so we're learning the concern
and we are
on
page
41.
well on page 41
where
verba
said in the earlier paragraph in chapter
four
that
miss
from the reward of a mitzvah you know
the essence of the mitzvah that's a
that's a general rule
the the
the traditional
meaning of that is
that
you get a reward for something
and the reward
although separate
then the mitzvah
is somehow
reflective of the mitzvah
but
siddha says more so
based on what the alternative teaches in
tanya chapter 37 and elsewhere
mitzvah means
itself
is the reward
now we can't see what it accomplishes
what machia will come we'll see what it
accomplishes
so it's not in that it's not similar to
being paid for work that you do where
the work and the pay are two separate
worlds one has nothing to do with the
other over here there's a cyclist
there's an association between the two
and the actual
mitzvah is the pay
but the difference is that one bef while
you do the mitzvah because we're still
in golos
and we don't see and feel it but we know
it it's been accomplished and when the
shield comes we'll actually feel and see
if the the the accomplishment
so that rabbit says with that idea
we will understand
more about
siddhis because what what is
the the
what is the reward of
of
of this mashiach right
the tower of mashiach anemia satire
the inner dimension of titus what will
be
focusing on and emphasizing what
mashiach comes because until mashiach
we have the nicholas the tiger that's
our main
bread and butter
even the rebel shop who who set a course
of study or curriculum
he writes seven hours a day velvel
the students should learn niggler gemura
seven hours a day and i heard from
an older hustler
who told me
who he learned in lubavitch in 1913
or 14
he told me that they would learn seven
hours straight gemara and he would hold
himself back from going to the
facilities so you shouldn't make an
interruption seven hours straight he
told me that
in addition to that
two hours chassidis study before twila
two hours
casitas
before
going to sleep at night
that's a total of 11 hours learning out
of the day straight i mean you know two
daughtering
breakfast
seven and then seven hours learning with
a little break for eating something of
course
and then two hours right so the bulk of
the day is not hasidis because even if
you do two and two is four seven hours
is niggler
and why is that because until mashiach
comes the limu the main learning of a
person has to be
talmud
siddhis in particular
nevertheless
we know
that
and that answers a question that ever
asks a very strong question he might be
i think he actually brings it here in
the in in the countries
what did rashbee do for 13 years in the
maira
says that rashbee was there 13 years
uh if it takes a regular person seven
years to go through shas
don't you think dashb could have done it
in a year
or less
13 years
and the answer is
shash you could do in a year if you're a
rush b but to learn the premiums that
taylor oh this takes years and years
because not just learning okay i
finished the entire zayar we're talking
about
the the idea of um understanding anemias
it's not a scorecard
it's the seventh fifth in ink and then
seventh inning stretch and then the
knife evening you know bottom of the
line two outs three two pitch
it's not that way
is an all life experience of
experiencing god
not just knowing god experiencing
hashem and there's no end to that 13
years 20 years there's no end and when
she will come there'll be no end too
if you think
that when mashiach will come will be
able to say it a person you know that
person he already has god he can go and
play golf
and relax
and take a drink of scotch no
no way
because to experience
god
is continuous
as long as you breathe you need to
experience god
and that's a that's that's that's 24 7
in every moment of life
so that ebb is saying
that being that that is the the the the
um
what we'll be doing when mashiach comes
what leads to that
right we're talking about
so now
the study of siddhis
is a preamble
to what we will experience
when mashiach comes so let's look now on
top of hey
paragraphy 41.
so now we have to know what's the
primary aspect of mashiach
it says
is coined in one word
to be the
prototype
of nephesh the level of nephesh within
the soul yo the level of ruach moisture
the level of the shama adam
the level of
um
what is the batting in the brackets
every neshama
every neshama has these five levels
but the question is and we spoke about
this at length now last year so i won't
repeat it
only briefly
every shaman has five levels
but the question is what's the e-car
what's the emphasis that's why he says
in the brackets
shall call
there are the five levels the question
is what's the emphasis
they are specific levels
which transcends details
kishma
like the name like the word
implies
oneness
only one
right
i've told you
my good friend gill locks who hangs out
at the kaiser who lives in the old city
one day i was teaching tanya to a group
of balabatim every tuesday night that
came from the valley
in california and i was a boca los
angeles and yeshiva it was called tnt
tuesday night tanya
i had a very nice group of 2030
balabatim and i was this you know
young bucker of 2021 and this was this
is like the
the best coup that a bucket can have is
he's teaching people who are 40 45 years
old
you know how you feel when that happens
and all of a sudden this one guy sitting
there
who i didn't really know much about
i was teaching tanya chapter 2 episodes
it's actually a part of god
and when i said
one moment
and when i said and when i said it's a
part of god
he shouts out without raising his hand
without introductions
there are no parts
and i and everyone else what
like everything is going fine in this
room and we're really enjoying it
boom
there are no parts
is beyond parts
and the english language is poor in that
sense where khalid means a part but
that's not that's the english word
means an aspect of the neshama
that is beyond parts that's what he says
here looking look at the text
shalom
is sir it could have said
which is transcends details it says the
word gether you know the word gether
means
the entire institution of details
before you talk about details you have
to consent to the concept
that details are justified
that's called the institution of details
the notion of details
so that it says not only is the shambha
not this part and that part and this
part
but the entire idea of a composite
being the makeup of the neshama is
erroneous
yes
you're innocent i don't hear you
okay okay okay
sorry sorry
sleeper
okay but that's not what he says here
but that's fine that's true what you
said but it's not what he says here here
we're talking about
the
in other words
unison if you're implying that's the
proof that
that's not the proof
i i i would argue that that's not the
proof that's a result of yakida
i'm not saying
right
right okay okay okay i'm just yes what
you said is correct but you said it's
correct but not that it's the proof okay
let's continue
thank you for that
the email is
from this level of yakida
the essence of
what comes forth are the four
aspects of soul spirit soul and life
anza look what he says over here
it's not to be understood
that this yakida
is
a a muck or a source or cloud a
generality
to these details
he
[Applause]
from the word muslim which rejects
which which uh
rejects
any and whatsoever connection to details
where did negate the gate thank you
i was looking for that
i can always i can count on you you're
innocent i really mean it thank you
god miguel mocker
and the rabbit says more so
yeshida
negates
not only the details but like i said
before velvet the the the being a mocker
what is a mocking me unison
a mocker means like this
i am such a person that if you touch the
right buttons
you can get this and this out of me
why
because i'm of a certain style
so it could be
that for years you won't get it out of
me but if you know how to creep in the
right way
you get the information
there's a famous hill of a famous vert
they say one of the the rebels the
rabbit one of the rabbis said it about
one of the secretaries he said there are
three there are three types of bali sod
the three types of people that can hold
a secret
one is a person that can hold a secret
but when you press them strong enough
and hard enough they can't hold a secret
anymore
and they and they divulge
the other person is a person who called
a secret and when you
and and even if you press them a lot
they won't divulge but you know they
have a secret and the third type is that
you don't even know that they have a
secret
so i'm just thinking that
in i'm using that this is an example
a mocker a mocker for something means
i am not a composite of these items but
if you know enough about me as a source
that's what source means
the items it makes sense the issue and
items that come from me
but then there's something that's even
more removed
you're innocent more removed
that it's not a mocker whatsoever
so what is it
it is
it is the truth
if it's the truth
what will follow will follow there's an
expression in in the world of talmud
if you go on the right path you will
meet
and when they talk about learning your
mother mfashim and you say wow
i came up over with rabbit kiva agar's
question
with the consensus question
they say wow you are the key vehicle do
you ever mind the grab keeper egger they
say no no you say in yiddish
menzies
if you go on the right path
you meet
so let me ask you let me ask you
did i set myself up to go on the right
path because i want to meet no
i'm going on the right path because
that's what god wants of me
and whatever it will be you'll be so
whenever it's by share to meet we're
going to meet
this is a very it's going off on a
tangent for a moment is a very important
that could issue
that a person
should follow
you know what that the what what he
believes to be the right the right that
if the right way not be concerned
what will be from what will be the
results
because a it's a waste of time it's not
up to you it's up to god and b that's
not that shows that you're not a hundred
percent connected that means there's
something triggering you
something shouldn't be triggering you
you should trigger it what i mean you
should trigger it if this is right go
for
it if hashem wants you to meet you're
going to meet
and when you talk about i was thinking
about it this morning talk about
you know commitment commitment to hashem
to a spouse to a school to work whatever
it is
the genuine commitment is to do it
because it's the right thing you come to
a conclusion this is right
nothing to do with my wife nothing to do
with my kids nothing to do with my
rabbit nothing
you become so yokid
that this is right for you
that's not either
this is not an easy this isn't a cup of
tea a
cup of coffee this is a
vader to come to a place
where you know this is right
so so what's the sadiq the percentage of
the river and all that all that obey him
and all that and the daily limit that
abundant and everything else pointers
very important pointers
to help you get the mess out of your
life and see clearer the picture but at
the end of the day
i hope this was clear because this
explains
the practical importance
of yeshida
living yakida and what yehida is so that
ebby here says it so beautifully that
yeshida is isn't only a detail
it's not even a source for a detail
this is homework to say that the nephesh
our nephew
our nephesh is the source for everything
that follows
wrong
no
yeshida is the exam one
essence
and
if things need to will follow they'll
follow
and they do
why is it
that
they follow because if you don't put
obstacle courses in the way
nefer neshama
because that's the way god set it up in
other words if you're healthy
you'll be healthy in so many different
ways in your life
if your spiritual refined you it will
manifest itself in everything that you
do from your casual conversation
i'm i'm i'm i i did an interview with
between rabio khan and a professor of
jewish studies
years ago at emory i brought it was in
crown heights from professor friend don
cena seaman and i'm looking now to um to
publicize part of it for for gimel
thomas and robio's yard side so i'm
revisiting it i did in 2011.
and i'm looking at my my spears you know
just looking out back this is like so
many years later
and and and i see that
you know what
what i realized in him when i was 17 18
years old
and as i grew and as i got married and
had children had family when ashlichus
and and taught people and did for the
public and all that
i take a look at him and
i see the exact same man
at 85 years old 85 80 years old
in other words and my wife and i were
talking about this yesterday you know
have we changed you know married
brothers and 37 38 years have you
changed ask yourself you and you i have
have you changed
and i have to and i said
not much i don't know if that's good
you know but but but really
you know and if there are changes you
know a they're small ones and b
they're of degree but
really the essence of the person when
the person
becomes who they are
pretty much i i think that's the person
is the rest of their life
uh would you agree hello to that or or
not in other words you could only go
i mean i think uh that's a big big
question but but i was going to ask a
more prosaic question okay
you mentioned ravio khan and i saw safer
this morning yes i think it was called
the mahouse
or something like that
it had the word mahouse in it yes are
you familiar with the safer can you tell
us about it because i hadn't seen it
before
no
no no because this i've seen that this
is the
this is the
excellent elaboration
in in very good hebrew of the countries
we're learning in hebrew but it's not
this
uh no it was a it's a paper called it
has the word mahouse in it
i don't know bring it tomorrow write
down the name or take a picture or
whatever you know i don't know okay
let's go back let's go back to the text
okay you do i have finished we're on
page 41 in the in the large paragraph
second paragraph in the towards the end
in the parenthesis
now here he has an important
explanation
what's the difference between hashem
the basic difference is that
means there is a chess
and there is a dollar there are
seven heavens in the earth ie eight
there is the four corners of the world
which is east west south north which is
dalit and
the dalit
are nullified to the aleph to the aleph
of
ram right
so that means that the word
is an aspect of god that gives place
for there to be hassan dallad
the
notion of yaheed there is no hassan
dalit that all there is is
that's what he says here
so he in this parenthesis he's saying
that the similarity between
a source for the other four or the
yakida which is not a source not a
mocker rather they happen to come from
it because that's on the right
trajectory that's the difference between
so what's what is he says
it's a quintessential aspect of the soul
of the deshomma shaman
only that from it
is found
as the four levels of the shaman
and just that this is true
by every individual
is the essential the quintessential
aspect of the
cane
shall close next page topper 43 shall
close a stalsalas so is regarding the
energy of god in the in the world called
histamis
the level of
in the world which is in the it says the
level of mashiach
it's the essential
quintessential aspect of highest which
transcends
form
um
and that's from this nakuda mystifies
coal miners approaches
all
aspects
detailed aspects are mistake
they
um
they they they come they come from it
they they flow from it
in other words it's the soul spirit soul
and animation
for the essence of life
is all together without limitation bob
league
is only in terms of immortality
it's not subject to temporal change
he called some built-in
why because every essence is unchanging
that's what i said before
an essence if your living essence it
never changes and then brackets
will come that
rules they'll be based on the gomorrah
everlasting life no more death
akshov
since we only have a mere glimpse of
god's vitality yes
that that equates to having death
the concept of change is applicable the
odd
and to the point where could actually be
complete interp interruption and
cessation
conversely lost it when um
the essence of god's vitality will be in
the world how they call ask me built in
so he quotes a beautiful quote the
essence of the rights will pervade and
every essence is immutable
but it is also unlimited so not only is
the unlimitedness of the soul of the
highest of the vitality what mashiach
will come will be expressed in eternal
life but also the unlimited it'll be
unlimited in the quality character
meaning
it's absolutely completely perfect for
therefore
when the world will have the level of
manifest in the world
comes
the you bring us me and the world will
then be imbued with the essence of
the life force you behave on my level is
the world will be in an unmatched
perfectioning completion
okay
we will continue mr sham tomorrow
everyone have a good day so i guess
bye-bye that's a great point to
leave us with we'll we'll talk a little
more tomorrow sages
