Hechaltzu chptr 5- Divisiveness vs. Inclusiveness: Chochama, Bitul refines Emotions - RC Dalfin

So we're learning from the rashab from p in the last chapter in four the rashab explained to us what the cause of sinam is and in one word it's yeseshas ego and the opposite of course is bal humility which is the cause which causes That that's the and now we'll continue inside chapter five. This will explain a concept brought in the cabola that the particular spir emanation the sphere that mig opposes spiritually is and he explains the is brought into me under the letter me. chap chapter 13 and this is what he says that is quoting mid is the name of the kipa that opposes the superal father and we know is that abba isma we know that from chapter 3 in Tanya Aim is aim is so this is a quote from him. Okay. Okay. So we have a source for the Rashab saying that that Midian represents the opposition of and he explains in other words here the quote ends. Now begins the explanation as is known is the level of humility. It's comprised of two words. The potential for what is this is the sta stage of ultimate humility and subservience to the self to the infinite infinity of God infinite light of Hashem. So that's and practically speaking is there when a person is in the mode of they don't they don't feel themselves the idea shines right what'sma the way the seesma not the way you read it in any other safer it's a unique t of and maybe maybe there's another safer too that follow along and took it from Alb I don't know but what is it? It's the it's the it's the compartment in the mind that is not in control. The idea is in control and hence it flashes and it shines into the person. I got it. You ask the person what did you get? I I don't know. And the person's right. What does it say in the Gariah? He found a new maybe I'm not quoting exactly word for word but that's the concept. His face lit up. It says it doesn't say he understood. In other words, the mitsia like when you when you lost an object and you find it, you there's not it's it's it transcends description. I got it. What did you get? I don't know. I have to check. I have to look into it. But I know that I got it. That's the way sees it. That position in the nephesh is the bal position. It's the it's the real ultimate humility. Now bina which is the second compartment of the mind that's already where you are in control of the idea through the process of analysis this is the general difference between sob says I'm sobb says when the su says that mid opposes what mid opposes Exactly. Because since mid we learned in chapter 4 is all about Yeshu. So which particular aspect of the does mid oppose? Not but that's the the trajectory right here in this m clear. I want to make sure you understand this because this you know now this is you know got to understand the first point to goes to the second point that gets deeper and deeper. Is it clear? >> Yeah. >> Let me just let me let me say it and see if Okay. >> Yes. >> Since is is Midian opposes because Midian is about >> correct? But what but but you said it correct. Now I have to challenge you to see if you understand what you said. Why is bit because it's just a spark of idea. You don't have any hold on it until it goes to be. Once it's in bina you're chewing it over and you're figuring it out and you're bringing it into completion. But at the level of >> it's just a flash. >> Right. In other words, I I I like to sum it up as saying in it has you and in you have it. That's right. Okay. Good. You You got it. I see you got it. Good. Let's continue. Now you see he goes a step further because the plateau of is so powerful that it also makes a pale p means it impacts it impacts midos to have bit as well. Now what's the issue here? What's the issue here? The issue is mitos the midas are emotions. Emotions run high and emotions is in a sense full of yesesh. I feel love. I feel all the yesesh is very palpable in the midos. So the the a hashem made that through first experiencing a if it's the right it'll not only in its own right be a place of ble subservience in in the mind right as as the first of the three components of the mind but it'll also make an impact that the midi should have some ble that the emotions shouldn't be you know and and I feel love I I just thought of you know how people they say oh I love God I fear God I have right but it if if it's coming from the emotions it's all self and that's why there are people that conclude loving >> one of those statements starts with the word I >> yes Yes. And therefore many people, many experiences go to left field. Left field completely against mitz, against hashem. But it makes me feel good, right? So in order for the mid to to to be genuine, they need to be predicated on a healthy. That's what he says. Let's continue. I see you understand that so I don't have to. Now we discussed many times there's four names hashem and so he says the name ma which equals 45 right comprises the word the potential of ma of what is the the guiding light of tikl in the notes there's a lot more about it but I want to Leave it for now. Since the says I also will take the liberty of leaving it for or for selfreading in the English which I encourage you to do look in the second there's two begin with it says the second the second going back down to the the ultimate of is the the the ultimate of inclusiveness. His is in as it says over there. Okay. It says in Kabala when the Abish they made the from Allah through tough excuse me the 22 letters those were the vessels to bring division his into the world preise you had his scalos that start dividing and olives not bes is a not etc. That's says that's the beginning of so the says here that where are the felt through the mid in other words the of the olive bay kind of express the emotional side and emotions are separate love is not fear fear is not love I I want to you you might be wondering well is not be not but there's a difference in the mind there's there's more of a union between the three this is this is another long discussion but in the mid each mid is palpable and strong so his is very clear so yeah if If you ask the question is there any in the answer is of course there is not is not. So what does the what does the mean here that his begins in the ice which he says are the mid and the explanation is that when is it felt here this is when is it mash when do you hear in midos in because it's in it's in it's inhel there is more it's not felt you hear that you hear I'm adding I'm adding the the point here that not that there's no the iskalus is absorbed it's not felt because of the overall aspect of intellect does that make sense to you sir >> I understand what you're saying, but I'm not sure that I understand what the um what it means. Uh uh you know like we say that that each of them each of the spher each of the meters has within it each other of Gabbor of of so but the three intellectual um midos somehow are >> no not you don't you mean the three intellectual spheres yeah >> are more are stronger in their identity that they don't you don't feel the ad mixture. >> Yeah. Yes. But what what does that mean? In other words, the what's the difference between intellect and emotions? Stop. You know when you try to understand a piece of especially how deepid is you have to try you know bring it back strip it from the the depth and and just try to understand it on a simple simple in a simple way and then go further then apply it to the text. So what's the difference between intellect and midas? Intellect >> the heart, >> right? So the int and the heart pumps and the heart >> versus emotion. >> Exactly. So that's what we mean that in intellect although there's three components nevertheless the overall abode of all three are in a place where his is less prominent less felt. Okay. in midos the the ghetto the Hebrew word the the the ghetto of midos in other words the condition of midos is such that it's all about feelings that's what feelings are manasha so so since it's all about feelings manasha so each aspect of feeling is very strong and very powerful and very different his it's different and you see this you see this in I mean you know you think about when you were studying or you studying and and learn and thinking a person who is lost on thought is in in the world of thought the process is less is less divisive Or mind you the biggest yesesh are those are are the philosophers and the people who intellectually come to a conclusion but that's that's another that's another that's another discussion I don't want to you can't got to keep things on track each thing you know why is it that a Plato Aristotle an Einstein and even the more the brighter they are, the more their intellect, the the more adamant in their in their opinions. They think they know it and and they're right and the other person's wrong. But that's an intellectual that's an intellectual idea. the the the the application of it is the midos and that's where they you know they get into issues with others. So it's not just a understanding is this thehatus or is this the tyus it's I don't like you because you have this opinion you understand so that so again the emotions are where his is prominent that's the point he's making let's go further but from the perspective there's no so here is you vel you see it's not that in in in in in there is no icy ice there is icy ice but the icy ice are not in the mode of isalus comes from the word oaber it shines light are the vessels that bring whatever idea you're involved with to be revealed. So is also an experience. So the soma also has but as he says here the of theus is not felt there. And the reason is because again as he said earlier which is the ultimate of humility. Therefore it's the ultimate of unity and inclusiveness. Now goes now asks a rhetorical question himself. This doesn't contradict the fact the issue that's mentioned elsewhere that the beginning as is explained over there. That's that's where the rhetorical remark ends. Now comes the Rashab's retort, his own retort on his rhetorical remark. That statement that the beginning of is begins in isaden. It's from the perspective of will. The willpower that transcends logic any logic because there's also division. No two opinions are alike. Every single person differs than the other person in their opinion due to their comprehension which is and there be no. So therefore there is some level of iskalus but when it and when it's and the says when it says elsewhere there is no iskalus we're not talking really about we're talking about I'm sorry we're not talking about we're talking about willpower in willpower there you could say there is no division whatsoever Again, when we say willpower the want, not what you want. What you want already. I like I want ice cream. I want a car. I want a house. I want So there are differences. We're talking about the drive the that's equal throughout. That's what he says. Continuing and another reason what to explain the difference and why it's not a contradiction. The the con the idea of intellect is to limit everything grabs the intellectual idea. When you say grabbing something intellectual, you have to grab on is to what? To the six, the six sides intellectually from all sides. Everything that's been grabbed by the intellect, by the mind, it's because intellect limits it. in what what does what does intellect do? It puts a limitation so that you should be able to understand it otherwise you can't understand it. It's overwhelming intellectually. What does intellect do? What aimsum atum in that's the process of timum in the mind and and and by the way that's why sometimes you have a genius who who cannot be matsum himself right and and and the ideas by him are very convoluted he doesn't have the ability he hasn't to be m build a I just had a in Florida, a beautiful, wonderful 13-year-old boy read the Tyra uh two Shabases ago and he read it very fast, but very very good but very fast. I went I said it to him nicely privately. I said, you know, you you really read wonderfully. I really enjoyed your reading but just he he slowed down a little bit and he shook his head. I I mentioned to his father and his father told me that he has such a he has like a genius mind. He cannot. He thinks faster than he speaks. That's what his father told me and I heard it from other people. He has such a phenomenal mind. He's like a gifted a gift a gifted person, gifted child, a teenager, you know. And I told him that they have to make sure that to groom him, right? Because he could be a god will be he could be a real god will be. But so here makes the same point in a sense's job is to be to limit it this side that side top bottom right put it into a box so that you can understand it. Let's continue. The idea of is to crumble everything to take it apart into details in if so specifically's job entails division. So says he's answering and he calls I'm sorry the says he calls that says I agree with you but you have the wrong compartment of the mind whose primary role of the mind is to do this as you said is earlier in the sh it's beina grabs it grasps it with its mind It's in control. Then the idea is divided into many details. But in the level of although it's some form of intellect, nevertheless, it's not like you actually grab it. is a general idea that transcends division into details. Explained elsewhere is another insight to this idea of what is the purpose of of of the is to bring it together to be inclusive. as known as it's known. There's two types of divisions. The first one, it's a type of division that causes separation. Take for example the division of the essential powers that every person has. Each is different than the other until they don't have even a connection and no no inclusion one to the other. If you look at the power of that's of of the essential quality in a person's soul. You look take a look at the power of of the the essential they are the ultimate division one from the other. And if they were to be revealed in their in the way they are in their essence, they won't tolerate each other. what happened over there is that the were revealed in their most simple form but each one was very strong. This is who I am. Therefore, each was opposite the other and it caused a breakup says elsewhere. Then there is there's a second way of the division. over here it causes not but just the opposite inclusiveness when is that when you divide one idea one concept into many details over there the details enhance the general idea because two things that are different over there it causes separation But but if you have one thing and one thing only when you divide that one thing this type of division is a reason for unity. In other words, there's more place in which the oneness expresses itself. So that's what he's saying. There's two types of divisions. The first type of division leads to the second type of leads to aus. Uh we'll read the kitm uh in the next year. Everyone shall have a great shabas shabas. Make it the best. We'll be in touch. Shabas everyone. Byebye. Masha maz on your 80th birthday. And you should be gaz. >> Thank you. Thank you. >> You should be gaz and and live to see Mashiach only with >> Amen. Amen. >> Thank you.
