oh we're on page 36 and Tanya
and what we learned until now
is a very important point
and that is
that
by the beginning the the potential man
that the altariba
teaches us and Tanya is
us that we can be
complete and thought speech in action
nevertheless
in the heart
the urges are still there
and it's very important to know this
and it's important for everyone to know
this not only someone who's working or
someone who's really is not religious
but even the most religious person with
the biggest beard and the biggest but
they tell you around everything else
they also are not Sadiq him
so they need to know that there's
something there and be on guard
at the same time know that your
potential
is so great that you can actually
perfect yourself in thought speech and
action in action to do only what's right
and speaks the talk only was proper and
even the thinking
which is which is constant right a
person's always thinking
as soon as
something inappropriate enters your mind
you push it away as we learned in
chapter 12.
in today's section of what we're going
to learn today mits Hashem
ba talks about another kind of
abandoning
basically in Tanya he speaks about
three to four different types of baby
and and we'll recap that in the next few
CL today or tomorrow
but debating they talks about today is
the one
that I just event I just identified
someone is learning Tata
yaim of the Lila day and night
now here Maisha you would think
if you're in the basement all day and if
you're in school all day and if you're
only learning a davening and and and
doing good things
what do you mean there's there's an urge
in my heart that's lodged there and as
soon as I open up the the the lid it
jumps out
I'm learning the Dominique I'm not
working I'm not on the street corners
right so let's look so this is what the
outlet identifies today as another type
of banana okay let's look what he says
we're now on page 36
and we are
on the fourth line
the three words from the end
the f
foreign
[Music]
someone who desires the Toyota of God
the tone of God
and he any any and he's diligent
about its study day and night
and the other ads I've run the word
leshma
he learns it for the sake of title he's
not learning to get a degree to get
Smita
to be a rabbi no no no he's learning
because this is God's Terror
and that's a very high level by the way
Maisha
to learn Tyra to be a rabbi
a great thing right but if that's your
agenda it's an agenda
you know they would they were the barber
and my father-in-law included
that didn't want to get smika and my
father-in-law was I tell you a pretty
good Jew a Pious Jew he never got smika
the rabbit spoke about getting smika
when he already passed Congressman stage
because the river felt that it in
today's world having the uh the PHD
after your name is very helpful right
and I can tell you that firsthand and I
don't want to digress but I will for a
second only
that if I had a PhD after my name
I could get into any University and
touch thousands of more people and I was
encouraged by Dr Rabbi Dr Metzger
laborator who was at Stern College a a
professor
and and he told me and your position and
at your age in your life are you talking
this about 15 years ago
get yourself the PHD I'm I'm telling you
the red but when he spoke about not
going to college didn't mean you
right
and I've seen and I didn't for whatever
reason
but
I I see and I see today
that because I don't have that PhD after
my name
you know
you can't get into certain doors they're
they're professors around the country
who I'm in touch with because of my
writing and they'd love to have me
lecture for the students but I the
policy is you need that Ma with that PhD
after your name from a reputable College
not from the rabbinical College of
Morristown or from
um you know Chappelle's Chappelle's
Yeshiva degree ain't gonna get you
anywhere no if it it might get you it
might get you what
diploma
you want I know I know I know but but
but but
Yoni I know about I know but I know
about that too but first of all it ends
and it's false and it makes it worse I
don't want to go into it I know all
about it is it okay and and it's it took
so my point is
learn English small is not for the PHD
okay imagine velve was here
wearing his surgeon doctor white uniform
and you know
he he learned to be whether it's Eureka
whatever you got your degree from
available
I want to be a doctor because I want to
help people what
thank you that so he wants to be a
doctor
just to help people
then there is I want to be a doctor
because I need a partner
I need to bring home foods for my and I
can also help people
and I like medicine so there are all
kosher reasons but there is an agenda
I'm not saying this about you available
I don't know why you became a doctor and
I don't want to know right now
but then the good thing is there's learn
English mom
for the sake of the the subject matter
itself and does learning malishma most
Trader that is learned is not leshma
okay if you think it is you better wipe
your eyes and drink a good cup of coffee
and wake up okay
now that every here look what the outer
never says let's go back to the text
this individual that I'm talking about
says he learns
night day and night wow
and Le Shema
he learns it for the sake of Tita
so if anyone can be exotic it would be
someone like him
look what the out that ever says now
here comes the whammy
this is not yet proof
that the evil the bed within his heart
has been lodged at all
from his from its place
still there
Ella
it could be
on the and Ella yohaliers but rather it
could be it it is that the essence the
medus the character of this individual
was learning day and night who be
talking
it's in its full potency and it's a full
strength in its place
and therefore
it can come out at any point could you
imagine Rock
the differences
that by this individual His Garment
supports which in action shall never
shall bombings of the animal Drive Aina
must slaps him
don't invest themselves in the mind in
the mouth in the heart
because God gives dominion and power
with
the heart
Heaven you've been learning Tanya for
many years I have a question
didn't we learn on the other side of
this page that the reason why this type
of being in these seemingly
is able to overcome is because God
stands to his right we had a whole thing
about
what does it say over here why is he
able to overcome because
the mind has power over the heart make
up your mind what's the reason
two different reasons
so the explanation is I heard the same
it's very simple on the first side of
this chapter 13 we're talking about
another type of abandoning
we're talking about obeying knee who
isn't learning all day we're talking
about he's out on the street he's
working like all like all of us pretty
much right
over there
our heads already a little messed up
so our heads don't have the power to
overcome the heart because we've been
warped in our Moab
but if you wanna if you're on the right
Trap God will stand to your right and
help you out so that's why on first in
the first page of painting gimbal dramas
uses the reason of Hashem or Israel
what's this type of abandoning someone
who's learning day and night with
schmuck so over here guess what
Maya
foreign
work
and and this difference Hebrew is a very
important difference for Outlook
what's the what am I referring to
someone who's already been messed up in
the Maya a little bit less a little more
you know there's only one solution God
help me and stand next to me and give me
the character overcome because if I go
with my mind my mind's gonna lead me to
accept the dictates of the Yates
but if you're someone who's in the
Yeshiva World or in that Arena
and you're learning Tyra especially with
Shema then has not messed up it's indeed
you're learning terrorism or learning
even day and night not even terrorismo
but you're in that realm your mock so
someone is learning if then they can
ease more easier access their their mind
to control their heart
and this is what we when we when we
talked ourselves family and friends and
others and when you especially do
Outreach to bring people back together
you have to know where are they coming
from
and I go back to that countries that we
learned together how important it is and
maybe it's worthwhile for everyone to
relearn it slowly on their own
but the previous letter writes there in
order to succeed with a student you must
know their background
and if you don't know their background
you will never succeed with that student
that's without them ever saying here
if it's a pain in the you have to know
the background of debating of this guy
who's a potential benign if he's the
type
that he's already been
um exposed okay he's been exposed and by
the way who hasn't been exposed
fine but if he's the type that's not
been exposed or he's transformed himself
where he's learning so much that he he
forgot all the stuyat all the stupidity
and and Folly of his Youth and now he's
like a guy who came out of Mayor sharing
with whatever panovic whatever they
whatever they think they they create
these pure individuals which as I said
think they create because I ain't
convinced that that's what they actually
create but
I have to tell you this this this
anecdote joke or maybe it actually
happened because I just have to tell you
I said the ones to say again
they sent the Baja from the Babbage I
mean 100 years ago in the city of
they told them the mashpia comes over
and says Yanko it's time for you to to
get married
okay you go to here and here you'll
knock on the door
and you meet someone you meet you you go
there you'll meet someone
your ankle goes then
you listen you don't ask shylus you
don't ask questions you just do what the
mashpia says he goes to the door he
knocks on the door
and the girl who's supposed to meet with
him meet him comes to the door he sees
the girl he says I am eagle
a girl and he runs the other way
that's the type of Buckingham that
happened with bobbage 100 plus years ago
believe me I'm not saying all the burger
went that way they weren't
but they were such as well
totally you know you have to meet for
marriage who are you gonna meet uh a
stick a wall
are you learning about a girl and about
a woman and all the details and he knew
shot backwards and forwards when it
comes to meeting him he runs the other
way why I it's a girl because the truth
didn't register because by him his mayak
was totally elsewhere and I know it's
very hard very hard to imagine that
there is such a person on Earth but
there is
says someone who lose title is schmuck
their their mind
has not been adulterated
their mind is pure
and therefore for such a type of being
in the the advice is not
that God should help him
overpower the tivus this guy has the
ability to use his mind because his mind
is pure and overcome let's go further
Avi we're on page 36 about 10 locks down
second word on the line
never surely kiss
God be sold that lodges itself in the
brain as we learned in chapter 9
Michelle Katana dominates over the small
City everybody have both referring to
the limbs of the body coulomb all of
them she yielded
um
so that they become a garment and a
chariot to the three garments she
slapsa of thought speech and actions
but as far as the very essence and
character of The Godly Soul within man
meaning The Meadows of the person
Angels
it does not have control control and
Dominion as from the from the
perspective of the urge and the essence
only
because God will sleep bye when is there
a kind of complete control when there is
palpable love that's revealed in the
Heart by this
upon him at select times
other similar times
addresses the following
if you're telling me during diving he
feels this way so wait a minute so
valuables are throwing down
and we're not calling them assadic
remember who we talking about here
obeying me
so make up your mind this is what the
outside is going to address now what I'm
saying now make up your mind
you're telling me during diving
his Essence his character is so
connected to God as like as though
there's no bad inside and there's no
urge so why isn't he a topic look what
he says
and even during the opening Aina
it's that he's able to control his urges
Levant that alone oh that itself that
only that I'm sorry could received as
it's written yaakov
right
when one Rises
one fourth right but if God passes by
the church
Jason wants to go out passes the shoe
yaakov wants to go out
we have that Madras so we understand
when one Rises
the other one Falls
and when one Rises the other one Falls
now there's another
writes here and I want to point out to
you how every word in Tanya including
Huli means Etc
with a a a a dash right who
means Etc
why does Fountain ever put in Hulu here
you have to ask yourself that question
because the gazelle continues it says
okay
in other words when yaakov Rises Ace of
Falls when Ace of Rises yaakov Falls so
why doesn't he include the rest of the
Ghazal and that's what the altareba
alludes to with the Huli with the ETC
but he doesn't write it
why doesn't he write it because what's
relevant here in Tanya is not the second
part of the Ghazal what's relevant is
that even after you fall you can get up
that's why he ends
in other words
what's relevant is the the come
hey guy
you fell you have a taiva you have an
urge don't make a big deal about it come
get up rise you know who you are you're
a star you made a mistake
you fell into uh tiger
and that's we have to train ourselves
not to become morbid and and ups and uh
uh you know despondent because we fell
that's it down to them shall never
surely Kiss Me Sam that says but look
what he says the never shall the kids
strengthens himself who Miss garbage and
overpowers I'll never shall buy me so
with enough
Buddhist which is cut the concept of
what's associated with the the attribute
of Bina Liz binding how how do you have
the power how does this abandoned me
he didn't goof up in thought speech and
action
he goofed up it's during baby trila
but somehow that feeler
I'm sorry the Fila makes him so strong
Maisha that when he's diving in his fire
I asked you the question we spoke about
this example yayini's famous five-year
example but it's a good example
how can it be that you should bath and
well and then go thrust by the Kiddush
how could that be
that Maisha Myers
if you have a good davening and your own
throat then you're all in an ecstatic
state of prayer and all of a sudden the
Kiddush comes you're like a behem
how could it be
what's the answer
but right that's the fact the facts are
on the ground
what's the what's the answer wait
that during diving the only reason why I
had this great topic is because I over
my nephew Shirley kissed my Godly soul
is so powerful that it overpowers enough
but as far as my very core Essence and
urge it's a Raging Bull that wants to
Fresh away wants to indulge and be a
glutton
my mashpied abuel told us to tell a
story of two great see them Tel Aviv
I know about both of them
I don't want to say the names but they
were Rashad tell me them of the Rashad
and the Rayas
and they lived into the Rapids period so
he would he said that one said at a
wedding he he was there
the but the the waiter passed by
so one of the one of the hasidim
didn't even realize she passed by the
other one said come here put down a nice
portion in front of me
he liked the eating and it's true he did
like eating it he was bulky you know
it's not is this a sin it's not a sin
you're hungry it's it's it you're at a
wedding you have something to eat
especially in those days in the 1940s or
50s 40s
but nevertheless you could see that that
type of foreign that there was some urge
left that's what the alternate was
saying here she never surely kissed The
Godly Soul misameters
because during davening we meditate on
God's greatness the infinite
Godzilla Hashem and we give birth
to a very passionate and strong love for
God can each behaves like the flame fire
the whole money should believe by in the
right ventricle
the Earth is Molly
and then we subjugate that's exactly
what happens that's the answer to the
question that's the answer how is it
motion that you're able to because
during davening you're controlling
yourself
so it looks like
when the kids is gonna come you're not
gonna press and you're not gonna go
crazy right
that's the way it looks like during
diving because during diving you
meditated of godliness and you think
about Hashem so awesome so great when is
fresh and come into the picture
like the whole thing is contrary to to
being a glutton and
Etc
look at the words now fourth line from
the bottom lay this bottle knee
it has not been
and no totally
in a baby
in other words in its core it's there
Ella it's a dick
where has it been Patel the gun they
completely unknown
by an individual we call it Sadiq
Channel Barbarian foreign
[Applause]
is not complete it's incomplete it's not
absolute
look at this mushroom it's a beautiful
mushroom
a beautiful example
it's like a person who's asleep we're
going on to page you test
he can get up he gets up and he and he
wakes up from his sleep
right during the time of sleeping
everything is Rosy and dandy
I was so tired and wasn't feeling well
last night I went to sleep
animated down I feel better right
you go to sleep
you got up
sleep's the best one maybe the best one
of the best things remedies
get a good night's sleep you're in a bad
mood go to sleep
you'll get it
don't talk about it at night you know
you had a hard day at work you had a
hard day in the family you had some kind
of dispute with your wife just go to
sleep keep your mouth shut and go to
sleep
and tomorrow you'll wake up
you'll be able to
you know it'll be less even if the issue
is still there
says the outlet but using this as a
muscle car
rabbit
the large bed that's in a baby
it's like it's asleep
even when your heart is burning with a
burning fire of love for God
others but after it is possible it comes
back to haunt you
so don't take it for granted
below
he answers now of rum the question one
of the questions that he asked in the
first page of Tanya how can rabba call
himself abandon if we know he's at Sadiq
never
stopped the Torah never stopped coming
out of his mouth means his mouth begins
to from learning
and he desired God's tail again below a
day and night the face of the shaking
which three words meaning such a
passionate desire and and and and want
for for God Vanessa showcase your
fostering and he had a soul of thirst
for God
with a tremendous love Kim
like the time of David beneath
that's why rabba thought he was like
abandoning
all day
remember what we said in chapter 12
during diving you're on fire rapper
state of being 24 7 was like it's
happening all day so it appeared to that
book his ability
why would rather have to conclude
that he's exotic
obey me there's there's a minute pain in
the heat there's a half hour banging
knee 20 minutes of pain in the knee
during supernaturally and and and then
there's a bending of color young because
all day his mindset is banging he like
meaning I'm in love with God
foreign
in other words
abandonedly begins with a minute pain in
me a minute pain in the knee a 20 minute
pain in the a five hour baby and a 24 7
banging me but it's all banging me let
me just finish and I'll take your
question
and as the same to say she is
only I wish that one with diving all day
why
the answer is it doesn't mean you have
to dab an old day you have to go out to
the fields you have to go down to Tel
Aviv and do business you have to run
away from these stupid scars of rockets
right but your attitude and everything
is barely like
so to spell your diving over there
you're gonna have to have anything all
day
someone gazelle
if only we had the opportunity to
thousand all day literally it is what it
means but in a more figurative way it
means we should adapt the attitude of
davening throughout our day when we're
selling products
or in the center of the Americas in the
stores
Etc I'm actually what you want to say
is this so this reference to rabba here
in this in chapter 13. does this now
bring us back to the very beginning
chapter one yes where where's this is it
Robin says I for example in the vanity
and then set up by a2m Mastery and I
make it possible for anyone to live yes
and and
without the web is he's answering the
question there was a question that the
Elton ever asked on that
how can rabba make the mistake and think
that he's obeying me when he didn't stop
learning for a moment he was excited so
the autonomous answer is he could have
made the mistake you're right he wasn't
Sonic
but because of beta knee
is one that eradicates
the feelings of of of of of it has only
a has only a love for God rabbit saw
himself as a full day baby but not
exotic a Sadiq has transformed no this
is the point but Sonic doesn't have it's
not just he has an urge and he
transforms it
he doesn't have the urge because in the
state of being of being a savic there's
only good
whereas the vanity always has the urge
but I control the urge even during
diving
will continue tomorrow Mr sham have a
great day Shalom bye
well thank you
