Do you really exist? What's the content of your existence? True reality - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

so we're learning and the question is what does the AL add in this chapter to the previous two chapters if it's a third chapter it's not just rep a repetition there must be something new a novelty a k and this is what we'll see in a moment so let's let's go right to the text where [Music] on um The Fifth Line the second word so we understand so far that hashem's Energy's as he said yesterday the power of the maker is within what was made theal is constant and it's in a way of yes not I discussed that explained that yesterday so don't want to repeat it now anyway and that we we know already from chapter one and two now Dr as the follow let's let's let's learn inside back this ishe mute yourself please the AL asks a rhetorical question if if you're telling me if you're telling me that that hashem's is is in the how does the Nal existem is infinite so how is it that we we that gmas emerges and we see the G we see the material that's his question look look at the language and and the and and the fact that every cre creature and every action every result appears to be an existence and something tangible that's where the rhetorical question ends here's the AL rort that's only because it's because we do not comprehend that we don't see with our physical flesh eyes the power of the spirit of his mou within the creature the these are very very famous words if we were if we were given permission for our eyeos to see to comprehend the Vitality the energy and the spirituality with an every creature that is given to him that's for the word is given to him coming out of the word of God the spirit of his mouth if that were the case the physicality of the creature of the creation and its corporality its material and its tangibility would not near Cloud would not be seen at all to our eyes for it would have been it would be a in its total existence in actuality in comparison to this the energy and the spirituality that's within it since without the spirituality am it would be not as we just like it was not prior to the six days of creation M it's only because of the spirituality the spiritual energy of it's given to it from the mouth of God and the spirit of the mouth it alone gets it to leave Tom e for IR am from nothingness Le to be something and it it creates it it creates it what did Al say here on Nill and this is the novelty of this chapter not only as we learned in chapter 1 and two that hashem's energy every moment now creates the physical and material not like the the and the mean the Heretics said that he did it once and he left and all that and even the way he did it was in a way of yes says now but even when it does exist it doesn't exist and that's a you understand you could say its existence wouldn't be unless God's force is within it but but okay fine I accept that now once God's force is within it and it exists is there existence to it you would say yes says the AL in chapter 3 right here no there's no existence to it even when it exists why because what makes it exist God's Force stri the force from what from the existence now the existence wouldn't be so it's not only that it doesn't exist before God animates it but while God animates it it exists even when God animates it it doesn't exist because the because the truth is what is it God's amination so it's all God it's all the kak remember the mush I gave you with the rock as soon as the rock you throw the rock upward the rock is flying as soon as your the power of your hand seizes from The Rock The Rock Falls back down therefore did the rock ever have any real existence of flying no it never became a flying rock it was a rock that flew because of the power of the hand that threw it upward but then in itself even while flying Basha then in itself attain the that it's a flying Rock in its very essence never and so too is with creation the world we see it now granted it comes because of hashem's Animation hashem's energy but Hashem so Hashem is always here I'll give you that but once you give me that I'll argue if Hashem is here he's here giving the world an existence the answer is even while God gives in existence the world is no existence the energy exists not the world that's what he just said in these lines AB is that clear AB is it clear what I said I don't hear you yes very clear okay no questions you hear me I hear you now any questions I understand per good let's continue stops animating us right now we disappear right so so in other words even while is emanating us we the world are not a real existence our entire existence consists because of God emanates us so in chapter 1 and two of shood Dr explained not like the Heretics that the world's exist existence is only because of God and the manner in which God did it is yes in ex Neo something from nothing not something something for something that was chapters one and two what he adds in chapter three is that even when the world exists because of God's power and energy it doesn't really exist because on its own it doesn't exist so it's all about the energy the the the the let's continue f is Bel and therefore in truth you see the word says and in it's very true that the existence of gash is only about God it doesn't have any dependence now gives a oh want to say when he said earlier if God would give us permission to see the energy and force we would see that that's the reality so there's a famous teaching of the fourth laab Reb the Reb marash the Reb who said that through working hard and serving AEM a one can Merit to see the energy of God animating the gmas says if Hashem would grant us permission for our eyes to see the energy da da da da da says the reab marash that's without working on yourself and refining yourself but if you refine yourself and work very hard you could be granted the ability to see the energy in the gmas as it is on Earth just wanted to share that that saying from the re marash let's go back he says now mus is that now it's giving us a mush Al is giving a mush to support his point so let's learn let's read the whole mush and then and discuss it mus the mush the parable for this who is the light of the Sun that illuminates the Earth and all inhabitants of the earth what and animates the Earth it's a ray and light that extends itself from the body of the [Music] son and everyone can see the ray of the [Music] Sun that illuminates the Earth and illuminates the space of the world this is a simple fact that this light and this Ray yes it exists it exists as well in the actual body in the fire ball in the actual sun in the material of the sun there exists the ray within the sun the sun in the heaven in the sky and what's the Al's logic and proof that it exists over there he says for if it has the ability to extend itself and spread itself to distant places K so so so far K needless to say that it definitely has the ability to to illuminate while it's in its source in the sunbow RO however over there in the sun bow its actual place this Ray is considered nothing why for it is uned in in completely in it of its existence in comparison to the fireball which is the source from where the ray comes the source of the light and the of this that this this Ray and this light it is only anation that illuminates from the very source of it which is the actual Fireball Ro where do we feel it where do we see the amination only in the space of the world under the heaven and above the Earth we do not have the actual firebol of source but m in actuality therefore it's only on Earth that needed that we see we see here the light and the and the ray this one for it that we see it as an actual existence everyone sees it ofan and is here on Earth that we give it its name Khan shame we give it its name yes existence that it from its perspective on Earth is a real existence top of page conversely when it's in the source in this in the body of the of the Sun in the sun ball shame yes CL over there the name yes existence for the for the ray of the sun is not given that name a ray is only given the name Ray and and it does what it does once outside of the sun ball of the source within itself although it exists it doesn't have that name because its existence is a is aown I am in the sunb in the source it is nothing because for in truth the way the the ray is in the source it is actually nothing because over there it doesn't illuminate what is felt and heard the sun ball it Source the sun which is the sun ball Bel which is the only illumination and nothing else besides it so the AL uses this mush but I I so Masha this muscle is it clear in other words there's two aspects there's the way this the ray of the sun exists within the Sun and there's the way the ray of the Sun comes out of the sun when is it called the Ray of the Sun and when does it illuminate and when does it have a purpose and a meaning and all of that when it comes out when it leaves the sunball but guess what if it's able to illuminate when it comes out to the world that means it surely exists in its source cuz it comes from there you can't say that its existence begins outside of the sunball it's it's it's its existence in in so far as it doing something inating is outside but within itself within the sunball it its existence is even stronger but its existence is aold I heard a a muscle shares a muscle like this two people a person comes he says ruin says Yakov you owe me money and he and and and he goes to a bezden and the bezon rules that he owes him money right now both say the same thing ruin who says that Yakov owes a money how is his argument different than the rabbi who makes the ruling that indeed he owes him money seemingly both are saying the same thing and the answer is it's so far this opinion and this opinion like night and day and what's the idea when Ru says that yov you owe me money he's focusing on guess what the money he's not focusing on the he says I gave you money and you owe me so and so so to him that's the primary thing the fact that supports him thank you very much that's a nice bone that's a nice gift but where he's coming from is you owe me money where's the RV coming from where's the rabbi coming from the one who makes theic decision not that Ru that Yakov owes Ru money Torah says this is the situation in other words it's not about you do you don't a little more a little less it's not about that's not the focus the focus is T right in other words ruin doesn't know what the T says he doesn't know the what says in but the laws of monetary laws he doesn't know those things he doesn't care about things he just knows I gave you money you owe me money the r the bezin they don't care about I gave you money I didn't give you money they care about one thing what does tus say what does Torah say now if you compare these two they are so distant from each other but at the same time when which which opinion is more valid and more stronger the the argument of Ruin as just as one person to another you owe me money or the bezan or the ruling of the B the answer is the ruling of bzden you know why because the ruling of bezin is truth has nothing to do with ruu and jakov and as do what does tus say but the way it is within the rabbi if it never emerges to the point of Ruben giving Yakov money and claiming his money you would never have the money returned because the the whole idea of the monetary laws as they are in Torah a part of t as part of T the result is irrelevant I should say I don't know if you use the word irrelevant the RO the the result is sub is submerged in the Hal ruling so the halic ruling is what's primary So within the ruling it gives so much more reality I use the word reality to ruing give to yakob giving back the money to to ruing because so tah says but from y from Ruben and Yo's perspective if if it were to remain in the world of Torah Ru wouldn't get back his money and the that's the muscle that's the the parable the moral is until the energy of emerges with hashem's permission in the world the energy even though it's stronger doesn't have a palpable and real existence because of the of the of the son of the sun ball which is the source he keeps on saying the word mocker it's the source so what's felt within the sun ball only the Sun B but not that it's not that the ray doesn't exist the ray exists but what's the content of the ray an extension of the sunbow once it comes out to the world the ray is no longer an extension of the sunbow the ray itself has an independent existence in comparison to the ray the way the ray was in the sun bold that's what he just said now that's what the AL do saying and when you think about it that needs deep thought and a lot of contemplation when we talk about us and this is what I'm going to say soon when we talk about us creatures emerging and existing through the energy of Hashem where is the energy of it's all about the energy the K the energy so the energy of Hashem if Hashem is here every moment that our existence as it is even here is submerged into the ener into God so what's the real existence our existence God just like the sun the ray of the sun what's its real exist its real existence is not the way it comes out of the sun ball the its real existence is the way it is within the sun bow within the source now let's continue inside you'll see now how he he he explains it in the moral we're on the fourth line the last three words on page 156 and exactly identical to this Parable in its [Music] imagery are all creatures if you compare them to shef the key to The Godly influence from the spirit of his mouth that influences them and creates them and this energy is M it's their Source just like the the the the the sunball is the source of the ray of the Sun and they themselves are only a comp compared to the light and the and the ray that's that extends itself from the influence from the energy and the spirit of God which influences and is invested within creatures and creation and constantly makes them exist May from nothing to something so this is uh this is the novelty of chapter 3 in and a very important point so what if we walk away with masas and ab what do we walk away with from this chapter from this so far that true existence is not this not goshas true existence is R is spirituality and the fact that you can't see spirituality that makes it more existent not less existent and this of this is a fascinating way of thinking CU we think like this what's the Western way of thinking what's more real the more tangible it is I could touch it I can smell it I can feel it I can right the five senses the five senses makes something more real what Al is saying here no the five senses are more real only because you're dealing with something that's not real so because you need it's not real so you need some way of making it real and materializing it so we use the five senses says the AL but you know what's really real what's really real is the the Transcendence of the five senses that that's what it really is real why because when it goes beyond the five senses then it's all about the source it's all about the God that's real so it's not that so it's not that the table doesn't exist hey the table is right here of Masha the table's real and when you need to go for a for an appointment to a doctor to be healthier it's real but what's the contents content of that reality Hashem and therefore if that's what you live with the doctors can say whatever they want and the world can say whatever they want and guess what it doesn't have to be that way because that's just a worldly opinion an informed worldly opinion a Torah sanctioned worldly opinion but a is the ultimate and Hashem is here and when you live with this hope and am this faith and and trust in God which is something we need to always live with and work on it becomes who you are and and and if if Hashem for some reason makes it in a way that you would like it otherwise so again there you versus God God who is who is real you or God God so if a God says this person for now he needs to have this issue that's the reality we don't know that so we pray and we learn and we give and we do and we do so that the reality of God be one that also satis that also satisfies us but if it doesn't satisfy us who cares who cares and this is this is a lot of work this is not this doesn't come from from you know from sitting on your on on on your on your on your backside and and you know and dipping your feet into the uh the ocean and and um and having a good time this a lot of work mental work emotional work till you come to a point that you realize whatever it is whatever even October 7th and even a holocaust Hashem wanted it that's the way it is that's reality should we pray for such a thing absolutely not should we do whatever we can to to change the situation absolutely but at the end of the day what's the real msas what's the real existence God not only God as God is before creation but during and wild creation which is every moment that's the only reality not only is it a real is it is it a reality it's the only reality okay we'll continue tomorrow have a great day and everything byebye thank you
