Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Chapter 6 - The Path Living A Holy Life

so we're studying chapter six in Tania and today we're going to explore and get into the nephesh how Bahamut that we have and as we know we have two souls yeah we all have a godly soul and we have an animal soul and we discussed until now was the spiritual components of the godly soul it was its intellect its emotions its garments thought speech and action today we're gonna talk in depth about the animal souls intellect emotions and thought speech and action in other words like this you know you think God would make it simple but I don't think you get more complicated than this in other words as follows if a person had one soul so if it's a godly soul life is simple you do you know you you think godly things you go to synagogue you pray you study Torah you do it slow yeah life is wonderful right if you only have an animal soul fine eat drink be merry be happy party it doesn't it doesn't si mean if do bad things or evil things this means just a physical materialistic life yeah true you can do also bad things too but it would also be simple here God gave us and every one of us has a godly soul and an animal soul in the same body it's like two people in a car both trying to grab the state of one steering wheel okay so in other words so in order to really understand what the struggle is we really need to understand what the animal soul is okay so we're going to today we're going to go into the animal soul or it's called nephrons of Bahamut his intellect his emotions and his garments namely thought speech and action and to see the contrast how it operates differently then the godly Souls intellect emotion and thought speech and action Cosima Lee intellect is in fact right emotion is emotion thought speech and action of sort speech in action but you'll see it as a major difference and that is as follows in other words the animal soul before we do the difference let's get the players down the animal soul has a full set of intellect what does that mean just like the GAVI soul it has Karma you can convert ideas as bina it has the ability to develop an idea it has das the ability to apply the idea all the world of intellect full access to its own set doesn't it the bar from the godly so it has its own in terms of the emotions full set of all the emotions has a guru to Ferris that's what he sowed and mouth was in other words the simple terms it has its ability to be emotionally charged and whatever it wants totally its disposal then it has its own set of thought who knows when the animal soul takes over and starts thinking it could begin negative starts or could be just neutral materialistic pursuits of physical pleasures whether it's you know food their clothing cars whatever it may be its thinks about it and then when it constantly talks about it and when it acts on it it's fully in charge of that area of its life now so what is the difference between the godly soul and the animal souls intellect and emotions and thought speech and action so today we're focusing more on the animal soul but we still want to have a contrast another difference because in theory it's the same players what's the difference and here is a profound but simple difference and that is as follows the godly soul the way it operates it operates is a word in Hebrew called King and England in the the Hebrew word is Mela Malik has a king what is the difference of a king a king is a ruler what does it mean a king is a ruler you know when you rule there's structure there's law and order there's a system Mela has spelled out with three letters mem la mid and final huff which stands for Moya lathe and cubby Moya has intellect lady's heart and kool-aid is delivered which refers to obviously the action so intellect emotions are laid the heart emotions and cover the action wasn't in practically the the order of a king what comes first in King what's the first letter Moya what is my up intellect so as when the King approaches for example let's see there you know king deals with major stuff something what the King has to deal with a war should be wage or shouldn't we wage wars we wage war now should we wait chouhi wait should we get someone else to wage the war force whatever the strategy is you think he does that by shooting from the hip all right let's wake up today oh let's go ahead tack that's not gonna work too long because if you don't plan you're gonna get obliterated so you have to plan it out keep the strategy always online is a place to wait sometimes maybe not to wait sometimes you have to act quicker but the point is there's a strategy there's think tankers and sit the whole day and think and strategize what the right thing to do in other words the expression is you measure Y twice and cut once all right that's what a king does a king thinks things through Mela Moyock he thinks it through things have all different possibilities all the options all the sides and then from there okay guys we're getting excited going to war we're gonna win the war right and then they gladly wage the war but what always comes first with the Kings approach Maya into the planning always comes first there's no shooting from the hip there's no execution without it without a clear plane the better the plan the better the success obviously there's God runs the world you get the best plan God but with you talking taking God in the consideration part of the plan is or pray to God but the point is there has to be a plan that is the definition of what I'm a king and that's exactly how the godly soul operates the godly Souls doesn't wake up in the morning okay guys what am i doing today no no ready the 90 for the night before you say Krishna you say smile you think about how your day was you think about the good things they're not so good things things you need to work on and you have a plan for tomorrow what time am I getting up we're gonna pray the first thing in the morning I have to go study I have to go what if I'm working or whatever whatever the the plan is there's a clear plan constantly and you can see redefining the plan and adjusting the plan based on what's going on but the godly soul by definition is always working on a plan refining his plan and making sure his plan is aligned with his values and his vision and his dreams of life and what God wants and so on and so forth once the plan is in place then no problem go for it therefore what happens later on in your thought your speech an action there's no there's no things that just creep into your thoughts there's a plan what you're gonna be thinking about there's a plan what you can be doing with you they there's a plan before you open your mouth a wise person thinks first you think before you open your mouth so then when you open your mouth or something comes out I'll guess what it's a thought-out thing that's it makes sense it's a great deal and then obviously be sure when it comes to the world of action whatever you're doing was based on a specific plan that is the world of the godly soul the animal soul operates totally different the same three letters of melih king if you rearrange it and you put the llama before the men that means you put the lave the heart the emotions before the intellect you have the same letters la made men huff and that smells that produces a word called lemma a cloud in other words what is the definition of a clown somebody the first thing he does is has a feel is it look good does it feel good there's a taste good boom that is basically what alumni cuts so the animal soul comes first what the let dilemma which is la la made men cough that means he walks into our room it was no plan what he's gonna do what are you doing tomorrow I don't know I'll see when I get up so you know already he wanted you get when are you getting up whatever once you get up what are you doing I don't know I'll see right let me see what's going on huh I'll let you know tomorrow what I did exactly what happened what happened at the end of the day it probably wasn't a great day what you love doing and nothing really much what's going on tomorrow same thing same thing so the way a lemnoc works the way the animal soul works the emotions always come first comes first so what does that mean the emotions comes first what what's what's the plan what's the plan there's no plan how I feel think in a practical way another example let's say you decide you want to uh say you want to go on a diet right so if you want to go on a diet you have it you make a plan whatever the die it's gonna be and based on that that's what you that's what your file you follow it and guess what if you follow the diet you'll be successful worms have you not gonna die yeah whatever whatever we're depends what's there that's not a diet you'll end up you know you're not gonna you're not gonna gain you're not gonna lose just gonna be all over the place spiritually also so for the animal soul what comes first the emotions now because the emotions come first and there's no plan so what enters in your what enters in your in your thoughts guess what whatever's there so who who's influencing what goes into your thoughts anything oh it's in front of you the TV's on and it's horror stuff that's all you're gonna be everything your horror stuff that's you're gonna dream about a night also and that's when you realize that's an m1 that's what you're gonna talk about also and you might end up doing it and this actually studies about you know children adults that watch TV and they watch all these you know insane stuff horror things they are doing these things why because that's what they saw so that came out I knows whatever goes into your intellect in your emotions that's gonna come out of thought speech and action so if you plan it then you'll have a planned thought which is gonna be healthy and spiritual and godlike and so on and so forth and your speech is gonna be that way too and you're actually not gonna be that way but if you're gonna be like in love for Bahamas which basically means what you're just gonna go by based on how you feel what's going to come out of your thoughts whatever whatever's there so here lies the major difference between the animal souls approach to life and the garden soul the godly soul has a plan until uh comes first and the animal soul has no plan whatever whatever feels like that will come into this thought speech and action so comes along the altar of in the outdoor cells like this that this not having a plan and this just going by how it feels it takes your thoughts speech in action and contaminates it worse than your animal soul and he explains as follows with an introduction we know that there is something which is called kedusha what does kedusha holiness godliness right gods revealed and then there's something which called khalipa now what does cleave I mean cleaver the literal translation means the shell or there's another term which might be more easy to understand called Citra occur on the other side what does that mean the other side it means very simple if you see and you feel garden everything then you connected to God and you can choose to do that by praying and studying and meditating and therefore you'll be able to see God and everything and you'll look for God in everything you'll see it or you'll look for it so if a person has sees God over a person is looking for God what are you busy with God so either you see God or you're looking for God so even if you don't see a right number as long as you're looking for him you really you really connected to God maybe not they revealed were you actually touching on but you you as long as you're looking that's where you are and as the expression is in the place where your sword is that's where you're at so if you're searching for God you're with God right now just because you didn't find him yet doesn't mean you're not with God then there's the opposite of kedusha we're guess what it's not about God what's it about anything other than God now what does that mean and it's a fine line because ultimately is there a place and a thing in this world that God that God doesn't exist no God is all over there's no place there's no thing there's nothing in this world God doesn't exist so how can you say that a person is either connected to God not going to God the answer is very simple because in this physical world is God revealed or concealed God's gonna field so either you train yourself to see God and you know you're loud you're not allowing the concealment to run your life or your searching for God so therefore you're focusing on God but worries if you'd if you don't meditate on God and if you don't think about God and if you aren't looking for God this world you're gonna see physical things you'll see a table you'll see a chair you'll see I mean you can see bad things too but even neutral things you're not gonna see God in the neutral world so Dan is called clipper it's called Sitra Achra which means that God is concealed a fancy word for God is concealed in the Kabbalistic terminology now when God is concealed there's different levels to concealment what does that mean there's different levels for concealment very simple we're just like what God has revealed God is revealed and this is different level is revelation and the same thing with the concealed is different levels so I'll tell you the words of Kabbalah and then I'll explain to you practically what that means we'll start from the from the lowest level of concealment so the Prophet he says that he had a vision he saw a fiery wind a dark cloud and the burning fire referring to three powerful impure clip oat which refers to very very deep concealment of God and it's interesting he used the term fire cloud and wind which refers to your thoughts speech in action now what does that mean practically that he that he saw this wind that was so windy that while God was totally like concealed to the level we it wasn't even able to elevate it like for example take for example there are things in the Torah the Torah tells us we cannot eat can't eat it many things that territorials can eat it wasn't you can't eat it that means there's no godly spark that we couldn't see and we can elevate so the reason why it's forbidden to eat means it's tied up into the impure clip oat that we do not have the power to elevate so the Torah says for example don't need don't eat X and you want to go ahead and eat it first of all you shouldn't make a blessing because you're going against God but more important in a spiritual level you don't have the power to elevate it so that is like for example food but then there are certain thoughts that we do not have the power to elevate and there's certain places we love the power to tell them eat and if we don't go there so that goes into the category of what the three impure clipart then there's something which is called what clip out Noga no bezel interesting word nova means is touching what means touching they mean it's neutral frankly it's it's a neutral it's a neutral energy mean to say his when you look at it you don't see God or godliness but then again it's not forbidden you have the power either to elevator to not elevate it so for example take a table and a table something which is forbidden no you can't take from dinner could do you see God now if you had specialized you can see it right but let's say you don't see God so it's a table you don't see God it's not forbidden so what is it so it's neutral what means neutral you can take it you can buy it bring it into a synagogue use it put down a book sit down and have a study session guess what you've taken this piece of wood that was neutral and you validated it take your house a house right you bought a house you rent it out so you built the house yeah furniture there is it holy it's mundane its physical is it something which you can't elevate no you go into the house you hang up the mezuzah you make a blessing you study Torah you pray you put down a charity box to you some charity guess what you've taken the whole energy in the house and you've elevated it it's neutral it's neutral you've elevated now so you're never about hominis your animal soul is it godly no is it from the three things that can't be elevated no so what is it it's basically in the category of cleep at Noma it's in the middle it's neutral you can either inspire it to make a blessing to be excited about going to shul when you're going to shul or you get excited about doing a lid slow so you can elevate the nervous of Mohammed you can go both ways but in its core it but Noga it's basically not to the right that's a lot that's right in the middle you can transform it okay so that is what what are we talking about that is your never show Bahamas however what happens to your thought speech and action when you go ahead and your thoughts you start thinking things which you now want to think about from it relationships erroneous thoughts negative thoughts you want to hurt thinking of hurting some god forbid right or with your mouth you say things which are inappropriate or if your actions your feet your hands you go do something which is inappropriate and you did something which you cannot elevate so now that we don't just do something Clippard Noga that's something which is borderline but you actually did things you cannot elevate what I'm see a thought speech and action right now garments when tear your garments the garments become soiled but on a worse level than your animal soul because your aunt also is neutral can go both ways that's all it's a neutral it's neutral territory you but your thoughts speech in action by your actions and by your speech and your thoughts by allowing it to follow your animal soul and not bringing God into it guess what you're doing right now you're actually downgrading your thought speech in action it's like taking a nice jacket or a nice shirt and getting it all dirty it's no true but now you got it so dirty it has to go through a major cleansing process if you ever kaiser process now that's obviously in an extreme case were you doing something you shouldn't be doing so for example you transgress 1 to 365 commandment negative precepts or you do something which is forbidden and so on and so forth here the altar of in this chapter of Tanya it comes up with a revolutionary idea and he says like this he almost creates he takes away the gray area and he makes a black and white so in a way in one hand it becomes a little more a little more small stringent but the other hand he makes the process of you very very simple you know the gray area the gray area of life this pros and cons what everything the pro is it's great for the con is that it's great the album comes will say let's take away the gray in it there's no green there's right and there's left the Bennett the pro is a we're now being reliving the options but in the other hand making it very very clear he's creating a clear distinction he says like this very simple you know what's kedusha you don't you know what holiness is very simple you are right now thinking about God seeking God talking about God doing what God wants whether it's pray or whether it's Torah study whether it's a mitzvah whether you're excited about it better you know like a project to help someone or to study whatever it what you're busy with you're busy you're busy on all levels thought speech and action with God godliness that is kedusha and then he goes very simple anything obviously there's a strange but anything not that anything not that it's not kedusha so true there's something which is called three impure clip ODEs which is obviously that's you don't want to go there then there's the neutral stuff which is its for example let's see let's say let's say a person sits down to enjoy dinner right you're hungry you worked all day you came home I want to eat and you sit down to enjoy dinner you didn't think about God at all during that dinner did you do a bad thing no you were sitting down eating dinner right comes along the altar but now it says no no no we're not saying you did a bad thing but right now if you and you're eating dinner you're not thinking about oh my gosh God thank you so much for reviving me thanks for producing this now I have energy you know to be able to get through you know tonight I put the kids to bed or study or to have energy tomorrow if you're not thinking about God you are not in the kedusha Lane so know this point is it's not that you're in the neutral territory true it's you didn't do a bad thing no one's trying to say hey you're a bad boy god forbid everything's wonderful but the point is kedusha holiness it's not so holy there's holiness and is the opposite of holiness and it makes it very very clear very clear black and white distinction what is the distinction very simple the distinction is if at this moment or any moment you're thinking about God you are talking about God you're doing what God wants or you're searching for God you're in the kedusha zone you plugged in with God anything other than that whatever level it's at whether it's the three impure clip old Cleveland Olga whatever you whatever level you want to call it it's not God it's not kedusha kedusha is your focus and who are you with you with God grateful absolutely yes great being grateful being with God absolutely absolutely so in other words so the animal soul both of intellect and emotions and thought speech in action what is the definition of the animal soul he's driving the car when you're not thinking about God as long as you're thinking about God godly souls running the world your world and you go together under the category of being a Carlos a holy person right now holy meaning God is right now running through your lines and whatever possible lines thought speech action etc anything that God's not with you now correct we're gonna get the in a minute okay okay so now comes along the altar when he says great so I created a very very clear distinction so obviously what do we want who doesn't want to have think we've got who doesn't yet with God every moment we all want to be with God so the question is you can think oh my gosh how am I gonna be how can you be with God every single moment so the algebra says very very simple he says what does it mean to be with God wasn't mean to be with God you're you're looking for God you with God you're thinking about God right you're talking about God you're acting on God he says how do you do that has one bond the karmic debt she said it's very very simple who runs the world the God right the minute is an eye that's now you're going out of Kalusha and knows the minute there's an eye there's my thoughts my ideas write me go be pushing that out and you're going away from the Kalusha zone so therefore the Altima explains very simple you want to be with God key word and this is all throughout necessary a person has to be humble and Hebrews called Battelle you have to humble yourself so as long as you humble yourself and your practice humility guess what God's with you whatever you do how does one go about becoming humble so there's many ways to do that here in this chapter doctor he gives it very simple very simple recipe how to become humble very simple you want to become humble what does humble mean humble is not the guff of God wants to make you a nobody no no you are a talented smart sophisticated emotionally develop human being he's not trying to break you god forbid it's not humility humility means on the contrary God is with me God is my partner so how do I mean God is my partner he gives a very simple recipe you know the simple recipe is go to the bookshelf take out Amish ticket omission is take out a book of mysticism start studying Torah the minute you start studying Torah what are you doing you're pushing yourself aside and you're allowing God's data God's information God's will and wisdom to create place in your life so every moment that you study Torah irrelevant what spiritual emotional state you're in you couldn't be in the most giving the worst mood right and you can be upset about anything and everything I say stop hold on a second let's get a Hamish let's stop learning commish we'll get back to you mood soon right but meanwhile let's let's take ten minutes alone Comus let's take ten minutes and learn some Tanya what happens now your mind shifts what goes now through your washing machine of your thought whatever you reading accomplish whatever you reading in Tanya right whatever you reading in the Talmud or if you're praying right so guess what happen right now you shifted a state where was all about you and that's why you were upset and I'm a good mood to being what peaceful and the great mood why because when God is in the driver's seat in your life you don't you don't exist there so wouldn't you're in a bad mood you basically allow God to take over your life so if God took over your life the whole the only way you can be in a bad mood if there's a you if you exist you can be in a bad mood but if you don't exist where's the bedroom coming from it's an impossibility if you exist you can have the option to be in a good mood or in a bad mood you can choose right no no but here's deeper but here he's saying is the minute you say you know - hold on you know what let's change the channel let's get down to gets got onto God's channel right let's let's see what's on today's news and commerce right let's see what's on in the news saying listen I write commission and there you go and let's see what a taxes a missus and you sit down and you start studying you start studying you know a Torah guess what happens oh my gosh you disappeared for a few seconds and if you can keep those seconds going where God is like number one in the room guess who's not number one you and your mood you and your moods and let me tell you something is God ever in a bad mood never he's always in a good mood so their ultimate says you want a simple way to have kedusha in your life go to the synagogue or in your house or call up a friend on the phone say let's learn a little bit you take now an hour and sit in to study Torah this hour you're in a great mood and if you're in a good mood for they I want you continue afterwards why are you stopping fine so you have to go take it you have to go with help out in the house so don't help out that you're helping in the house see if you're helping in the house it's hard it's easy but if your God is helping out and you're just here to do God's work what's the problem now we remember God make God number one in your life very simple about services you could literally transform your life instantly to be in a great mood because basically who's taking over your life God is that's one that one example he gives in any moment godly soul takes over any moment you're in a holy place by doing what studying Torah that's one example second example he gives now you have to realize the study tour you need to use your brain you can't go sit there like a lump of clay because that's not studying tourists started telling me just to turn the brain on you have to read right you have to reach up how are you gonna study you have to read you have to comprehend you have to think about it I need to meditate on it tells you if they argue about it discuss it but as you're doing that really what God is really taking over that's one option the other option is an algebra so it's very simple go be part of the minion when 10 Jews get together there's something magical that takes place that God put in the dynamics of creation that when 10 Jews get together guess what happens you have a minion but becomes a holy experience it doesn't mean you're necessarily studying Torah right now it doesn't mean you're comprehending Torah it means you're hanging out with a minion of Jews anytime the minion of Jews getting together guess what happens who is energy is their God it's a link in it you know once you were a minion there's no more you minion by definition means is 10 people to create a minion one word a minion so how the kind how was their opinion created very simple you let go of your ego he let go of her his ego she let go of her ego a minion of Jews get together and guess what happens you have a minion once you have a minion who takes over God you ever see you ever go to a shul and it's a minion right a service generally speaking anyone that comes to minion is happy why because they left the troubles at all over the door they might go out and they might pick it up again that's which is stupid but the point is the minute they walk into the shul all the worries go away it's a fact it's the best remedy to get rid of all your bad moods go to shul and make sure something in there you gonna show like a minion you forget all your worries now the trick is when you leave don't pick up your worries if ones you love to leave it or hang out with the guys a little longer what do you even love hanging out they like you know a kiddush club and a breakfast Club right and all these other clubs why because when you got together with other people guess what happens it's a it's a spiritual scientific reality all your worries go away all the worries go away okay now so you see that ultimately what is kedusha kedusha is god's running the show God has revealed in your life and as long as God revealed in your life you'll have a great life now here comes the author when he deals with an interesting concept Nisa like this it's like a mixed message here on one hand you're saying that when you look around in the physical world right what do you see in the physical world you see physical things you see tables you see cheers right you see Mia you see buildings you see light you see physical you own beings right you see physical if you see the physical world wait with you again unless you're a Sabich unless you have specialized etc you don't see you don't really see the spiritual world right you don't see the spiritual world so the question is the alpharatz a very simple question so you're looking at a world that's full of clean thought full of sit rock row mean to say is in simple English you're seeing a world where God is not revealed you're seeing a world of God's concealment so one hand we're saying is world God's concealed on the other hand it says that what that when a person prays and a personal studies and a person is a Mitzvah the person is searching for God guess what happens you can connect to God at the deepest level how does it to go together you know if it's a concealed world if it's concealed so how do you how do you find how do you find God and if God is really there how is the world concealing God you got it if the world is concealed we gonna find him we go and if you can find him so how come it doesn't burst the shell and why don't we see God all over the place we know you can why isn't it why isn't why isn't it the why isn't the wall screaming out and you see God in the walls itself so the router explains a fascinating idea and that is as follows we know that God is in the infinite God God is infinite infinite God the infinite God chose to create this physical world in order to create the physical world he had to create a symptom what Atem so it's basically a contraction of the powerful light into which we know which is which is called the zero the tennis world which we'll discuss with different time at length and we've discussed in different classes so I see create this this symptom this concealment of light and in each world because we know there's many worlds there's four world every single world the concealment gets stronger and stronger up until this physical world where you don't have the insult in its ancient glory it's in the Penske Road and even the 10c road is downgraded every single worlds from at Sealord tabria to get zero NFCR and again we'll have another class going through each one of these worlds and what the spirit to give significance but the point is that every single level as you go down the concealment gets stronger until you left with a physical world now so because of the concealment the author explains what do we see we see physical world we don't see God and godliness because we see a physical war of God is concealed however however even though God is concealed but in the concealment process the concealed it is really for who for us physical human beings that we can be able to live in this physical world but from God's perspective the light is the same light that is the in front of light that's in this world just in a concealed state in other words here we'll give you an example let's say you have a teacher teacher and he wants to explain a fascinating concept that he spent 20 years developing and researching and meditating on and to him it's like crystal clear now again he spent 20 years not two days on two weeks on two months on two years 20 years he spent thinking about the idea developing the idea meditating on the idea spend endless nights non sleeping he wrote down the idea he played idea he discussed idea with people and he has but to him now it's clear now the reality is we all know if somebody worked in something for 20 years you're not gonna get it like this it's impossible I mean let's do it like this is genius right but even then it's highly impossible something takes it serious work it takes a while to develop now he has this great idea and he wants to teach it to a class the class is coming for an hour do you think he can give us idea in one hour no either he'll blow their minds and they'll say oh you totally when I'd overhead right so what does he have to do he has to take the idea and water it down to a very very very very simple level and give you a like an analogy of the concept on a very simple level you oh I think I know what you're talking about now the reality is in this analogy that he gave is buried is is very the whole idea is buried in there it's not the full thing it's buried over time one class another class and as you start getting into it you'll eventually get to the depth of the teacher so it's the same idea with with the Simpson that God created this physical world that God concealed his light what we see Truett's we see the physical world why because God concealed his light but the reality is in this concealment everything is there we just have to over time and over practice we'll get deeper and deeper but the essence of the light is there in other words what does I mean it means very simple if we human beings just focus on the concealment we're just gonna have the concealment and so we're gonna we're gonna connect to the concealment which is basically the Clipper which is basically whether it's creeper Tomatoes all scream the mayor that included no where would you base the concealment part of God but what happens if we're able to peel away the concealment in other words like this we are also God's concealed within us or too however we have got the godly soul within us so if we look at it from our concealed perspective it's about our physical of trying to connect to God it's gonna be very very hard you're not gonna get too far however if you're able to pull yourself aside and say okay whoa I have a part of God within me we also have a part of God within us and I want to connect to the light of God what happens now now you will have the ability in this physical world to connect to God's infinite light the way it's brought down into this physical world just like a teacher when he brings down the analogy so that the student can understand it you open a receptive exactly Sonos yes it's true that this world is concealed and what you see is the physical world and you don't see God however part of the concealment is that we ourselves are physical human beings we have a body that conceals us and we have materialistic ideas etc but we're able to peel away our materialistic self and bring out the godly part within us and say okay what does God want where can I find God so who's looking for God the godly part within you is looking for God then you will be able to connect to God in the deepest level so to recap what the author was saying here in this chapter is that ultimately the animal soul is neutral but by following its emotions first and obviously therefore following with your thoughts speech and action you can actually download your thought speech in action ultimately we want to be godly people we want to live a life of kedusha of holiness and the way we're going to live the life of collusion holiness is by humbling as ourselves our physical self our conceal self and allowing God and God needs to be revealed the simple way to do that is by studying Torah by doing mitts vote getting together with a quorum right of 10 people anything that is godly and is beseeching God and then you will be able to connect to the infinite the infinite God the infinite God not the way God's concealed but actually the true revelation of God and ultra what he thinks that when the Messiah comes the whole mask was gonna go away and we'll be able to see God and godliness and everything and that will happen God willing very soon
