Bris: Circumcise yr indulgences, what's Pnimius - Tanya Igeres HaKodesh 4b- RC Dalfin

so good day we're learning AES we're in the middle of chapter 4 which is on page KU he opposite 208 and we are at the bottom of the page the last two lines right yeah so the AL here is explaining the importance of of giving in in regard to Gula and he hasn't yet dealt with that issue but that's the way theas the letter starts and this is quote from the the yeen Jews are not liberated from go from Exile only in the Merit of giving to so let's see and explains that it's necessary to look for the pemus quoting the verse says I want you to search for my face and Pai doesn't mean just literally a face countenance the face is demonstrative of what's going in in on inside if a person feels good inside you could tell it on the face if they feel crummy inside bad you can also feel it on the in on on the on the outside on the face that's why I mentioned it's important to as much as possible possible to show a happy face a smiling face a good face even when you're not feeling great about yourself or the situation is a good is a difficult situation whatever it is now that's not you you know pneus you'll say I'm a pnei and if I feel upset why should I lie to the world about the way I feel I want to be honest and you know what the answer to that is just because you're having a bad day why should everyone else around you have a bad day the facts the fact is that perception is reality right so you might be feeling so good inside but yet your facial uh appearance points to being upset being angry angry being depressed so everyone around you perceives you as a depressed now angry upset and in truth it's not that way so this is a balance but we're discussing this at this moment this is a balance the balance between AB the balance between the real you at that moment and the technically to fake you and I'll tell you something I've I've experienced this not once but many times and it and it's it's it's a hard AV it's not an easy AA it's not an easy service because you're balancing what you consider to be truthful yourself you're right who you are and not wanting others who have no connection in a way who just observe you and they come away with a conclusion which could be completely erroneous and guess who caused that you did so the AL here and in other places in Tanya tells us that we need to we need to combine the two we need to on one hand look for the pemus live with the pemus don't be a superficial person most people if I may say so are superficial spends Pages upon Pages years upon years to get a person to look for plas to be more pnei inward but simultaneously it should come across with a a brightness a happiness a healthiness so when someone sees you last night I don't know if you saw the two shorts that I made after I went to D at a here and it was quite late for and I heard music from a coming from the outside so after I went outside cuz there's a hall right near next door and there was a and there was a a singer singing so beautifully cdic tunes that are used at a and it just moved my heart it stirred my soul and I just went and parked myself against a car on the street I wasn't even facing Thea and I just stood there like this and listening and taking it in and then I'm saying to myself thinking it'ses where am I and the music gets more intense and more P passionate and more Soul steering I stood there for 10:15 minutes I took a few Clips just to share it with people but I'll tell you something it was so therapeutic it was really moving I'm back to myself today but for those 10 15 minutes I was elsewhere I don't mean you know that I had alas sh like the B you know and here we have our local musician mha Myers talking I'm talking about music M I'm talking about the music that I heard last night so here someone want to look at me at that time B what would he see he would see me standing like this and just leaning back on the car it's it's already dark outside there's music music meaning solemn music meditative music Soul steering music to to to get the in the mood this is a serious time for the the parents and grandparents and all the part all the people who came to participate right so there's a difference between looking serious and thoughtful and mindful versus looking depressed now I'm not going to tell you no one there isn't anyone that will will conclude Rabbi dolin at that time was depressed yeah you'll have some excuse me fools who will make that that conclusion but most intelligent people who are sincere in their observation will see the difference between seriousness mindfulness that's within God's desire of a Jew during the month of el and at other times versus depression and anger and melol so therefore what the Ala says here is not only not a contradiction It's actually an aid the way to get to the deepest feelings of connecting B to hasem is through pneus the temporary gratifications in life from the basic issues of basic needs of eating and sleeping and other basics are not yet pus those are necessary tools and life skills to survive pemus is not satisfied with survival pemus wants a Jew to thrive not just survive how do you thrive when you look for pneus live with pneus teach pemus you know now at a certain point there there's no you know looking teaching pemus it is when when when you encounter that experience there's no like how should I you know it reminds me what I what Z told me when he was in Yesa in the 1940s and he was learning and understanding and saw and they talk about daving daving at length and they never they just spoke about the issue but they never said this is what you should do a b c d so one foran zman said to to some of the Elder Mas who were much older than him and they was you know they were students in laage by the rashab and he said so you talk about pemus and you talk about daving at length but you never showed us he's talking about him and his friends in Yesa in 770 how to do it wow he had theah to question the elders in public and guess what they all knew that he was right but for whatever reason most of them chose not to answer his question or something didn't have an answer but they turned to one gentleman Paris was his name and they said AB you tell him you tell him and he wasn't an official Masia or rash the Yesa and a took them through from hu what you should meditate on as you go through daving and when he came toon he says from here I can any longer why can't I he didn't say why he can't but everyone understood including Shar because from here you're the amida is silence here it's so deep and it's so silent that it is here it's beyond instruction you know think about this and this BR do this and this BR that's all EXT extra outward in comparison to just being superficial superficial but again Yi it's not a gross super superficiality you're and what you're asking is for guidance of what should I think about this particular so it's not like you you're looking to eat ice cream with 75 different flavors okay you're not doing that you're doin and you and you want to ding properly and it's important but nevertheless cannot tell anymore why because the level of is beyond description the silence amid it's not just silent because we say it in a low voice to ourselves it's silent because you've reached the Pinnacle of of the doing experience where no words and no description are adequate are able to express what is going on so that's the ultimate of pus but believe me we have a long way to go before we get there so let us continue now and I I think uh what we spoke about till now even though was kind of off topic is a very important piece of information to share with others for this month and the month of Tish the kabad uh model of pemus let's continue now at the bottom of page KU the second line from the bottom after the dot this I this level of uses the words you need a you need a merit and and why is it that not every person merits to this level to have the service of the heart from the depth of the heart we're on top now page 210 in a way of is says I'll tell you why you want to know why he you know why CU you this level of is by you is in G is an exile it's captured so what do you expect it can't express itself let's see what he says we talk about the Exile of the of the divine presence of hasem says the when your heart is in Gus jaded clogged it's not only that you're in Gus God is with you in Gus so the the God within you can't express itself let's continue he he again using the the the the words twice he it it he this level of pus is also referred to or it is as The Godly spark in your Godly soul and it is Inus it's captive it's captured so it can't unleash itself the question is why says the AL further the reason for this Exile is the saying of our sages when the when the Jews were exiled to Babylon to B the went along and also became exiled it's not as though God is a free is free metaphorically speaking and we are in Gus no no no if we are in we need to know this this is a consolation not a happy consolation but it's a consolation that Hashem is with us in ghost hold on I got to close the window let's continue okay [Music] because the Jew took his pemus his inner heart and put it into negative stuff one opposite the other negativity opposite the K tells us in detail in graphic detail we inserted our pemus into filthy garments the MMA of worldly matters must I tell you more pleasures of life are called and physical material gshi is on its own is neutrality we discussed many times but the abuse of it the the the Indulgence in the gmas is and we take our and it is captured by those indanes let's continue and indulgences of the physical world tus shame right it's called b b you think Iraq B is over there no no no Iraq is right here in bemes in B Park you know when when we act like Iraq we are in Iraq we are in B the he now the AL introduces another concept but it's the same idea this is the forkin that covers the BR the Covenant the Holy Covenant the holy bris that a Jewish child at the age of 8 days old has a bris a ritual circumcision represents the bond the connction the Jewish the and when we immerse ourselves in pleasures of the physical world in indulgences we cover up we cover up the holy bris we cover up the Holy Holy point of the of of the heart and the tah says you shall circumcise as the for skin the cover up of your heart what does that mean the heart wants to act with pemus there's a cover there's the bris the Covenant the holy bris of a Jewish male of a Jewish child there's four skin on the bris if it's not cut away Etc then we have a bris that's been covered by forkin the Torah says you shall circumcise ASAS the forkin in your heart to elucid this idea further regarding circumcision there are two levels Mila circumcision the it's called Mila in Hebrew PR means the removal of the for skin means a thick me cover a thick membrane that would be the part that you need to remove and then we have Kip a thin husk and shell so so to in the moralt so too when it comes to circumcising the heart from the cover up yes there is H gasos there are course indulgences and there are also D refined thin like indulgences tius Mila so there's two things there's MAA to cut away the thick the heavy cover the foreskin which is the the the gross coarse indulgences and then there is the thin layer that Still Remains let's see what he says says what if someone just circumcises cuts but doesn't do the removal of the for skinu the law is this is you didn't circumcise wow but I did circumcision is not valid unless there is MIL and PR the cut the circumcision and the removal of forkin why is that because the end end if you just circumcise and you don't remove the force skim the inner heart is still covered with a Leck with a garment with a sack and it is only in a way of Exile and captivity in other words it's still captured so the AL is saying over here the importance of doing both when it comes to circumcising the in actuality see if it says you yourself have to circumcise the thick coarse for skin on your heart you yourselves what about the remnant that's left over the Easy Clip Z this is difficult for man to do himself and this is what it says that during during the time ofia will come God your God he will circumcise yourself I'm sorry he will circumcise you meaning at that time during the Messianic experience Hashem will do us a great favor and remove even the thin lighter like indulgences from our heart but the coarse ones of r no way Jose you got to do it yourself you shall circumcise don't give me any baloney you're indulging you can work on not indulg in in a in the in a coarse way to tell you that you're going to have no urges no when M will come God Masia experience will remove those urges will remove the the the in the light light weight cover up for that you for you to have love to all your heart quiet I'm sorry with all your soul for the for so that that you should have life to feel that hem is your entire life we will continue tomorrow mem have a great day to everyone byebye you're welcome
