so good day and welcome back from P Mish
a
KES very special I think the next one
will be in 20 years or
so in this letter sacred letters
29 talks about the virtue the advantage
of
Hal of that section in called what is
special about Al compared to talmud and
to other parts of
this is what this letter is dedicated to
it's a long letter but and kind of a
difficult one but we'll do uh we'll get
through it get let's go getes page
296 20
29 it
says says a woman of Valor who's
considered the woman who who is a crown
for her
husband
now this is explained to
be that the the the woman is the is
analogous to the oral T and the man the
male is analogous to the written T
to and we'll see how this is developed
in this
chapter is we find
the the fourth chapter
of someone who uses the crown of t for
their own sake their own gain passes
on it's it's inappropriate to do
that this refers to someone
someone who uses who learns T which is
called the crown of
T so we see that according to the
G refers to the crown of there's the to
itself and there's its
Crown we learned
the
says whoever learns every day you know
he'll be he'll Merit to the world to
come so these are quotes from and
and
and why areas called a
crown and why they called the crown of
to that's number one this first question
number two the G
why specifically someone who learns is
promised to
have but if you learn or you learn you
learn there's no such a statement it's
only about
why no it doesn't say that it
says no no no I'm saying I'm saying you
ask the question it's exactly why yeah
why right
yeah and why doesn't it apply to all the
rest of that if you learn any part of
you Merit to the world to
come and so we need to understand what
it says in the 11th chapter
of even if person just learned one
chapter in the
morning he fulfills his obligation of
Torah
learning so the Imp again the
implication is
specifically
asks why why don't you fulfill your
obligation of learning TAA by learning
any part of why must it be
specifically the this is the question so
what the AL is going to explain as I
said in the very beginning is the virtue
of that aspect of T let's
continue what the taught and this is a
very very important teaching for all of
not just Tanya for all of life and all
of TAA
every
single must come back in many
incarnations until he fulfills all
63 and in what Manner in thought speech
action and the purpose and the reason
why he must come back
is it's to complete
the garments of the person's
soul and to correct
them as it it shouldn't be a missing a
lacking garment in other words a garment
needs to be a nice laundered
well kept and smelled and with a
pleasant odor in other words
there every has a thought associated
with it a speech associated with it and
a debor although each Mitzvah has its
primary mode but there are the other
aspects within the Mitzvah so as long as
you
haven't com made your Mitzvah I the
Garment complete in thought speech and
action you will have to come back again
to do that this is a teaching of the
Holy
arel theel says this there's an except
this doesn't
apply that are solely dependent on the
king of the Jewish
people he the king is he exempts all
Jews all ye so those Mitzvah we don't
have a personal obligation to do we
fulfill them through the
king and what's the
logic because the king is the General
representative of all yeden so therefore
certain Mitzvah only apply to a King and
and if we are connected to the
King right we we we we fulfill those
Mitzvah through the king that's what
theel
says the reason is why this is necessary
but everything else all other Mitzvah
that don't depend on a king every one of
of us has to do in a complete way and
the reason and if not we have to come
back be incarnate
reincarnated we need to we need to en
envelop and enclothe all the
613 levels and faculties of the soul
that there shouldn't be one that's
missing means missing
it shouldn't be missing shouldn't be
lacking this y ends the quote kind of
from the now the
explains so we know from the Aral you we
must have these garments otherwise we're
reincarnated over and over says the AL
to explain further and
elucidate the absolute necessary
necessity and the need to have these
garments is it is explained in the Holy
zo and it's understood to every person
who who uses their who who's bright and
intelligent who has Intelligence which
is every every
person since the level of spirit and
soul within man
are a created
phenomenon it is impossible for any
creature and creation to
comprehend the Infinity of
God and even after illuminates of
himself the and he kind of shines
in a in a Progressive Way top of
page the progression goes from level to
level and therefore making it possible
to sense and have some benefit from the
emanation of God's
[Music]
Infinity as we learned earlier in Tanya
that the manner in which Hashem gives us
ability to relate and and benefit from
the Infinity of God's light it's through
many contractions Mighty
[Music]
contractions many garments and mighty
ones that are known to those that study
the esoteric teachings
of and in the which is section of Z
these
Bame cus with the name hair look hair
lots of
hair hair
cus the the the hair of his
head is like white
wool so white wool is a reference to a
very high level of God white is Purity
and the hair is associated with that in
other words the hair is a simum on a
high level of godliness on
white so although it's true that hasem
makes
contractions availing to us the
insa in a limited contracted way
nevertheless the Soul spirit and soul
the three different levels of
the they cannot tolerate they can't
handle the light of God that
is it's too
overwhelming as it
says to see the sweetness of a go
of says the AL the word the word in the
verse
means
sweetness like and sweet three different
words all
meaning um
sweetness and it's a tremendous pleasure
a a mighty pleasure
lay it says
then you will have pleasure of hemia
comes and he will
satiate he will
satiate
the um with a pleasurable thirst that's
how pleasurable it will
be
L the word
means
thirst as it says
in and it's impossible for the for the
soul as the soul is invested in the body
to receive the
sweetness which which and which through
us having that
thirst so it takes
a that it shouldn't go out of his cover
the light
and if it does it'll be an in its
existence like a little candle is AED to
a great flame to a
torch unless from this level of light
itself will come forth through
progression through
what we will have will be a very minute
emanation in a manner of
progression level upon
level with Mighty
contractions until it
create one
garment which will be a created one
there that will be analogous to the
condensed
light and there it will be possible to
enclo the the soul will be able the the
three levels of the soul will be able to
enclose itself
there and through this
garment which is similar to this
infinite
light the soul can have Delight light
and
pleasure from a ray of this
light and to comprehend it
the and it will not be an of its
existence take for
example someone who looks at a um at a
son through a fine and
Lucid spe
right he looks at the Sun so he could
see but he can't
see it says came to the within the
cloud and he
ascended he enclosed himself in the
cloud and he
ascended and he a kind of God
metaphorically speaking through the
cloud as this concept explained the
second section page
229 this light that we're talking about
of that's hidden for
the to experience when M
comes which we call
B the sweetness of
God and and The Thirst of of of having
for
God to pleasure oneself with
God
Alim and the 400 worlds of
pleasure of of delight
the says
in that have this great delight and
pleasure from this level of
godliness this is by Kon you know with
bought the field for 400 she 400
she yes so so it says one second AB it
says in Z that the 400 shek represents
the 400 levels of Godly sweetness
there are many levels Higher and Higher
One upon the
other but
a after
level to create to create a certain
garment which we can relate
to this comes from the lowest
level within this
life so you know we we call this the
lower
level in the backside mus like the mush
that we had earlier in Tanya that the
person who gives some gives something to
someone who he loves and he cares for He
looks at them and gives them what a
smile enjoys that but then there
is the concept of somebody you don't
like you throw it from the back so the
AL is employing that here the the last
what what are we getting from this last
level which is like the the the you know
the Rock bottom the S sediment in in in
in in a barel of wine that you know it's
all the way in the bottom and it's just
the uh the the bad pieces and all of
that
what what' you
say yeah
yeah it gives you the
references next
page 29
and what we benefited from is just from
what's left
over just as in a person's soul there's
a power of
pleasure a person has pleasure from what
he has pleasure
in some people have pleasure from from
coming up with new innovative ideas
and similar to the pleasures that people
have so pleasure is the inner aspect in
other words pleasure it's not doesn't
need the outside the pleasure comes from
the inside what is the the pleasure the
outside he says that's the what we call
willp power look
further this refers to the Power of
Will a person wants what he wants so
that's the external because right means
the
item triggers you and because the item
trigger you triggers you you want it so
the compared
to
is external compared to
to he says
what does a person want something that
is not
painful a normal person doesn't want
something that's
painful right so what do we see that
rutson rutson goes away
from right goes away from something that
is contrary to pleasure but it's not
pleasure it's the external of pleasure
that's what he's saying
so to in the in the
moral the infinite
of metaphorically
speaking the will of the Divine
God it is external on the back
side to the superal
pleasure andem sweetness with and and
hashem's
thirst and and the desirable pleasurable
worlds that we mentioned
earlier they also enjoy and benefit from
the ultimate
unity his will are
one and which is different than the will
of man God
forbid there's no similarity whatsoever
between the will of and the will of
God there's no
comparison
neveress the uses it
employs human
terms to shatter the ear other words to
catch your
attention using words that you're able
to hear it when it's used as a an
analogy and a riddle so it's analogy and
a rid for for for God and hashem's
creation and the man of creation so
therefore when we say about hashem's
pleasure and hashem's will you know it's
all met
metaphors and we use these and these MOS
these and Parables and these riddles
from man's soul
because man is is comprised of the power
The Faculty of
pleasure and
will wisdom and
understanding as we see in
actuality when a person
intellectualized with a with a very deep
new
idea as
so it's at that time at least at that
moment there develops that gives birth
to a tremendous joyous
wondrous appreciation of the
idea in other words you coming across a
new
idea so when you studied this idea you
mastered
idea the result is much greater that you
create a pleasure that you have in the
idea which is much greater than just the
intellectualization of the idea but it
begins through the int
intellectualization
process en cloes this this idea that
really comes from the pleasure into
intellect
he
says so when a person feels the idea and
the
wisdom he comprehends it he understands
it hate it very
well then he has some sensation some
feeling of the delight and pleasure
within the idea
and therefore we we call
it we
call is called in the world to
come because is the revelation of the
idea with the pleasure Associated and
permeating the idea
which
the
experience and they understand the depth
the inner part
of the secrets
of because comes
from
wisdom
and are all
one was stopping here and we will
continue re just a short question a
quick question sure the word that the
rebel here is is
mentioning right yeah the word so in in
modern Hebrew it means to shine to shine
up I I'm trying to understand where is
he getting this the root of this for to
your T right it's not it's not my T it's
downed t uh let me look at it again and
I'll give you an answer tomorrow B
okay thank you Z have a good day
everybody
