Their book says, so we're learning in HaShirim, relationship flow podcast, we're learning in their office. Khaf Gimel Sivan, it's the 23rd day. And we the war was re-ignited, so we're going to learn in the merit that we should have heavenly protection for all of Am Yisrael, the soldiers and the families. We should have Shmira Elyona in the merit of Rebbe Nachman ben Faiga ben Simcha and his talmid Rebbe Nosson. Zechus Adoneinu Rebbe Nachman miBreslov. And he says here the the role of the tzaddik the role of the tzaddik is enlightening one's body. Just like one's soul needs to be infused with awareness of Hashem through perceptions of godliness. This is Halacha Daled Seif Daled, like the fourth part, the fourth Halacha in Likutei Halachos. And remember we're learning Ashkonas Boker. It's all all one tzaddik for the since we've been learning Likutei Halachos. A day up besorah yishkon betach. As a result of simcha and vitality, chiyus, we learn about bringing chiyus. Achain simcha libi, having simcha and chiyus. Upon him, having upon him that smiles that radiates of the Tzemach Tzedek. We're going to go soon to to be mekabel his ponim, yeah, the chasana. You're going to see the ponim, the simcha. This joy and vitality, the simcha, is revealed in malchus. My flesh too rests secure. Namely the the the more mugsham flesh, like the lowest flesh of the body, it will be infused with perceptions of godliness, of Elokus. Ki vishvil zeh nivra Adam shivatesh gufa idei am u'vegiya betoevos mises. We have this lashon in Tanya. Because mankind, humanity, was created for this purpose that a person disciplines his body, yeah? And Tanya almost sounds like you beat it up a little bit, but remember we asked with Yossi Goldstein and he said nowadays the mashpi'im of Chabad say you shouldn't beat up yourself, yeah? It's not It's not a good idea. Not for this door. But it just means on some level like a little bit of discomfort like right now we don't have them as gun in here. Fans on. Just bite them, you know? You carry on learning with simple Don't let the a little bit of discomfort affect you in your Hashem. But in those days they used to like push their body, work their body, work their goof. We do it on some level. Exercise or pushing ourselves to get up some moments of discipline. And through toil and effort and studying Torah and doing mitzvahs, that would be the more healthy one. Yeah? Instead of beating yourself up, use it positively, yeah? Use it to push your body to sit in the base medrish and learn daf yomi with your gear, pushing your mind, pushing your heart, opening your heart. And getting your body involved in avodas Hashem. Ki adam l'amal yulad, yeah? Adam l'amal yulad, a man was born to toil. Is that what the Torah means when it says "A man was born to toil"? And this is reference to striving in Torah, pushing ourselves learning in Torah as Chazal teaches. Speaking of adam b'torah u'v'avodah, v'kiddush atzmo kol kak ad sheyiskaleil gufo gam gufo ha'oiris umisageis al hakadosh baruch hu. One must labor and push in Torah in service of Hashem and strive to be kadosh, to sanctify and retire purify himself or herself so much until what? He merits illumination even his body with perception of Hashem's godliness of Elokus. Like you see by tzaddikim like remember Rav Shimon bar Yochai, look at his panim, you see this endless panim of tzaddikim, you see on their panim a or. It's a turn that or with a aleph. They turn themselves from or with a ayin to or with an aleph. Their their skin has become lichtig, yeah? They're refined. Their iron middos, 70 attributes, have brought the light of the sham into their meters and their meters so they shine. We achieve the sanctity and purity because of the great and true tzaddik whom guides us around lofty insights. He gives us big miss again in English guy condition is by being around this all. With such awesome indirect explanations, things that don't really come to mind but maybe not from all the nothing or better tell me all the sudden you can you start to when you're learning their toys they they get you to think in different ways that you never would have thought of. They have condition entire. And that that's that's a big big in could uh with such wondrous constructions. This is another powerful concept. I'd share bono a song goes at a course gumbo day no big goof ain't no you know that until it lights us with a perception of a course even while we're still a weakness person inside a goof inside a body. So you start to illuminate your body. That's the real director of Tony. Your body should become more elevated more lifted. So the illumination of the a course which we receive the message given a course will also reach the goof. Yeah. Enlightening the body through this. The body starts to understand. You start to teach the body the the language of the soul. Which is something which I'm very busy with. I'm always trying to work on that. You know, they just put out a podcast episode from this MLP muscle easier podcast and it's basically 35 seconds of me talking about what what is the language of the soul explaining it in very short form in English in the most universal way. And the more you start to explain it and and live it and actualize it, the more your goof becomes more refined, more in tune with the neshama. And I like it becomes like a like a candle in there, you know, like a little up from the fire of the neshama and your body, which is like the wax candle or the shamash ayas, comes lit up. Cuz that iker has shleimus that the goof from the goof become aware of the sagas of the neshama specifically. The sagas. So, this is the essence of the spiritual perfection to inform even the body of all the illuminations perceptions that the neshama attains. So, we have to learn to keep up a balance between the the neshama and the nefesh and the goof. Yeah, we were learning the Torah Rabbi the other day and he says the mitzvah is he brought the time of mitzvah from the safer chinuch. He said it has to be like a parshas chayei Sarah for those in still in parshas week uh shlach lecha. The inyan is it has to be mazon to the nefesh and mazon to the goof. That's the loshon of the of the safer chinuch. It has to be nourishment. You have to make sure you're feeding both your body and soul. You know, but chassidus is a big way of feeding the soul. Teaches you the language of the soul and in the midst of Torah and doing exercise, feeding the body, achila, shtiya is feeding the goof. But doing it with kavana, with intention, with the chassidus you learn it, elevates the goof. Brochos with with amalus, pushing yourself a little bit out of your comfort. Moshe Rabbeinu Torah chose mitzvos This is This is a lesson which is chose mitzvos. Something very deep. The Rebbe discusses in the kesser Torah where it's necessary to show great compassion for the body. You see, to purify and thus be able to inform it of all the insights and perceptions of the soul specifically. I once heard from Moshe Rabbeinu, I mentioned him this morning about the war with Rav Gedaliah Aharon and Rav Yaakov Friedman. He once said, Moshe Wilson, that the story from Rebbe Nachman when he went to one of the big ma'amarim and sichos from the Baal HaTanya. And this was the main nekudah that he was mispallel from. A lot of it he wasn't so It wasn't really his style of Torah, but the nekudah of of having rachamim, mercy on your on your on your body through the soul, this this he got tremendous hispa'alus. He got very excited about. >> Think about the whole message of the Torah, right? >> No, no. >> If the world If the world would be only walking in this world >> Yeah. >> It's the world that Hashem made the the world with gufnius. We break my thing. This is mitzvah all the time. >> Right. >> Hashem made the whole world gashmius. All guf. Guf is this >> Yeah. >> nishama guf. The whole world is nishama. >> Right. >> Cuz the whole thing the whole thing of Hashem is that with the with the guf that we have and with the world that we live in to make it >> That's If there's a Hashem this simple thing >> Should be a world with Hashem. Shouldn't be a world. This is how you how you how you eat. How you live it in this world. >> Has to affect everything. Live with Hashem in this world, so it's different. Very good. And that's why he goes on to say, very good. And he says, "Everything is after sorry yishkon lavetach." This is the the aspect of my flesh to rest secure. To go on basar guf yishkon lavetach ayedei yizkeh bachayav, that even the flesh of the of the mensch of the person will rest securely by what? B'dei b'guf l'hachias ha'orah. By the din of the guf meriting awareness, consciousness, intention of the of the of our creator bringing that into the guf. Ayedei tzaddik emes ayevo hasagas Elokus kenah. And this happens. How do we get to this? Through the true tzaddik who enlightens him with perceptions of godliness. If you see a tzaddik eat, see a tzaddik daven, you see a tzaddik dance, the way he talks, the way he gives tzedakah, you watch the Sadiq and it gives you the or to be able to know So it's almost like here we to make sure you push yourself to Sadiq. Cuz that's how you're going to connect to this deeper or and be a dogma of how and it's it's preferation of the Torah and say for the volume it says Dava the boy after be Dava to Tom Hoken to also means the Sadiq. You have to be Dava to Sadiq in order to have the Vegas to a sham. It's it's it's it's you have to just, you know, by yourself. Moishe Right. Yeah, that's what we learning yesterday. That's it. That's Tanya yesterday. And that's the ticking of Koirah to realize that Moishe Emes is Sura Emes and whatever major Koirah thought I'm Sura on Kulam Kadoshim or whatever Misagi had but he was not the Emes understanding the Machina of Moishe Emes is Sura Emes. So Moishe I had that's why he's still saying it till now that to understand that Moishe was the the Sadiq of the world. It was God. Yeah. Moishe yeah. Yeah, that's what we going to see in the future. That's why it's such a working of saying cuz you getting the sham is all the sham is from all the doors come to the Koirah and you about to bring down all the new sham is they going to come and all the doors are going to come from this >> This is just a little Torah. There's 440 the front Sure. >> Yeah, it goes all the way back. And Moshe Rabbeinu says wanted to be the clay for that or So just to end off the zero kilo tells of nafshi the show that you will not abandon my nefesh to the grave. Nefesh who begins mouth is good or So nefesh is the lowest part of the soul which is related to mouth kiss which is the lowest part of the soul. >> Good. >> And the whole point is just as we're learning here is to bring it down all the way into from Hochma to all the way down or Kesser all the way down to Malchus. I begin as Hochma to tell the nefesh corresponds the lower level wisdom. Key lower to of nafshi the show that Hashem will not abandon us abandon us into the show. Who was in the show? This is where the Sadiq says. Who Who abandoned us in the show? Yeah, who got abandoned? He wasn't really abandoned but Korach fell into the show. He fell into this hole. Show it uses the Russian show. So but just to to end off the story one second. So he's So the whole idea is that he he will not abandon us. And even Korach's going to get his ticket ultimately cuz he's still Mikasha Basov to the Sadiq. Yeah. Time show that Yeah, that's what we have Sadiq brings. Sura Chaim he says he went down and with the Sura Chaim the Chaim the life. We learn that in the Sadiq. So you power how key and Malchus only begin as Hochma to tell Shli Shli begin as nafshi. That the parts of Malchus aspects of my lower wisdom which corresponds my nefesh will not fall. Lower to serve the show you will not abandon them and let my nefesh descend to the grave God forbid. So that's very appropriate for Korach. Ultimately everything's going to have a ticket even Korach's going to come out and the kind Godel Yeah, Messiah coming and this is the Indian that we I to elevate the good of all of Christ so through the side there. In the inner Marcus. Talking about Marcus Marcus is the feeler so let's go down with result the good news.
