Maamar Vkibel 1927 #11 Selfish Faith is Preliminary

we're on page 203 the mymath that we've been learning my grandmother agree yeah the shears dedicated to the yachts the in the summer of yoni's grandmother with the name uh so 2 203 we're learning the mime of the qibla that the previous videos the 6th said in 1927 in moscow and the theme of the mimer is to understand what is a motion abandon of a generation what are the qualities of a nation are being of a generation and why is that important because moisture was the most rare thing of his generation mordechai had sadik was the maishira banu of his time of purim so who gave the yiddan this kayak the strength to overcome the gazeta the decree it was the masjid albano of the generation of purim which was murkhayat sadiq and that's what he's called maracai hayahoodi what is the element of monsieur beno that we talk about what is the specialty the specialty is that he is roya nemon and that's a chazal a medes moshe rabbein is called the faithful shepherd so the simple way of understanding that is that moisture bainu you know fee it gives uh he himself is a loyal shepherd has nothing to do with us the yidden the rebel the mimer based on his predecessor's teachings beginning with the altered and the following success of lubavitch say no it's not only that he was a maishira bainu a faithful shepherd but he actually [Music] instilled within every single yid faith he made every single jew a faithful shepherd because he teach he taught he teaches us and how and what a munna really is what faith is real is really all about and how to access it and this is the meaning of the verse you shall feed faith why do we have to feed faith the only faith is natural i believe so this says if that's your faith your faith is really shallow the story that they say over is that you came to uh lebanese and was arguing with him about the existence of god atheist agnostic believer and this person blackmon heaven for friend concluded that there is no creator god forbid so the rabbi told him if my understanding of god would be like your understanding i would also conclude there is no god but because i have a very different understanding what god is and what god is not and your understanding of god is like ridiculous so therefore your conclusion is there is no creator that this anecdote story anecdote is really real when we learn this mimer when you understand faith just as a shallow experience and you don't know if someone says explain faith to me articulate faith to me and you can't then you need to go back and do your homework you have you have to re read and restudy jewish writings from rambam to rabbenus gone to the kuzari to hasidis and you'll have a better understanding of what emunah is and what a moon is not in habakkuk this has been all capsulized and summarized in its writings of the seven rebellion of lubavitch because it's a mainstay in avoidance hashem i always say why is it that certain people are religious and certain people aren't religious so many times people say well it's because of circumstances they weren't raised in a religious home or there was hypocrisy in the in the in the home all kinds of arguments i believe that at the end of the day an intelligent person and we're intelligent people it's a choice that is made by individual and it boils down down to whether you really believe or you don't believe a do you believe there is a creator and do and even if you believed as a creator you believe that the tata and the titan vis-a-vis the jewish religion for a jew is authentic ms exactly the way it is and if you don't come to that conclusion you don't believe that of course putting on blackstrap straps on you on your arms and your head with boxes uh it looks very silly and is ridiculous i don't know if you guys heard but i could forward it to you michael savage is uh he's a jewish man and he's a prominent uh radio show host here at least something so something she said he's a wacko but whatever uh but it's very bright and just uh they just had a clip and someone sent it to me he speaks about filling about for five minutes and he says the world is so getting so nuts that he decided to go onto his porch and to think about god and religion as a true and he took out his villain that he he put on once in a blue moon you know and he decided to put on film again now every day i don't know how long it's going to last hashem would last but he explained he talks about it you're going to have to listen it's coming from michael savage not coming from from a guy in in lakewood or or in brooklyn or in your lions who's very secular and he speaks about the black straps and the boxes he says outwardly looks nuts and and there and and he says it goes back to belief in god so you're gonna ask of course if so why don't you become about the shuva and and and keep shabbos and mitzvahs that the the the faith by him is not yet been permeated inside every detail of his being in mr hashem it will but he he's on a path he's on a path so why am i saying this because it's amazing who teaches us what is faith and if you don't have a munna and realer not lip service or not the pressure and muno you know they say the story the the ladies that's your kipper and the zim and people are making pledges that called nidre and she says i'm very sick i'm dying i pledge a hundred thousand dollars give her passes and she says i live through it forget about i didn't really mean it what type of moon is that when you feel your life is in danger you make your pledge that that's that's that's faith that's that's that's that's ego it's about self that's not faith so we have to really understand what a muna is and this is a system that the balatanya set up in the second section of tanya yikood the gates of unity and faith where there he he deals with this issue of faith in god and he speaks about israel at one position and what does he say he says one is what we learned one is where there's a yesh and the yes is nullified to the i into god and one is to begin with there is no yeshua which we just explained in the last few years i don't want to go over it right now the point being that faith is not simple it's it's not a simple matter and if you ask i'm telling you you ask i don't care the average religious jew from jew from the biggest rush of shiva to the smallest you know simple person their faith they could just say over the word faith ten times one time more emphatic than the other but if you ask him what is it explain it talk about it it barely can tell you anything about it so the daltereba in in his my modern spends a lot of time and i mentioned this because when we learn these ideas and see this in our classes we try to explain them as best as possible it's not just to kind of because it says it in the mimer so we need to no it it gives us a better understanding of what god is and what god isn't and what a moon is and when we have that we understand what the motion of benue tribe is doing for us what what moshe did for the jews vayaminu bashem every day we say this they trusted they've had faith in god uh moshe why do you put the two an emotion his servant why do you put the two together as though they're equal you know one of the old old arguments of the misnom used to be it's gone but how can you equate a rabbit to god then how could you put him in one sentence and all of that no but hazal said it doesn't begin with the proscent of me no oh which is a conjunction and in moshe his servant in other words moshe his servant and belief in god are kind of the same how can you say that did you ever ask yourself that question when you're diving if not it's time to ask yourself that question i've been thinking about this for 50 60 years of my life well actually 50 to as long as i'm diving and i became cognizant of this verse from 15 years old or so i've tried every day i tried to what does this mean i used to spend time a long time thinking about this and what's the answer the answer is what says in the mimer at least one of the answers the answer is that if you understand what a moshe rabbenu is and what he does for the for the jew and for the jewish people yes he is the embodiment and the intermediary between hakodo and banaya's role and hashem has mercy on the world and on the jewish people and he says i give you and moshe are baner in every generation if you listen to him and learn from him and emulate him it's like emulating that that's not the siddhas quotes in chapter 2 of tanya so this is this is a very important part reason why we learned this mimer at this time because when purim came and purim is coming in a week from now or so we can have purim is coming and we rethink the miracles that happened and how we were saved that's cavaldi absolutely but it's much deeper it's much deeper if you understand this and you relate to it and you live with it you you will experience that in your life so those things that are cut that are difficult right now and we have difficulties and challenges in all aspects and if you live within munna you you you'll be fine you'll be very fine and you will go up i'm just thinking now i just saw before i came into this year a clip of hasidim dancing in 770 uh either in in 1970 no in 1985 86 when this forum would return to the library the rebels library and you see the the lawyer jerry i think show stack from philadelphia he was one of the main lawyers in in the case and he's dancing there with rabbi pinson from tunisia and rabbi raskin from morocco and rabbi garelick who just passed away and i'm making a clip on him imagine him in a few days from italy like these are the rebbe's original in the world not in the just in the states right and here's this lawyer the yarmulke has fallen off every two minutes from his head noticeably that you know he doesn't regularly wear yarmulker who knows if he's religious or not irrelevant and he's dancing with them in the most hasidic way in 770 with the vodka all around and see them dancing away the night and he's dancing there it's it's it's so moving and so inspiring and what is going on what's going on is as i said to myself i'm saying here all these yidden who literally gave their life for other jews you know how dangerous it was in the in the 50s and 60s to be in morocco only lebovaters who are like don't take no for an answer would do that no one else was there of course there were moroccan jews who lived there who were born there raised there but you didn't have a torah or samaya or oh you lakewood ponovich no one was there no one would go there you gotta be cuckoo to go there or tunisia i mean and these are hasidim that lived through stalin these look him who became their life was spared under stalin in the 30s and the 40s right and then they were then until they settled and they left you know france and they left samarkand and to france and then they came to australia to hurt his role to america and then comes along the la babachir and the previous the rabbit sends them to tunisia to morocco and to italy you got to be kidding and it wasn't easy don't think that everyone uh jumped on the bed on the wagon the parents and grandparents of these people they they said what are you doing to our kids we just came to the land of peace of honey and dew and you're sending him away now again to a far out continent and country where it's dangerous what are you doing and that ever says yeah we have to bring meshiach and jews are here and there and everywhere and until every yid knows about god still not here and now you think about it it's so many years later 70 years later 60 years later merciful still not here so i was asking myself this morning did they fail most laboratories won't ask that question well i do did they fail and the answer is they did not fail because they built another step higher to mashiach and i really mean it in other words at some point mashiach is going to come and we need a full set of stairs and steps and they continued building the steps higher and higher closer to meshiach and they left over children grandchildren other custodian you know in france there was a shliyaka rabbi azeem of in paris he literally made hundreds of bolichuba single-handedly who today are sluhim and whose kids are slogan so you probably have several thousand people who are a result of one man because he believed that in in in god's mission one man did this in paris in the 1970s 60s 70s 80s etc so when we learn about ammuna it's an investment for ourselves children grandchildren in the future generations because the more a person has a faith they accept tighter you don't have the faith you don't believe then then ultimately there's a breakdown for one person oh he you know he can't he has to remain religious i'm going to remain because my father was that my mother was my grand tradition but you know i won't be meticulous here there so everyone has their quirks what they choose and pick right but the truth is if you have real and munna you don't choose a pick you do everything to the best of your ability the best of your ability so this is why i took a few minutes extra now to explain this because towards the end of yesterday's year on page 203 some of you weren't here so i repeated it that evan mentions here a very beautiful thought listen to this this is like the four launched in the bottom of two of three says it says hashem says you follow terror mitchells i'm going to give you grass in your field for your animals comes along the refridge and gives a spin on the on the literal meaning it doesn't only mean that i'm going to give you food for your animals there are certain souls that are called zetta behemoth animal souls and i don't mean souls of an animal it's a human there's in a human there's human souls and there's an aspect called animal soul within the human. so he says these behaviours these animal souls are will be will be given grass what does that mean grass it doesn't mean weed it doesn't mean lsd it doesn't mean alcohol it means they will be given knowledge feeling feeling venosati asaf right like like like grass is food for an animal these behemoths these animals will get grass they'll be inspired with knowledge of god and who's going to give it to them moshe rabbingham because maishwara bainu inspires even a soul that's quote a animal-like soul also with us my my mother-in-law may she be well always says the rabbit took a bunch of boars and he saved their lives he made him into mention behemoths but we're all a bunch of behemoths animals gluttons indulgences food honor pride like behemoths comes along may should says i have mercy on you guys hashem loves you and i love you and i'm gonna give you a little sequel wake you up that life is not about just being a bore and it gives us das intelligence thoughtfulness ha citizen english art scrolling gomorrah steins gemura english hebrew arabic spanish french portuguese learn it's in front of you and then now we have social media from all sides look how we've been learning see this every morning hashem from i'm here and you're there and he's in poland and we're all learning [Music] gave to the world and the moisture of bainu says don't squash it don't say the internet is strafe you're not allowed to look at the internet oh there's plenty of tray stuff on here no not kosher stuff on here and it's very easy to mess up so put on your filters leave it in your dining room where everyone can see you you know do it in such a way where you can't hide yeah you gotta put restrictions on yourself because our gate sahara is alive until the moment when we close our eyes okay let's not kid ourselves anyone who thinks otherwise is uh smokey something okay so the yate sahara is good and alive and really really active he doesn't stop again that vert of the cutscore remember that work i'm i'm dying on my bed and what am i thinking the cuttscore holy cutscore said what will people say about me after i die right it's like think about how true it is like you know what what will our epithet read under my saver you know and and because this is kashmir this is the world we live in it requires of us to daily rethink and relive and and all of this and that's what's called avoid this hashem so now let's turn to page 204 and read the kitser the the synopsis of the previous paragraph kid city of value we explained every person confined within himself [Music] he actually asks god to give him something that's contrary to god he says this in response responsibility to the good to the khazal gandha rahman akarya the thief on the threshold of the tunnel where he's about to steal he says god please make me make it possible for me to steal so the rabbit asked hillel could you bring that could you could you bring that down to our daily live stream he says yeah i can no problem he says we request certain things daily that are contrary to what god wants and we're still asking hashem give me lots of this and lots of that so i can indulge so we're calling to god to what to supply us the to supply us the gospels to the taiva for what purpose to go against god so we're just like the gaanev who calls god to help him steal let's continue or didn't tell him [Music] it's interesting moshe in the paragraph the rabbit didn't say burn him he only said wealth he says every person you only the person thinks themselves i deserve wealth remember we spoke about yesterday here in the synopsis yoni look he adds the words not only wealth burning what do you mean i'm gonna get mad of course i'm gonna have children i remember i married in my mind i'm gonna have a first born a son then a girl another son you know and and we'll you know we'll have several boys and several girls so barack obama had a son and afterwards one girl next one a girl third one another girl oh hashem calls the shots imagine someone gets married in rahman islam ain't bonnie he doesn't have boy sons or daughters so the rapper says the feeling is i deserve you know what i'm doing for you god you're not going to give me children you're not going to give me wealth you're not going to give me honor and pride and greatness godula so because the person convinces himself that he deserves he falls into a pit [Music] he forgets hey you know why sometimes you don't have any of these three or one of the three because although you're not a big sinner you're not a you don't have any grub sins but you got him in a refined way you know if someone doesn't give you a certain alia that you want boy are you bent out of shape or if someone doesn't stand up for you when you come into the room because you're a rusher shiva boy are you upset et cetera et cetera it's just patakos but it's the same ego kenmore that the example we gave is when it comes to parnosa where a person is not honest in their parnosa and this is what motivated does that he feeds the munna it should illuminate the person in an inner way in it should permeate every aspect of his life including his daily life his business life let's continue youth [Music] the nation of god which are born with holiness one second the nation of god that's born with holiness and impurity alpi in accordance with him are all righteous if you look at every jew from a soul perspective the show that they have they're very righteous and very righteous okay the belief from the soul perspective in and then we say uber shame blessed be his name the glory of his king kingdom for eternity shabbat shalom these two verses they are our tradition and our faith in the two levels that which we re call spoke about earlier one the malika meme how god pervades the worlds was saying encompasses the worlds the primary activity our primary activity should be [Music] that the faith should illuminate our understanding is to the point where this faith of in hashem in god will illuminate and permeate the inner core of the individual [Music] both in the in the mindset of blessed be his name and his kingdom be glorified for eternity she is how will that happen through reflecting and contemplating on the way god creates the world ex nilo yes and the person's meditation will be his bone in this party a individualized a custom tailored and in the manner in which god creates right we discussed that i don't want to we spent a lot of time on that so we have to go on vaha that means and how wondrous this is here is god who is so awesome and this very same god look metaphorically speaking lowers himself to to permeate and and enliven man the universe and that's that's why he says needs to be near the ish if the iron is not near the yes how can that have an impact on the yes yes you're honest yes you've been there all the time correct we're talking about the a38s possible to make something and the person made it and the object is still there but when it comes to nationwide i can make it overcome thank you yes so that's what he says the iron has to be kirov that's why we have something called the order of progression called satanish thou shalt how the energy comes from on high moshe and it goes to this level through this level was finally impacting the actual creation i.e the ish that's on one hand simultaneously if the creator will be a parent in the creation no creation can come to be right your son and your daughter won't shine if they stay in your house when they're 25 and 30 and 35 let them go out because they need to be on their own to be their selves under your guise they're not your son and your daughter as they are independent they're your son and your daughter who are a subordinate to you the same is true with the iron the ion on one hand what is what he's saying now is we see kind of a contradiction but it's not a contradiction but on one hand the ion has to be close to the yesh and at the very same time the the creator has to be the helen from the nivra concealed from the liver for the never to be to form to come out but as explained elsewhere the manner in which these two opposite forces coexist and the wonder of its being right this is your innocent what we call the haflah of yeshumiyan if you ever come this is the term he uses here and it's another maimarum too of the rashaba another obeying the what's the wonder of yeshmiah that there is on one end the kirov and at the same time there is the helen how does it work hilo and the answer is it works because each one in its in its source knows what its purpose is that's the answer by the way if you know right if you know what the purpose of the energy is then you understand how to operate if a parent knows when he he and she are parents in the house leading the family and their children under their wings and then they also know when they have to stay back pull back you have a good healthy relationship when you don't have that your knee then we have bill bulim we have parents mixing in to kids even when they're married forget about the mother-in-law and the father-in-law as we're saying yiddish the good old figure many either jokes about a shrinker shrieker is a mother-in-law a nagging mother-in-law forget about that talk about the parents right you got to give kids space there's a time when let go you gotta let go for their sake the reign by a silly ki so too regarding the godly energy actually would overhide me awesomely one hand it's independent of life it's in the independent in that it's life itself the god the energy is is existent because of god's force the year goes by all of this that we just discussed these last few lines need to be understood with your cup with your cycle with your mind just as a person feels he's alive right if you know you're alive you're you're we're here ken yargish so he feels that he sees in the world the world is alive it's functioning this morning this afternoon the kashmir market came but now and when a person feels that the world is alive from godliness godliness sustains and creates the world he needs because me who marcus is the highest of the we'll stop here because this i have to explain tomorrow better it means hashem so uh any questions good stuff yeah very good yeah yeah yeah you know you want to see this try it also internalize it bring it down to your own understanding yes i've got a question going back to what you mentioned earlier in this year a guy who you know god forbid is in a life-threatening situation and he you said you brought the example he he wants to make a large donation right remember yeah you you okay so the um i think all of us work we we see this scenario meaning this scenario that you mentioned i think that we see it all the time as we hear about it all the time and and it's and it's looked at as like wow you know he he he was in a situation and he he says he has [Music] as a muna i'll even say he has he wants to go he wants to make this big donation and he's going to save himself because he has a moon and it's interesting because you you you said something fast that he said that's selfish but is that still a muno is that still he's doing something it's it's it a selfish is not the ammuna that that that we're talking about that when we talk about no i don't mean talking about in the mimer the jewish belief of munna is not about popcorn and frankfurters and about uh you know if i'm gonna die i'm gonna i'm gonna give to dhaka no that's not that's not our level of faith you could say that's maybe a christian level of faith if you want to really be harsh that's not our level that's not um and you're right moshe unfortunately many times it is this way but if you think about it and you learn yeah if it's selfish it's not a munna it's about you not about god it you can't have it both ways okay now now wait does that mean that you shouldn't give the check accept the check you should understand yeah in other words just because just because you don't have yet that level of faith you still should do the action this goes back to the chabad ethos of put the trillion on but i don't know and i don't believe you'll know and believe tomorrow if you want to go in that direction hopefully you will because the act will help you get closer and i go back to the story with michael savage it's it's to me it's it's fascinating a man who's who doesn't you know was is not from far from it and he goes on he says the world is getting so crazy let me let me let me rethink religion and he takes out film and he talks about it on the radio i mean it's fascinating it's a great job yeah no but but you you heard you heard this clip that i'm talking about you're talking very recently yeah yeah it must be i'm gonna i'm gonna forward to you later mr shrimp to you guys okay but no but but but but my you understand so to go just because it's selfish doesn't mean don't do it but at the same time if you think that doing it you know you have haven't you have it right you don't you don't and a person who is a froome person a learner person who's in a community and one you know you know they're there these issues become more meaningful someone who's in the street who doesn't know anything and you know you know you you're happy he puts on film he puts some azusa on his door he gives sadaka you know what i'm saying yeah yeah okay guys have a great day we'll see everyone tomorrow take care bye-bye thanks take care
