welcome everyone atas we're recording a special edition of from sunny Florida at the art scroll retreat at Trump Dural Hotel want to share with you an amazing and important connection between the beginning and end of the par the begins heard everything did to that took them MIM Y is the seml of Aliah from the depths of Darkness he was a k a priest for aara and he tested every a zar in the world and he elevated himself to the extent where even bam was astounded bam said that the grandchildren of Y were firmly established in theas yro Saw elevated from the 49th level of t to the extent they reached almost the 50th level of K maybe that's mumas in the the 50th level call 50 they reached almost the shim so this opening of the para represents one's ability to Rise Up from the lowest level to the highest madrea and yet we always need to connect this with the end of the para and the para ends the life literally it's going on the do not go up steps on because when you go up steps it so to speak spreads your feet and it is suggestive of uncovering the lewdness of the body but many say and we'll try to bring out all the sources that what this PK is alluding to is don't rise up in suddenly that one when one wants to rise in don't do it suddenly don't do it all at one time it has to it has to be on a slope slowly slowly like the says meaning when you want to rise up the heights of don't go immediately when you start in your quest of service of hasem and want to reach the you need to start and train yourself M after M submissively humbly so that's meaning otherwise you are likely to fall in shame and as the great RV the student of the the the says in we see that there are many sometimes that become M they become crazy or they fall into depression they fall into where would that come from how could a servant of hasem lose his mind or fall into despair the tah can't do such a thing the tah engenders only happiness and well-being but the issue is says the is many people they want to rise to the highest Madre and at this point it's too far for them they and they can't do it suddenly so they start grabbing on to things that is not to them or some people they want to serve hasem but they they feel they have to be Bali MGA on a very very high level so the Torah warns that's not the way to go don't serve hasem only to be AAL madga follow what you need to do do what you have to do and if you want to add to it you have to do so smartly little by little but you can't jump up to mados that are Beyond you right away it cannot be P Miss sudden otherwise you're in danger of falling in danger of falling into depression or even worse losing your mind how beautiful this fits with something the to one of the earli bring in many many sources he brings this in he brings us in his that the says what was H's plan make an eight 50 what was H getting at well Hama knows that if you can't get someone to sin an equally powerful way to cause them to stumble is tell them yeah you're going to reach the highest levels try to inspire them to reach the Shon and that's another way to bring about someone's downfall and this we are warned not to do this because this is the plan of H that H's plan was to get to rise to the 50th level suddenly and that would bring about his downfall and this is also the interpretation of Sam himself quoted in the that Thea to follow the path of is only because by doing so you train yourself to fight the but if you do it suddenly you are endangering your spiritual well-being so this is an amazing connection between the beginning and end of the par yes y represents a sent but at the same time we have to do it with practicality one more thing in the he brings to connect the the end of the par to the beginning don't act arrogantly and then that's a that an unov can understand the Torah truly don't be arrogant then you will understand the T in the proper way wishing everyone a wonderful chabas
