on
page we're on
page
me me it's in chapter
37 and we
are about seven lines from the
bottom
um the line begins with the word nit who
1 2 3 4 four five six seven actually
seven exactly seven lines for the bottom
it be the line begins nit were five
words into the
line
briefly has is teaching us here that the
purpose of the creation as he ex as he
spoke about in chapter 36 to make a
Dwelling
Place according
to is expressed in all aspects of of
life from the person to the object to
the overall
world making a de a home forem
only only in one part of your life say
only within yourself but not within the
world is lacking so you haven't
completed the job so if you if if if a
person decides I'm going to isolate
myself have nothing to do with the world
and work on myself it's Tak very good
very important but the da is
not means down and dirty okay in in the
boots like I've told you many times
those boots are made for walking in
those boots you have to walk with Hashem
if you don't walk in those boots with
hasem you haven't made a
complete and so also the other the other
The Other Extreme I'm only going to run
around putting on fil with Eden and
putting up muas and then going visit
people and all that but myself I don't
refine and I I have a rough character
and I have anger and I have impatience
and on and on you also have a
made then says and this is really where
we're at
now that the that you as a Jew are
responsible for from on high that you
that we are commanded and instructed is
to make the da within the whole world
within the go and within every object in
the world that that's a fascinating idea
too because like the argument goes and
you've heard it hey you you have to
worry about CH you've taken care of all
the Jews it's one of the arguments when
the Reb came out with they to publicize
the the the you know the world the
rightwing Orthodox World it says but he
took care of all the Jews all the Jews
already putting
onas what are you running after G
for and what's the answer it's a good
question the answer is a the ra says it
so it's not the it's not his it's a
clear RAM so if you have a Tina tinina
to the ram that's number one and
everyone accepts the rambam even the the
good heartcore lit Fox and the uh the uh
the brisker you learn a ram the is
everything so the r says it but besides
that the Reb explained that if you don't
touch the if that's not part of our
mission then we haven't done the you
know my
son-in-law um
who's in Aviv he was uh he was you know
he was called up um for you know on the
rabbi side Etc so one of the things that
he did I think it went even I if it went
viral but that's my son-in-law that he
went into a the Army wanted him to go
into an Arab School in where in the
north somewhere and and he taught them
about
God it's
online that's you know so first first I
got like come on you know like how can
you trust them maybe someone's going to
come there and knife you you know or
shoot
you but he he did it and but thinking
about it the idea putting aside the
fear is what Hashem wants Hashem wants
that these children who are being raised
you know the this is in in you know in
Arab schools that are in in Isel where
supposedly they are you know uh friendly
and Friends of of Isel it's hard to
believe but that's what they say so to
teach them from their very youth about
there's one one God and God you know
loves people and killing is not an
answer
that's not just to the Arabs and you
think about it that's what a did what
did a do why did a the patriarch the
first Jew
Abu what does he do he messes around
with Wayfarers who come to buy his his
lunchette or his dining uh Diner in in
the desert and he gives him food and
says thank God if in monotheism if not
you have to pay a hefty Bill like why B
why bother with the scum the answer is
that not scum if they made them they not
SC it's Bri brius it's creatures of
God there's many creatures that mess
themselves up and get involved in scum
and do
SC terrible things but from the aish
perspective every Bria is a
Bria and that's by the way as you think
about it we would never we we the Jewish
people even with our enemies you know
we're killing them now but no one's
cutting off heads of people and babies
and burning them in cages and all that
you know barbaric uh you know Nazism
iism you know it's it's it's not it's
not just cuz it's not our nature it's
not what God wants of a creature you
hear the vot it's not just because we
don't have it within us we're we're our
DNA as Jews is differently it's it's a
lot deeper than that it's because that
is anti- anti- God it's anti hasem that
of what he wants of humanity so the AL
here in this chapter in
37 addresses this by with with one
concept as he elaborates and that is
that the has to
be in the lower and lowest elements of
the world let's continue now seven lines
from the bottom middle of the
line in all the worlds of the four
worlds and no spark descended into this
world although it has it it takes upon
itself this great descent and and and
it's captured it's Eng G it can't do
what it wants
and this applies even
to even if person is a complete s
serving God with all and
love a tremendous abundant love of
delights which is tremendous love for
God it compares s it it it it pales in
comparison to the to the love andus and
attachment that the soul had to hasem
with awe and love prior prior to its
descent to the
physical world and he adds the
words not not not not a not a trap of it
not not a not an aota of it and he adds
more verbage more ad
and there's no comparison whatsoever as
known to every muscul every person who's
thoughtful Turn the Page please the top
96 what is every muscle no right V
you're a MUSC you'd have to know
this the body cannot
tolerate an a a Godly experience that's
over
helming you know yesterday A friend of M
sent me some podcast of two the biters
you know but with their own ideas
talking about
angels you're not an angel you can't
handle Angelic
feelings you you could you could talk
about them you could maybe take a taste
you're not an angel and and guess what
you're not even a soul the way the souls
are in
heaven so the
Goof forget of having an LSD Out of Body
Experience or or going on a trip you
know we're not talking
about that type
of
supposedly uh an but my body can't
handle it and you
know and I and I and I and I lose myself
as spoke about and of which I'm very
well aware of and and wrote a little bit
about
I'm not going to go into it now whether
that's true or not cuz I never took LSD
so I can't talk about it but but what I
could say is that the
here means that the body the physical
body of a person cannot tolerate a true
love and fear of God the way the soul
has pre pre pre- descending into a
body okay so even if we'll argue that a
kind of an LSD experience is some kind
of you know out of body experience it
pales in comparison to the true Out of
Body Experience when when the soul is
not in the body pre pre-
body and why is that because the M the
DNA the makeup of the physical body the
way God created the body everybody every
every every person's body from the
beginning of time till the end of time
time
Etc and this is a very important Point
especially for students when they you
know students are radicals and they if
they get into you knowem sometimes they
they want to they want to flip out like
we had it yesterday in SHO a guy in the
morning came into Sho at 5:30 and they
tell me I missed the fun I said oh no
what happened someone came in he said he
was faric and he started to cry and he
started to shout that he God doesn't
forgive him for his sins that he threw
himself on the floor they had to call
shme they so he went into the the coffee
room I wanted a coffee I went in and and
I said to him I said you're a good ye
you have a good take it easy and he
calmed down he was calm and he left
without all without and police they
called to police someone I told the
police it's fine you can go you know
but you know doing chuva with painting
yourself and and and and torturing
yourself is not the way to do it so
let's
continue Topline
96 what is the purpose of the Soul it
comes into the
world to invest itself into this body of
ours and this vivifying Soul who look
what says here here it
is
it's to correct only to only correct the
body and
the and to separate
it to to separate it from the real dirty
stuff the real schut the negativity of
the 33
Clippers how do you do that by playing
golf playing
tennis by guarding keeping the 365
prohibitions and at the same time I'm
sorry skip the
line and their
branches and simultaneously not only by
doing what you're not allowed to do but
to elevate
the the the vivifying
soul with its portion that means each
and everyone has a portion in the world
we are responsible for not your
friend to bind it to unite
it with the infinite
God how is it done it'll be given to the
person this energy when you unite the
world
through through doing all 248 positive
Commandments
using your physical your spirit your
your animating Soul the the she he he
again repeats it it
it it that that that ugly thing that we
don't like that's in us and makes us
want and all that it it
is guess what you don't do
mitz with the wings of an Angel and you
don't do
M with uh you know yipper at in over
your head you do MIT mes by going into
the hospital and not being able to join
a sheer and do surgery and save a soul
and save alive M my and every one of us
in the our way that's that's what it
says but I'd rather be in sure I'd
rather be yes I'd rather be with my
family hey fellow you have time for that
chabas yum during the week go out and
work cuz that's what hasem wants let's
continue as it
says portal
26 okay
that's our itself does not need TI if
you if we think that the soul is here
we're doing it a favor in in the pure
sense and
says
wrong the sh sh is pretty is okay it's
it's it's
good so why does it have to come here if
the is all good Let It bask in your
Radiance why did you send it down
here it's to draw down light through
fixing the body in the world so then you
draw down an energy that Vis A doing the
tick of the world in itself
Lo it doesn't need TI The Tick is needed
by the world and
your so says he get down there help the
person be m in the
world says this concept is a dma is an
example is similar to why The Godly
Sparks were put into Gus they're after
all of they're they're Godly Sparks
Godly Sparks mean they come from God if
they come from God they're good they're
good why do you have to send them into
this mess why they're Godly Sparks and
the answer is this is the secret of GS
The Secret of Gus is that we need to
extract the Sparks from the
gmas yeah so you got you go back to
America and you happen to be in your
hometown and you walk the streets of
Westwood of Evon of any University that
you went to a Princeton whatever
wherever you went to and over there you
think TAA you've extracted a spark
that's in the street of Princeton Evon
UCLA or wherever else you hung out when
you were 15 when you're 17 18 1920
and it's been 30 40 years and when you
think TA in your head walking on those
same cobblestones and side walk you've
extracted a spark that's what Hashem
wants that's what yes yes
yes I wanted to say a quick story that
um uh mha sambar was the brother
of and he he made his living as a
pedler and so one time he asked his
brother the rebel why why U when he goes
out and he D when he's on the road and
he's in the
fields his daving is so much better than
it is a sure and uh so um reie answered
said because uh the the holy Sparks that
are in all those places have been
waiting for how long for a je to come to
attach themselves
to that's that's the idea that's the
idea let's
continue says with this idea we will
understand an amazing idea
that raved about means raved
about adds the the words not only they
Rave about but very much
so about the virtue of giving
let's see
what giving is equivalent to
all this is a famous quote that that the
AL quotes that's always repeated and in
the entire Jerusalem
tal when you learn Jerusalem tal and you
see in in the gar there the mitzvah says
the bat that it refers to the specific
Mitzvah
of because so it was the accustom
language to
call not by the name but by the name
mitvah did you do a Mitzvah
today according to in in youri terms it
means that you give SED to today so the
question is why why why does Seda get
the the virtue of being called
mitz
right it reminds me once a uh a good
litvak said to me we had a conversation
he said to me why do you the batur call
rebba it means there are many
rebas he says I'm against that
there's this rabba is that rabba like
and I said to him huh you really like
all rbas you just have an issue with
laab just calling St re is re as there's
no other rebers uhhuh but you you're
you're ready to go to the Carina and to
the Buster and to the S right when the
last time you showed up fella you know
get C you know but the point is there is
there is truth there is truth at least
in the false world
re on the internet means the re it's
become that way whether we like it or we
don't so in thei in
thei the the mitah is called MIT so
that's
a that's wow we don't have to even say
which re we don't have to say which
Mitzvah we know it means to doubt but
wants to know why is that and he says
the
following
because
the is the the end all of all MIT
Mitzvah of deed SED is demonstrative of
MIT and it it's it's over the it it goes
over the top over all the
others because all mitzvah what's the
purpose of a Mitzvah to elevate your
animal drive to
God for it is what fulfills the
thez and it's the animal drive that
invest itself in
the to incorporate itself in
God there is no other mitah other than
the midst of s where there's so much of
the animal of the vivifying animal Drive
in
a right when you put on your arm at that
moment is putting
on when you
give you earned work you earned that
means to earn a to earn money you you
went to school you studied you learned
you got a degree you got a profession or
or you went to Yesa right so in other
words and then from that you make you
have a job and you make parosa and now
you take from the parosa the money you
made and you give it away the S so in
that one giving OFA all of you for all
the years that you've invested is
expressed in that dollar and that water
that you give to that that you give
to so it's the only mitvah the balat
says here that is all inclusive of all
Mitzvah and that's why it's called
Mitzvah
CH fasting all it's all individual
mitv fasting has nothing to do with what
you did 30 years ago in
school right but giving TOA is a
compilation of all the hard work that
you did all your life that's what he
says that person gives from his hard
work all of his animal all of his
verifying Drive is invested in the
work or another type of
job making him earn this
money his
entire ascends
to the
anemy okay wait a minute what about
someone who doesn't benefit from
your so you're telling me that through
my it elevates all of me but what if
someone doesn't
benefits
the potential is there the fact that one
person gets your T and the other person
doesn't means that the potential is
within Thea to to vivify and energize
and help every person that's also a big
a big KES in this chapter that the AL
says that the the MIT
of elevates all the person at all
times even when the Seda doesn't reach a
certain person or a certain project but
the fact is that that the Seda has that
potential so in other words we have to
look at the object not at the receiver
of the
object we go on out to page top
ofest say specifically regarding giving
that it Hast the Redemption why why
doesn't fill and hasten the
Redemption because through one act of
you elevate much of the vivifying
Soul you wouldn't be able to reach as
much of
the through doing other mitz as you do
through so that's why Gula GAA what's
Gula what's Redemption the collective
Redemption of the Jewish people and all
the Divine
Sparks with Hashem that
means hello please mute
yourself oh
me I thought I heard a drone
anyway sorry joke anyway um the
the S one act of s
elevates the the the entire person and
the entire world because it incorporates
everything what's G the same idea
everyone and everything will be reunited
with Hashem so that's why kazal say
specifically about the MIT of not not
fastinger
but
so here to what we see from this idea
that the AL brings is is all
inclusive if you if we argue that g is
only for the ones with big pis or the
ones with k rugus or the ones only
fighting in the war I'm sorry that's not
Gula it's important but it's not
Gula Gula means that every single Jew
and every single spark world over
recognize and says through one act of
and that's why
the mitvah the plain Mitzvah without
identifying that s elevates the entire
person it's all of you it's all
inclusive and so this is a another maybe
new insight for us to think about the
importance of giving to duck it's not
just you know someone asks they need
help and all that the point is that the
ACT is is is is is demonstrative of G of
in in inclusivity of all people and all
things at one time let's
continue now asks a rhetorical
question hey he says wait a second we
have AAL that say the study of is
equivalent to everything so what am I
making this big deal
about this is now his
retort is using your mouth and your
thought they are considered the inner
garments of the
soul and also the essence of the soul
is has is incorporated
when you
stud
intellectually although it's very nice
we can study T but it doesn't change
yourid we know that the average person
the B who this Tanya was written for the
average person his his his or and her uh
mid are not
transformed to the point where there's
no urges that's a not
a refes
that very important line that's because
MOS are much more powerful than the
intellect
of
why and that's because
paba the mid tap in to the highest
energy intellect is flut and to it's
very nice and it's very great and your
achievements and you're you know and
Professor this and right but it's only
flut and to Mid when you're a
bid you're a mench and you have refined
character you touch the essence
so
says because it's such a difficult task
the ban is not charged with
transformation of the
mid right and we're not talking here
about I don't want you to walk away with
those if so you could be a a jerk excuse
me no can't you shouldn't be a jerk you
should be a
mench but to
expect transformation of
mid that that's that's a wrong
expectation and people make this
mistake the anger the impatience the U
that's our reality and guess what it's
our reality till we return our souls to
Hashem as long as we maintain it and as
we control it and we improve it that's
what Hashem wants from us so the AL says
here don't you're asking me a question
seemingly
learning t with the mind is
Con right is equal to all Mitzvah so why
not just learn why not why why I'm
saying why take time to invest ourselves
in the act of Mitzvah not everyone has
to do a Mitzvah but to emphasize
Mitzvah what's the answer the answer is
the answer is that that to begin with
the the result of Mitzvah if you're if
you're if you're looking for
transformation you're on the wrong
you're on the wrong
path you're not a sadic when you learn
but but when you learn with your
SE says like we're doing in our we're
learning we're trying to understand
right what happens is our words and our
mind which is at the end of the day
still right right that comes from that
soul that verifies us right gets a
transformation so this is this is the
this is the bottom line from this piece
of T that with and this is why it's
a that even
by the the of a can have a
transformation the mid cannot have a
transformation but the SE can have a
transformation and that ties in with
today is the's yard site and his
birthday the second Reb tomorrow is
we don't
say so those that you know that want
to say you're tomorrow like I said three
days three days a year you can say
you're tomorrow
and those three days we don't
say everyone agrees there's no
disagreement because it
says right so so if you want to put on
theab hat for three days and really mean
it what's theot theot is that the the
the ethos of kabad that the Mind should
also go along by understanding
God that in that you have
Choice that's where Einstein and and and
laav Aristotle and and all the
intellects there they score points in
that level to to to to I don't want to
use the word radicalize to transform
better the the the mind to
God can't
transform so therefore if you if you
learn and you learn and learn you D you
D and you still have a tithe and you say
what's my learning with what's my doing
worth I'm still a beher duh like oh you
really expected not to be a beher
uhhuh just you're a beher but tame your
beh control your Bahamas that you could
do and how through the cup through
learning through thinking
it's no good to be addicted it's no good
alcohol Etc it ruins you it hurts you
you know you don't need it it's just a
wasted experience and you have so much
to offer and you have such a wonderful
mind let's see how we could take your
wonderful mind and and make the world a
better
place so there is the ability of
transformation in the kabad and that's
what he says here
so that's another very revolutionary
thought that the balatan positions here
in chapter
37 that for the average person
transformation of mid is not possible
but transformation of SE is
possible stay safe and let's hope we'll
have good news and better news and will
see everyone tomorrow take care amen
byebye take care
great
