Find true truth through planting Charity - Tanya Igeres HaKodesh 6 - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

so good morning good day good morning good day we're learning nowes we're up to six on page 218 the AL here continues talking about the MIT and again in this he's going to look at S as mid the attribute the quality of Truth so you you you you'll see as we go through the 32 chapters 32 letters that the AL is tackling the midst of from many different angles so let's go the one who plants the plural of the reward is truth this is a verse in Mish chapter 11 chapter 11 P the AL explains what does he have to explain what do you what is what is King saying here that for giving giving planting the reward is truth you know what do you mean the reward is truth does it seems to be enigmatic this this verse he says the benefit the reward of planting he it is the quality of Truth in other words it's not that it's not just that you're giving s with truth in other words one person manha can give TOA with with with falseness with in other words he really doesn't want to do it but he has to do it his friend pressures him the the person asking pressures him but he really doesn't want to do it so the the AL says this isn't only what the verse is saying that you need to be truthful when you give Saka but more so that the reward cuz it says the reward is for giving s is that you will attain the quality of truth and and and on this concept Al asks a few questions let's look further and it says OV there's a verse that says and I give truth to yov yakob is the Jew so if Yakov is the Jew and God gives Yakov truth why do you need why do you need more truth to be given to him through Sedaka a Jew already has truth you'll see in a second and the praise of God the prophet organizes it sayses that hasem the prophet says in the name of God that there different qualities that Jews have that Eden have and one of them is the mid so the question is this is this is not a this is a retor this is a question if so what does what is in in in mishle in Proverbs say this bright thing he's the greatest the the mind of of men the wisdom of and he says what do you mean a Jew has already em a Jew is yov and yov has em look further the fact is that what it means is God is giving some additional kind of Truth to Yakov to a Jew that a Jew does not have on his own you hear that even though uh excuse me even though every ye every Jew has EMS but the type of EMS that the is talking about here he does not have unless he gives and what that is we're going to learn in the chapter let's go further so we must understand doesn't have em God forbid God needs to give it to to a Jew implying is that what no that I you and I as yeen don't have emis in other words whatever we do is lacking a certain quality of EMS and and is saying to to us that if you givea God will imbue you with that a different that another level of EMS so we need to understand what is that level that additional level of EMS that we don't have and that we attain by giving s that's the setup of the chapter is in this little paragraph and it continues to explain this it's known the of jakov as the third of the Patriarchs AB yob Abraham Isaac and Jacob represents the quality of Mercy what does it mean to serve god with Mercy it comes from the arousal of abundance Mercy in man's heart that man has great Mercy man Over The Godly Spark that's in his heart in his soul that's been distan from the face of God the cons of God when when one walks in darkness the foolishness and silliness of the world and so one is walking in darkness and one is involved inim right stupid things foolish things so at that time guess what happens AB guess what happens our neish our soul our spark our is inz and we need to have wake up and say I have mercy on my own soul so we're not talking about here now having Mercy on someone else not yet talking about having Mercy on yourself and Al says so how how does how does one come to this arousal how do you feel that my spark my Nish is in mud spiritual mud in darkness says In classical philosophy style from comprehension and knowledge hasem in the greatness of God even the superal RS are as though as though they are nothing before God because all of their effluence and their energy next page top of is just but from emanation from a ray and an emanation from one letter of God's name as we as this as sages say and we we learned all about in the previous letter with one little all of the world to come was created so what do we see we see that the whole world Wall Street and uh the Eiffel Tower and all the big things all over are just from a little letter so how insignificant are all these things and how awesome God Is So when you meditate on this it says not just you know yeah I know you know I thought about it I realized you know no we're talking about meditation contemplation and you think about how how awesome Hashem is and you know when I this is the time to think about how awesome hasem is whether it's from your own work whether it's in the world just look around you what's going on and it's all from God right so so when you think about this it arouses in you a feeling that so what's going on with my with with this Godly spark God is so awesome and I've taken this Godly spark and stuffed it in the toilet outrageous that that and that wakes you up says I got to do something I got to change my life I got to get up earlier I got I got to D with more I got to give more I got to help another Jew I got to stop talking l as much and all that right with this Ray and amination which is the extension of energy coming from God's name Blessed Be he to enen the upper and the lower worlds there within the ray iser within the mination that's where over there you find a separation and a distinction between the upper and the lower there this is a truism that this world has been created with the letter hey and the world to come with the letter and so too all differences of details within every World depends on the difference how you combine the letters of of the Bas you hear this and so too the changes of time of seasons and of past present and future and the changes that come in all Happ happenings in different seasons it's all because of because of the changing of the combination of the 22 letters of the olive Bays ha again I love that ha ha this this these letters when they're combined one way or another way they bring down they draw down the energy from God as we already explained in in this is all these changes you hear this is only from the Ray and the amination of God continue a conversely however in comparison to the very essence of God it's written I am God I don't change I don't change whether you're talking about the difference between the highest levels to the lowest below just as God is found in the upper Kish look at the word is Kish not just so is he in actuality is equal in the lower he refers to the first section of chapter 51 and also regarding the change of of time of past present and future just as God was singular before creation so is God now after post creation post creation so in other words the whole idea of time and space all of that is when you talk about the level of sh Z an array and amination a reflection of God there there's a difference between upper and lower and past them when you talk about the essence it's all it's all the same and why is that because because everything is like not and and and and zero e in comparison to the Infinity of the essence of God and this is and we learned this earlier in chapters 20 and 21 repeats it here briefly take for example one letter from man speech or even one thought if you compare one letter from from our speech or even one thought if we compare it to the overall soul that we have the intellectual soul and it's Ence to kind of break your ear to shatter your ear in other words in other words that it's so insignificant one letter compared to everything I'm saying is nothing one thought compared to how much thoughts of the Soul can think is nothing and we just use this as a way of shattering the the ear means it's an expression meaning you know to show how how much more so it is by God Almighty truth speaking we say this in right before all of that there's no comparison refers to the second section of and this is what we when we say quote the exalted King Alone May from from before May what does it mean we say this in just as from before creation he God was alone who so to God is the same way alone singular one now post creation he's exalted above the days of the world that God is exalted and uplifting above above from from time time is called the days of the world in the verse why is time called the days of the world because the energy of all the days of the world it comes only from the level called the king as the King invest itself already in the universe has explained elsewhere not withstanding this truism there's a great Mercy for the spark for the spark that's rests in our body the dark body the awful and the darkness which means the the the Serpent's um skin next page 220 that's apt to receive spiritual defilement and to become disgusting with all kinds of indulgences so in other words what the AL is saying is look on one hand why should why should all this make a difference if you're talking about aem's Essence we just said don't makes no difference so if it makes no difference then then shouldn't make any difference too says you're right when you're in the level and you're experiencing the essence it makes no difference but the fact is we're not experiencing the essence we're experiencing the the the Ray and the amination and from that point it makes a big difference so from that point we have a big problem here and continues if not for protecting him giving a person the might to battle with one's body and its indul to overpower them one would never be able to do it you hear that you're surprised why you have a Ty at 75 years old till the end you have tus but Hashem gives you Hashem gives you power that you can if you use that's what he says so from the perspective of those of the Ray and elemination of God's energy there's a vast difference between upper and lower and and and and past present future is very real and tyers are very real and nevertheless so there so therefore if it's very real I'm in trouble I'm in deep trouble what have I done with my spark by Goof Off hasem says I understand ch Now's the Time you can get back on the bandwagon have mercy on yourself don't don't don't stuff yourself with more addictions because it's it's terrible it's it's harmful to you temporary pleasure of all kinds honor Pride big deal at the end it makes you your your soul schik dirty so get back on the one B have mercy so in In classical kabat style MERS because you were were a student of of and maybe and all that in the mercy comes from looking at God Everything is Everything Everything Changes based on God not not on oh you know I'm a sinner or I'm good that's a result but when you want to really be impacted you have to think about God and God's spark and have mercy on God's spark not have mercy they're going to hit me I'm going to burn or I'm going to be happy that in kabad is Small Change you understand it's real small change iser wake up you understand iser you understand what's going on here and by the way it's not justad it's the bov the bov teaches us put the focus on Soul put the focus on God don't focus on hey how many sins do I have how many Mitzvah and which way is the scale G to balance Etc and I know we say that in the and we but the focus is what is going on with myish not myish the the spark The Godly spark that God gave me what's going on with it and that's a very healthy nonsubjective way of looking at the situation let's continue it's known hold on there are two types of awe and love for God the first ones are a derivative from the comprehension the contemplation and the knowledge God's greatness and and and and and and and ideas that lead to loving God and fearing him and the second type of love and fear that one develops they come later they they don't come from your meditation mil o Masha one day after working hard rer all of a sudden you're so inspired you you feel elated you say where did I get this from if you work hard on developing your love and fear for God Hashem gifts you later on with a a a Heavenly Godly sadic like love and fear for him so this is a gift let's continue look look what he says it comes from above like just like I said it's a gift as it says Elsewhere on the verse in the T where it says the service of presence I will give I will give the priest your your priesthood this is referring to the quality of love for God so Also regarding the quality of fear for God or for God you there's no comparison between the first type of love and fear which are a result of the intellect which the intellect that creates the love and fear in comparison to to the latter type of fear which comes from the Creator the second one is not created by you it's given to you by the Creator so there's no comparison you know what's called EMS what God gives you the love and fear that's not generated by you but is imbued in You by God as a result of your good and hard work say the Seal of God is em truth who it's the truth of the truth the true truth and all truths within creatures that's created by man is like nothing considered like nothing before God so the question what is the a path that one should Merit to this truth of God that's not generated by us but rather given to us by as a gift it's by arousing great Mercy before God over the spark in your soul which is the attribute of that runs from one end to the other end from the from the exalted upper highest levels to the lowest to draw it down to the lowely world the Dark World if I when I sit in darkness nevertheless God is illuminates me this is the meaning God overpowers us what with hisid but over here he means he's referring to in manner of EMS in other words the the The Human Experience as as hard as you work you'll never reach the ultimate truth the truth of the truth like the famous sto ver of the kotar Reb he was on his deathbed right and he's dying cuz the ker was an extremist with MS and he said you know what I'm thinking about now what are people going to say about the kutar after he's dead that's what I'm thinking about as I'm dying that means I'm false if I'm thinking about what are people going to say about me after my death what are they what are they going to eulogize me with you know so it shows you're full of baloney so in other words The Human Experience cannot reach the ultimate truth the ultimate EMS is only from God's perspective we reach truth within the maximum that we could do which is important and this is what says when Hashem sees that you are are going on a true path and you have mercy you realize it's not about punishment and reward and brownie points and all of that but it's rather it's not about the 48 ways to happiness okay to say it bluntly 48 we happiness was good in in the 1960s and70s for the hippies and others the Bal Chua movement at the time needed that but in truth we're way Beyond 48 ways of happiness and if I'm not happy if I don't if I don't find happiness in the 48 ways therefore I shouldn't put filling on fool it's not about happiness it's about God happiness if you if you if you if you connect with God you'll be happy trust me when you're in a good place you feel great right what does it mean to be in good place to be with God to find Hashem in your life to feel hasem and when you feel Hashem you're the happiest person you don't need to have pills and you don't have to have spiritual pills of 48 ways take happiness okay one way there's one way to happiness that's all I don't need 48 I need now my is not experiencing AEM says the therefore have mercy on your soul and really have mercy what you you're doing with your soul you're you're selling it and and you're insulting it and you're abusing it stop and hasem sees that you love him so much and that how by showing mercy on your soul he says okay you're in you're my guy I'm giving you I'm giving you what more than you want I'm giving you this love and fear that's beyond you let's continue this arousal you hear what he says this galic this everything I just said that itself has to be with truth not not to say all of this and oh I'm saying it because I want to make my my students you know wake up right I'm trying to give you a a shot of andr this morning said M right and we have all these issues right so that's truth that's nothing says the arousal on the spark that that's so messed up that itself requires truth let's continue so the question is how can my limited truth arouse the ultimate truth of God the answer is giving because means you have mercy on someone who doesn't have on his own to enen those people that are that are brokenhearted by by doing that you awaken God from Heaven you wake up the sleeping and the Slumber ones are woken up that's through the Mery and the superal kindness that's been hidden say my to go out to leave a state of concealment to Revelation and then it then it shines in a good in in in a way of Truth therefore the verse uses the verse in this verse uses the word plant what's this word say what's on top of next page because you have to plant this level of Truth when you give Sedaka you're planting this objective truth from God's perspective into your life into the world oh this is even more so when you talk about not just s but what's kindness of see is pushing here and people in russan Ukraine give money to May Come Close you know and then you'll fulfill the verse truth will Sprout forth from the from the earth days by planting the kind of in the earth and the kindness the Abundant Mercy that's gathered in the earth they arous the superal kindness that are concealed as the verse says it's been concealed to prepare it to uplift erected says with Charity with you've made me upright you've made me proper so the AL says that we're talking about when you plan I when you give s especially to people and that's why it's encour this letter is saying guys here and you have more money than the people they need they money you're bringing into your into the world and into your life an experience of EMS that you would never be able to reach on your own and it's very important because otherwise your EMS is limited have a great day uh bring it tonight they'll be online live uh it's
