chapter 6 section 6.
yesterday's year the summation
the main point the some summary of what
we learned yesterday
was that the kiddush
the innovative contribution
of utes kislev
is the reality the mission statement the
calling
of your futsum
and your futsum spreading your
wellsprings
outward as mashiach told is referring of
course to tidah
the neshama of tyra the plymouth of tara
the mayan is the wellsprings of tara
it also refers to the jew to the people
because the jews the jewish people are
interconnected with torah
so when there's a hidden torah there's a
hadith in a jew
a real hidden terror creates that same
kiddish in the jewish stone the jewish
psyche
and and conversely a real hiddish
a real inner transformation revolution
in the jewish soul
is reflected in tata they mirror each
other because israel
is on the jewish people are one and the
same is true with you
that before you test kislev he says what
was more revealed
what was more expressed what was more
manifested was primarily
what we call the niggler of torah
the concreter the concrete part of tyra
in terms of
the background of allah the
understanding of
in all of its endless breath and depth
because you could spend not one lifetime
but eternity
learning that and that's called in
zaihar the goof of their eyes it's like
the guff
yutas kislev there was this heavenly
permission
as explained in the previous year
the balatanya was exonerated not only on
earth but in heaven
a license and an empowerment and a
schlichtas that now
the panemias of toyota could come out in
the most revealed and actualized fashion
because usually when we have the goof
the body the body is concrete and
tangible
the soul is intangible it's transcendent
even if we know it exists we never
capture its essence
only its reality we give the metaphor of
electricity
so what happens you test kiss love is
that even that nakuda
like the neshamer the eliza the premiere
was was uh
revealed that it can be manifested a
person could live with it a person can
grasp it
even with their limited mind of course
to a certain degree
and live with it and breathe it and
emote with it
and eat and spread it forth share it
with others
and flood ultimately the world with it
which is the preparation for the gula
when it says
its death the world will be filled with
divine awareness it's interesting the
rambam at the end of
malachi when he describes the time of
the mashiach
this is the last in the whole rambam and
the whole mission of terror
so he says
what is the whole world going to do when
moshiach comes what are they going to be
doing
he says there won't be asman there won't
be hunger there won't be war
there won't be jealousy there won't be
negative competitiveness
the good goodness
for goodness will be abundant all the
delicacies will be as
common as dust says entire world not
only the jewish people
he speaks about all of humanity and
maybe he even means the whole world
all the creatures of the world it's
going to be ladaz
hashem to know god divine awareness
divine connection das we know is
which is a euphemism for deep intimacy
this tradition today that in the summer
of tata
can come out and we can experience it
it happens not only in tata it first
happens in the jew
in the relationship of the neshama and
the guf there's two states of
consciousness
sometimes the two are completely
separated from each other one has no
relationship with their soul
that we're not mentioning here because
he's talking here about the development
of yiddishkeit
there are two states of consciousness in
the development of yiddishkai
and in yiddish there's a relation
between the soul and the body but the
first level of the relationship the
first state of consciousness is
that the soul rules the body the body
listens to the soul
the body is subservient to the soul the
body recognize that it must
really recognize that it must be under
the authority and dominion of the soul
the second state of consciousness is
that there is
synchronization there is unity in the
first state the body still experiences
itself as an autonomous independent
reality
however for whatever reason it
recognizes
the superiority of the soul and
therefore it obeys it
in the second state of consciousness
there's no conflict
the soul is so revealed that the body
experiences itself merely as a conduit
for the nashua
just like it's true in the biological
life of a human being
that it's not like the brain has to
command
all the limbs and say okay i want you to
do this and the limbs say
no i have another agenda but you know
what i'm going to obey my brain
that's not a healthy person the
relationship between the nefer shahiyun
is the biological
electricity and consciousness of a
person
and the physical body is one where they
are unified
they are integrated to the point that
the body is just a conduit
for the to facilitate the brain and the
mind
and and and and life and the forces of
life the energy of life
the same is true so this is the
relationship between the body and the
nephesh
the body and the biological soul the
animal soul the same is true with the
godly soul
that a jew recognizes that there's no
split there's a shaman one world and
there's a goof in another world
the neshama is spiritual and the goof is
physical and the question is
is there a relationship between them
it's a much deeper consciousness and
that is there's oneness
there's absolute harmony the neshama is
looking for vegas
the neshama wants intimacy with infinity
but how can
the will of hashem be experienced and
facilitated in this world how can i give
tzedakah if i don't have a goof
if i don't have a body how can i put on
filling how can i wear it citrus
how can i knead dough and make khala
how can i do any of the mitzvahs or most
of the mitzvahs if i don't have a goof
so the body is the one that serves as
the conduit
to fulfill the will of hashem here in
this world so the whole jew is a mishkan
the jew is a basa mikrtosh then ashama
and the guff the gopher is a conduit for
shahanti bisocham it's not that there's
an independent reality
called the goof which is physical which
is
sometimes filthy which is dirty which is
undesirable which is unworthy which is
the source of all problems
that's a more limited perception in a
grander and deeper consciousness
when the neshama is more revealed the
goof experiences itself
as part of it it's all part of infinity
it's all part
of divine oneness the goof is the best
it's the dwelling place
where the godly energy flow the godly
energy flows through
and as we discussed two models of
marriage
there's the model of marriage where the
husband and the wife essentially are
separate beings but they understand that
for the sake of peace
it's important to listen to each other
and follow each other
and and obey each other and fulfill the
other person's requests
a deeper level of marriage is how the
gemura describes shakansa isha
kanabyla that what the woman acquires
automatically the husband acquires
because there is a oneness what is his
is hers and what is hers
is therefore his it's not that she
agrees that she wants to submit it
that's automatically it's one
larger organism desire says a husband
and a wife are two halves of one
vahayu but that can only come with
complete
trust if one person is being exploited
by the other that's not oneness that's a
form of abuse that's a disrespect
it's never about exploitation i use your
vulnerability you surrender to me
and i use your vulnerability to control
you that's not what we're talking about
that's exploitation
only when there's an absolute trust when
a woman feels
that the husband is completely there for
her there is absolute trust he is
the ultimate nurturer and giver
there could be that level of submission
on both sides i truly trust you you
truly trust me
and even though we're two people and
we're supposed to do to be two people
and separate personalities and each one
brings in their own unique personality
into their marriage
but there is an akuda of absolute
harmony because there is such deep trust
and loyalty
hashem and the jewish people are like
the man and the woman
so there's a state of consciousness
where for shalom bias i say okay listen
god i want shalom bias i'm going to do
what you want a deeper level is my
concept it's not that i agree it's
automatic
what is mine what the issue is kinda is
the bowel is kind in other words a
person experiences
that everything i'm experiencing in my
body is just divine it's part of my
relationship with the divine it's in
order that the ancient scifi
should be manifested in the physical
world you need a body the body is the
best of hashem
the body is the channel and the conduit
through which the shrine
is revealed in the world there's no
conflict there's no dichotomy between
the spiritual and the physical
it's just two aspects of divine
revelation there's divine revelation
through the rookiness of the neshama
and there's divine revelation that comes
through the goof and even if a person
doesn't operate on that deep
consciousness of
the the husband-wife relationship he
said even the master servant
relationship
is similar to that mashakana khan rabbi
what the ever requires
is the rabbis that his master acquires
shiva
is revealed and how deep how deeply it's
revealed
because as i said yesterday
this all depends on how much the neshama
has revealed it's not just about the
goof it's about the neshama
it's not just about the crosses it's
about the deb it's not just about the
wife
it's about the husband it's not how much
the wife
becomes one with the husband it's how
much the husband has won with the wife
it works both ways it's a two-way street
for there to be oneness the reason that
my arm
my hand doesn't have a conflict with my
brain because
my brain is not exploiting my arm my
brain is completely
one with every organ of the body
there's the central nervous system that
integrates the entire body it's
one organism it's not like this
competition so if i have a piece of food
in my right arm
and i want to put it in my mouth i'm
going to go no no no this is mine this
doesn't go into the mouth sorry we have
to negotiate
we'll make a peace treaty you give up
something of the mouth and i'll give up
something of the arm
yeah that's called a person who's
completely ill khaswashalam that the
hand
can't connect to the mouth the hand
can't put the food into the mouth we
know what it's called it's called an
illness
it's called paralysis in a healthy
person
it's one organism every limb facilitates
it in a different way
in in in this deeper consciousness of
yiddish it's anointed
everything is divine but for this you
have to appreciate
that what hashem is in other hashem is
not some thing in heaven
trying to reward you or punish you it's
completely one there's complete oneness
harmony
because the love is infinite and the
love is absolute
and therefore there's nothing that can
come in between us just like in a
marriage
when the wife could feel and the husband
can feel that real
trust that tremendous trust to each
other
the loyalty the dedication um
he said in yiddish people say nemen is
loyalty
ge trishaft neman is faithful
right he says
and he said the eden's kite that is the
sincerity
the seriousness there's no cynicism in
the relationship
you know what cynicism is cynicism is a
form of alienation
cynicism is i'm not going to be a player
i'm going to be a spectator
cynicism is i stand on the side and i
want to see who's winning and then i'll
join
cynicism is i'm not inside because i
can't trust
i don't want to get hurt you understand
why are people cynical
they're cynical because they're afraid
of being backstabbed so i sit on the
sidelines
and i sit i eat potato chips or i eat
some french fries with ketchup
you know and i make a remark so some
people some
our whole lives are that way you know we
we stay outside it's a very protective
place and we understand why
it's retreating into a safe place
because of fear
or because of pain or because of
disappointment
so then i can't have this unity this
unity must come from trust
the goof has to be able to feel that the
neshama is not here to exploit it
that we're all mamish one then
when the shaman is revealed when the
nephilim kiss is revealed when allah
coos is revealed
never shallow kisses the the hergish of
a night mulvade of
hashem of oneness of hashem then the gov
says of course
there's no resistance because then i
feel who i really am what is the real
mohus of the gulf the essence of the guf
is
like he said it's not a separate reality
that's somehow
being manipulated to do jewish things or
being impressed or being forced or even
being persuaded
that's one state of consciousness there
is that state of country and we all go
through that mode just like in marriages
you go through that state as well
and it's an important thing don't be a
mavato
it keeps you away from trouble as i said
in the previous year
but in the deeper state when the when
the neshama comes out when there's a
deeper ghillie of the
deeper ghillie of volakus so then the
i assumes a much deeper identity
a much safer identity an expansive
identity
where it becomes part of the divine eye
these two states
are expressed in two concise
statements we have about avoiders hashem
one statement comes from pikavas pedic
based missionary base as he says in
footnote 31
the second statement comes from mishla
proverbs
gimmel the third chapter the first
statement in because is call my
all your deeds should be for the sake of
heaven the second statement
in all your ways you should know him
so usually we assume that it's saying
more or less the same thing all your
deeds should be for the shame shaman for
hashem
whatever you're doing whether you're
eating or you're sleeping or you're
drinking or you're making money
or you're hiking or you're going to the
gym to exercise or your personal trainer
is coming to you
or you're going for a treatment by the
chiropractor
or you're having a hot coffee in the
morning
you're going on vacation you're going
into the office
you're going to the cleaners you're
going to take a haircut
you're going out with the family you're
going to take a walk in the park call
massachusetts
that's one state another statement in
michele
in all your ways you should know him in
all your pathways every path of life you
should get to know him the
you did but here's an interesting thing
these two statements are brought to la
in rambam hills day is paid a gimmel
what which one should they bring first
not logically first you bring up then
you bring
so the reb explains because these are
the two states of consciousness
it's step one and step two
and each one is awesome each one is
gevaldic each one is a tremendous
step of spiritual and personal growth
but it's two states
of spiritual consciousness
because there is a difference between
these two states of avoidance
means that there is a purpose there is
meaning
that pervades all of my activities in
life
the kavanagh in maasaka in your deeds
and your actions and your activities and
your involvements
should be ultimately focused on truth
on ultimate purpose on the shame shaman
to serve hashem
but the actions themselves are called ma
they're your actions meaning they're
mundane
they're earthy they're bodily they're ma
the purpose there should be a deeper
purpose
in all your ways you should know him
what does it mean in all your ways you
should know him
wherever you're going every pathway in
life
can ultimately allow you
an opportunity to have a deeper
relationship with him
you can discover god and truth in every
aspect of your life
in every move you make in every breath
you take
and every pathway you tread
it's not you should have a purpose that
through this
you will come to the home no but
through them them through them they are
only an opportunity
for the hizgalos of akhta sasha
it's all part of enough
foreign
one could say that the way to connect to
god
is through mitzvos exclusively
in other words through kedusha through
things that are holy a jew learns
he knows hashem a jew does a mitzvah he
connects to hashem
yes as he says in footnote 44 tara
is god's wisdom god's revealed wisdom
and mitzvahs are his will
and hashem is one with his will and his
wisdom and therefore
when you grasp his will with the mitzvah
and you grasp his wisdom with tiger you
kiwayak will grasp him
so da you you know hashem you connect
hashem
remember das what's the ehu we said adam
yada eskhava
adam nukhawa and she gave birth yada is
a form of
intimacy oneness connection so you would
say
how do you come to das to the experience
to the oneness with the ribbon of shalom
only through learning turn and observing
mitzvahs and that's of course true
but you're going to tell me that when
i'm eating when i'm drinking
when i'm engaged in business affairs
when i'm engaged in any other pursuit in
life
he goes through the whole list that the
rambam lists and he'll say is peric
a list of ten things the ram discusses
there a person is walking
a person is getting dressed or dressed a
person is engaged in physical intimacy
in their marriage
a person is involved
with their health whatever a person is
involved in
in life that's not directly toyota and
mitzvahs
so i'm doing them it's putting on
filling i'm giving seduck i'm learning
toyota so
i'm not doing that this there's a lot
more a lot more in a person's day
whatever that is recreational
uh business related money related family
related personal related
yeah emotionally practically
psychologically
what does that have to do with god comes
the trainer and says
everything is divine energy god's love
in and infinity embraces all aspects of
your life
eurobash every aspect is just a
revelation of the
through every single thing in life you
can discover hashem
and discover a deeper relationship with
hashem in other words there's
nothing outside of the reality of
oneness
it's not like kedusha is in heaven and
here is the real world
and then once in a while i struggle and
i say okay let's now be a little holy
no you're missing you're missing the
boat
sometimes i'm in that state sometimes
there's conflict
sometimes there is deeper conflict
sometimes i really reach a place of calm
but means there's no conflict
there's no conflict godliness is
everything godliness is revealed
everywhere in every blade of grass
and every deer that's running around on
jay court and muncie or in my forests
here
in every raccoon and in every groundhog
in every tree and in every bush
in every shrub and every vegetable and
every fruit and in every droplet of rain
and every snowflake and every grain of
sand
in every heartbeat and in every blood
cell in every
atom and in every neutron and every star
and in every galaxy
writes
if we would have microscopic spiritual
eyes
we would look at the physical and what
would we see we would see divine energy
it's just my eyes detect the physical
matter
if you have more developed instruments
you don't just see physical matter you
see
a whole world of atoms that are moving
about within matter
if you would have even more refined
instruments and those are the
instruments of siddhis
the microscopic instruments of the
balshemptiv
which is really the microscopic
instruments of torah
is a torah what do you see you see it's
all spiritual energy
your body is not a grubby behemoth even
a grubby behemoth is not a grub
test even a grubby behemoth is not a
grub of behavior it's also
certainly a goof it's an
brother the goof unaiden
nobody can ever comprehend how precious
by hashem is the goof of a jew
remember once i was at a fabregan of the
laboratory i think it was 87.
i was a bakker a pretty young yeshiva
boy
and the rabbit told over us something he
heard from his father-in-law
and he started to cry when he said it he
said that he heard from his
father-in-law
that his his father knew that his father
did
once
open the sleeve of his shirt he pulled
up
the sleeve of his shirt so that the skin
the skin the epidermis of his hand was
exposed
and he said he pointed to his son he
pointed
he pointed to his hand to the skin he
touched the skin
and he pointed to it and he told his son
he called him by his name
jose vitzhak and he said
see how precious a goof is to lib them
for this goof hashem poured out so much
of today that mitchell
because so much of today mitzvahs is
about how the goof
how the body should be or should not be
what it should eat what it should not
eat what it should engage and what
should not engage in
yeah and when you understand what it is
so he says appreciate what this is it's
not a grab a bahama
and as i told you a grab ibrahim is also
not a grub of behemoth
it's also a a gilly of dwar hashem
means stop the conflict every single one
of your dirachim
every single one of your pathways is
just another opportunity to discover
ellicos
there's discovering ellicott in every
finger and every
fiber of your being and every bone and
every tissue
of course in every gene in every cell
and every neuron and every nerve
there's a lacus you can discover hashem
that you can get to know god from
anything you're involved in in life
including from a peach
or from an egg or from a plum or from a
grape or from a cup of water
so when you make a bracha barakata kenan
as we spoke in the women's shirt about
the gidhanasha with divine providence
shahakar everything came into existence
through his words
the cup of water is also near bitvare i
study a cup of water and i could see a
lacuse
and i could connect there's no conflict
everything in life is part of
infinite goodness and love and oneness
that's because it's two states call
massachusetts
there's focus there's purpose in your
life i'm involved in something i'm not
just involved in my work
for you know people are workaholics they
sit in the office 18 hours a day at
least pre-corona
and you ask why what there's a purpose
call ma
i want to make money so i should be able
to bring home money to my family
i don't get obsessed with the money i
need a car yes i need a car
because i have to transport my children
to school especially if you're in muncie
they can't walk on their own
i need a car to be able to function day
to day but you don't get obsessed in the
car
you don't get obsessed in your watch you
don't get obsessed in your suit you
don't get
cest in the office you don't get
obsessed in your money you don't lose
focus that's called it's a pretty big
deal
much of the literature of hashgaf
and already explained to us
life should be meaningful that a person
is a meaningful creature
and what's the ultimate purpose the
ultimate purpose is to serve hashem
what does that mean as he says i eat
and the intention of eating is not just
eating
because i'm a glutton
or even just i'm hungry but rather the
energy of the food is going to help me
learn and daven that's called
deeper than that it's not that the
eating is the shame shamayim
it's understanding that every physical
experience itself
is a conduit for kadusa the eating
itself
it's not just i'll eat i'll have energy
i won't be starving
so then i could go and sit down and
learning about gemara that's murdered
they called
me
he gives that example of eating because
that's such a uh
prominent and common activity in a
person's life that itself becomes a
mitzvah that itself becomes a conduit
for godly revelation
for example you're sitting at a mitzvah
this mitzvah the prayer taking in the
feast is a mitzvah it's a connection to
our shop
the meals of shabbos are sharpest the
food itself
is a mitzvah achilles when in basamitas
you would eat a carbon
that itself you were fulfilling a
mitzvah just like you're doing a mitzvah
putting on filling or giving to dhaka
learning toyota
they themselves are a mature
now take a look in footnote 35 star
you see 35 star
the a alder it's a it's a pretty long
footnote
i'm in a few lunges
it's a fascinating prairie blazer
fascinating
it says impartials told us
yitzchak sowed he planted he planted
grain
and hashem blessed him and he found
mayor sha'arim there was a lot of
abundance of produce
says the pirket rebels that's one of the
earliest madrashim it comes from rabbi
that's the teacher of rabbi akiva you're
talking here before the destruction the
end of the era of the sacrament
right after chapters
so he asks and these other words
he planted charity meaning what the
prick of the melissa is saying is
that he planted the grain and then when
the grain grew
he gave meister it says he gave my sir
and because he gave my sir he tithed
he tithed to the poor so this was struck
so the banner says
you think heaven forbid yitzhak sold
grain no
zarat's docker he planted dhaka
so that when he said when he spoke about
this
what's that you took his knowledge of
plant grain i don't understand
adam was put in the garden to toil the
garden
and new york planted a vineyard and
avraham avinu dug wells
and i remember who planted a tree in
berishawa and yitzhakovino dug
wells you know what a plant grain
planting grain became an aveda
what is this i don't understand
hashem told you it's of them to work
on them
so
six years you sow your field and six
years you prune your vineyard
and you gather the grain and then on the
seventh year is shabbos
we say every morning in krishna and in
the evening you said it this morning
right
i will give you rain
planting grain is prohibited i don't
understand
and if my children need bread so i plant
wheat i plant barley i pile
i plant spelt oats rye what's khas
meschalam
it says no planting brain became a new
easter egg
interesting no interesting question
and what does the mother would and
that's one diok but now let's try to
understand the main question but then
here's the real question
what does the piccadillism mean it says
in total that it's hook planted
and god blessed him and it grew so the
man says no no no he didn't plant the
grain he planted its docker really how
do you plant zucker
or he took his ducka pushkin he planted
it
he took dollars and he planted it what
did he do
they say an old joke
that there was a very wealthy man very
wealthy man
and he was about to die
so he called in some of his friends was
a
it's one of these jokes it's a priest
and a doctor
and a jewish lawyer and he said listen
i don't want to part for my money even
after i die
i'm giving you each i'm giving you each
twenty five thousand dollars in cash
you could take five thousand dollars for
yourself but twenty thousand dollars you
put in the grave
after i get buried
i wanna have my money okay what do they
care at least they're getting five
thousand grand
five thousand dollars okay the guy dies
is a funeral
the priest comes the doctor comes the
lawyer comes and afterwards they go out
for coffee
so they're discussing so you know the
doctor turns to the priest he said did
you follow the last will and test me she
says of course what am i going to lie to
god
i promised him of course i took five
thousand dollars
and i put twenty thousand dollars into
the grave wow
it's cash what about you doctor of
course i'm a faithful person
i took five thousand dollars and i put
the twenty thousand dollars cash into
the grave they turn to the jewish lawyer
what about you
he says listen i saw how much it meant
to him
to have the money i decided that he
deserves to have the whole 25
000 there the whole i didn't want to
take 5 000 for myself i wanted to give
him all the money so what did i do
i took the cash i wrote a check for 25
and i put it in the grave
what does it mean what does it mean to
plants dhaka how do you plant stucco
you put money into into the earth when
it grows money grows
you put a check into the earth it's not
growing and nobody is cashing it
what's shot
it doesn't mean that yitzhak didn't sow
grain
of course he did ain't me creating
himself says
we don't extricate the pastic from its
literal meaning
it says it that yitzhak sowed grain he
sowed grain
we're not arguing the pikachu the blood
doesn't have a problem with that
it says in humish we're not arguing with
khumash it means that richard is telling
you the pneumonias of it
when he sowed grain what was his
objective
so that he should be able to fill his
stomach up with carbs
for shalom no that he should even just
eat no
his objective was to bring goodness into
the world he wanted to give to dhaka
so when he was planting grain he wasn't
planting grain he was planting zidaka
that's because it's not he planted grain
but he thought you know what i have to
pay taxes to god so i should get ganedan
that's the first level by yitzhakovinu
that was the doggone there was no dug
under with sadaka how do you get stuck
it without dagger
tell me how do i give duck if i don't
have a hand how do i give duck if i
don't have money
how do i get stuck if i don't have grain
so it's not grain
it's a duck it's an opportunity to give
it stalker
then the summer wants devacus with ain't
scythe that's it
how do we give i want to give stock in
the world that's how i reveal god in
this world how do i do it
you need grain so the grain is not grain
the grain is just it's a conduit through
which the mitzvah of stucco can be
facilitated
the food is not food the food is a
conduit through which
godliness is also revealed through which
the body is nurtured which is also a
form of godliness
and the mandarin says khasra shalom
because
the others they were a chariot a merkava
what's american cover is a chariot
like a car like a horse like a wagon we
spoke many times with a merkavas it's
not that you got into your car
and the car says listen really i want to
go to borough park but if you want to go
to monday if you want to go to manhattan
i'll take you to manhattan
such a car you take to the mechanic the
car doesn't have an agenda the car says
i'm here for you you get on your horse
the horse says listen rabbi i have an
agenda really i want to go eat shaolin
today
and i have a kiddish and i have a bris
and i have a shower you really want to
go riding here i'll take you
no a good horse and a fia those of you
who know about horse riding know
about the kinship between the horse and
the horse rider some of you can talk
about this
better than i the horse says
he nanny i'm here you get on the horse
we go in other words the identity of the
horse a real horse sees itself as a
horse for the master
how others hating them are covered there
was no conflict the others
their home it seems their whole identity
was what a conduit
for divinity foreign scythe so the
madrid
m yitzhak reveals to dhaka north how do
you
have stuck you have tucker through
duncan now this comes from real trust
this comes from real trust
that god loves you infinitely and that
you are not separate you're never
separate
you're always one with the ultimate
truth of everything you're completely
one
there's no conflict in our perspective
of
symptom in our perceptiveness of
restrictions
we create dichotomies but that's just
because
the doors of our perception are not
cleansed but of the doors of perception
would be cleansed everything would
appear as is
an aspect of divine infinity
and love
there's a beautiful shot i want to saw
in the mission it says
that my love of kilimazar
if somebody is traveling and on the road
they're learning and then they stop
their learning they interrupt their
learning and they say this is a
beautiful tree this is a beautiful
landscape
the person is endangering their life and
the mafirshams say why
the person is learning even though they
stopped learning but they didn't stop
learning to do something destructive
they stopped learning in order to extol
the beauty of the tree of the landscape
in other words to praise hashem
we say every morning in davaning marabu
hashem
many of the chapters in tehillim that we
say in the morning hallelujah
right age
was doing this constantly in fact there
are brachaise there are blessings that
ghazal instituted
his brothers for different phenomena of
nature when you observe them you make
blessings
so if somebody is learning and walking
and then they see this
mountain or they see the yamaha god or
they see a certain type of animal
or they see another phenomenon of nature
and sometimes they have to stop to make
a bracha
the certainly even if they don't have to
but
why miss hayab nafsha why are they
endangering their life the
shot is it's one word in the mishnah
a person is learning he interrupts his
learning and he says this tree is
beautiful
the problem with this person is he
believes that to celebrate the beauty of
the tree he has to interrupt his
learning
he doesn't see it as a continuum of
toyota toyota exists in the basement
and in the real world you have trees and
you have landscapes
it's all taira because toyota is the
blueprint of the universe designer says
it's taco bell
you don't have to interrupt your tata to
be able to appreciate the tree it's a
continuum of torah
it's the way torah is manifested in the
concrete world it's not two separate
worlds
so my love of kingdom is this person
soul at this moment feels that it's cut
off from divinity you're never cut off
everything is an opportunity for
avoiders
you look at the grain what do you see
you don't see grain you see it's a duck
you don't just see a physical body
physical manner you just see a conduit
for divinity for spirituality
that's the preciousness and the dignity
with which you have to hold your body
and your soul and your existence and
everything you're involved in
these two states in yiddish
are really two states of consciousness
that are dependent
how deeply the neshama of a person
is manifested and revealed in
foreign
when a person's soul is revealed
in a way that it's
felt to some degree but you can say that
it's completely
revealed to the point that the guff can
really appreciate
that its entire entity its entire
identity is just a conduit for the soul
sometimes a person is aware that there
is a truth
of ruchniyus hashem exists
there's an ashama deep inside but the
goof says okay i get it
but i experience myself as an autonomous
reality and it's not about words it's
about experience it's about what
what is my inner perception so then
the gov says okay i'm ready to submit
i'm ready to be subservient that's the
lashem
in other words there is there there is
physicality
there is my second there's your
activities there's your life
it's just i'm ready to take my
activities
and submit them or surrender them
to samayam to the neshama
so therefore it's a tremendous
tremendous state
and and stat and and spiritual level in
life
that everything i'm involved in is
back to our marriage marshall the
husband
is really committed that kolmas
is the shame and the wife is committed
called
and in the metaphor of the marriage
there is there is loyalty
to his dedication and i realized
if this is something that means a lot to
my spouse yeah
for the sake of harmony and peace i
decide
i want to do it and the other party also
decides the same way
and this may be something that pervades
them constantly even if they make a
mistake
and everybody makes mistakes you
apologize and you get back
into repair and you come back hopefully
even stronger
but that's all in the model of yiddish
guy where there's two separate entities
i'm ready to submit one for the other in
the deeper place
when the neshama is truly revealed the
goof
sees itself as a conduit just like my
pinky
doesn't see itself in competition to the
brain it would be you know when i'm
going to listen to the brain
the brain said i should go like this
i'll do it for shalom bias that's not of
art
there's absolute oneness this is just
the facilitator of the brain there's one
organism it's one collective entity the
same is true in yiddish kite
night mulvade means there is oneness
the soul and the guru if it's all ain't
safe it's all the manifestation of
hashem in the world you are bashar
miguder
there's no two separate realities
there's no conflict here it's not even
the goof is going to submit to the
neshama the goof doesn't have to submit
the goof is
the guff then the summer accesses the
ancient
through the neshama and the goof
accesses the ancients life through grain
yitzhak is not sowing grain he's so it's
a docker yitzhak is
vegas everything is vegas you never go
away from dwakas
you never go away from vacations you're
never not
intimate with hashem you're always in a
state of vegas even when you're going
through something you're also in a state
of dvacus
that vegas is being expressed through
this channel now it's this avoider
that vegas now is being expressed that
we have to go pick the we have to go
harvest the cotton now we got to go
harvest the grain it's still
vegas
hook is not done you took his ain't safe
what does he took out with doug on
you took he doesn't have a dog on you
took ass with stalker
ah you took a sewing grain of course
what is the doggone the duggan is dwa
hashem the duggan is divine energy
and how is the divine energy of the
duggan expressed
in the realization that the world is one
so if i have doug and i want to share it
with somebody who needs it
that's what stuck is stuck is the
recognition of oneness
that's what love is
so who am i i'm an ambassador of love
and light and hope and healing i'm an
ambassador of hashem in the world which
part of me all of me
i'm always in the state of vegas
you're always in a state of oneness i am
going through now i'm in a mood bad mood
now i'm going through this now i have a
challenge now the
car broke down i have to run to the bank
after run to the lawyer this one has to
run to the doctor's office
i have to go through this i have an
appointment here i didn't do this i
failed my exam
yeah this stopped working okay
what what's talking it's not dog gun
it's all one it's the way hashem wants
you to serve him right now
right now you're serving him by by going
to the mechanic
it's also the ejo it's if you learn how
to fix a car
you learn a lot about godliness
there's no nikuda that you can't learn
from everything is is ah
everything you don't have to interrupt
today in order to be able to look at the
tree
don't cut yourself off from the vegas
now you'll say who you talking to where
you you live by this
no well you know we all fluctuate we
live in different perceptions but when
you learn this and you live with it you
breathe it in you think about it you
daven with it you meditate on it
and you practice it so that every person
has a chakra to this
this is the kiddish of yutas kislev that
the neshama
the pinemius the mayanos could come out
and the shaman could come out
so when the neshama is revealed when
there is the goof says i'm not your
competition
we're one when you the hair the beauty
the truth of energy there's no
competition anymore
when the husband and the wife recognize
the oneness of the other person
we're not separate it's not like
okay now i'll do this for you there's a
complete complete
trust and a complete dedication and a
complete loyalty mashakana isha kanabyla
but for this i have to be able to feel
your presence
you hear what i'm saying for this i have
to be able to feel your
presence if i can't feel your presence i
can't do this
because then i'm going to feel dejected
you know we did this marriage thing on
sunday so this thing came up you know
women were saying
you know i give and give and give and
give and give and give and give and i'm
just being exploited and abused
and and it's a very difficult challenge
because what's the difference between
giving
and being exploited
and the answer of course is
if there is a oneness if there is a
trust here
if there's a trust i'm giving i'm giving
and giving
but there is a there's there's a deep
kinship there's a deep unity
here you have to be aware of the other
person's
presence and intimacy and affection and
connection
the most important word is the
connection the belonging the attachment
so when the neshama is so revealed then
what happens
then you are avoided in the world and in
the gulf is not just the
shame shamayim it's the
meaning their their their end their
mathias is not
felt as a separate reality
it's just a part of hashem so therefore
with them and through them
you get to know hashem you get to
experience hashem
it's all part of aveda
we'll take a break here and we will
continue tomorrow morning
7 30 a.m blinder
and hopefully we'll be able to finish
the sikha
in honor of shabbos parshas vaishla
shabbas yutas kislev
so we'll continue tomorrow if zion
please

morning 7 30 a.m you can join us on zoom
or you can join us on
the yeshiva.net i'm going to take some
questions just to remind everybody that
matsuya shabbas
we have the big utes kisl of malava
it will be streamed live by azer hashem
on the yeshiva.net
and it will take place in the 10th 20
4shay road in muncie
7 30 pm and everybody is invited of
course
make sure you follow the guidelines of
health officials
cdc if there's khas vishal of any
concern concerning your health or
anybody else's health
please take all the precautions
necessary not just for this
fabregan but everything else let's take
some questions let me go
to uh chat
[Music]
um number one
you said that yuta's kislev of heaven
gave permission
to spread exodus and that's why the czar
exonerated the balatanya
and this is the concept of heaven giving
permission to reveal this part of today
how does this connect to yaakov sending
angels to asav
and the magic saying well we didn't get
to that yet we'll get to that at the end
okay i know kabbalah is not siddhas
exactly but they're related they're both
the premiers of toyota
you had for example the arizo you had
the ramak
you had the ramban you had rabbi abu
lafiya
you had its like
no you had the great cobalam yes
and other matches of satire were they
unaware of the teachings of siddhis was
it as a clarification of the
pre-existing kabbalah
for lower later generations well the two
are not
see this is an elucidation of kabbalah
there's no question about that
but also siddhis i think the
relationship between citizens and
kabbalah could be understood as they
will
have the relationship between
mathematics and physics
physics employs the language of
mathematics but physics is not
mathematics
know him in all your ways how does a
person
know hashem in all his ways if he's
doing a sin if he's doing in a veda
by knowing what not to do but he's doing
the wrong thing
and he hasn't learned what not to do
that's a good question
so first of all we could know hashem in
everything sometimes by knowing what not
to do in other words
this is also an opportunity for serving
hashem the gemara says
a person who abstains from a sin gets
the reward like he did a mitzvah
in other words not doing something is
also doing something it's also an act of
connecting to hashem
you get what i'm saying we spoke in our
cm of masaka's aravin that we learned
to see irvin the second part we spoke
about
how everything is really onerous
to hashem even those things hashem says
not to do that's also a relationship
that also belongs to hashem
over here hashem says i want you to stay
away from it
we once learned schwa as yesterday we
gave a shirt about kiva says alav hain
right even the negative is a way of
serving hashem
that's number one the gemara says
which is a very very surprising comment
what it means and the mafashim of the
shas
struggle with this one of the
explanations is how do you know him
through a sin
you don't know him through the sin
through the sin you distance yourself
from him
but every sin ultimately its objective
is to bring you to chuva
to bring you to a deeper repair the
gemara says in yuma pavov
that when we do chuvad of love our sins
are transformed into mitzvahs
because the sins ultimate purpose is to
bring you to a deeper connection
it's like a relationship when you go
through a struggle and it breaks
but if you have the courage and the
ability and the willingness on both
sides
to repair so then the repair could
sometimes bring you to a place
that's much deeper than the original
connection because the mistakes
themselves
turn out to be a catalyst and a learning
experience
to become a deeper person like when i
made a certain if i make a certain
mistake that affected my relationship
it gets it challenges me to get to know
myself
and go really into a deeper place and
find more authenticity in me and then
come back
into the connection from that place so
then what happens is i found god in the
mistake itself in other words
the ultimate divine purpose in the
mistake is revealed
and that's the deep godliness the spark
of god that's
embedded in the sin so khas fashion
person is not going to go do the sin but
if the person did it because they were
not in a state of
vacas ultimately the baltruva has the
courage and the power to go and
transform that itself
by revealing the divine purpose in it
what's the divine purpose in it
it's the divine spark that is embedded
even in the sin and what's the purpose
to bring you to a deeper place of
awareness to even a deeper the eu great
question
how perhaps achieving behalf of brings
one back
and helps revert oneself to a state
where kalma
and it becomes a continuously cycle
reinforcing it becomes a continually
cycling reinforcing itself circle
yes the
yes
okay so more ideas here people are
asking questions but we're going to see
as we conclude the sikha a lot of your
questions will be answered because it's
all going to become
it's all going to come back full circle
okay so i'll see you tomorrow morning
7 30 a.m everybody have a beautiful
unified integrated inspiring and
fulfilling day and remember
who you are
oh somebody wanted to say something
you cannot mute yourself if you want to
say something you cannot mute yourself
you've been seeing from antwerp shalom
allah have been seen from antwerp
