Fiery Love, why do ppl gravitate to it? What is it & how do I obtain it? Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

126 in Tanya and let's continue where we left off yesterday spoke gave us two two examples of mfish uh to embellish his idea of the second type of AA that he's talking about in this at this point which is called made the love that a child has for a parent he said one is when the child returns from jail from sh and the joy that the father has and the other Marshall he gave is making a a dwelling place for for God which you know doesn't seem to be specific to a child it's to anyone which is true but it is a second muscle that he gives this is the middle of 126 um smack in the middle of page about 10 12 lines down the line starts from let's continue we're in the third word now he goes back not to the love ofu but to the first love that he spoke about in this pic which ISU he says even to that level it's close to a person to reveal that from its concealed to revealed state through using this practice that we mentioned and we spoke about yesterday through accustoming oneself constantly herel be making one's mouth and heart equal in the sense of developing and a love for God what if he can't what if he tries and it can't develop a feeling in his heart nevertheless he still can study for the sake of the the Mitzvah themselves without any ulterior motive so here the employs a concept called imagination in other words let's go into pretend mode but it's not a fake pretend it's not you know a wannabe when we talk about in general talks about imagination it means to focus your mind as though the thing is seen by you now those those of you who are in the the the creative arts world like abam and mha you know myself writing you know this is a very important point you have to the way I do it is I don't know how you do it and M but the way I do it is you have to imagine before you begin your creative process what you want the result to be what you want the feelings to be what do you want to motivate you know when I go into a room to speak whether it's Ain or a lecture I I have a picture of what I want to accomplish and I and I and I work I work on how am I going to accomplish that and then when I start speaking which as it says in when you start speaking it touches the H which is the power of intellect and it goes even deeper so your mouth will say things that you didn't even prepare but nevertheless the preparation involved the the power of imagination in other words I imagine I'm going to speak about about let's Sayid and I know in that room there are litx as well or right and I'm and I say to myself my job tonight is to give these people a taste of realus with the hope that they will then want to find out more and you and you and you focus on that so and this has nothing by the way this has nothing to do with the with the knowledge of the information the and information I have to know because you can imagine and fantasize whatever you want if you don't have the the the the the info the data you're going to be a farce and we have we have such people who are very good in the drama and in the fantasy and the imagination but they have no no backbone no meet themselves and at the end of the day it's like a balloon that that you put a pin in and it just ends so we're talking about here a quality project sorry a quality product that you're going to bring to the table because of your expertise and whatever creativity you're working to working with and that creativity still requires and that's what says here here we're dealing with this problem is right there's a person who wants to develop a love for God similar to the love of this is my life although it's just exchanging one TAA for another T but as we say would say you know you know we talk about would be just AI we would we would we would exchange the T of our material uh pleasures and Tas for the T of of godliness of of spirituality Etc right now what if it's not it's not coming to the heart the AL says so what you should do is you should be this is very interesting in other words you're going to get a gift if Hashem sees that you're working very hard to bring this imagination in he's going to bless you your work and the kavana is going to come so that's why I say to people you know they ask me about writing and take that pen or to go to the computer and just start start start and if you Endeavor you Hashem and Hashem sees that you really are doing itma for the sake of of Hashem which includes pasosa and inspiring people to be more Godly God will send a aav a a a feeling that he will then combine to your action and then your your your piece of art or your piece of writing your piece of music will be electrified with with a spirituality and a godliness that transcends what you had what you did like Godless it's like doing your yeah it it it's doing theas but but here was here we're talking specifically using the we can't put it all in one bag of course it's is true but we're talking about which specific element in should you use to to develop that for that you're trying and you're trying and you don't got it and it doesn't go so the AL says you should use let's continue these two levels of love we said earlier how do we have them initially how do we even have them if their inheritance from our forefathers and it's like a natural phenomenon in our soul and so too the all that's the reverence that's included and Incorporated Within These loves she leader to fear being separated from God I don't want to be separated from from God look how he combines here is both the words from the source of our life and the source of our father why does he say that h both words because he's referring back now to the both the of and the the true God nevertheless says don't get your your horse so high and they're not called natural love and fear only when they're lodged in your thought in your mind and in The Recess of the heart we learned earlier in chapter 39 if you remember we're talking about the love of angels and we said the love of angels is the is like the love of the world of y y is emotions the world of is the world heal of emotions so when you have either an emotion in the heart or emotion at least that the head understands that this is the right thing to do which we learned in chapter 16 is called so over there and and and it's there to that place of the world of Y the world of formation way is associated with the word is see so when you over there you and when you draw when you bring to that place of that domain that comes from them so then it's in so in other words let me just but what if you have palpable love in the heart for that's what we mean it's revealed says the gives a spe a special name to this love that's palpable it's called which is the Hebrew for the will the for the word of love it's the will of the heart the heart is willing to love God you don't have to force the heart to love God the heart wants to love God and at that time where is this this love of yours not just in the T SP of which is the world only of the world of emotions but it actually goes to the world of creation the second world which is the world of intellect in other words at that time your emotions are so powerful that it touches and it and and it and Bes speaks Bria Bria is less materialistic in the spiritual context of course than y y as much as you know imagination is powerful it's imagination about the gim about the material Bri is the EXO it's the the nothingness of of of creation meaning the the there is the yesh the the Eye the the the feeling of yesh is is not is not there let's continue what which so which of the Aros is would be most associating most associated with contemplating the Godless of the world of B in it's in its pure form you know you you you threw out H General contemplating what what type of contemplation but but if I had to answer your question of the general way the answer is okay and it's over there where it elevates that comes from the perspective of the perspective of intellect for it's exiting from the concealed place of the heart to the Revelation it comes through Das and here again he employs the concept of focus and concentration which is and the the wedging of one's mind with power his and mighty powerful meditation that comes from the depth of the heart more the and more constant how God is at our actual life the second type of meditation that hasm is our true father but so when you use that when you do that's why I answered you when you use Das H when you use Das Das what does das mean Das we learned in chapter 3 at the end of chapter 3 it means to wedge strongly your mind through focus and concentration on the idea that's what Das is Das is not just knowledge H lots of knowledge Das isn't even meditation Das is concentration meditation one second meditation as powerful as it is and as important as it is it's still in the realm of intellect what does meditation have to do with bringing it home for that you need Das what like yes yes mha what do you want to say so when we talk about D in this that meditation how do you link up that meditation to both andina you need both to have D yes but but Das Das stands on its own meaning transcends in other words you can have most powerful an idea and then the development of the idea and if you don't focus and concentrate on it nothing comes from it but the development is the beina the development is the beina the idea the creative idea is the now you can be powerful in both usually people are not they're either this or that you know but let's say let's say you're powerful in both nevertheless if you're missing Das there won't be a bottom line result and and and by the way it's a gar the gar says we've repeated when it comes to procreation Ain a which is you know in the physical Union the Kishi the ejaculation has to have otherwise you could be in love and above and the H and nothing coming from it you could be in a union and you consummate the union and not and there won't be a result why not cuz there's missing D and that that that's a gamar that that's nothing do use it says that we see from that that D makes the bottom line in other words the result having the child out of a union out of a out of an intimacy it needs the do for there to be that result and if not you can have all the feelings in the world and wonderful feelings and you can understand each other wonderfully but you won't have a bottom line result why cuz D is missing it you didn't concentrate on it you're saying that the like an examp example of of of a husband and wife yes you say it's not just that the is represented by the man and the mean is represented by the woman you're saying that there has to be there has to be D between the husband and the wife it there to be a very deep focus and concentration okay yeah yeah yeah yeah but okay okay okay in other words focus and concentration is not the love love element it's beyond love it's transcends love it's deeper and that's why in the posk when it when schl says you sing the song right the famous song of theat that song right so the words are from from the Pik so there's four levels right so I I we spoke about this on that the level of of of the the piercing look of the eyes for the Dove and each other that's even deeper than the hug than the kiss it's even deeper because that's Das so D Das is a is a very different experience than just having the information and even understanding developing the information it's it's it's a focus and concentration so the AL says over here that that when a person applies this D they can can have this result of having the Ava act actualized in their life let's continue it's known what what's written in in the world of there rests over there the superal mother what is that is B that's development meditation INF God as says over there in the Z is in the heart and within it the heart understands so over here what we mean is I know you it's a little confusing because the heart is usually mid he means that the focus is so deep that it touches the very core of the heart I was listening this morning to the Reb MIM that he said the first first mimer and I was I was able to focus there was no one else in SHO and I was able to listen to clear and it like it was like a Das moment like wow like I I you know I heard clear from the rebi in 1951 his message for the world and and for his leadership it's coming up shabas the yard site and the beginning of the re is the leadership and I have the lead I bran so I I'm I I re listen to it and you know if you pay attention Das I wasn't I wasn't using beina you know I wasn't learning the mimer I I wanted to hear from his holy mouth how he articulates the word and what he articulates the concept with and what does he want and when you pay attention to it you see and hear Das a mission a mission you know it it's very it's so different than just understanding let's continue not only that these two levels of which is that God's our life and the son that has self-sacrifice for the parents oh now Dr says guess what they also are imbued with the highest level of ABA which we started to learn about in chapter 43 second half of 43 which is called abundant love which even is greater you see from awe and fear from from awe and fear intellectual ones that's called the worldly love and over here you're imbued with something called abundant love nevertheless nevertheless now the here is very practical if you're telling me that I get a chance at some so why should I even invest in and the thrust of the chapter is really about a a love coming from the worldly experience from my experience right which comes from contemplation in order to to uh greaten heighten I'm sorry the the flame of fire of of The Burning Heart for the flame going up to heaven as it says the abundant Waters can't extinguish the fire Rivers can't extinguish it [Music] why says there isn't in one area there's an advantage to over you know what that is Passion you remember the beginning I told you that the way I saw way I interpret rabi said you are in a state of Ecstasy but when you're in a state of ecstasy the passion is not there cuz you're already in ecstasy says there is also an advantage to being in the struggling yearning State because you're passionate right you know what's the difference between a daver who is shuckling and and and and you know really daving and you can see there's a call there's a yearning MAA versus someone standing still so we always always say someone's standing still cuz he's there he's there he doesn't have to shuggle to get there on the other there's a mile of a shule there's an advantage of a shule watch's the advantage of Shuckle I'm not there there but I got to get there and you're all you're moving you know the r salvic called this again I don't know if they're not exactly the same he called it the the world of friction and salvic believe and he writes it in this book far you should know he believed very much a person needs to be in constant friction he used the word excuse me tension constant tension I'm using the word friction but let's say constant tension why because constant tension is analogous again it's to this concept here where says has the benefit is of fire now we calling and here we uses another name for it the love like a burning fire right let's call sp sp is I don't know how it is with your but for many people when they go into a stolen Bas medish or they go into a breast place or you know or visionet right it's easier to get turned on that's why there's so many I see so many young kids going to these from tition and right you know there's a lot of tension now it's tension for singing and dancing and screaming and shuckling you know in kabad we're not talking about uh chaotic situations but in true kabad it's not that way kabad is a very kind of not kind ofab is intellectual which uses the head and Hiser what also even even even tempered and yeah when you get to you sing your heart out you cry your heart out but saying barring those situations is right so there's something to be said about the it really catches on fire so so mha when you take a group of Chappelle boys and you bring them to toar Tish versus to uh most of them are going to be more inspired by the the to why cuz there it's not about listening to deep T you know what I'm saying right you go to there's a speaker he's intellectualizing yeah he tells you a story once in a while a mush he gives you a pinch he gives you a slap he gives you a cry he gives you a and and and if and and for and for many people who are more even tempered that talks to them because it lets them feel kind of comfortable and then slowly it works upon them you know turns over the way you think am Manus Freedman right Manus Freedman he's made thousands of Bali Chua probably the most in kabad right he's very calm monotone and yet people can sit there and listen not everyone and there's some people that just don't like it you know they need they need a ji Jacobson you know speaker to you know up and down backwards and forwards here is talking about the Mila the advantage that there is in a type of Love which he calls now and it's not one is better than the other it's different experiences let's continue when there's this come through this meditation when it's fiery this analogous to Gold over silver gold wow what's the price of gold compared to price of silver gold is gold silver compared to gold is nothing right cuz gold is fire as we'll explain later on in in these chap upcoming chapters and and the reason for this to is because this is the purpose of man he should know the honor of God the preciousness of God great every person based on his capacity of comprehension which it says AB why did God create the world begin so that we should we should know him you have to know God says the purpose is to know God and the way to know God is to identify with this AA which is an which shakes you up to your core and and you explore knowledge of God okay we're going to stop here and mem and everyone should have a great shabas I'm sure I saw in in rabri is coming who I know and my cousin sand uh his mother I think was a dolphin and his father may be well he's an older man and I know him as well and S is a fantastic person he he does tremendous hassid my wife and I stayed with him once when my daughter had her baby in theas and was Mish either drove her or was going to drive her toas in middle of the night real
