good day we're learning Tanya the third book of the Tanya third section calleda letters uh of chuva now it's not really letters it's but that's what it's called the get Chua initially by the way I think it was all written as one long letter it wasn't divided into chapters there's two two additions of this from the author from from R Alman and this is the second edition and it's was divided into chapters so we're on page 194 and we are about uh eight nine lines from the bottom the last two words on a line which begins with Mish after the period the the author the batan here is discussing the concept that that transgressions of various sorts causes a blockage between the flow of Godly energy into the person's life now just for a moment I want to just explain the reality of this th this isn't just Moshe a cabalistic mystical concept for the mystics or the kabad Niks or or the people are into this this is for every single Jew regardless regardless and and and if we start understanding this better then then we become sensitized to what we're doing so at least when we gossip it should bother us when when we uh don't give charity and we can and we should it should bother us you see it's more important I should say more important but it's not about the result which is a the result isn't always where one is at it's the process the process is do we un relate to the fact that the flow of energy of the flow of God's influence to us depends on us we're always thinking what God makes happen in the world God makes happen and in a way like I I can't take responsibility it's God so if I believe in a God I accept what he does and although that's true nevertheless together with that Hashem says God says you need to take responsibility and you do make a difference and the difference is that either the flow is going to come quicker straight more powerful or it's going to you know take time or maybe it won't come because there's a blockage in this chapter the author discusses this idea of uh of this concept of this concept so so this is what we're learning let's let's learn quickly because we might get cut off very soon cuz I see the battery and I have to run to the car and I don't want to get it so if we get cut off I'm very sorry let's go page 194 so to it's Regard in the parable in the moral all transgressions that man steps on with his heel needless to say those that are more popular from the words of the sages which they are compared to idolatry immorality and spilling of blood murder what a powerful statement concealing concealing um concealing your mind from Saka holding yourself back from it says guard you should be careful maybe you will be ble your heart will be ble like bad you know not not good we have a verse in the Torah that refers to idolatry Etc another example someone who who publicly shamed someone else and and shares that information he this is Gossip which is equivalent like and immorality and the spilling of blood and murder another example whoever gets angry it's like you're worshiping an idol fourth example someone who has ego it's like idolatry okay says and there are many more examples in the tal then he says the study of Torah is equivalent to all of this the say God gave credit to idolatry and he and and and he said that you know if you make a mistake with that I can kind of forgive you but but when you don't study Torah and you have the ability it's it's like it's like a dollat Tre for the next page top of therefore the rabbis um organized in the nightly prayer one says the prayers accepting upon the four um the four punishments of death that the rabbi that the Torah suggests for different
