we're middle of the mimer towards the end ozzy baka kashaka from 1934 the frida krampus and the the thrust of the mimer is that so far that through a person's what he calls me their own essential light which is the idea of the heart the more more the dawn morning light that breaks through the the night has the power of healing that that's the that's a nutshell and the way that but developed is is that there are three three things that prevent a person from avoiding hashem one is uh indulgences net regular day-to-day nepheshabami's type of behavior and and desires number two habits first bad habits and even good habits that need to be better that you that a person shouldn't just do it because it's habitual that's number two and number three and the third thing that abba said towards the end of yesterday's chapter is that uh the seiko the person's mind justifies rationalizes what he decides he wants to do which isn't always the best thing so that a person has to vacate that so he speaks about apostol rise to yourself to go to yourself and so the luck is the essence and the question is how to get to the essence so first that ever defeated you know like i said you remember last week it says you have to know what the makha is in order to be cured if you don't know what the illness is classification the cure won't be won't be effective so he says the look to your very essence if you touch your essence you'll be able to accomplish so much more so many ways you'll be more spiritually healthy and also physically healthy as i think he's going to say in this coming chapter so he says in order to get to the luck you have to know what's preventing the law and those things are those three things that i mentioned now let's go let's go inside of 188. rise yourself he touched over here in this you'll see my sustainer my feeder like nemo that we we feed hashem through taylor yafyasi he says refers to mitzvos my beauty because when we do mistress it's like we're dressed up with nice clothing would be pretty beautiful and go to yourself the ultimate is in other words he will he sees the two words at the end of the possible as the ultimate in other words it's not enough to kumilo but you have to somehow it's not enough to rise to a state of fosse but you have to defeat you have to go look so he says the tackles are clear the ultimate of everything is yes hillary you want to say something is that dramatically the feminine version yeah that there should be the alias the elevation of the source of the neshoba malia zoo and this aliyah yaakov it's through the involvement of the emanation of the soul the reflection of the soul so again i want to make make sure you all understand the the simple the um the mathematics here there is the neshama the helicon that's maloopish in the goof that's a concept in kabbalah and khasid elaborates on it it's only a helix it's in our storage house for us but that's where it is we have to make a combination and bring together the two and this is what he says that through these saskas of the others through us using that part of the neshama that is within our body for avoiding hashem through mitzvahs guess what we accomplished we accomplished that the shrine is having a shaman has an aliyah so it's us causing the strangers of the shama to have an aliyah and it's an amazing thought do you think about it small that the who why why why should the trainers understandish it's the source it's the root so it's i'm not explaining here but explain the considers that even the shredish has a limitation why because since this shaitis is the strangest of the sharma as the that itself was a limitation to the strategy did you ever learn that conception that the straightest you understand but i want to make sure the shade is as as high and as great as it's a shadish but it's a root a source for the summer of itself that it allows and wants and puts into the body so that itself is a restriction that means it's bound it's bound on some level by what we do by what it's section of it's the summer does here so that's why siddha says and he says it right here it needs an aliyah too how does the strangers have to show them again aliyah through our in through us taking the shrama that's in the goof and using the photo mitzvahs we cause an aliyah to destroy sharma and by the way this is the real meaning of yerrida sayre khalia we're always citing and referring to these words hillary the purpose of the the descent of the urethra now normally when you say that here he's saying something else here he's saying the shaman needs an aliyah that is that the helicopter the shaman that's in the body needs nothing but the hindus is that the strangest rabbi sharma needs an aliyah as i said why because it's by the fact that it's bound to the helicopter that's in the gulf that itself is a limitation and therefore it needs an aliyah that's right that's exactly the nakuda that's a trip that's exactly the good and smooth that's the rice guy that's the richness and and deeper understanding of united states that and and and by the way and why is that you say what's what's the explanation because there's nothing greater than taking gashmias and making gas me as godly and making gosham is godly impacts everything everywhere in the best and greatest way including the source of the shama that's that's never that never came here to begin with so absolutely it's a good insight okay hillary you you follow the logic you follow says now this is the real meaning of kumila rise to yourself there needs to be kumi rise what are you rising to rise and bring join together who which says and he explains the initial step of serving hashem is in eliminating ra you hear yaakov is that enough muslim for you the surah that's what it says in the mexicans in 1934. in the three aforementioned ways of removing the tithis the habits and the seiko how my name that normally prevent the person yid may avoid them serving hashem so you have to remove that vehicle this is the three things of gold to yourself may occur from your land and rely on your whoever desires to become close to serving hashem in the region the first avoider the first activity is he lot says it's to leave me the corporeality and the earthliness the grub kite look at the language here this is the is the the coarseness within the gosmius kashmir's itself is not bad kashmir's itself is that like like we'll said earlier like we've discussed we need to make a kali for hashem the problem is the humny is yes hillary a question quoted where's that from madras look back look back hillary on page one eighty four um one eighty six okay and you said i just i just wanna say um that uh where it brings to mind is the uh i think it's rashi springs from madrid where it says yes and it says that he was blessed with a daughter right uh and here it addresses the daughter right we would have to check the meditation to see if and maybe those two madrashi are next to each other it's a very good uh very good point you're making anyway let's go back to 189. so that evan says what needs to be done you have to lasso if the first word on page 189 you have to forsake us the grub kite the coarseness chebagashinis so he doesn't elaborate more but it you know but there's a lot in that word the gosh means itself is is is is good we need gas vias it's the making taking the gosh means and making give it grub of course and and and immersing ourselves in it and being totally absorbed in it that's a problem we call that home reuse who are you today so the question is how do we accomplish that says that ebb for who are you today it's through his binding news through meditation she is bane and a person should of the earthly hosts were divided are divided into four categories climb general categories dome inanimate semi-vegetative high living madabra speaking and he says the tactics are the ultimate of the inanimate hub it is to have to service the vegetation as it says and the earth will give forth sprout forth plant you know grass whatever the plantation and so what do we see that her audits that the soil the earth which is thyme will give forth yavula in other words it's it's tackles its ultimate is doing something for the higher domain which in this case is somayah he continues learning right now is a general concept to remember for whenever you learn questions that's very important the tactics that's the ultimate of vegetation it should be incorporated in the living when the living animal eats the grass of the ground so then the grass has an aliyah the tacos the ultimate of the living the living a donkey whatever whatever animal it is it services the human what about the madame what about the living baba dabit yesterday [Music] so this this is what yaakov the person should think this is a meditation right here that the is telling us to use these other men should contemplate very much is all the things that i do the whole is the manhattan all the practices customs nayek that i am accustomed to do him tackles are they the purpose and reason why man was created and is this why my soul came down to earth to eat and sleep and enjoy is that the reason because also in human intellect one will understand the rebels saying a person will logically understand you shouldn't be drawn after corporeality after the grub kite because that's not why you were created for a bahama as a behemoth and the grass is the grass and the stones are the stones and you're a human by the way he's not talking about a jew he's talking of meditation for a human being [Music] being your name so stop here ends the hispanics which started on the first line the fourth word for who is born industry is by name that's what started after the whole niv right there on the first line and then ends over here this five six lines is one his abundance one meditation one thought that that ever says we are to use to help us get away and remove humdious and be just dealing with the gosmis and one should be involved in intellectual ideas only start in the to distance himself the lord says mr gilleysof and to vacate his habits while couponing at least the years kosher bazaar at least don't be bound where you feel chained and enslaved to the habits and then when you train your mind to of to think this thought then you will always understand you can't rely only on your comprehension of the issue remember what he's doing here what he's doing here he's tackling all the three issues that prevent a person from avoiding hashem that he spoke about in the last chapter right the typhus the habits and the sacral you notice what he's doing here he's saying that through this meditation it will it's one way of tackling these three issues that's what he says here first he talks about the meditation as a means of vacating the homeless and just sticking to the gospel is which is the counter yakov which is the counter to the first issue the first problem number two look what he says the sonically sausage bin young cycling you have to be involved in these thoughts constantly because they will distance you and make you vacate and leave your habits that's a counter a response measure to the second problem habits and number three he says um by not being bound tied connected to this these things you will also understand that you shouldn't rely on your subjective opinion the third issue that we identified yesterday is we're justifying and saying oh yes i know why and i know why for me it's acceptable and you justify it so that ever says when you will make this meditation and you will think about these things here and ask yourself am i living to the ultimate purpose of why a human was created which was to transcend the animal domain to elevate it by being a human that will also open up for you the idea that you shouldn't trust yourself and and always say i know better and i understand better etc that's what he says he calls mom back to the text he calls man because as long as you're balanced you're tied look at the word obvious from the word with an iron grub kite grub of course the earthly grubkite the kosher berrigulos and you're bound to habits you consider yourself limit for an entity for an existence dover some form some format of existence um and you conclude i have seiko and i have an opinion and i say that it's justified and therefore in every and all matter you conduct yourself the way your opinion dictates ah this is all the issue that can be that's not proper but if you begin serving hashem well paul you'll be asking me lava lazarus odyssey is and you impact you make you you you you impact upon yourself to vacate the earthliness velocity's merigilus and to leave the habits also then you are apt the hoven to understand albinos showing that you cannot rely on your own comprehension in other words once hello this is his point great point once you vacate the whole is the coarseness and you come to a place where you say i this is a habit and it's not good or even if it's good i gotta break through then your mind that your justification changes as well and you don't conclude i understand this way and i say it this way it has to be this way and all that that's what he says so he's saying it's a progression if you want the cycle your the subjective mind to not uh interfere with avoid this hashem and not confuse you and dry your cup and explain why it has to be this way and it's amazing sometimes when you talk to people they will give you such logic why they do certain things and you're saying to yourself you're out of your mind like you're so warped you know so there ever says here that if you haven't left the titus and the habits you're going to conclude the way you conclude but once you already break the the typhus and you just look for the gospels not the homeless and you vacate the habits that are gilus then the seiko will not conclude as much i know and it's my opinion and everything i i in a rational way but rather you'll say maybe i made a mistake maybe i should ask someone else you know maybe i should try another path [Music] and a person must dedicate himself to service of hashem kabbalah saw you by having acceptance of the yoke kabbalah soil of heaven do not follow reasoning and only reasoning and reasoning and reasoning he goes back to the post go to yourself and do leave those three things right and go to the land that i will show you how avoid the chef in the way she is available is the first way of correcting media is who like noise meeters who her another vicious she edits through its mirrors the first thing is to acquire the meter of humility another that is a proper piece of earth that's ready let's mikkels to grow to give growth to meet this typhus you know it's very difficult to get anywhere anywhere with a balgever or when we have ego on yes you can't budge it's just comes back and back and back and back and it's and so that ever says that the first thing having kabbalah soil it means to have another humility and once you have humility you've now uh prepared the earth for growth that's what he says what's the growth meters clearly then the person is actually a vessel for godliness okumashikov as it says in yeshaya murray kaddish exaltedness and holiness i dwell on the downtrodden and the broken and the and the the you and the one who has humility i dwell there so we see clearly that taco the humility state stage state of being is where hashem says i'm able and wanting to rest abu mishra will be yeshua's with gaza someone was a yesh whose ego full of ego and arrogance ain't clearly cuz is not a vessel for godliness remember that rule my friends it's a rule for life on the contrary who hey page helicos that individual or that aspect of our character when we show that that aspect it's contrary to god very very sharp words because can you have a talmud that has this yesh guess what i'm sorry so you'll say well it's not a real time of course there's a real time of various citizen some emphasize this avoid them more than others right you know amongst the the the as we spoke yesterday about navarre the the vardik school of of musser they were very much into smashing the ego now the way they did it was in their style you know which we discussed yesterday and that's why you know it's just for a moment the verdict had so many yeshivas in europe before the war people don't know this many of them very small yeshivas you know we talk about chabad and the underground yeshivas the the world doesn't know the bad world doesn't know in the general world no one know that i mean some people know but most don't that the verdict had maybe 150 little yeshivas and they they and and without fanfare i mean i spoke to some real nevada kids one of my teachers in the babaji shiva he's still alive he must be 106. he lives here in brooklyn rabbi uh graham lizzanick i'll tell you a story i might have told you but just because sir you know he he was our hebrew teacher in high school for hebrew the subject when we had a regents on hebrew so i was away for 20 20 plus years in california i came back here and i and you know i always like to keep in touch with my old teachers and friends and i and i said you know where is this rabbi was it we used to call him excuse me louie louie you know us uh teenagers and yeshiva louis small little man with a little you know goat beard and he was a real nevada care a little a literature and he was a great teacher i i still remember some of the things that he taught us in how to read how to hebrew he taught us and i'm thankful to him is he alive and i heard he was alive but for whatever reason i'm hearing 20 24 25 years i didn't catch up to him two years ago or so before covet i decided i gotta find them and i find found them on avenue n and east uh 18th or 17th anyway in flatbush a corner house there's a shul on the first floor he lives upstairs i went upstairs to him he was a hundred and two 103 at the time and his head was born hashem still working he didn't remember my name uh and i said to him i was one of your students and he was his face lit up and i said to him rabbi lizzevnik and he said and he has a phd from colombia i think his semitic languages in 1971 he got a phd very bright man and he went through the war and there's a whole story so i said listen i'd like to bring you to 770. because i know that many hundreds you talk he started to teach in the babbage yeshiva i think in 1949 till the the the late 70s or 80s he had hundreds of students that went through his classes i said if if we if i can bring it to 770 you'll have a hundred people around you it's not even a question because people don't even people think you're i didn't say this but to my people said you passed on already and here you are listen to what he said to me and this and this is nevada this is what i'm telling you the story so he said to me and yiddish he spoke english to me says name he looks up name does guyver i wish i had a camera and video to show you this because it was it was nevada 101 like no i'm 102 years old what guy what do you have at 102. could you tell me nothing the competitiveness that's killer base above the bottom of the right is his name and the way he said it so soft and sweet no name this is guyva that's ego school planted in these real students this idea of another here we find the my mercedes from which also talks about another the spin is a different one but the bottom line is anova so i i think it was important just to to show you this that you know and that ebb is saying here that unless you have another as the you served as the foundation you can't begin you can't begin because it's all about self-self-self and you can even be uptime with him he doesn't say it here and other my murmur says it can even be and nevertheless let's continue and that's why he says i i said it because he uses a very strong other abilities at the contrary who hates helicos that's a heavy line he's contrary he's a blockage he's an obstacle to godliness wow okay my man has to say that the mother says [Music] we cannot love them we can't live in the same room the whole area became a school for whoever walks with an upright posture it says as though he pushes away the feet of the he grabs a place it means that he he he had he takes up place excuse me that that would be the english he takes up room and there's no room for anyone else how does he do that by considering himself isha myla that he's such a great holy guy he's such a great special person he considers he feels himself he's markish limit c is double crossroad i am important which literally means he holds of himself meaning he feels he's important that helpful um and because he thinks and believes that he's very important who yoker being yatzma he's very precious and dear in his own eyes like i always say he's god's gift to humanity humanity wouldn't exist without him he is so important says this feeling [Music] is a source to all bad to all evil to all problems with someone who is so important in his own eyes who co-fates hakoyeo he desires everything the rates wants everything in yiddish how do you like that quote moshe ervil out he wants everything and darth and needs everything he must have it he must have it now he can't live without it needless to say but foreign that he has this attitude written for permissible matter so he has no stoppage no limitations and he must have it there he is you could be in i asked but since he's so precious in his own eyes who royal la coyle therefore he says i deserve everything yiddish is that alex that means i'm worthy of it but ella got ello but not only permissible matter elder gambit voting mastered him even with forbidden matter mentally commentate him he finds all kinds of justifications and excuses the agave top of page 190 shiva's otsuma okay considering himself important or brilliant and his creation and his being created and being important that god created him in your accent what is the very essence the very prohibited matter in the global bane of kolkata in other words his need for this supersedes the fact that maybe it's forbidden i need it i'm so important i'll find an excuse later to justify it uh we'll stop here in hashem and we'll continue tomorrow aside doesn't everyone have a good day shut up bye
