#9 Ego is Human, Even a Tzaddik is born w Ego - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

so good day we're here learning Tanya tagging psychology when Paige revolves about to finish the first chapter we are on the first line the last two words that's where we're at but before that just to not only recap but really spend a few minutes on some of the ideas that we've learned yesterday we'd rather went rather fast at the end so I want to just go back the outlet here brings something that that was the closest pupil and student of the arizao and it's his writings that identify for us where the Ariza said are many or maybe most of the becoming the holy sites inherit Israel that all of us go to you live there um I'm not talking about the biblical You Know Places uh near in the service or nearby and um with the orange it passed and all those things that's that's biblical talking about where the buried and and Etc you know there's a lot of places so if if LeBron would not tell us and share with us that the arena said here is this where this Standalone lies and here's what this I might do is we wouldn't know so the prime vital is credited really for being the one to tell us what the adisal said about those and that's a very important thing but in addition to that foreign a great person and I'm a couple so Dr Deborah quotes him in the name of the arizao that every Eid has two nishamas so first of all the idea is not unique to khabar to the balatonya the adiq starts the idea starts already from the Ariza so that's very important to know that the concept of a Jew having what we call Two Souls Two nishamas it's our reason now if you don't accept the Ariza you don't follow the Kabbalah and all that it's a different story but that's important to know when you when you discuss these things with others and yourself okay number two he quotes a pasig about regarding the shamba and deposit I'm sorry he says I sent yesterday your innocent did you get it I sent on the on the group look it up over there the the if you didn't see it during this and you asked me a question so I sent it on the group okay so you have the The Source the citation and the lotion of the Posse because the Posse the support uh they are these are these out but now that ever says makes one one Nuance that is not in the Arisa as far as I know and that is foreign these refers to two souls in other words the meaning in Hebrew of the word nephesh and the word nashama In classical Biblical Hebrew in the talmudic literature is the same so but in Hebrews two different words so you have to ask yourself what's the difference and we're not the first one to ask and to analyze tighter that way already the commentator on on Tanakh that later the malbeam in the in the uh in the 1800s the famous melbin he he does it and kind of his entire safer which is a wonderful safer and commentary on Taylor is heavily based on the language so what we learned here in Tanya that the author episode obviously he's making a point and I told you yesterday that technically what the out there ever saying technically is the following that not everyone merits to have an experienced call of of the level of their so-called the shama since there are five levels the acronym of which is the level of the Shama is a very high level just leave it at that and not everyone has that shine into their body and and shine into their nephilo kiss needless to say to them is that for that you you need the schools or you need a gift from God what level does Kabbalah say is accessible to every yeet nephesh what is the difference I didn't say this yesterday I'm going to tell you now and it's important of it because this will be good for the rest of your life when you learn to see this what's the difference between between these five levels is the lowest because it represents action this world you don't need to be a World's genius to to put on a period film or to give to duck you just gotta do okay spirit ruach represents midoise emotions feelings you could put on filling and you feel dull and boring and it's like nothing you want to feel something you have to develop and work on your feelings emotions so that's ruach in other words if a person is living with the ruach within their shama they're not only serving God by acting doing their their the emotional component is active as well that's ruach the Sharma the third the third aspect of the Soul the the shama that represents Sega intellect not only do you do with your hands and do you feel with your heart and the emotions but you actually understand and I'm not talking here about that when I make this clear that you know when you learn something and you read something I understand it we're talking about uh a spiritual understanding a deep understanding that that transcends just you know a cursory reading and understanding of something that's not you don't need to be uh that doesn't prove yet you're learning with the Sharma that me what is what does it mean that you're going to shama within you the third level is active this means that your your mind becomes permeated with godliness with with God consciousness so that when you understand something with your Seiko what happens is God's kind of Seiko God's intellect permeates your mind and your mind now is a Godly understanding maybe later we'll talk more about it as we learn the Tanya because that just needs more clarification but I want to go on then there is the fourth level called higher what does higher mean life highest life is it right says refers to the Russian The Willpower within the individual in the willpower it's much more than just doing it's much more than feeling and it's even much more than understanding willpower is determination that whether you do understand you don't understand whether you do what you want to do you don't want to do the willpower drives the individual to the point where they do what God wants and willpower and therefore willpower is not an easy thing as we all know it's it's it's difficult but when you experience and you live your life with or part of your life where at certain times with Russian you're accessing the higher within your soul and then there's finally nothing else is there it's just yachid that's already uh Messina's nephe self-sacrifice where even if you don't do and you don't feel and you don't understand that you don't have the willpower somehow it gets you do it it moves you why because you're just one with God and the classical example is during the Holocaust this is from the Frida kareba or he's standing with other Jews who are not observing that the bombs were flying overhead and they said and these people that he talks about you know they weren't the people who were going to school every day they were secular and probably anti-religion but what but yet what happened here their pintali yeed their essential quintessential Jewish the Shama was touched that's and I would say that when someone is touched to come back to yiddishkite or the sky where they they were living another type of lifestyle and they you know were enjoying it or not but you know there wasn't and all of a sudden they're moved whether they were moved in a way that was very drastic whether they moved in a gradual way at the end of the day it comes from yehida for example is the fifth Fila right so the ELA corresponds to the conitre is the five fellows the five prayers and your keeper is brought in the Swarm hakadashim and the Holy Spirit is represented by the Ilah what's the Ilah what's the healer is hey it's the last time we can get in but you know traditionally the doors are open the architis is open doesn't get shut the whole time you don't open and close it like you do throughout the evening on your Kippur it stays open and everyone knows the greats hosts of buying the opening of the ELA it's a big big schools because the feeling is I'm in the ark with God that that's the emotions right there's no one else around it's my private bedroom no one else these are the five levels so in the Shama forget it forget about they talk about the shama is already a very very high level and the outdated says we do not expect and nor is it the reality that every Jew I.E the benignly the Prototype of this safer Tanya the average Jew is living with you with them with nishama they're not they're not one second their mind and their Seiko is their Seiko it's human intelligence understanding a piece of gamara to tell me that the human intelligence become God intelligence no yes Maisha from correct as life and you see the bespoke about the private moment of God go back just from save to netfish the very beginning Netflix is the basic the basic level of Living Action of being alive without any necessarily feelings and understanding just doing myself so in in Hebrew Maisha nephilis represents action Micah to do right so so in other words the fact that a person is alive because God gives them highest that's it without you feel you don't feel you understand you don't understand you're willing to give your life for God you want to be private with God no no well that's already different animations and levels so Netflix is considered the basic level that every Jew has for that matter every person has do we make a distinction between the first three of the Shama and then the answer is yes yes what we call the hasidus inner compartmentalized faculties whereas periphery all-encompassing equal distant throughout The Willpower of the foot the will power of the Mind the power of any other part the pleasure of the Mind the pleasure of the foot but I I don't want to really give a about that now but the answer is yes there's a difference between Naran and Hai okay now so therefore let's go back without the Napa says Shaheen stain the forces but he's telling us here is that these that every Jew has the basic two souls in the most basic way the first race nephesh in other words there's an orientation of Godly Soul within a person an orientation called bahamis animalistic soul within every single person and as yesterday user asked the question and we spoke about even government he killed this yet Sahara that means to the point where he killed it he obliterated it that he had no Trace whatsoever or no urge but it it came because a human being you hear this a human being when they're born in this physical world they're born which day in the flushes so in other words yes sir when we say when the Ariza says you see it says Russia just to continue on the line of your question whether he's righteous whether he's Russia that means even David Miller has stayed in the first so how do you reconcile the two if you're outside the car you have to in the Fortress the answer is you're born with tuna fishes and then you reveal that Sadiq within you if you have that to get rid of the yay Sahara you know one of these Souls it comes from the perspective of the husk the Clipper like the husk of a fruit covering the fruit the negative side and the other side and it invests itself in in the Bloods of man to sustain the body and then he says um excuse me this is the fourth line from the bottom on page 10 the second word um now if you ask the average person what is the nepheus tell me they'll tell you all the character flaws that a person that we have from Idol chatter to to frivolity to gaiva to boasting ego on and on it's often enough and is that true the answer is yes but not entirely correct and why because before he says there's a verb ooh what does The Verve imply and and from this Soul comes about the ugly character traits that means that before you get to the ugly character traits say you're you're a young guy and you you don't have yet these ugly caricature traits you still were born with enough as Obama's why is the downside of the nepheus if you strip from it the Midas rolls in other words what the alternative is saying here this is very important and this is an insight into Tanya that you only get from a tradition I heard this from my teacher to be all kind lord it's from his teachers and that is that what the alternate is saying here is that independent of the Medusa rice there's a problem with the nephew promise that we have and that is that it's Miss La beshe is a goof and what are we walking around with just from that ego not ego because I know so much or I'm so smart or I'm so accomplished no the fact that you're alive and you think and you feel you're alive and you walk around that I am alive that is and that's why Dr Eva says boys meet us rice is an afterthought only because we have enough that it's issue it's it's it's it's its Core Essence what it is is yesh existence do character flaws follow so in other words if we were to eliminate the feeling of yesh just the a the essential idea that I exist there wouldn't be the character flaws the character flaws are a result of a core essential problem that's inherent to life so it's like an oxymoron on one hand we say the arizo says we're all born with this has two souls and one being the nephew that means I'm born with it and then and then and then you tell me that it brings about as well bad character why am I to blame and the answer is you're not to blame one second exactly the answer is you're not to blame but that's who you are if anyone you want to blame anyone blamed God but it's not a blame game here this is the reality and this is a very important psychological insight and understanding humanity and human beings and the human species the human nature that human nature on its own bereft of bad character and bad behavior and all of that is problematic so well I shouldn't be a human of course you should be a human but recognize that if you don't change your Humanity you're in for a lot of issues later in life and that's it it's so deep you know I'm not a psychologist you know to have the right you know words I'm sure Dr twersky uh actually he spoke about this a little bit in the interview that we did I did with him but you know to find the right kind of psychological words and terms and ideas to express this idea but I I hope I hope what I'm saying is clear one second Maisha because it's yasadi it's foundational not only will you learn Tanya but in life because usually usually we we identify ourselves and others with with character issues with flaws as the altered puts it in the first chapter in Tanya this is the Assad for all of Tanya's my dear friends is saying my dear people before we deal with problems and character flows which is in the books of Musser this is a book of khasidis this is not a book of Musser and the Book of hasidus we look at core issues outside of this negative and this problem their problem for that go to a book and and the sales your children would give you solid suggestions important ones how to improve yourself or obeying if you want to go back a thousand years or racist and over there you'll find you know rectification for your avarice and whatevers are and how bad our favorites are this is I see this it it goes to the core element of the individual which if you deal with that then the issues that follow will be easier to be rid of Etc yes my I was just going to say that how you put it changing one's we're fine maybe we're finding one's Behavior to be able to deal with Humanity so I mean isn't that is that all that that's that's does not debate on me is not the idea yes that's that's that's the idea of debating me of the of the average person that's right and that's why not not like hello you know was thinking with you know that a bit it's not applicable to us debatingly because it's so lofty no dealing with the core issues for every average human being yes yes dude there's no when the when the baby's born until we reach I know we try to develop the self-respect of self the consequence of the uh of the king so that 2016 movies in the person the yeast beautiful [Music] right but but the alternate [Music] okay okay exactly uh now put the mute on if you don't mind so what we're saying is could you yeah thank you so that's why Dr Pepper's language is the fact that it's Miss labess's which is really a very interesting expression I was thinking about it here we're talking about a soul therefore the soul is spiritual right what do you mean the spiritual Soul invests itself in the blood of man yeah really if I cut open my hand here and blood comes out my soul is here that's what it says foreign [Applause] need it I I know what it says I know it thank you I know what it says now today but brings it the question is do you understand it does it make sense so you're learning hummus you know Adam who are nefish the translation of which is that the the blood of the of man and soul but in that context you're in a sin it's not like spiritual demo on Netflix here in the Tanya taltrep is bringing it to support a spiritual idea not a physical idea and and what is he saying that the spiritual soul because he was talking about the spiritual Soul he's not talking about the Goof the spiritual soul is bislabeshit and you need to answer your question the word Muslim according in the literature of Tate including refers to getting dressed up when you dress up you go into it not too far from the outside that's why the language is Miss La beshe so again maybe it's confusing with today's modern Hebrew or whatever but in the language of of this in particular refers to an inside a panini youth I get involved I get dressed up inside whereas what you set up defies like from the outside and what's the explanation so what's the explanation the explanations I said as soon as we're born we're born with ego the yes like you listen said before that that that's felt it up his message from birth there's a there's a famous um that my teachers shared with us when we started at military below the Sheldon games and he was the first one and it's from the rapper Seekers but I've never heard it before this was when we got the Morristown so that our box set it's now did our bag or or uh no I forget the another name the other safer anyway it sounds like this team look Mission an infant from the moment of birth begins to dry up you hear the quote Mission Island what's the point death begins at Birth not death comes at 118. that's the conclusion of death the beginning of death is the moment you're born why what's the what's the Havana what's the deep understanding of that that by the very nature that yesh is created yesh is associated with drying up dying withering meaning that the issue of yesh it is is the problem so ultimately the end of one's life the yesh comes to its end but but we understand from this concept that it's it it's a process throughout our lifetime of which we are to elevate and rectify and everything else if this is not said to be a morbid idea oh I started to die when I was one day old that's not I mean you know it sounds that way like oh wow what a what a religion I was born into like thank you very much right go out to a college campus and tell it to the young kids right they'll say leave me alone with this religion it's not something but here we are you know learning and deafening mature older it's to me it's it's a very rich idea because if you understand and that's without that ever says here that's why I'm taking so so much time and talking about this episode here that the issue of them in and of itself independent of women of boys that from it comes this ugly character trait this ugly anger and costs and giver and wasting time no no no no no no before all of that just by existence you got yes and you got problem and you have to change it and you can change it like Marsha said this definitely have been in it what time is it I guess we didn't one sec yes go ahead okay so my wife asked me does she want me to ask you
