#8 Jewish Souls - Who are u really? - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

so good day we're learning uh Tanya Tanya and psychology as I call it and we're on page 10. page 10. we're at the hago the the the the remark that's where we are but we're actually not going to learn that you know I'll let you guys learn it on your own whenever you wish I want to go to the text so this is on the fourth line The Fifth Line the words begin on be Alma foreign but to recap briefly the balatanya Salman has laid the groundwork for his magnum opus Tanya and that being that every Eid can and should be a banani what a pain in the is he hasn't yet taught us but he did teach us in the last year that abandon me is not someone that is half virtuous and half sinful if you look from the perspective of the soul of the nashama on the on the scale of good and bad and reward and Punishment yes the Commodore says abandon me is half and half but being that we need to look at these five categories from the inside since we want to know who we are and that's what the Tanya is about right people came to ask out the river I I want to dive in with more cavana and I have this thought that's disturbing me in order to dive in better with kavana it's not just a robotic thing in front of your sinner and look at the words and translate the words it doesn't work that way it's part of it but it takes an entire person to be focused with their cup with their mind mind Focus resulting in a heart connection to make the words of davening meaningful and this by the way my shape explains why in khabad in particular it's not just a Chabad thing but we find the habakka system of of yesteryear and some still today where they spent time in davening and Thriller for hours it's like hey you don't know how to read Hebrew you weren't talking how to read Hebrew okay I'll give you a Refreshers course no you know how to read Hebrew very well and David they know the meaning of the words very well but they're not there the words didn't grab them and they didn't grab the words why not because they're elsewhere they're elsewhere where are they everyone is somewhere else at a different time and if you if you're thinking about let's say the clients that this is going to have later in the day or tomorrow morning and the serious client serious issues is very much that's his role as a physician nevertheless at the time of doubling somehow you're supposed to vacate anything and everything I said this several times I want to say it again I once heard from him what is davening he said like this you know what happening is it is which in English means saying bye bye to the world every morning when you come to Daven my ship what you're supposed to do when you're diving is the world doesn't exist now when you double what exists is Hashem your sitter yourself and that's it and it's hard because we have the gapa in the rabbi saying this and the congregation's saying this that's too cold it's too hard to open the window close the window yes she knows I experienced them but she was when I was there yes Maisha the problem because I'm the guy but so I don't know that's the problem we'll address that soon but don't give up being Godly that's not the answer because that's that you're doing for the cheaper for the congregation and that's more important than anything else but somehow you have to find a minute or two where you could block out everything but let's let's go on we'll discuss that another time it means Hashem because it is an important point because you but you it's the God by him but yes sir he's a he's on call he's a doctor and and Dove is a dentist and and and and and the Elena sin is involved in his and young him and everyone has him I'm involved in mining on them and and the obvious and his name on him and every one of us has reasons why like someone just criticized me rightfully so I'm saying um with cavana and yet I have my cell phone and and I'm I'm I'm doing something I mean come on and he's right he's right the excuse I gave him was okay but you know I'm doing it for the tea board it was true because um Ari pfeffer wanted information about the shear so I told them the needs of the cheaper are greater than my darling but nevertheless nevertheless let's not always be right anyway let's go back to Tanya because we can bring about this for a long time so the point being says in order to to connect to Hashem you need to know who you are and that's where he that's how he that's the the underlying principle of Tanya of the safer is who are we and because of that he brings these five categories and he proves that if you just look at the technicalities you you won't affect you won't understand the various contradictions between talmudic's passages and other such ideas and we learned that all in last year so what we know is at this point is that abandon knee is not obeying me from a sole perspective an inside perspective is not someone who's just half virtuous and half sinful so that's we again we'll have to wait until chapter 12 it's 11 more chapters to really understand what abandon me is because to understand what Abate in the Years first he has to explain to us who we are what we have and then he talks about the two categories both of sadikim and finally in chapter 12 he begins talking about banani so again here you see what the alternate episode on the title page unison he doesn't say my but my has said this is it's a long short way could you imagine he asked the question he makes a position he forces you into a corner in chapter one and he doesn't give you the answer it doesn't tell you what opinion is the chapter 12 11 chapters later if that's not arucho I don't know what is long but the reason why he does it this way because it's really sort of if you want to understand and and and subsequently yourself you have to go through boot camp and the boot camp here is the 11 chapters that's the style of Tanya and that's the style of Chabad hasidus and those that invest in it I'm telling you come out cleaner cleaner a lot of the stuff is dumped out and those that haven't dumped out again they got to learn the time you again and that's why they learn it every year and like every year so now let's now go to the text it was just a little introduction to today's year this is a kind of rhetorical question that the outdo asks we're on the fifth line on page 10. foreign stop that's where the rhetorical question ends so if that's the case why am I telling you it can't be that way I mean I I've I've showed you without the rep is saying that it it can't be that way but nevertheless go out to the street and ask people about him or her oh he has so many Mitzvahs he's a Sadiq so all your philosophies that down to that was asking himself or my philosophies all my proofs seem to be meaningless that's the rhetorical question the answer is who shame hamusho it's a borrowed term a barreled name regarding reward and Punishment because a person is judged after the majority of what he does in judgment since he has more merits than sins so he merits in law indeed in judgment stop Avo however like Indian I meet this Shema Toya but if you want to talk about the true figure the name of a figurative name Bahama and the and the benefits about the various levels already said um [Applause] Within Me why because mother killed his yet Sahara and that's why he was called he says my heart is hallow because the Yates are that the mother I think of Brothers whoever didn't reach this level options although his merits are more than his sins amen those ridges should underline Malaysia it's not at all at the level and and and and and and the virtue of exotic at all so what's the answer is Sir from Hashem perspective means a barrel term yes people say about Maisha he's at sagic if Maisha could put up with what's going on in shul he must be exotic right but is he indeed exotic I don't know I mean that's not for me to say but I you know we're not Sadiq him we're being a potential pain in them in other words we're good and and one second one second is it and and but go say that we have no sins come on right to go say we're like Governor that he killed this yet Sahara goggle he's so old and at the last day he falls to his yet Sahara a person could never trust himself all the muscles for him are all about this you can never trust yourself within a moment a person can have a a snap and he goes into an affair whatever that Affair may be and for that matter it could be sometimes detrimental to health Etc suicide God forbid that everyone you know all kinds of issues depression or you become despair like I've lived 60 70 80 years of my life what have I done and if you and if you can't answer that question you become very very despondent so all of that all of that is a calculation that leads to to an inside call of who are we where are we so that the outfit episode someone who just has more Mitzvahs than Aveda is is not exotic at all again doubter app is coming from his perspective and his and his build up here of what Assad that can obania that Russia is which is dealing with the inside not the outside yes yes sir so here here he's saying that destroyed or slaughtered his youth Sahara he did that he was of a different status correct yet don't we learn later on that only certain people are born within a shuttle which is capable of attaining the status of exotic that's a very good question I was wait I was I was waiting for the question and it's good that you're asking it shows that you're you're thinking and and it's a good question I believe this is one answer when the alternative says later Israel mentioned that later the album you learned Tanya it it's understood from the outer red but that you're born within the the neighbor believes that Sadiq is born within the Hashem of it as we say says with a base which means a born birth means become became so the expression is it's a born thing not something that you become that's what this is referring to so he's asking the implication over here is that Melech was not exotic he had a yetzahara and then he killed it now let me let me counter with a question as I explained yes sir do you know of anybody that wasn't born with a Yeti Sahara the answer is no everyone is born with a Yates of Hunter because it says so on the date after day show the question is what you do with the it's a hunter so in other words yes sir even at Sadiq is Born the Yates of Hunter but this is very important the the offender of the Sadiq is such that his nashama has the capacity to eliminate totally completely or incompletely his Yates whereas abandon he doesn't have that capacity whereas the bathing is the Sharma doesn't have the capacity to completely or incompletely eliminate the Yates Ohio where there's no urge at all as we're going to learn later on in practice heaven and practice if you look at a bane if I line up a person who abandoning assadic and I say to you Avi which one is a topic or which one is abandon me you know what you can't tell you can't tell because both staff wants a minion they're both gifts are darker and both visit people in nursing home one second one second in Behavior you can't tell it's not in the behavior mode but in the inside mode the urge mode that's where there's a difference and the difference being please one sec the difference being that it's Sadiq or an incomplete sad that is able to um eradicate completely the yatesahara or incomplete versus a banging it can So my answer is short to you is there is that that that Sadiq is born with a gatesaharu but the side that the shama has the potential to eradicate it as in the case of David Miller whereas abandon doesn't have that and if you're going to ask me how do we know the answers we don't we don't here it happens to be that the Commodus spilled the beans the gamada let us know so is there asks a good question if that's the case so if you're asking me if it was in this physical in his physical in his physical body before he the children eradicate the eight so hard the answer is no but government had a soul that had had that was a Sonic soul with the ability to accomplish it and through his service to Hashem he accomplished it so in other words if David here's the point let's go one step further this great great discussion if it's Sadiq does it if it's Sadiq if someone who has a soul of a Sadiq doesn't work on eliminating his yet Sahara he will remain either a pain in the or Russia an exotic soul will be asleep and he'll die that way and he's not and we and he's not exotic yes sir yes okay so this you may not want to answer now but I'm going to set it up for when we reach that point okay that's not even in his thoughts does the Yates sir so now when we say that no no no no stop that's a mistake your statement is erroneous that is not what a Tanya says he said he says that as soon as a thought enters he pushes it aside chapter 12. and look up the lesson that means that means the thought the thought comes to him what government's taught speech or action is he doesn't he pushes it away but it comes if you will CH I want you to check later chapter 12 you'll see the language of the altered immediately as it ascends that means it ascends it comes to him foreign correct correct correct correct let's continue therefore the rabbi say they say to say but madrish Burg foreign [Applause] there are very few almost died he took them and he planted them in each generation the holy okay as it says that Sadiq is the foundation of the world just briefly there's a lot to discussion but briefly doubt there why does that have to bring this just to bring more support what he's saying with this few lines is why are there future my if it's Sadiq means more Mitzvahs than more avarice I can point to you to thousands of people do more mitzvous than affairs so this proves this matters proves and this measures God saw there were Fields if it's just the whole idea of Sadiq and obeying them is is how many Mitchells are there as you did they're not booted they're not few so what does the metrics mean so Dalton brings this this mattress proves that it's not just about the mechanics of how many you didn't and how many you didn't do and all that but it's about in the shama about the soul that's that's the Preposterous the reason why simply why doubt it ever brings this but here there's another thing that the rapper said once it's very important which points the whole pet the idea in this chapter it says you know where this is this is Yuma why does that ever choose Metro for Yuma so the answer so some say that you know why because the gamuta that section of the gamut is called I got it the story it's not like you know the law it's that God it's the story of the good mother so nevertheless why does Dalton ever save Yuma why does he say Memphis the devil once explained that the reason is because wants to emphasize right here in the first chapter that in order to understand this my savior his safer Tanya you need to understand it's coming from that perspective the Methodist perspective the inside the previous perspective if you were to say Gamora right with Gomorrah it then becomes technical my book is not about technicalities this is very very important it's a deep insight and he put it here in the first chapter in Tanya because it's it if you don't get it here you're going to have many questions later on in other words of course it's a Gamora but being that it was brought in medish that emphasites the Methodist to teach you and doubted episodes the measures to teach you that the whole approach of Tanya is an inside perspective a paninious perspective which is the measures compared to gamara which is I love her so then everything else follows what time is it now it's uh like seven after okay so here here concludes the that's why the colon here here concludes the the questions and the position that of these these five categories of us of people are not just a technicality and it's it's much more than that so what is it so now he starts his his his thesis based on the Ariza bearing and to understand this based on what we tell the prominent the project Israel to every Jew every Jew every Saturday whether it's Russia what is Russia Wicked yes stay in the Summers he has he or she has two Souls the Sharma is and souls I have made the beginning of this passage singular so the proof is not from the word nishamas which is plural this is great referring to every person right in other words you have to when I'm what I'm responding to is how is this approved to the Arizona's point that reason says every individual has two Souls that means God has made Souls plural but the answer is the beginning of that verse CC the verse is singular it's referring to an individual and yet the verse says every the individual has souls so this is proof to the reason of point that every individual has two Souls then doubt that ever says something fascinating Shaheen this is not from the arizo this is from the altariba hey foreign but what does this mean what's going on here well basically in brief we know that every person Kabula teaches us does it has five manifestations of soul nephesh ruach nishama the acronym of which is five the level of the shama Kabbalah says is a very special level not everyone has a man that manifestation they're having a potential but they don't have it in a in a revealed form says here when I'm when the Ariza when the Ariza says that everyone has two Souls he's talking about nefreshers that level of soul that is applicable to everyone and not the level of the shama which isn't applicable to everyone that's one explanation to why the altareba changes from the word the wording in the Ariza and the wording in the verse to the word nepheus because you should have said mice it doesn't say in some moist he says she ain't staying the first choice because nephesh is the animating it's part of the soul that that that every single person has including a Russia including a wicked person what are they never shakas one of these Souls look she says you're not the same he says is from the perspective of the negative side known as the Clipper the husk the shell the the extrenuous forces against God also known in Kabbalah as the other side of God the he and it is itself in the blood of man a man's life force is a goof to make us live to give up to that we get up in the morning and we eat then we run and we work all that comes from this nepheus it says for the soul of the flesh but them he it is in man's blood only man no additionally from this Soul Boys called me this rice all unhealthy ugly me there's bad meetings from the four the four elements the four negative elements come from it it explains anger The Giver conceit ego comes from the element called fire because with your anger you're not you're you know you're all on fire and so too when you boast when you when you when you Guyver you have that fire Shanique villamale says because fire raises up Rises upwards so too the you your your your personality your being is in a position of being upward in the mode of anger and the mode of Fire number two the Tiger pleasures indulgences comes from the element of water why kind of because water sprouts Gives Life Force to all kinds of Pleasures you need water to grow things three the meat is Called Homeless littleness of inspirus frivolity the sun is a scoffing like the spiders and boasting Battalion number four Idol chatter top of page love now everyone is from the element of air because it's a bunch of air both think posting Unison is not Guyver there is his spirus and this guy the Guyver means the man has something to offer but he's about guy but he brags but he has he has taken he has content his viruses he has nothing he's like a big balloon you put a pin in it the bus there's nothing there but he oh I'm this I'm that it's baloney that's why that comes doubted up it says from the element of air finally the axles laziness and depression Melancholy comes from the element of offer of dust because you're like dust when you're lazy you feel you know sluggish and all that I'm going to stop here and we're going to connect here to munchem talk more about these things
