Find Your True Heart & Beg G-d for Bond - Tanya Igeres HaKodesh 4a- Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

so we're learning GES the fourth section of T we're on page which is opposite 208 we're Ates the fourth letter this letter is also about and in this letter the AL Associates SED with G with Redemption both Global Redemption I mhia coming and also personal Redemption so this is an important letter that he hasn't discussed before let's see what let's see what he [Music] says say that the yish people the Jewish Nation won't be redeemed unless they do righteousness that's one t of Seda from the root word HED and the other classical meaning of SED is charity and he brings the p in yes Isaiah and the captives that were captured upon leaving Yim will be returned to Jerusalem through teda that's the famous in the Zion will be redeemed through judgment in that case it refers to Torah study and the captives of Zion who were captured when chased out of Jerusalem and its captives will be redeemed from captivity through Seda so the AL quotes here half of the verse not the full verse as a support for the which the say that if you want to have Redemption you need as it says in yes the captives who are want Gula they want Redemption they want to come back to Jerusalem they don't want to stay in captivity just like the hijack the the the the hijacked Kim now want to be returned to their their land and their people and their parents and their relatives and families and its captives will happen through Ted so what this means before we go further simply speaking is to give to s that through giving Seda that's charity it'll help the the the hostages and number two to from the word SED righteousness the more righteous we are it helps the hostages that's what it says in the PK and that's what it says in Kaz here comes the there's another yal SED righteousness before him yal he will make go asks the on the L language of I believe it's a verse in Psalms should have said righteousness will walk that when you do righteousness you walk with righteousness yal is the same word but it doesn't mean you will walk but you will make someone else walk asks the AL over here seemingly the language is incorrect that's his question and and his question begs the answer in other words of course is correct in his precise language y because through we make something else within us be present and this is what he going to talk about now the and who we are and how through y not only do you go do you gain from s but there's something in you that we don't see necessarily I that benefits from and is necessary for the bond with god let's see what he says to understand this he brings another verse which we say every day during to you says my heart Hashem says I want your heart to search my face P again whenever you see p in t it means something is not clear that we need commentary pet me and the explanation is if it says it says Hashem right Hashem is saying I want you Jew to search for me so why does the p repeat as P I'm sorry pem aak it it should say your face your countenance aak why is the the word why is god mentioned in the second half of the verse God is saying this so says I don't want you just to do in a robotic way the mitzvas I want you to search you know bakes means to search to request to beg as po what look for my oh in other words not just look for God look for the inner God the inner child within you the inner experience the inwardness pus and this already by the way is the answer to the question H why yal and not is referring to the person himself yal is referring to the that's and we have to make that walk along for the for Hashem and so this this is why the verse um is very much supportive of the concept of pus because there too in the verse it doesn't mean search for the outer God the ex strenuous God hold on I have to close the windows I'm sorry so the so other words the the Theus Theus is not a that's not a big deal that's what we walk with every day and from there you're not going to accomplish Bak if you really want to find God you have to go into pus and we all know that you could do the Mitzvah and you should do the Mitzvah but it could be robotic stale just this morning a boy a kid comes into Sho and he goes in to get a coffee during daving and I noticed I said to myself I think I should ask him to put on filling we're in the yamaka I go into the coffee room after DAV I say um do you need a pair of Fillin and he says yeah yeah yeah but I just got up just give me a few minutes and I did filling with him in SHO in park right you got to run out to Venice Beach and you got to run to New Mexico and you got to run to China to put on filling with Jews no no you could put filling on with Jews today in your own base Mish I promise you okay after he put on thill and he and he said you know he daved of course he knew theis and he used M he put him on his Ash Way and he told him he's going back toel and whatever he's 20 years old so someone and then he went went away and I said if I can help him let me know I'm around so someone in the back I didn't even know that you know he he he he says to me someone Do's there he says no you did your laage thing today you know that that's a standard common when a laage puts on thrilling with someone else so I said no no no no this isn't a laab thing this is a Jewish boy who you know every one of us should think about so he says but how did you know he didn't put on tun it's you know a qu to 7 in the morning and everything is quiet how did you know so I said there's a famous saying them have a good they have a good sense of smell and just looking at him I could smell that you know I'm not sure he's put on fil today hey he has till 7:00 at night to put on fil and maybe he would put on fil I don't know but I I sense that right now he's not in fil mode why am I saying this when you're looking for is you would have the response of the gentleman in the back you don't know but if you if you sense you know and believe me I'm no Holy Roller but if you if you if you train to think pneus to always look for pneus many things that you can't see on the outside on the facade you'll pick up so this is a general very important lessons to train ourselves you know here this isn't even what I'm telling you now is not part of the Tanya but it's just a side message an important one to train ourselves to look for pemus back to the text so he says look for the inner heart behold the flame of the element of fire of the of God that's in the heart there's two levels number one the external the exterior the outwardness pus and the inside the pus the inner inwardness what is the outwardness of the heart he it's the enthusiasm that one comes to be enthused from understanding Bea vas and focus put on the greatness of the infinite God to be to meditate to reflect to contemplate on God's greatness and the result being to give birth the result being from this meditation a mighty love like a flame fire are you hear that is is no small change to have okay to have real fire of for Hashem passion Fire Bar enthusiasm excitement when you when you think not when you just chuckle away and and you know not talking about just shuckling and screaming we're talking about using the mind to understand God a concept of God to think about it to focus on it and then it moves you it moves you I was thinking about this the other day when you learn when you learn in particular and you meditate on it you reflect on it you'll be a different person just one line if you take the time to meditate on it I mean meditate in Kad sense of meditation not transcendental meditation which has other values you know I'm not going you know breathing exercises I'm not I'm not pooing that I'm just saying that's not kabad meditation kabad meditation is a knowledge of the of the Fe of the topic the subject matter to know it well simply to know the meaning well and then to focus on it and and to wrap your mind around it and let your mind become absorbed and swallowed by the idea and when that happens there is aav so again here when to make it clear we're not talking about the external isav that you see in certain cidic movements which is wonderful and important but it's not the you see here I'm not it's Al's words he's talking about his slav H he's talking about enthusiasm and how is he saying how do you come to this enthusiasm through his b this with be and not shuckling and not screaming he doesn't say that here so if you need a proof yes B yes go ahead B go ahead um sorry not not not sorry it's a pleasure please okay so this B like the whole the whole the D there something which is that here which is right so why only okay wait good question okay good question the answer you want the answer you can't wait because is but let's see what he says that's the answer biter and you have to do your homework to think about my answer okay let's continue inside so I I fed your your your tithe of knowing the answer but not to understand the answer that you have to do homework you have to be misb you have to be misb on what I said any let's go further let's see what he says so he says so if that's what could it be greater I have enthusiasm from his b says something totally different the quential point within the depth of the heart the depth of the heart which is above above it transcends knowledge and understanding so that one should be able to meditate on this no is not doesn't come through meditation in in in in of yish Hebrew there's a conceptart is a yish WordArt means a breakthrough when you go when you have a SIM child Mitzvah a wedding or if you feel that way about your friends Sim right you have a SIM Masha usually the Sim the feeling of sim that you have during a Sim comes by understanding what a Sim is who has the Sim why it's so great and you're happy about it right I married off two daughters in three months Hashem gave me a great gift I'm I'm ecstatic about it because I I know what I went through for five to 10 years right looking for sh for my girls my daughters and I know all the agony and I know all of the akish and all the anxiety and all the phone calls and all the complaints on and on and on right so now when you're you're gied by God the the it makes sense to be that's a great Sim and everyone should have those Simas we should all have and share those Simas but that's not theim ofus that's in considered still because it comes through a meditation or a reflection a realization an standing so anything that comes y through an understanding is limited but then you go to a you go to a Sim and all of a sudden someone jumps up I've always said the same the same muscle to you cuz it's so real to me standing over there I think it was in not far from the B based medish waiting for a bus and it just hit me standing there I'm in yushan I'm standing on the stones of yusan and I started to dance and people looking at me dance you know I'm singing and dancing they like what happened you cracked up and they see I'm a normal guy you know and I told them I'm just I I just something just overtook me and I feel elated that is more in line with the pus I of the Al is speaking about here there isn't here a calculated reason for the Sim and by the way when you experience that pus Sim people might think you're out of your mind right because it's not time now to dance it's not time now to sing it's you know go to Sho here we sing here we cry here we kneel here we stand up and then there's a gentleman this famous story Le who raised money to save a Jew from the from the uh P from the land owner and he had to drink V that famous story and he just put me down he was drunk and he raised the money and he saved the Jew and but he was they said he would put me down and Sho so I can be there forid and when he realizes everyone standing when he wakes up in Middle before and everyone Rises for kidra he jumps up and he says get up for which we cuz he saw everyone standing and they all wanted to throw out says stop don't you dare touch him and they say rebi he's disturbing the peace says he went straight from to T he doesn't need and and even though techn he was there cuz he that's the but in spirit he doesn't need it because saving a Jew by raising money and and and and and having to drink for it in that case suffering you think he wanted a drink he hated alcohol but he didn't cuz that was the only way he can get the ruble to pay to to Ransom the the the Jew help the Jew so he puts himself on the line for another Jew that that's for talking that doesn't come from meditation it doesn't it never it it doesn't have the ability to comfor meditation because meditation even theab meditation you know as we spoke about is limited to the meditation it's it's still in a box so this is what the AL says and he's say and he's telling us that it is possible for us and this is really as we go along in the chapter here this is what brings G this is what needs to be experienced when you give s not oh he I'll give to to he I won't give TOA why he I know this about him I don't know you know what I'm saying that's all calculated let's go through and says you know we say this in the 10 days of right the capital that we say after before after and then we say it again of course during the from out of the deps I call to you God says the means from the depth of the heart from the now look at this mush in the brackets take for example in worldly Affairs there is a very important thing all of one's energy depends on this thing and this thing is relevant to him to the depth of his heart to the innermost heart and even more and it this drives him to do things to speak things CL that don't make any sense it's exactly what I was telling before if you look at me at the bus station singing and dancing you would think I'm out of my mind okay it's not there's no it wasn't a yum it wasn't a s what are you dancing at the so uses thisas this analogy over here in the brackets is AAS how much more so in other words when a person when a person um when something great happens to them in their life and it touches their very core they they do things and they speak things that are not the norm not necessarily in a b not in a bad way in a good way but it's not the normal so if this is true in the positive it's also there is the opposite for it's also true in the opposite of the negative so it's also in in the heart of of a Jew
