page 42 chapter 16.
so
this chapter in a way culminates
doublet's theses
of what abandon me is
and we're obeying the ears and what's
obeying this job
he began chapter 12 and 13.
there he discussed what the essence of
obeying in the Years chapter 14 the uh
how it's relevant how it's possible for
everyone to be a banana
in chapter 15 was the content of the
avoid of abandoning which in one word is
Avada
right that was the word that the outlet
used the struggle the challenge
and he brought he brought the verse
and he explained that this is not this
person is not talking about it Sadiq as
its simple interpretation it's talking
about abandoning
someone and there's two two levels in
abandoning there is the banyani who is
an avid
hello Kim he works he struggles
he works with Elohim with nature and he
finds God in nature and then there is a
type of abandon me that is abandon me
but loyal father
it's natural to him the box and the
bottom line is that he doesn't sin in
thought speech and action
but how does that come to him because as
we say in Yiddish it is
refined he's born
refined
and that's the outer that gave us the
example it doesn't turn them on this
doesn't turn them on that turn the money
doesn't turn them on Honor doesn't turn
them on women doesn't turn them on
Pleasures don't turn them on
it's meaningless
but that's not that's not the thing in
the the ultimate banana
the ultimate pain in the is that these
things should turn you on and you
struggling you fight and you overcome
that's the ultimate being in me
so now in chapter 15 16 on page 42 Delta
remember ads two more
very important aspects to the beginning
and the so important that the alternator
calls them Cloud Google
Cloud Google means a very important rule
do you have remember
another place where it says cloud godo
come on
you're learning and Diving every day
what
Robbie Akiva that's right I bet you if I
had your kids your grandkids they would
know because it's one of the twelve
second of the river instituted
is that cloud Global if you have to
learn
uses here look at the first words of
Peter kazayan
when you use the words Cloud girdle
means hey I'm I'm I'm telling you
something now very heavy very serious
very important
and he didn't use this until now so we
need to understand in a moment as we
learn what is the addition of this Cloud
goggle and he uses it twice on this page
it's very very unusual for him to employ
these words but he does so let's see
first what he says and then we'll
explain Panic design here we go
Hashem and this is a very important rule
in the service of Hashem
for those that are baby name I.E for
every single Yeet who can potentially be
obeying a knee
and what is it here it is
the primary thing is for you to focus on
and implement limshul villagelight
it is for you to control to dominate
over over the nature of your left
ventricle meaning
the nature
that's here in a nutshell he tells you
right here what is the theme of the
banana knee if the person dominates and
controls their name the nature of the
year and the nephew my nature is that I
enjoy overeating eating
and not forget about overeating eating
you have to break that habit that nature
you have you need to eat but you need to
eat little shame
I enjoy sleeping I enjoy at least
wasting time whatever it is
and like we learned in panicked as well
even if I enjoy learning
and davening
if it's natural
if you don't break that habit you're not
abating me I mean that's uh I've said it
over and over because it's such a in a
way outrageous statement then but at the
same time it's a phenomenal statement
it's it's down to them it's insight
insight into human psyche
you're nothing special if you sit and
learn day and night because that's all
you know what to do and that's all you
want to do
thank you very much
you know
you are special if you learn an extra
minute
and you don't want to learn an extra
minute you want to close your garage
already I already finished I want to run
to eat I want to run to play I want to
run to watch the sports whatever
and you say no
I'm gonna break my habit
that's
special again
now the question is how do we how am I
able to do that
says
Hashem through the light of God how male
will never shall it is
which illuminates The Godly Soul
that's within your mind literally to
dominate over the heart
whenever when you will meditate within
your mind you you'll contemplate
Ula saintsov the greatness of the
infinite God
is Hashem this meditation reflection
will give birth
to a spirit of knowledge and having all
for God in your mind
to prevent yourself from doing things
that are against Hashem
biblical prohibitions and rabbinic ones
and even
light prohibitions enacted by the rabbis
by the Shalom to violate them so you
through your meditation you come to a
place of year
it doesn't mean they're gonna spank you
I mean
that too but year a means
reverence
yeah how can I do this I'm violating
God's command I want to be with Hashem
Hashem is so awesome he creates the
world and everything else and she was we
just read about the terror and many of
the shoes I'm sure Karl Bach and as cold
as they do the abdomos
Shabbat we don't do abdomas and if you
read the abdomas in the translation
it's awesome I once went here in Boro
Park to the Kosovo Rebel they called the
cost of a rebel division of vision it's
and the man and they set up dumbest he
led abdomus and I pretty much had to run
out of shoe I mean he was crying and
throwing himself around and making with
his hands like the house was coming down
and he was serious I'm not saying this
that that I'm really you know making fun
of him and it just it was it was it was
Heavy it was real heavy
yeah
yeah no no I I I I I Johnny I didn't go
there I went there to observe
I'm an observer
I study and look and learn from other
people
and my minute is not to say it but it
was it was an opportunity
Weinberger the grandson of the salon of
my dad but my friend here Borough Park
urged me says go there one time you'll
have something you've never seen and he
was right
I never saw such a thing
so there are people I'm just saying
there are people again he did it in what
we call the hagas way in a very
emotional way the shaking I mean the
body was shaking and he was jumping and
he was screaming and he was crying it
was like wow you know so it was very
emotional it was very non-jabbar you
know quiet meditation thoughtfulness
but but it was real it was real it was
real
I felt he was real he was genuine
it's not my style but so what who cares
he's not even Hashem
so there is the yira sashem
throughout Tanya and as you all know he
proposes a different
approach to accomplish the same thing
the the his abundance within the mayak
and that that it that doesn't come like
a seti over and over from just partying
and wasting time that comes from
meditation and reflection and and and
and thoughtfulness you know we come into
us
and it's this one or two day jump div
and we don't have any we don't have to
have matzah we don't have to be careful
how much and we don't have to have uh a
little Vanessa with a towel is falling
up and over our head and just going this
way and it's about a gun and then
there's a shyness and I can't hold my
sinner in my little over my estrad right
eat your cheesecake buy some flowers
stay up at night as much as you can go
to the mix in the morning and you got it
you got it all done
the truth is she was just the hardest
youngsters because we don't have those
objects to identify with we have to
create the relationship it's much harder
Dr Evans
is harder
there's no question that it's harder
than jumping around and dancing around
or screaming
shout and scream
that's their invited they don't
emphasize the serious learning of
Citizen meditation and everything else
that's not there Mahala
so regardless but what I'm saying is
that the idea of yes
here then he says
let's continue
believe through the meditation not only
do you create a year for God but a love
don't think it's only about yet you will
create moisha a love
which corresponds to all
so what is the cloud government
and the rep explained this once the
altarap is cloud God was the following
which is more important the focus on the
oven the era
that brings you to a place where you're
able to control yourself
or the or the primary focuses of debate
any mindset
the control
the cloud goggle the Great rule that is
sharing with everyone is that that
although what what leads you to this is
the meditation that's not the cloud
goggle
Cloud Global is the actual control
which again is exactly is Sir without
them is teaching here and Tanya the
bottom line is control your midday's
control your thought your speeching
that's the cloud goggle her Ikea her
means the main thing is
the fact that you will you will attain
this
through reflection and meditation that's
true
but that's not
the icker
what if someone
what if someone Avi
is not strong in meditation and
reflection or doesn't have the patience
it takes a lot of time
it doesn't it there's no quick fixes
when it comes to meditation I need not
tell those of you who've done whatever
kind of meditation
and surely not Chabad meditation
I'm not talking about other forms of
Jewish meditation as Rabbi Kaplan
talks about in his book on meditation
and Kabbalah Etc right by Aria capital
meditation has expounded upon in Tanya
it's a different a different form it
takes time
meditation remember I want you to know
once in all meditation doesn't mean
thinking just thinking you can think
very quickly
meditation is focused concentration
of the Mind
and contemplation and that takes time
and no one can tell you oh it has to be
five minutes no no no there has to be 10
minutes that's nonsense
but it has to be a mindset that's spent
with time and patience so you might
think
if I can only invest myself in this
avoid of meditation and contemplation
and it arouses me when I realize how
Hashem is so awesome
that I have offered him
fear for him and I have love for him
that's the primary aspect of the baby
and someone who doesn't have that on
fear is a rush of a timeline
sorry you're not a obeying your mindset
says yeah did that but wrong
as long as you control your Yates are
horror and your nephew bombers and you
work at it breaking your nature if you
break your nature
whether you meditate or not
your ability
and that's Cloud Google why that's the
important rule you need to walk away
with someone will learn all these
chapters and Tanya will say look
and you're telling me that this this
avoid of abandon is associated with
meditation and contemplation I'm not
into that I don't care for it I don't
know how to do it I don't have patience
and by the way this is a constant
um issue
within those that seek to to work on
this model of abandon me
I can tell you from being in the inside
and learning in the Yeshiva this
modality
this is a very difficult modality this
is not an easy modality it really it
really is not easy
and so sometimes you say okay I didn't
succeed
so what shelters do I have with being in
the that's why Dr never says no Cloud
bubble I'm teaching you a main rule that
if you somehow
create within yourself to break your
nature you're my Bailey
that's a very very important rule so it
gives the petitioner and the student of
of Abuelita Hashem
hope and not just hope to know that you
can actually control yourself naturally
naturally and and not only control
yourself but break your nature the more
awe and love you have for Hashem the
greater that love and off Hashem will be
right if you invest in a certain
modality and you practice and train
yourself in that
you will be
up it'll be easier for you to break your
habit because you all of a sudden
understand
and you feel because of your
understanding that just doing things
that are natural
is is is is not it's not really service
it's not service it's it's it's cheap
it's cheap
and we as human beings
and even especially
what we want for ourselves is to create
our own independent model of connection
not because my father did it
not because my rabbit did it
one of the Chabad schools someone told
me yesterday they have a big sign
and the sign says
it's not my father
it's not my mother over there it says
it's my River because they're pushing
you the river but in other words
it's your connection your own connection
so what's the difference whether your
father or mother was this way or that
way and it was the whole idea of yehus
is a small change a small change
it's small change yeah I come from him
and he come from her and you know who my
grandfather was and my grandmother and
what about you right that Mendel's
famous story which I could fight for her
by now you should know the story I've
said it over hundreds of times
comes to a party and all the streets of
smoke in the cigars and with their other
cat they have the glass of champagne and
they're walking around with the tuxedo
and the cufflinks and their hairstyle
and they're moving in a shaking boy wow
this is a real Switzer's party this is
the who's who's of schwitzer kite
and uh this one guy who's dressed like
chat tatters and
is going around he says and who are you
oh I'm Hillary my zaida was this is I am
this I'm dead
and and this guy and and they never saw
him how do you get in here you you you
you you
foreign
how'd you get here who let you in
and they say to him so tell me you're
asking us all who are we
and who are you
and he says I'm shyk your favorite I'm
shy
named shayad shaker The Whistleblower
all I can do is just whistle
so that mental told me there are two
ways of this of of answering the
question the the anecdote
one is he says like in a in a belittling
way in a depressed way I'm shaking
Pfeiffer I'm a nothing
I don't have any big parents or
grandparents
and the other one is he says I'm
shykifer
I'm the redness whistleblower I'm a
shem's whistleblower
I myself am a nothing
but I toot his horn
and for that I am shaky Phifer
so it depends we need our independence
and this whole idea of
is nourish kite and you should know the
rebel in a way taught that to his own
hasidim
I know people who wrote to the rebel
about him
and they and their son or daughter was
gonna meet a son someone whose parents
didn't necessarily go to the mother
didn't necessarily go to the mixer
no having a child not going to the
Midfield in the Holy Zohar is
is a big deal we'll leave it at that
so the person writes to the Reba the
rabbi
my child is gonna wants to meet this
person or that we have this idea
but we don't know if
he or she is up and they neither
a child of Anita the status not going to
the mixer you know the laboratory that
they did
he took his little pencil was starting
with a pencil like this and it went like
this and like this and like this it went
down like this I couldn't write anymore
for whatever reason every every had to
be used so remember took his little
pencil and he crossed out the questions
from the Zohar
which means cut it out
cut it out
I know about the center too right the
rebels I know about desire
but in today's world that shouldn't be
our concern
someone who did shuva and is now Shay
Mateo mitzvahs
everything from before is gone
that's it
so the devil took this approach
in teaching
his own hasidim and Claude Israel those
that would like want to listen and hear
that the the the idea
of past egos a small change
I'll change
were there people who would ask the Reba
about a certain and and and they the
rebel knew that they for them yikos was
important so the rabbi if he knew the
egos he would say and they have this in
these years if you happen to know
because for them it was important for
him it wasn't important
the rebel would always say
avramafrino also didn't have Goods
Tara
what more do you need than Terror or
even avoid the Zara an idol worship was
outram's father
can you find me a person a woman who
wouldn't want to marry avram
I if anyone doesn't want to marry a from
something's wrong with them okay anyway
back to the point in Tanya
so this is the cloud goggle
that the outer never speaks about let's
continue the yes sir now we're holding
by the dock
now he is a Nuance of another Cloud gold
and this isn't a way maybe even more
important but yes it all came
it is more important because he says but
yes it all came even more so
much are you with me Abram are you with
me come on guys after the period look
inside I want you to see the words
even more so you must know a very
important rule about this
and that is
even if the hand of his mind meaning his
intellect
and the spirit of his understanding
does not massage does not accomplish
to give birth to give an offspring to
create
a feeling of love
that's revealed
that a person's heart should be a flame
fire
heart palpitations
if you don't have that
if you don't have all of that
all you have is what we call concealed
love within your brain
and within the recesses look at the
words
these are new words to Tanya
we haven't had him until this chapter
the recesses of the heart
meaning that within the heart
it's in the heart but guess what it's
the the uh a coldness
so you what
okay
yeah but but young we're talking about
in the left it's in the heart
so there is a feeling but it's a cold
feeling
not a burning feeling of love for God
we'll go back
maybe tomorrow let's see the highness
shall leave
the Mind understands with its the heart
the heart understands you see these
words hello maven
what do you mean I love maven
the left Fields the left doesn't maven
what on this what's the word baby mean
understand Maisha who understands the
cup the brain understands look at the
authorities maven
because we're talking about
not a a feeling within the heart that's
heart heart warm warm it's a cold
feeling in the heart because
the sense of intellect of brain is
dominating in the heart so it's like
within the heart but it's the heart
relating to Maven to understanding
and what does it understand I'm going to
give you that example in a moment
the greatness of God
everything can compare to God it's like
North mamish
ably Therefore your conclusion is the
right thing is
my soul should expire for you God should
cleave to you God go highly doubly
collaborate I should I want to be
included Incorporated in your light
in your spirit that's the thing you
yours it's properly his place ale of the
shake of faitha I should give up my own
self for God Desiring you type of
patriot base
for me to leave the shield what's the
shield who I goof this refers to the
body
with shields and and it heals you from
God it hides God so I want to Super
I want to overcome that little Dusky
bite the cleave to him
true
God says hey
don't have a uh end of life trip you
know don't have one of these psychedelic
trips where you want to kill yourself
you have to look I'm forcing you to stay
within a body with through this boy and
you're bound up in a body look down
today is like living
widows you know the whole good morning
you promise
where someone never is
the husband doesn't want to give her a
gift
so you're forced
I I'm not enough I want to go on in my
life
but you got a man that's going to give
you a guess and you're like calamon is
highest living widows you're not a real
Widow you're a living Widow
someone Embraces the king
guess what the king is dressed with X
clothing
says the altareba chapter 4 makes no
difference Avi because the king is there
the clothing are only on top of the king
and when you embrace the king the
clothing of the king you have the king
what's the point he's making here the
point is out to them but saying there's
something that the mainly has to know
that's a cloud goggle and even more
important and that is
even if you can't come to a point where
you understand through meditation and
you have fear and in the mind and love
in the heart with heart palpitations for
God you can come to a point of what's
called taluma slippery an intellectual
love within the heart and that's the
muscle I've given you and give you again
your wife asks you to take out the
garbage you don't want to do it you do
it anyway ask yourself if you have love
palpitations for your wife when you take
out the garbage you
trouble
but why are you doing it
because it's the right thing
look at the wealthy rabbit's words
history
okay on the bottom of page 42.
okay yes sir lawyers bought it you also
lawyers buttock means the right thing to
feel for God is to do what God wants
you're my God you made me you're awesome
so I don't have that deep intellectual
understanding I don't have that deep
feeling emotionally but I know it's the
right thing to do I do it says the out
to them
this is expected of abandon me and this
is what abandon me must know and this is
even the greater General lesson
if because debating again we might might
say look I I can't get into meditation
and I don't understand so deeply God and
I don't have this great fear in my mind
and it's the great feelings of heart
palpitations love for God therefore I'm
not shy to be abandonedly says doubt
that ever wrong
wrong wrong wrong
as long as you think about God and you
come to a place where it's the right
thing to do
that's fine
that's fine and it's going to teach us
later in the next year or two is going
to teach us that Hashem loves that so
much that he gives you credit as though
you have loved palpitations for Hashem
which is an awesome thoughts
out to support it
right in other words it's as though when
you're taking out the garbage for your
wife the credit you get is that not only
do you love her you know
all other times or many other times but
even we take out the garbage when you
don't really love her you always have to
be incredible like you love her
because this is the right thing so you
bathe in me don't be despondent
but
know that if you come to a place where
even if you just conclude it's right for
me to go to Jewel
it's right for me to learn it's right
for me to be a servant of God and
therefore I you do it you're getting the
full credit and that's a cloud goggle
that's a great plow
because otherwise we wouldn't think
that's the case kevra we'll see everyone
tomorrow Brian earling have a great day
Shalom bye
