It's God's way of saying I want to share my presence with you. How how do I share my presence with you? Like the Bal Shem Tov says, if he gives me the language of ain soif, I don't understand that language. Here's an apple. So, I take the apple and I hijack it to my Shem. Right? I take the I hijack the color What are you doing? It's all a relationship. If you If you really want to If you really want to understand this, this is the whole of us. Talk about stories, right? What's the whole of us? He put us into a garden. This is where it's really the whole story. What was the first thing that expelled God from the earth? The of us. What happened? That's the of the minor. We're trying to heal that. What happened with us? This is the garden. He didn't create a fire. CREATED A GARDEN. THAT'S WHERE What's a garden? The used to say, there's a field and there's a garden. A field, you plant things that you need to eat. Bread was the main staple of food. I know today you're not allowed to eat bread anymore. But I'm all used to eat bread. That was normal food. That was the issue. What is consciousness? Sourdough. Sourdough. Yeah, but what's a garden? A garden, you don't need a you don't need a garden for life. It's A garden is luxury. You ever go to the botanical It's luxury. Gardens are luxury. Flowers are luxury. You buy roses, yeah? Why don't you Why don't you buy your wife carrots for us? Isn't that more important? At least you could put it in the soup. You have roses on in table over there for 3 weeks UNTIL IT BUY CARROTS. You want to buy something more romantic buy celery. What's hackster with roses? The answer is you can buy carrots and maybe you should but trust me the feedback is not going to be the same. Maybe it'll go into the kitchen chicken soup if it's organic. I don't know. A gun is not necessity. It's luxury. The power of roses is not necessity. She didn't ask you to buy milk. It's luxury. Bossy Lagani Why a garden? There's things to do. The answer is I just want to hang out with you. Why why do we have to? I didn't have to. I didn't have to. Nobody forced me. You know what? I wasn't even bored. I wasn't even bored. IT'S NOT LIKE LET'S HANG OUT. I GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH MY LIFE. I NEED A social life. Let's hang out in the garden. My sister told me that the first date it was 1979. So it's a little different with my brother-in-law. She took it she took he took her to the airport. That was the date. The he took her to the airport. So she said I made a vow. I was actually she I made a vow that that if he ever does this again I will never look at him. She says he did it again and now you know 11 children later it worked out. Right? If you're already hanging out you don't go to airports. YOU GO TO A GARDEN. YEAH? That's what YOU DO. SO WHAT'S THE WORD? BOSSY Lagani I wasn't bored. I wasn't lonely. So so why do you need this for? I don't need it. So so why you The answer is tinok. What does that look like? It looks like that somehow in the deepest form of ain sof there is tremendous love and connectivity deeper even than infinity because without infinity ain sof and it's a tinok you're here. I'm here with choice with independence. There's an unbelievable virtue in the Baal Shem Tov. I don't want to get into it but unbelievable Baal Shem Tov says there's the big question the Rambam asks, everybody asks, "Yedi'ah u-behirah?" If Hashem knows everything, so we have no choice. Cuz if he knows what I'm going to do today in the afternoon, so what if I could prove him wrong, then he's not God. And if I can't prove him wrong, so I am coerced by his knowledge. And there's a pre I'm it's predetermined what I'm going to do. Right? It's a very interesting question. The Rambam asks it in Hilkhot Teshuvah. And the Rambam starts saying that Hashem's knowledge is not like our knowledge. And the Rebbe says, "This is not a wise way of dealing with things. Don't ask a question and then tell me you can't answer it. If you can't answer, don't ask questions. Don't open Pandora boxes." That's what others say. The Rebbe didn't understand it. The Rambam was giving an answer. Whatever There's a very big discussion on this. The Baal Shem Tov, classic Baal Shem Tov in Keter Shem Tov, he gives his own answer. Now, I can't tell you I understand his answer, but I remember when I saw the answer, I was like, "Whoops! That's the Baal Shem Tov." You know what the Baal Shem Tov says? So, of course God knows everything. And of course, if God knows, I have no choice. He says, "But God's love is much deeper than his knowledge." Mi-tzad his knowledge, I have no free choice. But mi-tzad his love, he wants a relationship. And the only way I can have a relationship is if you have choice. Cuz if you don't have choice, it's not a relationship. So, his love surpasses his knowledge. So, mi-tzad his knowledge, I have no choice. But mi-tzad his ta'anug, I have choice. That's the Baal Shem Tov. Ein Sof is like his natural space. I'm infinite. I'm infinite. You don't have no choice. There's no einut muvhada. Mi-tzad the ta'anug, it's not einut muvhada. Mi-tzad the ta'anug, it's ta'anug in you. Ta'anug in connectivity. And that's why the tinok of attachment is in the DNA of every creation in the world. And that's why nobody could run away from it. Listen, we've all been Some of us have been trying to run away from that tinok. Because if you don't have healthy attachment, what do you do? You say, "I don't need anybody." And we use religion to justify it. You know, I could become a gun in learning, become a hermit, become an isolated uh isolated intellectual. But really, it doesn't work at the end. Why? And if if the work if it works for you, doesn't work for your children. If it works for you, doesn't work for you. Why? Because dial avochi hey keraboy. God was more intellectual than you. He was more alone than you. He was more brilliant. But the the in ain sof there was the nisava kodesh baruch I want you. This the Baal Shem Tov touched. This the Baal Shem Tov touched. He showed that relationship is at the core of everything. What what type of relationships? Tinok. Not cuz I'm bored, not cuz I'm lonely, not because I have needs. Yeah, we we are also bored, we're lonely. And that's why we're bored, and that's why we're lonely, and that's why we have needs. But in the source, he's not bored, he's not lonely, doesn't have needs. He doesn't need a relationship so somebody to make him supper. So here's here's where things switched. Till the Baal Shem Tov, till Chassidus, actually I should say till Kabbalah, the point of philosophy was you're right, God has no needs, so therefore the whole creation was just for us. Actually, him, he's not really, you know, you can't even touch him. In other words, they took this idea that Hashem has no needs and he's perfect, so that means that we cannot give him anything because what are you going to give him, you? A little ant? So the whole creation was just somehow he's is to do us a favor. And everybody's like, thanks, but no thanks. To a tyve I am it's a Anders, right? As the famous line with the chosen people, you know, why can't you choose somebody else once in a while, you Elie Wiesel used to say, we're chosen, but that's not for benefits necessarily. Of course we're chosen. And the Balshemtov said, our Rebbe said, you know, you're misunderstanding. Instead of saying God needs nothing, and therefore the whole creation was just like almost a superficial thing for us because he's unmoved, for cat. Realize that the tinug that he has in you is something that is rooted in a level of connection that is beyond any definition of need. So, the relationship is much deeper than anybody ever imagined. The same question, but it had a different answer. And that's why that's the answer that heals the galus. That's the That's the That's so that we come to the niquda. Why That Why this is so important. You know, I asked yesterday, like really, if you don't have all this information, so why should you have this information? But this information is everything. Cuz what this means is that in the depth In the depth of a person's life, really in your most loneliest loneliest spaces, in the greatest adversity that you face, every person in their own way, individually and collectively, you're not abandoned for a moment. Not only you're not abandoned, deep down in everything there is the deepest intimacy and relationship of bliss. And when the Balshemtov says that he sends the child away, far away, k'sheheela yoiser tinug, the Rebbe is explaining not only more in quantity, more in quality. But that the tinug we're talking about is just like in Rutson. This is Rutson and this is Rutson the Rutson here. It's the time only. The time that can be expressed and manifested. Time to come work of time to go push it. But which time are you talking about the and catch time what's the and catch time the time that can't be articulated. And if we says how is it expressed? It's not the guy looks like a stone. Cuz any form of expression you know there's a verse from the I didn't know where it was I saw it years ago. Unbelievable verse just a question what did look like by Martin Tyler. So what did he look like? It's a question of what did he look like? I don't know what he looked like. So he says it says everybody was trembling there was He says and if you looked at looked we are mystical eyes. He looked like ice frozen ice. Why so this is this is the that time when you are at Messiah. What we spoke yesterday the end of the at some fish. Any any any form of expression and experience jeopardizes that. Because it's like the where you back that at some fish. It's the cuz without without any way of articulating it not in movement and not in feeling not because it's not there. Because any Yeah. Yeah. You all experience ceases. So on the outside like a piece of ice. Inside it's complete complete oneness complete. All the layers of the diamond. dancing and singing ultimate complete stillness. Complete stillness, yeah. Yeah. That's why it's you should get excited. This is like diamond. So on a deeper supposed to be with a coil. It says in you know you read the words like pearls. Stop. You know we took people There's a guy I know is an influential Jew. So I asked him he asked me then I asked him he said if interesting question I mean. He didn't learn much but he says if you could be if you could take if you could get rid of something of Judaism what would you get rid of? He asks me. So I asked him. He says davening. The davening drives everybody crazy. You should do one paragraph and thank God and that's it move on. So this is a classic example. What's this holding in of davening? The holding in of davening was that the wanted people to go back to the garden and have a good time. That's really what it is. It's almost like you have a date with your wife every day for two hours. Like that's the highlight of the day. Then you have to go make a living so go make a living. You know the right that whoever says is abundantly he never saw light in his day cuz that's the site of life. Why? Cuz that's presence. Let's just spend time together. I want to feel your love. I want to feel I want to be with you. That's it. Bossy Lagani. The garden has no there's no transaction here. I'm not looking to get SOMETHING FROM YOU. OKAY NOW NOW GO WORK. NOW YOU YOU KNOW ONCE you have your once your marriage is amazing you go to work like a mensch. You have you could be kind to other people. The house life is miserable I don't have to tell you what happens in in the office. Guy once told me he has a shul and the board members are very wealthy people, but at board meetings, they behave like kids. Mommy's like babies, killing each other. And you look at people, the influential Some of them have 1,000 people working for them, 3,000 people. I asked him, "What's the reason?" He says, "Pashut. At home, they can't They have to behave cuz they're scared of their wives. In the office, they're big CEOs, so they have to be normal. So, weirdos all their unresolved, infantile, immature craziness come out in shul board meetings. So, here all their meshugas comes out. Their insecurities, their egos, their their And the poor rabbi has to deal with it. And they could fight over a dollar, two dollars. The guy has to spend $200 million today on whatever, on a lawsuit, but to hear he's fighting over $6. The rabbi wants a salary, wants an extra $100 cuz he might have a bar mitzvah. Like Why am I saying this? I don't even remember. Why am I talking about this guy? Oh. When When your When your house base is is is beautiful, right? I don't have time for exercise. Right? But your whole day is fashlept. Spend that hour on nurturing yourself, and then you're living in a different space. Everybody understands that. So, what's Bas Lagani? What's the Aitz Hadass? Shem tells Adam and Hava, "Let's go to the garden." Why? "I want to be with you." You. But one tree you can't eat. He doesn't say don't eat. He says, "Eat from every tree." Micol Aitz, people don't realize. He didn't say don't eat from one tree. He said, "Eat from every tree. MICOL AITZ HAGAN ONE TREE NOT." WHY? PASHUT. If you use one tree that you don't eat from, that's the tree that has a sign. And what's the sign? The sign is, "This is my garden. I brought you into my garden." It's like I take you into my house, the whole house is yours forever, but I say there's one closet to mine. What does that tell you? It tells you that everything is a gift. That's it. What does that do? The bliss remains. Wow. You're crazy about me. Wow, wow, wow, wow. What does the nachas do? The nachas do he hates you. That's why he doesn't let you be in that closet. You understand? The whole The whole The whole STORY BECAME A STORY of competitiveness. He actually hates you. Whoa. So, they go to that closet. They go to that closet. So, what happens? The shkhinah gets banished. What do you mean the shkhinah gets banished? What is it's it's not it's not strange language. So, the God went to the first heaven. What he went on vacation to the first heaven? It meant they lost consciousness. They were not plugged into consciousness anymore. Instead of seeing the bliss that he has in you, I want to spend time busi le gani chaisi kala. It's like now God is the enemy. Who's the boss? I run this world. Okay, wow. So, from taanug it became nega. You took the taanug and you made it nega. And that's what we're still trying to heal. We're still trying to heal. And this taanug is not just a chitzoni is the kinyan, the lema'ala deintachlis, which is also big. That varti'er is the lema'ala deinketz, that daas taanug in the deepest form of ein sof. You could say that I have no access to. That what God has doesn't have taanug in me. MAYBE THERE'S A PART OF GOD, YOU KNOW, that I don't know I don't I still don't know why he's but fine. So, THE BAAL SHEM TOV SAYS NO. That's not the oitzer. The oitzer is the lema'ala deinketz, that in actual sense of or captures that and that's what he gives with the whole that we learned. And here is and we we are you is that? That really becomes the punchline. Of the title of the market. The market says remember let's walk three days in the midbar. We don't they didn't want to walk for three days. They were walking for good. They were leaving the time. Why do you have to lie to power? So midbar comes in the word dibur. So the market says we're going three days into the dibur where God is going to communicate title in order to connect three worlds. That's what we're doing. Before the title was given they also had title. What did they have? They had the energy of title. What did I have have? He had the he had the bliss of title. He had the energy of a mix. He felt the love. He felt the garden. The physical mystery didn't have. But he operated on the frequency of harmony of of of trust of faith of surrender. But Martin Tyler was no there's going to be mixes my CS my son. So the market says what is the challenge is if you have only my sir it becomes very much it becomes very restricted. It could be very technique technical. You want to be the master. We want to be the master and the dibur to the master. Master is the way title is in God's thought. Dibur is the way it's communicated and master is the way it's in the physical actions. And his whole idea that the higher you go from master to dibur master the more time you go there is. And time you go ultimately connects everything. And that's how you connect all the worlds to God. So the asked the question so if so you see us with sign dumbing down the tinook. Before that, there was an a higher world. Now, you're bringing it down with something missing here. You're going out of mitzrayim to go down to maisa. So, this comes this is the whole point that the tinook of lamata they that comes out through the giluy of tinook. That's what we call consciousness, spirituality, dvekut in a real sense. That's the journey from this world to the higher worlds. Where do you have the tinook of lamala the tinook of atzmus. You have it in the mashal. In the mashal in the parable in the story in the Baal Shem Tov in the Baal Shem Tov and the Maggid of Mezeritch where do you have it? You have it in you have it in the stories of Torah. And you have it in maisa. What does it mean you have it in maisa? That in the physical day-to-day life of the person including the maisa of the mitzvah and the Torah the way it's down here and that involvement the whole physical dimension. Don't think for a moment that this is the worst because there's nothing here. It's like that parable. Dafka because of the Helen of Hester this captures the etzem. Even lo charedi there's no expression. So, that's the pin of the tinook. Any questions? Huh? If I tie this concoctionist. And to be honest, I don't understand everything I told you today. But I was trying to go with the flow. Huh? The truth is I understood It's not that I It's not that I didn't understand, it's that there's the blockages inside of me that keep on saying that it's manipulation, yeah. Cuz what I mean is that to experience real tinok, you need a level of relaxation and regulation that is very profound. You really have to be able to let go of the darkness, and it's not easy. There's a hijacker, you know. Deep, deep down, I'll tell you I'll tell you. I I speak from experience. I'm not I'm not telling you an abstract thing. Deep down, at least from I'm not not maybe not for all of us, but for some of us, deep, deep down, we feel that life at its core is someone manipulating. I don't know if people can relate to this. And the nervous system right away senses it knows manipulation. It's so sensitive to truth. I don't mean manipulation that somebody's sitting here manipulating me. Manipulation in a very deep energetic space. Because if at my core I cannot feel the tinok of Hashem inside of me, meaning that I am a manifestation of his tinok, it's substituted by deep shame. And come back to the story. I just realized, what's the first thing that happens to Adam and Hava when they eat from the tree? Shame. The first thing. We're naked. What I'm ugly. I'm naked. Nobody's ever going to look at me again. This is disgusting. We have to get dressed. What What What? You were naked before also. What What happened? What Where did that shame come from? The shame the moment you stop experiencing the tinug. Of course there's shame. Actually, shame makes sense. If you're disconnected from God, it's actually pretty shameful. It's pretty disgusting. You understand? We're actually sensitive. The The thing is we're not disconnected. But if I'm I'm disconnected, what's the What does Alter Rebbe always teach? What's the most shameful thing about reality? The answer is metzius, being being. Existence outside of Hashem, you're not going to get something more shameful. You're not. I promise you. You could then you could take off all your clothes, get up on this table, and do whatever you want. It's not going to come close to the shame of being a metzius. That's the truth. You have to learn the Likutei Siddur to get that, but that's what it is. That's what Adam and Chava felt. This is horrible. I'm naked. Even if they were wearing clothes, it's not the You're feeling disgusting. You know No I can't look at me, you can't look at me. Now, for some of us, deep deep down, there is this shame. Until we don't acknowledge that, we can't heal from it. It's a shame that sits at the core. It's a snake. It's literally a snake. The The The Rashi says bon nachash al Chava vehicle bazoo. We learned in the mind of Chayei Sarah. The snake came and he ingested toxicity into Chava, in intimacy. What does that mean? It means that when Chava looks at herself, she could see a snake. Instead of seeing herself as the the bliss of God, she sees in herself a snake, a serpent. And now she's not sure if it's her snake talking, or if it's her divinity talking. And that's very difficult. So, that's what I was dealing with. Finding a way Relaxation another hijack from God. >> Yeah, I think I think regulation maybe is a better word. Regulation. Relaxation. Menucha, right? What do we say about Shabbos Mincha, right? Menuchas Avon Edava. Menuchas Emes Ve'Emunah. Menuchas Shleima By the way, those who believe that all of Judaism is anxiety, like read that, okay? Menuchas Avon Edava. Menuchas Emes Ve'Emunah. MENUCHAS SHLEIMA ATAH Ratzui Nobody else wants it. We want everybody to be stressed. Yakiru Vanachaviyeidu It's a whole ma'amar over there. Yakiru Vanachaviyeidu Kimei Itchalei Menuchasam. Va'al Menuchasam Yagdishu Do you know what they're saying over there? The Mitteler Rebbe has a whole ma'amar, a huge ma'amar, that he said in prison. He said in prison Shabbos Mincha. Shabbos Vayeitzei, the day before he came out of prison. Tes Kislev Tof Kof Beis Ayin. In prison, he said the ma'amar explaining this whole piece. Next day came out of prison. What were you see what Menucha is? Menuchas Avon Edava, Emes Ve'Emunah, Menuchas Shleima Atah Ratzui And it's a whole avodah Yakiru Vanachaviyeidu Kimei Itchalei Menuchasam. And what if it's not Me'Itcha? What if it's from my What if it's from my my phone? Menucha. What if it's from my if it's from my private plane? No. Va'al Menuchasam Yagdishu This is what we're talking about. This is a different type of Menucha. This is not a Menucha of escape. This is not a Menucha where make me feel good for 5 minutes. That's not Menucha. Exactly. It's a Menucha that comes from surrender. It's a Menucha where you're channeling the ta'anug of Ein Sof. That's what it is. There's And no Menucha is going to be able to get close to that. The Menucha of complete bittul. Va'al Menuchasam Yagdishu The biggest Kiddush Hashem is minucha. Whoever heard that? That's not kiddush Hashem. Kiddush Hashem is that if there's an abuser, don't tell anybody cuz you're going to make a chillul Hashem. So, kiddush Hashem is hide abuse. I'm being a little uh cynical. Huh? Duly noted, right? The al minuchasum, the biggest kiddush Hashem is minucha. You'll see, you will publicize God's name in the deepest way when you find inner regulation. You will see that. There was nothing You want to educate your children? You want to inspire people? Minucha will That's There's nothing like it. How do you think the Baal Shem Tov changed the Jewish world? Presence. That's it. Presence. Real presence. Presence doesn't mean I'm not distracted. Presence is the deepest avodah. Presence is What's presence? So, what's real presence? Presence is that you're channeling right now the taanug of Hashem that's flowing through you. How do I know it's flowing through me? Cuz I exist. That's how I know. The moment Adam and Hava let go of this, the snake said, "God actually hates you and that's why he doesn't want you to eat from the tree." What happens? They're full of shame. Why? And the ego was born. And you know what? The most shameful experience of life is ego. There's nothing more shameful. You know why? Cuz it's a lie. It's the ultimate lie. And it's a lie that's coming because you were hijacked and you were deceived and duped to believe that the lack of ego is somebody trying to control you. When the lack of ego actually means that you're alive. Ego death means you're alive. It's the greatest lie in the world. I'm trying to give you all the love and bliss in the world and life and you're calling that death and you're creating from a snake life, and that now you're celebrating that. Of course, it's torturous and shameful. Sensitive people are ashamed. And by the way, the moment you could convert your shame into this shame, you're healed from your shame. I'm working on it. The moment you could look at all your anxiety and say, you know what, deep down I'm actually ashamed because how can I be a mitzius in the presence of ain safe? That's actually something good to be ashamed about, you know what? It's actually it's it's hijacking. It's ganeva. It's ganeva. Imagine I find a manuscript on your phone, I publish it in my name, I get all the all the all the all the credits, all the accolades, all the money. I should be ashamed, right? The moment I exist, that's what I did. I just stole from ain safe everything. Of course, I should be ashamed. The moment the moment I talk about myself, not about Hashem, that's the ultimate shameful reality. Why you talk What are you talking about? It's true as This is it. This busha This is what shame looks like. It's called year year year as boishus and shidus. It's an awe of fear that comes from shame. This is good shame, healthy shame. Yeah, of course, I should be ashamed. Why did I steal your book? Why don't I trust that I have any energy? What like what what what am I doing What are you doing here? You're a channel of infinity. Like what do you what do you want more? It's very shameful to I was once an MC at a chuppah. I'll never forget. It was in California years ago. Dr. Laura was there and she did the half hour the next day on her radio show. She reviewed the chuppah. Cuz I explained everything. It was very nice. Dr. Laura Schlessinger, I don't know if you remember radio show. After So, I did a lot I did like a whole presentation. It was There was an old Jew there. His name was Mr. Newman. I still remember. Rabbi Newman, the principal of Bais Rivkah's father. He was an old Jew, a short Yid from Pylna from the other side of the house. He came over to me and he was already a very old man and he smacked me. I didn't expect that Dr. Laura did a whole radio show on me and he smacked me. I said, "Was ist das?" Literally, like this. Like a little short guy. So, you couldn't get upset at him. He was like this little guy who was like looked like he was 95. I mean, he was probably younger, but that's what it looked like. You can't get upset like this. He said that was not nice. That was not nice. I'm like, "What was not nice?" He says, "You took away the attention from the chassan and the kallah." You stole the attention from the chassan and the kallah. That was it and he walked away. That's what he told me. It's their chuppah. You were supposed to MC their chuppah. It became about you. You took away their attention. He didn't even I'm explaining what he said. He just said he smacked me. That was the main thing he said. Right? So, that's That's That's That's presence in life in every every moment. That's what the cholderechecha da eiyu. Cholderechecha da eiyu is not a da'arga. Cholderechecha da eiyu means don't be a gunner. You're drinking a coffee, don't be a gunner. You're eating an orange, don't be a gunner. You're drinking eating a yogurt soup, don't be a gunner. That's it. Don't be a gunner. Don't come into my house, steal everything from my computer, steal everything from my refrigerator, and then say, "It's mine." It's not nice what you did. That's shameful. means be a mensch. You came into my garden. I love you. I'm crazy about you. Enjoy life. That's it. The snake says, "No." And really what it is is instead of creating self-confidence, it creates the deepest form of shame. Huh? Self-consciousness, exactly. Instead of self-confidence, it's self-consciousness. You know why? Cuz I'm investing in something that doesn't exist. So, how hard is that? That's what self-consciousness is. That's what That's what so many of us are doing. We're investing, trying to create something that doesn't exist. Good luck. That's why we are all cuckoo. The Rebbe Maharash Yeah, the Rebbe liked saying that. He said like this, the Rebbe Maharash said, What's the lash? You're not deceiving God. You're not deceiving the world. You're fooling yourself. What's the big deal that an idiot fools an idiot? So, he said, "Your ego Your ego is playing games with your ego." Brilliant. We'll put it on the matzeiva. My ego played games with my ego. Wow. Impressive. So, this is where this was the Atzmus, literally Bashe Legani, right? We say that bring what's bring the Shechina back down the Eretz. The tinug of Atzmus in you. In what? In your Atzmius. And where is it expressed? You have it expressed in the spiritual connection. And for Kedusha, the deeper you go there, the more tinug, more more more tinug. Like we learned, the mitzvah in the physical sense could be stripped from tinug. The moment you expect you see the energy in Torah, you see that it's full of tinug. And if you go higher, it's like wow, the Baal Shem Tov said it's a nest that he stays alive after davening. Why? Cuz he experienced the tinug. Not only it's not a burden, it's like oh my god, this is too good to be true. What that lady said to me, it's too good to be true, right? I don't remember if I answered this to her or I were I'm thinking what I should have answered. But it is. As much as you hearing it in the classes, it's not even close to how true it is. In fact, the Maggid says over there in that Torah, what mitzvah mitzvah? He says what mitzvah is the mitzvah? The schar of the mitzvah is experiencing the tinug in the mitzvah. That's it it is. The whole oilam haba is the mitzvah. It's just here whatever it's a mitzvah, you're not spending time with it. And in in there you'll see it. That's it. It'll be revealed, you'll see it. It's all tinug. Every piece of Gemara is intellectual, but really what is it? It's tinug. CUZ SEICHEL IS ALSO TINUG. If apple if the apple is God sharing with me himself his bliss but he can't do it through ain sof cuz I don't understand ain sof. So he says okay, here's an apple. Here's an orange. And And many flavors are there in the world? The Alter Rebbe says in a ma'amar, there's so many flavors because it's all the ta'anug of Ein Sof. So, there's a piece of potato, and there's a shtikel fleish, and there's a chicken, and there's an egg, and there's milk, and there's yogurt, and there's butter, and there's an orange, and there's a cherry, and there's a watermelon, and there's a cantaloupe, and there's a pineapple. And there's a cucumber, AND THERE'S CELERY, AND IT'S ALL TA'ANUG. IT'S ALL DIFFERENT. Everything is a different flavor. I told you it says in Torah Parshas of Eida, before you digest, you first taste. Because the ta'am, that's the ta'am, that's the ruchniyus of the ma'achal that he wants to GIVE YOU. AND NOW, I ALSO WANT YOUR BODY should be healthy. That's step two. The first. In other words, it's a relationship. It's literally like stop, pause. That means going away from the eitz hada'as. Don't live in it. Live in the eitz hachaim. There's a real relationship here. And in terms of connectivity with people, ta'anug is the connective tissue of everything. The Maggid says this. What's mechaber a man and a woman is ta'anug. That's why the deepest thing you can do in any relationship is presence. What's presence? Presence is there's something in your existence that arouses my bliss. There's something in my existence that arouses your bliss. Now, to get to that point, a lot of work is needed. Because usually your existence is triggering my fear, my insecurity, my ego, I need validation, you didn't compliment me today, you criticized. But, we don't even go there. To get to this place, you have to have a lot of self-awareness, a lot of self-awareness. With God, with ourselves, and with everybody else, with people. It's even hard to do it with your children. Of course, we say we love our kids, and we do love our kids. But, loving your kids and being present with your kids are two worlds. We often love our kids because of guilt, because of shame, because we don't want them to go through the pain that we went through, because we want to be called good fathers, and it's all beautiful stuff. I'm not knocking it, because it makes the world go round, and our kids, but I have a lot because of it but real it real again is tiny nook something else. So the Brazil said yesterday why is this not narcissistic it's the opposite of narcissism. Narcissism is my tiny nook is in me and I use you to satisfy the void in me. That's narcissism. This tiny nook is the opposite. My heart is expansive. It's so expansive. And connectivity with you fills me with joy not because of what I'm going to get from you to use you and manipulate you. But it's your presence that I celebrate. It's the connection itself. To be in that relationship with you to see you that it fills me. Why does it fill me? What what what what are you going to get from it? I'm not going to get anything from it. It's not transactional. It's not that you should do to favor to me tomorrow and I should be able to use you and manipulate you. That's not that's a hijacked form of distorted wounded tiny nook. That's the snake talking. That's the snake talking. We have snakes. The snake talks. Now the challenge in all of this is that everything I said here was words. The internal internalization of it is a whole different experience. Because deep down if I am deep deep down in the deepest core of existence if I feel deep down that I'm shameful and evil and repulsive so everything else is contaminated by that everything. Huh? The inner inner ear yeah. You know we say words it's beautiful and it's good to say. But but the experience the experience of it. Huh? So this is void. The id versus the id, yeah. The nachash. The nachash versus the alekos. Huh? Yeah. There's a lotion in this what's the end of mashiach? Giluy ta'anuga atzmus b'nishmas Yisrael. Just think about that. That's what he's saying. But what does what what what would that look like if I viscerally felt it? It's not a mymar. It I felt it. And then the you know, middle of the mymarim the alter rebbe would start rolling. You know that. I told you many times. He would start rolling and and he would hit the the walls of the shul in the yazna where where made of cement. So he would push and bang his head into the wall and he would start bleeding. So they put cushions on all the walls. Mamish if he does say it's all they put if he does say they put cushions on all the walls cuz in the middle of a mymar the alter rebbe would literally go into ecstasy. He would get down on the floor and he would start rolling from dveykus. From from just complete ecstasy from ta'anug from ta'anug. And and he would bump into the walls and turn and there was a choizer, a Pinchas Roizes. The Pinchas Roizes was one of the choizers and he would write down nachas in the yazna. There's a sefer called mymarim likutei nachas harab nachas of Pinchas. And he was very medayek every word. When he wrote, you know it's exactly what the alter rebbe said the way he remembered it. So the Pinchas would roll after the alter rebbe cuz the oilam stopped hearing. He couldn't hear anymore. So he would roll after him. And they say there's one of the rishumas they say that sometimes in his mymarim he puts three dots. What happened? The alter rebbe took a turn and he missed a few words. So, he doesn't want to compensate it. So, he just put in a few dots. That's how much he was mad at her. Pinchas was mad at her in every word. So, this is what's called This is This is experiential. It's not It's not words. It's the whole ticken of sodas. That's the ticken of sodas. That's what it is. This is embodied. It's embodied. It's completely experiential. And the moment you show up to life from this space, everything is completely different. You don't have to blame. You don't have to judge. Also, not yourself. So, here is the exercise, okay? We could catch ourselves. You'll know right away, those especially who do this work a little, you know you could feel the energy right away. The moment I go into a place of judgement, blame, shame, guilt, putting judgements on people, right away I'm not in that place anymore. Which is fine. I'm not. My getting scared. The is basically taking over. I just have to be aware of that. Watch that. Like almost watch it. And then I could choose not to live from that space. In other words, not to make decisions or say words, but I have to be able to say I'm not in this space. I'm not. Knowing for sure it's going to happen. Yeah, I'm alive, yeah. I'm alive. I'm not in flow. I'm not in flow. I'm not a chan. I'm not I'm not in flow. I'm self-conscious. Um overwhelmed. I'm scared. Whatever it is, everyone in their own way. I'm having anxiety. And I could really watch it. I could really watch it. I just had a hard conversation with somebody. Somebody called me and said whatever. And and uh maybe somebody else's mood is very hard for me to see and it's really triggering stuff inside of me. Not It's not even necessarily conscious. You know, your kid can make a comment to you that's really hard to hear. Your wife can make a comment to you that's hard to hear. Or somebody else or just life, you know, everyone in their own way. And we literally go space. Like you start feeling angry, you start feeling resentment, you start like get me out of this place. I'm done. Whatever, I can never satis- All these things I just It's not tainug anymore. The problem is I'm going to be looking now for fake tainug. So, what happens? This is when we start binging. We open the pantry like and the refrigerator every 5 minutes. You ever do that? What are we looking for? We're looking for to fill the void that just happened. Cuz the moment I'm not in touch with the real tainug, I need tainug. Everybody needs tainug. So, if there's cake on the table, I'll eat the cake. If my phone is available, okay, let's go on the phone for 45 minutes. Whatever call from shul, I'm going to look to get nurture from then the snake has things to offer. A much deeper and better way is saying I'm not in flow now. This a difficult moment, right? The sun was My a was sent away to Mar the distance but right here right now there's something to work through and if I could stay present with everything that is not only is there not it's a that may be from the deepest form that's not expressed in an experience of Gilui for now it's not connecting to the source now you are source in other words at those moments there's a gift you could find not the that is communicating to you but the that is in your essence that is actually coming from his essence that's inaccessible. But it's hard because the voices don't let me go there so we need to be aware of that too. So now now so this is some some of bringing out this Indian that the is trying to say in the but at least the way I processed it at least part of it and I think the way it can explain you know the way it could come into our lives. I went yesterday to I was yesterday at a sauna so somebody was sitting near me and we were talking about the Mar and this is all about a said who learns who teaches and he says to me what is the practical relevance of this what is the relevance of this learning and learning and learning I don't see any practical relevance could you give me a lesson from this Mar that's what he asked me. No I actually didn't answer. I was smart. I didn't answer. I'm saying this because those who are hearing the sheer either live or virtually there's a lot of people learning this mind before you try this. Very people learn the mind. And uh if everybody could share with others who are open to this you know, what you took out of the mind literally what you took out of it. Not just in terms of an idea. Obviously the ideas are very important. That's the actual mitzvah. That's the foundation. But really in terms of experience like what that does for you in your life. It's a very valuable gift cuz a lot unfortunately as I said yesterday we can use words as channels and we can use words as substitutes. It's another people. It's another my It's yeah, it's a vart. It's it's nice. People trust that the knows what he's saying. It's the right side of this. But the whole vart is that it's given to us. Given to us means you need to be able to receive it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So let's finish now. Now he finished the beautiful of the mind. So now he's like summarizes this. We have another 15 minutes. He may not 50 15. Believe me that I believe that I should say right. Unless I don't know something comes in and I'm compelled to say it but it's not it's not in my my plan. So if it happens it's nothing with me. It's nothing to do with me. I promise you. So CD I'm I'm going to be authentic. If something else happens really really like something I don't do with me. Not always but sometimes. After the finishes this safe and the bus is going to come to me and I'm going to say In period you say and he continues to go back to the nimshal, which is our inner self. In two lines he said the whole mind. You have the or that's in the realm of revelation. That's what or is. Or means light. Light on every level means I'm revealing something. That's what light does. You bring it to light. That's what or is. Or is gili. The kidesh of this mind or is something called etz ma or. What is etz ma or? THE ETZ MA OR. What's the etz ma or? Not light. So he says the etz ma or is not beget the gili. It's not in the realm of revelation. Other What is it? Interesting. Misalim miskalil batsmusa. It goes back into atsmos and that's or. So stop calling it or. No, I'm going to call it or, but it's not or. It's misalim miskalil batsmusa. This this he just said the whole mind or here. This is the whole mind or. That or doesn't only capture or because or is so real, because or is so bottle, because or is a real channel. SO IT CHANNELS ALSO THE FACT that it's not a channel. You heard what I just said? It channels the truth that it's not a channel because what I'm channeling is what I'm channeling. But I'm a channel. So what does it mean I'm a channel? I channel the fact that I'm not a channel. In other words, there's that of gili, but atsmos is not beget the gili. That also channels. So what does that bring out? That brings out go back into atsmos. Go away from or. Go away from gili. Lamala beget the gili. So you would think okay, so there's nothing to do with that. So fine, so that's inaccessible. This is called the treasure. Oitzer means hidden. Just like the oitzer is the concealed from every viewer. Atzmus is called Sossim. Why I know that Sossim but I can make a couple. I let you show Sossim it's at Atzmus the host. Not Sossim it's at the Macabul. You could say any recipient is too finite to receive it. So it remains Sossim. And even the highest highest highest worlds like a Gabi Atzmus it can't receive it so it says that's not the vart. But Atzmus it's Sossim. It's not because you're unworthy or uncapable. That's a beautiful vart. That's a true vart in life. That's true even in the first level of air. Air be getting Gili can't be revealed everywhere. Depends. On one level it's Sossim. On a higher level it's be Gili. A higher level On a what's Gili on one level the Gabi a higher level that has to be Sossim. I can't receive that. Here he's saying something else. He's saying Sossim the host. That's the expression in the Zohar. What's Sossim the host? Sossim It's Sossim even of the Sossim because it's not Sossim only with the Gabi the Macabul it's Sossim be etzem. What's that Sossim be etzem? Sossim be etzem means it's not because I don't have who to talk to. It's not because you're not old enough. You're not mature enough. You're not real enough. You don't have enough experience. You're not infinite. Those are all good reasons but that's not the vart. Sossim be etzem is the world of the world of Gili is not try it over there. The word revelation, communication, expression, manifestation these are all realms that are a Gili. And Atzmus is not defined not by Gili and not by Sossim but also not by Gili. Of course if he wants he could reveal himself. But it's not be getting something that it could be contained by Gili. Now you could say one second God could do whatever he wants. Of course he could do whatever he wants. He could reveal also the Sossim. I have no problem with that. But it's not it's not be getting Gili. It's not big gather gillery means it's not something that's going to be contained by my finite resources that I'm going to be able to say it's my experience. In his infinity, yeah, he's uninhibited. It's awesome gillery. Big gather gillery means it's relatable. The fact that he's big gather the awesome cuz he can y'all cuz he's a killer y'all. And that's the whole gillery of gillery is the relational, the connection. Gillery is that I want you. The awesome so when gillery you could say I want you. And because I want you, I'm connecting to you. But here it's not try it. It's beyond. And this is the this is the this is the answer. So the rabbit says I'm not a answer is all awesome cuz much of the bottom leaning on the top. This answer remains awesome cuz it's a cuz it is awesome. As long as it's not negative victory. When it comes the question of winning the war So they opens the and treasures that are sealed generationally. In other words, all the data they were concealed because the ultimate concealed Alicia iPhone on a signal that I come on more little being a supporter of the title. But the way he gives it, how does he give this answer? It's not a regular way of giving. It's not I give you the answer. It's like we said before about the stories of title. But do we sing in a martial? What we said before about Michelle Obama? It's given over like a story. It's given over like a martial. It's given over in a way that you don't nothing nobody gave you anything. You didn't get anything. You got a cute parable. You got a a cute story about some snake and tree. You didn't give me revealed light and depth and infinity. You didn't give that to me. You gave me a parable. You don't see anything in the parable. But he says this has the whole the whole depth the way it's by the even the part of that's not it's even the you put into that. But I think here is the here is the but I think in your in your in your couple. Because he put it into a martial it becomes yours. It's not his anymore. You understand that's what giving means. This this becomes the Indian of the it's not just it remains and therefore you don't have to it. Not only have a to it it becomes yours. You know you could use it for your battle and win. If it would never become yours you can't you win the battle with it. It becomes yours. The treasure is now belonging to the soldier he could go win. It doesn't remain detached from him. So here you have the ultimate ultimate paradox. That the not the the that's that's going to come down trickling more revelation more more revelation. But this Indian of that's not it's in about say. It's not shareable cuz it's not something to be shared. But in the time of that must come out. Why? Cuz without it you're not going to win. Without it everything is at stake. In other words the king's throne will be usurped. Remember this is not a for booty he said in the beginning of the it's a for the for the victory itself. Not because I want territory. Is that either the melech is real or the melech is fake. Either the melech will be assassinated. It's a zero-sum game or not. So, for this the sachna milchama, if this is not given, if this oitzer is not given, the the soldiers won't win. You need to go to the sassum ba'atzmum. I saw I I want I just I'm not going to I I don't know, but just to understand the rebbe is articulating here that there's a disease in our generation that without the sassum ba'atzmum will not be able to heal. There's a There's a stage of finishing the victory that you need something that no other generation needed. They They They They were amazing. They were incredible. We're all here because of them. But they did not notzach the nitzachon hamelchama. He has to So, I just want the people to understand when we just say let's continue the past, it worked. No, it didn't work. Of course we continue the past. As all the halachos of maser mesina and the Torah and mitzvos, we learned what Torah and mitzvos are. That's the etzem. But when you just say like just like your father is a day, your alter zayde. In many ways those are beautiful words, but they're also very not true words. They're not authentic words. Yeah. A father tradition and kabbalah so malchus shamayim and and shachris mincha ma'ariv and shulchan orech avada, we learned that the whole thing that the that the iker is the ma'aseh. But But to be toifes this that there's something in the sassum that was not SHIYACH TO BE NIGALEH, NOT because of It wasn't shiyach. It's a din of atzmus. And yet there comes some I know it would have never been because it it doesn't belong to It's not shiyach. It's not bigeder giluy. And this is the samach chaim. This is This is literally the weapon, the experiential weapon, the energy that without this victory doesn't happen. And that's why the Melech is ready to squander and splurge this oitzer, which is not shiyach to giluy at all. It belongs in atzmus. It belongs in atzmus. Nu, so what do you think it is? What Something Something is happening here. Without this, you're not going to win. You're going to lose. You're You're going to be disconnected. You're not going to be able to finish the work. And this is what gives the netzach and this is the oitzer. And it has to become yours. It's all given to you, but it's not given in a way of giluy. He says it as a "Seppur em meshalam." It's almost like it has everything It has everything, but not in a way that it compromises the sossom. And it becomes in yona shel hamakabel. In other words, it doesn't remain up there. It becomes your thing. So, you could You could take it. You could take it to the bank, so to speak. You could take it to the front lines. I can't give a soldier a weapon that he can't use and just say, "Oh, it's a good weapon. Thank you." It needs to He's He's doing the work, not me. The soldier's doing the work. Not the king. The king is giving it to him. Nu, Reb Avraham, what do you think this is? Huh? See the Rebbe takes risks. He doesn't He doesn't It's not flowery. He takes risks. He says He takes something. Huh? Exactly. He's giving away the oitzerus. Huh? Yeah, that's what he's saying. It's not a game. It's It's It's netzach milchama. There's something at stake. In other words, all of history, the entire What's the word? The entire investment of Hashem. Creation was an investment, right? A big one. And a lot of pain in that investment. We all know that. A lot of pain, sweat, blood, and tears, and joy. As we're learning. The whole investment might go down the drain, Has v'shalom. And the king knows this. So, all these atzmus are all good and nice until it goes down the drain. Cuz if the investment is worthless, it means that it's even more important than the atzmus. You have to have something that is deeper than the treasure being a treasure. And what is that? Victory. And maybe that itself is the vort. The moment you realize that more important than atzmus being atzmus is the victory. Is Is your life. Is the relationship. Is our avodah. Is what this world is supposed to be. What my life could be. That itself perhaps experientially that for this even atzmus is is finished atzmus. In terms of atzmus, you here. It's you. All the empowerment in the world doesn't come close to this empowerment. You're looking for the source? Go to the mirror. But we're in the in the mashal, in the story. In the maiseh and the asiyah. And here he adds another fascinating vote. Which which brings out on what one more insight in this whole in here. And that's what he finishes with this inside. One more thing you need to add about the otzer. He says in the mind where that it was gathered over generations, generation after generation. He himself gathered it and his fathers gathered it. It's the crown jewels that was transmitted over generations and remained concealed. What is what how does this add up to the idea? Hashem is not collecting from his fathers and father's father. What's that in the nimshal? That this king has it for a thousand years, 2,000 years, you know, the crown jewels of England, the crown jewels of France. What what's the mashal here from his fathers? It's explanation of the Tzemach Tzedek which this year is tough shin khavav when he said the mind was 100 years of his histalkus which is tough resh khavav. You'd give him this tough resh khavav. So tough shin khavav was 100 years of his histalkus. The pasuk ekev tishmun it says because you will listen to Hashem v'shamah Hashem sabris v'sachesed all the rewards. So the title of ekev tishmun means the heel, the sole of the foot. Ekev ekev shel regel. V'haya ekev tishmun that as a result of you listening to me ekev at the end of time b'soif hayamim ekev v'haya ekev at the end you're going to have the result of tishmun is going to be the s'char mitzvah. So the Tzemach Tzedek explains You could learn v'haya ekev tishmun even though you don't see any sky now. Don't worry, it's going to come at the end. There's going to be a time but I can't say I am everybody is going to get sky. That's the best test. Don't think shot is even if it's not now, it's in the future. I owe you my company owes you $100,000. I don't have the money right now or whatever. I don't want to pay you right now, BUT DON'T WORRY. THERE'S GOING to be a time you're going to get your full salary paid. This is good. God says life is this but at the end you're going to get it. He says that's not the word. Because I want my salary today, not in 5,000 years. I want my salary today. He said something else. I love that I have to manage. There's a mattress stuck in in in in in mattress acre. So he tells a story. There were a few people. They came to the princess been hired. Who was a tonner. And they gave him it says there two I think two saw of barley. A small measurement of barley. To to hold. And they forgot about it. You know, it wasn't it wasn't very expensive. They forgot about it. They left. They moved on. So now the princess been hired has barley. And there's nobody coming to get it because they forgot about it. He's a He's a shimer. He's a guardian. So how you doing? What what does he do? Stop to leave it. I guess after a while it's going to it won't be good. So how you doing? Been hired is doing some work all summer. So he went and he took the seed of kernels and he planted it every year during the season of barley. And it grows grows a lot. He makes a silo a garden is a silo a storage house where you put in the barley. The coins and he gathers and he does it year after year after year. So the two saw of barley because of all now a whole a whole field. A Hashem has shown him seven years pass. And I guess they remembered. I don't know how, but they remembered. So they come, you know, and they're ready to sue him, you know? Cuz seven years he probably ate it, whatever he did. So they're ready, they come to be to be a buyer. We want our two sub barley, you know, I gave you 50 bucks, I want my 50 bucks. May I have you could I have you If he had a year recognized them. So you think there's now going to be a confrontation like seven years you're not here, you know, go go go What what am I? I'm a lame, he said, boy you clue what you say. Come and take your answer. They come in, they see from two saw, you put in $50 and you go home with $50,000. This is good fellow. Good mutual fund, you know, you put in your $200 25 years ago, you come home, here's your answer. That's the story. What's the word? The pinches been a year, he didn't just give them what they gave him. He didn't return what they gave him. He returned what they gave him but with a whole different dimension. So I'll dare you to have a new show. So here's the new show. So I days that you must have a total. It's not that God will reward you what he owes you for what you did. No. As it gets delayed, miss I can have a You wait for it. You anticipate it. For many years generation of generation It's a different sky you're getting. It grows and then there's a growth and then there's a growth that grows from the growth cuz remember after the the the barley grew the next year, he took all of that and he planted it again. So the growth became gidule gidulin until he tells them here's your oitzer. And the word he uses oitzer, it's like a treasure, it's a whole silo. That's your oitzer in machatala. He does it for the one who waits. What you understand what he's trying to say in the nimshul here? When he says gathered over generations, generations, generations, it's not stam to say it was a beautiful oitzer. In every generation, it becomes a different oitzer. You're not talking here in quantity. It's compounding. It's gaining value. So, the oitzer that we're talking about, it's not stam another generation, another generation, another generation, another generation. The vartus, it becomes a different oitzer. So, the le maila dink cuts that we're talking about in atzmus, the oitzer of atzmus of a previous GENERATION IS NOT THE OITZER OF THIS GENERATION. THAT waiting and that anticipation and that distance, it creates a new oitzer. When you're getting that oitzer, it's a different oitzer. The higher aikev tishmu, and it's going to be a whole different ingle because it's aikev. So, really what this is saying is that the distance, we spoke about the child being distanced from the father. And the only thing that can reconcile that distance is the tinok. But what tinok? The tinok that can only be experienced in the distance, which is not revelation. It's the tinok atzmi that a child finds in his essence, which the father communicates through the simple stories and through coming down into his world. Right? He's in the mud. He's He's a He became a peasant. If you send them royal coaches and royal ministers, I don't know what you are. I don't know. So, you need somebody to go into his world and into the mud, and that's the stories of Torah. Right? That's the That's the That's the integration. I'm I'm interested in what you're interested. I'm connected to you. And in that world, he finds the connection, and it's in the distance, and that's the only thing that can save the connection because what exists over there is not the giluy, but the atzum. So, as that distance continues, because he says doir after doir after doir after doir, a deeper tinok comes out. Remember what the maggid said, that the only thing that connects opposites is tinok, and the more opposites, the more tinok you need. So, the ultimate opposites, you need the ultimate tinok. So, that's the vort, that after so many generations, the tinok that's being given to us, and that we are capable of touching and revealing and embodying is an oitzer that in a previous generation it couldn't yet be. Because only that level of oitzer, only that level of tinok, is what can heal that rift, that distance. So, if the distance is deeper, you need a whole different level of tinok. As the maggid says, it's tinok that connects opposites. THAT'S THE GLUE. MORE OPPOSITES, A whole different level of tinok. Tinok amurchav, tinok apashut, tinok aatzmi. And in tinok aatzmi, b'ufar, doir after doir after doir after doir, a compounded oitzer, a complete And only that can heal the child, can heal the galus, can can create a victory. And that's what's being given. For oitzros adis treasure auf she noist na mosif l'pkeidei hachayil. He said this even though the melech gives it to the commanders, he gives it to the generals. Harei hakavana hi sheyagiya l'an shehachayil. They're not allowed to keep it to themselves. If they keep it to themselves, it's treason. They were given it to distribute to the soldiers. K'dei sheyiflu l'us nitzachon amucham. When the Rebbe the moment the second time tough involved, I was there already 40 years ago. So, he said that Pideha Chayil are the Rebbeim. That the Melech gave them the Oisios of Chassidus. But the holy reason he gave it to them is for the Anshei Chayil. Uh one of the first Shiurim you came to the Beis Yechi said, I see the Alter Rebbe, he doesn't keep any secrets for himself. Why? He said people who have such secrets, they like to keep it for themselves cuz it's First of all, it's nice. The second of all, it gives you leverage as we call it in English. When you have such secrets, right? But that's only if you're not bottled with Mitzvos, if you have an agenda. And then you're not trusted. The reason the Alter Rebbe has everything is cuz he gave everything. You understand? The moment it's like, "Ooh, this is good stuff. I have Ruach Hakodesh, you know?" It's a very, very sensitive inyan cuz in every person's life, the moment the commander takes says, "There's a billion dollars and I'm allowed to take 2% commission off The moment you do that, it's it's treason on the deepest level cuz you were given the Oitzer. You weren't given a percent of Chitzonius the Kenyan. So, that's what he says here. The whole Toichen is the Anshei Chayil. The second the moment you lose touch of that, that it's all for the soldier on the ground, boots on the ground, Kedai Sheyiflu Sakin Amolcham. Ve Davka Yodam. Who's Al Yodam? The soldiers. Mis Mallei Retzon HaMelech. They fulfill the deepest desire of the king. Who's the king here in the Moshol? Malchusho Shel Olam, the king of the world. So, you're not Amolcham, they should win the war. Ve Ad Sheyiflu until the soldiers will achieve Kiyum HaYud, the fulfillment of the prophecy of Yeshaya Novi. Ve Nigla Kvod Hashem. Ve Nigla Kvod Havaya. Ve Ro'u Chol Basar Yachdav Ki Fi Hashem Diber. The glory of Hashem will be revealed and all flesh will see that the mouth of Hashem speaks. This possuk he chooses to end the ma'amar. Why this possuk? So, I don't know. But, perhaps what's the possuk saying? The whole This is the inyan. The nigleh k'vod Hashem v'ro'u chol basar ki Hashem diber. Most m'forshim say that when the glory of God will be revealed, everybody will see that what God spoke was fulfilled. His promises were fulfilled. In other words, you'll see what he said is going to happen is going to happen. But, the the Alter Rebbe teaches is much different. The Alter Rebbe teaches is not everybody's going to see that the promises will happen. This is the toichen of geulah. V'nigleh k'vod Hashem v'ro'u chol basar ya'chdav all flesh will see ki pi Hashem diber. That reality is pi Hashem diber. The whole reality is the diber of Hashem. That's how he teaches. V'ro'u chol basar That is Moshiach. It's not that you're going to see God will do what he said he'll do cuz now we don't see it. V'ro'u they'll see ki pi Hashem diber that everything is pi Hashem diber. There's nothing outside of pi Hashem diber. V'ro'u chol basar flesh The flesh will see ki pi In other words, that's the ultimate fusion between the higher and the lower that the basar the the the earth down here the flesh basar l'ganei Eden ha'elyon will be able to experience ki pi Hashem diber. Why? Cuz v'nigleh k'vod Hashem. Huh? The ta'anug atzmi is in asiyah. In asiyah. In the mashal in the support of the asiyah. M'kashe she's toifez ein in machshavah, diber, ma'aseh. I just want to say Monday I'm going to be in London Sunday. So, Monday morning there's no shiur. Uh You can come to London. Wednesday night is Yud Shvat. Motzei Yud Shvat there'll be a big farbrengen here. 20 for shiur upstairs. 8:00 in the evening. Please share with friends and family. Everybody is invited. It'll also be live streamed by Hashem. We'll cover your Yomi Y'luloh. If it has in the Miami, we'll have to take 20 hours and put it into cuz I don't know if everybody sitting there is uh Huh? That is him. Messiah is You know Hashem you see that everything is dibber. Or in the lotion of this everything is Enoch. Like I said you you're drinking a cup it's he's talking to you. Could you please listen to me? I'm talking to you. Don't eat my apple. I'm talking to you. I'm talking to you through an apple because you're a child. You don't understand my language. I'm talking to you through coffee. I'm talking to you through a shirt. I'm talking to you through through the sunrise through the sunset. I'm talking to you through the through through the animal. I'm talking to you. That's the relationship. You know I'm talking to you. Could you look at me? Don't look I'm talking to you. It's it's really it's it's it's such it's such a it's it's it's so beautiful to think of this in terms of life. If I'm talking to you and I'm sharing my heart with you, right? It's pretty not nice if you just you know in the middle of a you know the the husband goes to the you know the one second I have a text. I'm I'm not just talking to you. I'm trying to marry you. That's essentially what he's saying. I'm trying to marry you. Like can you look at me at least? That's why you're looking away. I'm talking to you. I'm trying to connect you. I'M TRYING TO MARRY you for heaven's sake. Only you. There's no other girl. I want you. I'm busy. Sorry. I'M DRINKING A COFFEE. NO, I'M I'M THAT'S THE WORD. We distract ourselves from presence through the world, which is all presence. It's all about presence. So, that's what the Bal Shem Tov was trying to tell people, devekus. Devekus means could you come in to realize I'm trying to connect to you. Please. Like, there's no snake here. Like, don't make this into a snake. I'm really trying to connect to you. It's beautiful, no? Yeah, but the problem actually is that he made the distractions also. He made the distractions also. That's true. Why? Cuz he wants us Cuz that's to choose the relationship, yeah? To choose to choose Cuz if not, it wouldn't be a choice, yeah? Yeah. All the animals in the world and all the trees in the world, all the creations are all manifesting that. But, we're the only ones to choose it. Right? Like, hadriat mikadeshes li and the kalah has to agree. If she says no, I'm not mekudeshet, you're not. the whole idea of setting up that someone else should distract the chosson. See, is he going to respond or not? Right. So, the tinug is makif. It's always there, but you have to choose. You have to use it. It's always there. Tinug is makif, but it could remain subconscious. It could remain superconscious. You have to pull it out. In other words, if you look deeper, if you sit with it, you're going to find the tinug. But, you have to sit with it. It's there. But, I could just look at the chitzonius and say, "Oh, there's no tinug here. Next, next." The moment you say, "Next, next, next, next." You just You just stripped it from tinug. There's no next. What's next? And every mitzvah exists This is it. That's why oisek bemitsvah patur min hamitsvah. The Gemara says, "Ein oisin mitsvos chavilois chavilois." You don't put mitsvos together. Why not? Kill two birds with one stone. We all try to do that. One telephone CALL WITH A MECHAYEI. You just stripped it FROM TINUG. IT'S IF it's a checklist, much better. You went to a chosson in the same hall there was a bar mitzvah. That's it. You don't have to waste your whole night, right? So you're not at the chosson, you're not at the bar mitzvah. It's checklist. But if the mitzvah is ta'anug, so what says chavilous chavilous? So what happens is we strip the mitzvah from the experience of the mitzvah. We strip the mitzvah from the ta'anug. We We turn it into a a a duty which I checked off. It's a transaction, yeah. Transaction. I have to I have to put them put send a check put it to check into the bank take it out. You don't sit at the bank teller and say I want to look at you. Wow, what an experience to look at you, right? They'll call the police. And there's other people in the line. So that's the difference between ta'anug and transaction. And the truth is even in the bank there's also ta'anug. Huh? Okay, look at the money. Yeah. What ta'anug? If you're in a place of ta'anug, you're going to radiate it to the bank teller who probably could use a good uh warm inside cuz it's pretty or the bank manager, yeah. But you have to when you go into a bank usually the ta'anug gets especially if you're not going into make a big deposit, so.
