Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Last Essays Number 7 "Charity brings Love & Humility to the Heart"

welcome to tonight's Tonya class we are in the sank last section of Tanya quintus Rock right and we're holding chapter 7 and as always I say that since it's Tanya it's the Bible of mysticisms every chapter has its theme and tonight's chapter of Tanya it's a very very important chapter and the theme is as follows that the tanya is gonna teach us and show us the tremendous powerful impact of charity that charity has the power to draw down the pureness of love and humility from the highest level of intellect into the essence of your heart that is this chapter so before we start the chapter I want to give an introduction so will the chapter will flow much easier and it's as follows we know when assam created the world and created us and created us with sphero's the tents we wrote and we are made up of this viewers we have a three intellectual sea road Hockman beam Andaz and we have the seven emotional sphere old hassein navour the ferris and that's a holy you say the malkos so we're going to talk right now about one sphere oh and that is Kaufman Kaufman is the first serie what is Haq MA so actually Kaufman comes up the words actually two words kayak mom the ability to say what now in other words like this hokhmah is the initial creation of an idea in order to create an idea there has to be an empty blackboard you can't go ahead with new ideas when you fall you have to if you want to put for exampie have a cup and you want to a 10 ounce cup you want to put 10 ounce of liquid you need an empty cup if it's full nothing's going there so Hoffman is the ability to empty yourself and as Kaufman personifies a intellect a real intellect and the real intellect of someone that's full of full of no pun intended but full of humility a real intellect with someone with humility someone that's really humble is a real I'm thinking someone that's humbles a comma someone it's a calm is humble both ways now when somebody is humble in in a real sincere way that's the greatest love you can have for our sin think about it you make you humbled yourself to make Google for our salmon now in the level of intellect it's really more about what the issue is the subject matter it's really less of self and thinking and when you're thinking it's not about self because self wouldn't allow you to think so in karma in the world of cost-mart is the least amount of self and that's why are you able to have insight into something else already when you go even in the world of intellect bina where's your comprehending your understanding there's a ready self there you're using something that exists and you're it's becoming a something in the world of Kozma it's a very beautiful world the place of hokhmah is is calm it's peaceful it's quiet it's surreal why cuz Kaufman has the component where it's 100% humility 100% a place of love that's Karma one component let's put on the shelf for a second the second we're gonna point component we're gonna talk about is the heart what is the heart we live in our heart our emotions we're excited we're all the emotions have come in the heart now if you're able to draw down that unadulterated hokhmah the experience of humility and love into your heart that's home run that is home run that doesn't mean you're not excited but you're excited with a level of humility and love for our salmon that's like the perfect storm and that's really our avodah in this world to draw down the Kaufmann shouldn't be in our intellect and our heart there's two different worlds all right right now I'm meditating and later on I'm partying and there's really no connection that's that's not the goal the goal is that they should be connected it's all one that the Hoffmans have come down we are into your heart your heart your experiences okay so that's obviously the goal so let's go into now through this chapter Altima started chapter he quotes from a verse in amis one of the prophets and the prophets of like this it's Dachau conical a sauna which basically means that charity is going to flow very very strong very very strong like a stream of water that flows very very very strongly that's the simple verse and almost without words can explain on a mystical level that's as follows it's not a charity Nebbe foul is referring to the flow and a son really means strength that's the little translation but the autumn is going to show us here that a son actually is referring to hokhmah that the flow the strong flow is gonna be that hakama is gonna flow through how is Hockman gonna flow through through charity what does that mean so the first elder was gonna establish that a somebody is a reference to karma so the opera explains what's the connection between a son and hokhmah because a son this in the commentaries that come and try to translate the word a so and so it's a unique word it's not a regular standard word so they give an example they say Toit gift it's very very powerful or for example a caution it's very very strong or your son it's like old you know the old school and that's how they refer to are the idea of a son the Opera says that the hokhmah that we have in honor summer also has that it's strong and intellect these are the facts it's it takes a strong stand it's old school right this is way for the through so you see that there's a connection between half mother sama and idea of a son that's point number one point I went to the altar was says for example that I find that what's the idea of hokhmah so how can we know all the zero are connected to the youth cape off camera son's name Hofmeister you be nurse to the hey the six me doted evolved and mouth was the last have a son's name but cosmos connected to you what's the connection between Hoffman you so you'd is a small letter in the alphabet it's you looks like a dot and there's a darlin not in the bottom teeny dachshunds happened in the bottom so use the dot and you have the darkness happened in the bottom the bottom and those in Kabbalah is called in CUDA a dot they hollow in the in the in the hallway in other words what does that mean why is Hosmer that because what is it that resemble it's only at that humility Exuma leti so why I'm down on top and a little about him because the idea is that Kaufman should flow from hokhmah from the teeny tiny dot in to bina which gives it expands it and then from there it goes down we are into the heart in other words like weeks where they I gave you in the introduction to the class that the idea of Kozma is the full spectrum of Kaufman's works at that it's humble it goes into the expanse of heart abena and from there it goes into the emotions when you have that then you have the full flow of Hoffman the full impact of comments not just hokhmah abstract but Kozma 101 in reality and the author brings he says actually it's we know the except reference to Hoffman bina it says train rain to good friends the lightness passion that never separated Rahman bina two friends had never separated so the addressable cross believing their separate what's Kaufman idea Kaufman's humility B knows already the details which is almost the opposite of humility you know all the details you're explaining it give the word the width the breadth and all all the expanse a part of it so why did why do they never separate because the truth is you need both look meaning to things like this Kaufman gives you the idea gives you the new ideas which comes from place you may be nobody develops it but if you have all these ideas and you can't expand it were you going with that no we're if you're able to expand things again nothing to expand what are you expanding what are you explaining so hoffman bina they really need each other the cost you need to home to count with the ideas and you need being as a development their partners the minute customer doesn't need bina which wouldn't happen because obviously customers humility he has no problem with anyone or anything what is he expand but the minute being a walks away from Kozma there's no goods to develop so bina needs hakama Cosmo is key because that's the swords that's the real humility that's the real power in the humility now but what's interesting is so what's the goal so you want coffee to be connected to be now from being it goes down to the emotions but the optimist has so this is very interesting according to Kabbalah so like this if you take the word eighth son which we said a son is connected to Cosmo a son is made up of four letters Aleph good soft take any word any complete word and put an olive beforehand they good before eyeing the supper find a number four hand it will change the word from the present to the future Olive before right I will be anything you put up one of these four letters Aleph you'd suffering before the word it makes it into future tense what does that mean what does that mean doctor says on a spiritual level that means that this idea that Kozma the pure karma which is humility and and and pure ability and love that has to go down from hokhmah into the heart that will really happen fully or machine hums look in this world unfortunately think about it we know what's right we love us am intellectually do we feel it in our heart not always and that's really the struggle and as we felt in our heart humility and love life would be beyond amazing we'd be like cloud nine always the problems we know it and we don't feel it so the optimist says when is this really gonna happen to expose where the shear comes in other words so back to the idea stalker cannot sell ASA means that this not how Ehsan with the huffman goes down into the heart when is that gonna happen a son al feud Soph known in the future of us fear comes now why is that gonna happen very very simple because when Messiah comes the heart which is self being a thing we say feel you say what I usually say when you say feel he said I feel so ah the feeling is all about selves when mushiya comes the eye is going to go away so you know you're gonna get rid of the itself and the Optima explains is unfortunately what happens in this world because of people are so immersed in materialistic pursuits and physical pleasures that makes the hard very very dull and that create takes away the sensitivity of the heart and think about practically when you overeat how do you feel you feel tired if you're sluggish so in other words when you personal consumes that is very involved in materialism and pleasures the heart doesn't feel anything sensitive the heart doesn't feel the mind doesn't feel the humility doesn't feel the love so everyone mushiya comes what does it say Hashem is gonna cut off or last lavochkin he's gonna take off that part that became very very cool of course when Hashem takes off that part then the light will come into our heart but what does that can happen the fear comes so so far right great lesson but guess what could we have it now according to so far this first half of the chapter know what's gotten lost here comes comes along now purposes relax we could possibly experience that this level of humility and this level of love should be felt in our hearts even today those the alternator's community of homes but the Opera says we could even happen today how can happen today so the Opera says very very small very simple he gives you a path the path is simple you have to do it and he says by awakening I'll say it in Hebrew all translated Rock'em in robbing a union rahman is compassion rabbim is a lot quantitatively and qualitatively and I'll Union from an eye in other words in other words you have to awaken tremendous compassion why bigges think about it not compassion on yourself because that's already a selfish compassion that's not rockin Robin what's real Rockland Robin when you have compare have compassion and you return to our summer Sam hello huh boys in Gullah think about it if you have a mission you can fulfill your mission how do you feel you feel good you don't feel great me I've missed if you ever missed them you have a dream you have a drive and you can't fulfill the listener you're not gonna feel great when do you feel great when you fulfilling your mr. hosmer this great Hockman that we have this intellect this love this humility what's its goal to remain in the world of walk or to take that humility and take that love and bring it down to a day to day life that are hard to feelings that's the goal so knows we have Rahman Robin unwalled on our house more the hustle is not fulfilling a mission its mission it can't come down into the heart because it can't express its real powers in a revealed way when we express Rashmi Robin that allows the cuff ma the humility the love could come down too hard and then we will be able to cleave to our salmon unite with a son now so you see the altar was telling us that their path is through Rahman and what kind of rock for him specifically rockin robin c after Rico it's a frameless verse from Isaiah and Isaiah says like this Leah clave to Jacob I shall publish I problem that he basically Jacob redeemed Abraham we all know Abraham was the grandfather Jacob was the grandson spiritually obviously Yaakov I mean Abraham was the grandfather Jack was the grandson but what was the saying the Prophet that Jacob Revere redeemed Abraham so I'm a simple meaning what does it mean Jacob redeemed Abraham the answer is very simple because we all know the famous story where Abraham was somewhere into the fiery furnace so in theory he should have burned up he should have burned up some made a miracle that he didn't get burnt and he can't walk down alive he walked out alive so the Prophet says why he won't get alive very simple now because Abraham walked out alive just for Abraham's sake since Abraham have to produce a child Isaac and Isaac had to produce a child Jacob and from Jacob came to twelve tribes of indicating the Jewish people so yeah Jake after had to come out for him he's the one that redeemed Abraham because the Abram would have died in the fiery furnace we wouldn't be to be known to Isaac he wouldn't have been a Jacob there wouldn't be the Jewish people so Jacob has one that redeemed Abraham so that's on a simple level comes along how karbala uncle Souter says what does it mean a Jacob redeemed Abraham because we all know in the world of Kabbalah that Abraham is what the attribute of Crescent Abraham's the attribute of love you talk is the attribute of Lord of guru obviously we want to have a life to look I said if something unique Laura to fire up the head but what happens is that sometimes love and kindness is concealed Abraham's love and kindness we all have love and kindness as an inheritance of Abraham but sometimes concealed so what happens when you have the need and the want and the ability to be loving and to be kind but it's but but but but but it's but it's concealed what do you do then how do you bring it out how do you take the love and kind that's concealed and bring it out to the opened so the answer is through recommend when you receive compassion you're able to take love and kindness as concealed them bringing out into open those loving kindness should always be revealed sometimes it's not revealed but through compassionately able to do it who represents compassion Jacob so that's the mystical interpretation Lee yeah commercial partners Avraham that yong-chol that resembles compassion he redeemed Abraham that means he caused Abraham's loving-kindness to be revealed serves out were supporting his position that wrath of him when you have Romanus on the on the go back to the point on the fact that the intellect is locked up in the world of intellect it's not being revealed we are into your heart so you have yack leverage on compassion was able to draw down the infant coming to the heart once the angel are constantly heart the heart feels lungs and the heart feels humility and now you really start living there's no trick to living your head yes living your heart but your heart should live not as a wild person but with tremendous loss which tremendous humility now so how do we create this rockin Robin soccer explains like this we all know the famous line from the Tsar from Kabbalah and says like this I'll say that Hebrew or Aramaic and I'll translate it ISA rusev it'll Cocteau he's a rooster the label which what does that mean practically when there's awakening above it creates awakening of breaking a below it creates awakening above what does that mean practically very simple when we go ahead and do something we don't want to do we do something we're uncomfortable doing you know what happens we create that same same that same energy above so for example that was very very simple let's say someone is in need of help helping whatever reason and because you know even though you're not in the mood you see know what even I'm not really helping I'm not in the mood of giving I'm not mood of being kind and I'd be nice I'm gonna be nice you have every reason not to and every feeling not to do it but I'm still gonna be nice I'm gonna be loving I'm gonna be kind I'm gonna be Charity Hospital I'm gonna go do the right thing I'm gonna do more than the right thing what happens that is you awaken that giving from herself because she was saying why should I give this person what's he doing how's he behaving but when he sees that when you go ahead above and beyond so that's called a salut salut top Teresa roaster Leila when you behave in a way which is generous and kind even though you don't want to be you go out of your box have some girls have his box for you what does that mean practically then we go ahead and are going no classes when we go ahead and give we don't want to give you don't have some does Hashem pushes through the intellect that even though the intellect is revealed it concealed and even though the love is not flowing and the humility is not flowing Hashem pushes it through we're into our heart and the heart feels it even though we're not ready for it we didn't meditate and we didn't do all you know what all the things to make it happen and even though that can happen till Messiah comes but when you go above and beyond the call of duty as some son gives you that as a gift so no there was the way to create wrap around me a brahmana's want on the fact the intellects not revealed you got to do something for it what do you have to do what kind of vessel could you do the vessel you can do and make is by going ahead and being charitable and kind even though you don't want to be chair alone kind and the ultimate finishes off from a verse and joke and the job says like this keep very bad there the whole Australia SH you tamed out now say what does that mean when when it comes to saving god forbid a person do we make calculations I can't afford the doctor I could afford laughter I can't afford the hospital I could afford to Hospital you do what you have to people sell everything people borrow the they take an extra job why because when it comes to health you don't make calculations you want to be healthy you want to live so the opposite how much more so when it comes to your soul think about your soul in other words when it comes to materialism physical health you'll do anything for it so when it comes to spiritual health what is what spiritual health spiritual health is that your intellect the love and humility should come into your heart how is that gonna come in you need to service Rockland Robin you have to feel bad how do you create and there's actually should work so doctor explain one by going above and beyond but you normally would do you can extra travel you'll be extra crying gonna be extra loving extra caring even though you don't want to be extra even though you don't want to do it what happens then it comes down to the October says how much more so when it comes to spiritual healing that a person should go beyond what they normally would do so that you can bring down this powerful love and humility into your heart very powerful so in other words like this let's the recap the chapter very powerful chapter so the operative sayings like this as follows the goal is to live within a heart and but the heart should feel and experience such a high level of love and humility like its field and intellect in your heart not just feel you should feel it you should live it now really when is that gonna happen Murcia comes but the author says we can feel it now in this world how by going above and beyond the call the hour of being extra nice extra kind extra spinnable extra charitable when we do that we draw down and never since we have the power to do that by literally giving a few extra pennies for charity or whatever whatever you're not used to giving giving giving a little more doing a little more we control that in this great light how much power we should be careful to try to give and do much one that we can because we'll get the greatest blessing and the greatest blessing will be is and we'll feel love and humility in our heart and when you feel loving you milli in your heart that is really when you start living and a high level because it's like a taste of Mercia when she has come this oh we're gonna look like we can live like much but we can live like what life is gonna be like mushiya when mushiya comes in for willing to go above and beyond what we normally do and we'll have a great and beautiful happy and loving humble and kind great life thank you really
