There was a great RV by the name of Morai Binet, the Talmet of the Nuda. Every single Friday night after the suda, he'd go to his office and learn for several hours. There was one shabas, one Friday night after the suda was over, he goes to the office and the candles are not lit. He asks his rebbiton, "What happened? What happened to the candles?" His rebbiton was confused. The Rebbiton had told their cleaning help to light the candles like she does every single Friday night. So she goes to the office and to her surprise the candles were lit. The office were completely illuminated. So she gets nervous that maybe her husband's losing his eyesight. So she calls in her husband and says, "The office is lit. What are you talking about?" And he looks around and says, "It's completely dark in here." So they began asking questions. They called in the cleaning help and asked her when did she light the candles. And she started to get a little nervous. And it turns out she lit the candles after this. And now it was understood that although in the world of the physical, in the world of nature the candles were lit, but in the world of the world of Shabas, the world that raet lived in the candles were not illuminated at all. There was no light. Shabas is shabas goes above nature. When you celebrate Shabas, when you practice Shabas in such a way above nature, it's a different world. But lived in that world. What's done wrong on Shabas like the candles that were lit has incredible effects on Shabas. When we do the right thing on Shabas, when we don't do, when we say Kdesh and when we learn and we dab on Shabas, that's a shabas. at the mitzvah of it's a completely different world in Shabas than the rest of the week. We have to understand that although all week we're working, we're running around businesses, we're taking care of our family, come Shabas, that world of tea is put behind us. The world of nature is put behind us. We are now entering into a new world. A world that's a world that is connecting to where if you're like if the candles are lit after shambas they're not going to work. This is above nature. The same exact learning and ding that we do during the week when we do that on shambas when we do that in the world that's malva those mitzvah that is even greater. Now we're in the yeshiva shamala if you will. We are now learning in a time zone in a place that's above nature. So every mitzvah that we do is tfold. Every mitzvah that we do is exponentially greater than what we do during the week. Shabas we're entering into the world of it's no longer about nature. It's about that which is above nature. and mitzvah which are by definitional done in a that's namely shabus is that much greater
