Maamar Kol - Rebbe Raayatz #1: Attaining True Long Life - Daily Simple Thought during Shema

page page 291 so just as a beginning you know that tonight is you based tamils and you give thomas the following day it's the day when our author rabbi yitzchak when he was liberated from his death sentence and his jail sentence and the chabad we don't say both tomorrow monday tuesday and wednesday beijing thomas although he got the news on your base thomas he wasn't actually liberated until you get gimmel thomas because of the the officers were closed there was a holiday or sort of swords etc so it's appropriate that we learn another reminder of his and uh as a follow-up to this mimer which we just learned which is a very important reminder to use in our avoidance hashem so this my metoo called mine is another classic i'm learning with you now like classic my morim of of the previous rabbit that when i was a a young bucker 16 17 these were the my morals that we learned because they were they they lent themselves to better understanding because we were still very uh new to hasidis but as i learned them with you now i could see that there's so much depth both in khasid hashem and the lesson for us all is that it's important to re-learn things that you learned when you were younger because the way you'll learn those same things now will be with a very very different perspective and you'll have so much more understanding and in a way you'll really understand it then you'll say ah that's what it meant aha that's what it meant so it's a worthwhile investment in relearning things that you that you looked at when you were younger so let's begin 201 says whoever is mighty he lengthens the word the mother says when you say hashem and you stretch out the word your years your days and your years will be stretched out will be longer you know when that's true over dollars if you put the emphasis on the knowledge which people make a mistake wrong you'll see soon but the the arrikus has to be prabhaja says on the dolly of a hood and it's a little hard because it is finished that's wrong it's like almost not capable of stretching it out but that's considered saying it a little longer than the norm okay [Music] as long as it doesn't swallow the fest because you could go and all of a sudden you don't even hear the face you have to hear the hess and and when you say the thought you you emphasize the balance okay that's the good morning broca's comes along to feed the canada club and he asks a question whatever wants to understand what's this business of lengthening i mean you know we don't find such an idea in tata and yet the mother says this what's the idea number two what's the idea of having long days and long years now right here you have to say to yourself rabbit what do you mean i want to live long i want to live to i want to live long so the rapper knows that too the rabbit's question is what's the arikas what does it mean to have a long day you know the expression i had a long day implies i'm tired and exhausted and i want to just sit in the couch and and chill out with it with a nice iced tea so what is it so lengthening a long day is much it it's not just about a physical thing so that's the best question what is the spiritual counterpart what's the spiritual idea of vari the mother says if you're mighty if you lengthen in the word you get long days and long years what's the connection between the two abracadabra it's not abracadabra like we discussed last week about the gematrias everything has to make sense so here too he will you learn a piece of gemara the goddess this is a gomorrah but you have to ask yourself what you learned this good morning right it's stories of the gamora stories of tomorrow have to make sense too it's not you know nonsense it's not just you know i have nothing better to say and i want to just give an easy verb so i give you a story it's not that way we we speakers and you know and darshanim and all that that's the way we operate but the gomorrah and the sages of the daughter if they indeed connect this idea of lengthening to having long days and long years there must be a connection between echoed and the idea of long days and the crevice question is subsequently what's the connection my shares is clear hello is it clear yet before we go on i want to make sure you guys understand the questions the questions aren't just questions yes yes what spiritual spiritual count of earth it's yummy as opposed to just simply i mean the physical obviously is it's a very interesting question actually i've never actually thought about that before what would be the encounter about that and and and myself what's the connection to and why through a hug if you if you put the emphasis and the the arecas on what does one have to do with the other yes sir you see you honestly you want to say something you know [Music] uh the questions for help remember but it was also for a long day for me i'll deliver but he said he doesn't want a long day to be able to study and um well the the the actual the you're alluding to the story where the horse's name was that you could seal of a city called lept [Music] and before the altitude was able to give him the bracha he said but rabbit remember if the bracha means i should live long as a as a as a boar no thank you i don't want such a bracha i don't want to go into it now but that story needs to be there's also a tremendous insight into that story i mean could you imagine yay you come to the la babachireva who's the altar of our time right and the rebels are willing to give you a bracha for long life and all of a sudden you put conditions on the brother no no one would do that first of all who are we to tell a lever how to give us a broker i did the whole story doesn't make doesn't begin to make sense if we knew that sadiq and sadiq is blessing us foreign we would run on all four we would run and we just we would take it so how is it that this hostage gave the altered condition for the broker you're innocent did you ever wonder about that does it makes okay and the answer is that what the cushion wasn't giving him a condition he wasn't he was te he was just voicing and saying redder living like a boar is not a blessing it's a curse i came to you for a blessing i didn't come to you for a curse so therefore it's tantamount to not cut not getting a blessing at all you made no offer to me it's like sometimes someone gives you an offer and it's totally misplaced and it's and and more so it's no good for you so it's not that the person gave you a blessing but it didn't give you a good blessing he gave you a curse that to him life without torah life without avoiding hashem is a poor it's a curse so he he's not giving down today the condition he's he's echoing but you're giving me a blessing remember he's saying to him i'm your host i'm a servant of hashem and to me anything less than living like a yid with torah and all that is a curse it's a very very deep perspective okay back to reminder because we'll never go further let's go further [Music] very good very good hello very good very good point thank you let's go further the letters of the word echoed right this follows along with what we learned earlier in the previous reminder about letters and words the combination of letters so whatever says here you look at the word echoed and it has three letters alef dallas is in the darling over [Music] and emphasize the lengthening of dali and what's the warning [Music] make sure not to swallow that [Music] abby when is the auricus of the ballot important as long as you don't swallow the quest what does that mean another again here look at the way that happens look at the way that ever analyzes i'm fascinating the way it takes a little simple piece of gamora that every student and every yeshiva worldwide would learn and gloss over and go further and it takes apart these small sides and look at the last question that he has is navashi is saying that even if you emphasize the dalit but you swallow the hess you don't get you don't get long life in other words you have to do two two things at one time don't swallow the chest and lengthen the darling and that by the way when you learn the gemara i when you learn the gemara avi that's not the way you learn the gomura and normally when you learn this gemara it's like two separate ideas hello right when you learn this kimono says emphasize the dalit and avashi says another point don't swallow the rest what the rebels doing here he's bringing them together and he's saying that one depends on the other if you if you lengthen the ballot while you swallow the fast you're lengthening on dalit is gornish is nada ephes very beautiful very interesting how he looks at this piece of gamora you want to say something i mean will we address lamisa this the the question that the gemara is sort of listed in the gemara how do you do that with the dollar to be married the dollar when you can't do it physically well you can i just do what i just [Music] together or that's the rarest kiddish that's the rabbis kiddish listen i i don't i didn't learn the commentaries over there but i believe it's in other words when you learn the gemma that's what i'm saying it's like two separate ideas you see it's two different ones and and let me say this even if it's not if that's what ravashi had in mind but that ever really you know spells it out nope so i maybe i shouldn't say it's the reverse kiddish but the way he puts it the way he puts it down here to me seems like he's really you know bringing it out clear okay fine [Music] finished okay so these are kind of the questions and now we start we're going on the journey of this saying of the mother whoever lent is this follows something that was said previously in that price the sages it is until the end of the of this sentence of that one has to have kavanagh intent of the heart you have to make your heart be attentive to the shema comes along so in other words the law is not going to make it in other words if you say envy and you don't have not you still fulfill your obligation of shema now the next the rest of the paragraph pretty much is a very long like parenthesis about challenging this idea of kavanagh so let's let's let's get so i'm just giving you an outline okay he's gonna he's gonna end his question towards the end of the paragraph but it's a very long one so just bear with that we're with us it ever says since [Music] there is also kavona of the mayak of the mind the cavones are left and there are two separate things the cavanaugh of the mind he has saw the secrets it's intellectual comprehension it is the exertion of the mind to comprehend and understand an intellectual concept of until until he stands upon it meaning he dwells on it [Applause] and he understands it with all those details that's kavanaugh okay doesn't mean meditation in the sense of you know meditation that we know kavanagh means using your brains your cycle to understand all the details now the cavaliers are live what is cavanaugh cavanaugh of the heart who lohavi it is to bring one's good comprehension from potential to actual through good needles through good behavior and accurate character that's what he says is here that's not kavanagh in other words avi is not about the brain cavones alev is about making the heart follow the brain be impacted by the brain and actually concretizing it you have to look and find any and all no good meters umikos gave me the maguna and needless to say not not only if it's not good but it's disgusting to uproot it and to remove it familiar language regarding pesach that there shouldn't be a drop of humans be seen and be found that ebb employs the same wordage for amida lotova and amida maguna get rid of any trace of this it shouldn't be seen and it it should be to plant within himself good meat and proper conduct all this hilar is kavanagh so right here you see that kavanagh is not is not you know is is not small change kazona salev is a very active proactive activity to get rid of me this loyalty voice and to plant within yourself mrs titus right it reminds me of the concept and psychology of emotional intelligence what he's talking about okay uh since i'm not familiar with what you mean would you please elaborate well just um for a long time in the history of psychology psychology was really measured by cognitive function by my mental faculties and in recent decades has emerged the idea that there are multiple kinds of intelligences and one of them is an emotional intelligence ability to recognize your emotions the ability to to recognize emotions and other sensitivities of that nature but but but as part of part of the mind emotional intelligence i mean i think that uh you know historically the idea the these two kinds of qualities of a human being were that were poetically described in the mind as the mind of the heart since he's using the idea of kavanagh here linking the tuba this this one kavanagh saleh sounds sounds analogous to to what psychologists called emotional intelligence and by the way who who was the father of that thinking do you know name i think the main name in emotional intelligence was somebody named howard gardner okay thank you a big person who talks about it a lot today is daniel goldman oh man okay i used to be the editor of psychology today magazine that's required thank you thank you very much okay right so kavod and this is what we mean kavanagh lays the intent of the heart le chavenes libre to make your heart attentive in other words it's again it's not just it's an avoider you understand i want to make this clear so you guys you haven't understood we're not talking about a meditation we're not talking here about uh you know uh uh you know just you know sit with your feet crossed or close your eyes and cry or laughs no we're talking about thinking what me that i have is not nice what me that is nice how do i get rid of it so that's having a sleepway make your heart be attentive and and to be sensitized to meet this low toy voice and meet this toy voice and and because it's coming from the the cavones now is a very very healthy left and this and this yes yes we're going to be directing that the heart those good directions of the mind right excellent exactly the word the happiness libra to direct the heart the liebherr pauling it says the heart expands extends itself expands itself spreads itself to all sides to the blood no so so so too spiritually the hobby called me the toy villa mamish it is the heart that will bring a good character trait to all over to to act to be actualized this is to comprehend and understand type of next page 202 right you know the three types so he brings one of the our god the location what does it mean our god our strength and our highest our vitality is hashem who havaya yudke bufke hashem and lykenu not that what is our highest yani nature but our real highest is the supernatural represented by the uk bufky let's see how he says it inside what does the word elokim mean the word allah came and it brings up and the mighty of the land he took so what do we see that the word elokim which is associated with the word elay means might strength [Music] every item every physical matter all of matter all of material what is its kayak it's nature the way hashem creates everything in its natural form that's its kayak so what are we saying can't go further the imran yet here in the shema listen to this guy this is a revolutionary we're saying our kayak is not tava nature but rather yud kevke what a fiduce right what's the nature of of of a bed to sleep on normally imagine you say the nature of the bed is that it was created by god the life force and the and all of that i mean that's not the that's not the norm and the rapper says i know but when it come that's that's why we are not only recite saying words we're learning the words and we have to meditate and think hear israel hear ye id listen pay attention hashem allocate them first if we get cut off the battery is low and i don't want to change it now i don't know where it is so please forgive me so let's continue so he says hashem what's the real kayak it's [Applause] [Music] because nature itself is limited to time and space to space to time and space [Music] of something that's limited by spells space is limited so too regarding time the overlapping lawsuit right time is limited by past present the future is past present and future all like one full of my living in that it's above space and above time transcendence the zelda melo keno and this is the real meaning of trouble located tomorrow morning cleveland when you dive i want you to stop and i want you to think about this this is a very important thing about every time you say and if and if you need to dive in earlier a little bit take start five minutes give yourself five minutes three minutes to think about this thought here because this will uh ingraining you and do it every day the rest of your life every single day and every time you say shiman in the morning take a minute two or three to think about hashem ellicano and finally you'll see all of a sudden you will realize and feel that a shameless so even when things are not that great hospital and issues and problems let's continue and he says israel that the nature of a jew [Music] is drawing down working and drawing down the transcendence the youth came off game which transcends nature into nature hashem who is the real and that is hashem and this answers this whole concept puts the perspective that we as eden can do anything and everything there's nothing that can stop us because we have the youth we are youth kevoski because normally the the issue is nature and in in addition to nature you get a glimpse in the supernatural that episode's just the opposite the real truth is that we're jude kevoski and the nature is only secondary you hear that were yesterday war war strategies at a marine base in america and they were discussing various wars and how how the general came to the wall and one guy mentioned that the six day war so he said the general who was teaching is that the six day war was a miraculous war that god fought and we don't teach god over here that's good yes he will no i just uh that was good that was good anyway thank you so um i would like to hear report tomorrow how your hashem allocating went in your smile you know that i'm gonna ask you it's about you based thomas it's a great day to discuss that and that's what got the phoenician about yoni if i feed the gravel would have not lived with hashem alcano he would never make it out i promise you but he was a person who lived with hashem and cain that we got out and it's for us in our way this is this is what what'd you say we can discuss it tomorrow at the link yes bye bye
