Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Chapter 45 - Compassion can arouse great love.

welcome to tag so Tanya class we are studying hey Rick mm hey chapter 45 and tanya and as always every chapter is unique every chapter has its special message and tonight's champion tongue is a very very important chapter in as the author of teachers are a unique and special way to create a loving and awesome relationship for God because also if we know we have an opportunity to connect to God how do we connect regard to toe wrestling toga doing miss holt and praying as we learnt in Tanya when you study Torah so you're connecting to go through Torah and when you do mitzvah when you pray you're connecting to God but if you do it like a robot mechanically so it's great but everything fits all the godly inspiration sense it doesn't move in order for the Torah and mitzvot to move on high and to connect you with God through the 10th year olds you have to do that by wat by having a venir o by being in love with God and being in awe of God that is a fuel that will take you to the highest places and we focus for many for many chapters last couple of weeks tonight in chapter 45 pair chrome hey the author introduces a new message new at least for Tanya here too to achieve this tremendous love for God and that name of that method is called rahaman rockland English means what compassion compassion and the author explains very simple that we know we spoke about alva love we put wet euro or and now we're going to progress compassion what is the difference between love or compassion for the author explains like this that are from a V New avram our forefathers he represented what club the world for God around love God and basically he gave it to us and inheritance his was garage being all gods and yeah Cole who's a third of the patriarchs he personified recommend compassion and this yeah call the personified compassion through the compassion you're able to achieve the greatest hike with ultimate ultimately to serve God out of love now what does that mean to have compassion so it's brought down actually in the ZOA and it sounds like did that what is compassion compassion he was Rahman what's rockin in so it doesn't so like this that cup said which is kindness which is Abraham the resembles idea of what spiritually minded mortar lot of water goes down right the penetrate so customers when you give right you get from yourself to someone else is going so to speak not typically but from a higher place our spiritual what are you giving this on my aim has a power that goes through that is locked anything anything of water you think about custard you think our kindness using what love in the word Rock'em in rockland is made up of two part two words of big race caste and then mine the last part of rock a min is my am from ryan you see ours in the word of rockland in the first half of the word racecraft rage has Merkle's 208 and Yitzhak the second of patriarchs which resembles what guru his numerical values over 200 need you to 10 Sonic is 90 crust is 8 and cookies 100 20 8 so you prefer just 28 resembles the race caste of Rahman and I'm from the mining represent represents what or presents the the be custom which is also in rockland so you see that ransom has sort of thing a blend and a mixture of Allah and Europe and that creates ultimately the most nicest balance so when a person evoke recommend then you can have tremendous ABBA so the author explains how do you evoke rocking them she's very simple it sold our opening a meditation what is that works in meditation of rockland because the person thing for a moment he says oh my gosh who created the world God created the world who created me gone crazy God gave me a physical body and open God gave me in the summer what is in the summer honest um as a part of God and this part of God is within me every one of us have a part of God within up with a godly spark within us that allows us to live and thrive and have an amazing life so we all have a part of God within us now this part of God that we have within us where was before came into her body was in heaven in a great place in other words as the altima described it it was connected with the infinite life hiya haha in the life itself the source of all life so think about it this infinite life that was connected with the infinite power of God would light itself the source of life has to take a train a jet however it traveled down here down down that's not only not physically hi love it's virtually it left this infinite place for God's revealed its left the place where the source of life and it comes down to this physical materialistic world which we know is a place which God has concealed not only God can feel the God allowed we both and sicker accra things that don't have any respect or any recognition of God and godliness to exist in this physical world so think about it this shoal was like basking in the glory of God and it's over here in this dark place for so you think for a moment what is Rahman was compassion let's say for example you have a good friend good friends a real good friend you spent a lot of time with the person you could be a friend there can be a family member and you know you live in a community with them and one day to go for a walk out in the forest may get lost the huge forest and nobody can find it you can't find them so someone that you're close to someone that means something to you you start feeling bad what do you feel bad because never the person your friends your relative is in danger it's not with a family not with the community it brings out a certain sense of rock manos and as you think about this what happens now now you started bolting feeling for this friend or their family I Maddie never had before what happened because if somebody is going to a tough time and when someone's going to a challenge and when someone's more it's a natural thing if you're human at least to have recommended take the same thing if you think for a moment about the godly spark that came down to your body into your life to be with you it's lost it's like your friend the relative that's lost in the forest the place of an astronomer is not in the physical body can find her body materialistic confined body it's the places in heaven so this soul is lost locked up in a body was the elderly uses the expression of a lower expression is from Kabbalah last for the Hideo which basically like a like the skin of a snake which is like the essence of creep old creep out of the shell with godliness is not reveal their that's what about it after the solar now so two parts to it one is look where it was it was a heaven and the second part is then you watched away came down to a place where it's concealed got God's not revealed and it's here where was where it came to that's point number one point number two it's living in your body it means it's part of your family your unique your your immediate family with you and every single time you don't do a little that you could do or on the country now don't you don't obviously you could do you actually transgress one of the 365 negative Commandments hiking the soul feels you're doing the antithesis of God one you have a missile do right now whether it's a prey was to study what is your Mitzvah was to give charity and you don't do it has no soul feels oh my gosh very painful or if you do one of the three hundred and sixty five megatons you should nothing you go do it anyway what in your soul feels torture it's not a comfortable environment the soul was in a place where everybody gives what God wanted everybody is connected to God it comes down to this materialistic world and busy this one the counter everything counts as a godliness to the author affairs when you think about the fact where the soul was where the soul is and not only where it wasn't where it is but even and especially after god forbid never Hussein sometimes you don't do what supposed to I mean shouldn't that evoke compassion within you now what happens once you have compassion now the emotions start good emotion stuff coming out now you have this love for God look he allows the godly spark to come down to this world he allowed the godly sparks to come and hang out with your human beings that are not angels we do make mistakes so that we should have a godly spark within us now when you start praying whenever you meditate this before you pretty before you study or before you do a little uh it's a hold of a missile it's all different rains all of the study why's it is now you've evoked a connection with your Garvey soul and you wrote the feeling for it and you want to make the garlic so filled but it's like let's see for example you friend is finally brought down and they find him after a three-day search 24 hours a day when you see the child that I go an adult how do you what kind of what he feelings here for the child oh my god you're so happy to be alive she's alive the same thing also when you think meditate about your soul before you go to pray before you go to study and before you go to do a missed one answers in your praying you're really really praying because you're excited that you're allowing your soul to feel comfortable that if you have a place in this world that he can also feel a connection to God in a real way or he feels it removed through Torah study you can have like a loving relationship with god you're taking that soul Adam and add a prisoner on a certain level what were you doing a bit so he feels great and you want to definitely warm it'll be should feel even better and so on and so forth now how do we have this within us the officer says that just like we know that Abraham gave us inheritance idea for loving of God Yakel gave us as an inheritance Vance idea to have that compassion real compassion for God and he brings down and your story where it's brought down the Bible's written Torah where when yakel went who left his parents house so look for sure though you went to look for life so he came and he met the famous story in the Torah where you met Rachel at the well and it says that bye-bye ye shock Yaakov the Rocco guanaco fleets Rachel he goes ahead and gives her a kiss and he picks up his voice and he cries and then he tells her the whole story everyone asked a simple question I mean what kind of crazy thing is yaakov meets a woman on the street goes over and kisses her and then he stays then he starts crying and then he tells it all stories as at work I mean even record evil don't do that I'm not going on today programs are civilized societies right maybe I was his name does he speak of line that wasn't say okay okay so the commissaris a very simple enough the tourist telling us what happens those the end what happened the odeon happen is he kissed her what brought about that he should get through then poor explains goes back on explains what happened they met and he told her who use and where he's from and then he cried and then the kiss cam at the end those tourists telling you like backwards this is what the end product was it was a kid how does it happen d clothes are also he met her and told the whole story and they spoken he went on a date right and he cried for a set of them now what does that mean the Torah tells my story tonight sorry nice romantic story right we always say you know read the Torah little imagination you have to go to the movies the best story goes and power all this good stuff in there but Wymer tells a story because we know that it's not only a physical store happen in the past but it's really a spiritual story wine because the coins Kabbalah what is Rachel isn't resemble Rachel resembles the Jewish people Yaakov as we know we gambled what the meat of raha Miller compassion of which world a world of experience so Yakko compassion from I salute me to lease the Jewish people we Rachel personifies Jewish people and he gives her infuses of her the power of rockland apparent compassion when she looked and that's why each and every one of us we got to create compassion we have convention from an inheritance one who lose a cup he gave it with them our job is to reveal it our job is to revealing how do we reveal it how do we reveal it so one thing is what I can explain before bike that meditation and think about regard the godly spark was in heaven the cane after this world once it came down to this world all the things that we're doing you feel bad for it so then what do you want to do you want to fold your soul to have a compassionate relationship with God on the level of what a kissing relationship with God how do you do that the after explaining them there's three levels of creative bonding the lowest level is when a person sits down and you take out a homeless you can get a mission is you take out some Kabbalah they got a Tonya whatever you you're starting wherever you like in Judaism edris whatever it may be Talmud Mishnah and you sit down in your study tumblr when you sit down to study Torah so it's you use your mom use your mind your heart your feelings and your Torah whose tori is studying at Scott's camera so any time you're sitting and studying Torah that's like you're having a romantic relationship with God one as if you were like kissing God well I bet to think about it when you're studying Torah is your you and it's always in the book when you're starting it what are you doing you're taking the total into you in your mind in your heart and your whole body sometimes we are excited about it so that's called a previous relationship internal relationship of God so anytime you're starting Toto you're creating a free booklet seeking you're creating a connection which is almost like a physical kiss think about using the mouth right reasons we read the words you're saying you have feelings for it you're creating a loving beautiful relationship with God but then that's called what a kiss we know in the relationship design legions a kiss there's also hugging adding your carpeting so the author explains hugging his accounts by doing a mitzvah why is that because what I was thinking you're invincible irrelevant what are you putting on tefillin buddy keeping kosher Shabbat or whatever the rest is 613 commandments so what is a 240 a positive or the 365 negative you're not internalizing within you its a mix are you doing externally so you put outside of Missoula you put on the doorpost survive life it's the day that you observe that is like a hug so basically everything you're putting out and throw in that's like a hug with God you kissed the mobility purposes you get familiar it's a hug with God knows its external it wraps you around is too powerful to be internal Shabbat every Shabbat you observe Shabbat that's called a weekend hug from God write a whole weekend get a hug from that does not feel good Shabbat yeah you know I cuz God hugging you and you're all you're allowing about you god help you in survive the questions do you allow him and you feel it but you think about you're going to feel the hug because that's what happens anything you do a mitzvah but then the author the says is a higher level of a kiss two levels of kissing the lower level you just study Torah and then here's a higher level if you're actually literally kissing gone deeper than a hug when is that that is when you study Torah but not only do you study Torah but you meditate on the Torah study when you meditate on the Torah study don't happens you're using your intellect but not only it's like deep intellect and when you use your deep into let you know what happens you connect on a much deeper level even more than a hug so in other words it's three levels one basic level you study Torah it's okay what God you do a mitzvah your hundred God but then when you study talk with you actually meditate on you think about you close your eyes you really connect to the concepts that you're studying that's called the ultimate kiss with God but what's interesting is even though that Torah study is primary force is a kiss it also has the close of a hug in there too just like mixed for even a primary experience the hogs but also have the aspect of a kiss as well they have both the question of the dominant force but ultimately with the outer rings out the goal of creating this compassion which creates this real loving relationship of God on the level of a kids from the level of a hog whatever level might be also meet the goals 1 goal what is the goal the goal is that when asking you around within yourself that compassion through meditation or where the soul was where the soul is and the challenges it has you know what happens you create this Avva rabba high level of love that low level of high level of love very very powerful hi love God loved this tremendous love for God and this is what about what food idea of Rahman so in other words the author explains that this chapter is that it's almost like a hole as a shortcut but in a certain way it's an easy way to create an experience of God a really powerful experience of God a powerful experience of studying Torah doing the clothes and praying that's the basics but to do it with loving the law by meditating on the fact that the soul came down to this world the fact of the soul is struggling this world you have compassion you evoke compassion with the soul and when you evoke the compassion of the soul your spirit of Yaakov gate with each and every one about that me will have real compassion will create the deepest relationship as we call it in the words of the Kabbalah like a kissing relationship a hugging relationship with God that will bring out such compassion that the flow for God the flow of love for God will be flowing and you'll experience true I have a robot true great love and there's nothing like being in a great and loving relationship with God
