Intro to Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz - How can you behave well even when your not in the mood.

okay so this is the second class in the series of tanya we're going to start today with the introduction of Tanya now generally speaking if you read books I don't know about books got a really really good secular books but in the Jewish world he read any safer in Hebrew told a safer which names to eat rice as a book the introduction to the book is very profound in any in any safer any book and the reason is because the author in the introduction lays out his foundation which is basically the theme or his all outlook on life or his whole outlook of what the philosophy of his of his book is or the concepts you know deep concert is going to be discussing in in the book so it's officially known to start off with learning studying the into the cover page of the tanya and the reason is because here you have so to speak the global map of what's going to be discussed in chania in other words the whole book the whole book of tanya the five sections right is all encapsulated in the first page you know it's like it's like tell you if you have your microchip you know so everything is there and from there if you have the proper tools you can see the thousands of insights and the details etc so literally if you had the power within the first page of the tanya the whole time you there because think about it so all rights a whole book and there's a lot a lot of details and he telling you on the front cover this is what the book is about so the name and the introduction has to encapsulate the whole book in the whole theory and the whole philosophy and the whole cancer of the book otherwise why is it called the introductory page so in the introductory there's always encapsulated the whole story so but obviously abbreviated version but it's abbreviated enough that it's almost like when you look at that remind you of everything another for example for example I'll give you an example God commanded us men to we're seat seat I teach it now why do we exit eat first of the commandment and God says in the tolerant in a swallowing you see this man says worrisome Oh some right when you'll see them we cite them you'll remember all the midst out Wow 613 command 613 so tell me one person of cameras a look at the sitters and now tell me all the kiss 600 Commandments is that really what happened look closely enough there you go and so I but obviously God says Louisa Marie city and you'll see it skype them your wines of all the commandments I think on and finally one person it looks at and stop listing your whole six hundred and calamus the reality is it's not there but in the midst of Texas when you look at the cars captain that remind you of the theme and the essence of all the mid salt in other words what's the essence of all the midst vote you knows every single Mitzvah has as one ingredient of this in each Mitzvah what is the essence of ultimate sold in Hebrew it's called kabbalat all Malcolm I am which means accepting the yoke of God so every single Mitzvah that we do the essence of each mature is to accept the yoke of God on you so when you look at the midst of tutors reminds you of God and that's really the thing of all the midst phone just for example okay so let's go over to the introductory page in Kenya so the altar begins and he says you know the co tomorrow it's in a humble way he says he collected these writings and different thoughts etc and this is the first the first part because it's five parts of the tanya and he says the name of this book is called safer shall be known him safe is obeying him so actually you know a lot of you will know the name of Tanya as tanya and the reason why it's called tanya is because that's the the first in the first chapter he quotes a Mishnah Tanya Araiza and tanya is the first word near for the got the name Tanya but it's also very known it's also known as what name the safer the book of the bane no need now so in other words if it's known as the name Ben Oni in there in that word beynon me you have encapsulated the essence of the whole Tanya so we're going to talk today about the Boehner knee we like an English very I'm happy you asked that question oh maybe get your handy today is Bailey actually means they know need right means what it means the middle the middle in other words in other words in other words let's see for example is a for example you have half as birthday today so we're giving our cake right so you can say give me a big piece or give me a small piece or give me an intermediate piece intermediate piece so it's not big it's not small it's in between vein only Boehner so if he says this is called the book of the Bailey so what does that mean there are big people and there are small people and there's intermediate people and this is the book in the community is ever someone stole the wrong luck or someone short but it's called the safer sylvania it's called a safer sylvanie so vainly of what is it physical height what a spiritual item so there's obviously three categories of people in terms of our again as we discussed last week our spiritual human being you have like this you have it Saavik you have a banal knee and you over russia vainly can be stuck anywhere but in this case is a topic which static i'll translate means a righteous man you have a bane only you have a Tony which means an intermediate man and you have walk you have Russia which is a wicked man now so in order to really understand what bane only is you got no italic and rushes in other words certain things you can define what it is ok this is a topic this is a Russia what does it Bailey so you really know what a tonic is a Russia is to know what a B&E is so generally speaking it's what a sonic mean he's a righteous man what is the righteous man he does Smits dedicated to God he doesn't have any flaws he's got he aches is a hundred every test sonic hundred right what a russia ace is a zero on a retest and he's proud of it what's the baining if that's the case the guy gets a 50 it's 50 of passing are gonna curve very good depends on the curve so the outer I be cut so to order to really understand what the definition of a meaning is and what the definition of atomic is and what the definition of russia is we're going to introduce you to you the outer rebbes definition of who we are that will make us either by definition at sabic or by definition of russia or by definition of enemy now this system of a test it no to this system this system the way they alter with the filings at sonic a Russia and a B&E this system is unique it was the originator of this was the alter rebbe the whole mysticism is based on this and it's its blueprint for the description of this is in the book of Tanya and that's why tanya is known as the book the written book of the law of the world of mysticism why because here the author introduces the most profound description of how you define a sonic totally different than you would commence think how you define a bane of me and how you define a russia now this this definition is extremely important because you're going to find out who you really are and isn't the biggest gift to know who you are we go through life sometimes somebody that we don't know who we are here you're going to find out who you are whatever you are whatever you are it's great to lease know you who you are then you can work then you can go further forward but if you don't know who you are how can you do anything the Feldman's having Wi-Fi so just leave I've got it let's find out you be the judge as we say okay okay so what is atomic what is a Boehner knee and what is a Russia so in order to understand this we're going to have to deal with a few concepts and then we're going to put it together to come with a description of what I'm dick mania rushes so the altar of explains like this and again when we go through each chapter we're going to learn in depth you know what it is but i'm giving you obviously based on the introductory page we're giving you a blueprint overall of what we discussed in each chapter at lanton in tremendous detail so the author of excess like this every single human being God created a body which we all see the body that's the physical part but because we see it it's only the reveal part of who we are but God gave us within us a part of him that that's obviously not as course of the body and it's something which is called never allocate which refers to what the godly soul and nefesh of Muhammad the animal soul now what is an effort to locate two ones you know what does an episode of get an official oak it basically means a nefesh it's basically your spiritual engine that is allocated which is godly what does that mean it's godly so let's focus in on the godly soul the godly soul is in the pure sense it's got me mean to say is it only sees good things godly things also want to do is pray and study Torah and doom its vote and make the world a better place it doesn't hear negativity gossip doesn't even enter its world it doesn't rush in her totally flies over nothing to flies in and flies out it totally passes over just once in the will of God exactly just wants do the will of God and does the will of God and those the will of god that is what an official look it is by definition in the same time let's move that to the side we each have a nemsa Bahamut now what is in ephrata Bahamut nefesh means a soul Mohammed animal now what is an animal soul mean animal soul does not mean a bad soul god forbid animal does not zero negativity it just basically animalistic by nature what does that mean it what does it mean eminence a laser its wants to survive you want to eat it wants a drink it wants to sleep it wants to basically take care of itself it wants to survive now if we didn't have the animal soul we wouldn't be living because we have no drive to eat no dog to sleep no drive to be successful so the nephron of Muhammad is like a neutral soul that just basically wants to wants to survive now the reality is the national kiss notice bahamas are really even though there are two beautiful engines they're going in two different ways neff is okays rather sit in the study for an extra hour and then average of bahamas rather let's see watch TV again that bad doesn't mean he's going to go out wants to kill somebody we're not talking about someone that's you know dude wants do terrible things just talking about a drive that once this live you know go to play a game not bad necessarily it could be bad things too it's a drive so here you have the struggle between what we teen natural gas endeavors bahamas and basically the root of all problems that we have is this conflict between the godly saw on the animal soul then let's do de volar issues knows we just have a godly soul life would be wonderful if we just had an animal so life will be wonderful to wouldn't be any guilt right also wonderful the problem is we have these two forces within us and each one of these forces wants to in the driver's seat it's like I always say you have a car with one with one steering wheel and give two drivers and each one a draw is now what is the goal the goal is not to got to bid smother or restrict the animal soul goals are stick to inspire it and educated that it should also want godliness another was inspired the animal sold the same thrill that you get from surviving get a greater thrill from having a relationship with God so in other words the godly soul didn't come down to this world to be elevated the Kali Souls godly the reason why the godly Souls here is to educate and inspire the animal soul to do good things and as when you want to do a mitzvah right and you inspire to do it the galley cells naturally inspired so if you really inspire you have an opposition that means the animal soul for some reason getting excited and now now you're home run but it is that position within you to do it what's the opposition the animal soul the animal solves the opposition so you can find it but now you have the fight fighting is not good or what could you do try to educate it with passion with warm and with love inspire it to do what good do good things now so someone can ask the question what does that mean life is a war the answer is it is a war it is a warbird sign it's not negative and it's a witch war but it's not negative another words like this in other words like this no I understand but the point I'm making is it's a war but it's not a negative or so for example for you can view it that way you can view it that way and then it's going to be a struggle but let's say for example have to educate a child whether it's your child or a student whatever maybe you can view it you're you know the mean that you and the students are there's enemies here you can have a hard time educating the kids a very easy probably won't be able to educate the kids but if you view the kid as a beautiful child and you're here you were entrusted with him to educate them guess what you're going to come from a place of love the child will feel the love and will allow you naturally to mentor him an educator man and you'll both grow from it you'll learn patience you learn how you don't have to deal with a child the child will gladly eat up everything that you're saying so in other words the the struggle between the ganas only animal souls not it's it shouldn't leave you gone through it as a fight and something negative on the contrary it's something which is beautiful and something very very positive now so we spoke about the nefesh a locator in ephrata behind let's put this on the shelf for a second and we'll get back to it absolutely let's get so that's one area that we with one piece of the puzzle let's go on to the next piece of the puzzle as we know from the other classes we studied you have intellect you have emotions you have actions and these are all part of our Tennessee wrote but then there's something and here's the important part which I can't ignore today then there's something which is called garments what's a garment what's a guard by definition so take for example if you walk into the hospital and there's a doctor there doctor so what do you see single any doctors outfit white uniform you see for example the trash man he's wearing this type of uniform you go into a bank they're wearing their uniform whatever industry you're in they usually wear that type of uniform now a doctor I went to school for let's say 10 12 years were ever meant two years he went to go to school to medical school to become a doctor and he comes out of school to give him his diploma he puts on his white coat and he comes shows up at his office and he's ready to pay to see patients or do a surgery now what do you see a doctor what happens if somebody never went to school and puts on the garments and it's ready to the surgery Obamacare various no Pollock's so is the guy doctor or not is the guy a doctor or not but he looks like a doctor he looks like a back i'm watching them wearing a disguise he's uh huh let me ask or something yes let's say the doctor shows up to work one day and he forgets the he forgets to would get dressed and he's wearing his pajamas they were at home he walks into the office but if you a doctor now doctor let me ask you a question if you if you if you were the patient coming to get surgery and you give a look the doctor supposed to operate on you and he's wearing pajamas how you gonna feel we're not philosophizing you're walking in there you ready to get surgery when you pick up your eyes oh my gosh this guy's operating you see a doctor your first reaction if your first reaction is what's going on here I have a secret to tell you yes in the operating room the green scrubs that they wear look like the Jones okay good point good point I'm from my experience of it as another what do I basically you have patience okay one second hold on what's my point what's my point my point my point at the point of the analogies like this my point of the nalgene as follows when someone's wearing garments how do you judge somebody we judge people by the way they dress give me so the doctor comes dressed with doctor comes dressed in his white suit you feel comfortable he doesn't now you're nervous someone that never went there had an education shows up in the white suit and you don't know they just have an education are you going to think he's a doctor you gotta think he's a doctor but why you go because garments are extremely important now the realities we all know a guy that went to medical school puts on a wide wide arvind the doctors garment he's not he is not capable operating on you but he looks like he is he looks like he is yeah one second what's my point they point this like this according to mysticism garments are extremely important not that it's everything sure you need to have a godly soul and you have your intellect emotions but we're talking right now by the garments garments are a extremely important important but be be more importantly more importantly what we just see from the example that you don't have to be adapted to put on a doctor's garments I'm not saying you should go practice that's my point I also i'm saying is you do not have to be a doctor to we're doctors garments and your halloween and you will still give the impression that you're a doctor and manifold e doctors do that they dress up no one asked questions he looks like a back there okay what's the point the point is like this Kabbalah teaches us that we each have three spiritual garments three spiritual Gardens what are the three spiritual garments that we can basically take off and put on their cold I'll say it in Hebrew and I'll translate mock chevaux de Bourgh and my son what is my java de berault mysa thought speech nice and sound and actually yeah thought speech in action what does that mean what does that mean that means like this mark shabba means your thoughts now there is one distinction routine like shava thought and be Burmeister speech and action is that your thought you're always thinking if I tell you right now what do you think you might say nothing you like everyone's thinking about something the question is what are you thinking about she always thinking however however one second however because it's a garment each other because thoughts thoughts not intellect thoughts are a garment what does that mean you could put on any garment whether you have the degree or you don't have the green you can put it on you can put you know you can put any thought in your thoughts right now what do you believe it don't believe it agree with it don't agree with it feel it or don't feel it because what's a thought it's a garment a sauna it's not an actor component doctors jacket a doctor put on pajamas or planning trash man's a suit that's what a garment is by definition so you can think any thought you want let's do the other two will come back and explain all three together speech is also a garment you could say things which are true not true you believe you don't believe you feel you don't feel you agree you don't agree with make sense doesn't make sense it's just a garment it just words that come out of your mouth and you could say anything you want actions are the same thing to you can do things you agree with or don't agree with you can do things you wanna do you don't want to do you can do things you feels right or you don't feels right it's basically just like it's a garment so that applies to sort speech and action comes along the outer ever and the optimum says and this is basically a in Hebrew it's called a kiddush in English it's called a revolution revolutionary breakthrough in spiritual growth and development and awareness and that is the whole world judges Saavik russia good bad wicked cut all this they judge it based on what what level the persons act doctor says no no I don't care what level the persons act my only concern is one thing garments garments that means that means we're the right ones where the right garments bingo my only concern is that you should be wearing nice garments I'm not saying you shouldn't work on your inside make a disclaimer I'm not saying you shouldn't work in your an inside you have to work in your inside we're not talking about right now what the complete person we're talking about in terms of creating a human being which will soon see why the algebra says this is so important the others that I am only concerned about one thing what's the one thing I want your thoughts your thoughts to be what one hundred percent pure holy kind generous compassionate and all the beautiful attributes I want what comes out of your mouth to be beautiful kind generous compassionate anything beautiful anything on a positive accolade actions I want all your actions to be done right nice kind generous so you can say I don't believe in it I'm not asking you so what I'm asking you I am asking you to do put on ice garments you're in the mood you're not in the mood take the shower put on the nice government and you have no excuse to say I'm not holding by it because it's not a contradiction just like the non-doctor can put on a doctor's robe and the doctor can put appear for dramas you could put hog nice thoughts in your mind man you mind in your thoughts you can think nice thoughts you can think positive thoughts you can think optimistic thoughts you can talk inspiring thoughts positive thoughts hopeful thoughts your actions you've no du mich vote you're not in the mood you hate the person you can still hit give the guy charity you know grab a minus Friedman he once spoke for us here so he says how do you know someone's Jewish say he gave this analogy he said like this that some guy comes knocking on a rich man's door and he knocks on the door which meant opens the door and he says to him how can I help you he says I have no money I need money have to go pay my rent they have to go feed my family he says then I you loser get yourself a job what he calling her and they taking from other people's money it's a terrorist he starts walking away calls him back and takes that money and gives it to him he says that to Jew he didn't want to give him because he believed the guy should get a job but he'll still given the money we're not going to Ava's he shouldn't have insulted him he just bring at the point that at the end of the days are drew he's in the mood he's not the mood to do it he'll do the right thing that's a real Jew in other words we as much as we're not in the mood and we think it's wrong but will still support a course even though we don't agree with it why because the thoughts got to be beautiful the speech got a beautiful the action is too beautiful so comes along the altar but he says like this a topic and she gives the definition of a sadak what's at sonic based on this description of never shuttle kid snippets of Muhammad and the garments eight sound thing is somebody that is never a little kid his godly soul is I'm fired to do what God wants his animal so also is trained totally trains it will only do what God wants from a net from a soul perspective so he has a twin engine an episode kit narito Bahamas both engines lined up they only want to do godly things and anything it's not godly doesn't that doesn't fit it doesn't register for sure automatically if you have the National of customers Bahamas lined up just to be godly so it's obvious that the thought speech in action all going to be holy and godly by definition by default that's one extreme what is the rush on the other hand who runs his life the difference Bahamut he does whatever he wants when he wants where he wants just whatever he wants national kiss of sleeping he got him trained don't bother me dear for his thoughts speech and action up one hundred percent whatever he wants to do not wholly and whenever ever he's holding two extremes now that Saavik that's a very high level that's a high level to be able to transform your animal soul need should have no interest in anything in this world other than god that's a high level now we should all the spot we should all aspire to get there and we've got until eventually all get there but it's a very high level the russia is obviously a low level and that's an easy place to go just do whatever the animal so once you know you're there so we're are most people and here comes the outside when he makes a distinction he says like this where most people he says most people are considered the Boehner knee what does it mean depending every single minute every single second to some people I breed our every day every day it's a constant battle constant battle between an official Gaston of the Bahamas literally constant something it's really really agitating sometimes it's a little more dormant but the boggle is always there one second the struggle is always there the godly show wants to study and pray and do more and more and more Moyes on fire and the animals are on my on let me go ahead right it's a constant struggle however however in reality what soup does the mainly always where he wears italic suit so inside he's a struggling Jew but the suit is he putting on he puts on the doctor suit he wants to be a doctor he said he didn't get his degree yet but he comes and puts on this thing and he's excited writing why he wants to do everything the same thing most of the Boehner knee the Boehner knee he's not the topic it's not real by him yet he still has a big animal soul to deal with and it's bothering him and ran Singh him and to struggle and he's tormented at times however however the difference is he behaves like atomic yeah what does that mean every one of his thoughts are holy even though the bait the animal souls trying to throw a negative thoughts and that person you heard of that person said I only think positive thoughts pushes it out right away push in other words it's trying to entice it to get a more track to think to think about things you shouldn't be thinking about I don't want to hear it I only think are positive things it's the italic doesn't even doesn't even register that he has to push it out because the animal souls totally transforms but because the Bailey has an animal soul so it does register for a second but I'm not thinking about no I don't want to hear this stuff I don't talk question hora I don't get about with fights I don't get involved with any crazy stuff I don't get about with a negativity I I'm a good land so the what happens and what has the animal saw Helen what are you talking about you know you've been like good correct but I'm not letting it take over my garment my garment that have control over its not real control I can choose to put it on I do believe I don't believe I'm not holding I know I'm not holding the it I'm gonna put that on my thoughts are all gonna be wholly kind and godly and beautiful my speech even though I wanted really atonic has no reason or interest in telling somebody off all right also not i wanna be nice and Clank everybody and loving etc but to bailey need the animal soul wants to tell that person off right tell him what you really think he might want to tell him and it might be an urge and might someone else I'm person to do it comes bottom line nothing's coming out of my lips are not kind godly holy so he doesn't have full control of the inside no but he has a full control the outside and that's all we care about it's not trying outside garments are 107 full control his speech 100% full control action oh my gosh let's go ahead and take care this guy absolutely not we might want to but that's where it starts or ends by the wanting doesn't go past there so in other words in other words here lies the real person because in a certain way at sabic is really almost like an angel and so I was a Russia like an angel angel in the good in the bad the Bailey is the average person so Bailey means not only is he vainly in between the tonic in Russia but the other was saying mainly that's the average person mainly means it's the average person in this world the average person in the world is torn I wanted you want to be good you want to be godly and the other hand you know you want enjoy a life too not bad you just want to enjoy life we're not talking doing something bad to show that but you have this urge to listen what's wrong with a little gossip a little gas i'll come on i worked hard all day right you know i needed i'll even loosen up a little bit that's great keep it in your wanting don't think any gossip don't talk gossip don't do it and that's the difference because once you start putting on the garments of what the russia you're going down a slippery slope obviously you'd love to transform the animal soul but you don't pound to do it so the altima rights say fair shall be known them this is the book of what of this intermediate guy now once you know this once you know this right this gives you tremendous clarity in a lot of things number one is number one is your clarity yourself and also Clary really understand many people like you see people struggle with certain things you know they say they don't really believe it right and they don't really mean it when they say that so if you don't know this you would say yeah you're right they don't mean it I'm not listening to a person you and even for yourself yeah you know I don't really mean this why am I doing this so you certainly you get you get personally if it's about yourself you get despondent and what other people you lose faith in other people because they had the guy said he's really wants to be a nice person but look he's it's not really coming from his heart so if you didn't learn Tonya you would have this judgment about all these people and about yourself but yourself and other people so you wouldn't be able to hand like a real relationship with people once you learn this what do you what do you learn it's the biggest breakthrough in life you realize that it's not about really how you feel and believe that's a life long struggle that we have and the other person has so why would you judge somebody based on something that they don't have control over they didn't have control over and they probably will never have control over just like we don't have control over it we're not angels just being human they're being human but on the other hand did they say good morning did they show up boom home run to the outer of shift to hold it in perspective he takes off this whole he takes it the whole weight from you nobody's trying to flatter you because that is the truth the truth is that we are people that are not inspired always and not only are we now in safari times we're inspired some nice to do not such good things neutral or bad things gods but even but at the end of the day is let me ask you a simple question did the person do it no the person say hello to you yes he's not judging exactly exactly so don't judge other people and don't judge yourself off why should you doubt yourself bottom line is you say good morning to the person okay I mean nobody knows you no one knows your thoughts but are you thoughts kind of nice keep it that way perfect nose another thing this let's see for example somebody is in first grade so what do you expect from them to do the work on the first grader you don't expect for our first graders do work on fifth grader or fifth grade do a 10th grader every grade is age-appropriate so age-appropriate for each and every one of us for our whole life from where born until we die is what take control of your thought speech and action as long as you control your thoughts speaks in action irrelevant if it's deal with the passion of the motivation and the animals and the godly the animal soul is totally transformed we're okay with that so the minute you do this guess what happens to yourself oh my gosh or am i beating myself up everyone's like this now this doesn't mean to be complacent and I try to work in yourself you have to work on yourself but don't be hard on yourself bottom line is you got up today took a the kids the house is not a normal you want to work you a nice to people you did a great job what you want inspired okay we said you have to be inspired always and you said you're going to be inspiring away always fine you want to work in yourself pray a little study a little do an extra Mitzvah try to you know try to get yourself involved a little more excited about Judaism or excited about life about God fine work on it but just because you're not there you're never going to get there and doesn't mean you should feel bad you know what you know what you are right now you've accomplished tremendous what your compost is that you're able to control and they wrecked that your thoughts are always with a nice garment your speech is with a proper talk your action is proper in other words the play out practically a practical example the one of the foundations of Judaism and foundations of mysticism not a contradiction same thing is that we are to be happy people a matter of fact the Torah tells us all the problems all is all the problems that we have and all the issues that we have comes from one thing because we're not happy we're not happy now I'm not talking a happiness that's induced by a bottle of alcohol or something external I'm talking a pure happiness happiness just because so Tony tells us all the issues of being not happy comes from one thing all these that we have is when we're not happy in other words if we're happy life is great we have no problems right now there's two parts to happiness there's really feeling happy from within and the second part what's the garment of happiness what's the suit right they put on your suit of happiness what is that what is that a good sign okay well what's your suit of happiness package for liquor what's your suitor happiness what's the garment of happiness he's a dancing costume pretty good pretty good closer but keep it simple a nice smile ah a nice smile yea networks let me ask you a question like this did you made my day well let me ask you question like this let's say you're not in the mood of smartlink you're unhappy and for looking good reasons that pretty relevant you have your reasons why you're unhappy and you don't walk around with a smile could I tell you listen stop are you doing you ready put on a smile you can do that absolutely there's even exercising you put a pen in your mouth and it's four and it like creates a smile facing you become happy right what's the point the point is that true there's two parts of happiness while it's really feeling happy whether it's from something external or internal obviously the goal to me from internal but the garment of being happy is putting on a smile so in other words what would the bein in the outlook on happiness what's the bane the outlet very simple are you smiling so therefore just like positive thoughts positive speech positive action right godly thoughts reach it you can 100 and do it for the in the mood in that you can put on the smaller you in the moon in that you're not only would have been happy no problem don't be don't be happy but please fill out the soil right and guess what you can put it on you can put it on your kid comes downstairs right he's ready to go to school and here's on a smile so what do you tell the kid hey you took a shower this morning sure you got dressed sure go back and put on a smile before you leave the house but I'm not in a good mood that's fine but go put on the small guess what they laugh and they put on the soil you don't have to be internally happy to put on the smile you're not I mean you don't smile because you're happier right let you smile ok so in other words so what does the app that was the author of the city he says like this that to really be a Boehner knee to be a Boehner mean you would think oh my gosh to big struggle right it's a big struggle the autumn said oh no it's not a struggle it's not if I tell you transform your animal soul that's hard work you might be successful you might not be certain days yes certainly is not and it's a lot of work I'm not going to that but one thing I'm going for and it's non-negotiable thought speech in action the smile and he bases on a versatile Wednesday in the personal don't run into the bottom it says key carve a lot harder annoyed this thing is very close to you to do right be fecal a bill vodka last I saw with your now the heart and action which makes you talking to thoughts thoughts feature in action and he says I'm going to explain to you in this book in this book of Tanya how to do it but I'm gonna explain to you how it's close to you to do it how it's very close to you to do it like it's not a problem it's very easy you just go ahead and do the right you can do the right thing but he says I'm an explain to do it but I'm telling you as an introduction I'm going to explain to you how to do it and he says but there're iruku Oh Katara I man explained going to do it in something which is called the longshore way now what does it mean the long short way so another explain to you ready in a long shore way he could have said I'm explain to you in a short way he got his having spraying to in a long way right he could have said I'm explained to you in a short long way but out of the four he picked long short way so what does it mean I'm explaining to you in a long short way so this famous story in the Talmud with rabbi kotler mere shua banker Manya in the attractive irvin the a fifty-fifty third page the first side of the page that's the story I'm sorry sugar honey selling this there were three people together better mean in life the graboid he says he was what a woman child and he's one day I was traveling I was a fork in the road and I want to know how to get to the city so the child is I said them how do you get to the city so the child standing by the for playing playing says to him well that is the short long way and that is the long short way kid tells of them he thinks themselves short long long short well this is short long so channels showed I'm gonna go the short long way sure enough he goes short way and within minutes guess what he already sees the city he's thrilled I was really short but now there's mud and the storms and is the obstacles disaster getting off dirty turns around goes the other way tries the other way up the hill down the hill oh my gosh when it's going to windy when it's gonna end and as he's thinking that bingo he's there so the first way he showed up he got there right away but he can't get through the other way was up the hill down a long Haruko was long but eventually got there so the outfits are like this there's two ways to work on yourself and transform yourself that you thought some speech and action could be you know perfect and everything else will be discussed in chania one weighs a short way I inspire you might smoke summers so you get excited Judaism right 101 you get excited and then what happens after the excitement but right Dobson's no i don't think that approach because the short approach anything that comes quick eventually it's very very long because the if you're inspired from raw inspiration you don't have this after inspiration goes away the whole things out however if you're willing to do the work and you're willing to put in the time and the effort and the meditation and the studying and the learning and working on yourself it's long but eventually when you get there now you're there except there's no going back here he arrives you arrived so the ultimate says my approach is a room hooked error in other words you're not going to find big inspiration yeah I'm not saying all the inspiration but the goal is really teaching method and a system to be able to transform yourself in a very very simple way and the other would finish off the last line he says the A's are Chinese burger now what is the easier chemise burger clean and this is extremely important that sort of speakers closing statement what's his closing statement the acer hashem is boring with the help of god what does that mean that means i guess what happens is when you're trying to do you know spiritual work whether it's through prayer and study and mitzvot etc so what's the goal the goal is to be a referring you a link but we all know let's say when you do a good workout you feel great now once you feel great you know what happen you feel great and it's good to feel great but anything front I got it I got it I know it already all and then you stop put you know going backwards and those in English it's called failure by success failure by success he's successful I've know anything anymore and guess what you keep your eyes closed and so on up before you know you all the way back in other words what the doctor was saying is it's hard work but know that whatever your accomplish things with the help of a Shem and don't be arrogant the thing oh I did it because if you did it you're going to stop but if it's within helpless them you keep on going not only that when you do there are times in the struggle where it's going to be hard let's see for example there are times you know since your animal soul is still on fire there are times when you do want it you know some negative thoughts want to creep in and you really want to think about it right and you don't the strength to push it out and it's going to bother you if you don't really analyze it or for example if you don't really you want to tell the person off I mean feel like enough already you know like the expression Hebrew my spec I got to tell the person off right and it is real struggle but you know the minute you tell the person off guess what now you just put on dirty garments or you want to go do something not necessarily so nice not so evil but palace are you so nice so it's a real fight do I just get it out of my system in this way I'm done but you know bottom line is the minute you do that all the only thing you really accomplished was you took off your white garment and put on the dirty garment so right now you're in a dirty space I you have to tell the person but it's not apart from the other person my concern really is where are you right now you allowed yourself to become tainted oh so the port where's the person find the strength so he says but azar half-chinese borrow you have to take in this journey just like for example you were taking a journey in the in the in the you're taking a hike a 10-mile hike are you gonna go without water I thinking on that water your native the hydrated she always have to have water with you he says in your journey of spiritual growth we're trying to maintain a strength to be able to go all the way and to be able to you know overcome the obstacles take God with you and this way there's times you might have to pull the you know the red the string and like in the train you know the emergency stop button you might have to say oh my gosh help me and you might have to have you might have to pull the idea of faith or hope that it's going to work out and that will keep you going the arrogance is from the ego thinks it can do it without God's help correct correct correct so the bar what's the box and we're finishing off that in this journey which is a real journey it's a real struggle to a to know who you are and to keep yourself so to speak with the white garments on you need to have tikva you need to have hope and the way to have that you hold God with you and whatever you're doing you're doing with the help of a semans long as you doing with help of a son you can do anything you know anything and everything right
