Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Last Essays Number 8 “Praying leisurely will create Love of G-D”

welcome to tonight's tiny class we are in the last section of Tanya cold country track rain and we're holding chapter 8 pay requests and it's a very beautiful chapter as all the chapters in Tanya are beautiful but tonight we're going to learn about an important idea and that is as follows we all would love to be in love with or without Shannon that's the best possible loving relationship that one can have is to have real love for Hashem so tonight in this chapter chapter the eighth chapter of Tanya the author was going to show us how we can attain a revealed love for our sin you know the old deep down love Hashem who doesn't understand we all love a sham but in order to be to be reveal that you feel it then it's allies and the love is flowing and you're excited about the love and it's palpable you know it's and can feel it you can touch it and you're engage with the love so this chapter Doppler is gonna teach us how we can create that love for a swim in a revealed way and the just in general as here we say there's a theme to the chapter again there's always obviously many but the theme for tonight is that when a person prays leisurely which means slowly and with the proper meditation you can develop a revealed love for em so that's the theme for tonight you play slowly leisurely with a proper cover now with the proper intention you can develop revealed law for ourselves it's a very very important chapter because again we don't want to love a Shannon and now at least we'll have tools and know how to go about doing it so it's interesting is the altar which starts with the chapter with a little criticism and criticism based on feedback that he heard that in this community whichever the community was that it was a cousin someone that led the service would with davon slow they wouldn't let him dive in again knows he went to do the prayer service and he was you know going too slow of pace they wouldn't let him down again they wouldn't let him to leave the service leave the service he could Dobby but he couldn't leave the service they wanted people that weren't walked in put it into you know 100 miles per hour gonna turn the pages okay it's over where's the kiddush that's what they like they don't like the guy that made them late for the kiddush they wanted you know the Dominus slowly word-for-word with the proper cover north etc and they wouldn't let so obviously you know we know the altar was a holy man so things got back to him and he heard about it so he said it's I'm not happy with the news that I received that you're not letting people Dobbin like that now you can give criticism but here you're gonna see the author explains why it's not because God for he's trying to criticize people but he's trying to show them what they're really missing out on and what they're giving up so this is a whole different level this is not called criticism this is called teaching obviously starts off a little on the rough side saying I did you know I hear this terrible news not happy about it fine he got your attention and the author explains like this he says it's fabulous and when a person prays leisurely I mean slowly say the words you meditate to think about you saying so it creates life and long life you know they have to hold these longevity clinics cost a fortune they work they don't work insurance pays doesn't pay guess what this is free and this works sitting down every day slowly have the proper cover note you'll have life but you'll live you'll be living when you're living and you'll have one life so it's like a home run now so the optimist is like this so let's say you go ahead and you pray slowly of qivana it will create life for you and it'll create long life now if there's a thousand we know a cousin that what the CFT were the one that leads a service what's his job what's the job of this lead singer simple Holika his job is for all the people that know how to Dobbin or even don't know how to da band he prays in their behalf so if this is Leah silver davon slowly what happens when a person diamonds leisurely and with come on up he lives and you live a long life but if he's Ashley a super I guess what and you're in that minion moon he's everyone gets the prize everyone gets surprised so the altar was explaining very very soon that if the sleeve zipper goes ahead and diamonds leisurely or Cabana the whole community is gonna live and live a little long life and we all know the doctor who brings this from the Talmud the Talmud says there are three things that cause a person to live a long life three things one of them is their person sits by the table for a long time that gives you long life now one of the reasons is because you set a table for a long time people poor people can come you can feed them these the tables always there's always food on the table you can take care so the longer you're sitting by the table the more you can invite people it's not like a two-minute meal they can come like right in the company other one is sitting in the restaurant for a while it allows you to clean yourself out but in the third which is it what's important to us is that when a person prays leisurely with qivana that will give you a long life so the author was saying what are you doing when you when you take and tell him that he can't leave the service you're causing everyone not to laugh to not have the opportunity to love and longing great lives so the author which is one second I understand you you're not universe you came to school whether it's during the week instead of work or whatever yeah in a rush now what's your concern is a dab the clouds and the one leading the service diamond slowly and you're in a rush you're gonna have to leave early it means you don't even know the service so you're gonna miss out kedusha which you need to say with a minyan you can respect both who you're gonna miss out the repeating of this ray and if you have to leave early that's what you're gonna miss that all the important parts of the service that you would like to answer to and the optimum says like this coming from the altar and we know the doctor was not only a mystical leader but he's my logic leader he says like this it's better in that case let the dolphin calm down and slowly and you leave early and you'll miss to do so you'll miss barkow doctor was saying this why why sounds very simple because when the crowds and daven slowly we know it's all right away it's a home run he and the community will have a life and a long life that's right away great what are you concerned about that you're leaving and you're gonna miss kaduche embargo so the Armed Services guess what why are you leaving cuz you don't like the Ovid Inc obviously you have to go you have to go whatever the half to the reason is you have to go doctor appoint me it's going to work whatever the reason is so you go and get a category about lameness you're not doing it because you want to leave school early you have no choice so what happened is because it's you're an illness you're being forced to leave whatever is forcing you to leave so then all unis the I'll say it in Hebrew and they'll translate our you know Samana Padre if somebody has to dive in and they don't have time they have to run and whatever reason so you're exempt not only a you exempt but if you have a good cousin that I don't mean a good husband a good voice but a Frandsen that has in mind everyone in the community guess what he will accept he will include you in his prayers that's a job for Kazan that when he's praying he's having everybody in mind and he'll include you in his prayers obviously it's best if you participate if you can't participate he'll include you as the outlet quotes is a famous story in the Talmud that except this is not a new thing that they call them the people from the fields like for example don't think that people that live on the fields they have taking the farm and they have jobs to do people that you know day workers they can't sit the in school for 2-3 hours on a Monday morning or Tuesday morning or etc they're out you have to get up early you have to go to work so what happens they don't make they can't so then the answer is what says if these people on the shul have their mind the fountain has their mind and it says if they haven't it's as if they Dimond and they're exempt through the prayers of the community so the FLT were saying relax you have to rush you have to leave you're gonna miss collusion about who it's it there's a precedent you're not the first one and the council will have your mama don't ruin something which is which is gold the thousand a burning slowly and the community dominating slowly having come on our that brings life to everyone in the community you have to Lisa leave and it's not like you're gonna miss out yeah sure you're not there but it'll be as if you were there in the opera continues audiences like this in the times of the Mishnah and the Talmud so we all know that the people started Mishnah Talmer they studied Torah that was their life I'm gonna use the example 24/7 I'm announcing they took a break because they have to eat and take in the family but 24/7 the mine wasn't learning all the commentaries so thousands even then when in the time of mystery the one that were they writing the missionaries do composing in town with the Mishnah and Talmud of times they still stuck they still prayed very very slowly even then when there was their connection to God was through Mishnah and Talmud and hummus and other studies but nevertheless they still studies very very still prayed very very slowly so the optimist says now we know it's not the time people sit in studying 24/7 because I'm busy with other stuff now the main avoid oh and dr. a quotes from crying a towel that says the main avoided today do we count their time as in prayer so if today the main avoid us pray or how much more sundown and slowly and leisurely and have the proper cover note that's the main avoided today so again so so for the outer brings out a few points point number one is before we go on to the next level is that praying leisurely would qivana literally gives you life gives you life the second she brings out that today this is our vote oh this is our voted today to pray and this our voted we should obviously pray slowly but now that one's gonna come out and I'm take it and a whole new love and he says like that he says like this then when a person prays leisurely and with Kivar no the October says this is possibly not only constantly he says and this is actually a biblical commandment and you know saying where's the biblical commandment because we all know prayer is optional you have to pray if you're going through a tough time if your honor sorry if the prayed are said but weird with the biblical obligation to pray and not like you're saying that praying slowly and what Kabbalah is a biblical obligation the other explains like this because when a person praise slowly and what qivana what happens is that allows you to met to meditate and what happens when you meditate on a sham that will create love and or and that will that will give you a tremendous love for a sham and you have it all fresher but as you pray leisurely and what are you praying about a sham and you meditate on it that will give you love for our sin and because it's gonna give you a lot for our Sam guess what's gonna happen now you're gonna fulfill the biblical obligation of loving a sham let me go through it doctor explaining this what happens when you pray if you look at look at the praying we all wait for look we all look at the prayer we pray so there's different parts that are a little take the chakras prayer service so the chakras prayer service it starts off with blessings that you know the different blessings that we make Cabo north of the temple the sacrifice the Bell and the actual praise circle starts how do you do with we start there in service it's called soupy the Zimbra so good December what circuit is in wrong that's the part the verse is that we praise the same so good listen what does mean you praise a sham when you read it's beautiful if you read it in this little translation you're praising a sin for what I shall created this he created that the heavens and the earth and the trees and the vegetation and the rain and the and the all the beautiful things are some creators now if you read it and you think about it and you're really sincere and you connect to the fact that a son created all the stuff and all the things are some created guess what if I some didn't create that what would we'd hello we wouldn't be here what would we drink right what kind of how do we get our clothing everything so everything really comes from our sound so the purpose of the Pacifica Zuma is to develop feelings from a sermon it's a warm-up it's to develop the feelings for our son then when we finish tsuki the same row so we go to the next section which is smile but before we get to the smile itself we have two blessings beforehand what are the two blessings you and I'm asylum what does it speak about there again about a sim I shall create the light today the darkness do we love her Sam and he gave us the Torah all the beautiful things that warm you up to what to the peak that when you get to Shema what do you say the Africa if you don't have the introduction of the bouzouki the similar were you're praising a Shem and you don't have the introduction of the blessings before the Shema you're never gonna get to the hasta how you gonna hang you get a lot of shows you don't anything about him how do you know how you're gonna have a love for a shame if you didn't develop a feeling for our sin it takes a while to develop the feeling so the zucchinis Imre and the blessings before the smiles to develop the feeling of love so that when you say B I have to wow you really feel to be a hafta now why it's so important after the hasta the smile says do you have to eat shall of a shove a column of Kalashnikov because what happens like this when you have the VR hafta when you love a Shem what happens when you finish Domini that's it days over no now you go through the results and how many myths fold are there besides the fact there is the 613 total there's 360 no negatives but there's 248 positive myths modes what's the driving force that causes you to do the mitzvot but do it with passion we hafta we out the 1/2 - you can't do the mid salt you can't do it I mean you can't do with feeling and with you know with in a real way that you're gonna be excited about it so the VI have to brings you to do the 248 a positive minutes vote and actually the Rambam writes in order to fulfill them and fulfill them in a strong way you needed to have the be half time so the way it works is that you start off circuit is Imre you praise yourself you do the blessings before smile then you get to the half then you're really in love with us em so the a the love now is real because it's based on serious meditation and it will also cause you to do what or the mitzvah now so therefore based on this the algorithm is very simple let's look at the biblical commandment God says via half these of God it's a biblical commandment God says love God so the operator says very simple Hackney Hackney tell someone love God what does it mean I tell you love God's either I'd love them I don't love them so if you'd love if you'd love God do you need a commandment no and the Koran won't help you and if you don't have a love for a God half a commandment helping you commandment means no service let's do something right take take any missile systems do this mitzvah so you have to go ahead and prepare and do it yes do the mitzvot it's a physical go do it via hafta means I should go love Hashem before I didn't love him now I'm gonna love him so if I loved him anyway so what's what's the commandment helping me and if I enough and if I didn't love him how am I gonna start loving him so the ever the outer is very very simple the commandments is behalf the new Sahadeva after so in order to back after you the way to get there you have to pray look at the similar the blasphemy for smile pray slowly meditate and that will cause you to have a after so in other words the biblical commandment all the way you can get to it is by by praying leisurely and what and with meditation so no the others proving this point that praying leisurely and with meditations on the option it's like fine Samuel I'm gonna pray slowly what do you know you have to pray slowly and you got a meditate together my house otherwise you're gonna run through the prayer service you're gonna come to the hafta what they're do do you nothing if to be a half that's not jumping like they plugged you in with a heart monitor and they don't see your heart going up and down you saying we hafta guess what go redo the service again think about it exactly exactly you got it so in other words the the biblical the biblical commander of a half dog that's that look the they're not some bolts and the instructions Hannah fulfill the commandment is through praying leisurely meditation because what does that do that does very very simple we all have within us there's no question inside us we all love a show yes can you do you love Hashem short of a sudden new how come you don't act me not really in love with him and the answer is very simple we know there's the hidden loves we all have Russian but then mr. revealed love so our jobs through prayer is to take what's hidden within us and make it revealed to take the love that we have first time that's within us and make it revealed that's all what in reference to the godly soul but not only the godly cell you want that the university earnest your soul that gives you life should also feel the love and the operative quotes from the market of is rich it sounds like this that the is the commandment of the hafta again is about the meditation and the explains it is very simple has it work it's a beautiful meditation think about the first smiley strong smile is telling what is that right so I'll hear what what so the schmeyer all is telling you not something else you're saying something Sumire all means what does raw mean look listen you're like stop right there so what a smile mean listen listen to what listen to exactly that whatever you're saying listen to it you reading look at this em around listen to it you reading the blessing listen to it so smiley saw means meditate you strong jus and smile listen to what you're saying meditate what are you gonna meditate then a saml okay new the infinite God is our goddess Emma collagen and as we meditate on the particular zimroth only meditating the blessing you for smile and now we stop meditating on the fact of the infinite God infinite God this infinite God is my god and this has Sam this infinite God is eckle is really really one and we know the definition of a that means a walk that's the only the only really thing that exists there's nothin eans oneness so if you have a book you have another book give it sure there's another chair it's something only cheer effort means only thing that exists when you meditate on the fact that the only thing that exists is Hashem then you will come to the next word verse which is we have them so if you do this man pay attention meditate under similar conditions aren't you gonna come by after if when you can't about half the you not jumping for our sound then go back and manufacture coin to Jewish law and the only verse in the whole prayer that if you didn't have the proper come on you have to go back and do it again it's my soul why it's very simple because how can you go to about half time you don't have the after you're not feeling it obviously you missed something so go back and redo it and when you go back and redo it you'll start feeling the love they don't say they have to offer something something's gonna change now again on the inner love that we have for our sin we all of our sin there's no reason to command you in that because you Lana said we're talking about the real love that the commandment is that you should take the one that's the part that's we've concealed and make it revealed that's in terms of you godly soul and the second part is that in the natural soul you should feel the love both in a concealed Liana rebuilder because the act natural soul doesn't feel even the concealed love only the godly soul feels it so that's another major point after he gives in this chapter by fulfilling the meditation it's in prayer and praying slowly leisurely having proper cover note we are literally fulfilling the commandment of the after it's very powerful now that pro goes on to another level he says like this what happens is when we pray and we pray slowly and we have the proper cover notes so what happens is we go from a place we just had the love within and now we have the love from without also now we're excited about a sin so now we start doing something which is important or we're here in this world it's called elevating the holy sparks this holy spark in the world and when we pray would cover now you think we do slowly we elevate the holy sparks of prayer how do we do that because we know there's two terms in Kabbalah which is called issus Coffea and is hablar what is the scuffie on his half cause it's copy amazing this anytime you want to do something you shouldn't be doing or you don't do something that you want to do which you really should not do and give us refrain you knows whether you you want to think about something you stop thinking about it you're not transformed you stop thinking about it but you want to say something and you don't say it or you want to do something you don't do it that's inappropriate obviously that's called as Kafka so in other words I'm resisting but guess what that's called beer an insult that's elevating the spark cause it's Margot's ready to totally get all over the place and how do you elevate the soiree resisting you want to start wandering in your mind we shouldn't be wandering am I going there not easy that's called the scarf yeah you wanted to say something you should just say you know I'm not saying it that's coffee you want to go ahead and do something you shouldn't do it's called as confident as confident means a prowler restraint a very important spiritual muscle then there's something called is half of this hop commands not only am I not gonna think that I'm not gonna say that or I'm not gonna do that but I'm gonna do the opposite now that lame you're not gonna seem something negative you don't really right now but I think something positive I'm doing something happy that's is how it's a whole different level first love was like if I'm not going there second level zone you're not going there but guess what we're gonna be happy we're gonna we're gonna learn more tore down we're gonna pray mobile gonna do another myth song or you know what I was gonna say something not nice but instead I'm gonna give the person a beautiful compliment you know you know that you know what that's going against the grain and not only didn't you say it you're actually said something nice not only didn't you give the person some kind of heavy curses that you wanted to say but instead you give me the you find the most amazing compliment that's called it stop clock not only aren't you gonna do something negative we actually do something positive right now that's called the stopcock what happens when you do that who does that we know that we have within us we have a godly soul of we have the animal soul in all the cases when you're practicing is craftiness hop club who's who's practicing it only half of you the whole you is practicing it that means you're never sucked a yunus your soul that gives you life force is also practicing it so as you practice as coiffures hopper you know what happens you're transforming you're never shot hi Eunice International kiss now think about one of the hardest things to do spiritually the hardest things to do one of the hardest things to do spiritually is to pray it is one of the hardest things to do spiritually to pray and not only diet it's double as hard to pray slowly and it's triple as hard to play the qivana think about it the talmud says that there's one of the one of the things that's impossible every single that we struggle with every single day is to have proper cover on prayer so it's triple as hard this three issues one is to stop and pray seconds to pray slowly and the third is what to pray with Ivana so you have three things going against you so another hand we know when there's three things that possibly can go against you and you hit a home run when bases are loaded that's a real home run what's the calling you bring in all the players Grand Slam Grand Slam that's a Grand Slam exactly Grand Slam is when you actually pray pray with qivana and pray slowly that's a Grand Slam or it's a breakfast at Denny's that's a Grand Slam why because look what you have to overcome you have to overcome Yates our dimensional praying right now slowly forget about it come on up not even a question and you able to do with Scott yeah and hosaka you just now elevated some heavy heavy heavy Sparks heavy Sparks the elevators powerful stuff prayer will this heart is a thing is that's the greater reward we have now so again so beer that substance means so far we just learned this mere fact that you're praying and you're praying slowly and you're praying with proper caval now and we know how hard it is torture possibly and you do it oh you don't bark just elevated and some of these a lot of sparks the more the resistance the more the sparks but now that ultimately exists them further and it's just like this we know how do we live how do we live so we know that we have blood the bull and we know the blood is the soul and it's also part of our is the life of the person now that's who we are right I mean you being his blood that's what we asked our friend you lose your blood you finished where is the blood get energy and renewed energy every single day from your oxygen you eat you drink so a person is made up of new food and new drink that a person consumes every single day let's see for example and you were in clothing right you know weird cause whatever it pens whatever type of clothing colors etc clothing creates a certain energy that we wear so when a person is wearing clothing it's besides the fact is for - reasons but it also gives you a certain self-esteem and gives you a certain mood that you're in like for example if you're going on to work in the yard you were a certain type of clothing you're going to work in the office it's different than for clothing if you're going out for a nice dinner it's definitely clothing walk because the clothing has it has it has an effect on you so what happens like this so therefore so again we spoke at the Food & Drink that gives you energy clothing gives us energy you live in the house the house has an impact on you depending on the colors the shapes the size whips well the house has an impact on you so that's all connected connecting to you you're the driver thing that you have a car you're the driver any of a car and in the car you have passengers in your baggage so when you're driving what are you taking with you that's what yourself everyone in the car so the same thing also as a person lives what's living within you your food your drink your clothing your house your whole environment around you now so what happens like this when we go pray who's going to pray just me or I left the food and the drink somewhere else you see anyone finish that meal and they leave the food and drink there the part they consume it's impossible so when you come to pray it's telling you you with all your baggage food drink clothing the impact yo that your mindset based on your home friends etc so when you're coming to pray you're not only elevating your own your own needs its own your own sparks you're actually elevating all the sparks from everything that you consume then you're involved in now as your love for hashem is built in the prayer service now you start elevating all the sparks because if you're lacking the love what happens to all this what happens to everything you ate and drank and your clothing and everything just sits there it's not moving it's like you have a car nice car right and you don't put the engine on and you sit there for two hours are you gonna move anywhere no you're not going anywhere you need the engine to be on so the love is what what fuels the engine to keep on moving so in other words this novel is saying we have big responsibility we have our self we have to elevate we have our food we have a drink we have a clothing we have the environment our family around whatever business everything we have to elevate the way to elevate is when you come to school to pray and you pray slowly and you pray we come on out and you developed a lot for our Sam so now you start loving a sham what do you take with you everything you consume and everything you're involved in so that's called beer elites insult you're elevating the holy sparks now so the autographs simple question how come in the past people didn't pray for that long they prayed slowly but they don't pray as long as people's brain today or should pray today the author explains that in the past they prayed no question asked but because their souls on a much higher level they were able to accomplish things much quicker than we accomplished it today they had much more clarity so when they walked in and they said them suck in the Cimarron they said the blessing before smile it's almost like definitely someone hearing and seeing you here okay it's hearsay when you see it you see it and when you see it it's much much quicker and much much faster so the Opera says it and obviously the times in the missionary natal moon they saw it and because they saw it obviously the process was much quicker and much greater but obviously in the generation we're living in today we have to pray slowly we have to have the proper cover note am i praying solely with the proper camera log will have the power to go ahead and elevate all the all the beautiful things in this world so again as you see this chapter chapter 8 in the last section of tiny is a very very important chapter because it really shows you the importance of praying slowly leisurely the proper coming out to create love for em because when you create the love for our sin so first of all you're giving yourself life and you're giving valley life you're giving a long life that's point number one which is a very very important point number two is by praying slowly you create love and if you fulfilling the biblical commandment together love Hashem and thirdly that by could pray praying slowly we create the love and through creating the law we're able to elevate the holy sparks in this world and as we elevate the holy sparks we make the world a more beautiful place and we make the world more ready for Messiah and what's what greater gift can we ask for making the world ready for mercy a spire praying and by creating love in our life and the biggest gifts will we're in love with our sin and when you're in love with Hashem life is really full of love and kindness thank you
