Maamar Kol #3 - World has Creator - G-d is Creator and beyond

four perfect so we're about good day everyone we're learning now the my mid um whoa [Music] oh i see would see that the calamari the heading the heading over here in this safe it says matuevo elecha yaakov in the in the in the header but it's the it's not right the mimer is called that's why i got confused yeah was also confused but to know okay so we we learned yesterday that the posix says shemesh um hashem elokim as just as the sun and its cover so is god our god because this explains this it's not just poetry but it explains the way hashem creates the world and that is just as the chemist the muscle the parable the analogy is just as the sun must have a cover a shield for it to be effective otherwise it would be too strong for the world to receive and it would burn the world but nevertheless so one second so so it has a cover that dims the light of the sun making it accessible and beneficial for us nevertheless what is it that's benefiting us and helping us as said in the torah we make its voice the sweetness of tour comes from the sun and the sweetness of cucumbers comes to the boom so we see there's an actual benefit to the sunlight and the moonlight coming through its cover it's not take its shield nevertheless what is it that we're getting it's the sun it's a ray of the sun but it's it's not a ray of the shield the shield is helen the shield conceals and if we take for another another muscle for example a teacher teaches a rav talmud is is known to bring the muscle of raven talmud very often the rav if he were to teach the students the way he himself understands on his level it would be overwhelming and the students wouldn't benefit so what does this the teacher do he dresses up his information he conceals he hides but at the end what that amount that is communicated to the to the student it's his knowledge the rob's knowledge if it were to become students knowledge it wouldn't be beneficial it's irav's knowledge it's the shemesh it's the sunlight that helps us vis-a-vis a cover but it's the sunlight so this rabbit says so too is a shameless kim creation bria is from youth cave of k the word utk buff k is pronounced havaya fire what does the word havaya mean laha voice to create not to sustain not to vivify vivify the hebrew word is highest sustain the hebrew word is kium and here we use the word that means to create and as soon as you say to create it denotes it tells us it wasn't here before and it become and it and it comes to be what we know has it is to be known as yeshmiah something from nothing that's all implied in the word havaya so when the when the titus says when the puzzle says is compared to the shemesh and their locum is compared to the mugen right it says the position hashem elokim so the youth kavovke the creative force of god is analogous to the sun how is it analogous explains how citizens have been explained here as well that creation can only be from hawaii creation cannot be from elokim from that force of god that's known as elokim we wouldn't have creation why not simple simple logic yeah it's simple what's the logic elo [Music] concealment and restraint so how could it be that from a negative or a concealment that should be creation creation means pro-activity doing something positive and here i'm holding back elokim so hasidah says you're right creation doesn't come from elokim it comes from utk bufke however the youth cave of k the havaya the creation creator the creative force and power is too overwhelming and it needs it needs a shield it needs a cover to tame it to control it that's eloquent that's hello kitty and that's why the the simile similarly means the comparison the simile between hashem elokim to shemesh umagain is very exact and precise that's what we learned until now [Music] [Applause] uh i'm not a linguistic and i don't know a hundred percent the word barra we translate voracious borrelicum in the beginning god created right uh the the targum says the uh on the possibilities that that i believe that's the target translation it could be that again bara represents creation x nilo yeshmiah the ramban says that is the force of creator even as he is before he is a creator of a created being there is the concept of oil mice before the tsimsu and there's also the i so i'm saying possibly yeah yeah it could it could be the implication of the word lahava is is not normally we use it for bria like you said but it could be that it really refers to even a creation from of of before brian you know uh name and adam kadman and and all those darkest maybe we we would also use the word okay let's learn inside page 204 is the unity of hashem is apparent and recognizable to all creatures when is that valvo it's very easy to say that but you know is it so that ever says it's so if i know if cash if and when you will meditate when man will meditate reflect on the world he lives in and [Music] the creation he will not only believe he will see the energy and the vitality the godly energy vitality the zeal and see this energy creates and enlivens the world and its creatures so the river starts alluding to here the concept of what we call me you don't this doesn't require ammuna this is this is das this is knowledge and this is what he's going to explain now someone told me yesterday or that two few days ago i asked him how his father who came from a traditional svardic background became more religious he said he was traveling from a country from where he came from and he was coming to america or canada and um he looked at the water as the boat with the ship was sailing and he said wait a minute who made this how is all this happening and he said it must be that there is a creator of and things don't happen just by chance and that was the impetus for him when he landed to check into a shoe and to start learning titan i i i i mentioned this yo innocent because the rabbit says here when you take the time to reflect on what's going on it becomes very clear that there is a creator here the issue is either we don't take the time or our reflection is in the wrong areas but if you're if you have if you have the peace of mind and and and it's unadulterated with stick and stupidity and all kinds of nonsense it becomes clear when you look outside and the sun comes up in the morning that there's something greater than ourselves and the world we live in that makes it all come together this is what he says here now he says he explains himself one of the most used verses in khabar hasidis from my flesh sorry exa i shall see alika godliness if i look verbal at my body my flesh and you're a doctor you look at you look at it every day not your own flesh necessarily but people who you treat you will see that there is eleca there is a force there is a god of them and just as a person knows and feels himself [Music] what is the primary driving force that makes him alive it's the energy and the force of the soul validated there's two concepts listen this is very important there is the overall recognition that there is a force that makes me alive but that doesn't get me the force is godly as a force i think i told you i recall about 25 years ago or so i was walking with a college student home from rabbi ferris yehuda ferris who joins us and i know he's the shleak of berkeley california such a special year and we're walking home to his house and a college student that was i think was a girl who was walking along and i started talking to her and somehow the discussion is about god so i said so do you believe in god she says no god no i don't know if they got i don't know if there's a god so i said to do you believe in a force yes a force yes you believe in an energy oh yes but god khashoggi no you know in other words fool force energy god it's all the same but what we're learning here is in a way it's not the same that's my point it's not the same because that student is demonstrative of what we're learning here there's a force there's an energy but i don't know where it comes from and i don't know how holy it is it's kind of part of a natural phenomenon plato and aristotle i believe i'm not a philosopher but from what i was told they believe that as well they believe that while the person is alive there's a force and an energy that makes them live when they die they don't believe in immortality of the soul because they never believe that the soul is godly they believe that the soul is a force associated with the mind so when the mind goes the force goes that's what it ever says here in the parentheses that more than just believing and then unders that more than understanding that it's a force that gives life to the body it's it a person comes to the realization a jew who meditates and reflects [Music] that this force isn't just a force it's godliness and as soon as you say it's godliness it's eternal and that's what plato and aristotle did not recognize and disagreed with because their version of a force was uh aspect of humanity of nature and that's why the frida keraba adds here this is from other my modern of course beginning with the altered it's not enough to use meditation and reflection to come to a conclusion that there's a force in the world that makes the world go as as that's a beginning but it's not adequate because if if that's the end all of your meditation and your understanding then you don't come to the conclusion that the world is is is is created by the creator who's supernatural yudkevkay or in the rebels words there's the there's two parts to the gulf there's the outer the body and there's the highest of the body without associating that highest to holy cous so and the rabbit says that through avoider this is very it's a few short words here but it's loaded i'm telling you through avoid it through working and hurting and putting effort in your meditation who mortgage you will actually feel in a conscious way that the vitality and the force that sustains you is not just a bodily force a natural force but it's early course it's godliness meditation you know there are different systems level of meditation years ago rabbi arya kaplan oliver sholem wrote a book jewish meditation and it was very popular and it helped a lot of people i'm not convinced that i and i love robert kaplan's works i mean he's a genius i'm not convinced that it he went he went kind of to the depth to the end because his training was more impressive i mean he dabbled in khabad how could you not dabble but i'm not sure that at the end he he understood that the deep the deepest meditation to impact the person in a way where the person gives up of themselves and realizes that he himself is only nature and it's all about the supernatural that comes through this meditation and it's not you don't have to be a bad person to have this meditation you can be any any any type of heat it's open for everyone but it's the content and the mechanism and the and and the particular thought process that ultimately leads a person to the realization that it's a lacus and i heard this bjergsen from mashpeem when i discussed with them this idea of meditation this was the nutshell and it's not an easy nutshell it's a very it's a very uh difficult avoider because leaving velva leaving the arena of nature and mind to the arena of godliness is night and day the jump from segal to elekus is like yashmiyan i say like yeshmiah it it it's two different worlds and and the qasida says it here that through avoider through working hard with your mind a person can come to a point where he ultimately lets go of the mind and allows the elykus to become who he is and and if you think about this then you say how many hasidim how many if the hashem really really came to this recognition in their lifetime then you understand why lubavitchers aren't quick to complement and give accolades and really believe in this person or that person that they're exotic you know in the world we live in everyone's exotic and everyone's abandoning everyone is good and everyone's holy that's common talk but real real avoid this hashem is is is unique let's continue i listen there were sydney that that worked himself to this this this isn't your innocence only or ever no i disagree if that's what you mean i disagree no it's shy for you and i you're innocent depending on how much avoid this hashem and avoid this and his bonniness we do it can it can overtake us um that's my understanding of siddhis i know yesterday i was talking to a a professor a firm professor who learned in yeshiva and is very knowledgeable and he said about someone else who we were talking about he said that the person had add or adhd which is in the brain and therefore they cannot control themselves as i said well that contradicts what the al qaeda says and he didn't answer me i guess he believes that the altar ebb is wrong which is fine but i don't i believe the alternate is right i believe that the mind over matter can at least control can at least control and tame the the the the leve to a certain degree now the alternate teaches in tanya the urge is always there that i agree with but the control of the urge the maya shall it so the counter argument to that is that's when someone has a mayak that's functioning but when you're in an addictive state or he calls it an add or adhd state you can't control your left because your mayak is not functioning so there's no mayak to be shall at allah live therefore the late is out of control yes you're innocent you know that the status is it might actually come from from the middle yeah let's continue yes after the parenthesis the fourth fifth line the haguf biatsuma yena the body itself of all isn't anything at all the proof is in the pudding volvo when the soul leaves the body hagam shi yesh nam kali vodon although all the limbs of the air um nevertheless the eye doesn't see vietnam and the mouth can't speak et cetera he is dead the body is dead hare what does this prove boy what is the primary aspect of the body who cares it in the world the primary thing is the energy and the vitality that sustains the world just as in the small world the primary thing is the energy and the vitality and it can make so too it's in the big roof that what's the primary aspect of the big goof i.e the world it's the highest the energy of hashem that's the main thing now he goes is recognized and observable in actuality in all creatures commissioner as explained elsewhere at great length there's a concept going to stop here just to say because tomorrow will continue it's a new new idea and other people will come to murmur muhammad that this idea is one of the most fundamental ideas in chabad citizen here we have in about 10 lines but there are pages upon pages of this concept in lakota and and each of their obeying's my modern this is a fundamental nakuda and i heard from rabbi picarski in tel aviv that there was a fabregan in the early 1970s and abhyol khan was forbranging and he took a little high him and and it was udall of nissan it was rebecca moletus and he was so animated that he started to he took his knuckle and he was banging in his forehead here and he said we have to learn hasidis until this physical forehead will understand god you understand that's and that's what you all can't you know but each of us there's learning and there's learning there's governing and there's governing there's a void and there's an avoider and that's the the govaldige of of hasidis that it keeps you on your toes it to to harvard to have harovanya means diligence effort in understanding the misogyny the ideas as as as as you know they say in america it's uh what do they call it um bread and butter or the you know whatever you know i'm saying it it's like whatever we eat and whatever we it comes to us natural the same way we should understand siddhas okay everyone have a great day um we'll learn tomorrow as i get bye-bye
