G-d has many costumes, don't be fooled by them, it's all G-d - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

good day we're learning and finishing today chapter 51 P we're on page I am B and we're about 10 lines the bottom after the first word on that line is with a period we're at we're holding at the word just to bring you up to speed here I'll is explaining the concept of how those are words we heard from the rebba thousands of times action is primary action speaks louder than anything else those were the Reb's words the words of the zes is in order to forget the to get the oil to burn and to light the candle to be lit and these oil in the parable brought by the Yuka in the Zohar which is mentioned as chapter 35 so you need this oil what's the oil you would think the oil is wisdom intelligence and study and learning and says no it's it's the Good Deeds so the alter since chapter 35 spent time focusing on that and IT addresses what we learned on the cover page of Tanya the title page which was written by the alterb himself the author and part of it part of it and he says there that this book this is based on the verse for the Torah is very near you in your mouth in your heart to act upon and we understand as he explains in various chapters that out of all the three things is the is not the your mouth's not the primary mode of connection your heart your emotions are not but it's action and that's the whole thrust of the safer so on one hand you could kind of simplify all these flut and tooten ideas that we're learning levels of souls levels of angels levels of of of God way the God God permeates the world the way Hashem Encompass the world all the things that we're learning and we continue to learn with saying it saying it very shortly saying what what's the T about action but that would that would be oversimplified buing it and for that you could take out a it'll tell you how to act as a Jew so obviously the action orientation the teaches is a different type of action meaning it's the inspiration to action it's the depth Within action so that when you act your action is imbued with life and energy right imagine you're in shoe you're standing you're at a table and there's someone else sitting next to you and a third person and one person puts on Fillin and the man you see is on fire and I don't mean only if they're closing their eyes they're shaking or they're screaming or they're crying you just could see that this person is has been is been absorbed by the Mitzvah and the Mitzvah is all over him there's another person who's putting on film is doing it because that's what you do as a from you put on in the morning go to Sho and then there's a third person who puts on the Fillin meditates reflects studies a little before and and you see that the person is is in between right three different people at one table doing the same action but it's three different actions it's three different behaviors so the T the in the T talks about the different behaviors in action one's called a sadic one's called a Russia and in between we have a b and he says fellas I'm not here to talk about really theik or the my book is for the average person I'm talking to you to us and this is what he's dedicated himself to and this is why the t is such a Wonder F teaching and course for every single Jew cuz every every Jew is the average Jew the potential best so here when we get to chapter 51 it's a kickback to 35 which a kick back to the title page and here he says since action is what what speaks loudest what's this idea that Hashem finds himself we we find in hasem finds himself for example in the Kim the holy of holies he says God is all over so what's this idea that this is the place of God and this is not the place of God to explain that he uses a mush of the Nish of the soul of our soul our Nish and he says that we find by the the same thing as I explained yesterday at length the three ideas of the and point line and space is what we call in the essence of the soul and that's equal to every single Jew you born to a Jewish mother you had a proper Jewish conversion you have the of a what we call the yish Pint pint Point quintessential quintessential Jew that's it I don't care how long your cuckoo is or how short your haircut is it makes no difference that's that's the okay that's very very nice but once we come into this world we encounter experiences that seem to contradict this essence of the and guess what sometimes we fall into that trap and all of a sudden we're not expressing a living we have it it's always there by a but we're not living it that way so says that's true and you know why because when the essence of the Nish manifests itself it it manifests itself in a way that the receiver or the receptacle the receptor is significant and makes a difference and there we have a difference between the brain the the the emotions and the action and it happens to be that the brain as he said already in chapter nine of Tanya is the Abode for the Nish right for the the the brain and that we call not the on sh we call that from the word energy Vitality the V Vitality within the essence so you're not talking about the essence in its very Core Essence you're talking about an energy that comes from the essence once you give Credence to an energy from the essence it's one step removed from essence and if it's one step removed it's a thousand steps removed why because once you leave Essence you're in the domain of the visibility the the difference between essence of soul and life within Essence is Adam for itm difference one is non-divisible because by its very cor it's non-divisible and one is divisible in various ways it happens to be that the first point of divisibility is within the brain very nice but it's already been divided and already has a place so that's why T says in chapter n where is the he in the mo within the head right because we're already talking about the world of the visibility so once you so therefore you could say you know this one is is this is their profession this is the everyone has their thing because we're talking about we already accepted that there is a a way where the Nish manifests itself so as soon as it manifests itself it opens itself up for the visibility finally so that would be the Cav not the nuda the quintessential Soul that's the line of the Soul line meaning that there's many on the line and they make up a line but they're all theot of a line meaning theot points with indivisibility but from there comes about the third stage which is the stage of place area rural land right go out to Idaho and the potato Farms right lots of land today we pay a lot of money for sh it's called real estate especially if you're in a very high real estate area of Los Angeles Chicago New York Boston Etc right and ARR uh it seems like all over is already very expensive the shetta you got to go somewhere the Golan or in stot you know unfortunately because of all the issues you know you probably still can get a deal half decently but the point is that sh is really where it's the Battleground is the Battleground when the Battleground this case is jealousy you know uh greediness everything is a so the AL says the has the essence its Essence it has the way the is and then it has the way this same that's within the brain in the head is the nerve center for every other thing that comes from it including even the heart as he said it in the brackets of the bottom of page 142 and and that's why says you know why the the the Mind Over Matter by Nature that's the genetically it's because the heart itself receives energy from the so if the heart itself receives the the has a certain say over the heart I.E mind over matter the paradigm shift the the the idea that that the mind can control the heart if you just use your mind access your mind learn how to use your mind and you will you will tame and control better your heart your emotions so now is explaining still this concept in in what we call the worlds the upper worlds and the lower worlds like I sang in the n yesterday during this year God has loaded in the upper worlds and the lower worlds and what did they all come to the same conclusion you are one and there is no other but nevertheless who is making that conclusion Angel souls are the Heavenly Creations creatures and then there is the lower creatures now within the lower creatur teachers we talk about the world of AIA what does it mean the world of action so you would think a the world of action means you know the famous story with the Reb marash with the said Reb there is no world everything is buttle everything is nullified to God the re said lay down on the table let me give you some some lashes and we'll see see if there's no world we'll see how you jump up from the table ah stop it hurts there is no world right or take another example just put some money into the bank and someone does a fraud and all of a sudden the money's not there or it's less money boy you jump and you you put out a you know you let the credit card know and the bank know in other words there's no there's there's a world there's no there's no world they no nothing happened so what's the point in the world of AIA in the world of action the the physical world of action which you call the physical and capore world everything is very real okay then there is the counterpart to the world of gashi which is called so when we talk in and and in cab and different learning and and you learn about the four worlds right we're not talking about physical pH physical stuff that you can like you hold a football and you throw a football what y used to you know teach here in borrow part t t to a lot of the Polish you know the Hungarian polish and they didn't have the kabad background and they came to learn you know and one of them said and he was talking about this idea of spirituality and and and and someone like commented is so where can I see this it's like where can I buy it at C for five bucks I mean where can I see it you talking about metaphysics you're talking about so the counterpart is what we call the world of action and this is what the AL is going to address now both now look let's look inside that was my Prelude and it should help clarify what we're going to learn in the text inside the the lower ones even the spiritual ones don't think that they have so much Revelation from God the energy that they get is enclothed in many garments that hasem invests his energy in his light Hashem gives them is drawn to them and illuminates them to enen them but through garments through a disguise the here is an acronym and so much is the disguise it it strengthened itself the guu and overpowered these garments are so overwhelming and so powerful that God is able to invest and disguise within them the energy to the point where the energy is so dim is Sir that from that that energy God uses to create the physical Kori World Mish when he creates itens it with energy and Light which he draws to it and and illuminates it a light he repeats that's invested and covered and concealed Within These many garments there's so many these spiritual garments that they conceal the True Light and energy until you don't see and it's not apparent any light and any energy let's go to the next page 144 what we see is Caporal matter material matter vashi physical matter the Mason and at times it seems like they're dead right the stone the Rock is Dead seems dead guess what sometimes a person is alive but it's like he's dead he's lifeless and I don't mean I don't mean here a depression we're talking about someone who's not depressed but you don't see life in them animation nevertheless within them yes there is light and energy that from nothing to something not yester year not at a good time when it's a celebration but Tom constantly good bad ugly great makes no difference they wouldn't be here other otherwise like he says next so that they don't revert to be not and nothing as they were pre-creation this light it is from the infinite God Ro he repeats again the reason why it appears to be silent and dead and unlively is because it's been invested in many garments as written in that the light and the Vitality of the physical earth ball the material the Caporal earth ball the Earth that we see really the says you know what you're looking at it comes from from godliness as godliness invest itself in the in the idea of malus Mal within all that it has an association to the 10 spher of the world of the highest of the four worlds which are united with its creator we call it not Creator means emanator what is he saying here he's saying here that Hashem created the world and and in order for the GM to come about and especially the cality theas Hashem put a uh uh on himself many garments so so that the essential light should be hidden because otherwise it'll be too much or for he wanted we should have free will for various reasons he doesn't go into the reasons here but he's just saying you should know that that that it's all lushin so what he's doing here in this last part of the chapter is saying to us that whether it's that we learned about yesterday's year whether it's which we learned about now the upper the lower it's all from Hashem it's all from God but God has different formats of disguising himself of hiding himself it's like I guess impersonators or they have these I don't know what you call them I don't don't I just see about them people who make fun and late night shows of presidents and other people you know you know it's like one time they'll show them this way and one time they'll show them this way here we're talking about Hashem Hashem wants that the world from the perspective of the Angel should be seen a certain way he wants the world to be look to be seen from the perspective of the souls another way he wants the perspective of the world from our perspective to be this and this way and guess what within our world each and everyone has a different perspective so all everything everything in is part of leim the garments so what we walk away with in the chapter is that if you know that it's God in theim don't get lost to the garments don't be fooled by the dress up by the by by you understand and it's interesting it's coming to Pur him right what happened over here what kind of Nest did we have P him it was a nest with it was a nest that was enclothed in nature you have a king and you have a queen you have an hmon and you have a Esther you have a morai and you have the Sim and you have the advisor and this guy wants to get rid of this guy you know you could if you take every individual detail I'm learning now m G and it goes through many many it's very interesting and different rabbis different comments but as I'm learning I'm thinking how you could take these details and say each individual thing is not miraculous right for example a wanted to show off the beauty of of of of vashi right so he makes a big party he also wanted to Plate his enemies I mean it wasn't right cuz there was war before and he became the king of over 127 countries right so he figures he'll kill two birds with one stone he'll make a big party celebrate showing everyone hey I'm a nice guy show off his his his his pretty wife right and um that will lead to them embracing him and saying oh yeah we find you have good grace we like you a what's miraculous about that it sounds like a sensible plan I mean you could question you know for example did he reach out more to the people who were distant far away from his Palace from his country or did he show more kir to those that were closer in the G to opinions what he should have done right but it's all sensible it's arguable it's positions this way that that way you could think it right but when you put everything together so so one second all of these details is what the Albus calling these are the garments that hasem made at the time of 2,000 years ago etc for us to have Yeshua to be saved as a nation so he dresses up in a certain way and if you look at it indiv everything by itself as it said it's not a miracle we you put it all together you see it's the Yem it's the y m the Y but it's so what type of Miracle is it say it's what call Nest a nest within the the laws and confines of rule and Convention now is saying the same thing here in his language you see you have have to be when you learn and you and you learn you have a a bigger picture it falls into place it's the same same as what kazal is saying what gamar is saying but in different words so rather than getting scared oh I'm learning cabala you're not learning cabala you're actually learning a piece ofar but just on a way where maybe it talks to you more because you we were late you know when we talk about the spiritual and the metaphysical we say oh really tell me more about it it's unknown I really want to know who am I where did I come from my daughter put one of uh she was learning with someone in Tel Aviv she want to know about the soul she says you want to know about the soul talk to my father so she calls me up so I say listen you sure you want to know about yourself you want me to regress you and tell you who you were it's going to cost you a lot of money the point is the point is people oh who was was I was I in the Holocaust was I in the Spanish Inquisition was I a Jew was I male maybe I was a female or question was can the soul of a male be reincarnated into a female and vice versa that's the question she asked my daughter my daughter said that's not my department talk to my father he probably can answer you but and the answer is yes as it says in K but all I'm saying is a lot of people in the ISA world World when they hear that they run a mile away like get out of here what do you abnormal you you know you have nothing you finished already sh you know that you're talking about souls but when you when you when you learn all of T you try to and you learn this you learn that it fits in it's all one t it's not a new T you know anyway so I conclude with this over here that the garments are the disguise but it's the same God the same Hashem in everything and that's how he answers the question the question was is the or the all over the answer is there's a level of that's only theim but that's not the essence the essence of God is all over the manifestation of God theim of God the clothing the disguise the C that's differences and that's why there's no contradiction between and we have to train ourselves to be sensitized to this so on one hand I told you this that this fellow came up to the Reba 1973 on a a coldest January day in in New York it was freezing and he stops the rebba as he gets out of his car going up the steps to 770 and he says M you're theab and what say yeah I'm theab doesn't doesn't doesn't say any and he was very angry he was uh you know he was a 60s product which you guys know what that means and he he says with anger in his eyes shakes his head so he says he knew he came from a holocaust family V is got where is God so the says I all over so he says if God is if God is all over why is there a Christian God and a Muslim God and a Jewish god and everyone wants to kill each other and we have Warren right good question the Reb explained to him briefly very briefly because it's freezing outside and he has to go to his office they ever said to him the Christian God oh no I'm sorry sorry the rebba said God is in the heart so he said so if so what what's this difference between the religions so so he answered that the told him the Christian serves god with his heart the Muslim with his heart and the Jew with his heart study K and put on and have a great day and he continued up and he told me Elliot it's online you could see the video he told me himself he told himself the story before it went public that um that it he didn't he didn't walk away putting on film the next morning cuz he was very angry and upset with Judaism but after a while he thought about the Abba's answer and he saw that yeah there's a Hashem has made that's what we're learning here lushin Christians Muslims Jews others lushin so on one hand on one hand theim are real but at the same time there is there is a god of the Christians a god there's the way Christians F understand God Muslims and Jews and everyone in there whatever their religion is should practice it like I told you that I read once that e asab in Russia when he when he passed a funeral sometimes he would tip his head a goisha funeral the because again he's not looking at theim theim a church you know and and Tuma you right it's not for us right there and all that but there's something greater and if you identify with that and it's with with it's within has to be within not breaking and not for us to say I can do what I want that's fine there's nothing wrong to tip your hat right it says for example you shouldn't say I'm going to meet you at a a place of AAR if you make the place of a an identified place that's where you tell your friend I'm going to meet you there that's forbidden that's what I believe in the ra but tipping your hat if that's the way you acknowledge God you know so I'm saying it's allim and that's that's why this is a significant chapter in Tanya because it identifies and explains this issue have a great shabas everyone and we'll see everyone on Monday we'll start chapter 52 Z Gaz take care Chas
