Kapital 123 getting out of Galus Part Four , Rabbi Yossi Paltiel - 5784

[Music] shal it's it's Thursday tomorrow is which is the day of the re it's also the day of the birth of the re father and um our schedule has been disrupted by many things uh most significantly our schedule has been disrupted by the fact that we made a new website that we launched but we're having a lot of technical trouble with uh uploading new classes and things of this sort so everything is onh hold I haven't put up classes for a while and I haven't put up the capital the pic and one of the most delightful pieces of music that reaches my ears is when I hear people complaining and I've got several complaints where's the capital which is for me very delightful for you I guess frust tring and I apologize about it but for this and other reasons I never completed the capital I gave three classes on the Capital One was a a longer class which basically overviewed all the different insights from the ma and the Capal and they s given two versions in other words to apply the pic to specific situations the first was Gus the second is cha and the third is again gas but a different type of gas this round this class on the mid is going to reflect I suppose more than anything else on this pic which he spoke when by was which is like or something like that and spoke about the capital went through all of toyra and came to how that pic speaks to his in which is the from gas going out of gas so we're going to learn cap about time and this time the focus the cap is going to be on the idea that you just to go to gas but not necessarily because gas is bad but be not because G is difficult but because Gus is inherently and essentially bad as we all know the famous where theb discusses the notion of and means that when a squeezed when he just get when he justed he's crushed reveals the deepest levels of the reveals so the says that there two there two there two there and accordingly there's two the first which is called in the where the Jewish people are suffering materially and spiritually because their lives are exhaustively difficult because of and the is crushed because of and the pain of the reveals the the mo and it comes out in the form of M but then the says you have after the nest of PM when the Jewish people are redeemed and relieved andet they find themselves in a very elevated situation except for one point that that the Jewish people find themselves still in G and then there's a from the very fact that the Jewish people are in Gus even if it's the most comfortable of all G because the explains in Thea that godliness needs to be revealed touches the to the very essence of the form of a Jew and since the fact that is not is reason enough for the fact isn't here is and as brings in that pic is not built in our time as if it was destroyed in our times and of course the is so careful to speak so the very fact that we're in Gus even if the G was very comfortable and even more it's possible that for this particular person there was no like it's brought down originally from the that there were certain was never destroyed and the example that's brought by never was a AAS and they're also inas they're inas like the explains in that that if godliness is revealed in a way that reflects by definition it's it's the same everywhere and if he's revealed in one place or in most places and he's not revealed in another place or even if it's a that's a proof that even the place where the is revealed it's not the highest Madre because if it were to be the highest mad then it would have to be all over universally the same revealed without any constraints and that's how we're going to be reading this page is crying out from but in contrast to the GS we talked about in the second she where the GS is terrible we're describing a gos which is wonderful materially and spiritually but the very fact that a y finds himself in Goos creates in the Y and therefore you have this notion as we explained in the classes of course based on what says in and and this of course is consistent with the idea that the brings last days last minutes of G still inos and there although still in there light in the G where the Jewish people live that's how it was when left and the explains that's how it is immediately before the coming of Messiah now I don't like to speak to current events because I'm not a Novi and I'm not the politician I'm not the military person but this year is a very very difficult year for the Jewish people and it's a year of great uncertainty for the Jewish people especially what's happened in the last week and a half or two where Iran got involved directly remember spoke about the now I I have no sources to confirm or to deny whatman said said but my herish is that he's saying the absolute truth that the from 33 literally 33 years ago that the said that and the spoke then that the the is revealed as a big confusion of the world and it involves particularly at that time the Reb explained that it meant Iraq and saying that now it means Iran but the the words that the Jewish people don't be afraid everything I'm doing I'm doing on your behalf and in if you look at things on the down to earth level it's very hard to know what tomorrow is going to bring but it's also true that we've seen the Miracles that the Jewish people have experienced in the last 6 months when they're fighting this war and Hashem should help them to give them the wisdom and the strength and the courage and the principle to finish this war cuz if they finish this war they'll never have to fight another one and if they don't finish this war then it's the same old story of but if you look at it at this particular moment in time this idea of is ringing quite true that is performing incredible miracles for the Jewish people he's just hoping that the Jewish people don't waste them don't squander them as they frequently do because of and of course you know and I know that if we had the test that the leaders of have we probably wouldn't be much better and much holier than them but what it takes right now to be a leader of the Jewish people is a is a Jewish strength which comes from the way way higher than and to see the Miracles that performing and to continue pursuing the path which ultimately brings shom not just for the Jewish people but even for the S is for everybody you have to see it through till the end but um as it relates to this pic that even when you find themselves in a gus but the Gus is comfortable and there's the Jewish people are comfortable in this Gus and there's many many miracles in this Gus but the mere fact that a y is in Gus makes a yid cry out that in other words you don't only want MH when things are difficult and hard and uncertain you cry out they need Mia even when things of comfortable because when a child is aband is abandoned by his his Exile from his father's table doesn't matter how comfortable he is he doesn't belong he belongs at his father's table and that's how reading this pic this how theb explained it when the spoke about it I think it was whatever the year it was theb spoke this pic in conjunction with the 122nd year of theab so let's learn it it's a song of ascent of uplifted so first of all it's a song of like says all the songs of song is and especially these songs that they connected to they're not connected to they connected to which is there 15 as we explained in the previous so what's the joy if you're so desperate in a dark gas in a GH which is to you very dark so the joy of course is the goul it's going to come after the gas and in addition there's the joy of bringing the that they named the way weer in by being the joy gives to reach so deep within himself to reach out such and the begins i r my eyes to you stop the points this out that you have to separate the word from the words because the moment you say you're contrasting and you're speaking about form and Order and levels and is above all of that is the next step raises up his eyes to the himself that's I explained to you in the first class at length there's a concept of sleeping which has to do with and and then there's a place of there's no sleep at all and in go there's a concept of a it's in contrast to if you will is lower and higher that says even in is lower than but is much much higher cuz a is in a state of Darkness there's a sleep in the world there a sleep and is so deeply hidden away you can't see it at all cries out from the place of Gus raising his eyes to the eye of the that that's not closed even when the closes his eyes even in when there a concept of this eye is open and the Y is reaching out with his eye to touch the ey and to create a an arousal from the to bring the and you could add if you will that this the best way to reach so deep into a person's self to be to rage up his eye his as the deepest levels of his to touch the eye is through and then we say I'm translating as he comes down and sits in the head and the truth of the matter is as you know when I teach my in the capital every later sh is better than the sh before because I've practiced I've done it already and um since I gave the last three classes we had other occasions to talk about it so the ideas sort of flush out as you go and one of the ideas which has become clearer and clearer based on how it's explained in by you read up his eyes to where even when he's hiding from the completely his eye is still open and we speak about the idea comes down into the that although we're reaching out to the so to speak which is which is connected to the the Simplicity of is crying out to the Simplicity of the the eye of the is touching the eye of which is Way Beyond you never speak about nevertheless speak about comes down into the concept of sh because in everything even in in other words that's what we do as individual people what we do in terms of our personal and individual relationships with the aish and as far as this is concerned the the personal and individual involvement of a with the we bring things down into order because we bring things down into our lives and that's the the sits in the heavens and has a relationship with the Earth in the kind of way where the Earth is beneath the heavens and the heavens is above the Earth and above the Earth doesn't just mean higher than the earth it means higher and in relationship with the Earth so the essence of the relationship between in terms of avoided this idea like the explains that there is the question is everywhere so why would you make referenced idea of and the makes several points in answering that question the first point makes answering that question is the idea that it says in the mishna this brings make a serpent understood himself to make the serpent that of and he put it on a nce on a high position it you look at it and you'll see it and you're going to be healed and you're going to be cured and so forth and so on so asked the question does the give life does the give death so the answer is of course is not is everywhere but in other words in our life that means to say the real truth is there's no place where he is not and his presence is not only everywhere presence everywhere the same but in terms of our life there is the heaven of our life and there's the Earth of our life there's the higher levels of our life and there's the lower levels of our life there's the parts of our lives where we're at peace with and there's parts of our lives where we're struggling with and the parts of our lives and the levels of Our Lives we're at peace is called the heaven within us and the place where we struggle is the AIT and that's the meaning of M MIM clapping my when a yid looks heavenward when a look y finds the best within himself so that's a healing and that's a cure so we point out that although the nature of the for the we want now as we sit in the of and the only issue is Jew is all together taken up for that he find himself in is not revealed in the whole world there's the way it plays down and plays out comes down to the level of and the has to remember they has to look to sh not because hm is in sh not in but because in a vo that's how it is a looks to the heavens a looks to his connection to the abish which is above him in other words that in addition to crying out to the for the there's the AV of redeeming ourselves so to speak of the personal that's reaching out to the this is one idea that brings the other idea that brings is this notion that say brought in so many your eyes have to be downcast if look at the ground that look look around but your heart has to be in the heavens meaning to say although when you DAV you're not looking at the world you're ideas that you're reaching up to the which is in the heavens and it's explained in this is the concept of there's a constant need for motion and the motion is the sign of life and the foundation of that motion which is the sign of life is tension is Duality is being pulled in two directions One Direction is that he has to serve Hashem in this world a of I have a job to do on the other hand his entire motivation is his connection to the has removed from this world and if you have one without the other if you have your eyes on the ground you don't have your heart in the heavens your eyes on the ground can fail in their Precision in making the if you have your heart in the heavens and you don't have your eyes on the ground so you may have a relationship with but since you're not serving him you're not giving him what it is that he expects from us there's a lack of submission lack of B on our part which undermines the like it says in at the end a person is forced to live and a person is forced to die so the re asks the question it's not the's original question If a person is forced to live he wants to not live if a person is forced to die that means he does want to live how could they both be forced and the answer is there's two drives there's a drive of the person personally which is to go away from this world wants to be and have nothing to do with this world which is called of heart is in the heavens but on the other hand he knows what wants of him puts him in this world do his part to do his piece of the part to do his this is called and that's the because you know what your mission is and you want to do it but there's a condition and the condition you to have both the desire to live to make a a desire to not live to come close to the that feed off each other the motivation to to do what we need to do in this world and serve hasem is a desire to be close to him and The credibility the truth of our desire to be close to the is are willing to serve him even at our own spiritual expense and that's all written in these two words the abish that comes down into the heavens first of all that we should look heavenward second of all that in there should be a concept of a heaven and an earth the concept of our desire to be close to which is represented by sh and a concept of going away from sh do we need to do on Earth which is the comes into this world and maybe in some ways that explains the extra that hasm is that the way I'm translating it now that he comes down into the heavens that he should not that this is permanent place his place is higher than sh he lowers himself to sh for the reasons we just outlined and we continue behold there was a slave and a maid servant who are the property of their master and their mistress they belong to them and they're treated like chatt they're treated like property they have no rights they have no dignity nothing that is their own but at the same time they're so vulnerable and they're so dependent that the only one they have to turn to is theirin and their who was the source of all of their misery so when you have an evid they turn to their Master even when the master beats him or her and pleads to Mercy now why would you plead to Mercy to the hand that's beating you and the answer is you have no other recourse you have no place else to look so a in G even if it's a comfortable G even it's a of even it's a Spoke all those times and especially since the collapse of the Soviet Union is literally almost place in the world reaches out he here or she is not reaching out from a place of strength from a place of worthiness he or she is not reaching out from a place of comfort but a place of desperation so we reach out and I want to translate these words is the same thing as in the first the way godliness is brought down into as I explained to in the earlier classes means our personal God the idea that there's a personal relationship between as they say at the weddings in the wrong time to the exclusion of all others so it's the last days of and is crying out to so he says although there is so you read the to you and not that's how transl reaches out to to the which is way above there's a station a state of and as a result the is raising up his eyes of Exile to the eyes of the that don't sleep in G and repeating it again here that although there is another kind of a relationship with a relationship based on he has come close to us and we are attempting to come close to him and some kind of intimacy sometimes the personal involvement and the says no now I reach out because of I do not afford myself to engage with in what we would call in our culture take away as represented by the words but rather rather than the idea but like we explained in the first part it's only the beginning that even if it's a go of cries out to the as a desperate Desir of the whole world and in that cry the a is reaching the ey of the so to speak which is much higher than and much higher than but everything has to come down to the m that Although our cry for comes from a very deep place in the and it touches a very deep place in but that cry is qualified that cry is personalized by other words in addition to crying out is our personal and our personal is the of making the hours in a p is di away and that's the second way to read it cries out to the highest levels that although we're reaching to the from the deepest place in ouring and that comes down is our personal God has a connection to us based on our own station and we finish with should give us and we say the word three times and you can translate the words in this way as well because me that undeserved gift but all of us know the famous which of course is cited in many you all know the first time was certainly we didn't deserve it who was the says it's in the first time around the came because we didn't deserve it but come through words we earn and that's we're going to be redeemed in because we're going to deserve it says no we went out of the first time without our own deservedness and this and we're going to experience comes in which is beyond our deservedness which is also going to be in this meaning is not disagreeing with he's adding says come because we're going to earn the G and sure doesn't disagree he simply says that we're not only going to get what we earn we're going to get more than we earn we're going to get what we deserve and more than we deserve and that's the and you can that into the also to the that we get based on our deserving in addition to the is a reward it's a culmination it's a graduation it's an end of the and which ised to which comes after does man but then there we get more than we earned more than we deserved go far beyond that's is something which is beyond what we deserve like I explained to you in the classes before based on that which you learned recently that there four translations of the word which is the same word as number one number two that us a place in this world that's what is not that a goes away from this world and becomes connected to finds for him a place in this world number three shows us a favoritism and a love and number four you get something you don't deserve at all it's a free gift and all of that's included in the words of so if you want to translate we cry out to the with a B but first of all we get back from the what we deserve and then we get more than we which is the and as explained in the previous classes based on the means a likening a liking of something which doesn't make sense and say there's three things that people like in an unreasonable way a person likes the place he lives even it doesn't deserve to be liked is a love for a spouse to his or her spouse even when it doesn't make sense there is a love of a purchase on he or she who purchased it in all these three cases there's value in where you live there's value in your spouse there's value and what you buy but means that you value it beyond that you value it beyond what it's really worth because it's yours you value your place you value your spouse and you value your purchases the Yen and their relationship with the abish that are the abish this place go to rest on every Jew every Jew is's resting place and that's why the P continues that since wants to have a place so although is a much higher because it's in that that's the first thing should find a gracious appeal or approach of himself to the Jewish people like number two spouse and although we deserve love because of because what have you as per the words should give us even more grace and the additional Grace has to do with the fact that we're and lastly so we cry out on the end of G even if it's a very comfortable G but the very fact that creates in us a desperate desire for the and we become in spite of whatever worthiness would have whatever deservedness would have whatever merits we have we ask on three levels and we answer we continue with a key why are we asking for these three why are we asking for why you not reaching out to but rather the answer is because we've suffered shame and here again there's three expressions of Shame number one we've been satiated a lot with shame number two we've been saded by a lot of Shame the mockery of sh of the complacent those who sit on the on the they're living in America their material lives are very good and they and they're able to sit and Give opinions how the Jewish people are supposed to live they make fun of the Jewish people for the place of and finally the shame that comes to us from there's many translations of including including people who would do including the fact that the Mak is directed towards which is called which is the place of and so on so there's three shames there's the shame of there's the shame and there's the shame of sh the say very little about what's the difference between these three shames the only thing I know for sure or pretty for sure is a sh is being made fun of by a rich fat lazy person K America he's not overworking himself he's not driving himself very hard but he's able to laugh at a the laughter that comes some on it so in the previous classes I suggested that one laughter is coming from the fact that we didn't do what we need to do the second laughter is coming from the fact that even if we did what we to do we're still being made fun of and the third laughter is like aik you know what the truth is and you laugh at a anyway that's how I suggested in the previous classes I had no source for it then I have no source for it now but perhaps we'll explain the of what called when a find himself in and the biggest issue is and the need for to be ashamed by those who scoff those who laugh at us and like like I mentioned in previous classes that the says Bas earlier the last generation in our generation the previous generation he was humbl Our Generations that's so the before I translated as the maker that comes from amik who uh who laughs at you even though he knows you're the truth who laughs at you who knows that what you're doing is am and he laughs just because he could just because he has no self-respect just because he's not even a Dal not even a d he's a rush like I explained in the previous classes but the perhaps you could connect this last which is connected the spoke which is now 123 years ago which is what we're experiencing right now M so the first is the we suffer and we're being made fun of because we're suffering the second laughing even though you know that what is doing is true and correct and right you laugh just because you could and this is in the first generation the first calls it they're laughing at and the second y they're keeping but theying and because of these three because these three voice asking three times to give us the not based on our own deservedness and worthiness but for the this is my fourth class on the capital now if I do a fifth class which I doubt I'll simply go back and translate it again but in the meantime for now this is it Mish now [Music]
