Maamar Vkibel 1927 #6 Accessing the Soul Settled vs. Flighty

from poland from that scene poland he's on and laser uh fingerer um suggested he joined us uh he started to see lasers of powershot videos and he liked them and they made a contact and laser um i said i solicited laser to come learn with us again and he said until he gets to us he's going to send to someone else so we have nexman from poland who is a substitute in addition to himself for a laser okay page 198 bottom of the page um kitser let me just read the kisser you're fired the mark valley schneiderlin we learned that that the the brain and the heart one's vitality one's haiyut one's life force depends on a on a head on a mind and on our heart proper comprehension must impact a correction a refinement of the emotions for if one is very intelligent and knows lots and understands very well but it doesn't result in bettering one's character what's the purpose of that knowledge in a way it's a wasted knowledge the purpose of the knowledge is to make you a nicer person that ever explained in the previous chapter the previous rep madre is berusa de liba two levels you know actually uh moshe we didn't finish the entire paragraph i realized you're right we did not okay we have to stop in the middle of that okay so let's go back um it's one two three four five six seven lines from the top in the middle of the line it says um next line eight lines where it says the brush of the libra so avi let me tell you what we learned towards the end yesterday there's something called the aramaic word for the hebrew word razon the liba is the hebrew word for lev the will of the heart khasidis brings this idea there is a will of the heart that transcends logic it transcends emotions logic and emotions feelings and understanding is within the normal system of man there is an aspect to a yi to a man to person which goes beyond that where you get some kind of inspiration that is not that's kind of tren illogical it transcends logic but you feel it's right if everyone else is telling you it's wrong and you feel it's right and it's in your gut feeling and as we say in your kiss and someone says explain to me why you're doing this you say i don't have an explanation but i know it's right and i'm going to act upon it that's called usa so the liba is a sensation that overtakes logic and even feelings so yeah i want to make this very clear there is jonas in middles emotions feelings but emotions feelings are governed by logic we're not talking about that motion we're not talking about just feelings we're talking we're talking about some kind of transcend transcendent feeling that um you know some people call it intuition some people will call it uh um you know an inspiration that's out of body like you know the different ways of expressing it kabbalah uses the words the us for example rosh hashanah will you blow the schaefer and the purpose is to evoke the essence of god to want to be our king right hasidis explains that what's real what's really taking place is we're creating the liba this will of the heart that transcends everything that we've done throughout the year because if we go back and we look at the year and we see checks and we see x's uh the king is not interested so much in being a king over people who have more x's than more than more checks so how is it that we and rosh hashanah are able to arouse hashem to be our king if we have lots of zeros and 0 times 0 equals 0. so how can zero times zero equal one equal hashem so see this explains because you touch the shaffer the the the call of the shaffer is coming the umka the liba from the depths of the heart meaning from deep down from a place that's the arousal of the heart the will of the heart which is not the average normal heart and that's dormant in a person in the subconscious of a jewel and when the heat good morning and when a yid blows the schaefer he touches that nakuda that that point and that point touches the the essential point of hashem and hashem says i will be your king so using that as a marshal we bring it back here that that ever says eighth line page 198. within the ruse of the lead but within the will of the heart there are two levels the first is the libra that's generated through meditation when you have a strong his bona not meditation reflection it develops a strong will of your heart this is a rhetorical remark although the the rotten that we're talking about the uh the will that level of will is what khasidas calls an essential will it's not generated because someone else wants something it's it's it's who you are it's your your deep subconscious coming to the coming out now so what do you mean that is bondingness that meditation generates it so that ever says immediately moshe here again is demonstrative of the record rhetorical question aval is already the retort through the rhetorical question of all who boy there is bonus rapper says you're right it's in the subconscious it's in your in your essence but how is it revealed how does it come out it takes his bonus meditation when you reflect on how god has been malaca pervades all worlds he surrounds the world he is the way he's the essence of the world and they know there's nothing besides him and every all the other concepts that we learn and we talk about to meditate upon to reflect on in a deep way not just a cursory way his bondingness is deep concentration concentration that's not that's not his bondedness that's understanding his bone in this meditation any form of meditation its essence is a deep concentrated focused on this [Music] concentration on an issue so that ever says that when you have that when you engage in that activity it brings out what you have in your essence which is the use of the libra she is abundant this who believes shalom is tousles what are you reflecting on the only what's the content of my his bonus on concepts of god as god transcends the universe the world the is of the his boninos is about god as god transcends the world but where what's the container for that his abundance the brain and the heart so the heart is aroused and says you know i i i want to have a relationship with hashem i need to understand better who i am who god is what's the purpose so there's an arousal an awakening and we call that his sightedness i live and finally after they say not finally and that is alive what does it do it shut it then wakes up the cup you start understanding wait a minute is hashem here or not yes me ayan something from nothing so where who who is the god the yes or the iron the iron well if he's iron why is it called god he's nothing what does that mean and and if he's here in what manner is he or is he close or he's distant and these are thoughts that we think about this is a healthy abundance and ultimately what's the token the content of that is one is about eight or in himself hashem in his infinity in his essence so the place in which the the the content of god is held is in the container the container the caylee is the moah and the heart but the token the content the meat and potatoes of what's in there is about a level of god that that transcends this is all one aspect of uh that but now goes further the habeis there is a level of rusa de libra the will of the heart that he had here even his bonanus meditation is lacking the ability to touch the very essence you know you wake up in the morning you say i i have to be a new person you know something happens and and you make a decision which is like totally not you russian asks me and you're very passionate about it and nothing stops you from doing it you have that will and that drive and you can't say that the will and the drive is generated by your meditation and because you meditated and you reflected and you aroused your heart and the day before and the day two days before and all that and you didn't come to this decision and his determination so obviously what is it that gets you something very deep deeper than all deep and we call that let's go to the mimer's words in as the soul is bound in its essential connection but us was saying self-particle to the essence of god he cites the statement it is attached and bound to you to god commercially says all of this is about a level of the neshama that's beyond investing itself in the gulf that the soul that part of the nishama yoni that's in our goof in our body doesn't experience this it doesn't experience this it's why because its purpose and its mission is not to experience this we need we're here every day we get up we have a satan we have our work right you don't need to have this experience that he's talking about to function daily so to begin with what aspect of godliness does the abrasive give to the shrama that that it has its mission for daily and what is that learn dive and think do mitzvahs be away for the show that's it when you talk about something that is transcendence that breaks all barriers that you weren't able to do you were stuck in a rut you had this um this habit you can't break a habit here you need something much deeper here you need roxanna so the rebbe says that these levels of reusa de liba whether it's level one or level two are not invested in the goof available this is all a long answer to a question what was the question motion the question is how can we say that the head is higher than the body if we're talking about the essence they're all the same that was his question it was rhetorical but that was his question and his answer finally is it depends on what level of the soul you're talking about if you're talking about the level of the soul that is what that is invested in the goof there are distinctions ahead a body needles emotions and regular and feet one two and three there's a rabbi a gabai and a congregate and a congregant there is a say there there is order just last night i was speaking to a what i said it sounds like a joke i got by in a congregant it sounds like a joke but it's not a joke last night at uh david meyer very late at showing shabbos and i met an old uh lubavitcher that i haven't seen in five years and he said he was a god by shane in a cabbage shoe but now someone who was in charge of the shoe went to muncie because of covert and the school is like falling apart and he showed you know a lack of interest of being got by shaney as a breakdown when you don't have a system when the leader takes a hiatus you know for whatever reason and there's a breakdown in the system so in the system of shu in the system of normalcy we have a head we have a heart and we have feet is there a distinction between the three absolutely the rabbit once spoke of sikhs moulds printed the rabbit said in this sikha he learned a heroic lesson from moshe the eden he says it's true that moshe says i am on stand here today amongst the 600 000 foot soldiers foot walkers right but the rebels said nevertheless he is maisha rabeno he is your leader he is your rabbi mosher obey out of his because of his humility is giving credit to all the people that's true absolutely but does that does he lose the status of my banu no and therefore people must know that the one who makes the decisions is the motion the one who makes the decisions spiritual decisions in a shul is a rav a rabbi you can have a board and they can decide what color carpet they have and what color cheers they have but the spiritual decisions is up to the roof and ashoola doesn't this work this way you heal ahem mashallah because then you're going to have every bala boss in every group deciding and it becomes very very uh chaotic but i don't want to get into that right now i'm just bringing a duke an example of how there needs to be say there and the same is in a family there's a father and a mother there are children and then there is grandchildren and there is a behavior and then there's a system and then our religion and yiddish kite and judaism the system is most important most important is the system a family that eats together stays together what's the shot it's not just we're breaking bread together there is a system where you come to a table and you have a father and a mother or if the father is only there the mother is there for whatever reason but so what does this child see that you know this is my figurehead this is my father my mother this is it it creates a a system and just parenthetically that's why today those families that for whatever reason they fail in the system there's more issues later on i'm not issues are issues okay but there is a structure structure is healthy i'm saying all this because there ever says here at the end that when you talk about the oil ham slavish be goofed in the shama hamish lavish big goof he says then we can understand the difference between roche goof and regul when you talk about transcendence then they're all the same so so i just spent some time saying that the the regular normal way is the system and and and and we have to and we have to understand that the system is another way to say it says ish more the word a word that's repeated thousands and thousands of times in any a mimer from any of the rabbian histories why make a big deal about established also means the progression of the way the god's energy comes from on high to low why make such a big issue with go go go straight to god go straight to the essence the answer is because hashem himself chose chose and sanctioned and blessed and wants his thousands the rebel says this in a footnote and look what it is when he talks about the essence of god versus the manifestation of god the river says a line and yeshiva remember we were all into this concept and we were talking a lot about it that that the the word for manifestation in hebrew from the word gilui revelation that the deluium themselves are sanctioned by osmos by the essence so then did you have a different connotation it's no longer a system you're innocent based wake up because this is very good valdic you learned this in your stream i'm refreshing your memory that that the diggy liam are no longer are no longer just you know my whim to the shama's decision and things like that no the gilliam themselves become part of the essence because the essence wants giluium so shen juan say there it's not satan because you know like we've discussed you know oh i have a certain type of personalities so i like getting up early another person has another personality likes being proper and they're the third person wants to be neat and the fourth person wants to be scattered you know all she'll say that's individual choices that's individual choices if you make the choice but when you understand that wants system and system is as holy as transcendence oh then system is something very different in 1944 the rebels father i believe it's nearly passed away and the rebel was in america in crown heights right so he needed to doubt him for the armament and the devil worked at the time at the brooklyn navy yard so the gabae of the shul i think was rabjohn and gordon rabbi yoshua gordon's um zeta his grandfather josh gordon's grandfather yeah and he was accustomed from the babbage you know and you know he had the echoes that he had the background so the rabbit came to him and he said what time is chakras you know um what time is chakras because the rebel was going to down for the omen so he said [Music] this 9 30 to 9 35 i think that he he said two numbers that was a difference of five minutes and then ever turned him and he said rabbi is it 9 30 or 9 35 now some will say oh the rebel was very proper it's it's a it's totally it's that's totally wrong totally wrong it's because system is sanctioned by hashem it's godliness and if a minion needs to start 9 30 that ever taught us and taught himself and be there and we're starting on time whether i myself like that or i'm such a person makes no difference the system is godly and i want to adhere to the system rabbi another example there's a sleeve that you all and i know from california rabbi moshe joseph engel in long beach california he's been there since the early 70s very fine yet so i heard that he learned many of his years in the montreal chabad yeshiva in montreal so i heard that someone saw them who you know checks in and checks out when boys come in and go out you know as far as coming on time that at his in his name and his record there there was never a day that he came late to 7 30 with hasidis starts at 7 30. he never had an x he had a a check every day for five for four or five years as long as he was there so some will say you know and we know him you know that's his style it's true that's his style but there's something that's overriding and greater than the style is the connection to cabo to to come to seder because it's a godly thing and this is the hardest thing you ask about you know in hasidis itself the hardest thing is to have cabola soil it's very hard and that's why i think i told you there was a hostage in them enough amongst the hasidim and the mushrim of the past generation and all they see them by 10 to 20 years when they would come to a fabrega and he was there and really they should be the speakers because they're so much older than seniority they sat quietly because he excelled in cabola soil more than them they might have been smarter they might have they make they knew how to learn better but when it came to sader cabola soil no one beat him he was a soldier and it's the hardest thing because because understanding and learning is exciting feeling is is more exciting so if you're diving with feelings and you dove and over the time govalding you learn to see this you learn gemara you learn when you get into a topic and the clock you don't realize the valdic that there's someone that says that's all gevalde but did you come at 7 30 or 7 31. oh that's that hats off to such a person if someone's able to do that it's the hardest thing so i'm saying all this it took a little time just yes yes more i think that's what we say is the mind and the heart the one's highest one's vitality one's life force depends on that the hasada when one comprehends something it has to impact the emotions of the heart it has to make a change in your character if i base madre is we explain two different levels in the will of the heart the the will that transcends which we discussed um but the virtue of the heart that feels this will of will of the heart um and what's the virtue of the mind comprehension let's continue that pervades the body that comes into the body generally speaking we divide into three categories head body and feet kanu is so too when we talk about the worlds the spiritual worlds chemistry we divide them into three categories the world of creation two yeti the world of formation and three asiyah the world of action again rhetorical a rhetorical question [Music] there is no number to the worlds so yoni what does it mean that there's three brilliant [Music] in other words how many worlds are there ain't mistborn adam from ireland there is no number there there's there's a there's a numberless amount of worlds so the zohar interprets just the opposite of the literal meaning umikoma can nevertheless because nevertheless says the freedom generally speaks he must call kim we do divide them the gimbal is the three world into three worlds categories in other words again we have to systemize and and categorize and organize for us to function and be able to capture the picture so for that purpose it's important and it's really important and he says commandment as the saying goes abba illah top of page 199 abba illah the supernal father mcconnell rests because in in the chair in the throne you know where the throne is yes yes i'm sorry ema thank you ima it has a nice big throne what is that the world of bria because the world of vasilis is standing that's why khabra you know why do we stand avi by shmon esray well people tell you why do we stand because we're asking hashem answer but why why could you ask hashem sitting sitting down so kabbalah says because the level of monastery is atsilos the world of emanation you're closest to god and you're close to god you don't sit get off your chair god's in front of you stand up amida what about the next world bria the world of creation there we know it's says should be said while sitting why it requires his foot settlement calmness reflection the world of bria in comparison to the world of atheilus on one hand it's a lower realm it's after absilus but at that second on the same time it has something that silas doesn't have and what is that the settlement there is a virtue to settlement over i won i'm on top you can be on top many times and no one comes along with you and they don't like you but when you settle people can relate to that more so there is a virtue to this and a virtue to that but going back to the piece of zoyard the mother a mother a mother is soothing a mother sues soothes the baby calms the baby knows how to deal with a screaming baby a father becomes cuckoo nervous upset but a mother is very soothing ima ila the supernal mother beena where is its resting place mekananabe it dwells it rests in the cradle in the throne in a position of settlement the mother is able to get that to be special let me just finish this line the sheet sweden and the sixth swerot of khasid guru the ferris nation they are found their domain their home their hub is yet of the world of formation and finally royalty regality kingship ba asia where is that in action right in action we'll stop here but the point that ever is beginning to explain is the reconciliation between saying that there is an infinite amount of worlds and at the same time there's a category of three and we'll get back to that tomorrow moisture you want to say something you know rubber duckling when you say it's settlement there's a virtue to settlement did you also you also mean let's say when i think of settlement i think of practically like compromise do you you mean the same thing would you would you is that the same i'm trying to relate to that i i i would say that that's an extension of settlement but it's not don't limit it to compromise in other words compromise has a tell me if if you think you know what you think but i think compromise the english word compromise has a positive and a negative connotation what's the negative i didn't get my way to making a compromise that's not what we mean here we mean here to begin with the world of bria sees settlement as the the best not as a second best so settle again but settlement just on a practical level so maybe i'm maybe i'm not using the best word but go ahead maybe you know the idea is he in hebrew the word is his foot calmness peacefulness tranquility okay so maybe the word settlement isn't the best word the the point what creation yes so so you should moshe you know what yeshua das means settled settled sorry oh that's better i'll be very good mo should you hear what he said right it's not settlement settled okay i i heard but i'm just going back to the example that you you you said something very interesting we said that people you sit and i think it's very true there's a lot of truth to that that the person comes out on top that may be good for him but he may not have anybody there with him to you know and and the comment about the people can relate much more to you use the word settlement so i like that except you know in other words but i'm just trying to understand but that's that's yeshua das is is is of course that's great but that doesn't necessarily wow how does that connect to how does that connect to the other person okay so so again we're talking here about let's not lose bria we're talking about the world of bria the uh and we and the zora's saying that the ima in law dina the beena understanding where is its domain it's hub it's in it's in embryo right bina is embryo mechanic right so i was i'm explaining why is that because when a person's mind is dealing is is bina not not not creativity creativity is all jumpy and very exciting again let's go back to the muscle that rabbit canter brings that i love so much the flying bird versus the the rooted tree the rooted tree you can count on today and tomorrow the flying bird soars on high it's exciting but it can get lost and blown away and you never see it again creativity is gevaldic for those who are creative but they don't have the virtue of being settled of of of rooted okay so that's why a healthy company needs a ceo who's strong in creating creativity or someone under him whoever is the brain behind the company and then it needs a govaldiguez accountant and it means like a valdice manager people that can take the genius ideas and make them rooted and keep system because if you don't have that you can have the greatest ideas your company will end and we've seen this and we see this i remember they they said about rabbi moshe hurston of the rabbinical college that that the youngest and i learned in morristown and i know him that he was a very subtle type of person you know let's say robert cunanan they're both i've been cute in his uh you know but he but he's all over he he's he's explosive right but he couldn't do what hurston did and hurston couldn't do what he did what did herself do he managed the team he was able because of his personality his settled personality his beena personality he related very well to others and he and he orchestrated an entire staff and and and i know them both and i knew their staff you know what i'm saying so it there's a myla in the beena versus the but we can talk about the virtue of apina which is creativity in other words when it took robbie hurston to 10 15 years it took cune in one year i mean but it was it was wild it was it was you know with shmuel and i were there you know in the early 80s you know 17 million dollars in debt doing all kinds of things that was probably more of the inside than i do and and and you know it has its pluses and it's minuses there's no one no one can say this is bad and this is good they're both good and both have each and a person has to decide what's my comfort level and who am i i want to there's a few people who aren't on we have a new student down called netsaf nets if you want to come on and show your face so shmuel could see you and yoni netsup so welcome here rebecca is sitting now in statin statseen poland and avi fingershmall sent him as a replacement for himself to join our shirt because i reached out to avi to to a laser fingerer and he said and i asked the next how he knows about um laser he said he started
