today we're holding on page
uh 75
i believe let me see yeah
yesterday's year some of you were in
here if you it's on youtube
so uh or on my or on my website i think
rabbi dolphin.com you could pick it up
there too i believe
it was a very important share because
the previous rabbit rabbi
really gave us a wonderful muscle how to
how to deal with a problem he goes into
details
and each step is is so important
so you know we're always looking to
improve ourselves
and uh first to prove ourselves and to
improve others
and that really uh delineates in
in in short but very cons
very uh telling steps
what needs to be done and uh if we
follow this
course of action this prescription will
be better off so take a look at it
learn it when you have a chance let's do
the kids are in the bottom of 75.
[Music]
to the student
[Music]
washi no wavering firm
two bays the mishpo says
coming from a perspective
of love and concern
it must be predicated on that because if
the firmness
comes from anger frustration
and everything else it won't have a good
result
and mind you this really i mean you know
i'm sure we've all seen it this really
is why most people
don't accept someone else's criticism
it's because they sense in them a
frustration
and just take an example someone's in
shul
and someone tells something to someone
else
you could tell and the person who's kind
of giving the muslim
that he's frustrated it's bothered is
angered that's not
that's not gonna that's not going to get
the desired result
if you come to a person with love and
concern
it will be all different i i remind
myself now of a little incident that i
heard about with my father-in-law in
770.
a gentleman came in and he had many
children
many young children and the children
were rambunctious and running around and
making noise and disturbing the minion
and some people around were very upset
and they said shoot out take him out you
know made a big
ruckus and
the the father was embarrassed and and
my father-in-law went over to him and to
the other people
and he said maybe he's here with us it
was in the morning
it was in the morning i think was during
the weekday not a shabbos i don't recall
but he said to them to the people he
said
maybe he's here because his wife needs
to rest she's not well
and there's a situation at home and he
had to take the children out
and all of a sudden they all piped down
they all quieted down me you know
not that noise not that noise and and
is acceptable but there's a way there's
no way
to deal with issues and if you want
the if you want the recipients
to hear it and then to act on it and
make a change
they must know that you the mashpeah the
teacher the parent
is giving this musser this instruction
from a perspective of us that ever says
in base pizza is
a framework of love and thoughtfulness
and then it will be it will be accepted
and if it's not accepted
so be it you're not hashem
and you're not uh you know the the
center of attention
all you are is a conduit and as a
conduit
you do your best you offer advice
you say i think this should be the
approach and then you let the chips fall
when they fall and if we have that
attitude
and it's hard you know when you're in
middle of of the situation
and and the blood is flowing you know
and and the pressure and
what are people going to say and what's
going to happen you get all
factual and all cuckoo
and you lose yourself and lucky is the
person who is able to
to to become in in such a situation
that's a that's that's it's not easy
it's not easy and
one that can do that really deserves a
lot of credit
so that ever says here that you teacher
you educator you want to show your
student take advice
number one firmness
okay but if in your firmness is
your ego your anger your frustration
that's it's not that firmness is not
what i'm talking about
i'm talking about a firmness and an
unwaveriness that comes by mishpocha's
from a perspective and predicated on
love and thoughtfulness
let's so that's the that was that this
is a summary of what we learned
yesterday in the in the chapter let's go
to 75 now
tonight he's still on these
conditions prerequisites regarding the
matsav
this is all each of these tanoyim
is part of the massage the situation
evaluating properly the situation
of the student so tonight the sixth
tonight the sixth prerequisite
the prioritization
in educational and uh approaches you
know and methods let's see
man by nature is a sickly
that makes us different than an animal
we're an intellect
that's the primary difference between
the living and the speaking
domains and kingdoms
and the advantage to man over an animal
he is sickly
is that he is a sickly he is an
intellect
the whole myself with the buddha and all
of his actions and his speech and his
speech and his talk
and even his conduct of character of
emotions
to love and to hate the fire
to beautify to praise and to be enduring
leave kabatoya to choose good verna and
beautiful
dilemmas and to despise
evil and disgust vulgar
all of it who are
[Music]
so he introduces now i mean we spoke a
little bit about it earlier but now
looks like he's going to make a bigger
point about it
willpower it's kayak it's power
it's my strength the talk when it's
might might
but coyle machola dominates every
situation
so in other words when you access
ruts and willpower willpower will
over take even
cycle and he goes on to explain let's
see how he explains it
there are four different divisions in
man's powers
of al-nafi younis in addition hillel
to the vivifying soul
that enlivens the limbs of the body
us on to do their to impact them to to
do their job
the idea the five senses seeing smear
hearing hillary walking bishops
touching vader i'm sorry not the five
senses
but these different activities the heim
and they are ain't pleasure and will
base wisdom understanding and knowledge
emotions abba sinner love
hatred boasting thankfulness
acknowledgement it's endurance valdeman
similar
four the tools for the the clay race
we
within two general categories aleph
marekhasap internal
into one category we we call
internal or number two based on
encompassing so these two things
are um let's look at the note 58 for a
moment just
it's a good good note to learn maki from
the hebrew
though hasidis makes one of the one of
the terms
machiav uses one of the biblical
encompassing
to describe a certain category of soul
powers
it is not to be understood in a physical
spatial
sense that these soul powers somehow
surround the person rather in a
figurative
sense as the text proceeds to describe
only the first group of soul powers are
encompassing the other three categories
are considered internal and he's going
to explain so let me just uh
stop for a second so what he's saying
here is the following
since he mentioned that a human being is
a sickly
okay get those words a human being is a
sickly
nevertheless there is something called
the rothsand willpower
so from there he went on to say that to
give us
the the background of of that by
by dividing them into four categories
pleasure and will which he calls makif
surrounding
okay not internal but superficial
meaning to say they don't take into
consideration
the situation on ground they're coming
from where they're coming from and they
bulldoze our mind and our heart
you hear that i'm using a very
interesting expression i think a
bulldozer
cycle and roxanna bulldozers and compare
in comparison
to say i'm sorry russian and einek
will and pleasure a bulldozer
aspects of man that don't consider
seijo amidos in other words you could
understand a certain way and if your
willpower is otherwise you're going to
do it differently
and then when you argue but it doesn't
make any sense i don't care
that's the virtue that's the makeup of
wrestling of willpower
and the same is pleasure a person
derives pleasure from a certain thing
argue with them from today to tomorrow
and you won't win
why because they get pleasure from it so
again the power of pleasure
is a bulldozer power we call that in
hebrew
yes yes is
is that what russia is referring to when
it talks about when it says the power of
heart in his heart
oh you mean that well that yes and no
you you're you're asking whether that's
paro's willpower is that what you're
asking
no not really i mean that was uh like uh
an injection of of god's desire at the
time
that he'd be uh a stubborn mule
that i think the rambam even says it
it wasn't coming you know it was um
because it didn't make any sense
at you know to do what he was doing
because it was just going to lead to a
catastrophe and and his downfall
and nevertheless he heart it says
clearly in the theater hashem
hardened his heart so his hardening of
his heart
i believe he explained in the sword and
nakadashim the holy sweat and
it was an outside force that kind of
grabbed you know got a hold of para and
said you're now a vessel
for evil i'm not talking about that
no but remember you mentioned i remember
i don't know maybe a few years ago even
in this year you said
that it comes to a certain point when we
surrender
our free world a free will to the eight
sahara
and then we we were like mamash like
sucked in
like i remember we talked about this
many years ago i don't remember which
safer it was
okay okay okay okay
so
[Music]
so what do you what does that mean but
what are you trying to say that paro
surrendered his free will to the to the
yates of hurricanes
yeah that's i mean that's just what i i
i don't know i i
you know it could be different in the
first frame and different for
you know jewish writings have a
different different views
on the hardening of paris heart um
what comes to me is that it was some it
was it was an exception
to a situation and it wasn't one's own
ruxin one's own will willpower that
took control but rather hashem at that
time
hardened his heart so it it's like a
force went into him
do you follow what i'm saying what
you're what you're alluding to
is man surrendering that's already uh
a humility on his part he's surrendering
it to evil but he's surrendering his
is his his seychelles and his middle is
to to
will surrendering is coming from your
perspective
as being refined here the terrorist says
hashem hardened this heart
but i hear your point it's a good point
and
you know i guess to look at the
commentators over there maybe
we'll open up more information so going
back to the text
are you with me hebrew or this is beyond
you you're following over here what
we're talking about
hillel yes i think so
okay so we have oh and watson
moshe
and we have a pleasure and will which
are making then we have
intelligence what just one question
omega are kind of grouped
because they're in
okay but it's two separate expressions
pleasure and will right by the way halo
since you asked
there's a a lot of pages of discussion
is my murder of 1906 the famous
hampshire called tophrasa
or as habakkuk would call it
referring to the year 1906 has an entire
discussion which is
greater which is higher which touch is
deeper in the person
will or pleasure and it's a battle and
it's a back and forth it's a fascinating
discussion
and uh so what's the mascara in the end
i think i think the moscone is only
pleasure
i think is even deep deeper than ruxin
and i i don't know how that would make
sense yeah that would make sense yeah
yeah
interesting okay i could probably make a
sense of it the other way too but
okay okay okay but i'm just saying if
you ever care to follow up but
just know that that's a that's a whole
discussion there anyway
oh we're on page 75. okay
okay so then we so we have einiger rocks
and moisture then we have
mind is a plea me you think about it you
understand that you internalize it
it makes sense i should do this and then
we have me this
yakov the emotions love fear hate
compassion boasting acknowledgement
whatever all the media is
it's also polymeous it's part of who you
are
right you you relate to it and then that
episode the fourth
category which aren't what we call
claire
fish powers of the soul they're what
without the rabbit in tanya calls in
chapter four
levus the garments of the soul
instruments how do you uh
what tool do you use to access
your mind and your heart either thought
speech or action all three
so we call that the levus so he mentions
all four
and then in the third paragraph here
that ebba says
we we we we divide these two into two
another two general categories which are
marek
zapnim
right that's what he says encompassing
let's go on
these two categories umizoo are very
different
i hope you're good you guys are good
with math in four different
ideas okay so we got
two general categories which consists of
the the one category of of market it
consists of
uh oinning eruption category two
polymers consists of the other three
and then he says and and within these
you have
details and he says
he's giving us a kind of a sound bite
of how to identify them so he says
where is avi avi was waiting to learn
hasidis he says where is the hasidis in
this country is right here
avi this is for you okay
they are specific particular powers
whereas the hamake
if someone asks you avi where is the
abode of will
of will all over
if someone asks you where is the abode
of intellect the cup
the brain so seijo
and me those where's the where's the
abode of the emotions the heart
have a specific location
right will the
the the the notion of will is equal
throughout the entire body
my hand wants and my foot wants
and my body wants but no one's going to
say
my hand understands that's ridiculous
your hand doesn't understand
your brain understands and transmits
that understanding to the movement of
the hand on the piano
yes but the hand doesn't understand
it's the cup that understands willpower
will to do
is all equal throughout that's what he
says
base hapnim
have specific limbs organs
that that that express what they are
like i just told you
conversely
they don't have specific limbs
to express them oh
i bought them and they and they and they
impact
they affect all limbs
the encompassing one and the internal
ones
top of page 77
although they are all rooted
in the soul they all come from the
nephesh
the hosa nevertheless
they differ yaakov how deep they're
rooted in the nephesh
the root canal experience is the
toothache just in the outer part of the
e
of the tooth or is it way down in the
root
whatever says that so we too
regarding these different soul powers
there's a difference
how deep they're rooted in the soul and
he explains
look what he says that the machipham are
actually rooted deeper
in the soul it doesn't explain and i
won't take a lot of time
the very fact that there can be a power
that's equal throughout the body is not
a downgrade but rather an upgrade that
means
it comes from a place of the soul that
has less divisions
and divisions are already a an
acceptance
divisions are based on on the trigger
that's calling them
so in other words he'll one second the
ic
because the vessel of the eye
the makeup of the eye calls for seeing
it doesn't call for hearing so the
energy in the eye
is is guided by and limited
by the eye where and the same is true
for hearing the same is true for
many other conscious premiums whereas
machiavellian since it's not
triggered by the vessel but it it is a
an offspring um a shy a reflection
of the soul russians and taino
are more reflections of the soul hence
it's deeper in the soul and that's why
it's not limited to a particular organ
it's all over
yes caleb i just
so it sounds like it's almost like a
mathematical ratio
that the uh when the more
indivisible something is in terms of its
origin
and in the shama um the less
uh the less the less vulnerable it is to
any anything that we can say
yes yes
you said it nicely yes i want to make
sure that
you have to understand this uh moisture
yaakov are you following this thought
because he doesn't really
yeah go ahead no i'll be honest i'm
following you to an extent i'm asking
myself what's
what's what's the rabbit trying to get
it okay that you have to wait
you got to cut
i guess uh you're not you're you're not
as interested as yaakov
right now this is
moshe it is explaining that
and we'll see soon how it's relevant but
first we have to understand
how how we operate okay yaakov are you
are you with us are you with us
i'm i'm having trouble with this um
the kurdish kitten
are
do do you understand what character what
do you think they are
yeah go ahead don't tell me yeah yeah
let me
explain talk the inner motivations
[Music]
inner motivations
go ahead give talk more an example
um
so our different senses are manifested
through
through our aquarium the countries that
lay
that are that are that are the the
peninus
is what allows that sense to to
uh function by the way we're not
it's not about senses it's about kaiser
it's talking about seiko
and middles intellect and emotions
are you calling psychologists now are
you calling it census
no i'm sorry no no i didn't mean that
right so we're talking we're not talking
about now senses we're talking about
seijo amidos are plymous
why seijo is in the mind in the brain
and meters are in the heart you agree
yes yes so
when cycle is used or when readers are
used
what triggers them
what triggers them the the the place the
abode their location
the brain says use cycle so how much
cycle can you use
as much as the brain can handle
right now take take ruxin will
will is not triggered
by any one particular place because it
doesn't have one particular place
it's equal throughout the entire body so
where what is triggering will the soul
the nephesh
the souls decides i want a will now i
want to
i want now so if
the soul is um reflecting itself
through will and since the soul
has no one abode like like hillary said
it's indivisible
he used the good word sacral and middles
already are divisible
so it's the visibility if there is such
an english word
you know guides it and limits it at the
same time
whereas will and pleasure
they are an expression of nephesh of
soul therefore they're indivisible
and therefore they're equal throughout
you're innocent
you're innocent you learned this do you
have any better way of explaining this
you learned this in hasidis many times i
want to hear from you
okay
that the machine
or surrounding powers
they are equally all over
you can experience wrestling and try to
look in the hands
and in the arm they don't have a
particular
place where they live the
or the the iron and the inner
the physical up for the eye
is it conducive to the power of skin
the idea is physical makeup
is to draw the spiritual power of
hearing
so therefore the power of the power
of seeing can only go into the eye
and the power of hearing can only go
into the air however
because because because
because well and
and kind of don't have
a place i could go
equally please help absolutely
i'm in the chair hello hi
hillary abuse yourself yes
okay so i i heard i hear you your
innocent thank you that's
that's what i was saying and i see you
you you
and and that and that he will beauty
guys mute yourself
hello
[Music]
we heard everything oh i'm so sorry
okay okay
yes it was clear i mean to me it was
clear
i hope it was clear to them and the
point that that ever added and why i
started to explain was
because the rebels adds here that
they're they're mushroosh
they're they're rooted deeper in the
nephesh
okay let's continue let's continue
um dalit for a fourth difference
the impact of the quakers premium of the
inner
powers to a certain extent
who ben i am over cadef is sweet
and close when you understand something
and when you relate to it you like it
it's sweet and it's close
he says
their impact is a bulldozer dominion
i'm the boss you don't like it out
i need right now some pleasure and will
immediately
even although they both are from the
category of machiavelli
he says they themselves are different
one than the other
um
and ever since my intent here he's i
guess there ever heard what moshe was
saying
my intent here is not to explain in
detail
what these powers are awesome their
impact with
them and their and their difference
[Music]
because it's necessary for what we're
trying to explain here regarding an
educator in education
therefore the brevity will is adequate
this name is
bishney pisgov with two general
um sayings expressions
these two sayings are demonstrative
of what the the details of pleasure and
will are and what are they
aleph quote
there's nothing there's no soul power
that's higher than pleasure
and number two
there's nothing that stands in the way
of will of rotssen
says another way of expressing the
second point
there's nothing that stands before will.
these two short brief um sayings
expressions
mabillion butter they express clearly
as i have though the difference between
ain't ignorating
pleasure and will be your name protein
in all of their detailed details nice
in addition to them being two general
powers for who
and that is now those now he's
explaining here in the last period of
the difference
briefly of pleasure and will and what is
that
[Music]
pleasure pleasure
um is elevated over all hainu suggest
it's the first manifestation of the soul
although it's only a soul power but it's
the first
soul power whereas in the willpower
he needs
the primary aspect of will is
forcefulness
of i'm sorry if it ain't over and
there's nothing
not soul powers and not the limbs of the
body
should you connect it that can stand and
it's a way and like i use the word
it's a bulldozer so the virtue let me
just repeat briefly
the virtue of willpower is that it's
a bulldozer nothing can stand in us away
and the virtue of i think is it's the
highest the greatest pleasure in other
words
pleasure yelling is not it
it's it doesn't the expression that
pleasure is a bulldozer
that i said earlier this year when i
coupled it together with will
is not the the most correct expression
the virtue
of of pleasure is it's
the highest the refinest the best
pleasure
that's what he says look at look at the
aleph
there's nothing higher than onyx
so it would seem like he's saying that
um one egg is like the deepest faculty
of the souls
yes yes that's like that
the tissue the spiritual tissue of the
soul yes
yes hillel he is saying that yeah and by
the way it's a quote 63 say for yet zero
that's a quote from safety of zero okay
um
yes and uh you know that's a that's an
idea that we don't hear
enough of that that's you know that
that's the fundamental nature
our fundamental nature is only the light
is joy it's about
well and uh would you say would you say
that
um it seems to me that one is passive
like receptive
and razzo is active or dynamic yes so is
the implication of the
them being the two might be finished
that they have like a
uh rats of a shove or mash piano kind of
relationship
you mean between each other between each
other
or they're just two separate forces that
happen to be my people
i i i i i have to think and study that
it's it's a very good question and i
think the rashaba
i think the rashaab in that 1906 my
muram
i think he deals with your question
that's why
it's a fascinating study and insight but
um but
you you brought it out very nicely what
is the relationship between eine
anderson yes yes
um when they see me up
i think and uh
unless one is to say yes i did so
in the crown in the clown the motivation
power
that the king has to get pleasure
from seeing his his chances
people being bothered with him
but in order to achieve that he needs
wrestle
he had to exercise over the people
to show that he's king so so
yeah so you're saying the russo is
deeper in the nephesh than in it
no no no no no no rifle is a two
for four timer uh-huh by the way
uh i believe in ace in uh in
in the hammer uh uh rabbi
the shoe we stabbed the clay low i don't
know if this farm is still there but
i believe we had a safer that i brought
there in english called
ten keys to understanding it was from
rabbi
matus cantor it's phenomenal
on these things and i know robert cantor
he's
very bright a gifted person and he has a
very good
psychological understanding if you can
get a hold of this book
you'll thank me ten keys to
understanding
he goes through all the in psychological
terms
and then i think he talks about oy
negaratsum i
i don't have it here i i had once i
bought copies you know
but i don't know where they are right
now so but if you if the school is open
go in and check if it's there and you
could you know
um maybe it's online too maybe at the
hebrews books or chabad or something
okay everyone i have another sheers eye
dessert we'll see everyone
tomorrow take care thank you bye
