Okay.
Honor to be back here with everyone,
especially with Freed and back after a
long hiatus. Uh get back into to hey
over here in the Reb is
which means you can make on every single
letter and every single word which we're
going to try to do. It's rash. I was
just looking into the uh new miniuts
from Brussel research. Here's the plug.
And uh it turns out that this was set on
the first of the came close to the Reba
which is 1802. And it was basically 9
days 8 days after he met the Reb. So it
was definitely one of the first that he
heard from from
and he said his whole life he got a lot
of from this. I start
as we said before the rabbi he speaks
about the gives a and all at the end
usually I'll get back to that for now
we'll just put it on this side
[clears throat] and this in this uh
context I think they could learn
something maybe interesting from that
already in the first paragraph so
interestingly enough the we're going to
start off says
so let's read the first parag graph and
translate it and then we'll go back to
see a little bit uh maybe a little
deeper. Every person has to say that the
whole world wasn't created only for me.
>> It was all created for me, not for you,
for me. No,
it sounds like it could be a nice uh
narcissistic way of looking at things.
But still flips this in a second. He
says,
"When the world was created for me,
If if the world is created for me,
I have to look at all times how I can
fix the world and how I can fill the
world
for them. So in one second from being
this uh this uh idea of wow, you know,
the whole creation, everyone is all just
for me. Oh, it's all just for you. Yeah,
fix it. It's all just for you to do
what? To give. from being a taker. You
just flip the whole thing and say you
know how you're going to be alive in
this world if you give. And right here
you could put a period and that's the
entire now there's another three pages
another 800 words that are going on the
last two words
said for the world. So [clears throat]
now the Reb says what does it mean to
dav and then he goes on for like you
know a few pages what it means to davin
in this context but the whole crux of
the is right here. So we'll just see
here for a few more lines in this first
paragraph
comes out in two aspects
before any decrees are decreed upstairs
in so you could have you could just dive
in dive in straight. You don't have to
do anything. You don't have to make up
any uh any you don't have to dress up
anything. You just dive and say Hashem
this should happen like this. Please
help like that. Um
after there's a decree from so then you
can't just speak to Hashem and say just
you know change things
cuz once there's there's like this whole
barrier of of accusing angels that are
standing there and they don't let theas
up. They're like no noas are allowed to
go through. So therefore what are you
going to do? going to come to uh to
damage
destroying angels when there's a decree
you have to hide in a in a so to speak a
story let's say or a mush something like
that. [laughter]
So all of a sudden the sadikim they hide
their in in a story right there's a
famous the the 13 tales of the micius
where the reb came in one day and he
said to his he said I see that myas are
they're exalted they're amazing but
they're not doing anything they're not
changing you so I'm going to say stories
and tak stories are very powerful and we
see in general stories you know stories
have a way of entering into the heart
much quicker and much easier much more
deep than uh than hearing a lot of tyrus
So let's saying that this this was also
a specific specific time and place in in
Russia where there was the canthtonist
decrees that were coming out then and
Hascala was gaining meaning gaining
momentum and was trying to destroy
Yishkai and at the same time the Russian
authorities were taking Jewish children
at the age of five or eight and throwing
them into the army for 25 years
basically destroying their entire
Yiddish life and the Reb said already
with all these terrors that he was doing
that he was saying he was already
pushing off the gaz by some 20 25 years
which is what in the and happened that
it was pushed off for many many years.
But the the post is that that's what
that's what's going on. Now let's rewind
a little bit and get and get a little
deeper. You know the the the said
that one of the one of his or one of the
people that were in the Bish one time
came and said we always say this over
said over and he said some cute and a
vert and a and the Reb smiled and he
said ah very sweet very cute you could
twist my this way and twist it that way
but don't change
which is
that the breast of continued to somehow
keep
um I I want to give a ride to Israel
Orbach in my car and he saw a little and
he says ah breastl I said I'm trying he
said my father he liked breastl he
wasn't so friendly he wasn't so you know
connected to but he said he always
appreciated breasts he said you know why
because two things they dates and they
dates
and they keep they keep those two things
he always he always appreciated them so
I'm going to try to say some some things
that struck me in in these words from
within these words. But again, they're
they're my own that I I share and
hopefully they they uh they mean
something to you. Uh the first first is
that if you look in the Gmorra, so I
wrote it down a little bit here because
I'm not good at remembering things. The
Gmorra doesn't say
the says,
"So what's the difference between
and
has that heavy weight of your you know
your high school? You have to do this.
You have to do this. You have to do
this. And is it's something that's
needed. And the Reb does this a lot of
times. I've seen in different that he he
flips the Lion only very subtly to teach
us that not that you don't have to do
it, that you do have to do it, but that
when you have to do something, it's
because you need to do it. It's not
because there's some big principle
that's going to punish you if you don't
do it. It's because there's a reality, a
fabric of reality. And you know, you
could eat and sit on the couch and eat
chips all day. You're just going to get
fat and clog your heart up. So, you
know, you have that choice. You don't
have to exercise. You don't have to eat
healthy. But if you have a physical body
that you want it to be optimal, you
know, shape. So, then you try to do it
the way it could be done. So, Reb is
giving you always these things of these
things that you need. You need these for
your in you need this line over here.
That's the first dick that this is not
something that you have to do in the
sense you have to do it. It's something
that you need to do. So what do you need
to do? Now again if you read the garrab
just changed the whole gamarra which is
very very unique and the there's reasons
why he does these things. He's not just
doing it because you know he didn't have
the gar handy and he said the came out a
little off. Every word was was was like
like a like a razor. The Gomorrah says,
but she does say in a couple lines
before me the whole world was created.
Doesn't say that. He switches the whole
line.
So what's going on? Why is all of a
sudden like this alternate blush and
that he's a double negative the whole
world is not created only for me. So I
think just a very simple thing what
could mean is that we know is from a
hamm from concealment.
that the Reb is saying over here by
using this
and you have to be a little over here.
You have to put a comma over here where
there's no comma like the cop that pulls
you over and says no left turn. He said
no left turn. So
the whole world whole the whole
concealment of this creation that we're
living in right now it's not really
created it's not real. Why
only is also is a path path right? It's
only from our perspective from our world
where we're living our pathway where
we're we have our functioning eyes and
heart and mind. So we see a world that's
filled with concealment. It's just all
concealment. I don't see Hashem
anywhere. Where do you see Hashem? Where
do you touch Hashem? Where is he? So
that's what he's saying. He's saying the
whole world, this whole concealment is
not real from Hashem's perspective. He's
looking down at this whole creation
right here and he's just looking at it
and he just sees a he just sees pure
unity and oneness of everyone
everything. The only thing is is that we
perceive it from our perspective like
that. And that's why he says that you
have to recognize this just to see this
and just to recognize that's that's a
you have to have this perception that
all the darkness that we're in is not
actually real darkness is actually still
the unity of everywhere. Now he says
now he switches it back to the real if
the whole of all these all of these
concealments are actually just from my
perspective. So I have to see now what
to do. I have to see how to fix it. Now
the first the first uh the idea that
comes out from this is that what does it
mean to by the way just to just to pause
for a second here. I'm going to keep the
time on my watch here. Just to pause for
a second over here that this is a a
little vite maybe will say that I should
I should delete this part. If you look
back at a few of the last and you look
really the
like we said a lot of these are like two
or three lines long.
Okay. Now all of a sudden over here
he says
and he says
like as if I can't finish the it's only
two more words just say the last two
words
that hurt to say it and you have enough
space in the printers you can't say oh
that ink was so precious they could have
said the same thing over here so I think
one of the ideas is also the is saying
is trumpets is loud noises haru is
screams
is also before is that all of these
things that we hear that are loud,
there's something silent that's going on
inside all of this. All of this stuff
that we hear, the rash that's making us
in this world of concealment that we we
we just hear rash, we just see
dissonance and we see diversity and we
see so much stuff going on. If you have
very quiet, it says it's almost
whispering it. The Reb is whispering and
saying just remember it's all from here
from Hashem. All there is is the king.
All there is. So over here that he says
that now the next line over here where
he said that you know the whole tire
basically afterwards takes off on the on
the idea of but before that he says
I have to see I have to look deeply
gaze and
right learn and you have to learn your
life in
all times whether it's times of good
times of bad to fix the world
to fill the world
to pray for the world. So now there's
three things to fix to fill and to to
for the world. So now first of all you
see so you're like oh so the whole world
is on my shoulders now and I have to fix
the entire world. There's a lot of
people,
right? Tikkun is a big idea. You know, a
lot of people that love it. Like every
single, you know, new safer that's
coming out, they're like, "This is the
safer. It's bringing Msiah. That's it.
Everything's tuma.
We're still not with the tikk after all
the tikkums of everyone's tenum." We're
still sitting here. So, what what is the
Reb is saying that it's up to me. I have
to [clears throat] fix the world. Like,
what? That's pretty heavy stuff. I have
to fill the world. Like, putting a lot
on our shoulders. But we know there's a
there's a line in
actually says I think but the idea is
that in a place where there's no man
step up to the plate be the man right we
we just had a our suda after 90 days for
was the gaba and the rav and the mashia
and everything in in our sh and that was
what he was he he he was a person that
just he did everything he gave all the
shirum he spoke to people helped people
and he put away the farm and cleaned the
mikvah
But the there's more than that, right?
The breasts will say
means go out to the field. Where are you
going to become a man is in the field
when you do and it's quiet and you have
no distractions and no one's there. You
can scri scream out to Hashem. That's a
place where you can become a man. But
the de says something incredible. He
says
means in your head and in your heart. So
that there's a lot of things that you
could do in the world and a lot of stuff
that you could say and be involved in
and it's amazing but none of them are
going to do it. Shish inside deep
recesses of your heart in your head
that's the only place where you're going
to make it or break it. So then it
struck me. I said this about rehearsal.
He he used to drive the old cars all the
time and I would pass him by all the
time in the car and I'd be like, you
know, I'm like always like driving
alert. I see that guy wave. I see that
person, I wave. I give a guy a ride. And
he was like in his world like he never
noticed anything. And when he was
walking, I said you could say that
there's a you know, you're not supposed
to look outside of your dalas. In
Tadikim, we know that like mamish, they
never looked outside of the dollar. So
you could learn that again.
You have to do that. Don't look out of
your dollars. Who knows what you're
going to see. Or you could learn it.
What are you going to see? Nothing.
You'll never see anything that will help
you, right? Because in the end,
obviously, we have to reach out for help
and we have to look to our friends and
around the world to try to try to grow
and try to get the the we need. But in
the end of the day, with all the with
all this, with everything with going to
and knock and everything, the only place
that it's going to really take root is
inside your heart. in your head and
there you have to do the work and no one
in the world is able to do that work. So
when you look out there's no point if
you need to look out you should look out
but only to go back in so that you can
work on in that in that place inside and
then the next few words
then in that context
means that the comes from within
yourself. How am I supposed to fix the
world when I fix myself? When and if I
fix myself, when I work on myself and I
fix and change myself, then all of a
sudden, and anyone that's ever done this
in any level of mamish, real change
where you like something inside of you
shifts and you become a new person. So
the whole world around you all of a
sudden changes everything. You didn't do
anything, you didn't touch anyone, you
didn't speak to anyone, everything
changes. So that's the the idea of of
one on one level and another level is
that
what is the difference between tikun and
mala. So you have a car would be like a
car. So I got a car. So I have my bumper
is a little popped out of my car which
it is but it's fine. But if you have
other things that are broken you have to
fix them. You have to go to the the
mechanic. He's going to take the engine
and say this was worn out. This is
broken. of putting put them back
together. That's when pieces of a hole
are broken. You have to put them back
together in the proper way. The mal is
different. You have your gas tank and
it's push it empty. You know, you have
you have no gas left. So, there's
nothing to do with nothing fixing.
You're not fixing. You're not you have
to fill it. So, aid also at times when
we feel like we're stuck in the helm
when we're stuck in this world and we
don't see any any light coming through
it. So, we got to first I think how are
you going to fix that situation? how you
going to fix the broken pieces cuz
that's the only reason why you're
failing that. I think the first stage is
is
to fix it by filling it. What does it
mean? I was speaking to to a Rebi and he
was speaking about high school kids and
how you know they're not learning
properly. They're not learning well
enough. So I said honestly we got to
just make them healthy individuals. give
them strength and and all that stuff and
then it's Hashem hopefully they'll find
the place in the Torah that's to learn
on tish. I was once teaching a bunch of
students and I was like guys you know
it's user to learn on tishab they're
like really why I was like because it's
such sim goes rabbi for us it's m we're
we should learn the whole it's such
torture rabbi I said but it's it's user
so obviously there's something in the
that's that's m there's nothing in this
m I said wait just stop and think in
your entire life and I don't care if
it's a rebby or a vert anything you ever
had some moment that you were like wow
the guy's like thinking He's like,
"Well, I go to a kabad house and one
time at the kdish and I was having a
couple of drinks and some rabbi said
like a mimer or something and it was
pretty cool. It was like a really cool
thing in the party and it really struck
me. I was like beautiful. You just found
the that's
keep going after that. Every person has
the that's
that when you find that that's wherever
it is, right? I have a relative that
loves hearing that he's going to burn
and which levels of gene he's going to
burn and okay that's his he loves that
it gives him to me I'm like I'm now I'm
done goodbye [laughter]
I'm finished you what are you telling me
or what is that going to do to me but
every person has their just enliven them
and gives them you find that you begin
to fill the gas tank you begin to fill
up you're like yes there's something
here and that's nice it's beautiful it's
it's it's it's uh the first opening to
this place called connecting to and to
the world and you begin to see that wow
there is really goodness in this world
and you can feel it you can taste it and
it's incredible but the next stage is is
that you have to use that toyra and use
that inspiration use that to fix things
and that's a little bit more tricky that
means you have to go inside and apply
that to and you have to say oh here's a
about this and this inion of anger
depression or whatever, where is there a
part inside of me that this applies to?
Where does this
find resonance in my life in a real way,
right? In a real way that that it makes
a difference that that I feel it in my
bones. And a few a few days ago, someone
came over to me and he said to it was
like I was I was zonked. It was like
10:30 at night. I barely keep my eyes
open. I just made it to my I'm like just
going to dive in my
guy's like, "Ah, there's a bak here. He
needs some. You want to give him for 30
seconds quick give him. I was like
stop my like he doesn't really want like
I don't know you have to connect. I
didn't know what to say afterwards. I
was thinking about it. I was like one of
the things that need is so I should be
we all need that. like apparently I'm
not mazic that guy I'm myself in how can
I be mazic myself in one thing that
struck me the next morning was that
what's going on in your life imagine
that you before every ding you think not
the things that are like happening in
your life oh you know like I wish this
is going to happen and that thing
happened not like the details but the
stuff that that move you right the stuff
that like push you and shift you so much
that you're like you're like Ouch.
Sometimes, you know, like the things
that really hurt, that they hit you in
the gut. And you have those things every
day, whether it's from a a person or
from a wife or from something that just
happens. It kicks you in the gut. And
most of the times we're strong
individuals and we say, "Didn't hurt.
Keep going. I'm good. I'm good."
Do what you have to do to carry on. We
have a lot of survival techniques in our
in our in our psyche. But by gives you
the chance to say stop 30 seconds before
we think about where where that place
is. Where's that thing that touched your
heart right that moved you right? We say
has a
says that you should love the bad does
to you because if you know what you
really deserve. So it's being with a lot
of rah. But I think what the Reb is even
saying is also is more than just like oh
you have the you have bad and if you
know how bad you are you is saying also
like this he's saying the ra what is
raheshu is like yeah you're really bad
I'm going to p you but I'm going to p
you only a very light p because I don't
want to really p you so hard cuz doesn't
need to p you need to hit you. He
doesn't care about hitting you. All he
wants is you. All he wants is you to be
alive and connected to him which you
are. But to wake up and see that and to
break through all the barriers and to
come and feel and be totally connected
with that gives you the ra
because it's just a shift. It's a kick
in the gut to say, [snorts] "Oh, oh,
there's Hashem. Oh, there's something
more than just me and a perfect world."
Ah, okay. I remember that now. Okay.
Beautiful. Thank you, Hashem. I love
that. I love that wake up because it
gives you a little bit of a of a a
realignment in myself. Now to take that
that's the mean is you have a lot of you
have a lot of you have a lot of a lot of
um you have a lot of material of good
beautiful amazing lifting things now you
want to take it and that's taking it
inside your heart and saying okay where
am I applying where where does this
stuff apply to me and then is the
beautiful unity right the speaks a lot
about connecting to and the big breast
of right there's maharan and then
there's the road on each of the and if
you learn the really well and you say
the it's an incredible experience that
like you know this and then you start
pouring out your heart to be
but you could do that without ever
applying that to yourself. There's a
place in um
uh in the Muser movement where they have
this idea of his [laughter] where you
learn about an idea and the Muser
masters used to do his and all the Muser
masters used to do his but he used to do
it in a very unique way right there's a
famous story with I think or one of the
big masters that he was pacing in the
attic and the was listening and he was
saying you know
he just said the same for three and a
hours straight. What's the idea? The the
idea of of that is his file is that you
learn something, break it into your
bones. Only way it's going to get into
your heart is you break it into your
bones. You learn it really well, you
know it, you have it, and then break it
into your bones by repeating it and
repeating repeat
Amsterdam who was one of the the Mus. He
takes that and he adds right in the
middle over there, he adds one line. He
says he says, "Learn it really well and
then see where it applies inside your
life where it really kicks you in the
gut." And now Dav now do three hours of
his pilot on it. Now do 10 hours of his
buddas over a day a week for one moment.
Just keep saying look at this part
inside of me. It needs to be fixed. It's
so it's so raw. Please help me. This is
something that's by me and how am I
going to change it? And then when you
speak and you speak and you cry out it
it it begins to open up, right? We say
every day in we say it three times a day
means a bunch of stuff right can mean
three separate words. We had in last
week's para.
So apparently Asov wasn't saying can you
please pour the red lentil soup down my
throat. That's not how the learn it. He
says now pour it now down my throat. You
know that para before we have
now that was by Rifka Alzar is asking
her not now he's asking please can you
please give me water so you have please
and you have now and you have
that by the carbon you should not cook
the carbon raw so I think when you're
saying you have all three of those in
the same same moment
no right now this moment where I'm
holding right now please Please see
this. No is my raw my raw things, right?
We all have skin. We all have skin and
it's beautiful. Skin is incredible,
right? Cuz without the skin, our our
entire bodies would be falling all over
the place. But the skin is just it's
skin. And sometimes we make it all
patchkit and we make it all beautiful
and it's so nice and it's so gorgeous.
Oh wow. And we all ugle and ble over
skin. But in the end of the day, it's
it's barely anything. It's just a
covering of your skeleton and your
muscles and your heart and your liver
and all this kishkas and guts and all
this stuff that's really you. It's
really making your physical body tick.
The skin is a covering. So we all have
these coverings and we go about our life
mainly dealing with these coverings. But
we're saying for one moment in
see the parts that are painful is our
pain. No, that are raw that are peel
peel off the skin. Help us find these
places in our lives that are raw where
we get kicked in the gut where we feel
that but when we get to that place we
can take all the tires that we learn
that are inspiring and that give us a
lot of guidance in what life is all
about and then see how it applies into
our lives where it really matters and
then we have what to daven about boy do
we have what dav about that's the says
over here that's the you do all this
process and you bring all these pieces
together of learning and ding you bring
them together in a real way in your in
your in your life. So then you come to a
place of tikun which we said is the
inside of yourself and then all of a
sudden the whole world begins to look
much more fixed and much more unified in
the sense like we said in the beginning
that
there's not really a world of
concealment. just from my perspective.
And when we do this idea, these ideas
that are maybe alluded to in the Reb's
words, all of a sudden the world begins
to look much more uh much more bright.
Now uh the rest of the Torah is again
about this last thing of the two types
of felas. We'll get to that next week. I
want to hear a few a few words from
>> you said it all
>> about general
[clears throat]
first beautifully he gave me a really
good insight
but I just want to say another on on the
way he is saying
Reb says,
so the question is why do you have to
say it? You have to feel it. What is
what's what's this saying? You have to
say
why
what is this? What is this saying doing
for me? And like you asked the question
is beautiful that says it differently
and the is saying
the whole world was not created only for
me.
So if I remember correctly, I didn't
learn the I'm sorry, but I did not. My
head's in a different but if I remember
correctly, the Reb talks about
and that there's a ka how do you say ka
in English
there is structure structure, right? But
it's more than ka is more than a
structure. Ka is just like the body is
we we're called we are a kite. We have
we have a head, we have hands, we have
feet, we have all different parts of the
body that's all connected as a ka in
spirituality. So that's the physical
body that we have spiritually or
cababalistically there's a spiritual ka
>> foundation
>> no that's ka is ka it's there's an
existence I guess structure but I think
there's a better word frame yeah frame
maybe a frame the frame and said you you
are hitting hitting all the right spots
with it I'm [clears throat] not I'm want
to enhance what You're saying so
every person is a world. Every person,
every individual is a world. You see the
world one way. I see the world another
way. You see another. There are certain
common denominators that we have that we
can see. But the we're seeing the world.
And I'll tell you a I'll take you into a
real you want to go into a deep thought
that I have that I don't have clear and
I have no sources to it but it's just
we're going into hypothetical a little
bit is that the
who says that what we see is really the
common things that we see we see a table
we see a chair we see everything so we
define this as a table and a chair but
it's all because We were educated on the
same perception that this is a table,
this is a chair, this is a swarm, this
is and that's how we all see the lenses
of through the world and then we each
have our own journey through through the
world. But perhaps and this is what I
want to get to is that we are all our
own worlds. We really each person is a
world because everything what we see
about the world is coming from my
perception of the world.
So the Reb is telling us over here that
you have to recognize and then we all
all of a sudden become unloving we come
you know humble and we say what do you
mean I'm going to fix the world I'm
going to do no
put you on this world that says I forgot
in the or wherever it is [clears throat]
that you are in this world because you
have a purpose that no one else in the
world can fulfill. fulfill the purpose
that you could fulfill in this world.
And perhaps that is the message here.
The message the Reb is telling you
you have to because when you say it and
like you were saying it before, you're
manifesting it. You are you're you keep
saying it because what he wants to do is
tell you, ah, [clears throat] chill out,
man. You really don't have a purpose.
Yeah. You think you're so important. You
think and taka you're not so important
clapping the other person to be superior
but you're so important for yourself
especially when you get older right
[snorts]
>> yes especially when we when you get
older you start realizing your kids are
you know you're empty nested you start
all of a sudden you start saying what's
my purpose you know you had a purpose
this whole time you had a purpose you
had a purpose to get married you had a
purpose to have children your purpose to
have children is to raise your children
okay now all the kids are married and
your last boy leaves your house and all
of a sudden as you can tell I'm going
through this adjustment over here and
your last kid leaves your house and all
of a sudden you start saying wait a
second
>> what's the purpose plays over game over
and you have to recognize that the
purpose was never what you thought the
purpose is you thought the purpose was
this is the purpose and based on
everybody else that I see that this is
the purpose this is purpose.
>> The purpose is you have a mission in
this world and the whole world for you
was created for your mission. And the
Reb is telling so therefore therefore
what
everything you do everything that you're
doing is
what can I do to fix what can I do to
bring more revelation of God in the
world? What can I bring more revelation
to myself? How will I be more connected
to? How can I inspire others to be more
connected to? So what do you do? The
first thing is you have to feel the
void. You have to feel the void. You
have to recognize the void. And like
said, the void is not in the world. It's
in your world. The void is in you
because what you see is what you feel. I
once said this many times. I I I came
out to use before I had to say it again.
So about seven or eight years ago, I did
surgery. I was 100 pounds uh heavier.
And [clears throat] after I did surgery,
a couple couple of months after I was
doing surgery, everybody was telling me,
"Wow, you look good. You lost I was
shedding pounds. 100 lbs in 6 months.
You know, you were shedding pounds." And
in my head, thank you very much, but in
my head, I was a fat guy. I was that's
because it didn't internalize Eric Pes
in Orlando take a shower mirrors around
the wall and I started looking around
the mirror and I'm saying
you're looking good
you're looking good for the first and I
said to myself what what is it
everybody's telling me this and it
didn't hit me and now that I'm seeing it
all of a sudden hit me and then I
started going deeper and say wait a
second how come I can't I the mirror is
not a real image of me. Wait a second.
How come I can't see myself? How come I
could only see you and you could only
see me? Couldn't make 360° eyes. He
couldn't make that I should be able to
see myself. Why is it that we could only
see each other and we can't see it? said
that there's a ra which we're not going
to go into the but just to bring this
point out is the perhaps the only way
for me to see me is the way I see you
which means let's just and internalize
this
whatever I see in you is what I see in
me because I wouldn't be able to see it
in you if I didn't experience it
someplace [clears throat] in my life
maybe not exactly in this format and I'm
judging you every time I judge you
negatively. It's because I already
judged myself similarly somewhere else.
Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to judge
you that way. And when I see good in
you, it's because I'm able to see good
in myself. So, what's the point?
Everything is from the view of my view
of the world. So if it's my view of the
world that means the world is according
to my view says the rebb. So understand
that you have to fix. So if you see void
in your friend, if whatever you're
seeing, even though it's really the void
in yourself, so the world is back, it's
a reflection back on you, but then you
have to fix it and you have to feel that
void, not just judge that void and
distance yourself from the void and say,
"Okay, how do I get away from this? I
dodge myself from this. I run away from
this." No, I'm going to internalize that
void because that void is related to me
because that's how I'm seeing it. So it
must mean that the void is somewhere
somewhere back inside of me like was
saying before
what's my what's my only what's my only
thing that I can do to fix that world
the only way is to fix me but how do you
fix me I have to be misp and you have to
be misp because every void that I'm
seeing is the only way is through this
past week I was listening to a sh for I
was by a here by Jonathan Riyadi. He
said a beautiful
we were talking about he's talking about
the word
anybody familiar with
relate
>> nobody nobody anybody if nobody's here
talking to all the people that could
could relate to this yeah okay so tests
right the are tests challenges that are
tested so he said a beautiful I hope I
could say it over the way he said the
shish of the word is Nace.
It's not really nace could be
interpreted. There are four different
translations to the word.
Anybody? Let's see. Nace is
>> running. Not traveling. Running. Go
ahead. No.
>> Come on.
>> Very good. Two.
>> Miracle. Very good. Lifting up.
And one last one. Come on. One last
three. You got three out of four.
>> We say it every day in three times a
day.
>> The son. What is a nag?
>> Very good. A ban.
>> So he said all four interpretations
are in the word.
One one means the first thing is my my
test is am I going to run or am I going
to lift myself up?
That's the first thing.
>> How do I lift myself up and not run
away? What are we always doing in the
test? I don't know about you, but tests
if we were able to run from every test
we had, we'd be running. We'd still be
running.
>> So test,
but if I know it's a challenge and I
don't run and I lift myself up. How? By
recognizing my banner, my flag. Who am
I?
What is this world? This world is not
about living up to the Jones and status
and and all the that we live in that we
all live in. This world has a much
bigger purpose. The purpose is how am I?
These tests are all
uh opportunities for me to be able to
pick myself up and lift myself up by
remembering my n my flag. And then he
brought a [clears throat] medus and this
the medus says I forgot where he brought
it from. I don't know if it's a med
where he said it. I don't want to say
words. I'm very bad at accuracy by the
way and sources [clears throat]
and I'm also very repetitive. So yeah,
it's one of the things that you got to
live with. So the but the point is he
said the biggest miracle is bigger than
is Hashem
made water into blood it's not a
miracle. It's not but for they made
water water. For him to make blood into
water is nothing. But for a person, a
human being to change one mid or to pass
one, that's the biggest miracle. So he
said has all four interpretations
because the biggest miracle is when I
lift myself up by holding on to my
banner of who I am. That is the
biggestness and that's all in. [snorts]
So we conclude with one
>> banner
>> the banner running away n running away
is lifting up itself
>> and and and the miracle and the miracle.
[clears throat]
So anyway, conclude with one thing here
that Rabbi say the Reb here the main
thing I want to get to is one thing the
Reb is talking to us sounds like he's
taking an idea
and by the way you know there's a way of
saying that and you know and there's a
way of saying that's what he was saying
from a whole different perception not
from I have a lot to do rabbi said 56
years old you know how much I got to fix
you know how much void I need to feel
you know how much I have to do but al
we're going to start today and the way
to do this is through listening to this
holy reb that talks directly to you
every time you just have to open space
and listen to the messages
thank
