Doing a Mitzva one time as Important as Learning Shas?

we're on page 401 but i'll just give a recap of what we learned uh before we begin the new paragraph we actually learned a very very fundamental teaching not just in hasidis but in jewish philosophy of all sorts in other words yesterday's uh i teaching which i'll repeat in a moment is fundamental not just hasidim not just the but jewish thought in other words the the maharao the shallow rabbin the rambam and the names go on and on prehasidas all in various ways with different words express the same idea oh what is the idea the idea is that to argue that spirituality that luchnias has more importance to hashem to god almighty than gosmius is means heresy and what is the argument in order to call something heresy for the ghazal to call it heresy for our great teachers you have to understand where they're coming from because otherwise it's just uh you know very flippant and using language without really backing to it so the argument was like this that the tata it says in the holy tata me meg what's the exact language um megad again the tour that the the the uh produce comes wheat comes from the chemist and the cucumbers are tastier and better because of the moon that's a pasta in the tata that's not i see this kabbalah murray titan what does it mean that somehow the abrasive put within the sun and the moon the ability to give a better taste and make a better vegetation for the various different foods that come from the ground now if we understand that and we accept that the argument would be that hakodash barakul gave power kayak to the sun and the moon and if he gave power to the sun and the moon the sun and the moon are also players there are also creature creations that have god-like abilities and that's why the non-jewish idol worshipers believed and prayed to the sun and the moon and the stars in the constellations because they said that true there is god almighty who is the creator of all creations or in the language that we use here eloqua the god of all gods but nevertheless he's a god of all gods meaning that the son of the moon are also gods so it's appropriate to thank them and to bow to them and to worship them because although the kayak hat the power of vegetation is is put into the ground by god almighty by hashem nevertheless once it's inserted there it's up to these the the vegetation and the sun the moon that impacts the vegetation to give forth various kinds of vegetation so we have two things we have to separate one thing is the kayakatsumiha or the koakatsumayak that everyone acknowledges is mean from god but the style the formation the accessibility of the and the quality of of the vegetation that's up to the sun and the moon and the earth and everything else so being that that's the case we we give credence to the sun and the moon they're also important and this is the way that explains to us what we say in halal what do we say in halil that the non-jewish idol worshipers argued hashem hashem is exalted over all nations avoided where is hashem's real presence in heaven but when it comes to earthly matters hashem is not interested as much this distinction between gosh mia and rouhnias from what we're learning here seems to be an old outdated motion meyers to please turn off your mute your thing you see yeah so i'm walking here okay but but thank you what seems to be a a uh uh a primitive argument not relevant to us well guess what it's so relevant to us you know how it's relevant to us do we see goshnias as important to hashem as is important to him we ask ourselves you know learning and davening and giving to dhaka and doing mitzvos hashem is there hashem wants those things but sleeping taking care of our health and things are more that are more gas-miss oriented we think and seem to feel that it's not as spiritual and this is a one of the reasons why many movements of many spiritual movements argued in order to be spiritual you need to separate yourself from the world of the physicality and materialism so the the you had the buddhist monk and you had the celibate priest both in their in their own ways preaching a certain asceticism comes along the titan says and i've said this to you i've said this to you many times that the toyota says that the the the more you're involved in gas mias not in the roof and not in homerus remember this difference we've learned it over and over not the corpora reality but the gosmius the more holy you are and that's why students of a sage hide themselves in his bedroom to see how he performs the mitzvah of intimacy what a voyeur you know today they would arrest him together with that georgetown orthodox rabbi right the beeping rabbi i mean what hutzpah the answer to the mother says is that they wanted to see how you could take a mitzvah like that that so gashmias and make of it or perform it naruto and without seeing it they couldn't believe it right they couldn't believe it can you believe that your teacher your rebbe your rabbi your the person who you respect is is able to holify such a that they act it's very difficult so they said we're gonna check it out it reminds me in williamsburg the sophmore yeshiva was on bedford avenue i think 505 bedford or somewhere like that in the corner of bedford and and the tour of adas yeshiva before it moved to kensington it's a section in brooklyn was across the street now the boys interviews were not you know not hasidic or not as hasidic or they came maybe hasidic backgrounds but the sacrament yeshiva was supper a very hasidic group so they heard that the satmar rabbit pretty much doesn't sleep all night he's up till three four five in the morning then he lays down for a few hours and and by the way i interviewed one of his attendants who told me himself that he saw it with his own eyes every night while he was attending to the satmarov so he told me that it's a hundred percent accurate and true he did sleep every person has to sleep but he went to sleep very late he got slept a few hours and he got up but the boys at tara vidas thought that this is what we call khasidyshev bubba mices baloney stories you know fables so they decided for an entire week that go their window from the sec third fourth floor was able to see into the window of the soccer rebbe's um house room and they decided they're going to have shifts of bahrain up all night and they will keep on looking to see if the rebbe lays down to sleep at 11 12 o'clock and if he does they'll publicize it and say it's all baloney you're all fakes and all that and they did it i heard this from a student who was there who was involved with this activity this is i believe in the 1950s or 60s anyway they did it and indeed all week six days sunday through thursday five days five nights they saw that he was not in his bed all night until four five in the morning they saw it they saw their own eyes so seeing is believing right so the sages say that the um the talmudim of this and this of this rabbi of the sage wanted to see with the his their own eyes how their rebbe performs the mitzvah so what do we see we see that in our religion gosmius substantiates we see another thing that gosmius is no less of a connection to hashem than ruchnius and in fact it's more of a connection if you are only and you cannot demonstrate your use in in your gas mias something is lacking in your knees right they tell the story of the fourth laboratory he said a mimer once was the devra moscow the beginning of the mimer and he spoke about various levels of bitter subservience to hashem and the greatest level is milvada there's nothing besides god everything is hashem so came to him and he said rabbit if ain't it it's all anointed so the rabbit said lay down on the table lay down on the on the bed and he says he's about to give him a whipping and he says is it is it is it a night novaday is it a nightmare day or is it veracious burrell or kim of course it's a nightmare but through in the beginning god created the world the world is a reality and if you cannot live with anoint mulvade in the world then your whole aenoid bovada is a big fantasy a big above myself it's imaginary thinking it's wishful thinking so when we learn here in the minor this very important idea and we here he takes us back to the early philosophers who argued that where's hashem's presence in the heavens but the earth he lives to the dra the drags the the low lives yeah he doesn't care about that or not all and he leaves it up to the the sun and the moon you guys decide whether the cucumber should be sweet or sour i'm giving you the ba i'm the battery the energy but the the application of the energy is up to you so if that's the argument you'll need then we understand that we have to give their hearts to the sun and the moon and the next step is we can worship and should worship the sun and the moon because they're so powerful you know it's similar think of it this way here a little you need a favor you need you need something right so you go to the deputy and the ministers or the congressmen of this the statesmen the right and you lobby them and you lobby and you lobby and you buy them off or in order to scroll a friend who used to walk well i don't know the hebrew word for the lobbies of them yerushalayim and he would go in and he would sit and schmooze and joke with them and throw them candies and cigars and keep on laughing and shooting the breeze wasting time and at the end he gives them a nice portfolio and a new building goes up in bernay brock lobbyis it's a fact of life in arizona or in america all over it's all the same okay some places maybe a little more the less but right now if you believe that they are the the boss the icar you're a fool they have um ability to to uh put things on top of the pile instead of bottom of the pile but at the end of the day at the end of the day there is someone they work for so again in the world that we live in the the lobbyists and these people are are very powerful and just as the people by uh you know um bribe them they bribe their superiors okay so the example is not exactly the same as baccalaureate with the with the sun and the moon the sun and the moon how they bribing hashem oh they're bribing him because hey hashem if you are if you don't give it to me the rug the way i want it i'm not going to shine today nonsense can the sun decide not to shine today that's nonsense the sun has no sail shining today at all if the abrasive wants the sun to shine today it's going to shine and this is why i'm elaborating on this because it's an important indian in ammuna and this is something you should dial up with your family really when they're young so that they and then they'll learn about it then they'll think about it and they'll decide and that is that that the kayaks the power of birth if someone is childless do you do we believe that is the one who decides and yes you have this organization and this organization we have some wonderful organizations here i'm sure you haven't there just roll right but at the end of the day all the money in the world cannot buy a child yes it can help you get to better doctors and and have better tests and and and do things that hopefully will result in an offspring but at the end it's the kayak you know the rebel and the rabbitson didn't have were childless so once one of the khasi de manapuram took you know some mask took some wine and he cried his heart out to the redhead and you know and he asked for a bracha and this is what i heard i heard this always growing up and the rabbit turned to him and the rabbit said and what should i do i also don't have children who helped so many people in so many ways including having children and you guys have heard many stories i don't have to tell you again the stories and nevertheless he himself can't help himself you know why because the kayak alley that comes from and if i call this barco decides that for some reason these two individuals husband and wife should not have a child as we're saying yiddish cancer clapping cup and you can bang your head on the wall from today till tomorrow as we're saying nothing will help you you have to do status but there's kayak come to one one second i just want to finish i'll take your question while you comment comes along siddhis in this miner and says that the shame elohim and the shame youth cave of king and shay melo kim concealed shame you'd keep off king so the the what what seems to be the operational mode is shame of kim and it is that way but nevertheless you must always remember that the shame you'd keep off gay energizes shame elokim and without the utke wafkee which is you know without the drive the energy the battery the shame elokim would get nowhere so the sun and the moon would get nowhere without the the the the the the the shame hashem and therefore and therefore rebecca explains to us in a minor that has and we say this but hashem who's exalted sits dwells rests in the heaven and the earth not just in the earth but in heaven too because you heaven are also a downgrade from god's perspective you're no closer to god than the earth and that's why to put phil now with a jew who's lost is as valuable as someone learning shas and if anyone tells you otherwise i'm sorry to say but i will say it he's a kaifer he's a graphic he denies in the existence of god because we don't look at it this way but you're basically saying that the jew that learns shas has one up on the jew who's lost sorry outwardly yeah this terror admits to this reward and punishment but the truth is in the summer so there's no there's no difference as far as the essence of the person so putting on twilight was a yid one time or or having him do another mitzvah one time is as important as learning shots should you learn shots absolutely of course but don't minimize and undervalue what there is to putting on film or putting the mezuzah or saying krishna one time you know the khalifa river of yerushalayim he made a deal with hashem he said hashem if you get me out of the hellhole auschwitz i will go around the world and pronounce your oneness by saying shema israel with people and hashem helped him and he was saved from that camp and others and when he came to he traveled all over the kibbutzim and by the way he came first to new york i think he was in cleveland not i think he was in cleveland first and then he came there to throw and he made his business this khasi destroyer i was once in his basement madrid bernay brock you know the nazis gave him that poison though that those were vaccines whatever and he was hairless you know with a big strimer you know this white calf cuffed and it was so interesting to see and he went around teaching and saying to everyone shema what the guy is still doing since the guy is still not doing mistress you know so what's the big deal that's that's the biggest deal ah he's not putting on filling yet no hopefully the shema slow will be inspiring and if not it doesn't detract from the one-time shamaya's role and this all comes as a result of what we're learning now that gosmius is on the same level and even more so he doesn't go into the morsel here in this mind or else where he does but let's say from this mind on the same level as rookness and that's why hamak bila shavas we praise hashem that you lower yourself you sit you who was makbi los chavez pass yoni it's your turn first of all a beautiful story i never heard that story by the column but it's a beautiful story very inspire it is inspiring um so two two kudas first of all i first is um where would muzzle the whole term muzzle good muzzle a bad muzzle where does that factor into uh between you know the the the sun the moon hashem like where is that that's my first question where is muzzle like where does that fit in second question is um when it comes to uh when it comes we were talking about how there's different energies and different powers that hashem gives like he gives the sun the heat or the moon he gives even energies where does the kayak of the angels like we were talking remember about the angels a few months ago about the coyotes and that they have only one mission right like human being doesn't have one which they have but is that also in that realm or that's a totally different thing good very good question very good questions both questions so first of all we say the mazzolos the constellation and the stars mazel where is the word mazel where do we find the word muzzle in the torah the noiselim live on from lebanon comes along the commentaries and it says the noise lim no zell is a hebrew word right avi no zell where is it dripping from well it means like the trees and the noise limb it's dripping down drip meat goes this way it's here and it drips down imagine if you have a leak in your house boy are you running around right where's the leak coming from somewhere on top where's the stop where is this where in china where is it in india where is this noise look kabbalah explains that islam comes from a part of the neshama that's yours but it's kind of in heaven it's your it's your thread it's your uh safe deposit box although today the banks are getting rid of of save the box deposit boxes i had a box here bank of america and two years ago they said time to give it up we're eliminating safe deposit boxes no one uses them anymore but there is a place where our neshama begins in the treasure chest that's called the eights and the shamas the treasure chest of souls and from there it drips into our noshoma as it is here in our body so when moishe myers has a simcha and moishe bronze says to him is wonderful he uses the word masal tov good muzzle so of course we translated good luck good charm good fortune no no mazel tov means maisha myers i am wishing you that the the place where your neshama is stored should rain down from there into your neshomer here vis-a-vis the simcha that you have in other words the one second the simha that you have is demonstrative of the muzzle of the neshama on high talking and relating and impacting your neshama below that's what nishama is all that's what mazel tov is all about right that's what mazato is all about so it's not just a flipping thing molotov is is a a very profound blessing and that's why we say on a birthday right on a birthday we say the muzzle of the person is operational meaning although we have a mazel throughout the year but on the yom ha lettuce on the birthday the mazel of the neshama is active and it is on that day that a person vis-a-vis their birthday and all the good deeds that they do in conjunction that they do in conjunction with their birthday they access more of the muzzle of the meshima so that is where it comes from now the rambam writes yoni and he quotes the verse ain't earth ain't least role model there's a verse which the rambam i believe quotes meaning you cannot limit a jew to luck and charm to muzzle because as much as we just discussed the significant idea of mazel nevertheless it's limitless it's limited sorry it's limited so someone will say like this and and we've heard this so many times i'm down on my luck i have bad muzzle is it true or not well of course it's true i mean it's true on one hand because i i've repeated certain behaviors or certain things many times and it all goes to the left to the left it doesn't work comes along the rambam and he makes a ruling and he teaches us a jew is beyond mazel yes there is the level of mazel but the truth is that the essence of the essence of the nusrama is beyond muzzle and can actually change your model in other words what we talk about the noise it drips from lebanon which by the way is white right white which is the color of purity it's dripping down from a pure place into your life nevertheless that's a that's still a definition and a box and a limitation says the rambam a yid must know that they're not limited by mazel as good as mazel is they're not limited to mazel so therefore if you ask is my muzzle bed not your real muscle because your real muscle is beyond muscle your real muscles beyond muscle so we have the essence we have muzzle of the soul and we have the soul as it's here that's the first answer to the first question regarding your second question i would say malachim are in the same arena as mazel but they're they're angels mazel is an aspect of nishama of soul malachim is not sold as you said the proof is that malachim are limited to one mission whereas assault can do simultaneously several missions right the difference between om dim and as we discussed in the memorial nevertheless malachim are also limited so this whole you know fantas not fantasy this whole craze about uh this is my pin of which malach is walking with me and that whole thing for a year it's it's it's not it's not where it's at and we do things which we say which we are taught that malachi and angels go with us and watch us and friday night we say shalom allah absolutely but again there it's an experience it's a manifestation it's not the essence so to answer your second question is another aspect of a manifestation of hashem but not the very essence of hashem clear you only clear yeah thank you excellent okay now let's turn to page 401 so we get a little learning in today where the second paragraph beginning with and all you didn't believe with simple faith in this that hashem that utk wafkee is what energizes elokim however it is only periph in a peripheral way in a mock way and this doesn't enter our innermost as our sages of blessed memories say quote israel you guys are going to love this one this is good this is one for aliyah right israel it's eaten and outside of verity stroll or if they avoid the soda they worsh they are their worship idols but the hara in a pure way hane with a dollar bill with the chunk and the cuckoo and the kishkin the cars and the houses uh-huh you're living in narcissus roll i don't care it's it's tough the gemara says it's tough so the komodo taka says you better know you guys you're living off the fat of the land you have three houses one in florida one of the cats goes one one in in in brooklyn or manhattan [Music] you're serving idols in a kosher way remember that but still this is a very ignomatic statement what did mean well the ghazal was so was so uh was so sarcastic like i am i don't think so no okay so the god explains open ashashi so comes along what does it mean to serve god in a kosher pure way claim out this means to say without intent they ain't summoned alive and they don't pay attention in other words no one says i'm worshiping an idol no just you know i had some extra money so i bought a second or third home i'm not really i'm not really stuck to my home you know i i really don't care i can live in a little hubble you know that's what russia says wait a minute where are most jews inherited as you would all say never lie there woe on you that you guys are still huts alerts because so if this is the case you still cannot say that we're worshiping idols the fact is the majority of jews most shall wear it lawrence so for the gemara to say you're going back two thousand years it was that way then too not just today so for the gemara to say that their oil is is is very is very questionable what does it mean not so sure that the majority of jews are in kutzler's today it's it's pretty close to 50 50. okay maybe a little bit okay but it but you understand the idea aloha the energy said so the rabbit now we're going to stop here but i'll just we'll continue tomorrow because this is very important the rep is going to analyze what eric's eritrea means and based on that this saying this teaching of the fazao will become clear okay so um this will continue tomorrow i took i took a long time to explain and recap because to get the flow and get us back into the whole mimer it was necessary to understand the greater idea that that we learned in this that we're learning in this mimer and again to show how properly learning of my mechasidis isn't just some esoteric teaching but rather it has practical implications and very very fundamental for our existence and our continuing as eaten with families and growth have a great day everyone will see everyone tomorrow bye bye thank you guys
