holding down page meid turn off your um mute yourself please and we're uh about seven lines from the bottom where it says after the period no sorry sorry sorry oh way way before first we're going to learn the mus the mus is it's seven lines from the top from the beginning of me me page me the the word the first word on the line is who let's continue to understand this concept that the primary issue is is is is is M's action even greater than love and fear for God as we'll explain soon later the AL brings a a a quote from the Yuka in the zes there's a famous Yuka by the way the Yuka is the son of Sab it was a sage named Sab and his son is referred to as so it says say the verse quote the wise person his eyes is in his head now so asks where else is the person's eyes of course they're in the head so what's the saying of course answers in other words this is the meaning in the verse surely we learned the Z says a person should not walk a ye should not walk four Cupids with without a covering on his head which by the way is one of the sources for or the source for not walking four cubits without a y keep my but why what's the reason rests on a person's head and every wise person his eyes and his speech speech his mouth is in his head they are in his in they are in his head and and that's how rest on the head and when and when the the the the eyes of Express the light of the that's of the that's it's like similar to a candle and to a wick and oil you need to have oil in order for a candle he brings a mus in the in order for a candle a wick to be to light to catch on fire it needs oil and without the oil the Fire doesn't hop does it's not it's not doesn't isn't become part of the wick it doesn't catch on fire says the says says the begin so to the the body of a person that's analogous to the wick and light is lit on the body on the Goof that means the the the Nish is lit in the Goof because the Goof is the receptacle in the vessel to hold the light of the King Solomon he shouted like and he said there's another says oil on your head do not diminish in other words if you don't have oil the the wick won't catch on fire you must have oil the because the light that's on the head requires oil en and what is oil what is the the moral the nimal of the oil says the this is all part of the same these are good deeds and this is what the verse means that the wise person his eyes are on his head I'm going to explain now this this section of Z because it's very important Z is saying like this just as why can't a wick catch on fire without oil you know why you know why cuz it's too thick the oil makes it possible for the wick to catch on fire better so in other words what we see is that in order for the so so to in the in the moral in order for the to be on a person that should be revealed in a Jew the person's body their goof needs to be refined how is the Goof refined says the zes not through loving and fearing God but through through Good Deeds like mosha said yesterday and he supported it an right action now why you would think that the the soul is Holy enough MOA it's holy enough to be the receptacle for God to be on the person and we say and Z doesn't say that the zya says it needs the the soul needs to do good deeds and if it doesn't do Good Deeds even though it's and the CH is not resting Al that's a that's a a phenomenal piece of Z and it's a perplexing one and the alter is tackling it here in Tanya because he's he's he seeks to explain the virtue of M over a and this is a fundamental chapter in Tanya is to explain this idea all the shaking and all the love and all the fear of the pales in comparison to one time putting on the story there was a Mas there was a a and a very big H his name was oh my gosh my memory is really the the palova it was called the ra of palova morz was his name and he was he was a Rob palto and he was ausa for a while of the re rashab so you can imagine what kind of great mind and person he was and I heard from someone who remembered him when he would come to the rashab so this is a real story at the end of his life the doctors told him shortly you're you're going to pass away you know whatever he was very ill so he asked them this is the way the story goes so don't ask me you know questions CU I don't have all the answers how what when I'm just repeating I know we have a doctor here so I have to I have to make that preface cuz you're going to hear it and it doesn't sound so medically no cases and mes yeah no cases and mes so this is the story so they he asked what what you know why am I so sick you know what what happened over here so they said 30 years the last 30 years you haven't been eating properly because of your avod of esaf of holding your back from from thus of food whatever and you can imagine how much food they had then but whatever it is you were very much into the aod of scfa and you didn't sleep on a normal bed again what's a normal bed so you know whatever it was in Russia in 1900 1910 whatever it was and you you hurt your body you your scafa that you did to develop more love and offer hasem and that should be your only focus and not gmas right hurt you the as it hurt you and you became very and you're very sick you know from not eating and sleeping and and everything else properly and when he heard that said said if I knew that my 30 years of aafia would make me pass on so that the next day I couldn't put on Fillin I wouldn't do it because one day putting on filling is worth more than 30 years is cfia I mean it's it's a tremendous insight into the and approach and this is what says here in all the all the A and it's you're talking real a real offer hasem it PS in comparison to one time putting on that's what the Z says now of course when heard the story that I just told you they said who is the type of Jew that can make such a statement and mean it only someone who dies because he did 30 years of aafia otherwise they're a bluffer they don't really feel the value of putting on F in one more day but that's a a sidebar for a fa brain you know that's like you know do I really mean it or do I not really mean it but but in the the house relevant I'm sharing that story because we're learning here in so now the is going to explain it let's go further to explain this that the light of the has been compared to the light of a candle which doesn't catch on fire to the wick unless you have oil without oil so to the [Music] moral will not dwell on the body of a person the body of the person which is could be compared to the wick spells it out only specifically through doing good deeds and the the next words and it's not adequate enough to tell me that you you have a and your your is on a high for with love and fear and this why is not not adequate in other words why must I have oil isert that's the question why can't the why can't the wick catch on fire directly from the fire without the oil [Music] because the the the Goof is like the the oil to the wick everyone who can understand you know why it is when he says here a heavy heavy line the soul of a person and even the soul of a complete sadic I who serves God with all and love with a love of delights and pleasure he gets delight and pleasure from serving God nevertheless it's not completely an its existence is not an to be absorbed and included top of page 88 in the one in the light of God in actuality to become United and one with complete Unity rather it remains separate fearing God and loving God here has wiped away the TR the classical understanding of a sadic loving and fearing God the AL says if it all comes from the of the person in the eye of the person at through the Nish there's still not complete Unity there is love for God there's fear for God but it's coming from a it's coming from an existence it's an existence that loves and fears God such a you know you tell this to any Ben like they'll they'll flip out I mean what what do you mean he's aad he's a god he's a r he loves God he fears God what is making a distinction here and says yes he has love for God and he has fear for God but there is a he who has the love and fear for God there is some that's not completely nullified to Hashem and you know why because the soul is already defined you hear this the has a definition its Abode is God its comfort zone is God therefore the Nish is already limited so if you're telling me if you're telling me that the the love and fear of Hashem even by aad comes from the show perspective it's very nice and very special and Hali we should have that but at the end of the day that's not what Hashem wants Hashem wants something greater put F on one time put on a muza go visit someone that act is totally selfless so if Tak listen to this if Tak you putting on film because I'm going to say you want to help the soldiers that's like the N it's very good but it's not the ultimate you don't put fil on because you want to help the soldiers you put F on because that's God's will finished the fact that it'll help the soldiers Hali orain yes but that's not why you put fillan on that's not why you go and help a Jew and and and and and the difference is a very slight difference but in philosophy in ideology it's a major difference it's the the difference between what being one with God or not being one with God but being an adjunct to God and again I say we would be an adjunct to God but the is he wants to bring out to us why the says that good deeds is the is analogous to the oil that makes the life come in other words the will not be sh the will not rest only because of the that's what we just learned now it's a very very uh important n what time is it now I don't have a watch 312 okay another few minutes 312 okay thank you contrary conversely are MIT good we're talking about doing good deeds that are God's Will and hashem's will is the source of life for all worlds and All Creatures God descends upon them through many constrictions and concealment of the continent of God's will God's will and God descends levels until he's able to create to create yes something that's created that seems to be totally separate from God and they won't be aned in their existence to goding conversely which are the will of God in the inner will of God has upon Him CL and there is no concealment of God's countenance the Vitality within them is not a separate existence on its own rather it's United becomes one so the AL basically in this section makes a difference and says what's the difference between Good Deeds mitzvas it's not a good translation but I'm saying a good deed that's also a Mitzvah versus the creation of the world which is God's will says yes but the creation of the world comes through Tsum contractions restrictions so the light is not clear it's like covered and covered it becomes more and more the energy of a God but in mitzvah as we learned in chapter 23 T the is the Mitzvah the Mitzvah itself the itself this is what Hashem wants it's the highest form of godliness is the Mitzvah because the commander gave us a commandment yes it's actually very close to what we just learned this morning the end of end of letter 29 right right right okay we'll stop here and tomorrow we'll continue have a great day everyone be safe and I'm and we're gonna beat this negativity and with take care okay thanks
