Welcome to our class on this week we're
going to be learning a beautiful
discourse of the Reb it's actually a
classical discourse the reab said this
discourse
onat and that year was
said after
Shabbat and that year the re said three
different discourses on that weekend and
this is the third one in the
year 60 years ago now this discourse is
not certified and edited but I want to
give an introduction first so since this
is a discourse said in honor ofat now we
know yat is the anniversary when the
rebit took on leadership so the Civic
discourse is unique and it's a classic
because first of all the Reb took on
leadership so he brings in into this
discourses teachings from the B the the
AL
theed the previous rebba and obviously
Reb saying his ideas so you're bringing
in very very very powerful cic and kabad
leaders into this discourse so that in
itself is very powerful there's a very
powerful cabalistic ideas in theic
discourse but then there a powerful
lesson and empowering lesson where God
is with with us wherever we are and
whenever we
are so again theic discourse is based on
the verge
where it says in the
prophets where God says I came to my
garden my sister my bride so the Reb
brings from the previous rebba in the
sidic discourse that he published um in
honor of his yard site as he gave it out
before his yard site and he explains
this verse where King Solomon says
bosani I came to my garden and he
explains what does it mean lagani my
garden
which means the place where I was my
main stay the the intense uh presence of
Hashem was there before what does that
mean because the the main dwelling place
of hem was down in this world why is
that because initially the dwelling
place of Hashem was totally in a
revealed way in this world and just like
it was in the Garden of Eden before the
sin but unfortunately through the
different sins and starting with the
aash the primordial sin and the sins
afterwards it's like it says in the med
that the the presence of hasem started
to leave this world it means god started
to conceal himself more and he left the
world he went from one heaven to the
next Heaven until he went into the
seventh
heaven afterwards after God made a um uh
left so to speak this world and all the
Heavens to the higher L and he would
concealed himself then after that that
came the sadik and righteous people and
they started to draw godliness down back
into this world every one of the
righteous People based on their unique
service of
hasem up till the seventh one who is the
seventh one Mo and as we know says the
seven is always most beloved by and he
brought down the the go the the from the
from the seventh heaven if you cting the
top the first but from the last one
close to the world down into this
physical world so that was the process
of of of of the period from creation
where God left over over over several
gen several sins and then when he came
back down
and and the same thing also applies to
all theik all the righteous people like
the verse
says the righteous people they inherit
the
land they caus God to to dwell back into
the world in other words they cause to
draw down the the the Holiness down
physically in this world and that's the
whole idea where it says in the T where
God
says that when you learn to you pray you
do God will dwell amongst us how does
that happen how do we create that God
should dwell within us so spiritually
it's through the spiritual service of
his scafa when we practice restraint and
more important when we go ahead and we
do it's we trans we transform a
situation in other words first we start
with restraint restraining ourselves
from doing what we shouldn't do and then
not only we don't do we shouldn't do we
actually do something positive and when
we go ahead and do our spiritual work of
SCA you restraint and transformation so
what we do is we
transform the negativity the and then
what happens
is that the powerful presence of Hashem
has felt all over the world and and the
term is stalic doesn't mean he leaves it
means actually a tremendous Revelation
and that's the whole
concept that when we do our of learning
doing praying and especially when we
have to practice restraint from not
wandering off and and actually
transforming the moment to Holy moment
we cause this powerful energy of hasem
to come be revealed into the world now
what so and that is the idea
of now when it comes to where God is
dwelling in this world so the re say
there two ideas one is the dwelling that
Hashem dwells in the Mishka in the
Tabernacle and later on the mikdash
because we know that's where Hashem was
the main revelation of was in the in in
the Mish the Tabernacle and the B
mdash and so that's one idea the
Revelation is where in in the physical
space of the Mish mdash but also it says
plural which is referring to every
single Jewish person in other words when
we do our spiritual work of praying
studying Torah doing MIT practicing SC
we cause that hem dwells in the world
and we affect the literal dwelling of
hem literally into the Mish and the
mdash so we saying is accomplishing two
places one in the physical world the
Mish and the mdash and be within within
each and every one of us and that's why
one the Main Service in the Mish was
bringing the
sacrifices why cuz what's a sacrifice he
brings from
the and that who brings in The
Who and from the Z that says what is the
idea of a sacrifice carbon Hebrew the
Hebrew word for car for a sacrifice is
carbon carbon comes from the word of K
so know we creating a closeness between
the physical world and the spiritual
world and where they bring the
sacrifices in the Mishka in the
Tabernacle as we know in the mish how
was the Mish made it says in the Torah
crushing you should make planks
Mish made out of wood now what now
that's the physical world wood what is
the spiritual significance that the the
the spirit significance of which is
referring to like it says in the tal it
comes from the word of sh comes from the
same word of silliness and from this
silliness that's what we use to make the
build the mishan in other words what
does that mean because we know in
general the reason why somebody
unfortunately sins no one intentionally
wants to rebel against hem so it's
called a the spirit of silliness goes
into the person and as we know that
silliness also comes from the same word
of of of of sat which means that you're
veering off the the the the the straight
path and when we go ahead and we reverse
that and as we transform the silliness
of the the the the the outside the world
of Holiness and we make from that
silliness we make a PL for the Mish
itself so that's on a physical level
what on a spiritual level what do we do
with transforming the Shak which is the
Shak is f which is the same letters as
as Kish which is the plank we transform
the full sord of the world and we make
the planks should should be a dwelling
place for Hashem and this way Hashem can
have in this world
says who is the one that does the
spiritual work in other
words that um the work that we need to
do in a way that we we fix the world so
to speak we transform the world and had
and since we have to go ahead and
transform the silliness
of which is basically lower than
intellect because intellect tells us to
do the right thing so in other words
it's not enough to do intellectual work
because but unfortunately that couldn't
save us and like the ra like and like
the rambam said says in in the code of
the Jewish law in the section of Hil the
way of the way the way of serving hem so
he says as follows generally speaking
the way we serve hem is middle of the
road middle of the road is always the
best way however what happened if
somebody Veer off the path so it's not
just enough to go back to the Middle
Road you have to Veer off on a positive
side off on you have to Veer up on the
positive side and then you come to the
to the middle so how much more so when a
person veers off in a silly way and gets
involved in the fals of the world so in
in order to go ahead and transform the
world and make it back to a dwelling
place for Hashem you can't just go ahead
and do the basic service and you have to
know means you have to go ahead and do
even above intellect like he brings in a
tal where it says that the rabbi would
go ahead and he would be like silly in a
positive way he would dance so much so
off the charts to bring Sim to bring
happiness by a wedding so in other words
so what do we see from here who can go
ahead and accomplish this Mission the
who is that so like it says in the
Torah someone that's in the army of hem
in other words what is someone that's a
soldier in the Army a soldier we know
doesn't just go on on a simple path a
soldier I'll say in Hebrew I'll
translate goes are a serious neish a
soldier is willing to give up his life
why to be to win the war
because if you're not willing to go on
self-sacrifice you're not going to win
the war the only way you're going to win
if you're willing to I mean you don't
have to give up your life hopefully that
doesn't happen but you have to be
willing to give up your life and that's
basically the job of every single Jewish
person because we're all part of God's
Army and like it says in like it says in
nanya even the most simplest person is
willing to go ahead and give up their
life for for and that's our to transform
the world we don't just do it the middle
of the road we actually go to an extreme
that willing to give up our life to
learn T to pray do to practice restraint
and transformation and through that we
make that God dwells in the
world and that's what he continues on to
say how do we do it so there's a
tremendous treasure that Hashem gives us
Hashem gives us the tools to do it it's
called The Treasure and like we see for
example literally when there's a war
and even when when there's a war so the
at during the war they give all the
treasures even Treasures that they never
even opened up and not only that they
take not only the king's Treasures of
the present time but they take Treasures
that exist from previous generations and
something which is so so precious but
when it comes to a war and it comes to
being successful in the war a person is
willing to give up their life and you're
willing to to to share any treasure you
have and not only your but your your
ancestors Etc and th this this approach
of I'll say in Hebrew bisbas just giving
it all out that creates the energy that
we need to win the
war now even though so when you open up
the treasures so first you give it to
the generals to the big off officers But
ultimately who does it have to go to it
goes to the foot soldiers the ones that
are on the front line going on self-
sacrifice in other words even though
there are people that are strategizing
in the war people that are in charge and
they know all the wisdom and all the
strategies of of the war Etc but the
fact is in order to be successful in the
war from the top to the bottom you have
to use and massage which attribute the
attribute of n we know in the sphere
there 10 spheroid and the attribute of n
um which is deep in the soul that that
that gives us the power to say we're
going to do whatever it takes to be
successful in this war in a physical War
to get rid of the enemy in a spiritual
war to get rid of the the the spiritual
enemy and therefore we see that even
that by that by a even by a king that
that he's not necessarily in the front
line but the King has within him the
attribute of n is very strong within the
king and like it's explained in the cic
discourse like what it says in reference
to a Torah scholar that a Torah scholar
that doesn't stand up
for for for for respect for for the tal
he's not considered a Torah scholar even
though you want to be humble and you
want you want and and you don't want to
be aggressive at times but when it comes
sometimes to to stand up to respect the
Torah you have to have that act like the
expression
is you have to be willing to stand up
what for the truth and that's the power
of however says it's very very important
to know that when you're using which is
a very very powerful tool you have to be
careful not to to do to use it right and
not to use it obviously in the wrong and
inappropriate ways now how much more so
when it comes to a King as we know the
king we know is higher than everybody
the king is the king of of above
everybody even among greater than all
the officers Etc so obviously the King
has to have the attribute in that he is
going to win has to be very very strong
and
therefore even the
treasures and nobody even saw them not
only is he open them and he gives them
but he actually he gives it without any
limit and he gives it obviously to to
the to the people in the war they can
successful in the war and um not only do
they give things which are higher than
things that uh that are usually revealed
but even deeper than than things that
are revealed like we call a treasure
something which is a total treasure
which is locked up and like it says like
something which is totally locked up
that people never saw
it besides the king himself and but in
order that we should be successful in
the war in other words to
transform the falsehood of the world and
to make it from she into the planks of
the Mish and through that we should
accomplish our mission of God should
dwell on there so they give from from on
high everything that's needed that's
even not revealed and even even from the
deepest level that should totally be
revealed so re saying is that obviously
in order to be successful in our
spiritual war Hashem gives us everything
treasures and P like the example he uses
for in regular War
now this level of revelation that gets
revealed in order to Su be succeed in
the war it's a revelation which is
called I'll say in Hebrew the cabalistic
term it it has no end the has no
beginning so it's almost like infinite
No Beginning No End it's infinite that
gets revealed and that's what he brings
um the the the the teaching from the
from
the says and I'll use the say the word
in
Hebrew referring to the infinite
light goes on to the highest level
and goes to the lowest level now so even
though we're using the term light and we
know light is all about Revelation but
we're not dealing with a regular typ
regular type of life but light but we're
talking about a light which is
a and it's what type of light it's one
that goes to the highest places and to
the lowest places and just again to to
be clear we we always when we say the
term high low we don't term refer to
physically High spiritually uh
physically low we're talking about
spiritually high with this great
Revelation and spiritually low with his
tremendous concealment so the o the
infinite light
of that's all over from the highest to
the lowest and that's what they give us
to be successful in the war and we soon
soon later even more than that now so he
explains this powerful light that's
revealed so he want to talk how powerful
it is so he starts to explain that this
powerful light goes to the lowest places
and we say low we mean low in the the
level of the way things flow in the
world of the world of Bri Etc up until
it comes down to this physical world the
materialistic world and not only in this
physical world so not only so so you
have without this physical world now in
this physical world you have things
which are holy and things which are
neutral so to speak but this light comes
even into the world of the
cipot that know where God is Not
revealed actually God Is concealed and
that's also connected to his physical
world and like he explains over there
even deeper it goes down even lower than
the world of kipa like the alter
explains in Tanya and he
says that a person that sins
against is spiritually lower than the
world of kipa why because kipa is like
the example is when the example T uses
that let's say for example the king
wants to test his child so what does he
do he hires a prostitute to see to try
to seduce him to see how strong he is
with his values so the fact is the the
the proess that he hires that's cipot
but but she was hired by the king to to
test and that's why that's why it was
created so it's kipa but it was was okay
by the king to see if you can pass a
test but the person unfortunately fails
a test and the person that sins and
actually go and Rebels against the will
of a king it's actually lower than
kipot so that's even a lower level and
even there the light goes there and so
even here where a person that sins and
actually rebels in ideas of of of the
opposite of Holiness so even things
which are permissible and you have even
deeper than that like the AL BL in like
somebody unfortunately that Rebels
against it's like taking the king of the
the the head of the king and you're
bringing it down into like a like a
cesspool and like Dr explains over there
at
l in other words so what's our job that
to take ideas of holiness and and a step
further people take Holiness and they
actually transform it and they and they
rule against the torah's opinion and
against the will of Hashem know the
lowest level is to take literally
hashem's Torah and to say the opposite
of it and say to do the opposite hm
wants and but the point is the that that
powerful light of Hashem guess what goes
to the lowest places okay up until here
is the first 13 chapters of the L
discourse of the previous rebba now for
this year the Reb is going to explain
more in depth the 14th chapter so this
is going to be the the the the the
intense part of the of theic discourse
today going into the 14th chapter in
depth so in the 14th chapter the
previous brings and he says based in the
verse in the prophets where it says
the as you referring to hasem M give
life as k everything so everything
literally everything so now remember we
say referring to hem m is life and means
everything so everything from the
highest to the lowest everything gets
its life force from where from
now even though there's the lowest level
like we just explained before you know
with the world of the person that sins
against hem and that Rebels against Etc
um and we explain what level one level
lower than the other but nevertheless
what does the verse say the
you the lowest lowest level who who
caused it to
existem so before he said oh he hired
the pr and the person that's sinning but
the says no no even the person that's
sinning who is giving the person energy
they can s
hasem now this says the you so what part
of hasm are we talking about so
obviously if it says the at you're
describing you some kind of level it's a
prove it's not talking the atmos the
essence of hem because you know the
essence of hem you can't describe it by
based on a letter in a word in
description so it's not talking about
the essence of hem now so even though so
it's a lower level but we know what it
says that when you pray you should pray
to hem not to a not to a level and it's
God forbid you can say that there's
something other the that gives life for
us so but nevertheless when it comes to
the energy it's possible that the energy
can come from the essence of hasm the
way the way the essence is that's one
that's one level or the way the essence
of hem wants to conceal himself in a in
a in a very high light that to reference
to this level is considered dark in
other words so since he uses the term V
and like especially the AL explains in
in
t where it says the
so is spelled
Al so says Al is referring to all the
letters from Al to T and the hey is
referring to the five different
expressions of of of in the mouth so in
other words so and these letters all and
hey the five different ways you you
articulate the the different letters
that gives life force so in other words
we're not talking about the asmos the
way it's on its own but it's talking
about the essence of
way conceals himself through the letters
so
the again so it's not talking the
essence ofm it's took like one drop
lower the way the essence conceals
itself in the letters and through those
letters that gives life force to the
world and to everything in the lowest
level and the alar continues on to
explain don't only
read you give life which means you
create you give life force but it means
Mah means you actually create everything
so m means you're giving it you're
giving it a Lifeline Maha means you
actually created it and of this what
this is what he explains in this chapter
14 that you referring to again the part
of the essence way lower level weights
in the letters
give give a Lifeline um to everything so
also gives literally the creation of
everything know it's both to create and
both to give it energy
after it's created now even though
there's the fact is there's a big
difference between creation and giving
it energy and I explained many places in
at length that when hasem creates um
this world and the human being this
world so Hashem created us in a
way that Hashem is
concealed from the creation that created
up to the point that we should think
that we created ourself and that's the
fact that's the ego that's where the ego
comes from Hashem created us all but the
fact is Hashem conceals himself we walk
around we say I you Etc why even though
hasm created us but he conceals himself
to think we should think that we that
who we already are however when it comes
to literally staying
alive and you think about how am I even
Staying Alive how is my brain my heart
my whole body working ah so you come to
the realization now even even though
it's a it's a you know it's a uh a a
small meditation but you realize there's
somebody that's allowing me to live my
brain is working my heart's working my
feet are every part of my body is
working someone's allowing me to live
now and like it gives the example when
it says in the
Torah that the Earth
should should give off its produce so
there's two components in other
words before anything was
created and and then you have something
which is cre so the first part has has
to
create anything that anything that's
growing but
afterwards you have to sustain it as
well and as we see there are certain
plants for example need a lot a lot of
rain and then you see certain plants too
much rain is no good you need less from
out the rain and the same thing also you
see different levels of of heat um
temperatures that different plants need
so when you meditate about the fact that
this needs more and this needs less Etc
you realize the way Hashem is literally
making every single plant
grow and that that allows it that allow
that gives it its life force but after
you realize from we see the way it grows
that it's coming from Hashem we come to
understanding that not only not only is
a grow from Hashem but we also see that
someone actually cre created it why is
that because a physical thing can can
create
himself and this is and this what what
it what it says um this is what what it
says in a revealed way and the Torah
says you
give Life Force to everything in other
words and that's how we learned like Dr
taught us not only we give it life force
that allows it to grow but we actually
hasm actually created it know when we
say don't read giving it life force but
read creating it it's not coming to take
one away from the other it's actually
adding that from the way you watch the
way something is growing
you come to the understanding and
realization that not only is it growing
from hasem but it's also created from
hasem and the fact that both of those
are in the same uh in the same word so
so obviously you see that that that that
one brings to the other so what we see
is is is the growth the growth you
realize comes from Hashem and then we
realize that even the creation is from
Hashem and that's why it it says in this
verse that
that here to create and to maintain and
the infinite light does both and know it
creates it and it maintains it so again
what we saying over here
so means creates and maintains
everything from the highest to the
lowest level now this idea that creates
and maintains is in everything that in
in this world in other words it
says K means everything it know
everything means not not only Holiness
or things that are
neutral and we find many places that
when it says uh that most is like all of
it no but here he says that that it's
referring to everything like he brings
the verse that says that hasem
is feeds and
sustains in other words that hasem feeds
from literally from the from the from
the Horn of the ax to the eggs of the
lies from the greatest to the smallest
thing everything comes from Hashem
everything know this that
says you give it life for us like so he
brings from the Al and as you notice
that he's bringing in all different
teachings from like we mentioned before
from
the he brings now he brings that brings
the commentary of the that what it says
in in in the
verse that you the words of hasem are
forever standing in he in heaven in
other words the letters of the the AL
are literally standing without any
deviation and that causes the world to
be created and and and and to and to
maintain his creation so therefore
anything that exist exists in the world
because we know a yes a materialistic
thing can't make
itself so it's not only it's not it's
not majority but literally from the
highest levels which is BAS which is
basically the
horns of of an axe which is the which is
the biggest creation till the egg of a
li which is the smallest one everything
was created and maintained by ashem and
just like it's on the physical level the
same thing also applies on a spiritual a
spiritual level why because we know that
that materialism comes from spirituality
so if it consists physically it's
obviously that way in spiritual level as
well and that's what it says in
Caba this that it says
from was it referring to so on a
physical level you're saying the horns
ofox but it's actually referring to a
very very high level spiritually which
is actually referring to the 10 spheres
of the sphere of ker and as we know that
ker is is is is the is the greatest is
the greatest SP and ker itself it's it's
in the level of K the top part of ker up
until it goes to the highest level of
ker that's one extreme and the Other
Extreme it goes to beIN which is
referring to the smallest creation
spiritually know the smallest part of of
godliness that we know that there's no
place in the world there's nothing that
does not exist without the power of hem
even works of
Witchcraft of the obviously not a holy
place and that's why he says in
PR on in reference to the the
spirituality that was in the K that he
says
that is spelled with
a is 20 n is 50 yud is another 10 and me
is 40 so that's 120 what's 120 120 is
referring to again think like kin which
is so to speak the lowest level is 120
which is 12 120 permutations of God's
name
Elohim because as we know that Elohim is
the is the one that Shields over it's
the part that conceals and that's why is
has the same numerical value as as as
nature so even in there the highest the
lowest Revelation concealment God is
everywhere and that's actually why it's
called kingom he brings a teaching of
the again you see he's bringing all
the and based on what it says in ethics
of our fathers where it
says when you want to make your name
great you actually lose your name so he
said says that the the nickname and he
brings in the truths of Marik that this
the nickname actually destroys the name
and and and it comes in its place what
what comes in its place the nickname
comes in its place so the same thing
also the losing the name that Hashem
wanted to what create a name for himself
so what happened was he traveled for 500
years up until the lowest lowest places
where God has concealed so know he lost
so to speak the concealment of his name
so know so what happens when he l to
conceal one name so you have you have
the nickname and that is the spiritual
level of the highest level of K all the
way down to which is referring to even
the level of so in other words basically
what he's saying is that the infinite
the infinite part of AEM the at exist
from the highest levels physically to
the lowest levels physically and the
highest levels spiritually to the lowest
level spiritually wherever it is hasem
is
there and then he goes on to say as
follows and like we explained before at
length when we say on the lowest levels
it's also referring to the world of kipa
and also someone that literally is
rebelling against hem so so on this he
brings the verse that it says a powerful
verse
in so if I go up to heaven hasem is
there I go down literally to the abyss
to the lowest level he NE is hero as
well in other
words the lowest level is what is what
is it referring to it's the punishment
for somebody who Rebels against but
nevertheless he says even though go down
to the lowest you're there even in the
lowest level the infinite line ofm is
there and like he brings from the the
again we had the
the that this that we
say So speaking together in other words
just like when I go up to the highest
level you're there the same thing also
when I go to the lowest level you're the
it's the same thing it's not like it's a
different God in heaven and different
God on Earth different God in in in
synagogue and different God in a place
where people are making trouble saying
God all over the place saying God on all
levels from the from the m rebba and and
like he explains over there at length
and that's the whole idea where it
says made both made where God is
revealed and he made God Is concealed
and that's why we see that in on on a
spiritual we have kind
in a spiritual level which we said is
the highest level of ker the highest
level so where does it come from how how
do how do how do you get the energy even
to the highest level it comes through
like it's explained cabala the he of the
head what does that mean and and also
through the hear of of of of the beard
on high why is that because the order to
draw in the energy you can't bring in
the essence of the light it would would
totally blow it up so you have to have
consum you have to contract the light up
to the point you have to have like a a
blockage of the SK of the skull on the
spiritual level and afterwards after you
have the the symptom the the contraction
and you have the the blockage of the
skull you're able to pull out um through
the the hears and specifically through
the contraction and the blockages you're
able to um receive and able to grasp the
light otherwise it' be too powerful so
so so here you see the most the how
powerful the light is cuz if we it's so
powerful that it's too powerful so we
have to pull it out but so you see we're
dealing with a very powerful light and
the same thing also that's on the
highest level in ker comes through the
Cyrus but the same thing also on the
opposite level and that in the place
of that even over there where you have
God in a in in a contracted way and you
and you create more of a contraction
until you get the the proper here is
that the light comes through and and and
that's how you're able to that's how the
light is able to go into the level of
kipot but the point is that you have the
same light on the highest level lowest
they all go through the same syyro one
is the holy syyro the the he and one is
the the the Unholy one and that's why we
know that when it comes to hear by a
woman it's called AA what does that mean
it's AA um because you can have the hear
by a woman it's too powerful us to see
and therefore and therefore has to be
covered however when it comes to a a
Nazarite those here are holy as it says
clearly
inah why is that because by a Nazarite
the hears Are Holy and on the other hand
by woman though hears are coming through
contractions and concealment and
judgment and and and and unfortunately
it can go to the wrong place if you
don't protect it and cover cover it up
but
nevertheless what does it say in the
prophets in other words from the from
the from the stomach of the abys
we reach out to and hasem heard us in
other words literally from from the
abyss we we we understood and we heard
godliness not only that like he explains
over
there that specifically that we through
the punishment of going down into the
lowest levels and we know that pun this
an important idea that punishments in
the t is not God from the punishment God
for it know we know T is all about t is
all about kindness and even even the
punishments that are in it's really all
it's all kindness so that we can go
ahead and get rid of the junk and come
to Great greater good now since but
since there is a punishment going down
to the lowest level so obviously if it's
going down to the lowest level so it's
not don't look at it's going look what's
going to come from it by going down to
the lowest level you can go to the
highest
places and and matter of fact and and it
was worth it to go down to get stuck in
the lowest places so that you can go
through that you can go to the highest
you can go to the higher places and
literally sh we know is lower than the
klipper so therefore he
explains that when you go down to the
lowest places and you go up that the
elevation is based on the the the the on
on the downgrade and like it says in in
the tal it's better to be judged and
then then come to Ultimate to the world
of Truth why is that why is that because
since when you have a heavy heavy
judgment that will bring the greatest
pleasure and greatest good so we see
that even by a person that sinned like
we mentioned before the lowest level the
person sinning it's worse than cipot and
literally rebelling against hem and you
take literally ATT tur you bring it down
to the wrong places but even over there
even in the lowest places the power of
theic discourse the inspiration even
there guess what's there the infinite
light is there literally in the lowest
places Hashem is everywhere the highest
lowest the same the same hasem is all
over
now just like the way Hashem the
infinite light is in the lowest
places the infinite light is there is
not just there in a water down way it's
there in a way of with no limits Ain a
how so the question is how can that
infinite light be in the highest and the
lowest places so he explains because the
light is is simple it's simple when
things aren't complicated it can be all
over when you get complicated that's
when you can't only be here you can't be
there Etc but when it's simple it can be
all over and because it's simple it
could be on the lowest level as well and
from here we see that even when it's in
the lowest level of the light it's there
on the most simple way and it doesn't
get
affected and it doesn't get moved and
doesn't get
uh diluted from being why cuz it's
simple it can tell it it it it
appreciates the highest and it and it
totally connects to the lowest level now
even though we find in many places that
there is a effect and a change and an
effect based on on different things but
D says that all starts from where that
starts from the vessels in the world of
Bria Y and AIA because that's already
materialistic that's the beginning of
yesh and over there yes in the vessels
of Bri a lower light that that that does
get affected and like he brings from at
length from the the re again we had the
the AL
the now he brings from the
the that even in the vessels of so again
so have so he says where does
physicality start in the vessels of
Bri you have vessels in in the world of
but in even in the vessel says even even
though it's called a vessel there's no
change in those vessel it doesn't get
infected or intimidated by by anything
and like he explains based on Foundation
of theic teaching of the AL with the uh
which is handwritten by um the uh the of
the of the of
the based on what it
says and he says like this this is from
the
ZEM
says which is referring to the vessels
of the
world but the vessels only from one your
vessels and other words he he explains
Mone is referring to the
vessels and my vessels is the vessels
ofus your vessels is the vessel of Bri
CC that's already part of creation and
he continues on to explain over there
like explain in the disc
the which is a a book from the from the
M Reb so we have the again with the
commentaries of and he explains the
vessels of since in the world
of that means the light and the vessel
is one so you can't
say that the the that the vessel is
finite and it's God to say something
about about godliness so over there in
the world ofas it's all
one so if that's the case why is it
called vessel if you're saying in the
world of the light and the vessel is all
infinite so why is it a vessel and the
answer is that the vessel is infinite
but from this vessel on its own it's
infinite but it has the power to create
something outside of that silus that
should be finite and that and that and
and that that um that caus is caused by
the tense series of ailos and
specifically by the vessels of ailos and
that's why it's called
M which are vessels in other words
because it creates a vessel for the next
word world but it itself is infinite and
like we see there gives an example way
what applies in in in in US human beings
down here because we know that we are
compared on high and as like for example
you have the the the power of writing in
your
hand so when you sit down to write you
have the power to write and you write
one letter how do you write one letter
with the fingers that you have that you
write a letter
now through these fingers you can write
multiple letters you can write any
letter you want but you're choosing to
write one letter so what happens so even
though you you're limiting it to write
with ink on on on on a parchment only
this this letter even though you have
the power to do all of it so if it works
by human being that we only we limit
ourselves to one write one letter even
though we can write all of them so
obviously in world of aboutus for sure
it's underst understood in other words
how's it possible to have finite in the
world in the worldus know and to limit
something out of it and know how like
and how much more like he brings the ram
says that Hashem and his intellect is
all one and like he like like the famous
line that he says that who he is the the
the knowledge he is the understanding
and he is the thing that's being
understood and that's referring to the
essence but how much more so could you
say it what on the world ofus
okay so what is what is he saying he's
saying is that basically the infinite
light of hem goes all over the infinite
light of the infinite light of hm is all
over and
um and how does he do that is because
he's totally totally s he's totally fine
and totally simple and totally pure and
he says we is and why because in the
world ofus the light and the veget is
totally pure and that's why it can be in
all levels once you come down to the
world of bre then already The Vessel
takes shape and form Etc now and like he
says like we see also in practicality
and he gives a beautiful analogy of this
idea and he gives the analogy of the
difference
between and theat tribes y's brothers so
he says the difference between yph was
that it says in the Torah that he came
to the house to do his work what was his
work he was busy with all the
calculations of the government Etc and
the tribes they they couldn't comprehend
such a thing why is that cuz what what
are the what what's what's the the
Joseph and the brothers the brothers
they took care of sheep know they were
totally in
meditation they were disconnected from
anything physical from worldly Affairs
and they don't want to be bothered with
they just wanted to connect to hasem
they wanted to be spiritual human beings
so what happen was they couldn't
recognize that that somebody like Joseph
could be involved in the world and he
could be the one that's you know second
and command to paroi into a a land which
is Solly decrepit and he could be so
powerful where it says that no one could
no one no one was able to pick up his
hand or anything to ysep and it was
everything of M he ran it but
nevertheless he served hem just like the
world us why is that and he very
explains powerfully beautifully because
y was
worldus in other words y was lived in
this world is's connected to the world
of his spiritual his his his his DNA was
was Aus DNA versus the tribes the
brothers were the world from the world
of Bria and like explained at length in
in in the classical works of the Alan
teror so because of that since he was
connected to atus the world didn't
bother him didn't it didn't it didn't
cause any change or affecting him and
like he like he told the brothers what
did he tell
them in other words
he he's not he's not connected to to the
world of a a BRI he's above it and as he
is down this world just like he's in the
world of
atus up to the point that we find this
as well in later generations and like he
brings the now brings
marash that he says that um and he gives
he brings this idea and he gives an
example way he was Generations
afterwards so he says that the based in
the term it says go via it was revealed
and it was known so he explains explains
what the Rah says in reference to who
he's the one that knows who he's the one
that's known in other words it's
referring to an perspective which is
called um
dasion understanding from from a high
level understanding and then there's
something which is called a lower level
understanding two different two
different perspectives in other words
from the perspective of D you know from
a lowlevel perspective so to speak the
world of Bri so he oh he's the one that
understands which means that was using
like terminologies finite
terminologies that means it was before
he understood and then there's after he
understood or in a way that revealed and
known like he brings to the medas that
um that the thought which is in the
heart of human being was was was was
known is known automatically so in other
words so what he's saying is like this
recap Y and the brothers two different
worlds Y is a world ofus so means he
could be in this world and doesn't
affect him why because even though he's
in this world but he it's all it's all
God the brothers were in this world and
its world so how do you if you involved
in the world how can be with God they
have disconnect the same thing also he
says the perspective above is Hashem
knows he's the knower the knowing it's
it's all
one but in the world of bre what's the
perspective is before the knowledge is
the knowledge is the after knowledge Etc
so basically he he he
explains the AL explains know what we
find that
um that on high everything in the world
so to speak is included on high
and like for example you have different
you know thoughts that can disturb you
trying to focus on God and godliness you
have different thoughts that come but so
why because we're in a finite level but
on high it's all it's all one before
after all the thoughts it's like it's
it's operates a whole different
perspective and like it says in in the
tal when you when they would go in that
we you how do you count you count how do
you count them you count them one by one
in other words that's the way has theine
provers on every single individual
but and and the other hand even though
it's even though it's individual it
doesn't create any confusion how is that
possible so he says that's it's on the
level of like it's go it's known
automatically and we and same ideas just
like just like y didn't affect him
because he was on a higher level same
thing also can know everything but
doesn't affect him now so the question
is how is it possible that there could
there could be a change in in in a in
the light on high and it in like in the
m in the
world in other words because this is
only possible in something which is
called the powers not the light but the
powers and like he like the example he
used before when a person wants the
right that even though the essence of
the soul is higher any any limitations
but the hasn't happen because the the
the power of writing goes through the
hand and it goes through the fingers and
because obviously in higher matus
there's no hand there's no fingers Etc
but how does that work how could it come
down and the answer is because there's a
concept called Hashem could do anything
nothing is nothing nothing is diff
difficult nothing's a contradiction he
can do anything so therefore even
though Inus there is there there is no
there is it doesn't create any
difference but because hasm could do
everything even though notus the vessels
are are infinite but you can affect that
from vessel can cause that the vessels
outside of hiss and like he explained
before from the Reb
marash and that's also explation why you
have the existence of of of a bad and
evil and like it says like it says in
the prophets created he created evil he
created bad know even though how can he
create bad if it doesn't exist in the
world like how how how he create it and
if it's fine and he has the same idea
because what's the source of evil or bad
it comes from the limitation which which
gets created afterwards so it's it's a
it's a it's a it's a deep idea inas it
doesn't exist but from axilus you could
create it in the next World and like and
like he expl like he explains like he
finish off and he says that same thing
also we saw by the leaders of the Jewish
people
and he
brings the like he brings from the from
the mbba the second rebba and based on
what the B says that he he was able to
affect that when he was standing on the
high in so to speak on a high in the
high worlds he was able to even though
he was on a very very spiritual level he
was able to answer about things in this
world now even though in order to answer
things in this world you have to be you
have you have to have your feet in the
ground you have to be be connected this
ground and but the fact is
when he was talking he was so to speak
on on a spiritual level and he like he
like he like he gives the example he
says that in
shabas on chabas he was 2third in the
spiritual worlds and only onethird down
this world and not it wasn't only
because of of of the quality of shabas
because that's he's on a very very high
level and that's why he finished off and
he says but the rest of the week it was
the opposite he was onethird in this
world and two3 in the in in in in the
upper world but nevertheless
it didn't affect him why like he used
the
term that means it's revealed unn to him
so in other words you can have S of both
components on one hand you're
disconnected but other hand you see
everything that's going on and doesn't
affect you that that's the power of y
That's The Power of the other leaders
Etc and that's the power of the world of
ailos that in Aus it's infinite the
light and the vessels are all one but
from there can come out finite so
therefore so there we can understand
from this as follows that even in the
vessels of AOS
there is there is no change and you
doesn't get affected and that's why he
says like the zor says
man my vessels the vessels of AOS which
are which are higher than any any any
limitations but it has the power that
from it can come out finite outside the
world ofus and the same applies to the
infinite
light the way it comes down to this
world to the lowest lowest level even to
the
sinner that even over there it's there
on the most powerful level and even
though it gets involved in it like he
gave the example of and we know that
righteous people are compared to Hashem
that they they're able to answer based
on here but nevertheless it doesn't
create an effect so he what he went
through this whole thing to explain is
that in one hand was saying the infinite
light is here how come it doesn't get
affected and the answer is because it's
an infinite light does not just like in
the world butus it's infinite but it has
the power to create out of it the same
thing also this infernite light can be
in the lowest levels and not be affected
by that just
like Etc
now it's not only because you can't
compare it has no connection like it's
so to speak the infinite light is here
and it's disconnected from the reality
of where it is no that's not enough
because the fact is it's there and the
soul is in the body and the fact is we
know the soul and the body are
opposites but there's something which is
called a the infinite power of hem I'll
say in
Hebrew hasem has the power to take a
body which is physical a soul was
infinite and somehow put them together
and like he gives the the ruling of the
of the he says and after the the soul
comes into the body it does get affected
by the body however when it comes to the
infinite light like so he brings in the
zor that says on based in the verse it
says there's no Holiness like so he says
a different level of Holiness there
different levels ofes but nevertheless
thees that's the highest one why because
Holiness in the level of comes down from
one world to the next so it's holy and
it's separate um because it doesn't
really engage in it but thees
of know is even when it gets involved
even there it's it's Solly disconnected
and it doesn't get involved and doesn't
doesn't get affected saying there's
different levels ofes there a part that
would got if it got involved it would
get affected so it stays disconnected
the power of ir that can get involved
and still still won't be affected like
he gives the example a practical example
and he says like this take for example
if you have
light it goes through um through through
a glass and then you have different
color glasses so you have light and
let's say you have different color
glasses so take for example the example
he is you have a a red glass you have a
green glass and a white glass three
different colors red green and white now
why is you pick these three says cuz
these three uh these three glasses and
these three colors of red green and
white is referring to the three stand
strands of light in all the level of
s which we know red represents the left
side which is Judgment the green is
actually the
center and white is the right side which
is so again red is judgment on the left
the white is on on the right and green
is the center
now when the light comes into the glass
and if somebody looks at the
light through the glass so depends what
color the glass is if you're going to
look at through the red glass you're
going to see red light if you're going
to look through the Green Glass you're
going to see green GL green light and if
you look through the white you're going
to see white but the question this is
did the light change no it's the same
light the glass is creating an obscured
vision of and you're seeing the light
differently even though obviously the
light has some kind of relation with the
glass because obviously it's fitting in
in there and and and and and because
that you can say that that that that
that after when you look at it you're
seeing green light or red light or or
white light but the fact
is how could that be because the light
is infinite and even when it comes down
in here it stays pure so the the light
doesn't change it's the glass that
creates creates a difference so
therefore in everything in in the human
beings Even in our highest powers that
we have take for example the power of
intellect SE intellect which is a power
it's not a life of power so that the the
power in our intellect is not light it's
it's more of a power and and it's not
it's not it's not it's not a simple
light it's complicated and like he
brings from the re rashab again we're
going we're going through different
we're holding reab he brings at length
that the power of Lent
intellect even though you can say it
doesn't
change because that's seeming like he
would say because the fact is the first
revelation it's intellect when when as
the intellect comes from the essence of
the
soul but
nevertheless it's already a level of a
power and it's not not light and the
fact is in power in a in a power there
is room for Change and to be affected
and that's why we see that an in
intellect which is the first Power that
even though comes from the soul we see
that there's a a internal intellect and
there's an external intellect there's a
deeper intellect and there's more of a
uh loose
intellect now and this is not only only
because of the the the refinement of the
vessel of of the of the of the of the
brain that's thinking because in know
words somebody has more of a refined
brain um he's able to receive something
more deeper and something it's not
refine gets more of like a superficial
level because if it was only from the
refinement of the actual brain so it's
then you wouldn't have the possibility
to have a deeper intellect and and more
of a fluid intellect because it would
have to do with the brain if it's all
about the brain so whatever the whatever
level brain you have but the fact is we
see that the more a person uh thinks and
and uses use uses the
brain it it should be able to receive
more light and we see the fact is the
opposite after you stand something very
very deep you can have something you can
understand something more on a
superficial level so you see it's not
about the the brain itself it's the fact
it's about the power of the intellect
and the power does
change and you also can say it's because
I'm busy thinking thinking about this
and now I'm I'm going to think about
something else if I can this this is
more deeper and that's more more more
Lucid Etc why because you can find
something you're thinking about
something very very deep and you get all
the details of it and but then then you
start thinking the external part of it
so obviously you must say that when it
comes to intellect it's not because of
refinement of the brain but this this
there's literally changes in the
intellect and that's why it's
called and not so other when it comes to
light just like we use the example for
the with the light in the glasses light
doesn't change light is pure it's simple
Etc power like for example the brain
that does
change and it's not like we find that in
reference to light you I'm say there's
differences for example just like
there's a difference between internal
intellect and external in you going to
say there a difference between the light
of the Sun the light of the moon or the
light of the of a c or a torch no but
there that's not a difference in the
light itself this is a this is the light
that's connected to the to to to the sun
this is a KN connected to the moon and
this is a KN that's connected to the
candle or to a torch so that's why but
but the any light is the same and he
continues on to explain that even that
we see that in light when it comes down
lower it's not the same intensity as as
its SES and that's because light is a
creation but when you're dealing a
regular light but when you're dealing
with the light of the infinite part of
hem which is infinite in
essence so even when it comes down it's
the same power because nothing changes
and it's not
affected so D is saying is like this
that when it comes to is simple the
highest the lower a like intellect that
changes now there is a light that gets
weaker finite light but the infinite
light is the same from the highest level
to the lowest level so the infinite
light of kar is all over now and this is
how he actually finishes off this
chapter and he explains how it's
possible that literally in the lowest
level again low we talking about Ino and
person Rebels
Etc the infinite light is all over and
later on the chapters afterwards he he
continues and he finishes off and he
explains the idea that this that we say
that the O is on the highest
level and where it's there and it's in a
way of No
Limit and these two components the
highest and the lowest is called or
light now what is light light what's the
essence of light light is
revelation so this powerful gift that
hasem is on all levels is like
Revelation but this is and that's what
we have but there say this doesn't come
to the treasure because we spoke before
the beginning that hasem gives us the
the the highest light but not only the
light but he actually gives us the
treasure now even
though this light is much higher than
the way what we normally have access to
and it's obviously a much powerful light
and that's why for example when it comes
down to the lowest level doesn't change
but the fact is um so light is all about
Revelation however a treasure is
concealed and it's not about Revelation
but but we have so both components and
this powerful light from the highest
levels to the lowest level and this
treasure we give to every single Jew who
is part of the God's Army why do we give
why do we have why do we have these
Treasures the light and the treasure so
we can go out to spiritual war the war
starting with the Yar with the evil
Incarnation like we know it says the
evil the the the evil inclination that
we all have within us which is the AAR
and we go in a way of we're going to be
we're going to be successful like he
explains in the talmud what is it
referring to building of Jerusalem that
you build within yourself of Jerusalem
what is what is a spiritual personal
Jerusalem that we have year Shalom we
have complete offer hasem that we can do
it how do we do it when we do our
spiritual work of a serious NE self-
sacrifice and which as we said is higher
than anything that we have
intellectually and even the highest
levels of intellect and that's The
Treasure of being or or for hem and
every single one of us have this
treasure we all have the treasure what's
the treasure treasure
mes how do we have it we have it because
it's a part of that's within us the the
part of our soul the most powerful part
of our soul that we receive from the
from from the one
Hashem and through the
fact that we go ahead and we and we and
we we pull out this treasure and we use
it in our spiritual work of M nepes and
we will be successful in the war and
we'll we we AFF that we that Hashem will
release all the treasures that we that
that he gives us all the powerful
Treasures even higher than the Which is
higher know that's one level he gives us
that but he gives us even deeper Tre
treasures and that's the whole idea
where it say in the medis that when many
people went to the city some people said
oh they want
that they want this and other person
said they they they're excited about
something else but what one person said
the one person excited about a horse
officer Etc but the smart person said
what do I want I want Hashem himself and
that was the spiritual work of the alter
and
afterwards and he and he said it and he
and he made it made it public that he
said in heaven and earth I I don't want
your Heaven I your your lower your your
lower level of Gaden I don't want your
higher level Garden of Eden I only want
you he says
in I don't want your lower level of I
don't want you g your higher level G I
want you Hashem and this is what we
demand from every single one of us that
we should say focus and we should
say we want the king himself we want
himself what and what do we want not a
level we want Atmos you want the essence
of hem which is even higher than the
the infinite life which is on the
highest level and the lowest level and
how do we affect that when we person is
