Essence of Chasidus #6- Essence is the DNA of every part of Torah - Focus & Depth - RH in 770

we're middle of learning the contras on the essence of hasidis uh we are at page chapter base chapter 2. so until here that abbott told us four reasons why the qasidis came when it came why the balchemte was magalit revealed it and what its purpose is and uh i'm not going to repeat now the four reasons i i i you must know those reasons to understand the rest of the countries so overshoes you have two days you have a lot of time guys kevin so please review this and get it thoroughly in your cup because uh everything else in the in the countries depends on those four reasons let's continue now chapter two moving to portugal it is self-evident and it is understood that this is a central point singular and indivisible an indivisible core which is not a composite of various particles particular ideas and particles in other words there is a there is a way of looking up to this like this there is gemara talmud there is there is moser and there is zoar right and when you put them all together you make a nice uh chunk out of them you get a nice stew you get a nice taste what do you get see this so in other words some people think you know this is a nice vert a cutesy vert but a cutesy vert that has some oomph in it some pump from zest some soul is that this no that's not the cities some people think sid this is the equivalent of gemara with its intellectualism dialogue and analysis so they always say a good lawyer would make a good talmudist and a good time you just would make a good lawyer let's see this see this is a a place where a lit [ __ ] can feel very comfortable you know why because it's very intellectual and by the way don't think that that's just uh you know a uh a facetious joke but rather that is one of the reasons why habakkuk and lit fox the brisker and others got along very nicely for many years in in lithuanian russia the lit fox had much bigger issues with the carlina the stolen their the chernobler and everyone and most other groups with khabad again i'm saying about a certain period in the eighteen hundreds from that semanthetics time on they feel very comfortable and that's why did some ascetic when in 1843 when he when he was called to petersburg for the for this for the meeting that they wanted to put an edict on the jewish community with censoring for him and different things who went along with the tsar mahzadik who went along with them who was the son of arabic was the talmud music of the going of the film the coin it's amazing hand in hand walking down the aisle who have nakamento of the babbage the barbecue rabbit and the paradigm which [ __ ] the picture of vladimir that's right because there was commonality besides communal commonality other things this isn't the only reason i would be shorting you if i told you that's the only reason but one thing's for sure the style of khabar khasid speaks to a lit [ __ ] i'll give you i'll give you i'll give you an example that i told you earlier in the beginning but some of you weren't here this country's we're learning the rav ravi salafaitchik was made aware of it one friday by his son-in-law aaron lichtenstein of the has the yeshiva of course inherit israel the great genius and shiva and they learned together the countries they say all night for many hours and he was so impacted rabbi cellovachic that when he finished he said to his son-in-law as soon as shabbos is over call 770 and tell them there that rubbish that ourselves says that the rapper has to make more such contrast why because the analysis and the elaborate style and delving right deep into one kuda one point and one topic from a to z is so up the alley of brisk that's brisk brisk does that with rambam and gemara so here you see clearly he didn't say that about my muram although he was a very big fan of the altar but the abyssal of he was a hustler of the altareb if you had to call him joseph and he wants to balatanya i know from someone who told me back in the 60s i believe he went on his birthday he brought him a a birthday cake and and the raw said in brisk we don't celebrate birthdays but come in anyway so he put down and what did he see on the table besides a math and science book he saw a lakota tower of the balatanya on rebecca of egypt's table on amsterdam avenue in manhattan and yeshua university the morguester and dormitory yes where was that on amsterdam avenue i grew up around the corner oh you're kidding me uh i i don't remember i'll i'll get the address it's public you know the um you look up uh uh morgan stern dormitory on amsterdam avenue is the building of the the dormitory building you know and it must have been way uptown i grew up uh in morningside heights so yeah no no no no no nyu that must have been yeah yeah yeah yeah it's the wyo campus anyway so what i'm showing you is that the the the the the lit fox the real you know literature a style to learning gamora and then you know taking apart a gemara as they call it you know it goes in line with with khabak siddhis which you know takes apart uh a piece of zaya or or an iso so why why am i saying this he said why am i saying this because the ebba says here there ever says here that siddhis aina murcheves it is not a composite of different details in other words so you know a a strong lit [ __ ] can appreciate a piece of citizen and uh and someone who likes a good story and likes to touch the cords of of the soul and to feel emotional and to get involved can appreciate a good uh accident right no whatever says here this is the hiddens this is novelties see this is not look at the words murkeves in english it's not a composite of various particular ideas let's continue idea with him and since we mentioned just we mentioned four different explanations for the need of studying see this and when the citizens came about miloshin is saying each one has a different quality harem i gave you four reasons right pick your reasons so avraham's gonna say you know out of the four reasons what talks to me is the fourth reason the fourth reason is i want to study i want to understand kabbalah but i you know i don't i don't have the lofty soul i'm sure he does but you know and i don't have a lofty soul and i didn't refine myself much i'm a regular guy you know regular regular yeet you know fine but i know the sire are coverage the i want to have access to this i want to understand this this is a whole world of torah that i am obligated you know dr ebba writes in hookah's talmud torah my chef that every year has to learn every part of toyota if not you're coming back here again in a gilgal that's a it's a broad yeah it's not a joke here little looking hill cause tal matara now the rapper makes that as a ruling hello i'm familiar yeah yeah i'm familiar with it yeah this was i was thinking that i was glad you weren't talking about burro park though yeah right we wouldn't have any room for them so the point being the point is the point is that that um the everyone will choose their reason the einstein said you know what talks to me the third reason to change the middles tvm not only the the bad needles but each the nature of any type of meter even a good meter like janice gave us the wonderful example of giving out seducka he gives the dhaka we give sadaka but he brings coins to and gives to others to teach them right that's within good itself refining good that talks to your innocent right so each one of us will choose a different reason is that what see this is says that ever no wrong wrong sid this is an akuda a core and from the core everything else comes out what what that means we haven't learned yet but he's he's he's put he's setting up his essay that was a good writer he's setting it up let's see this is a core let's continue that's why he said that's why that's why um hello the word mahusa right on page 25 next to the last line the third word muhusa is in bold there is the mohus of siddhis in english the word is the essence i.e the name of this essay is called on the essence of siddhis i the the manifestation this i appreciate and i understand from when it's intellectual for when it's emotional one person is your likes like i told you at times when i get you know it's too quiet around here which is hard to imagine i run into the stall on their shoe and you get your high for the day you get your fix and they're carrying on and they're screaming and they're shaking and it's really grossing and if you ain't moved by that i don't know what's going to move you even a garbage truck won't hit hitting you won't it won't move you but that's not that's one second hillary that's not the core that is a manifestation that is a a development yes hillary that just said it struck me by looking at the bold lettering that uh mahuso like latanya talks about being and begins with that's right so to speak with yeah yeah very good let's continue what is it okay let's next line so now the question is what is the essence of siddhis here it is the essence of sydney atmos it is a quintessential point hamov which is completely abstracted and removed from any particular ideas next page however hello kudos means due to its quintessential point named the above mentioned four qualities exist and are derived in other words you know if someone's a mensch there i mentioned they're sleeping and i mentioned they're eating and i mentioned when they play golf and they're a mansion when they work they are a mensch that's who they are there is no time when they're bereft of being a mensch if they really are a mensch meaning i.e if their mohus is a mensch if they're not a mensch then they're never a mensch i'll say they were so nice on this day on that day this day guess what the cat and the mouse the cat trains itself to be a waiter the mouse comes along it drops the food because it gets scared in other words the the cat's not the cat's not a waiter the cat pretends to be a waiter and guess what you can pretend a very long time but it catches up to you it catches up to you so just as it's just that this is true in character right the rabbit says sid this is a the quintessential point of a connection to god when you have that everything else comes from it emotions intellect feeling good being with people this is why i have a it's coming through us that's why what do we need to in invest ourselves in the next 48 hour shabbos in inculcating china with ins premiums what was the previous rapist vartee sir caballo he wished everyone you should receive the toyota ube if simcha isn't hard enough to have constant joy in your life anemias inwardness innerness depth i like the word depth that's the vert here siddhis is an akuda of depth you see moisha and some people when you tell them to say well see this is for people well no shas i'm sure you've heard this argument right yeah listen i'm sure you've heard it too and i know they are and i know and i'll know moser then i'll worry about siddhis what's the counter argument to that the argument is if you want to have a chance at knowing shots and everything else you need to be motivated and gravitate towards it and that comes from deep within and the fact that you were raised a certain way or for a while you got excited then comes along the world world that you live in and the temptations and the indulgences and the hardships and the challenges and the money and the wife and the kids and the rabbi and all of a sudden you don't have the same feeling and you become dry and stale but if it's your lifeline and without siddhis you feel as though you can't breathe okay you jump because this is my lifeline that's what we mean by the coda let's look at the word kudos top of 27 in english the quintessential point and from that so it comes as a derivative well miss typhoid is memento milos and now all mindless let's continue this contrast was said originally as a talk to rebecca following on yutez kislev and it was the talk after the maya mahasitas the rebels said so the rabbit says as we explained in the mimer shall that night 1965 you test kislift was based on a mimer that the rebel ashab said in in 1950 in 1915 or 1914 yeah built in actual 1950 14. what does it say there in the mimer and what did the rebel repeat from the innermost level of from sorry from the innermost level of kasir well i'll explain so and even and yet mamish the actual effusion from the innermost level of attic well the myelin said and even more so um i'm sorry peter saying surf the infinite left infant infiniti of gods and nim which is found in what we call rad law which is an acronym in the brackets you have the breakdown the lo is the head or beginning that is not known okay let's let's break this up before i before let's read a note here note 15. when you see the words here my shirt a new light abrupt what does that mean a new light so let's look at note 15 i'll read light is used as a favorite metaphor in cabola exitus to represent and describe the various manifestations emanations and forces of the divinity so when we talk about hashem giving influence to the world we're talking about we use the metaphor of light it is often used in contradiction to what is called asmut the essence of god the level beyond all definition manifestation etc explains this in his book it says there um rabbi emmanuel shocked his mystical concept citizen appended to the english reaper tanya uses kabbalistic sources to explain the aptness of this metaphors follows of all physical phenomena light is that which most deeply approximates what is spiritual and freed from the limitations of matter for example it is not corporeal number one it delights the soul number two number three it enables one to see it is also analogous to the nature of divine emanations insofar as light is never separated as number four from its source number five spreads itself instantaneously number six irradiates all physical objects number seven does not mix and mingle with other substance number eight never per se changes number nine is essential to life in general and number 10 is received and absorbed relative to the capacity of the recipient wow wow wow and he doesn't say here you sure okay you may have wanted to keep the number to 10. i mean this is that that's an essential point of life that is similar to to the soul right that are not more younger makes the great remark which is found throughout siddhas he says it's not one of these ten things and i i don't have the mind space now to to look carefully at each of the ten things but basically that go ahead why don't you explain it unison since you said it ah the light coming from the sun the veins coming from the sun is similar to the light on the board of the sun itself not only you can tell the rain coming from from from the stars you can tell what the stars are made at all by extending the quality of the light right so or from the light may ain't hamor it has a a similarity right it has a similarity to mar to the source of light to the illuminary let's continue the last paragraph for a second and the note to finish it needless to say however the analogy is still only an approximation and must not be taken in any literal sense terms and concepts related to the divinity must be understood spiritually without any temporal and spatial connotations whatsoever but basically this all is an explanation for the words in the in the text in the hebrew or khodosh that is the the the new light that comes from from the inner aspect of kessir now what does it mean let's talk about kessler look at note 16 it's it's self-explanatory that's why i'm reading the notes cancer means the crown in kabbalah and siddhas literature case refers to one of the most transcendent levels of godliness it is the crown or level that transcends the tenth so-called swedish creative divine attributes and manifestations of god the swedish are divided into two categories seijo intellect and midos emotions the tans fetus are the source of and parallel to the ten powers of the human soul just as man reveals himself through his attributes or their garments through speech thought speech and acts indeed similarly hashem revealed himself through his attributes to spheros then there are four worlds or basic levels each of which is a general category of divine manifestation ranging from the highest level where there is total unity with hashem down to this lowest physical world where we inhabit which we inhabit where the infinite is all but concealed each of these four worlds contains numerous subgradations also described as worlds now kessel is the level which transcends all worlds and which is the crown to the spheros it is identified with hashem's super supernal will which links hashem the infinite aims of with all his finite created worlds bottom of 27 in the notes for an intermediary is necessary in order to link the infinite with the finite an analogy the essence of the human soul itself is beyond all description it is neither intellectual nor emotional how then does the soul does in the shama express itself and give rise to intellect and emotions if it is entirely true if it entirely transcends these realms that's the question it does so the answer is through the faculty of will razon russon is a general faculty power not only not limited to any particular part or function of the body but it's all encompassing and unlimited and though russian is is still not the essence of the soul but only an extension and reflection of it it is the first state of movement from the pure soul to the faculties which express it and thus it is an intermediary between the essence of the souls faculties now um i'm gonna go just the next column the right side second paragraph on the page when new light emanates when new light emanates from kessar all the spheroids are rejuvenated as it were and elevated in our context citizen described as a new light a revelation of an aspect of god hear through concealed a deeper insight will save to man in other words i guess it's like i told you before basically this is uh you know kabbalistic and hasidic uh terms and ideas but that idea is very simple my friends when you study siddhis when you learn siddhis and what is citizens say this is the animating force that animates and everything else a friend of mine yesterday we learned together he he told me that as in screenwriting a screen someone write writes a play a screen screenwriter there's something called a through line does anyone know that is a through line so he told me a through line is the nakuda of the of the play that is writing the script that is writing and the the the a good screenwriter carries and the the screw the through line from the beginning through the middle to the end and if not the script comes out lousy or not as good as it could be so i learned i i this the first time i heard it yesterday and say my idea over here sit this is the nakuda asmis okay and he brought those are the words of the mimer the kuda of the essay is the quintessential core but what does it mean it's the dna that makes everything else tick that's what it says here and where does it come from up from it comes from kesser and it comes from the inner of kesser and optic and racial delays yada and i want to go into these different levels but basically it's the deepest of the deep like is what always say is the holy holies right is the deep of the deep it's the highest guess what this doesn't require animation excitement all of that as what i call fascinations right you come to yerushalayim i've said this many times but i gotta say it again i'm standing at a bus stop and i realize i'm standing on the stones of yerushalayim and i start jumping up to myself people some people look at me and i start singing to myself why i don't know why i just all of a sudden was overtaken by the thought hey i'm standing in yerushalayim there is no you know script over here could you tell me wait a minute you can't do this because people think you're a nut or do you really how long did you prepare to dance on the stones of jerusalem see when you do that you're not in what we say in english you're not in the zone you're in a fascination something that fascinates you talks to you at certain times and when it doesn't fascinate you you don't care for it i was at the oil and i saw an old friend and i think i told you my my daughters were there waiting for me to come out and take them home wherever they were going and i went over to him he was looking at the screen and i grabbed him and pulled his beard and gave him a hug and they're turning colors my daughters you know they're all you know they're teenagers young adults and there's other women in the room and it's quiet and i give them a big hug and i say how do you do it and in the car they said wow you you really it doesn't it doesn't come from here it doesn't come from here if you have that dna that's who you are be it here be it there i i once years ago i was somewhere at a kiddush in the in the catskills and someone got up and he had a big cup of wine or higher might forget and he made a broker and he says and i'm looking at the people and i know some of them and they're really against that and no one says a word [Music] and i knew this person already passed away he was such a simple person and to him he was saying basically rabbit i still think about you and rabbi still love you and because it was so genuine no everyone melted because all the arguments and all the discussions are all superficial so he chose those words to express his love someone else chooses other words and i'm not suggesting we do that i'm just saying that you you and and that's why even the the the the people who would be most adamant and would tell someone like that sit down and be quiet didn't say a word say word and trust me he was an older person they didn't need him they didn't get anything from him but when they saw him and he had a relationship with the rabbit back to the 1940s he told me he remembers the first day the rebel walked into 770 in the minion and he didn't know who this person is and absmula the older husset told them this is the rabbit the previous rebels younger son-in-law he told me i was there the first day and the rebel was looking into the gamura right so you know arguing with such a person you're just in a different wasted way time he's elsewhere i see this i'm just using this michelin different michelin and stories and life experiences to point out to you what we need to get to so here we have schwarz we have we have a lot of work to do you know some say well sure this is the easiest yamcha you know what it's the hardest you know why schwoz is the hardest young peso he got a and a murderer and a sailor sukis you have a sukkah and dancing with a tater you've got something physical to do shmu is it's about learning talent some say tickets we say thicken but there's no mama shoot so what's the answer that's right this is the hardest to to connect to to to really internalize because what are you internalizing the core that could this what is it see this and that's why a lot of problem people have problems with say this i'm not talking about people who are shallow or argumentative and foolish people who are smart people who are refined it's it's it's a it's a it's a lot of work to learn to this it's it's a big commitment to go to a core it's so much easier to to have a fascination and be turned on right you know a friend of mine's father it was tequilas by the river and by like every sadiq i'm sure by all the tsaddikim takiyah schaefer is the greatest thing right here you are in 770 you're squashed like a sardine five thousand people and the barbecue rabbit the topic is blowing shaffer everyone myself included would turn around and listen and look try to see the rabbit's face it was an awesome mamish and awesome sight i it i can't i can't do more than that because you have to be there but i was there many times so my friend's father who was for russia and husset from generations my friend was standing next to him my friend turns around to look at the rebber while he's blowing the schaefer or he's preparing and my friend's father has his palace over his head and is looking towards the wall towards mizrah and my friend said it's not his father's father-in-law i'm sorry so my friend says to his father-in-law it says it says father-in-law aren't you going to want to see the rebels holy face when he blows the shaffer so he tell it so he tells his son-in-law my dear son-in-law he says in the city of the altar it says that a person during kies should focus and concentrate on the sound of the chauffeur it doesn't say there we should look at anyone's face including the rebber's face and he didn't budge and he stood towards the wall with his talos over his head now i could i tell you to do that for the barbecue in 770 on rosh hashanah is like jumping into a fire it's mesira's nephesh the the urge the temptation to want to see that salvik's face is so powerful that it drew everyone and this closet is not doing it probably the only one is 70. you think about this story that he told me it's because he was living with anemias really i i'm not saying that looking at sonic's face is superficial and contentious but he says this is what it says in the center of the altar what what do you want from me i'm following what the altareb is saying he doesn't tell me to look at someone's face even though it's my rabbi and it's a great sadiq and it's rosh hashanah and it's awesome khabir we're going to continue tomorrow but this is the nakuda okay i think i've given you a lot of uh stories and answers what what did you say great story okay jaime remember a great story i'm sorry i'm driving i know i know now you know what you need to do next rosh hashanah you know there's a time there's a time for singing and joy and dancing and all that and there's a time for deep focus and concentration have a great day we'll see everyone tomorrow bye
