Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Sec4 Chap12 “Charity creates 1) Peace 2) Everlasting tranquility”

welcome to tonight's Tonya class we are in Tonya at the fourth section eager to Kadesh and we are studying tonight Perry kid Bay's chapter 12 now as always we discuss one chapter a complete chapter and if you know that since tanya is the Torah cervix of the written Bible so to speak of mysticism so it's every chapter has a strong foundation and this chapter happens to be has a very very very powerful message and very very powerful us in an also very practical lesson and that is in life we all would love to have peace tranquility and here the author is going to show you literally how you can have peace and tranquility that's everlasting now wouldn't that be a nice thing to have that peace and tranquility which will be everlasting so the altar actually opens up this chapter based on a verse in Isaiah and the verse sentence follows the holyoke my starts dr. Shaw while saving he brought translated the avoided stalker haschke Travie Tejada Elam that the action actually is the action the physical materialistic action the action of giving charity that means you put your hand in your pocket you put some money in the charity box you swipe your credit card or you give someone food the action of Sokka will bring peace and the avodah of Dhaka which now the question is what I vote the means obviously means something different than myself because my sand means action I'm going to meet something different which will soon learn in depth what I vote it means but there's some concept of a voda of Dhaka not just the actions like they are vote that the work of sucker that will bring you tranquility that will be everlasting so we already know two things there's work there's the action of stalker and there's the work of charity and we know that by doing the action of charity you have peace and by doing the work of charity whatever that means we'll discuss soon what that means you'll have everlasting tranquility that's based on a verse obviously in Isaiah and the altar was going to explain to us what does this idea mean so no doctor explain this concept after the quotes a verse from job and prophet Joby says Lisa Shalom Beamer month that God makes peace in Heaven's now what does that mean we all know in this world these kids that quarrel and have I'm not saying heavy heavy fights but they don't necessarily get along always is me teenagers as adults there's an every level of age bracket there's always some issue somewhere so you were thinking heaven it's all peaceful but what does the first say job says oh you said shalom be removed there's some kind of action going on in heaven in some high places and god makes peace in heaven that's what the verse says it's not referring to making peace in this world I used to show them where God makes peace been run over and have what kind of fight is there in heaven so now we're gonna learn about the drama in heaven once learn about the drama in heaven there may not write in heaven is some drama what's the drama in heaven so we know that God created the world he created us but in heaven and there's something which is called angels different angels the - there's many angels but for two angels we're getting talking about tonight one is called the angel of mica Allah and the other one is the angel of Gabrielle Michael and Gabriel what is Michael stand for Michael's the angel of water which water resembles spiritually practically custom kindness so Michael is an advocate for class a for kindness which water if you think about it draws down it comes down when you're when you're kind you're nice to someone whether it's physically spiritually emotionally financially you're drawing down you're giving something from yourself you're drawing down that that is resembled by the idea of water so the L stands for give forgive be happy let live peaceful things only great wonderful things got real on the other hand he's fire fire means there's justice there's rules there's repercussions for actions it's not right or wrong two different approaches now matter of fact if your soul is ruining me Kyle you're naturally gonna be a giver are you gonna be forgiving you're gonna live a happy-go-lucky life if your soul is rooted for example in Gabriel and fire you're gonna be this disciplinary and I know you can't get away with that and you did this wrong and you have to redo it and so on and so forth two different worlds two different angels now in heaven with the source of these two angels are that's what they don't knock each other out with one doesn't exist because then there wouldn't be no one wouldn't exist they both strong too strong angels too strongly dotes of age and my in fire and water discipline and kindness and the too strong angels but what happens is so there's a big struggle on heaven who's gonna win are we gonna be nice are we gonna be kind are gonna be forgiving we're gonna be gentle I wanna make believe you didn't see something we're gonna be nice anyway even though the person was a nice to us or are we gonna say no the person responsible for their actions timeout disciplinary action is we have to discipline them and so on and so forth what happens and you have obviously two people two strong angels each one fighting for their position comes along obviously God and says no no we got to make peace now how's God make peace so God makes peace very interestingly very simple because we know that before God created the world before God created angels the only thing that existed was garden godliness there was nobody fail there was no Gabrielle there was no water there was no fight it was nothing was just garden darling this this whole concept of angels and this angel and that angel water fire hasn't were that's already after God created that Simpson so awesome because God concealed himself God contracted the infinite light so all of a sudden all these like eyes these egos came about irrelevant whether it's customer GRU it's still an ego of katsura goro so what happens is how does God make make peace very simple God shows up the infinite light shows up now what happens when the infinite light shows up who cares about small lights there's no more small lights in other words Michelle goes back to its source Gabrielle goes back to its source custom goes back to its source mudal goes back to her source water goes back to the source fire goes back to the source and what do you have you have one is yeah peace now what's interesting is what gets consumed into what so according to the so our coin the Kabbalah it says that the Guru it's consumed in Turkish ed and those Castle has an edge and the reason is because they really both go back into which sphere are the center Sphero because from the side you have to go into the middle and the center sphere is T Faris and we know that every single serie has one of the names of God so for example mahasiddhas Cale Gurr is elokim and he forces you to cave of Cates the infinite name of God so they all blend into the terrace and in the world that the Faris what's Taveras is beautiful they both in mesh beautifully it becomes a beautiful picture of a nice healthy mix of Castle agora but the way you're able to have the healthy mix that's because the infinite light comes out so in other words so in other words anytime the infinite light is shining guess what all the small stuff goes away when we're connected to the infinite God who cares about the small talk the cheap talks and he said she said it's all not it's all irrelevant when you're dealing with God so anytime the light of God is shining in your life and it's really really shining you really plugged into the light of God guess what happens now you have real peace now you have real tranquility and now you have real happiness and all the greatest blessings so what you really want you want just like the way God makes peace in heaven but God gets revealed that all the differences go away we would like so to speak in our life that we should experience that same beautiful bliss of peace and happiness how do we go about doing that so the author explains as follows that in this world in this world from when God created the world and initially when the primordial sin when actually learning at least week's Torah portion but the sin of the Garden of Eden so what happened is everything in the world became a mixture of good and bad in other words in reality this should be good it should be a track of good and it should be a bad track of wrong of evil bad but the fact is ever since the sailing there's a mix you're not gonna find something which is 100 and good without finding some negative or evil in there and you're not gonna find something which is something total is always something good in there it's a pure mix now if you're living in a mix of good and evil so you have two forces you can't have peace any kind of happiness when can you have peace when can you have tranquility when is a clear distinction 100% good and you focus and you're living in the good then life is great now ultimately that will only happen the ALF ever says in the total cleanup is going out when the Messiah comes why cuz I'm gonna sire comes will be such a great light and we're only gonna see an experience goodness with 170 170 or good with no negative in no evil until then we have the mix but we want to try to create even within the mix of this world we want to try to create some kind of beautiful light in our life so the author explains as follows and I'll give you an example take for example you're trying to plant the garden so you go out and you work the garden and the rain comes are you gonna have anything grow no why you miss something if you got to put the season on the other hand let's say you go out to the garden and you put in the seeds and you don't plow the ground then you know it doesn't rain are you gonna have any growth no so you need two components you need to put in the seeds and then you need to work the ground the rain needs to come and then you have the perfect product the produce that comes out from whatever seeds you put in so we need we need the author but says two things we need the seeds and then we need to work it and then we have the blessing what are the seeds the Opera says the seeds are as follows there's two types of seeds and even the two one of them is two levels to it but let's talk first of two types of seeds the seeds are when a person goes ahead and studies Torah but specifically dr. Chris has listened or it means you can study Torah it's your profession you can study Torah because you're bored you can study tour because it's interesting you can study Torah for comfort competitive reasons for a job there's many reasons you can study Torah that's not called stunning turretless Schmo studying Torah Torah means you're studying Torah for one reason one reason only and that's because it's God's Torah and right now I wanted an operation but God's whether you want to spend an hour with God two hours whatever maybe I'm gonna have now a loving relationship or god what am i doing I'm studying that's the main reason I'm studying to have a relationship with God that's called studying Torah foolish ma when a personal studies tarbush ma you know what happens you connect with the infinite light of God that means you just put seeds holy seeds into your spiritual ground every minute every hour you study tour with us ma you've deposited into your spiritual life these beautiful seeds that's one type of seed another type of seed is very simple you work hard and you earn money or if you didn't work and you have money you could buy anything that you want with it and you take this money either that you work for or money that you could use for anything that you want and you go ahead and give it to someone that needs help and you give it to a poor person you give it to an institution whatever maybe you do something a charitable act with the money so you have just now created seeds in your spiritual world you have now seeds now this from the seeds are long guess what we have no growth yet you have potential for growth but you have no growth but you have seeds so what Wayne and we're do you plant these seeds so the altar is very simple when a person goes ahead and prays and we pray three times a day sha Chrisman come our every with different prayers you say Psalms etc when a person prays then those seeds that you planted before the prayers whether it's a few pennies of charity or maybe a few dollars whatever you give me the charity or you're starting terribly small that produces this beautiful spiritual godly light during the prayer service so what happens now during the prayer service you're praying and those seeds that you planted beforehand all of a sudden starts shining now when they start shining and you see the light of God what happens to your life it becomes extremely peaceful you become extremely content you become extremely happy why because you created a moment that God is real in your life and I was by doing the work beforehand giving the charity and studying the Torah and then when you pray now you create the most magical moment the piece is amazing the light of God is on and think about when you're really really praying sincerely praying or you sing songs after you've given charity after you studies her what happens now oh my gosh there's like nothing in the world that can engage you in anything negative in it let's see someone says something does something why would you even pay attention to that you're so focused on the infinite light now what happens after you pray prayer service is over now you're engaging back in the world you're dealing with people whether in family community work whatever it may be now all of a sudden the chaos and the drama starts what happens to that peaceful experience the godly light that you experienced during the prayer service unfortunately that wore off why did it wear off so the optimist says there's two types of charity there's a charity as we brought down from the from the verse in Isaiah which is called an action of charity and then it's called the avodah of charity what's the difference the action of charity is as the author brings out that we're like we are Bosco in the spiritual Evelyn's we come from the we're like the daughter of the priests which means we come from Castle and it's in our nature it's in the nature of the Jewish people to me as we know Rahman him to be compassionate good look I saw them to give charity so to aren't our nature to be to be charitable these someone comes and asks you for help it's a natural thing to say sure I'll help you it's a natural thing to feel someone's pain and try to help them whether it's with words whether it's time whether it's the resources whatever maybe it's our natural thing we want to help matter of fact if we not naturally inclined to help there's really a question in our Jewish genes whether we're really Jewish because that's the signs of the Jewish people so the fact that we give charity that's a natural thing that we do we give charity because it's a natural thing to give charity now so when a person gives charity are you working any self to give charity no because it's just an action we are naturally wired someone needs help he named me I'm ready to help so because I'm ready to help it's charity you can't say it's not charity you're creating those spiritual seeds and by prayer services those seeds are gonna really lighten up and you can have a beautiful prayer experience that you're gonna feel the peace it's going to be amazing but because you only gave the charity it's only gonna last you during a prayer service what happens if someone needs your help and you're really not in the mood of doing it whether you're just not in the mood or it's too much or you feel like it's more than you can handle all etc you say you know oh my gosh the guy needs help how can I turn him down I don't want I don't have I'm not able to find someone else and if every reason not to do it but you say you know what no the person needs help as we know the Balch uncle said everything is divine providence if the person reached out to me obviously I can do it it's hard I'm not gonna say it's easy but I'm willing to break myself and go way beyond I'm what I feel like I'm ready to do I'm able to do that's called a bully that's have stuck I vote that means you're working on yourself to do it it's not easy but I'm working on myself to do it now he thinks it's real every it's irrelevant to every different person it's not like one one blanket rule it's one person this is hard this is easy one person this is easy that's hard but whatever it's hard for you to do and you push it ourselves to do it you so to speak create you get these seeds that called super seeds why because because you put in super effort that wasn't normal effort so you created super seeds now when you create super seeds and then you go to pray so what happens those seeds of charity that you did which was a voda they light up not only quantitatively more which means instead of having peace you're actually experience you can conjugate like a tranquility but also as the album says that voices have stuck at last everlasting at last way after your prayer service where you have to your prayer service you're gonna feel that not only peace but you're actually gonna feel the great wonderful tranquility so in other words so the ultimate puts it out here very very clear simple map of how you can experience peace and how you can have everlasting tranquility and it's very simple do the work of charity study total of small what you naturally able to do and then during prayer services guess what the light of God's gonna be on you do more than you're willing to do more than the call of the hour more than you're ready to do work on yourself to go the extra mile then not only will you experience a greater sense of peace a sense of tranquility during the prayers but it will last even after the prayer services and obviously once you're having this great light around you the peace the tranquility you're gonna feel during prayer and throughout today is gonna be really really beautiful and really really special all following a simple simple path what the Altima shows to you it's it's so simple and it's so great that you can literally create peace in your life tranquility not only during a prayer service but that will last even after by putting in the effort going the extra mile I love going giving some extra charity and we blessed with great and beautiful blessings
