oh we're beginning now chapter letter 18
page it
says I believe
in how beautiful how pretty how
sweet is the love of
delights that in sh is a kind of a love
story
the husband has for the for the wife
andem we Hashem has for for us and we
call this so remember those words
because we're going to focus on that in
this
chapter
says there are two levels of and by the
way we spoke about this and learned this
is from chapters 43 through 50 we
learned many different level in the
first section of Tanya many different
levels of AA so this is kind of um a
recap a
revisit H there are two levels of the
first
one the higher one is called a pleasure
a love of delights of pleasure and he
explains this
means a Jew has
Delight for God
look at Al's words they're so they're so
galic a wondrous
pleasure with an abundance and
mighty
wow and the S is so powerful and so deep
and so profound that it impacts the soul
the neish it's not just the body dances
and the hands clap and the soul is
happy Means and it has this cace
experience of giving itself away to God
from the word
clish and what's the reason why the the
person and the soul comes to this
position because God is
good it's an expression the sweetness of
the sweet and the
sweet it sounds
like we don't have Yi here or H
but would always say the sweet the
sweetest of the sweet
wondrous that is a
sensation that is similar to the feeling
in Hab the world to
come as we said one benefits there from
the from
the and it's regarding this lofty
of called it
says rejoice in
God
says not everyone merits
this Turn the Page to to
252 Ines it says the co theah
has what we call
this is the Aramaic word for the Hebrew
word rone of the
heart this isn't just I want something
this is a profound Stillness as
explained
Theus that is so powerful and so
passionate so deep that this is alloted
to the sadikin
and and and and it you have to have
a not all not even it's not an automatic
not all sadik have this by the way he
says you have to be to
it he quotes now a verse the stranger
that comes close to the sanctuary is
punished right you weren't allowed to go
in who is allowed to go into the
sanctuary to the mikdash only a coin
because a coin has this level of r
which was necessary for the
communication in
the a stranger a foreigner a regular
fellow who doesn't experience this
aim stay away don't come too
close you come too close you're going to
you're goingon to you're going to flip
out says but this level of love it is
not the way it is not the style the
manner to to to attain it by
comprehension B by making your
flesh
be you know to exert
effort this is not analogous to the to a
and
fear which we which they ask in
have you exerted yourself with
fear and wo whoo wo to the flesh that
hasn't exerted himself itself with
fear as it says in the book
of yes H you're asking a question where
we at what
yes we're I'm not I'm not with you okay
page page
252 okay uh four chapter 19 fourth line
yes okay you're
welcome and it says
regarding if you will search for it like
you search for gold for
silver iser what silver what ises it
saying kabala
right gold is is the concept
of right
so you could search for it and you need
to search and work hard to
attain one needs a great exertion a
mighty exertion
like you search for Treasures the point
being that y could be attained through
much effort continue look
inside but this level of which we call
the love of the
lights right in the in the
brackets it falls into man at times from
above
without him preparing himself for
God oh one second it comes to you
spontaneously but the AL says look at
the next
line that gift that God gives you of
having this sensation of Love of
delights is after you've exerted
yourself with with what's called
exalted and you reach the ultimate that
you can attain through your
effort to comprehend
it based on your
soul after you've done whatever you
could the most you
could automatically will
come Delights
to dwell to together with the the O that
you've attained through your
work says in and we know it because
we're all males here it is a style and
the method and the custom of the man to
go after the woman what is that in what
is that in
a is is is would be the is would be the
it is the style of is to pursue the
ISA meaning when you work hard and and
you diligent and you put in effort then
you be you've made yourself a receptacle
that when God decides if he decides to
bless you and gift you with you're
ready and I just want to say
ready what I just want to say I'm ready
you're ready well it's it's very nice of
you to say you're ready but uh we have
to do a check on you you know what I
mean uh and we're not going to do that
in public uh we'll start testing you how
much year you have
but but but but this is very I think
about it such
a you know many times we do things and
we do good things and and and it's kind
of time goes by and you don't know and
you think ah it's forgotten and then all
of a
sudden it comes back Hashem wakes you up
just happened to me this morning about a
month
ago my father is from from bavina in
Romania and the city is called gamur gar
it's the it's the footsteps of the um of
the Carpathian Mountains you know talk
about the balv and the Carpathian
Mountains well this area is very
beautiful all Hill mountains all around
and the Daniel river goes through one of
the one of the
rivers so it's always been a dream of
mine to to go there and to walk the land
and maybe maybe my father's house is
standing still whatever so I I did you
know did some
online and and I came across and I knew
but that the Sho the main Shool in my
father's Little Village is still
standing the
Nazis didn't I don't they didn't touch
it but it's still standing not only the
outside the inside I saw there's
pictures because it the bsal art gallery
on the um on
in they had they had a project where
they went to Europe and they and they
you
know filmed and and and did art with the
with with old shoes in Europe and one of
them was this
Sho and it's online and I look the
benches are still there the AR kind just
it's it's like a it's a Sho but it's
locked there's no
Jews so I'm interested in exploring that
so finally finally someone who had a go
a non-jewish woman who has a hotel motel
over there cuz people it's a resort town
gurar today is Resort town because
you're next to the water you have the
mountains around and the air is good
it's it's really like a like you know
and that's why there are hotels around
there
anyway so I contacted her and finally I
said who has the keys to this place cuz
I know people who were there they
couldn't go inside they just saw the
building the
outside so she said you know what I
assume the that in Bucharest capital of
Romania over there the the there's a
Jewish Federation and she gave me a name
and so I sent a
message sent a message to some
someone and didn't hear back this must
be now a
month so I I didn't even think about it
cuz cuz as it is you know it's it's a
very long schlep it's like a no there's
no airport there so if you fly into
Bucharest you got to drive 5 six 7even
hours if you come fly into Yas you got
to drive 2 three hours and if not you
can take take a plane to suchava and
then got to drive an hour so it's like
you know whatever it's it's it's a hard
place to get to and and I'm not
particular the mood of you know sitting
in in Vans and unknown places and
driving on roads you know so it's um
it's a cumbersome project you know
but and I said the guy is not responding
obviously it looks like it's from heaven
and even you know if I come to I was
going to I was going to go there and
from there over to maybe P to be with
the the my family
whatever this morning out of the blue
I'm sitting in SHO I get up early and
preparing for daving learning whatever I
get a a
WhatsApp uh can you can you can you meet
I would like to have a a um a video
WhatsApp with you on next
week out of the
blue I I'm using this as an example we
learn here says that if you exert
yourself with
Y and H said I'm
ready you could forget about things and
years later months later all of a sudden
again I don't know what nothing might
come of it I have no idea but but the
very fact and and he wrote to me why did
he take him three four weeks to respond
cuz he was checking me out cuz he says
we have a lot of people who you know
want to benefit from us I don't know
what that means and you know whatever I
guess they they smell money there I I
don't know what they smell I I have no
idea but he made a comment he said and I
see that you're very legit and he saw
about my online and he saw my books and
they're scholarly and and um I have no
idea what this person is and who he is
and what he knows I mean he's a Jewish
fellow he's a Jewish fellow and he's the
Secretary General of the the Federation
of the Romania so I don't know what
Prestige that means I'm not I have no
idea about that whole realm of of work
but obviously he's he's he's a maker on
some level you know so my point is here
I already gave up I said already forget
I'm not going to Romania right it's like
cuz a month ago I was really involved in
this and planning and calling and I and
I I reached a lot of people on you know
and and people who use Google Translate
cuz they don't know English to translate
my whatsapps into into into Romanian and
and they wrote back they translated it
was you know very it was very for me
very interesting to get this
communication and then stops cuz if if
they have the key to the Sho and I want
to get into the Sho and I want to maybe
make a museum in the Sho I don't know
whatever right I have no one to talk to
who am I talking to who's the balab
buos and plutz suddenly a month later I
get a response so the year I'm just it's
a very it's a mush and if it's wrong
it's wrong of a mush if it's right it's
right the says here he says here that
that that that the
AA it's not an expectation if you have
an expectation of
aaba you have it all wrong there no
expectations a Raba is something that's
beyond The Human Experience it's a gift
that hasem after seeing how hard you
work that's why challenge you H if if if
if I if if I may if I may do that you
know because we have to all challenge
ourselves is
our as he says
here and you know and and and good
listen giving up uh GAA giving up TAA
giving up uh all kinds of stuff is youra
it's much easier to eat what you want
and do whatever you want and just live a
you know day so that's you know but
that's that's that's the that's the
calculation well let's use Hebrew words
that's
the that we have to make am I doing
enough for my in the C of Y or
fear whether Hashem will say you know
you're a good boy you've worked very
hard you deserve deserve a nice little
gift and I'm going to send you an
a Hal Hal Hal let's
continue he
says so this was all the first level of
AA the higher level
called now he goes to the second one
this is a love and a desire of the
Soul three
words Love and
[Music]
Desire to
God to B bind yourself with the with go
with
of and you want to be close to God
and this is what the person
desires and a person the simultaneously
feels very
bad to distance himself
from because by distancing yourself you
cause a partition of of B of
iron coming from the extraneous
forces which separates you with the
person of God and you don't want
that right only I have enough stuff I
don't need to bring more partitions from
Clippers I got my own
issues a this second level of AA which
is
attainable and an
expectation it is concealed in the
Jewish
heart in the heart of all of Israel
a even in the wicked
y I'll never get that comment you made
about seven eight years ago about that
uh I don't know that that the Jew who
you said you know is a self-hating Jew
and you ask does he have that love I
forget who it
was uh a big mocker Bernie no not Bernie
Sanders no you made it comment about oh
Sor s yeah George Soros he remembers
look how he
remembers yeah that's it
so the says here look at the words that
every
ye even the wicked Jews have an
A they have a deep concealed love for
God in the
heart and at the time when they wake up
and they say I made a mistake they have
where does it come from iser if you
don't have it in your heart in your
depth in the neish where is it coming
from the answer is you do have it you
always had it the Russia always had it
but he he got so fished and
so mixed up that he's a Russia a
self-hating Jew even but he has
AAS but because it's so con heal in the
body so the negative forces force can
dominate over over this love and
basically put it into jail and say you
stay put you you you dog you know I'm
going to control the situation and I'm
going to bring all this negativity to
you because you're one big piece of
negativity says this is the spirit
of that man to
sin what is our job to our
Master to overpower the negative
Force right like in Bening look three
words Co the same three words used in
Bening in everything from everything
everything
initially you got to get it out of your
body get out of here Clipper get out of
my body
get out of here completely you better
move out of my
way where from my thought my speech or
my action clip it find yourself another
another carbon get out of my
life don't don't impure my brain my mind
the and my tongue don't speak vulgar
disgusting
words and get out of my all my limbs
yeah
and after we do this now this is tough
work
guys pushing out the negativity
afterwards after you do
that he can release
himself from a from a big Jail from a
mighty prison with
strength he he can be very
strong Le
what does he do he reveals this hidden
latent love in an abundant
way all faculties of the soul that are
invested in the
[Music]
body the main thing is he has to get rid
of it the and then turn his into a
vessel and his thought a vessel for
God next page that the Mind should
constantly be thinking about and
meditating on Hashem
hasem is the living of the living
generally
speaking and is specifically the life of
my soul it's nice to say abam there's a
God out there and he's a very big God
and he makes a great world and what
about
you what about them used to say what
about the little the little the little
hunt the little dog that's in your
heart I don't mean dog and you know I'm
saying like your beh God's Great Hashem
is great tah is great M what about you
and you right the famous story I've told
you sha Fifer sha comes to the event no
everyone's there with their cigars and
their and their champagne glasses and
they're toasting and they're moving and
they're dressed and it's fancy wow wow
wow it's a belly
party maybe Mar Lago
anyway one second one second
hillo and they see a fellow who's asking
everyone what's your name what's your
name and what's your
name so he finally says and they say to
him you've asked us our name who are you
I'm sh yes sh the F for The
Whistleblower
ah so the M what the us when he would
repeat this anecdote he would say he
would say I'm Sher I'm nothing but I
have a
re and I'm his what am I saying is
there's a Sher in every one of us yes
Hil what do you
want I just want to go back to that
phrase call me called Co
yes I
remembering that phrase I don't remember
what it's anybody remember I don't I
know I know I learned the gar but I
don't remember but we could look it up
online today it's not a problem but I
don't the answer is I don't remember if
anyone remembers put it on the chat
okay it says further second line on
page a person should should
desire and lust in a healthy
way to God
a love a person should have this this
lust and desire to be close to God like
a child who wants to be close to their
their parent by the
father just like a fire ascends another
example fire ascends upward con
naturally you don't have to tell the
fire hey flicker upwards it does it
automatically CU it wants to go back to
its source to fall the ball of fire or a
child who always feels that he has the
the the respit and and the safe haven
being in the parent
home and the longer you think about this
you meditate not just you just clap your
hands and move your body but you think
and you
understand this this desire you you
intellectualize
it from the mind this same Sensation
will Express itself in your words where
you'll say I love you Hashem I want to
be with you Hashem you're the only thing
in my life and other such feelings and
statements and then and then it'll
translate to all of your limbs that it
won't just be in your thought it won't
just be in your mouth but you'll
actually take the gor and sit down and
learn you'll actually give you'll
actually go and help somebody and then
visit someone in a nursing
home you do you learn
inity and regarding this tremendous
yearning
see my soul says my soul is thirsty for
you just like someone a person who's
thirsty from
water and he doesn't have any pleasure
until he drinks the water
Also regarding this desire and yearning
that's hidden within
us we we pray to hem you should be our
help you should help
us release this feeling that's within us
from its
captivity my our heart should be full of
it only
and don't allow any problems to enter uh
challenges to enter it the
house referring to the lusts and
desire the worldly
indulgences who should be the main stay
of the home my wife meaning This Love
that I have in my heart
forem to dominate and conquer the it's a
reference to a second wife that could be
a cuz she's always you know always
jealous the first wife so calls
it out out you go my thought spech in
action now although you can't get rid of
it completely Because unless you're
we're not right but at least from
thought speech and action that's Al have
explained about the in the first section
of and therefore This Love This hidden
love should come out for things that
we and just to conclude means that you
live in the world you live in the
world in all your ways the doctor the
therapist this the that whatever we all
do and over there it's we find God so
this is the second love the second love
is
attainable we'll see everyone withm on
uh Sunday on Monday and we will wish
everyone a Happy Birthday um
with it says is upcoming so I give
everyone a to be number one gun healthy
that's the first thing without Health
you could do very little
and your kids and
grandkids and and we should have shom
there is true peace and hem should have
mercy that all the enemies should should
leave us alone and whatever it needs to
be to them and and we should be able to
serve to be see mashia now amen
Shalom great shabas
