Vast floods cannot quench love, Nor rivers drown it. New Kabbalah class by Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz

welcome to our class on this this week we're going to be learning a beautiful civic discourse from the rebbe the name of the discourse is called mayam rabim the rabbit said this hasidic discourse 43 years ago and never went ahead to certify and edit this discourse right after he said it so again the discourse is based on the verse in song of songs from king solomon where king solomon says mayam rabim the tremendous amount of water the sahaba distinguish our love that we have for hashem or naharis and the rivers that are flowing of water loya could not drown us out from our relationship or our connection to hashem it's brought down in uh the different hasidic discourse from the different kabband rebellion that when it says mayam robin so we know mayam rob means literally a lot of water but what does it mean practically what does it mean spiritually mayam robin is referring to tyra deutscher parnosa when we are worried and concerned for our livelihood and we start thinking intensely about all the different physical needs that we have that is what my imrabi means so what happens we get caught up and we're so concerned about earning a livelihood and all our worldly fears and pursuits so what happens is that can affect god forbid our relationship with hashem so king solomon says even though we get sidetracked and we get so involved with physical pursuits and earning a livelihood that could never take away and that can never diminish and extinguish our love that each and every one of us have for hashem for god that's the first half una horizon and the the rivers of water cannot drown us out in other words that even when we have our thoughts and we're concerned that we're worried and we're anxious and it's bothersome to us and it's literally coming like just like the a river is flowing of water so our thoughts are are constantly flowing at us and doesn't stop it doesn't let up just like again the rivers that flows constantly and then sometimes they actually come with force so it represents our thoughts and our concerns and our worries that are coming with us consistently and with tremendous force and it's really starting to bother us and disturb us but nevertheless it can never drown out the love that we have for hashem and our love for hashem will always be there and always be their god willing strong so that is what the rubber brings from the from the madrish and from the hasidic insight into this verse but now there is going to explain it more in depth and he says as follows what does it mean someone has tear doors hypernosa you're worried you're concerned you're nervous you're anxious about earning a livelihood so whatever brings based on the verse that says in the prophets which means that when a person when a person works works with the with with their hands puts in the effort that's how you're going to eat so with the rubber brains it's known the the the commentaries are explained where it says your guilla caper that you're going to work hard with your hands and it means specifically with your hands what is that what is coming to exclude not working with your intellect and your emotions your intellect should be dedicated to god your emotions should be dedicated to god and sure you have to earn a living so guess what yeah do the work but exclusively only only work in other words what does that mean that even though we know that hashem wants us to work and the way we work we work in this physical world and we have to use taba we have to use nature so even when we work when we do the work that we're supposed to and we have to work the physical world but we have to remember we have to only use our physical hands and we have to remember the verse that it says hashem is going to bless us and again it says because he's going to bless us what we do we are physical labor so the blessing comes from hashem and the work the physical work that's what we do but what happens we know that that's the way it should be but what happens sometimes because it's a tremendous concealment and there's this tremendous disguise of godly energy so normally we're going to get the blessing from hashem but the blessing is not there and we have to put our effort into it so we have to work hard sometimes but nevertheless the only thing we need to do is remember even we have to work and we should work we should work with chinese with our physical body with our physical hands with our physical labor yogiya kapeh in other words our hands and all our external organs our hands our feet our body but that's it but not our internal organs what is that referring to our intellect and emotions intellect and emotions has to be dedicated to god why why shouldn't you use your intellect and your emotions when you're when you're working when you're trying to earn a living because since these are high level qualities that we have our intellect and our emotions we're supposed to use that to serve hashem as we know that our main purpose why were we created was eternal livelihood we need to earn a livelihood to serve hashem but the reason why we're in this world is to serve god so since we're here to serve god so the highest and most the best quality tools we have which is our intellect and emotions that's dedicated to that should be dedicated to serving hashem now what happens we know that since sometimes the flow of energy the flow of the blessing gets concealed and it gets concealed that we have to use you know our physical self and sometimes we have to use our mind and our heart to engage in business and sometimes you need your intellect to figure things out to understand things but nevertheless you should use your intellect only what's what's totally necessary to accomplish what you're trying to compass but not to totally throw yourself totally into it and you become totally consumed intellectually emotionally fine if you have to sometimes do it use it but use it in a limited capacity whatever you have to and especially as we know where it says in the prophets hashem the blessing of hashem is what makes us wealthy what does that mean the reason why we're successful is one reason and one reason oh the prophet says it because hashem hashem's blessing was caused us to be successful and wealthy the work that we have to do that's the garment that we have to use that's the tools that we use but we have to distinguish between the garment the tools and the blessing of hashem but not god forbid to think that's the business and it's the effort that that's causing me to be successful so in other words just like when it comes to garments and it's on a little on a literal level so you wear a garment whether you wear a shirt the jacket whatever the garments you wear but what happens when a person puts on in many many garments more than is necessary you're not going to accomplish anything actually going to make it worse you can smother yourself you need the exact garments that you need so therefore you need certain garments to be successful use those garments and that's it and that's what the ruby explains what the definition of tear disappoint also tear dosa pronouncing means that if you only have to work physically and you start using intellectually emotionally that's that's terrible supernatural that's when you're starting to use high quality stuff or if you have to use your intellect just for specific ideas and you use it and that's okay and use it for more that's terra saponasa that's being worried about pranasa do your job do it make a make a la bush make a garment and that's it in other words even though we're we're in a situation we have to engage in work because obviously god somehow concealed the flow with the flow is not coming the way it should come and the rabbit says the reason why the flow is not coming directly from hashem because we're not meditating enough on berkeley to usher what jefferson is the key to be successful in business not having to put in more effort than you're supposed to is to take a moment and think about the verse and the prophet that says hashem that the blessing of makes you wealthy and when you think about that and you meditate upon that that's going to be the source of your livelihood and you're not going to have to put your intellect and emotions into actually earning your living but nevertheless let's say for example we're not meditating to where we're supposed to and because that we have to work and we have to put our intellect and emotions sometimes we get carried away with it but nevertheless even with all the tiered disappointment which means practically that we engage intellectually and emotionally into earning a livelihood but nevertheless as much as you engage intellectually and emotionally it can never distinguish it can never take away the love that we have for god and our relations with hashem on the deepest level now so that is what we're explaining so far what means tyra does parnassa teresa marsa means that we get too involved intellectually and emotionally we're earning a livelihood and but we have to even then we have to remember that the love will always stay strong so ever says one second it's obvious that our love for hashem is stronger than our our need to make marine living so for sure the la how can the the the the involvement in earning a living how can that knock out our love for hashem and everybody explain just follow us the reason why we're saying that mayam robin our tear does our our involvement in trying to earn a living has a chance of being able to knock out our love for hashem and with the but nevertheless the prophet says but the love is going to always stay strong what's the reason why we would even think for a minute that the tyra despondent the mayam rabim the overly involved in the business would god forbid not get our love for hashem explains very powerful insight and he says like this that this mayam robin which we explain means a tier to supernatural the overly involvement in business intellectually emotionally my whole life becomes business the reason is because the source for the mayam robin the source for the tiered supernatural the source for this intent intensity and overly involvement of business because the source is the world of toyou we know what hashem originally wanted to create the world it was a lot a lot of light and the world couldn't handle it so it's called the world of toyo which i actually tell you comes before ticken and actually taiyu is more powerful than tikken at the world of tikkun the world we're in so in other words mayam robin and tier despina the overly involvement in trying to earn a living with their intellectual emotions the source is actually a higher sources tell you and because the source is so high you might think it does have the power to knock out our love for hashem and i was like this why is it called mayan robin a lot of waters because rabbit means a lot why is it not going to be so much water how can you be so much intense in eternal living because the sources tell you and then tell you it's a lot so this is what this is what this is the novel idea of the verse in other words even though the mayan robin is so strong because it comes from toyo uh and in the horror it's the stream and it's constantly the bothersome of trying to earn a living it could not take away to love why would i think it could because the fact is the mayam rabim and the naharis the intensity of the water the intensity of the river the intensity of our thoughts and our our our our intellect and emotion to try to earn a living the source of which actually comes before tikkun and tikami knows the source of our nephew shallow kiss our godly soul source is only tickled but mayam robin the sources tell you but nevertheless even though mayam robbing and tear dispenser our involvement in trying to earn a living comes from toyo and tikkun um which basically means our love for our shaman nephew because it only comes from tikkun but nevertheless it cannot take away and it cannot extinguish or cannot wipe out the love that the godly soul has for god what's that's the question is how is that so if we're saying mind robin comes from a higher source so how's nephilim kiss stronger so whoever says the reason is because you know if you give a look in the verse before maya imran in share shaming song of songs the verse before that it says in other words what the what the verse is saying is that the source of the soul and the love that we have for hashem the concealed that we have for hashem actually comes from athmus the essence of the infinite light of hashem which is actually higher than tell you so in other words the nephesha look is and the ava the source is tickled but the truth is that the source of the source of it even deeper actually comes from a higher place than tell you it comes from the essence of the infinite hashem in other words the source of the love for hashem that the godly soul has comes from shall have his utke the way it's connected and respect which means the way it's hidden in the in the cold bayes the fire in the fire and everything's even higher it's actually in the sewer in the actual flintstone literally within that rock within the rock of hashem that's where that's how sourced high we have our love for hashem and our connection to hashem which is actually even higher than utk because the salt the source of our soul is even higher and higher than obviously tell you and it goes into atmosph and like the the altar explains in the torah based on the verse where it says in the torah but that the spirit will go back to hashem that where it came from so the level of elokim that we came from is the level of so we see that our service our source is even higher again that's the recap so they're ever saying it's like this that the reason why you might think that the tier the supranasal and the mind ramen can wipe out our love for hashem because it comes from tell you which is higher than taken but the truth is the souls even comes from a higher place than tell your comes from the essence of the atmosphere inside the level of tour it never goes on further to say this follows not only can't the heavy heavy waters and the heavy tear disappearance and heavy concerns of materialism and the engagement of intellect and emotions and into physical pursuits cannot take away our love that we have than inshallah because we're connected so high but on the contrary of says what happens is when we struggle and when we engage into physical pursuits and materialistic pursuits with our intellect and our emotions not only doesn't wipe out our love the love actually becomes stronger the love for our share becomes stronger and deeper in other words when the soul comes down into this physical world and it gets involved in the mayam robin intellectually emotionally gets involved in in pursuing a livelihood what happens then is it actually reaches a higher level and a higher level than even before the soul came down into this world so what do we say the soul comes from the atmosphere and safe but he's saying that we come down to this world we engage in the world the soul actually goes to a higher level and that's really the ultimate and this is very very powerful fine fine powerful pointer i was saying is that is the ultimate purpose of the mind rather than the purpose of the mind is that we do engage but in when we engage we realize we have to keep our love for ourselves strong and that takes us even to a higher place so the goal of the mayan ram is not to get us off track it's actually to get us on track and into a deeper track powerful mayan ram is not to get us off track it's to get us the goal ultimate goal of imran is to get us on track into a deeper track and therefore because the goal the intent of the mayan robin the intent of the tyrannosaur is not to get us off to get us to a deeper track so therefore it cannot by default it cannot take away our love for hashem because what's the ultimate purpose and the ultimate reason of the mayan robin why was it created why is it or why do we have all the distractions on the contrary to inspire us a greater love for hashem so when you look at my oh my gosh i'm struggling just that it's god forbid don't think it's here to hurt you and the country is here to bring out within us the greater love for hashem what does that mean practically that when a person does the spiritual work by coming down into this world and engaging into the mayan robin into the to the rushing waters what happens that is you come to the level of chuva you come to the level of toshov you're returning to hashem on even a deeper higher level and every single explain truth doesn't mean god from doing something wrong but when you're getting involved in the worlds you're getting distracted it's not it's not a sin but when you're getting distracted the goal is to bring you to return to shubha to even a higher place and like job explains we know that before the soul came down to this world what was the soul the soul was attack before every soul came down to this world was perfect it was righteous what happens when the soul comes down to this world we become a level of bolshevika so we start out as a tonic everyone starts out attic but the goal in this world is to become vultures to become someone that returns deeper multivitamin it's not the concern someone's sinned and returned we're talking about the chuva means you're going to a higher place so when everyone comes down to this world it's everyone's perfect the goal is to be a bolshover to go deeper to have a struggle overcome it and go even deeper and as we know the famous line that says in a place where bolsheva stands a righteous person can stand there a righteous person is here about sugar maybe dips down but then he goes even higher so in a place where it's not ex place of malchos that sadly can't get there because in order to get you have to become not assad to go down to the level of all true but then you can go even higher in other words in a place where baltimore is a child that can understand not only that that they can't stand there they can't eat they don't even have the up the ability to stand there even if that sonic wants to go to the level we can't he has to become not a tad that he has to become a baltimore and then he can stand there and that's the reason why the soul comes down to this world why because truva is again to be clear truth is not for sinning where the soul goes back to its source so when can you go back to your source if you leave your if you leave your source if you're staying if you're born and you stay outside how can you go back to your source you're there so balchu is someone that leaves its source comes down to this world does its its work deals with the struggle and then it goes back to sorts and even higher and then you're able to go back to the level of a ruach we can go back to even higher and a deeper level now so what do we see from here that the quality of a balchuva someone that returns to a higher level is actually higher than the quality of azadek up to the point that you can't even compare atari to baltimore why because in the level where it's about shiva reaches that sadiq evens our complete side they can't stand there true is much greater you have a struggle you overcome it you're about to attack they can never stand there so what happens then is when a person does chuva which means a person has a struggle overcomes a struggle but that what happens then is in the neshama in their soul a new component gets developed specifically by coming down to this world and it actually gets elevated higher than what's the original source in the level of allah kim ashaya nisanga so never ask a simple question one second we're coming up now with a powerful revolutionary idea that what that the nashama by coming down to this world actually gets elevated shiva it goes to higher than before one second what does that mean because the fact is we know that the source of the souls what we say before is an atmospheric in the essence of hashem which is higher than any type of revelation any type of title et cetera the souls of source is very very high as we know for example tells that talmud tells us or the madrish when hashem wanted to create the world what hashem what was his vision who did he have in mind who did he consult with he wanted to have the shaman his plan was him in other words before hashem created the world before hashem created mankind in his mind already but nimla who was he thinking of he was created thinking about the sadiq which is a very very deep let's the essence of hashem in other words when someone's thinking about it we're talking hashem's thought which is higher than before the person is born or revealed now obviously hashem didn't have to create humans it wasn't hashem was forced to do it hashem chose hashem had a thought and he has a will to create to create great righteous people so what's the source obviously in that nimla and that idea hashem so obviously the source of the soul is not in the revealed part of this world but the source of and not in the revealed part of shaman is actually the source in the inside part of hashem and the assad of hashem so were you doing chuva to how can you go higher than that but nevertheless by coming down in this world we can do chuva we can have the struggle and go higher and even higher tarts original source so in other words asham decided he's going to create the world people chandikkim etc that's where it all started so that's our source but when you come down in this world and you struggle and you do chuva you actually go higher than that source what does that mean practically so it brings from the magnet of mesrich based on the the uh the quote from the talmud that said you stroll all over that the jewish people where we where do we start in the in the thought of hashem that was the original thought that was the original plan and he gives an analogy let's say for example someone has a child so you spend time with your child you develop a relationship and then the child leaves for whatever reason it goes away whether it's a short term long term the child goes away you forget about the child absolutely not why because the child is your child and the child is connected to you in your thought so even when the child physically is not there the child is still in your thought he might be physically awake he might not be talking to you involved in your life but the child is still in your thought that does not go away in a revealed state he might not be here but the trial is always connected now always connected us humans has a work we need to have the child and then the child leaves and the child's in our mind if we never had the child how can the child be in our mind that's what humans but let's look at hashem hashem is infinite even before hashem created humans and created us we existed in hashem's thought like it said clearly you swirled all of them before we were created we already existed in the thought of hashem how can that be because by us until we don't have the child we don't have the child by hashem because he's infinite past present and future is the same thing so if someone had a thought of having a child having the jewish people even though it didn't happen it happens later so because past present and future the same thing so when i shut out the thought of humans sadiq it already existed in this thought again it's hard for us to comprehend it because we're finite we did have it we don't have we the past it wasn't now it is later it's not but hashem past present and the future is all the same thing now let's bring it back to our case this that the source of souls smoosa you spark in the essence of hashem because that was his thought what he had what do you have from having this thought to have humans that are existing in this world and the way they're going to be down in this world here that thought the way it's going to be the way it is that we're down in this world that thought is in hashem's brain why is that because past present and future is the same now what was hashem's thought to have people creating this brain and it's never happened in reality no hashem had a thought in his brain to create a world to create people to create sanjikim to create people to they're gonna try learn torah and do mixes et cetera and that's what hashem have turned this pleasure from people that have a godly soul and animal soul and they're gonna overcome their animal soul they're gonna learn and they're gonna pray and they're going to do this voice and shaman tremendous pleasure from it so now in hashem's thought because past present future is the same thing so that's where it existed in the source when does it play out when it comes out in reality now but the thought that hashem had wasn't just a a dream it was a thought that something is going to play out in the f in the physical world now so based on this when the soul comes down into this world before it came down to this world would it exist in hashem's thought what existed in his thought that it's going to happen the fact is when it happens it's a whole different level because now when it really happens that fulfills the ultimate intent what hashem wanted because if it just remained a thought that never happened you were missing you would be missing the end the end the end result even though hashem knows with certainly gasham knows everything that it's going to happen so he knows in potential hashem knows and potential is going to happen but what's the ultimate and what's the ultimate intent of hashem is reality in hebrew it's called the kayak and the paul hashem knows it's going to happen he knows it yeah it's going to happen it's because it's going to happen or something knows everything is there for it to happen but until it happens it doesn't happen once it happens then it's poised then it's reality now and that's why you look in the in the term what does it say with the souls of righteous people in other words on the level of consulting which is basically the kayak in thought process so the excitement was for the potential of it and we know that it's going to happen and they're going to be at that level but once the soul was created and comes down to the world and then we're fulfilling potential not in theory but in in reality so then we become belchuva so they're just explaining like this even though our source isn't the thought of hashem powerful and that source that's in the third hashem is past present and future but past prejudice future on the level of in potential of happening once we come down into this world and we face reality of life what happens now now it's not a because now it's not a theory now it's reported it's real and what are we creating in this real reality when we have a struggle and we have the mayam robbie and we have duterte's partner we have new harshly we're obsessed with we're trying to to be successful in the in the physical world in the materialistic world in the business world in in the friendship world whatever we're trying to be successful in and we engage in intellect and emotions with it and then we realize no we really want to be connected hashem our love for hashem is the most important thing and we reconnect we become the love of baltruva not the kayaking reality that gives each other tremendous tremendous pleasure the arabic says he'd like to connect connect us with idea we know where it says the torah says that yaakov went on went up it started to go on on his on his path and when there was say this the discourse he said after partisan because we know there's two different levels of jakub going on his journey at the end of partial spreadsheets yaakov is leaving on his journey potentially it's reality like the vulture he's reality he's going in on his way in other words even after the whole month of tishrei which is a beautiful month with high energy rosh hashanah and all the beautiful things of the month of tishrei but nevertheless he goes he's moving where the darker in his way which are referring to the way of not the month of tishrei literally getting involved in the world getting back into reality and dealing with physical things up until the point of mayan robin you're dealing with again tired of supernassa but nevertheless even though he's getting involved in the world he knows that specifically from here that's the ultimate elevation he becomes a real the yak of where does he become a real mahalak where does he start moving where does he start elevating where does he start growing he becomes a real mahalo becomes real gross starts when he gets involved with dark in the physical world and like the verse says the yak ledarco in dark in the simple path of life with the struggles and the challenges etc that's where you become a real shaker and a real mover and knowing this that where is the ability to really really grow and reach the tremendous heights that that literally getting involved in the physical world the goal is for soyuz because we're gonna have a tremendous elevation when we know that that that creates a reality that affects within us that when we're going we're going with simcha over to evolve we're going with joy with happiness and with gladness of art and like there are quotes where it says in the torah in reference to yakov so it says he picked up his his feet and rashi says why don't you pick up his feet and rashi says because he got the good news and when he got good news he started to move and he started to dance and he started to go very very quickly another one you hear good news and you know it's good news what mean good news that even though we're dealing with turtles by nelson we're dealing with the world we're back in reality unfortunately the avoiding of tissue is behind us we're now dealing with the world but we know this is going to create the ultimate elevation this allows us to go and to go with simcha and when a person goes in this way that creates a that creates and affects a reality that should be done completely and should be done without any limits like there are cultures it says without any limits how can you go down any limits because you know that you're a belchuva you know you're going to elevate and you're doing up the simcha so we know the rubber brings out that says in the famous discourse that when you go with simcha simcha pirates collage when you go with joy that breaks all boundaries all limits and when a person does his spiritual work on all three levels like the three sons of nayak which is which corresponds to torah learning torah every day abolition praying every day gemini's doing acts of kindness and doing all the midsoles and we do it completely but more importantly we do it with simcha we do it with joy with love with gladness of heart so then we draw down the blessing of hashem and everything that we need in all three areas children family life health food sustenance success everything that we need and we receive it with 100 completion which again with tremendous joy with gladness of heart spiritually and physically and again spiritually and physically together and that will give us the greatest the most powerful blessings obviously this is a very very appropriate and important hasidic discourse as we get engaged now in the world we have to know that we're going in the world but the fact is going in the world gives us the ability to become real troubles and that gives us real simcha that we can be successful and that will give us all the greatest blessings have a great and blessed week thanks so much for joining us for our siddhas class and let's hope god willing next class will be in your miracle dishonesty now
