Maamar Korov #3 - How can I overcome past issues? Power of Neshama

which city in germany okay let's learn page 211 so uh in yesterday's year uh that ever took a piece of tanya that we learned chapter one and tanya the end of chapter one of tanya and he cites the arizona that every year has neshama is two souls not just one because the posix says venus it doesn't say venus writes this implies that every year has two two souls but you look that up in don you'll see exactly the exact language he changes from the word nishamos as the as it appears in the pussac to the facilities which is the language in the tanya uh i i just it does stormed i mean whether that's also the language of the arizona i would venture of vital i would venture to say not but it has to be looked up it would be interesting to see if the alta rep is the one that makes the change from the chamois to the fascists already the reply and vital did it that would be interesting uh maybe uh hilla will you have a chance look up in the exitus move eras because they i'm sure point out this difference see if they give a citation uh on this difference to earlier you mean in chapter one of tanya yes yes chapter 1 the last half of the chapter and the the reason why delta brings the difference between the shamos and the fascists again in english we translated the same words souls two souls but in the hebrew there's a very specific difference based on kabul and khasidis and the difference is that the nephesh the word nephesh denotes the vivifying activating power that gives kayak to the body in a practical way whereas the word neshama refers to the more spiritual aspect of the soul that is its essence so we have neshama referring to the essence more of the essence might say more of the essence and nephesh referring more to the practical side of the the animating the body you all know that there are five levels to the summer this is brought in kabbalah nephesh the acronym of which is and the general explanation one second please the general explanation is nephesh refers to myself to action [Music] willpower and pleasure that we're talking about where is it from where's the puzzle from um i believe you look it up i i i i believe is isn't it ef it's not leave yakov do you know you could look it up one two three but uh in safari or whatever i i think it's ev i think okay oh actually if so i'm not sure i'm not sure yeah it is so are you just are you saying that this the the the that positive is quoted in the first chapter of tanya yes okay and the quote taken from sarah kadusa from vital remember you asked me about that right so it's from there it's impossible okay thank you thank you so you heard hillary the answer it's a and you're shy you got it okay so and why does the alternate yoni why does he change i i just explained to you that the fact is either he or the raphaim vital changes language he changes from the word used in the positive the question is why and the answer is because the here the altarebin chapter one italian the frida karebe here in this mimer cites it in this paragraph is looking to explain the the driving force of a soul associated with a body he's not talking about the soul in its own state so since he's looking to explain the driving force of the body and everything that comes along with the body i.e character the middays therefore he says shaheen stay in a fascist you all heard me understand that's why he makes the change if velvet if he was talking about the aspect of the neshama as it's in its own right in its own place in its own domain and idea he would keep the word neshama but being he's talking about a nephesh and an ephesian keys he's talking about that aspect of the soul of the summer that vivifies and activates the person in certain behaviors therefore he changes from the shamans to the fascists so that's one one important idea that it that we that when we learn hasidis many times you won't find this distinction i'd say most times but in tanya at the end in this section chapter one it's very clear the distinction so yes overall when you learn on my mechasidis or maybe other and also other places in tanya the the the words are kind of interchangeable nephesh and the shaman the shrub fish right well in other words moishe why don't we call the nephesh of the kiss nisha melo kiss or or mahaba hamas we don't use the word nusrama for elo kiss and bahamas we use the word fish yes masha i just want to ask because you know this is very fresh in my mind when we were at the o'hall yesterday so we said the monolash so that's something that is used a lot in the manulation and i was actually asking myself the same question yesterday right um [Music] are you referring to the uh to that that trilla that we say before we read the pond the pigeon yeah you know you're not you're not you're not referring to the section of zoar that they have which we read later if you get to that no no right right so i i don't know the exact wording now but i believe i i i know i think i know what you're talking about but the wording exactly i don't remember again there you're standing at at at the top at the oil or for that matter any oil and you you want to bring the the tsaddik should bring your tillers to cottage barcode to help you practically so so the word nephesh i think is a very you know nephesh implies the practicality that's that's the point the summer defines and refers more to the spirituality so in other words you have the spirituality within spirituality and you have the physicality or the in in the spirituality so when you're standing and asking for the foo for shidduchim for you know success and business and learning and you want to you want to identify with that aspect of the topics the summer so that the conduit is the right one because if you go through the wrong conduit it might take you a longer time to get an answer which by the way is one of the reasons why sometimes we ask ourselves i darwin i must follow i pray and the brother is taking a long time to come if you're honest with yourself it could be you use the wrong channel that's why you have to be very very keen and sharp and and to make sure that you use the right channel for the right broker yes there is an overall bracha okay but you know from overall brokers we get overall results which is general we want as we say in good old english in the bank we want it you know exactly for what we need right now we also have stories in ghazal and in in in and in jewish literature and lore that that sometimes we ask for a certain bracha and abhishe who knows best basically gives us another broccoli not in the area that we asked for because he knows best so that's another issue that that's already a metaphysical issue of reincarnation and gilgal and and and other aspects and we know the stories you know whether it's whoever said to them what would you you know you want to have you came for children you came for panosa would you rather have that or children if they were childless you know there are such mices and and the idea if you take it out of the story realm and you look at it from the philosophical realm it makes a lot of sense because because the my second hero because the the the idea of tapping into the right energy at the right time is a very very important thing i've said this many times and i i will say it again and again to you hashem is the auspicious time you know the auspicious time when i whatever i should get at what time and what we down for is that we should have this horse the merit we say the mateovo every morning before we dive in to tap into the ace russell but the ace ruxin is a very very specific thing and that's why the story of course which was also shared in 1953 purim where the rebels said you know though those that want a bracha for ashirus for wealth she raised their hands and only three khasid raised their hand and the rabbi said afterwards you were all shaytim foolish hasidim because there was an ace rotten and because of your hassiduskite you were too embarrassed to raise your hands money you're asking money to thousand better to learn better you know and and the rapper said that and those three khasid that raised their hands in front of everyone became very very wealthy we know who they are we know the real estate that they own and we know the token that they give or some of it that's a fact you know so there you know when there's an ace ruxin don't squander it you have to have the cycle now i i the flip side i want to say is where most of the chassis were coming from was from a healthy place although the rabbit called them foolish says that and has to say that and it's true but from their perspective their modesty didn't let them raise their hand it wasn't that they're you know but that so so why is that ever calling them foolish hasidim because not every day does reveal to you what's going on in heaven and here it's purim and the rebel reveals uh actuals 1958 sorry not 1953 i think anyway the the rebel reveals kind of that there's an opportunity so put aside your own hasidiskai and modesty but again asadi a rebber says that the the hosted if he feels this humility he has a right to say i i don't i don't want i don't feel it you know so i don't see it as a contradiction but that's what happened yes hillel sorry two things when i found the reference uh that you said so so this line is an exact quote from the tanya and then i want to say what the jose de smuguera so it's a direct so that's a direct quote from the tanya no no i know and my question was if it's a direct quote from sharokidusho does not seem to be the case no because the quotes the quotes end yeah does not seem to be the case right that's what i thought um but but uh the casinos explains the the the change as follows stay on the shamosa the two shamans that dwell within a person each one um that uh will be is as a complete nephesh unto itself with its own defining powers like a full body of impulses and senses and talents the coyotes as kayavka divide that it's like take over take over and rule the person okay right so i just thought it was it sort of was a good explanation that i wanted to share with you a quick story on this the idea of the aceretzane that when i met the strep of arabah shrita of yerushalayim lives in gevacioul i told him that i was a stratton or a nicole he told me the following story he said that once one of the rebbers of region visited the strattner and the strength of them were famed for um for being kind of amongst the poor qasidam so the original says to him why don't you do something to help out your people he said i try but but what can i do let me show you what happens so he goes outside in the basement he gives a clap and he says that now is an ace red sun if anybody wants the review anything you want from shamayim is open so so all the qasim run to bring uh to bring a committal and and the and the rebels there look at the committal but not one of them was for wealth that one of them was for anything megaspheres they were overlooked he said what can i do [Applause] yeah i remind me also when the rabbit wasn't well after his heart attack in 1978 so there was a very big dispute amongst the hasidim several years later whether they and he started to give out dollars later and did different things whether you should stand online and take his time up or make the line go quicker by less many less people going up to get the dollars and this was a heated the heated debate amongst khasid you know and i i i saw some very prominent hasidic jews they went up and they argued when a tadik gives take it take it don't don't don't play your khasi this guy and others felt this is you know their it's his health have mercy on his health why you make him stand at his feet after a long day of the old not eating anything and just drinking you know why you're doing that and it was it was an ongoing um an ongoing thing but the rabbit from his perspective i could tell you numerous times he he he criticized sometimes the secretaries sometimes somehow why you playing these games and not allowing people sometimes they tried cutting the line off so that people no more and somehow there ever found out about it then he really chatted them you know what what what right you have to do that they're coming to me not to you you know and and the the the case whoever it was you know didn't say anything but the answer was obvious we care for your health yes yes yakov you know different times of the year you know different times so if we team up this keenness that you're talking about of how to channel abraham what we need and it's that a lot of sin so you've got a triple header absolutely absolutely right the the what yaakov was saying is true that you know there there are certain queens set size in our calendar based on hazal that our aceretzen just but i was talking more about you know the other times and even then i do want to say this yaakov that even if something is an ace ruxin it's an ace ruxin if you're in the rutson if you're not in the russian it could be in these trucks and and it's it's a waste it's not it's not shot automatic there's no automatics in this kite you know there's no automatics you know okay what i don't understand that we have the famous story there's a guy who goes up to aaron and he puts down the olympics and he says hashem you you massage the olympia pretty much feels i don't know okay so see that that what you're referring to and the famous story the bell shrimp with the basham the response that one of the sadiq who hired someone to be the baltilla and he he had the kavanaugh soul written down pierre and then he lost the paper and he blew schreifer anyway and and and the rapper said to him it was the holiest and the best blowing australia i ever heard but he said rabbi i forgot the covenant he said exactly it wasn't from a script that came from your heart that's the my limit that's the transcendence you know on that there's no shyness there's no questions uh you gotten to the neighborhood with his full heart anytime anywhere he's get it's getting in we're not that's a different target that's a different experience i'm talking about not that target you know so yes you're trying to be a scientist yeah yeah yeah yeah you could say that yeah kind of figuring yeah yeah it's it's uh yeah like being a scientist yeah along the lines of being more calculated the more uh you know figure figuring out what's the right time to get in like truest morning it says right you should go in the morning when there's the the the the the threat of khasid shines in the world then you should go into the mix for them that's like a scientist it's and it's true it it says in that kabbalah you believe that it says it says but that's a calculation that's like preparing this for the schreifer with the carvanes and and i would say that both are needed like you said a triple header you know or all three are needed you know what i'm saying it's not that one contradicts the other but there's no question that the the the highest the best and is the uncalculated heart complete surrender today you know you talked to the bister face-to-face direct and no no what conditions whatsoever not nothing beats that and and and we have numerous hazal and stories well there are blossoms what do you need more the gemara in the book he did and the mother says that uh he did true god and he cried and he screamed and he died on the spot that rebbe says he went from being the biggest sinner to into ghanaian what's the explanation for what instantaneously in a moment what happened because he tapped in and that moment somehow to this unconditional uh chuva that got him smack in so the the question is better than the answer the question is better than the answer and this and with this thought process it answers a lot of things at least i think you know like the story i've told you don't be shaking the hand of the murderer who's sitting in in in solidarity confinement in the los angeles jail and then when i shared the story with bala with with with uh balabat at charles schroeder in the los angeles young israel of of melrose they wanted to eat me up they were so upset with me how can you give a murderer of the the from the known as the israeli mafia how could you give them um your hand and the truth is i wasn't thinking i wasn't thinking about hashem that i wasn't thinking in other words i did it because it's genuine you see a year and i of course i didn't know but the way i'm saying is that there so so their question is a good question in logic in a sacral and like yaakov says in science it's a very good question what business do you have giving such a year to your hand when he's a a murderer but then there is beyond science so i think that this is that we're going to find a tangent a little bit from the text but it's a very important idea to to really understand when we deal with with ourselves with family with friends and and i saw this i saw this by my my father-in-law's relatives who were communists some of them communists and i saw the way they came to america and and he dealt with them like with the greatest love like a brother and sister and it amazed me because there was a certain level of connection that goes beyond all the sins and all the trouble and all the nonsense you know and that's a place we have to get to especially now where three weeks coming closer to the nine days you know the real obviously we throw around that were those words unconditional love unconditional love you know so really you practice it it's a very hard it's a very hard thing to practice at least for me it's a very hard thing to have unconditional love and to love anyone everyone because they're they're a yidd even if you disagree with them that that's that's an avoider it's a big avoidance so that's that's the lesson let's continue now page 211 the second paragraph is this is from tanya as well the second left that every it has is an actual divine part it's a part of of god of divinity as it says for a part of hashem amo is his nation meaning that every year who's part of the jewish nation has a helicos and now he says is a part of god we have a stick and yet is the word stick a stick get the part of godliness in ourselves from the name of god to the tetragrammaton the name of 26 uk as it says he blew within his nostrils a living soul and it's oh and also it says have blown within me and desire comments on that verse the one who blows who exhales it's coming from first inhaling it's coming from very deep within himself he exhales gives out this is all quoted in the second chapter of tanya in the beginning says it says i don't hear that kind of ends the citation from tanya chapter 2. now the freedom could have been elaborate as we see in actuality um in man's nature they ain't they might source you can't compare the the air that comes out from the from your heart commercial who be deeper by the coiled negan when you speak or when you sing a song you can't compare that with commercial might see heaven as it comes out liberty because enough of the quaker when you blow takes a lot more energy to exhale and blow why because it comes more from the anemias so we have by the way three stances available we have speaking we have singing and we have blowing speaking papa papa papa you can speak all day you won't get tired just speak speak speak singing you can sing also a lot not as much as you get tired after a while but not as much as speaking and to go to blow that knocks you out pretty quickly [Music] exhales and it comes out when he blows with kayak this is the muscle the parable yiddish souls he's explaining now more of the that section in tanya nishmas israel the jewish souls all over marshall where do they come from from god's thought you remember yesterday we spoke about the difference between thought and speech the altar ripper in chapter one cites the concept that neshamas you jewish souls don't come from the deeper of hashem from god's speech metaphorically speaking if they come from god's thought just as a son a child it comes from the brain of the father metaphorically speaking this must call you soul the soul of [Music] hashem has and is the virtue of we cannot fathom and understand god so in other words god's is not our that's what it means he is hakeem from the word but not in the type of that's understandable because weak right we we understand that's not the type of god has yes hillary i think that's a direct quote from the um [Music] with the worlds of creation formation an action we call it because it lends itself to comprehension by the creatures of the worlds of creation formation and action but from the world of atsii was the first and highest of the four worlds he like we call that type of lawyer no knowledge beyond knowledge creatures i.e from creation ex nilo cannot fathom and understand and relate to that with their cycle with their intelligence each and their level um and it's from that place of silus must call the source of every soul every jewish soul and that's why that's why we we compare the the connection between the summer of a jew and hashem to breathing to blowing because it's so deep within and it so just as the difference motion between speaking singing and and blowing breathing so too is the difference between the souls of jews and all other neshamas and all other creations forget about non-jews angels who everyone says i have an angel helping me take your angel i don't need an angel i got a soul i got in the shama so yeah okay you know angels help us at times and it's it's always good i like what i still like what you said you know the triple header it's always good to have an angel on your side but we have something greater than an angel on the sharma i can't hear you hello you're saying things but i can't hear you i don't know okay invited okay we'll stop here we'll stop here visehu will continue tomorrow mr sham bottom of 211. any questions any guess my yeah rabbit dog would you say just basically we just said it i've heard this many times but before could you just elaborate collaborate on them for a second when we say that the shama has me and that's another aspect but it's not what we're talking about right now no i'm not really sure what that means exactly okay is that relevant it it's not relevant here it's relevant but not relevant here but um basically just briefly anything that's a creation or or in the language of the free the cadet anything that lends itself to understanding is by definition um what's the word unbelievable by definition um self ending if you have a beginning you have an end if you have an end you have a beginning yes nilo means there's a creation so then from that perspective has a beginning so it has an end if it has an end it's not eternal but in the summer the yi it comes from the silus which in this scenario means it comes from eternity it comes from a place that's beyond creation that's what i'm i'm explaining i should do that's why we could that's why only the neshama is eternal and by the way this also i don't know if you had to share when we spoke about the difference between plato aristotle and the jewish belief this taps right into that whole discussion why did they why do they conclude that when the body dies the soul goes with it because to begin with their version of a soul is not silas their version of the soul is from bree and down so when you talk about breein down when the creation ends i.e when the body dies the soul goes with it because to begin with their type of soul is not the soul of the altar evan explaining here in tanya which me which is which transcends meaning it never to begin with it wasn't a creation do you understand it's an amazing thought do you think about it that hashem put within us an aspect of himself which is creator in other words our nusrama is not creation it's creator and that khalic of creator he put within our within out within us it's an amazing thought an amazing thought to think that i'm walking around with a par a part of hashem not not just metaphorically speaking in other words that the shama that's that's why we call it velvet and says this is of the outer river the word mamish is a citation from a verse in eof that's not the altar that's a pussak but the altar adds one word mamish what does mamish mean it's tangible that that very nishama that's a helicopter hashem in his infinite wisdom nobility puts it into us in a way that it's so tangible in the world we that we live in that's a hidden and only only a creator can do it so we are the creator put himself as a creator within us that's that's my indeed and that and that's why we can we can do anything and everything there's no such a thing that a yi can't do anything it can do everything why because if you're looking at the jew as a creation you're right i'm limited i can't do it but if you understand that a yid is creator as creator is within creation the creator can do anything so hashem gave me a kayak to do anything for the sake of a god chevra i know it's some deep stuff but it's important you know this is siddhis to understand this because the more you understand it you so many things in in your life will open up and and become clear so spend some time think about it re-listen to the share we'll see everyone tomorrow bye-bye thank you take care bye-bye
