Maamar Vkibel 1927 #12 What is Real Wisdom & Is It Important?

i'm going to be starting a seminar tonight so i'm not going to be around much of the next week but i'll be with you in spirit okay good okay so we are um on page 200 and wait a minute we're in the middle of the paragraph and okay we're kind of the rep is explained to us over here we're middle of this idea of that the motion of bainu feeds the ambula to a he's still in the middle of this topic so so he's talking about the darcelian dustin which we spoke about the two ways of god's manifestation and and now we are or in the middle of the page where how would i describe this um oh he he spoke about the from one hand god's energy hashem's energy needs to be the key roof needs to be close to us to to enliven us at the very same time the energy needs to be distant from us hidden from us not to overwhelm us that was the last thing we discussed yesterday so let's go to um for the beginning of ice youth base from it's one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven 11 11 lines from the beginning of the paragraph and the middle of that line commission is explained elsewhere at length the wondrous creation that comes about from having a dual reality you hear the words i'm using the reality one is not less than the other close and distant close and reverent love and awe healthiest relationship is when you have it you have both together ava and yidda if it's all love it's a problem if it's all fear it's a problem and that's the way it's in life too balanced now he says that we find the same notion not only in the res in the result but also in the energy now hillar why is he making this point because we understand from the shallow and from others that everything that's found here on earth begins in heaven heaven is the the or another word in spirituality that's that's where it's real the way we the way we already feel it here it's not it's not the real reality the real reality is the way it's in the lake course and the way it's in the godhead in spirituality so there are the frida krebs says the same thing look what he says so too in the actual energy of god god's energy there's no such a thing that something is it exists on its own how does it exist from the godly energy the year calls thereby us and one is to understand this not just believe it so someone said stabs you on at your seminar where you're going healing someone says uh uh that pillow dr hillel professor hilo mr hillel do you understand how god creates us is he here is he not here could you explain this to me and you start uh fubbing and you gotta understand it bahasa panemias just like you understand how this addiction is so no good and what you advise to get rid of the addiction or whatever other type of issue you're dealing with the same way you have to understand godliness you understand that that's what that's what the altar ebba wants of hasidim to understand god leaders in the five fingers one two three four five you can count them you should be able to count clearly the details of godliness they say over hillel moshe avi the story of the mitchell rebbe one second the mittal rebbe said what is my greatest wish that who two hasidan will meet each other in the forest when maisha is right now and they should discuss yehudi not baseball and that was for lunch and how are your kids doing and and how was me wrong it's all good god it's a whole different idea yes hila what you want to say uh actually i have to i have to look it up i thought i remembered it i was i was learning this morning in the in the safer the piazza cerebra and you brought a safer from the altareba that i had never heard of i want to ask you about it okay so look it up tomorrow whatever you'll ask me okay yeah go ahead okay let's continue when you feel in your own nephesh i just wanna i wanna i wanna bring this down just stop talking out loud because i have no one else to talk to this morning so i'm talking to you guys to my friends do you have a is there a snowstorm there i hear others no no not here in texas and other places but anyway and you listen to this so yesterday i went for a root canal now i am in general not a big favor of doctors i try to avoid going to doctors and uh you know whatever it's a whole story i guess i got into my mother blessed memory she was also anti-doctors so a dentist is even worse for me because you know that he's going to put those or he or she is going to put these big needles into your mouth and they're going to say ouch anyway so i over the weekend over shabbos i felt some slight pain in my right side and it wasn't cruciating pain i said to myself you know you played around for so many years you you killed some of your teeth you extracted some of your teeth you make yourself problems because you were afraid to go to the dentist and you didn't do what you had to go now and i just listened to my conscience and i went and the doctor told me sunday he examined yes you probably need a root canal because you weren't here for two years for a cleaning so he said your tooth is now decay if you were to come every six months probably a filling would do but it's too late but go to a specialist and a root canal specialist and see what he or she says so i went yesterday a froome woman you know all covered in in in in in in the protective gear today you know so you don't barely see she's a woman you don't know she's a woman or a man anybody told me she's a woman and uh i walked in and i gave her my rules for the way i deal with doctors and she said five minutes i went on telling her about my sleep apnea and telling her about this and telling her about that and and all every little you know and finally i say i'm sorry um she says no no thank you very much i got your history i know exactly now about you so be really careful and she worked on me now the last time i had a root canal in the same office it was a man doctor male doctor and 45 minutes i was in and out here it was almost an hour an hour and a half between two hours and i'm saying wow and i'm laying down oh you're vey and she was very meticulous jailed me up no pain i was so this morning i'm saying to myself and i took motrin and i came home just in case because you know you're very you'll have pain no pain no more i didn't take any more aspirin i'm no tylenol and i'm saying this morning to myself i'm doubting how thankful i have to be to hashem that i'm feeling normal expecting the worse i'm saying this because it says here because when one feels in his soul that the world is sustained and enlivened by hashem so one recognition of this is the fact that look look at this look at this you could have been a mess this morning and through the night and hashem because they decided not to have me have any pain whatsoever of course hashem but i want to you know i'm not i'm not telling you this for my self-aggrandizement and my stories just to bring out in the kudu we care about you i know i know i know thank you i i i i know you doing i thank you we're happy to hear goodwill right right right but i want to bring out the point kane mark markish kane binocho you feel it in your gut and you can explain it you could talk about it here i'll show you that's the level of of of understanding the way hashem creates and sustains the world we need to get to you understand that's my point just like i could talk about the tooth and and elaborate and talk about it and smile about it and explain it and right the same way we have to be able to talk about the the energy of god being here being close being distant why when what level that's what the mitchell had ever wanted when he said when two hasidim meet each other they should speak about yehudi let's continue [Music] avi and what he says here is then whatever situation you're in the hold of our gush me and any physical matter anywhere at any time you don't relate to the geshem to the material rather you relate to a sahaya saloki to the godly energy lo sayesh okay moshe you're driving what is a car where did a car come from a car was a heap of metal before the heap of me and and from that heap of metal gm in its detroit plant puts together a car okay now you're driving the car now look at the car ask yourself what is this car one person says the car oh it has a radio the car has special lights the car is this the car is that in other words they accept the yes they accept what was created and they go from there forward there's another analysis where did the car come from why is there a car and what's the purpose of the car in that thought process we're not thinking about the car as it exists and forward we're thinking about the car as it does not exist and backwards so what's the analysis not the yes but the iron here i'm not i'm not in other words i i one style of analysis is it's here yes it's here and what do i do about it another one is who says it's here proof to me it's here why is it here those questions that you asked in the 60s and 70s and the 80s right hey what's going on here you're right what's going on here why my the 50s yeah everyone accepted things comes along the 60s it says too bad i don't accept it anymore i won't understand why so take that in in terms of what we're learning in hasidis the idea by the way the counter culture thought process was a right one and that ever said that in the sixties the laboratory ever spoke he said you know we're all many most other from communities and rebels and russia's they a hippie a pippy get out of here and the rabbit embraced them and the rabbit says let's learn from them and understand really what's bothering them is their nostromo their soul jewish or not jewish they want to have more than just you know smoking a cigarette and watching you know the farms for the 50s the fonzarelli and all that nonsense right they want to understand what is going on over here what's the purpose of life male or female choose a non-jews and that ever said let's give them answers so he brings in solomon posner and dr bloch and the the professor hanoka and emmanuel sherhatt and mannis friedman a little later and they all start talking to the students at the pages at the encounters and we have an entire balchuva movement today grandchildren great-grandchildren already coming out of all these people why because the focus wasn't on the yesh the focus was on the iron where did we come from what is our purpose and that's what it says over here hini us behold ever when you relate to hashem and hashem is what's driving you then whatever physical situation and material situation you encounter your life your analysis is not the yesh but the godliness the story that i told and repeat briefly i learned to summon tanya ten years six in year six or so calls me up thanks me for learning with him tanya's i say i appreciate it but i'm going to be seeing you tomorrow you could thank me in person why are you making a special call he says i'll tell you what because i just had a business meeting and it was an ethical question what should do how we should act and i thought for myself what would the banany say what would the banony of the tanya say and he says i only had that sensitivity to think this way because of our learning about the tanya together so i had to thank you right away you simply gave me business advice about the rabbit gives you a busy advice and we're learning together and you're teaching me so thank you that's what i mean that's what i mean the way you think the paradigm is not yes it's again it's a lacus and this is something that is possible this isn't for the for the angels and for the great rabbis this is for every single year to sensitize themselves to look at things from a godly perspective let's continue the years who are covering and then when your perspective is this way you should know he says that your intent is god you're doing it right right avi we want we know we ask ourselves sometimes how do i know i'm doing it right how do i know here's the answer if you go about it with ellie in from a spiritual godly approach then then your intent is right hey you should reflect and meditate on god's unity with the world in a way that you actually see it that's what i told you before you can count it with your five and this fingers is in many ways one is to reflect how everything is not before hashem all the created worlds have no comparison of value to the infinite infinity of god the habitual they had their we call this level of subservience of bitter heather fisa's mockum it it takes up it takes it doesn't take up any space right heather twist who better be this isn't just what we called earlier yes an obliteration of self to the energy of force but the idea and the entity itself is subservient remember we discussed that that before you can have reality yes you need the notion of a yes that the idea the idea is the right idea before hashem created the world he said to himself i want a world the world is a good thing now i'm going to create it right so the decision that's called the idea that's called the that's called the the mathias the entity the musa in hebrew the musa so the rebels says this subservience of of ev that everything is not in comparison to hashem who's infinite this leads a person to total bittle not only bitter of the self but love the idea which we call in hebrew bitter bemidsiot and he gives a muscle the human zelda marshall will understand this through your muscles a great wise man who is wondrous and he is on a different level separate from all in wisdom to this person someone who is what we call a cotton small change you know is is it's it's no comparison okay compare your professors at whatever university alert them to to einstein there's no comparison to like stupidity he's lecturing and telling everyone about bds in the universities you bring him before a real hakam you're a big fool you're such a fool you're not just not that smart you're a fool and he says not not not that he has a little wisdom in comparison to the great person with wisdom he considers he and the amount of wisdom he has like a was such a great hakam in other words what did god give slaymer god gave sleimer this level of wisdom that all the other wisdoms are considered to that wisdom foolishness that's the gift he was given hillary the host gave me saying needless to say someone who's not a hawker he considers them like you're not of the human race at all that's how distant his kharma is of the khaku from the coffin cotton it's not just you have a little amount you're not even in this category that's how distinct it is just one second let's let's learn the kids and then go into the that's the we just learned the marshall now we have to go to the nymphs we explained the the energy that pervades the worlds the emanation of munna is through meditating by meditating how god is close and create creating the world the kirov and simultaneously the helen god concealed himself [Music] here the meditation is another one consisting of a god is one by beethoven they had the three smoking that there's nothing that exists before god including the idea commercial cotton just like m this analogy will give us a better understanding the way things operate in heaven the head that twist is more coming your name and see is regarding the issue at hand which is how nothing how insignificant okay let's use the word insignificant the mitsiyut is the existence is in comparison to the infinite god the infinity of god just as we said earlier when it comes to wisdom someone who has gifted that he has the wonder of of of of wisdom [Music] god [Music] on the contrary the curtains the mind the person who has a little husband his wisdom seen by the gotham it's like the opposite of wisdom stupidity foolishness this using this as an analogy will understand the fee it's in my fluorescein itself based on the wondrous infinity of god valve de la sius and that god is even separated from idea from entity from its youth as we explained earlier the content of the world is header lack of content you like to look at his language [Music] what does the world consist of a lack of world and that itself is what it and that is its message so when i look at the world and when i perceive the world what i see is the way god is transcendent of the world not the way god is in the world he's transcendent of the world we call that head yes there's a difference in this feeling between the upper and the lower explains should neither have malcolm she'll have the copy of obstacles in the soup in the supernova worlds they feel that they are that they are insignificant compared to the essence of itself you see because they're called upper world super in the worlds they recognize the wonder in the infinity they say wow this infinity is awesome the x-trainer and the mistakes are welcome cloud and they understand how the worlds that are created have no significance compared to this infiniti hine vasugazu so since they have this information and this perception and knowledge her name is bhaka matsusam that helps them be nullified to go to the to hashem take for example moshe the are circling and kneeling and screaming and all that and it says in kabbalah because they feel their source so they're robbed by their source so the when you talk about oil myself what is the hergish what is the feeling of oil this is awesome and i'm scared and therefore i bow down to you and i'm subservient to you this would be compared to the nullification the humility that the the small hachem has to the big that beetle is not an exterior one like i told you the other day in front of the king we're all quiet and we'll say yes king will do whatever you want they go out of the room they start arguing like cats and dogs and they curse each other out and no i want more money for this no no no this right typical politics in the congress in the senate that's exactly it they stand in front of the king in front of the president they're all they go out they're backstabbing each other and fighting with each other so that ever says here it's not that way because the cotton who understands the awesomeness of the kokum gobble his subservience is really through and through complete right so the oil of because they understand the awesomeness of hashem the wonder the ain't self infinity they're subservient completely all are subservient to god even simple people saying who don't have any real understanding of einstein they have no idea what that means miss buckland the front of bataclas nevertheless you see that they're subservient completely to him ella shall even be told the subservience of simple people to a goggle to a very wise man is very different than the subservience of a miner in actuality they're not fearful of him you know they actually they're they are fearful but how do they express it hillary they say we want to serve you that you haven't noticed that you know rebecca's and rabbis and many times have a lot of fools and simple people has their secretaries and aides they say a story by the the babies they always had one or two secretaries and aides who were like very simple simple because they didn't want them to certain things they didn't want no one to know as far as you know revelations and special things and they knew that the guy who has a little hakma he's gonna talk and you know give him a little a little vodka and a little scotch and a little wine they'll be talking you know what i saw by the rubber it seems to me that this is kind of a corollary to the animal world you know where strength and dominance and attractiveness to mates is sort of the primary criteria for for uh you know who who who uh who's a uh the alpha male but in the in the uh the human world in the spiritual world that uh it's distinguishes right and that's and that sort of mirrors the higher world like we were saying before that the angelic beings and so on they they they recognize that they uh respond to the ila yeah yeah very good very good thank you for sharing that so let's see what he says simple people become close to the wise man the rights him will that they're close i'm i'm able to i'm able to tie the shoes of my rabbit a famous story the maganov was rich that i think absolutely i forget which cousin at the time he said i learned how to be a hosted by observing the way my reputation shoes repetitive what's the shimmus the simplicity they feel good seeing that doing it that's the whole idea now you understand better why these rabbits have mushrooms running back and forth taking pictures driving them in the car and all that this this is the excuse the excuse is that they being the kirov to their that's attic to the rabbit that itself is a good thing conversely hello someone has an iota of understanding is not a simple thing for example someone who's a a coffin cop and he has some coffee but you know i'm saying even though you can't compare him to a hogan nevertheless who began he's still in the ballpark of wisdom like you said he doesn't become close what's his reaction subservience nullification look at the word in yiddish it's it's a it's a beauty means lost he's totally not there because he's awed by the goddess both the the cotton and the simpleton are both subservient before the god but there's a difference in the matter and style of their bit of the subservience and it repeats is totally subservient with his very core essence mikol of everything type of two or six let me call the code of everything comma and number two the bitter ish and the subservient of the simple person that itself that itself that he he says this this god was so awesome i don't understand it i want to be with him so he becomes kind of more important because of recognition of who he's dealing with and therefore he wants to become and he functions and he functions to be close to the god that ever says this will explain to us the difference of the the celestial beings souls spiritual realms their level of bitter is like the cotton to the where they have some understanding of what is they know that theirs is far from it and therefore they say we're in awe and we're totally dedicated to you where verses conversely the subservience of the lower realms the lower worlds [Music] this is comparable to the the bittle the subservience of the obliteration of the self known as bitter yes it is he's a simple guy hey i'm here don't you you're not going to blow me away but i see that you're special i want to be close to you who beheads us but in truth in truth even though he says he'll i want to be close to the god even though i don't understand them but what does he feel inside he feels i'm nothing compared to you so i want to be close to you i will stop here image hashem i will learn tomorrow sagas with everyone take care brother i found that reference i just want to i want to i want to ask you yes it's uh actually so there are two things the first thing is just a a safer that he brings in the name of the altar rabbah called bonaire shalom do you know the safer yes yes it's a safer i believe a collection of letters of the altareb i believe okay okay that makes sense in in the same place the um uh which is a footnote in the safer uh call this a tell me them from the psf yes he um he sort of presents a uh one might say a defense or a um affirmation of what i would call you know through the lens we've been learning uh and um uh and i would just like to at some point uh you know i can get your thoughts about it um i don't have all that right in front of me it would take some time but but just let's flag it for a future uh okay absolutely but when you flag it you got to send it to me ahead of time so i could study it and speak intelligently and speak intelligently about it the little i know is that the the rebbe that sadik the kadesh you know um you know learned tanya and shares tanya ideas in this in his casitas nevertheless he was a hagas rebbe so i could i could see you know this issue being discussed and him thinking about it like i could relate i could see that something coming yeah no i'd just be like i think a fascinating uh exchange to you just like where do you begin kind of approach okay well look um when you get the material maybe you send it out to everybody and we could all you know have a text and and something i saw this morning and i'll have to sort of determine maybe i'll just have to write it up okay okay okay you have your homework avi were you able to hear avi avi were you able to hear at the end of the week okay okay everyone have a good day drive safely my shoulders don't see everyone tomorrow take care bye-bye have a good day
