Likutei Moharan Shiur at Scheiner's Shul with Rav Yoeli Klein - Torah 4 Part 4

I'm recording when you're okay. So, let's start again. Toy dalled. We are more than halfway through. Uh we'll see if maybe even we can finish it today. If not, not. Um so, for Kazar, I'm going to try to start not try I'm going to start kind of in the middle like a midpoint because I feel like that it hinges the toy very nicely. Uh from what we learned last week, was saying last week that there's four elements in the world. There's inanimate vegetation and just animal and human beings. All of them have attributes that can fall into negative places. So he says like rocks inanimate objects have laziness and depression in human beings it can manifest like that is desires it's like always moving all over the place is just wastefulness it's just like chilling out doing nothing and which sometimes leads to har and human beings have this capability of being full full of themselves being so he says that all four of these things you have to take care of you have to destroy them if You want to come to the path of kadusha. How do you do that? So he says the first two are destroyed with seeing the face of the tadik. When you come to see the all of a sudden your laziness, your depression and your desires are all wiped out. We spoke last week how it all comes from the same source of trying to fill the inner void when you when you when you deal with these things. But he gave the example of both that when you see your mother a little child isn't gone, he's all tired. He sees his mother, he jumps. He's filled with all his desires. He's doing everything in the sandbox. He sees his mother. He jumps. He runs. So too when we see that all of our laziness and all of our desires just like get thrown to the wayside and we run. He says that's the uh that's the first level that gets rid of those two. Then are just and those two are destroyed by giving. So we were trying to explain that a person that's bala that that's in that headsp space. It's not that he's a BGA that that he's he's he's basically the only person that exists in the world. I was learning this this week with the image that came up was you have like a mountain of people of human beings of a of a pyramid of people and Abala in his world view is the king at the top of that peak. He's sitting on a throne all the way in the top and the whole of humanity is underneath him. Now how he how he can make that up? So he has to put that one down like this. He has to speak lear about that guy like that. He has to weave a whole world view the whole day. He's he's handling and judging and making all these things in order that he should be on the top. He's safe cuz really he's the only person that exists in the world. He doesn't need anyone. He's the king and that's it. So obviously it's a psychotic life to live but we all have that in it in it infects every single person to a certain extent. We all kind of view ourselves like that. He says by giving sodaka to the which means when we were trying to explain it means that you recognize when you give you recognize that there's other people in the world that there's other people that are struggling that need so so I was learning it this week so and and to recognize that there's a is a next level meaning very nice there's poor people okay I'll give them but you recognize And there's people underneath you and there's people on top of you also. Yeah. You recognize shalom. Shalom. We'll get to it. We'll get to it. Yeah. Two is four during the week. says that when you say the other says you didn't come together they always have to fight but there's love because when you hug your hearts you know the other side of the heart they touching so over here you're saying that that is that you should recognize there's someone on top of you that there's there's a world that's above you and there's the world that's underneath you. You recognize that there is a world outside of yourself. And you don't have to be like a little like uh kind of like an 8-year-old child sitting. I'm the biggest. I'm the greatest. You could be on the bottom. You could be sitting on the bottom of the hill there. There's thousands of people all over and you're fine. You're safe. You're comfortable. that he says when you give to the when you kind of open yourself up to recognize that there's more to to the world than just you and your part and you know like the Gmorra says that the poverty is a gala that it's something that spins around you give sudaka now you'll never know if you need sedaka nowadays with all the uh the digital campaigns you find that this is a matas you know like the guy calls you up he's like you know you know I gave to your campaign last week your son yes you know have like the all these campaigns all day and everyone's trying to give kids that the ver is that you recognize there's other people around you there's a world around you and the third level was he says after all that you destroyed your your you destroyed all those those but now you don't know where to go so now he says you have to go to you have to you have to give that's where we're going to continue the the speaking out your your heart in front of that helps you to uh to know the pathways where to go from from now on. And uh like we were saying, these could be also parts of your soul that when you recognize the first level is to see the is to see that you have an issue that doesn't have any problems, doesn't need anything. It's perfect and beautiful and amazing. Once you come in contact with that, it destroys your laziness and destroys your desires. And then you have to give to that which means you have to integrate and recognize that it that both parts of you the body and the soul are all mamish reality of one being that needs to deal with each other. And the third level would be to speak one to the other so that you have that open line of communication so that you know now where to go. Now we're up to um test. So this happens every time you come to the and you speak out your heart in front of the this happens every single time. So first of all he says which is a amazing thing that doesn't have to be in rush kipper in front of the biggest in the world. Every time you do this process of trying to speak your heart out like you say in breast of a little bit is also good. So it it does something and is also I think he again this is a toy that's where you could learn out from every word of is teaching us what vid is right vid a lot of times you you you feel you you hear that it seems like this big form formidable kipper thing you know like ah shamu but vid is really just speaking out your heart which is also a hard thing to do because our hearts are very often very uh very safe. They're they try they try to keep themselves from feeling anything. They have thick, you know, safe room, the flat walls uh 2 m thick. You can't feel anything. So when you try to speak out your heart, your heart's like, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. We're not speaking anything out. We're good. We're very safe." We said that there's a difference, right? Right. We tried to speak before he says at Right. Right. Right. The same the same that you are choosing to give to Dhaka because we're putting in both the same. Yeah. Yeah. It sounds like it's all the same, right? I was using the the Yeah. Yeah. Because we said he knows how the and all this help. Correct. It sounds like that. Although I was trying to say the other that is is the the aspect of working things through which is very true. But now the next line he says this is not like you said not a rashiva that could give a good sheer cl. He's talking about someone on the level of he's on the level of no nothingness or as Ra Jacobson says no thingness just nothing to say meaning to say nothing we think of we try to think of black or boredom or quietness no thing is literally zero there is no existence ion means nothing but on a level that we have a hard time even conceptualizing right right I understand about what it means Ah, so what does it mean? This means that's on the highest levels, the highest to highest levels. I again it's worth it to delve into why he keeps calling him when this seems to be the biggest in the world, you know, but no because he was explaining the sense that the same gets into the bones. So he can make the for the combination of Right. Right. That's why you have to be right. Yeah. The over here is basically saying that he he is a pure manifestation of the Torah. We saw that he brought down the Gomorrah there where it says that the tip that that stand up in front of Torah they don't stand up in front of is an embodiment of the Torah itself and he like he said also over there with the mother he said that over there he did he used the lion of he used the lion of a there he used the [Music] uh yeah he used the lion of so it could be that it's very entertaining able over here could be very interchangeable. So over here he's saying that this is on level just starting is from get to the level higher than is place. So he says that through doing all this whole process of seeing the tadic getting seducted to the tadik and speaking out your heart before the tadic. So the tadic is he's holding in a place of in he's holding in an infinite place where he's unified everything in creation and he's he could you could say accolades for him and he won't be ages. He's ayat. So now when you go and do all of these three things and you speak out your heart in front of the just by speaking out your heart you don't you didn't do anything. You didn't find anything. You're you're you're subsumed in this place of iron. You get a little taste of it. You absorb yourself into it. One of the canellations, the trucks and the thrown back to where it came from. Now is going to go on to explain this whole thing of of the return of is the will of all wills. What's going on? we translate as kingship. So it sounds like someone that has power but he says that they're really it's brought down many times in is the words is the speech the letters of speech specifically the letters every single letter in the Hebrew alphabet has a different a different will that Hashem is expressing in the world through this thing called the letter through language Hashem wanted to express himself in a certain way to teach to give over a certain communication of his will. So he made a r he made an alif with the like that and it's almost like a picture that's giving over a a thing a message and we know from gimatrias that there's much more than that. all numerical values. And if you put the numerical values together, you find all sorts of amazing unifications. And then you can put all sorts of Sheamus and Isis and all the things that come out from from from the letters from the of the of the of Hashem. And that's all coming out to express Hashem's. Hashem is basically speaking and saying, "Hi, this is what I want. This is what's going on." We look at it usually as the Zara says the 613 mitzvah which are really 613 atas giving us advice how to live life what to do which is beautiful but it all stems from why because it's language what is language I was thinking this past week a lot like about language language doesn't have any real meaning and I'll give you a proof it sounds like language has a lot of meaning I'm speaking we're communicating we're connecting only to language right now but the haraya anyone who goes to Oman you go to the Ukraine and they're speaking gibberish and personally you don't I don't understand a word that they're saying besides for I don't know you know like they're just grunting to me they're not doing anything not saying anything but you don't have to have a big level of amuna to understand that that's not true because they have made a whole system of the Ukrainian language which in their world it means something means something to me it's just gibberish And when they come to us and they hear me speaking English, they're like, "This guy is just speaking this weird foreign language. Doesn't make any sense because language doesn't make any sense. It doesn't mean anything. Language, it's just we when babies, so to speak, when society was in the baby infancy, so they made up all these things to try to communicate to connect and we can make more more languages out of it. Have all sorts of college credits from languages. It's all just ways that we make up that yes means yeah, no means no. We make it up. That's all language. But the Hebrew language is not like that. It it is kind of because it it's not like that because it has an inherent meaning. But the inherent meaning wasn't given and made by human beings that want to come together. Inherent meaning was Hashem said alf gimmel and then bet sorry bet [Music] I don't know how many how many they have. So yeah, you have all these things that they they they're Hashem communicating to us. So they have a lot of inherent inherent meaning. And what is that inherent meaning which amazingly enough is Hashem communicating to us what he wants? All the letters are what he wants. That's what the Reb is saying over here is that everything is right. Right. That's what he's going to say. That's exactly what he's going to say. That's the whole the whole day the whole entire existence of physicality and everything that we experience is are these letters. Um comes out the wills. Each letter is a specific and distinct will. They're all revelations of what Hashem wants to reveal. His kingship. All of these wills, these these forms comes from one source of everything which is the infinite will of there there's no form there's no letter that you could say ohm and is really an no zero is what he says all existence of the worldis from these letters from these expressions of kingship existence comes from this wanting to express. He wanted to express his will in this world. who had the of his pure infinite essence and now he created all these different wills meaning letters and forms and all existence that we see that we experience they all get their energy from one source from I was going to bring a little source text so to speak a little amazing garamara that we we we speak about sometimes. Whenever you find the greatness of his revelation, his his will at the same place if you dig deep there, you'll find humility. You'll find that if you get to the source of all this bigness of a whole world then you come back to simple core of right that that all the letters I I heard this in the summer from Joey Rosenfeld that he said from I think from the that really the there is no olive bay olive is one bay is two olives gimmel is three olives is four olives it's really just all hashem hashem hashem hashm Hammashem. And if you string it out like that, it all comes back to that. All comes back to that. It's all just numerical values and obviously different manifestations of Hashem as he manifests. But when you put it all back together, it all folds back, right? Like if you, you know, folding clothing and it's all the same thing, it all folds back straight back into that olive. It's all just But we have a number. Correct. Correct. Okay. So either way, right? But in Yiddish 1 plus 1 equals 1ish n we're not getting so that's the idea the idea is that everything will come back to if everything come back to not one but a nothing for one um this is something that's the vesting of all corporality all physicality When you want to do this, you want to get into that space of you have to get rid of all existence. Speaks about when passed on. Anyone that's been that when it goes into when is going out is the highest time. It just keeps getting higher and higher. I was built and it's the time of it's the the highest will everything receives from that place would pass away in that moment because he gave up everything that he had he didn't have any existence nothing this goes on to explain how was the guy he was buried in which is place of right over here the translation every valley low place meaning humility will be lifted up so to speak just basically went and left the world into the he was always connected to but now he was able to just leave it and stay This is the core of all will which is just infinite essence. Anywhere where you see revelations will there you'll find was buried m against bar. Why was it called which was the name of a place? It was actually the name of of a disgusting that they would open their orus or orififices and you know defecate in front of these that was their worship. When a person messes up in malus because he's saying that malus is expressions of letters of expressions of words. So, like we said in the beginning of the Torah is that when a person sins said that the the permutations of the letters that have been messed up from the Tory that the Tory says it in a good way and he messed it up, they get etched in the person's bone in the bad way and it it damages the bone. And when a person speaks out those and says, "Ah, I did this thing. I did this and this and this." It it releases it from the bones. It fixes the the the core of the person. So he's saying over here is that that's what we said that opens up for these bad is the fixing of this is the rectification. So he was the kind of the sealing of that mouth that speaks bad permutations. It says bad things says that no person knew where is buried like we know nowadays we don't have the burial place ofu it says even didn't know where he was buried because he was totally subsumed in the how do we know how do we know that what he was buried that he was buried maybe he didn't died. Maybe he didn't die. I think the Torah says that he passed away. That he was he went. It says that al-Qaeda's brother buried him. I don't know. You have to look it up. Find out. We'll find out one day. But we don't know where he's buried. But he was buried. He took nothing with him. another Norwich, another wife, another children, nothing. I I would be I would be uh remiss to say I don't think anyone ever takes anything even a since Raenu. I don't think anyone's ever taken anything uh to the grave with them. Yeah. I think there was a very famous uh movie star that was buried with his his convertible or something. So, he took it with him, but I don't know what good it did. driving around there in the grave in a convertible. I don't know. Whatever. Yep. Take nothing with you. You come and you go. I always wanted to make a a film. I like doing films and making little uh clips and movies, but I never pursued it that much. But you know how they have these um time-lapse films that you can take an entire day in like 10 seconds, you know, and it takes clips and you just see it go see the sun rise, see the sun go down. So I wanted to make a time lapse of a life in 20 seconds and it goes just from a drop. You just see a drop and you see formation pop baby forming old and then it gets older older older then it goes back into the ground. Then you see it decaying decaying and it dies back to a drop. See that in 20 seconds. I think it would be I think it would be powerful just like that's where we are. We start from a drop. We end off as a drop. That's what we are. No one goes with anything. That's the when we we start off from the and we end off in the question is what we do in the middle and all the are revealing to us a little bit how to taste and to get back to the in this world because that's the whole point of it. We're in a world of coverings and gives us all these things to uncover it and to taste the insight a little bit within this journey that we're going through and it's now he's going to bring out this thing that this is all death of course in his lifetime he had a lot of times when he devested up physicality and he was I mean no one did it like 40 days and 40 nights for three times in one year without food, drinking and sleeping. I mean, who could who could say that they did that? Them fasted for years and years, but he did eat. He was human, you know, he did sleep for for 20 minutes, an hour. But he was the the king of this, so to speak, in in this world. But even so, the only way to do this in this world is to run and return. Or the very famous um idea in that wherever we go, we sometimes have good times, we run, we get then we fall back down or sometimes we come back down. Got to do that because this is that what the world is made out of. Wants us to be alive. He wants us to be in physicality. wants us to be in bodies. Wants he wants us in these places. He wants us to to be in these places and to to go out of the places but then to come back down to bring it in and to lift it up. Therefore wants us to continuously go back and forth back and forth from until and then we're again forever in the kind of switch gears a little bit in the middle of the paragraph here. At certain times a person's going to be ding and all of a sudden his whole world opens up and he's just pouring out his heart. Everything is open and he's just he's he's beyond he's totally totally in his just a compassion of a person. A lot of times in the you're just getting high you just think that you're a big but a person that experiences it understands that it's it's not like that. I'm not I'm not feeling anything. I'm just I'm like It's like flowing. I'm not I'm not like thinking anything. It's true. The second that you start thinking, "Wow, this is so high. Yeah, it's done." Right? The second that when you're crying over something, you start thinking, "Oh, I'm crying. It's over." You're not really crying anymore. It's finished. Right? A genuine cry. You're just crying. You're not thinking about crying. When you're in this space of of of you're not thinking, "Oh, wow. I'm in. You're flowing with it. It's just going. You're experiencing it. You're part of it." So that is it's a kind of he is allowing the insects to just wash straight through you and you're you're experiencing that when a person sees this even though he doesn't really see this. I don't I don't see something inside of you is seeing it and it's it's opening you up. take that's when all of a sudden you get this fire and this passion your is like insanely awesome and you just have this desire this infinite yearning for has got to say and it's funny that he's using of as long as the measure of this revelation because but when we experiencing it here it has a limit it lasts for 10 seconds for a minute for 10 So according to those words that opened up there was a bar whatever it was he'll say it with and he won't be able to even hold himself back from anything. I met someone was just telling me that he was by um this rough cook in fair. He was like describing his D for for like like he has to like get like teas and coffee in the middle of D cuz he will just faint cuz he's like so they like they give him like massages. He can spend like seven hours in you know person physically can't do that but he's he's so delicately he won't be able to hold back and his body will who knows what. So his his people like keep him alive so to speak. But his flowing in cipher a much higher level than than the average. But when we feel it sometimes we don't even know. We we don't even know what we're doing. All our at that moment. You don't know of yourself. You don't exist anymore. You're not like I'm a big and I'm yearning for the No, it's just like you're just you're there. You don't even know that you exist. No matter what you do, as long as you're in this world, it's constantly up and down, up and down. It goes up and down that you will continue to exist. There are people I think one of the four that went into the paradise that just connected to a very high place and he just separated remained there. Some people claim that Rabbar Kaplan who passed away a very young age and was tremendous tic and tremendous uh writer and unbelievable y that he would do a lot of meditation and he just meditated himself into a place upstairs and he just stayed there. So his his body just passed on and that was it. But we we obviously we're meant to be here like he said the what was the lesson we're meant to be in this world and as long as is still giving us life we're meant to take all of these in experiences and bring them back in. So that's what he's saying now that we're coming back we're flowing back. We were in this place of gosh. We were upstairs we didn't feel oursel we didn't feel others. We didn't feel anything. It was a flow. But then now we're coming back down. We're we're falling back down into the world to physicality and everything. We have to show this to our when we were in that place of connection. We didn't have any there was no knowledge whatsoever. There was no there was no formulation of words. There was now that you're coming back. So when a common person's coming back to his existence to all of the world of letters and of words and of experiences and of talking comes back into a world of knowledge. Somehow his das tastes this taste of where everything everything is one and everything is just good. Like we started off the person knows that every single thing is is good. This is like a taste of so this when we when we get to these places which again he said it comes through seeing the and speaking out your hearts in front of the when you come to these places then you're or when it comes sometimes just pours out. So you taste and you you you experience this place of where all of existence is just one. It's just pure perfect goodness. And now that when you're coming back down, so now you have all the world of oh my gosh, I have to pay the bills. Oh my gosh, I'm back to the mdas and back to everything. So now you have to be able to first of all say you you have a taste of it. You have a small taste that's still like a residue of in your mouth. There's no difference now to you between good and bad harsh judgments. Good judgments. is no difference in the between any difference. Distinctions only come from the different letters. You have different letters. You have the B the gimmel. All of these different letters have differences. But you were in the place of you didn't have any differences. Now you're coming back into the differences. You see that all of them like we said the is B is just alf. You saw how everything was just ku like a a kaleidoscope of olives of just Hashem. You just were able to see the whole of existence as being just olives all just Hashem and therefore everything was all good. So he's saying let me see where we're at. through this connection. There was no difference in over here. We see wants us to do this and he wants us to go here and he wants this and that. No, there's just one. He experienced that simple. He has an imprint in his in his essence that there is such a thing as just a just singular unity. This imprint somewhere deep in his being is now able to show something to the Das that it the Das itself also should know. And knowing is with all the craziness of of of numbers of differences and of harshness and everything that goes on in this world know that what everything is everything is all good and all one. This is what told his his generation when he was passing on begin to show to your hashem. is he's saying I'm showing to your right and his door that were connected to him like we were speaking that and he could illuminate into their this place of the will of all wills and The constrictions are all one. And like we were explaining in this tire in the beginning that to understand this on a very internal personal level is that we all have the same. We have a part inside of us that is that in itself is pure silent perfect fearless divinity. That's we we we exist in that. Now we have the other part that's everything else. gazillion things from thoughts to heart to physicality to desires everything. Now with this sh that that the Reb was speaking about that's what you're speaking about that you know first meet your soul your body and your soul should meet hello hi I'm body I'm soul hello give to each other means that we recognize that we're in this together you know we can make believe like we're not but we are we're here I have a body I have a soul let's get together let's try to make this work then to communicate that's how you make things work the body communicates to the soul you're beautiful soul you're amazing but I'm I'm filled with desire. I want to eat this whole box of donuts. The soul's like, "Wow, okay. Why? What's going on? What's happening, body?" Body's like, "Oh, I'm stressed out. I just What's up?" Oh, well, this and this and that. And they talk and they have this conversation. And when they have this conversation and it gets more and more until it breaks open and the and the body itself starts to like crack open all the things that it's going through, it begins to heal. begins to feel like all that stuff that was imprinted on his bones like like held down is being released and all of a sudden it gets this tremendous healing and this this tremendous freedom and it begins to shine and then then we get to this place that's saying that it's when you meet the when you meet your own soul inside of you where it's and the isl in the body it's they all of a sudden realized that there was no strain that we have inside of us is body also has inside and within every single physicality there was also a tremendous aura of Hashem. It's just that it was eclipsed it was covered. It was filled with fears and traumas and all the things that you covered over to not see it. Now that you have this conversation, this open communication all of a sudden it sees ah there was in all of it. There was in all the parts. Ah now all of a sudden Hashem all of a sudden you see that yeah okay this divine part that sometimes we're in and we're having this flow and everything that's godliness we we experience it we know it now then when they have this communication we have this connection all of a sudden they both they see that the body also sees ah I'm also part of this the soul illuminates the body the body illuminates the soul and they come together and they recognize that there's no shinoi there's just koi koi to to do these things and to be able to like the like where we started off today. The first line was this happens every single time. Said that every time you do this, you're driving in the car and you're on college road and you have 30 seconds and you just say, "Hem, I am so stressed out. I have so much going on. What this and this and this." All of a sudden it can open things up. 30 seconds you just opened up a little part. You feel connected. It happens every time. It's not a big tremendous thing you do. This comes out. It comes in every single time. Every single moment that you're able to just speak out your heart, it opens it up and connects and help to feel that and taste that even here. [Music] So, what's the shot? Your eyes are coming closing. So yeah, I have everything
