Welcome to our class onus. We're going
to be learning a beautiful discourse in
the Reb. The name of theic discourse is
called the Reb said thisidic discourse
on the 13th day in the month of Tamuz in
the
yearin which is 56 years ago. Jebber
went on to certify and edit this
discourse in honor of the 11th of Nissan
the Reb's birthday in the
yearin 35 years ago. So again the
discourse is based on a verse in psalms
where it
says a prayer
to a man of god etc.b Sheba says that
the pre the uh previous Reb explains in
his uh in a talk of his and famous talk
and he says that this this um psalm it
has a connection to the 19th day of the
of of of the month of Kislave and as we
know that the alterba um when he was in
prison he would say every single day
psalms the way it was divided up based
on the day of the month and since this
psalm is the beginning of the psalms for
the 19th day of the month of Kislave. So
the obviously the alterba said it on the
day that he was redeemed from prison
this and he continues on that in that
talk the the previous rebba that king
David
had it means it was given over that this
psalm actually is the one that wrote it
and like the medra says that there are
11 psalms that mobenu said corresponding
to the 11 different tribes And he
continues on in that talk to explain
that the beginning of the of the psalm
says
Hashem and Hashem you're my dwelling
place. And the psalm finishes off and
says and he says the beginning where it
says which means dwelling place and the
end no which means sweet is the same
letters. They both have a mem and I in
above and a final
non says we have to understand the
connection between these three ideas. In
other words, one this psalm's connection
to the 19th day of also the fact that
was the one that composed it and also
the connection between and the same
letters also we have to understand what
he brings a proof from the medish that
this moenu said it composed it but the
fact is it says clearly it's a prayer
for
mobu we can explain this based on what
it's known that with the redemption of
the altar Reba on the 19th day of of
what started then was the whole idea
of that the wellsp springsings of
mysticism should be spread all over the
world and we know that by spreading
mysticism like we're doing right now
we're learning on YouTube and Spotify
all over the world this is a prep a
preparation and a vessel for the coming
of Messiah so again the key point is
that started
spreading the wellsp springs and that's
a vessel for the coming of Msiah. So
based on this the connection of this
psalm with the redemption
oftlave it shows that it's connected to
the ultimate redemption and that's why
after he says in this in in this talk
the freed says that this is connecting
he goes on to say that who is the one
that compos it mobenu why because mobenu
was the first redeemer and mobenu is
also going to be the ultimate redeemer
and he points out that king David had
the cabala was given over to him that
this psalm composed. Why? Because he was
trying to hint that this idea that we're
saying that that connected to mobu is
referring to mobu is the one that took
us out of Egypt. And as we know the the
going out of Egypt is the beginning and
the precursor for the ultimate
redemption which is going to come
through King David the the of of that's
going to take that's going
to King King David the Messiah like it
says he says just like going the days
going out of Egypt I will show you the
wonders in the future and he brings over
here what the Medra says that there's 11
um msim psalms That mohen said and
what's the idea of 11? So 11 says
there's two components in in 11. What's
11? So 11 you have one before and on top
of 10. That's 11. You have 10 and one
before and this makes it 11. And what is
that referring to spiritually? It's
referring to the the infinite part of
Hashem which is above the 10. Like it
says in the
zor it's one but not part of the
counting of the 10. So and and and
the 11 is idea is to bring in the the
one which is not part of the of of the
counting into the 10 into all the 10 up
till where it goes into the sphere of
malus and on the contrary the main idea
is to bring
in where should where should the one go
into obviously in all the spheres but
specifically in malus why in malus
because malus the source even the malus
is the lowest but the source source of
malus is we're in keter but not only in
keter in paser in the eternal part of
kesser. So the goal is to bring the one
into malus because malus is sourced is
what in
piser why is that because all the all
the tens the sources and the external
part of kesser because because that's
it's and that's why it's counted in part
part of the tens but the source of malus
is where in
the which is not counted part of the
sensor is like it
says one and it's not part of the
counting however in in a revealed way.
So that's in the in the in in in the re
reality of of malus. So if you have the
proper eyes, how do you look at malus?
Malus really is sourced in pmas which is
not part of the numbers. But in the
revealed way we know malus if you give a
look malus is the lowest sphere up to
the point it's the lowest sphere. Let's
say in the first world of malus the
lowest sphere and from malus you start
creating the future worlds of briia up
until you have this physical world.
However, that's now what we see in a
revealed way. However, in the future
when when Shia comes, what's going to
happen is we're going to reveal the
source of the
way and that's going to be re what's
going to be shining out in himself and
even the way it comes down way comes
down to
Bri and also even into this physical
world and the contrary the main
revelation is going to be in this
materialistic world and by by revealing
the source of piaesser into Malos and
into the physical world. That's how
we're going to complete the intent of
making a dwelling place for Hashem down
here. And as we know that this world,
the lowest world means where God is
where God is mainly concealed is going
to be a dwelling place for Hashem. But
not just Hashem, but the essence of
Hashem. So based on this he liked to
explain what it says in in in the talk
what what he brings from the medish that
mob said
11 11 psalms because over here he's
trying to to hint the connection of the
psalm of moa with what with the future
redemption because the idea of this
psalm is which is the beginning of all
the 11 psalms is about bringing in the
one
into all the spheres and mainly up to
the ultimate sphere of spheres from so
based on this he says he'd like to
explain what he continues on in in the
talk to explain that mo which is in the
beginning of the psalm is the same
letters as which is at the end of the
psalm because it's brought down the
discourses and
of that which means a dwelling place
that's what what is that referring to in
the spheres that's and why is it called
mo it's from the expression of of a
dwelling place, a house like it says
basically the
house is is where you live with your
with your spouse. So mo is referring to
malus and noam which is t which is
pleasure is optic which is the highest
part of of of kaser and mo is the same
letters as noyam. Why is that? Because
the source of malos the source of the
lowest is in keter which is basically um
uh in the pious part of keter which is
basically and you can say that's why he
brings in in in the in the in the in the
in the talk of the previous reb in the
continuation of of um which is 11 um he
brings that the same letters as to hint
to us that the revelation
of is in the 10 spheres. Where's the
main revelation going to be? It's going
to be in Malus. And the reason is
because Malus's source is in
Actic. Now, notice to explain this now
more more more in detail and more
specific because we'll understand this
based on what the Reb
um taught us in discourse with with this
title. So he brings in a zoya and the
zya says
that the prayer of mob what is it? It's
called a felas usher. It's a prayer of a
rich person. And he says that's the
difference between the prayer of King
David and the prayer of mobenu because
the prayer of king David is a prayer of
a poor person and the prayer of mobenu
is the prayer of a rich person. And he
points out and he and in in the
discourse because what's the idea of a
prayer? Prayer you're praying to hashem.
Hashem should give you what you're
lacking. But since a rich person is not
lacking anything. So what is the idea of
a rich man's prayer? Um so that's
question number one. What is a rich
prayer? What is he praying? He's not
lacking anything. Also more we have to
understand based on what it says in
based on the verse that
says so somebody's lacking something. So
it says you have to give him what he's
lacking. And it says what he's what what
he's missing. So there's two po two two
pieces here. Point number one
is whatever he's missing he whatever
he's missing you have to give him. So
what does that conote? Whatever he's
missing you have to give and you don't
have to you don't have to make him
wealthy.
But means what he's lacking means if
somebody was used to for example the the
example they give is the person had a
private he had he had a he had a a horse
and buggy that that would that would run
for him and he had servants etc. So you
have to give him everything that was
lacking. And if the person was rich and
he was used to a rich lifestyle, you
have to give him that as well. So in
other words, what do you see from here?
So when it says when someone is poor,
you have to give him what he's lacking.
But then you also have to give him
whatever he was missing. So So that
that's a poor person. If you're poor
person, you're giving everything and
even what he's missing. So what's a rich
person? A poor person gets everything
also. So obviously when you say someone
that's wealthy, that means he's not
lacking anything. And he's not even
lacking all the luxuries of a horrors to
run in front of him. and servants etc.
So what does that mean? He is has an
abundance of flow of wealth and success
and everything that he needs. So if
that's the case, the question is we're
dealing with a poor person that rich
person has so much. So what is he
praying for? So it's explained many many
places and also discourse that a a rich
person's prayer is not for himself. He's
not praying for himself and like he
brings the medish the med says based on
the verse of this verse. So what does
that mean? what what's what is he
praying for? And he gives an example
that three people that came to to
receive something from the king and this
person asked for this and the other
person asked for something else. The
third person has everything. Says king
says to them, "What do you want?" He I'm
not asking anything for myself. I have
everything. But there's a certain
country that's destroyed and it's yours.
The king, it's yours. So I'm I'm I'm I'm
making telling you to make a decree to
rebuild. So the same thing also. He
wasn't asking anything for himself. He
was asking for the Jewish people. So Reb
says this explanation you need have you
you need you need to have a more of an
explanation why because what is a
prayer? Prayer means we know it's
explained in it's a person prays it's
work of the heart. You pour your heart
out to Hashem. So in other words, so
even if you're praying for someone else,
how you're praying, you're praying in a
way that bothers you in your heart and
is up to the point that you feel the
other person's pain, you feel the other
person's lacking. And the more you feel
someone else's pain, that's how great
your prayer is. So why you pray? So
that's if you're praying for someone
else and it really bothers you, so then
you really you are lacking. So if the
other person's pain bothers you, so why
is it called a prayer of a rich man?
Maybe you technically don't have it, but
if the other person bothers you, then
then it's your loss as well. So why is
it called the a prayer of a rich
man? Says the point of the explanation
is as follows. And this is
powerful. What does it mean to be
wealthy? So wealthy doesn't mean that
you have everything materially in an
abundance and even more than an
abundance. That's not wealth. What is
wealth? I'll say it in Hebrew and I'll
translate it and we'll explain it.
Wealth means that you are a
usher. In your bones, in your essence,
you're rich. So we're not talking about
stuff. We're not talking about physical
things because you can have all the
stuff. No, you're not considered
wealthy. Why? because you're concerned
about somebody else. rich a rich person
again usher you're rich in your bones in
your essence you're rich what does that
mean and explains because what is the
what is the definition of a rich person
what is the definition of a poor person
and gives one word a rich person is a
mashia and a poor person is a mabo a
rich person is a giver and a poor person
is a
receiver so we have two definitions
A rich person means in essence you're
rich. And rich means what? You're a
giver. And a poor person means you're a
receiver. What do we see from here? That
even if somebody
has tremendous
abundance, tremendous wealth, but the
tremendous abundance and wealth that you
have, it's not yours, but you received
it from somebody else. You're a poor
person. You're a receiver. As long as
what you have, you receive, you're
poor. So what is someone that's rich?
That you have
everything. You have
everything. If you have everything, then
you're rich. If you need something and
you take something and you want
something, then you're poor. There's
he'd like to connect this with a
powerful teaching that says, I'll say it
in Hebrew, I'll translate it.
elabas poor is defined by das
there'sma and it's a deep place in the
mind that's what defines if you're poor
and what is rich it's defined in your
das what does that mean so what does das
mean the explains das means and he uses
two terminologies two words hakara and
harasha hakara means recognition
Harash means to
feel. So dash means you
recognize and you feel
it. And from the qualities of
recognition and feeling
over I use the Hebrew
words which is referring
to. So the Reb is differentiating
between
and is understanding
intellectually bina is
comprehension and das is recognition and
feeling in other words when a person is
masculine maven it means he uses this or
bina so what does that mean you don't
know it yourself
but you're receiving
data means yeah I got this data means I
got this
data d means that you recognize it and
you feel it you yourself feel it and you
and you grasp
it and that's why when it comes to
defining if someone's poor or someone's
rich it's not in because you receive
that's poor it's not in be you receive
that's poor where are you rich in das
Why? Because when it comes to
understanding
from so you acquired it but you don't
know it. It's data that you received. So
even after yes you understand it etc.
you're still
poor. But when you have das then you go
out from the place of being poor and
being to being rich.
Now so we know that the power where is
the real power the real power is in the
development of
das and for example is a powerful
example when a person makes a decision
to do
something because he recognizes and he
feels key words recognizes and feels
not understanding and comprehension but
when he recognizes he feels this is what
you have to do so then your decision is
strong much greater when if it came just
from or the terminology like he
uses why is that because when you
comprehend something
withina so it's discussion in your mind
with in your own mind with with someone
else etc which means there's room for
another opinion so therefore when a
person makes a decision based
on it's not
strong cuz it's up to negotiation.
However, when there's her and her gusha,
when there's a when there's a a a
recognition and a feeling in the essence
of the
logic, then when you get the the the to
the depth of the essence of the
reasoning, there's no other reasoning.
There's no opposite reasoning. You got
it. There's no there's nothing else. You
got it what it is. And then when a
person makes a decision and a
resolution from a place of hakar, it
doesn't change. When a person put their
das into something and you made a
decision based on das, it's not
changing. So based on says you can say
that this
that without ds is considered poor. It's
not only in reference to the person
because again when it comes to
understanding of it's something which is
external to yourself and the person is
lacking. So you're considered poor. But
even when it comes to the comprehension
besides the human being, the
comprehension itself because since when
it comes to an understanding of it's
possible to do the
opposite. On the other hand, when
someone is wealthy in his essence, so
there is nothing that's le lacking. When
you're connected with
das, you got it.
it's yours. There's nothing that's
lacking. And
therefore, so when a person's a real
rich person, which means he gets it and
he's an usher, he's wealthy. He didn't
receive it from anywhere else. He got
it. He owns it. So what happens is now
you as a wealthy person, you're praying
for someone else.
So even if when you're praying for
someone else and it bothers you they
don't have and it's as if you're lacking
that same thing there's no there's no
doesn't come I'm lacking and because I
got it yes I feel bad the other person
doesn't get it and I'm praying for him
and I I I feel but it's not like an
external thing that that I'm losing my
richness and that's why the prayer is
called a prayer of a rich person
powerful insight to what a rich person
is to recap a poor person someone that
receives that means even is is poor das
when you get it you have our you got it
then you're rich and even if you're
concerned about someone else's lack of
needs it doesn't change you're still a
rich person in the
bones will understand this with
introduction what does it mean someone's
rich literally and like he brings from
the from the from the what we just
discussed before that a rich
person not only does he have what he
needs but it it's with tremendous
abundance. So therefore the difference
between a poor
person even if he has
everything compared to a poor po a poor
person is in two two areas. What what's
the difference? Because even when a rich
a poor person has many many things, you
can't compare him to a rich person
because the poor person like we learned
again it it's it's all external stuff.
It's not it's not really the person's.
So in essence, the person is a receiver
so it's not really
his. Okay, he has the things but it's
not really his. So you can be poor and
have everything but you're still poor
because you don't feel like it's yours.
A rich person is rich on its own. He has
everything. So if he has stuff he
doesn't have it doesn't doesn't doesn't
affect the person. That's one component
that the difference is that the poor
person whatever he has he doesn't feel
like he has it and the rich person what
even whatever he has that's not who that
doesn't make him rich. He's rich because
he's rich on his essence. The second
point is that the rich person actually
has tremendous
abundance that the poor person doesn't
have. That's two ideas. Now you can say
that in on the spiritual level the these
two components are connected. In other
words, in order
that the things that you
need, you should have it in a way not
that you're receiving it from somebody
else but you have it from yourself. How
does that happen? It happens when you
have a tremendous abundance of flow
higher than what when what just not to
have that you shouldn't be lacking. What
does that mean? What does that mean
practically? There explains
powerfully when a
person is serving Hashem just based on
intellect. So besides the fact that
intellect is only finite, it's only
going to give you whatever you're
lacking. So you're you're missing in an
internal level the
relationship. Why? Because when your
connection to Hashem is based on
intellect, it's possible that uh you can
you can come up with a with an opposite
reason. But in order that you're serving
Hashem should be in a way that it's not
possible for any other option to be
that's when you're serving Hashem from a
place of there is no limits a place of
real wealth.
So said in order to understand this idea
which basically means wealth higher than
just filling the void. So he he gives an
introduction discourse that even when it
comes to filling the void there's two
ideas like the verse
says that what the person's
missing it means he had even he had
luxuries and like the tell us what's
luxuries for example those days luxuries
was you had a you had a horse that ran
in front of you you had servants etc. In
other words, means the three
levels means to give a person whatever
they need. Basics.
Basics. Then he says you have to give a
person certain luxuries that you were
used to. Why? Because you're used to it.
And what is wealth? Wealth is a
tremendous flow of abundance much more
than luxuries. So there's three levels.
One is giving someone basics. One is
giving someone luxuries. that we're used
to. And then one is like an abundance
without any calculations. And he
explains that these three ideas, in
other words, two ideas in giving
something that you're lacking, either
basic needs or luxuries that you're
lacking and wealth, tremendous abundance
also exists on a spiritual level. And as
we know, everything that exists in this
world exists on a spiritual level. What
does that mean? And he explains like
this. When it comes to the revelations
on high, there's three three there's
three general revelations. One is called
I'll say the Hebrew words I'll I'll
translate and explain it. One is
called the way God fills the world. It
means there's light which can be felt in
the world. Then there's soal this
powerful light that cannot be felt in
the world with this powerful energies.
And then there's the essence of the
infinite part of Hashem which is higher
than Mali and he explains the first
level of malicin the part of Hashem that
fills the world. That's the light that
gets him clothed in the world.
and every single creation of the world
to give it to give it its energy. Like
Kazal tell us just like the soul fills
the body. So the same thing also Hashem
fills the
world and just like the energy of the
soul is in the person's body and it's
based on the the limb that it's giving
energy to because obviously every limb
needs a different type of energy. The
same thing also with the energy in the
world which so it fills the world based
on every single different part of the
world what it needs. That's called a
malic means in simple it gives every
single part of the world the energy that
that specific part of the world
needs. Then there's what is that? That's
the light which is higher than being
encloed in the details of the world. And
that's why called slave. It hovers over
it hovers over the world equally. But
even though it hovers over the world, it
has a connection to the world. And
that's why it's
called it hovers over the world. So what
would that analogy be? That would be
like the the energy of the soul in
itself. Like we say the soul is
a the soul is alive in its essence. So
even though it's much higher than the
energy that comes into the comes into
the body but it's the source of energy
that from there the energy goes into the
body. What is that called? It's
called and and if you know the the
vowels you
have so it's
a and what's the difference between a or
with a with a
because means that means the life is
connected to the world. the life of the
world. the life of the world and that's
connected where to the to to the level
of
mamali with a so is not connected is
life's world is world it means means
it's living on its own its essence and
that's
called and you can say that even in the
level
of its own which is it's still called
and why because it's the source that
from there life comes into the world and
And he continues on the discourse to
explain that is called like we just
learned. But it's also
called the the life of the life. In
other words, what's life? That's the
part of life that comes into the world
male. And the the part that that hovers
over the world that the source of life
is
called and that's why that's what what
tell us
from that's how God gives us life know
from the source of life from that's how
life comes into the world
now and that's why tell us based on the
verse so what does that
mean singing a
um in the future for the day when when
it's going to be to totally Shabbat and
resting for the life and again life of
the world. So over there it also says
when a what is that referring to? It's
referring to and in the future when
Mashiach comes we're actually going to
rest. We're going to have a we're going
to have it resting even from the level
of even from that powerful level. Why?
Because when Msiah comes in the future,
what's going to be revealed? Not only
Mali for sure, not only but even what's
going to be revealed then is the
revelation
of the essence of the infinite part of
Hashem which is higher than connecting
to the world which means higher than the
level of and and and like the verse
says we're going to have the life from
two days referring to the future
comes. So the explains in the Torah. So
the the two days is referring to two
revelations
of and the third day is referring to the
revelation of the essence of the
infinite part of which is much higher
than any connection to the world. And
that's why it
says on the third
day which means we're going to connect
to the internal part of the essence of
Hashem. And the point says that the
literal translation of yayim and yashi
is referring to three different times.
Yayim is referring to this world and the
garden of Eden or this world and the
days of
Msiachi is referring to a whole
different level of what? when the dead
are going to be res resurrected and the
connection between these two ideas of
these two times that is referring to the
revelation of a and as we know when when
we're when we're going to have the
resurrection of dead we're going to need
the revelation of the essence of hashem
now these three components know the two
components of filling what's
lacking basic
needs which means even if you're used to
certain luxuries and the idea of a
wealth
in the revelation on high is exists also
on on three levels. In other words, the
two ideas of filling what's lacking
either the basic needs or if somebody um
is used to more stuff is connected to
the idea of mimal and mal would be the
basic needs and is the luxuries because
even when it comes
to has a we said it has a connection to
the world and therefore when this this
light does does not reveal the the world
so what happens the world is missing and
like tell us based on the
verse when God created the world. So he
finished on the seventh day. So So what
what was missing? So it says what if God
finished what was missing? Was missing
was to rest. What came came Shabas? Now
we have rest. So what is manuka? What is
resting? And this is very powerful. You
should know what you're doing in
Shabbat. Shabas is all
about bringing in the part what cannot
come into the world. Bringing that um
into the world. But nevertheless when
that was not revealed into the world the
world was missing because we need to
come into the world. But when Shabas
came and what came into the world what
got revealed into this world was a level
of now what was missing was was missing
got completed. So therefore the
revelation of is also filling what's
missing but however the the filling
what's missing through the revelation of
of of mal is the first level day basic
needs. So Mali de is connected to Mali
Malali
fills and to fill what's missing the
luxuries comes
through even said a horse running in
front of them and servants and wealth is
the revelation of the essence of the
infinite amount of hashem which is
higher than any connection to the world.
Now the difference
between which we said is connected to
Malak is connected to se um and in and
uh in is practically speaking to a poor
person. It's not only that what's
lacking is is is is a great a greater uh
what's lacking is a simple thing is
bigger stuff. It means he needs a horse
and he needs his luxuries. But
even is only but somebody that was used
to it. So means you have to give them
basics is bigger stuff. It's not only
bigger stuff. Who do you give bigger
stuff? Only someone that was used to it.
But if you you weren't used to it,
there's no reason to give it to the
person. Now based on we know that
everything that exists in the Tory is
very very specific. So you have to say
that the comparison of the two
revelations of mal
and which we connected
to isal and is connect it's not only
because the revelation of is a high
revelation and that's why it's connected
to but also because fulfilling the gap
of just like we said you're used to it
the is only for those that are used to
that level. So you can say the
explanation is based on what it says in
the discourse that this when it comes to
the three levels of love. So we know it
says in the say you should
love that's the first level with your
whole heart both hearts with your whole
soul
and so the the is now connecting these
three
levels and love to the three levels
before and the essence of Hashem. In
other words, the love of is connected to
what? The way it feels. In other words,
what's the connection? When a person
meditates that the energy of everything
is God. Wow. So, you're going to come to
love with your whole heart and it's
double heart which means both both your
sides, the godly soul and the animal
soul. And since the energy of of of a
malic is something that we can
internalize. So therefore when we
meditate we'll realize that we'll
realize it not only in the godly soul
but more importantly in the animal soul.
So mali kalin is connected idea of the
love which basically comes into animal
soul that's the the first level of love
the way that comes into the animal soul.
What's the
love that we say is
connected? What does that mean? When the
person
meditates that godly energy which comes
into the world even even though it comes
it's only a ray it's nothing the energy
comes it's just a ray of hem you can't
compare to the essence of hashem which
hovers over so now you start realizing
not only the like the godliness that
comes in the world but you're realizing
you're you're going high you're
realizing the greater part of hashem how
awesome hashem is what is in this world
is only so then what happens is you come
to a different
level. I mean, you love Hashem in a
level of with your whole soul and you're
willing to go on self-sacrifice. Even if
Hashem takes your soul and as you're
willing and you're ready to go out of
your physical existence and you want to
cleave and connect to the infinite part
of Hashem and this level of love, that's
already not coming from the animal soul.
The animal soul wants to stay here. This
is already coming from the godly soul.
And there's two reasons because the
comprehension of on the level of harasha
like we learned before and that brings
the greatest level of aba comes from das
about the awesomeness of the infinite
part of who can do
that only the godly soul. Why? Because
the godly soul source isn't the level of
however a regular creation of the animal
soul which it comes what's the source of
shame which is mal it's impossible to
have within it even in
angels and how much more so in animal
soul a comprehension a level
of in the level of an infinite part of
hashem that's one reason and also the
animal soul is is is a mus it's
something what's the love of of my whole
soul I'm leaving myself the animal soul
is not leaving itself the godly soul
will leave itself and and come with
hashem and and the animal soul is not
becoming a nothing
so the animal
soul is the godly soul it's willing to
leave because the love
of the first love which comes on based
on the meditation and the recognition
that the energy of everything in the
world is
godliness. So yeah, my world, my
physical world, and guess what? Hashem
is here in this world, but it's my
world. I'm not giving up my my right to
exist. And it's just like a person loves
himself. What does that mean? You love
the energy and you like the the
expansion of your energy. And when you
and even and and when you realize that
the main thing is godly energy, but and
and you want a godliness, but
nevertheless, it's fine. I still exist.
So therefore that love is coming from
the animal soul. However, when it comes
to which you have a will and you have a
desire to leave your your physical
existence and you just want to become
one and you want
to with the infinite part of Hashem, who
does that? Animal souls don't do that.
The godly soul does that. And since the
source of the godly soul is in the name
of
hemutk and even after it came down to
this this world it's still part of like
it
says the nature will connect and
therefore it has a want and desire to
leave self and to go into the infinite
part of hashem and based on its known
that the soul came down into this world
what's the reason why the soul came down
this world to elevate and it's by coming
down this world it's going to go to a
higher level than before it came down to
this world. So obviously it's understood
that the intent of the soul coming down
into this world is to go into it to it
to its source and even higher than its
source and that's the love
of
self-sacrifice and totally becoming one
and leaving and becoming unified with
the essence of the infinite part of
which is actually higher than so based
on this you can say that this that
fulfilling what's lacking by revealing
is connected
to which means what do we say? When
someone was used to having that type of
wealth, the godly soul was used to that
kind of wealth
because before the godly soul came down
into this world where was it? It was
with it was with so connect
the so says one second we have to
understand based on what we we just
explained that this that the revelation
of is basically connected to the idea of
something that that that filling
something that was lacking applies only
to the to the to the soul not to however
when it comes to the creation you can
say that the re the revealing is going
to fill what what's what's missing. Why?
Because they weren't used to it. They
never had it before. The animal soul.
Now, that's what we just learned. But
this study brings in the discourse, what
was the world lacking? It was lacking
peace. What it means what was lacking
that they didn't have the peace
of. So on the other hand, we're saying
the world was missing it. Here we just
learned who's in who was connected to
the godly soul. But the fact is what we
just learned before the world is missing
it all as well. Not only the godly
soul you can say that since the
[Music]
um main intent of the soul coming down
into this world. It's not to elevate the
soul. Yeah the soul gets elevated but
it's not the main reason why we came
down to this world to elevate the soul.
But we came down to this world world to
fix and to elevate the world.
That's the intent. We're here to elevate
the world. So therefore, when a person
has the love
of which again is coming from the
soul, the soul wants to leave this
world, but but where you having you're
having the soul in this world. So what
happens is even though it's the soul
that wants to leave, but where's the
soul having this year? In this world. So
the world gets elevated.
And the world gets elevated to a higher
level and therefore it has a connection
with se just like the soul has a
connection with and up to the point when
is not lighting in the world was not
shining in the world the world is
lacking he'd like to um add an
explanation on this based on what it
says in discourse that the two
components of andal are connected we're
going now deeper the two connection the
connection of Mali is connected to the
name of and like I explained many
places that the name
um it's it's not only a
protection that hides and conceals the
the light of
Kb but
also the light of youth. So one hand we
we always learn that the alkim is meant
to protect and it conceals yk but also
that the the light of yk the way it
comes down and it gets contracted
through the n the name to be a source
for the everything that's created in the
world which basically is the light of
mallay is also is called
shame in other words so on one hand it's
there to protect but in the other hand
shame kbk needs that to protect it so
youth kbk can do it job in this world
and like the author explains in Tanya
that the creation of the world comes
from where Yudk
vke
mean is name of mahabak a creation.
However, if the creation came just from
y the world would
totally be blown away. So therefore in
reality in action it comes through the
name. So you can say the same thing also
when it comes
to that the main energy in the world we
see it as male. No the main energy in
the world is actually
from but in order that the world should
be able to remain a physical world. So
the way it comes into the world it comes
through Mali. So it's a whole different
concept on one end you're saying is oh
the purpose of Mali is so we can have
the light in the world but what's for
Mali it's not for you
vkeim is to protect no but ultimately
it's bk that's creating the world elim
allows you to come in the world allows
to come into the world and say there's
two
components that the essence of the
energy of the world is
what if if if came into the world the
world wouldn't be a finite world and all
the everything in this world will be
equal and like D explains in Tanya that
if the creation of the world would have
been from v there wouldn't be time there
wouldn't be space but since the energy
of the world
from comes
through which comes into the world every
single part of the world based on what
it needs so therefore you have a
division that's one component another
idea is that even the energy of the
world the finite energy and the vision
of the world that comes from Mali is not
coming from Mali itself ultimately it's
all coming from from what does that mean
explains like this he explains in the
discourse that what is mamal mallay he
gave the analogy of the energy of the
soul which comes into the
body and so is like the the energy which
and it's energy on its own and that and
that's a source of energy. That's what
we explained before in the discourse.
Now based what it's explained elsewhere
that this that the energy that comes
from the soul and comes into the body
it's not because is connected to the to
the to the to the soul itself that the
soul the soul that has it own energy.
Why? Because the level of the expansion
of the energy for on its own can't give
it can't can can give up that energy and
this is the energy that comes from the
from from the soul is because it's it's
it's connected to the source of it. So
you can say the same thing also with the
Mali and the power in Mali which
basically means the expansion of the
energy into in every area what it is to
give us energy it's not coming from
because Mali has that energy but the
energy is coming from because connected
to which basically which is has its own
life so is almost like like a like a
glove but what's what's behind the glove
the energy that's in the glove
So this bas says you like I like to
explain what it says in in discourse
that is
called like we said the light of the
life or with which means it's the
essence of the energy. So you can you
can say that the name and is referring
to two components. This why it's called
because that's from here comes the the
the energy from and this way it's called
because from here comes the energy in
the inali to give life to the world. So
there's two components. You have mamali
which basically gives the life to the
world. On one hand the source comes
from and now that even the part where
mali is doing its job that also is
coming
from he'd like to add that this that the
energy which gets that which which
spreads out to give energy to the whole
body um is revealed. You're revealing
the know that the part that has the
power to give energy to the the body
even though
in it's much higher than than spreading
out because what does it mean that it's
the source of energy of the energy. So
basically the explains this that we say
that with that is
called which means this life of the life
that the life which is the essence of
life is basically the idea of which
comes into Mali. There is a basis you
can say that based on these two ideas
with the of the energy that comes into
the world that on one hand you see a
finite energy but in in the internal
part if you go behind the curtain it's
actually infinite and therefore it has
the power to create finer things in the
world. So you can say that you have
these two same components in the world
as well. In other words, what does that
mean? If you look externally
uh so yeah the world has finite
energy and the revelation of so that's
part that you know that gives it wealth
but if you look
internally what do you see in the
internal part of the world no you see
the real energy because it has that
energy because it's connected to its
source and through the level
of so what happens then is the souls
gets revealed the internal part of the
world and and through that what happens
is you're even in the world which looks
like it's lacking what get what's
revealed is a level of soybe and by
through so you can go ahead and you can
fill the gap in the world so that's in
terms of the two levels of Mali and
soybe which comes in the world now you
can say the same thing also when it
comes to it comes to real wealth what's
real wealth real wealth is
revealing not the essence of the
infinite part of Hashem which is higher
than
se and by revealing this in the souls of
the Jewish people again the revelation
of
the the essence of the infante we're
going to have in the future Mashiach
comes a a part of that in the world
itself because the ultimate goal that
light into the world like we learned
before till now and even the level of
what the
atmos so based on based on this he'd
like to explain what it says
discourse when they explain what what
the med says that prayed not for
himself. He prayed for the Jewish
people. What are the Jewish people in in
the world of the Jewish people of
Malus and the prayer and the request of
Moherenu the request of a rich person
for the Jewish people was that in
Malus what should be drawn down in the
air? the revelation of the essence of
the infinite part of Hashem, real
wealth. And based on that, the magister
explains that mob of for what did he
pray for the Jewish people is just like
the example he gave that that that a
certain country is destroyed and make a
decree it should be
rebuilt. What is the what is the country
referring to? It's referring to Malus.
And what is the what is the request?
That it should be rebuilt. Which means
that in Malus, what should shine in
Malus? the revelation of the essence of
the infinite part of hem and then it
will be rebuilt
a will be built
forever we have to understand mohenu is
praying for the Jewish people and he's
praying literally for the Jewish people
like the med
says and now we're saying is oh he's
praying for malus he's praying for the
Jewish people he's praying for malus
says says something very beautiful he
says like this by drawing in the
revelation of the essence of Hashem in
the Jewish people. So through that
you're going to have the revelation
where in malus which is the
source of the world and through that
into the world and to add just like we
explained before in
reference of the revelation of that
comes into the world through the Jewish
people and it was by re by revealing the
internal part of the world because is in
the world but it's internal we see so we
reveal the internal part. So the same
thing also when it comes to revelation
of the infinite part which is hiden
which comes into the world through the
Jewish people. How does that happen? By
revealing that the internal part and the
source of malus is the essence of hashem
and like he says in the discourse that
there's that the that the that the
country has destroyed is yours. Why?
Because the the the
sources and you can say that the reason
that he brings in
discourse the what it
says and we explained over there what
does it mean two days is referring to
the two revelations
of and the third one is referring to the
revelation of the essence of the infant
part of and these three components and
the essence of hem gets revealed in
three different times. Why is that? He's
trying to hint to us that even though
that time is from the limitations of the
world and the energy of of the world
which h which has in there an eternal
way is mumal but nevertheless it's
connected to and it's also connected
even the world's connected to and also
connected the infinite part of which is
higher than s and the point that says
the same thing also that's in reference
to time the time has all three
components and the same thing also in
space because we know that the the the
the makeup of the world is space and
time and what is the space of the world
which means there's different there's
different levels there's higher there's
lower etc and even though the division
of higher and lower in the world is
based on different types of energy so
for example mali the part that fills the
world like brings the verse that says
hashem stretched out his right hand and
created the
heaven he stretched out his left hand
and he created the earth And we know
shmayim heaven which is referring to the
higher worlds comes from the right and
erit earth the lower worlds comes from
the left and we know the difference
between right right and left is has to
do with energy which is basically the
level of male like he explains in the
discourse and it's obviously self
understood but
nevertheless the general idea of the
world is divided into three levels bria
y and which is also connected to the
three different revelations bri
connected
in the essence of and like it's
explained in many places that and the
explains it over here that the which
basically is the initial
creation you know the fact that
something exists before you create a
description and an image and a
revelation so that Bria is connected to
the the concealment of the essence of
the infinite part of Hashem so Pria Bria
is the highest level and once you
already have a formation
some kind of image that's a revealing a
little bit about the of the material
that's already connected which is which
is reveal which is which is revealing
the essence of Hashem and then when you
have tikas which now you have a specific
image that is the way um the the the
the comes into the world in every single
level based based based on based on
based on who who it is
Um, and that's also where it says in the
discourse based on on the expla
explanation of of the of the of the
blessing where it
says the one that created and then what
you're lacking and it says plural. So
there's two comp there's two components
in filling something which is lacking.
On one hand
it's the other hand it's and and
whatever you created. So the the so it
says in the that's referring to what the
things that are for pleasure and which
is the tremendous abundance of of wealth
which comes from the essence of the
empire and you can say this is the
reason that he brings this in in in the
discourse to hint us out that even in
this physical world you have all three
components. So you see that these three
components of mali and consum and the
essence of hashem applies to the three
worlds and applies also the different
the different energy into into each one
of the worlds itself. However the godly
energy which comes into the world which
means which is generally male. So where
does that revealed in the world? And
that's why that the revelation of this
energy hasn't happened comes through the
the work that the Jewish people do. And
like he explains in the discourse
of that the revelation of the three
ideas of and the essence of hem like we
already learned before comes from the
three different levels of
love. Why? Why is that? Because this
that the energy of the of a mali it gets
revealed in the world that means the
world realize that it has energy but you
don't realize that it's godliness but
when a when when is do when we do our we
pray and we study and we do mitzvot what
gets revealed in the world then no no
it's not just the energy of the world
but it's actually godly energy and and
and the and the and this energy gets
revealed now in this
world and the energy of so which is
which is not really encloded in the
world. It's called hovers over and how
much more so the infinite part of hem
which is higher than coming into the
world but it comes into the world when
do and the revelation of these the these
components of and the essence is when is
it going to be mashia comes in the days
of Msiah it's going to be first the
level of of revelation of and then when
you have the resurrection of the dead
you're going to have the revelation of
the essence of hashem which is higher
and he goes on the discourse to explain
that this That mo it's called we a he's
a wealthy person and like we explained
before that the mo is of a rich person
because why is that because mo is
connected to
das the higher level of das and he
explains there's something which is
called the lower level of das and it's
the higher level of das the lower level
of das where does it receive its energy
from because everything receives it from
a higher level. It receives it from the
external part of keter which is called
in ket you have and is the higher level
or the internal level is the lower level
the external level. So the lower level
of das gets from and das which we said
is daselium receives what from the
internal part of keter which is so
what's the difference between and means
the external part and the internal part
of and he explains like
this the lower part of kaser that's the
source of everything that's created
afterwards which is basically the idea
of it it's hovers over and it's a source
to the
world is the source of the
on the other hand it's the it's it's the
lower level of the creation which
basically is referring to the essence of
the infinite part of hem which is higher
than the world and since the revelation
of which is
basically is basically fulfilling what's
lacking and yes even though they're
luxuries and what is wealth is is is
specifically in the essence of the
infinite param which is higher than
which is atic so therefore in ds also So
where's wealth? Wealth is daf's ely
which receives what? From pimeer from
the internal part of kaser. And based on
we what he explained
before that taking away from being poor
know the the part that you're lacking.
How do you take that away? specifically
when it comes from wealth which is
higher than filling something that's
lacking but you know because when on the
other hand when you have just day and
even though yes you're giving the person
what they're used to luxuries a horse
and a servant but the fact is at an
internal level you're still lacking even
if you're going to have a tremendous
flow so you can say that even when the
when the person's service of Hashem is
coming from das which means recognition
and feeling but it's the lower level
love it's called which we see from so
then it's still external to yourself and
the person himself is still
lacking in other words it means a place
in the human being that there's that
godliness is not revealed so even though
there's a recognition and a feeling
because it's das but it's a lower level
das and the person himself feels it but
since the person's an a human being he's
a somebody and it's not that you're feel
it's about feeling
godliness. So then it's an external idea
to
yourself and to go now we're going to go
deeper into you can say deeper this that
the spiritual work of the lower level of
das basically there's something still
lacking it's because the human
being and your recognition in God is two
separate
things and even from the from the
recognition and a powerful version of
dash but it's a lower level dash
But it's still possible that something
should exist outside
godliness. And since the lower level of
dash receives from the external part of
keter which is which in generally
speaking it's a level of which is the
source of the word world. So even from
das it leaves room that something should
exist.
And that's the reason that when you
reveal this level, the person still
remains a human being and you remain
human being external from God. But in
order to fulfill the vacuum completely
which means there shouldn't be a place
where God is not revealed that only
comes from the level of which receives
from which is called and what in
cababalistic terms it's called receiving
from the essence of the infinite because
when you're coming to the level the
essence of the infinite part of there's
nothing else that exists and on the
contrary
It's the true existence of Hashem and
that is the true existence of everything
like the like the ramen writes when you
reveal that level of
da.
So the recognition of godliness it's not
that I am wrecking gods no that's the
all exist that's the only thing that
really exists there's nothing else that
exists other than
god so based on this he like to explain
why moenu which again remember we're
dealing with mo is
connected and moer is praying to fulfill
a need of the Jewish people is called
that's called a rich man's
prayer even though it bothers the Jewish
people are lacking
something and when you reach the level
of real wealth real wealth there's
nothing that's lacking nothing and it's
besides the fact by mo nothing's lacking
he's
connected the highest level of keter aic
nothing but com and compared to moereno
even the lacking of the Jewish people
and he's praying for
them. He doesn't see they're lacking.
Why? Because das receives somewhere
from and when you receive from a what do
you feel and what do you recognize that
the true existence of Hashem that is the
true existence of everything and
nobody's lacking anything. Nobody's
lacking anything. So why and so why is
pain praying for them? If nobody's
lacking, why is he praying for them?
Because the prayer is to fill what's
lacking. So you can say that that was
his
prayer that the truth that nothing is
lacking. That's what they should feel.
That's his prayer that you should feel
that nothing is
lacking. But by worship he felt it. He
felt that nothing was lacking in a
revealed way. And even when he had to
pray for
them and that's why it's called a rich
man's prayer. A rich man's prayer is
because he realized there's nothing
lacking by himself and his prayer was
that the other person should tack
experience that nothing is really
lacking and to
add that this that the prayer of mo is
called a rich man's
prayer not only because on the time of
prayer he's rich but more than
that he prayed because he was
rich because Misha Abenu's prayer was
that what should be
fulfill up the lacking of the Jewish
people and know literally the Jewish
people and also through the Jewish
people what's lacking in
Malus and what's lacking in the world is
that what's lacking should be filled
well his prayer was and this is the most
important part that there shouldn't be a
place where godliness is not revealed
And in order to fulfill this lacking
that every place God should be revealed
that comes by revealing
daselon when daselion is revealed
everyone has
everything you can
say that mere fact that king David wrote
this
psalm and he put it in his book of
psalms that every single Jewish person
says says even simple people that gives
the power of every single Jewish person
to
reveal real wealth that you have because
every one of us has a part of mob within
us and through that
fulfill what's
lacking in malus and in the world
literally filling every gap
that there shouldn't be a place in this
world that the godliness is not
revealed. Never say he'd like to connect
this where it says in the medish where
it
says
ish means a man of God and what does
that mean? He was the maj that when mob
went up to heaven he was ish he was a
man and when he came down he was alikim
and the previous explains in that in
that talk which is brought down in the
beginning of the discourse that you and
me could be called which is intellect
and he called ish which is referring to
the emotions. So what's higher?
Seemingly Odum is higher because it's
intellect and ish is lower. It's the
emotions. But this the med when he went
up to heaven he was an ish. Why is it
should have been which should have been
which is intellect is to teach us that
even when you're praying and you're
meditating about the greatest
loftiest ideas and you grasp them well
and you're going up to heaven. You have
to remember that you're a niche. You
have to remember that you have emotions
and you have to remember you have
emotions that need to be transformed and
and and and and refined. And when you go
up to the highest levels, you remember
that you're a human being aish and you
and you refine your character when you
come down from heaven afterwards you
become a lim. And alim comes in a level
of judgment. And also comes from the
level of power that you have the real
power to make a judgment with yourself
that your behavior should be the way
it's supposed to. And based on what it's
explained that idea of which is
underscored by the
prayer which mo is a real rich person
you can say that the work of an ishaim
is also connected to the idea of real
real wealth. And what does that mean? It
explains the three ideas that we learned
in
depthal and which is higher than those
three loves that God comes into the
world. God hovers over the world in the
Hashem. We also have these three ideas
in the human being that the revelation
of the soul is similar to the revelation
of
mal and the essence of the soul which is
connected the essence of hem and just
like on
high from the revelation perspective of
mal
and there's possibility for exist for
for something to exist outside godliness
and this and the true existence
is only godliness only when you reach
the highest level the essence of hashem.
So the same thing also our spiritual
work is that in order that when we
meditate and when we pray and it should
have an effect on us the whole day ish
to refine our character and we should
come down to make a proper judgment that
only it happens when our prayer comes
when it's connected to the essence of
our soul like mob real wealth and notice
and to add that was explained
discourse that when mobu prayed for the
Jewish people. So it's praying referring
to the the level of sphere of mal as two
components. Component number one is to
draw down the ray of the essence of the
infinite part of hashem and through that
you can elevate malus. That means malus
will be elevated from down here on a
high level up to bringing it to the
level of the essence of hashem. And by
doing that you can bring down the
essence of malus down to the slowest
level. So as you can say the same you
can say the same idea these two ideas in
malus is the same idea of isalim in
other when hashem when when he went up
to heaven he was ish it means he
remembered that he had to refine himself
and when he came down he he he brought
it down to to to to
to refine the world in in himself that
through doing the avoid that when he
went up to heaven he remembered there
was an ish it means even when he
meditated in prayer he remembered that
he has emotions that he has to transform
and refine. And when it's prayer is on
that level and you're connected to the
essence of your soul, then you're
bringing down that essence of your soul
down into this world. And this way you
elevate this physical world. And by by
doing that, you're bringing in the
essence of the essence of par to elevate
malus which is source is in atmos. And
when doing our spiritual work that when
he came down from Elo from the heaven
elim through the prayer he connected
with this essence of of of the soul he
he affected his his behavior a whole day
by is is drawing down and revealing the
essence of the soul in the materialistic
world and by doing that you actually
draw down and reveal into malus like he
says decree that it should be built
never finish it off and he says you can
save and that's why the beginning The
mah says mo.
So we said is a house and the end says
which is pleasure and we said that both
of them have the same letters because in
the beginning of the psalm he's
referring to
malus malus goes up
into and that's why it says you're
elevating malus elevating malus into but
is the same letters as which is
basically goes into um into sweetness
which is but at the end so the First you
elevate it, but the end it says noam
which is referring to Actic which comes
into Malus and through Malus in the
worlds of Bria A into this world you
bring in noam. And it finishes off and
it
says that the of of the optic should
come down on us because the main
revelation is to the Jewish
people on the Jewish people and through
the Jewish people it should get revealed
in the whole world. And when should that
happen? With the redemption, the true
redemption, the complete redemption
through
Mashiach with the coming the king
messiah very very soon and very very
quickly. So here you have a very very
powerful beautiful discourse. I mean
obviously heavy levels kabala malikam
atmas etc. But one beautiful lesson I
mean many beautiful lessons about what
is a rich person. A rich person is when
you're rich in essence and real richness
is about there's no self and just about
being bringing God anywhere into the
world. Let's hope and pray we can be to
reach that level of wealth about
bringing God into the world. No ego just
all about Hashem and we'll all merit for
the coming of Msiah. And next class will
be have a great and blessed week. Shabu
