Divine Providence is Seeing G-d

and we're on in the mimer um the whole malibu from 1941 out of rosh hashanah leo sulishi actually the third day of sleepers we're on page nine uh moshe sent out the copies so i hope you have him on your uh whatsapp and we're discussing now the idea of ria sichus and ria two types of observation two types of seeing one is called the intellectual seeing or the mind's eye and the other one is tangible seeing like that you see with your eyes and we left off yesterday with the rebbe said and he made a very important point that both types of observations will be better appreciated and and and will resonate better if you have an understanding of what you're seeing whether it be seeing with the mind's eye or physically seeing it if you understand the subject matter then the result is is healthier and better and clearer this is where we're at so now we're about 11 12 lines from on page nine and uh he's over here um oh let's see hold on okay uh behold said so this would be three about ten lines in the top the the beginning of the line the jose intellectual one the mind's eye number two and the tangible one miss they differ in their yahusab in this sense i believe means in their result hainu they differ in the manner in the matter in what we see and he explains when you're using your although it's being filtered through the human mind which understands what you're seeing with the mind's eye very well i and like you quoted yesterday remember pierce yoga says to see the future you don't see it now let's say stocks right you don't see what the stocks you don't see this the worth of the stock in a month from now but you understand based on market conditions banks are based on election coming based on the the the the type of stock that you're looking to purchase or not purchase based on the economic situation and the and the world politics you then make a decision whether there's a good investment or best a better a bet a bad investment right so the the mind's eye makes a decision and is enhanced based on comprehending what's going on over here so this is what he says even though it filters it goes through the filter of the human mind behold that nevertheless miss jaches jose ella nefesh it has an association more with the soul i i want you to know that when we literally see this it's not about shaking our heads yes yes yes rabbi you have to understand you must understand otherwise it's saying olive base and we're not governing we're saying tell him now we need to understand what we're saying what does it mean and the english translation means it it's associated more with the soul and this is what he's saying the result in the context of a relationship [Music] it's associated with well but let me explain this the fish the soul the nephesh is the is the abode of spirituality of luchnius whatever in your life is a spiritual experience or you think of it as a spiritual experience and if indeed it is it's associated more to the soul it's not the body because the body wants to you know the famous um vert i think they they say it's it goes back to the face of the bling goof the word goof right so this is what we say goof is a is an acronym for freshen the body wants to indulge in eating freshness so then we say to the goof hey goof if you're going to fresh then what's going to be is number two second acronym goof vet pagaden the body will die like a pagar means a corpse so why do you want to fresh if you're going to become sick and the third acronym is the response nebuch of the gulf which is goof ville fort i still want it i know i'm gonna got to be die i know god's we're not gonna be sick but i still want it that's our goof so let's not kid ourselves guys the golf is very animalistic the goof is very driven to taiva the goof is driven to gasoline okay tell me the last time one second one second tell me the last time you saw someone who runs to schule and runs to learn with the same passion as he does after a first date when he hasn't eaten 24 hours tell me the last time you've seen yourself or someone else who run who who does a mitzvah of ava with the same the schmuck as he does when he collapses on the couch aft schvitzing and running around all day does he need a premeditation to fall asleep well as soon as he sits down and goes he's out no preparation why because the goof is such a thing that it automatically is associated with gashmius so that's what it ever says when you're talking about the mind's eye that ever says here we're talking not about a physical seeing but more of a spiritual seeing so that element is associated more to spirit versus material to soul versus body hillary you wanted to ask something yes so um here it seems like you're you're explaining the word nephesh um in the kind of the generic sense like you would say an english soul that's a term you use but throughout the tanya it makes this very important central distinction between that they're two nefa shows that live within us that fish and bahamas and the nephilim foods so is is is there any kind of uh connection here between uh the implication of which nephesh we're talking about here in in general in in hasidis khabad when you learn a mimer like here and it's not the the place where they're discussing the differences between the souls the nephesh refers to the animating aspect which is associated more to the nephesh obama is that never should accuse but but it's still a spiritual entity uh well some meaning like that about the longview tell the life force that and so to speak so the implication when you're using the term methods here is of the one might say like the energetic substrate that that expresses itself within us as both an average province and an episode in this context yes but again but but over here he's he's identifying nephesh as let's continue now he goes to the second type of riyamoshi is what about the actual scene with your eyes the tangible what you see we said earlier that to appreciate what you see by understanding it properly you you're seeing will be more correct nevertheless yo that seeing is associated more with the body the goof sees i see it's sunny outside now that's what i see you're gonna tell me that i understand that it was dark before i understand there was sunrise and i understand the purpose of the sun and on and on very very nice very good but at the end so but at the end of the day what what sees your eyes sees and your eyes are gosh knees so therefore the second type of rhea innocent is beside me is more associated with the goof the indiana now that ever says and the and their associations who've been noise in turkey is about the subject matter of what they perceive when we talk about tangible seeing harihu because that hashem is be created being the goof in the pharisees into our others whether it be the bodies and souls of um earthly hosts meaning you know what we find on earth or whether they be this bodies and souls of the heavenly hosts the stars the moon etc yes for him they have two things they're comprised of two things what does that mean means the material means the form okay remember those words that the material and the form who because based on what the creature and creation is that's what type of material and form it has right an animal has one type of material and form and a human has another and so true for the vegetation is so true so two for the inanimate for the soil etc [Music] nevertheless what is the primary focus of the tangible type of it identifies mostly with the heimer with the material of the creature which is the body of the creature whereas the intellectual perception the mind's eye it looks towards the soul of the creature so very important point here two people can look at the same thing and one person sees in it soul and one person sees in it material body so go back to let's go back to the art the art example one person could look at the art and see a beautiful drawing a beautiful painting but that's all he sees in it he sees what's in front of him he does not see what's in behind the picture he doesn't see quote the soul of the picture he sees the body of the picture he sees the home error of the picture the material he sees the nice colors he needs the nice nice strokes he sees all of that so when you talk about a beautiful picasso on a beautiful brawn you could look at the beautiful brawn picasso and you could say nice artist great talent and that's it and then you could say this tells me much about my chebron la have picasso and rembrandt because what i'm looking at is not the physical i am looking at the physical but my mind's eye is what's driving me and my mind's eye looks to the soul of the picture and you should know you'll understand that this is such an important aspect be it an art but in life you could look at the same person and one person sees in that person a mess a problem and the other person sees in this person a diamond the famous story you all know what that ever and people came by for dollars and the rabbit said they asked for that but you don't get tired standing on your feet for six hours every sunday that ever said when he said to the person let me ask you a question when you count your money or you count your diamonds do you get do you get tired no on the country are you counting those dollar bills or looking into the bank what's the what's my husband you're not tired because you're looking at a diamond every either diamond both are looking at the same person and one sees the problem and one sees the positive and this is what we have to train ourselves that when we see whatever it is in life whatever homer we see focus on the nephesh don't focus on the goof and if you focus on the netflix your marriage is this way too and in relationships if you focus on the goof on the body oh the nose isn't straight the lips aren't big the head is too small and on the ground but if you look at the inside of the person they're a gem so how do you compare a diamond and a gem to the physical part which is ancillary to the nephesh to the soul so this is what we're learning here in the the see this you know you don't see the these examples that i'm telling you but this comes as a direct result of what the rapper says here there is the hoymer and there is the tsura there is [Music] the mind's eye which is with nephesh and there is which is is that clear or anyone have questions okay continue says now the cell um so now he goes back to this this this uh this saying that's from my flesh i will perceive godliness what type of sin are we talking about here that our perception of godliness of eloquent will be so paramount and so powerful that it will be it will permeate the physical eye the immediacy and even although all generally speaking both types of perception are equal nevertheless cool generally speaking it is difficult to have seeing of godliness right don't listen when's the last time you and i saw hashem it's been a long time right to have rio mukha in la cruz i mean who could say [Music] ah what a question but but but the for a person to say that he sees elokus you know in jerusalem we call that the jerusalem syndrome you know let's let's not kill ourselves let's not get on and i'm not talking about i'm talking about from the biggest rebbies and rabbis and rabonim really cuz you gotta be kidding so the rabbit says here it's like almost impossible to have that therefore the prophet i think it's ishayah hanov says sorry from my flesh i will see god but it doesn't say moshe the word i will see it says which is the aramaic implication is that this see perception of godliness is not bahira it's not clear virac it's only from my flesh i will perceive godliness in other words i have some image some vision some imagination some experience but it's not error error represents clarity exit is already a translation of error and the reason why this is what siddha says the reason why shayan navi doesn't use the hebrew error and uses exa is because for the average person you don't see hashem the most you get is that's the point so is the implication of that meaning like blessing uh uh like like uh it's kind of in between these two or a combination of these two uh faculties of vision i'm not sure if you mean there's a famous uh there's a famous hazal it says that only moshe was able to is it say moshe had the navoor with zed this is it whereas the naveem said omar explains what's the difference because the clarity that moisha had as a navi was a hundred percent z as that's right whereas whereas the naveem they had only the koi experience is that what you meant hillel i'm not sure well actually so um well i think he's actually answering this in uh in a way that generates another question he says what it says in my flesh i will have a vision of god which is a tangible or perceptible vision right yes that's a sentence so what i was asking was what uh is uh is the word which is like the zohar which comes which always says papasy um and or like the word a zone uh it does it would imply some kind of unification of these two faculties of vision that we've been talking about but he does see he says no he's saying it's uh right yes right right why why why do you think it implies both together well because because cause you were you were emphasizing that why why the navi had chosen the word as opposed to ria right so and the answer is because it's only it's only secondary it's only hazel and not riha because it the real muhashi's here is it's not the rheumatoid of on the highest level it's it's the real crushes of the of a level that's lower that that's not that's clear it's like the cold it's the it's the real muharrasis of koi versus the real makashi's forza okay moshe okay moshe you lost hello bye chebron are you are you following or tell me you seem like lost yeah yeah yeah i'm i'm i'm um i'm thinking very much about interestingly enough about what you're discussing about art as it relates target this just so happens in the last two days i'm working on developing a tool for myself to walk myself through the process of taking the initial burst of inspiration and trying to understand very clear what is it that inspires me about a particular idea trying to develop that to delineate sort of a process so interestingly enough yesterday after it just so happened exactly what we were discussing yesterday this year this my mark is what i'm dealing with right now and so i was able to print up type up like a whole almost like a i've got tools for myself like a questionnaire so about this process that's wonderful that's wonderful that's that's taking what we're learning and putting it into the real world that's that's awesome maybe maybe what i'll do is after this year i'll take it i'll send it to the group yeah whenever you're ready whenever you whenever you have it whether it's a week whatever you know whenever you have it all compiled and organized and and it's clear you know okay let's continue so now he says we're four lines from the bottom of the paragraph [Music] he says this is a rhetorical point question and although it is only the lamest it's not actual seeing nevertheless it's still this is what i've told you before hillel it's still some form of seeing godliness in other words you can't discount you can't discount the the observation of godliness even when it comes from a physical goof perspective now this is very important as well in other words if seemingly this is seemingly if you compare seeing hashem to to to anything less it seems that ruin mahasas is the star the greatest the best and everything else is small change says that ever it is small change it compared to seeing god moshe myers however let's start with the small change let us start by observing you see don't go for broke don't some will say it's hello i'm working every day i'm thinking about my character i'm making a husband on that fish then comes rosh hashanah then comes yum kipper then comes sukkah stereo and then comes heshvan and looks back and he's unpacking the bags right that famous song tickle bacon when they returned from seeing their rabbit during the month of tishrei and what was the what's the meaning of the song so what did you bring back what are your back what's your luggage full of food toys what'd you bring back and satan said we brought back this moment that the rabbis said rosh hashanah the chauffeur was many times the beginning of the mahasidras that the rebels said on rosh hashanah so they would say tikkun they sang out what the rebel was implying this is what we heard this is what we went for here guys you guys in the little shtetl you didn't get to go we're sharing with you the mimer right that's a great beginning because you might say i make an account and i worked hard and i'm still stuck in the same place and we know what that means we all know what that means so comes along citizen says there is [Music] which would be like i got out of my uh my boundaries i i jumped out of the the sand and the schmutz and i'm a new person totally and then there is i'm not a new person but i'm on my way what's most relevant is the process and the progress the process and the progress not the final result of whether i will be a tsadik or a bananee the whole idea of tanya hila when you learn tanya and all of you we all heard tanya it's not to search and seek i want to have a title on me called bainani [Music] that's absurd and ridiculous just do what you need to do immerse yourself in learning and governing and giving to duck and helping another jew and making someone smile and go out and do it don't think about what will be because believe me if you're doing the right thing many good things will be now later and in the future so thereby says here in the words of the of the mimer that it's an exa experience it is not a real experience but never so to say that you have real muhashi's in la cruz you don't but you can have an ex experience in godliness and that's very very healthy and very important and you said to the hilo that you're going to see the tone the rebbe so from from now till when you get there this is your opportunity for the as the experience to prepare yourself you're going to what sadik this isn't just you're going to a relative you can go to a relative any other time you're going to someone who you believe is a holy person a sadiq who's communicating the word of hashem etc so and this is when we go to the oil or when we write towards sadik it's the same thing or if you're in your house moshe and you look at a picture of a sadiq and you have a issue that's troubling you and you close your eyes or you open your eyes and you look and you and you think that's the the the the therapy the meditation the therapeutic meditation that we're talking about the exact experience let's just finish this paragraph the yes don't mean [Music] which come to a person in a tangible way and look what they are maisha look what they are uh divine providence you see god in actuality in other words any issue that's that's be speaks divine providence that is contact with god you're seeing god someone says you want to see god yeah the answer is find divine providence in your life the fact that you walking down the street and the the tree branch fell down and it didn't hit you on your head the fact that you you gave to dhaka today and because of your tadaka a person was able to do a b and c so and and what what what's what why is he saying this because hashgraph does not require one to be a man a person who can see god even if you don't see god you're not such a holy person you're a regular fellow but whatever your experiences are if you clearly identify the experience with hashgothis and that's very powerful so these few words this last line these five words puts the entire last section into perspective in a practical way what is the what is the exe and ella goose granted i don't have ria belluccus i have ex-bellicose and there's no one alive that cannot and should not experience divine providence it's a matter of paying attention it's a matter of paying attention so if you're rushing you're rushing you rush like you know sometimes we're in the car and my wife and daughter say and you know there's traffic and you get nervous and it's late so they they say two words has it's the it's divine for you to be stuck in a traffic jam what's what starts going this i don't know but it is a goja practice so now you can either embrace it and and see and work on finding how it is indeed or you could just say yeah yeah that's that those are nice words you know you know you know we we have to say it to to sound good or you can actually undersea and work and understand that maybe by the the traffic the leg there was an accident up front in front on and you didn't get into the accident i don't know everyone has you know i mean we all hear stories day in and day out practice begins with us personally and it's a heart avoider is not eating you know uh bread with butter or margarine it's not it's not it's an avoider it's an avoider to see in everything and and a in this month of ello and we prepare ourselves we make a festive i think this is a very practical thing to to to to find more aspects in our life that are have a good day everyone we'll see everyone tomorrow take care hillel bring us bring regards to the toner from our sheer please tell them that we have a sheer sunday through my thursday we learned see this chabad from the previous but we're learning if you don't mind if you tell him and that we ask for abraha that we should continue learning with a geshmach and an understanding and and that we should be aspired to to use it in our life okay thank you zeitgeist have a good day save one tomorrow bye
