Maamar Vkibel 1927 #13 Find Truth - Avoid Your Friend

um no actually we're on page 206 in the mime of akiba 1927 that was set in moscow on purim cotton 206 is where we're at yes we're at the kit sir we're at the kitchener just briefly the rebbe yesterday brought a muscle of a goddale someone who's very very wise how how does how does he look at cotton versus an ish how does he look at someone who is bright but not as bright as he is and how does he look at someone who is very simple and the rapper used this example the frida krabi used this example to explain the difference between two types of bittle two types of subservience to hakodesh baruch one is the what we call the uh bitter hayes and one's what we call bitter bamitzius these are very too familiar uh and regular used terms in chabad hasidis bit i'm not saying it you don't find it in other you do but in khabar it's they go to gather many times and the concepts are very um very uh regular and also in chabad hasidis they have a different meaning than the way it's discussed in other swarm muslims foreign is here the mathias is here that the person is here the world is here it's a given it's not as though it's not an accepted reality it's an accepted reality nevertheless in order for there to be avoid this hashem in order to do what hashem wants you have to be movatel the ish you have to be obliterate the self i use these words because years ago i read rabbi dr mr mendel's translation of one of the contraissum of the previous rebbe or another pet another pamphlet maybe the mitzvahs menissa mendel translated various countries and of the previous represent to english and uh he used the word obliteration of self i i remember it that it stuck out of my mind because i never used those words in yeshiva bitlysh obliteration of self and i really i really liked the translation and besides liking it the fact that mr mandel translated that way that ebber checked his work um so we could say again i can't tell you for sure if this particular translation in this particular cipher that i betrayed but overall that ever checked his work a philosophy of chabad the book philosophy of khabad which has two volumes the first volume was his uh phd dissertation at columbia university and that i know that that ebber looked over and made remarks and uh on the english as well you know so i'm taking the the liberty of saying that the his wording and other writings is also uh with what we call uh gush banker de malta it's a term brought what is gush banker means the stamp of the king it has the rebels approval so i therefore what i'm saying is the translation obliteration of self comes from nissan mendel and i would think that that episode and he approved it yes i'm just curious on that note obliteration is a pretty hefty word and it sounds very music and but but but but putting that what i just said the muslims are putting that outside we know that we know that a person needs to maximize his skills he needs to maximize the gifts that gorju has given him for her to make a dura with her tone obliteration sounds on the one hand i mean i i think i understand what it's saying what he's saying it sounds a little um it sounds a little uh it is what it is i i i'm not the originator of the term i'm telling you it's coming from listen adele and and and probably the rebbe proved it i don't think the rabbit shows those words nissan mendel chose those words but that one second shamu the fact is the yesh is excuse me disgusting and bothersome and we have to deal with it and the first step of dealing with it is obliterating the the haksha ma the the coarse part of the yesh we're not talking about not using and transforming the ash we're talking about that animal like tendencies of indulges and typhus that you have to get rid of that's a basic teaching in in khasid is called iscafia you know anyone that you know doesn't want to recognize that i mean to say is is not in the chabad ethos okay is not about clapping your hands and eating more chocolate it's just not it's not and this is frankly i'm glad you brought it up because this day is uh a misnomer and a big mistake it's it's a total mistake and is working on yourself and dealing with the hardcore issues and including um getting rid of it suramar which said is in the chabad lexington and it begins with sur mera now what the rabbit taught us is that when there's a person who doesn't know an elephant a base and doesn't know what's going on you're going to go tell him you're going to burn you're going to burn for your alvarez you know the person won't want to look at you and you won't even get to be able to put on twitter with him and teach him so the episode you start with assaytov and at the same time you tell him there's 630 mitzvahs including mitchuslow's essay and yeah and you know you don't hide that from it and and you should know the early schluchem of the rebbe you know the like robert gorelick who passed away this week and although him you know by then this was um a matter of fact but again you know when i talk about robert cunanan you know bringing in the hippies in the 60s into into into the shul and to being a car of them because that's all they understood but but at the end you know they he he wanted them to to clean up and and groom themselves and and be presentable so that um the hungarians and fairfax won't throw them out of the shoe because the normal way is to to live that way you wanted to say something yeah i relate to what moshe said the word obliterate almost sounds like warfare like one army will obliterate another army maybe i i what the word that comes to mind for me is um nullification to nullify this violence look i i you know it's not again i i understand i understand what you both are saying and i i understand i knew i i knew that myself i'm just but but since nissan mendel uses it in the any and he gives if you look it up you'll see he gives this as the definition of bitter yes okay so my the way i reconciled shimula is that he's talking about the hakshama daksam is called the materialism not the physicality there's the physicality we learned about this in my modern there's gas mias and hundreas and homerus needs to be obliterated yes it needs to be destroyed the home ruse is the grub kite the gosh me so yes you're right uh in the english language it sounds you know harsh and uh especially coming from the you know i understand but i'm just sharing with you what what he what he uses and and he uses it you know the best thing is for you to find that language i i would have to i'm going to try to find it maybe over shabbos if i have to say for here the english and then give you the reference and maybe you know this is years ago maybe the context there is a different one could be you're right but i i don't think so which which safer is it again i think it's i think i read it either in philosophy of chabad i think it might be in philosophy or the commandments he translated another another a book a little safer a little say for a little booklet called the commandments i believe it's in one of the two and and both are very important to read anyway let's go back to that let's go back to our discussion here in the mind so we have the the the the bit layers and then we have brittle benecias bitter macias is not only to get rid of the yeshut the the the grub guide the coarseness the materiality that's that's um so indulging etc but also the concept and idea and notion of existence should be nullified to hashem and that's a much harder avoider i gave you the muscle of the king of the minister standing before the king versus the ministers as they are go outside of the king's room after abiding to what the king wants and then they start fighting outside the room why because they didn't the bittle be the bitter their nullification when they were standing before the king was only cretanius it only touched their outer core it didn't touch their inner core so as soon as they're not in front of the great king they're back to themselves so i use that as an emotion because it's used at times and see this from the mushroom i've heard that much muscle that that this is the difference between bitter bamitzius and bitter yes bitter but macias means your entire core your essence is nullified to god so the concept the idea doesn't even exist as an independent entity whereas yes the idea exists as an independent entity it's just that the group kite of course this immateriality is nullified so the river says that that the difference between the the the bitter of the cotton to is i'm sorry the bit the way the god looks at the cut he says is he says is that he has some but he has some wisdom but it's you know small change then he says what about an ish portion what about a simple person who doesn't have any husband at all so over here he says not on one hand he's not even in the category of right we have three things we have haha very wise a little wisdom each pass no wisdom at all just pushing so on one hand the cotton still makes it to the category of ghost of wisdom not as much as the chocolate but he has wisdom so he's in the ballpark he's in the realm you know there's a comparison that could be made on some level but the each posture is not even in that category says that but conversely there's a virtue of the of the ich boshod that the ish porsche knows he knows that he is insignificant in in the area of wisdom so but he realizes that the that the that the king the goddel is so awesome he just knows he's awesome he doesn't know how he's awesome when he's awesome what makes him awesome but he knows that he's very special he says i want to follow this king i want to be an aide to this king i want to be a mushers to this king so um that ever points out that from the perspective of the ish pashut there is a uh a yearning to the goddale more so than the cotton he says to himself listen i have a little god is much more but i'm something so the battle of the cotton to the god is not complete whereas the picture of the ish partial to the goddess is complete that was one point that was said and that was said with this we can explain the difference in the battle between the oil masala and the island and he said that look this is on page 206 the second line because he has some understanding turtle masala in them so they look at that and they look at ainsoft and they say that ainsoft is infinite and we're not infinite true but nevertheless we're still loyola so that's compared to the battle of the cotton whereas the level of battle of the island is similar to the battle of a simple person these are very special words at the end on one hand he is totally what is his metius he said he's possible so he's he's like on his own right he he he he he doesn't understand but at the same time what's the content he he nothing i'm a nothing i'm not but i'm a mess i'm a mercedes over nothing because i compare myself to the nothing but i but that itself is who i am and that's why i want to be close to him kitser ivaya we explained when the infinite light of hashem shines the world is considered at that time in other words it has no mathias it has no existence the the upper worlds to hashem to the ain't south is similar to the bittle of the small hakum to the whose in the essence not only his outer exterior nullified but his very deep core and who he is and his essence is nullified whereas in the battle of this physical of the lower world while there are mathias so this is this is an oxymoron it's it's like you understand what's happening here that ebb is saying that on one hand the the level of subservience of the upper worlds to god is greater but the very fact that is greater is is in itself a hindrance why because there's recognition whereas whereas the simple person has no recognition so his bittle to the to the who's really what's the content of that that beetle i'm a nothing and what am i i'm all king it's not it's not so clear because before he uses the word bitter yes you have to go back in the taikanamer um i thought of that and we have to find it earlier he used before the lesson sub oh it's on page 2 he used the word yes we'll see this there isn't that generally we don't make a distinction of bitter bitsias itself i mean but generally speaking so whether he or he's making that distinction i i don't think so but it's always possible but i don't think so let's continue maybe we'll maybe get clearer okay page 206 next paragraph you download it in your head we need more clarification for what is this idea of head that amazing lack of existence motion i know as mathias is kane need on one hand the mitsuyut is no existence um claim and nevertheless nishiba matsias he still remains in existence and in other words how can you have both together moshe the the simple person he's right he says this hawk of this wise man i am nothing compared to him at the same time he says i want to be close to him that notion of i want to be close to him means that you do exist right so how avi avi are you with me so how could you say that on one hand he's awesome and i'm all his and then you tell me that all his means that you are all his that's what he says in this line hainu as matthias is kane and see isn't it you like that this is the previous rabbit has these little shininess he has these terms and expressions that they they make you really they throw you for a loop this is one of them okay but isn't this like maybe you could say you can quickly come in and say this basically it's the concept of being the merkava in other words that the person basically doesn't have any ruts so to speak ruth's own will of his own and he uses all those faculties physical mental emotional creative simply to serve the quran to do whatever whatever kurdish wants him to do so he is using his medcias but he's been completely bitter to the right right well said excellent um again generally speaking when we talk about the bitter merkava we're not talking about this what you described when we talk about bitly mccover means that i'm totally butlered bitter by maxius the the bittle of the mercover by the way is uh is an example in most by marim of bitter matsias now beethoven doesn't mean you stand and so therefore sit on your couch and do nothing it means that god goes through you like you just said the merkava right but here he here is it seems like he's saying something different motion call mockham nisha bemitsius it doesn't mean he still remains the mathias in the way of amer cover in the way of mercover he doesn't remain amazing i'm not talking about him being physically alive we're talking about the content of man what is the position and the content of man when he's in the in the mode of mercover the answer is non-existent at all completely here here the language at least and that's why she was saying it's confusing he says on one hand there's no mercy like the merkava like you said only call marcum but right away he bounces back and he says nevertheless nisha messi is nishar he remains the matzus so i know the way you're thinking nishirobamis means what he's physically here it's not what we mean so that's not merkova merkava means he's not nisha bemezius his merciless is lost what does that mean we practice before we get to practically let's try to understand the concept we're having a hard time understanding the idea that once we get the idea we'll find practicality to it let's continue let's continue and see if we come up with something teaches us we see in service of hashem and they'd like to see their children and grandchildren learning toyota and these people are drawn after people that study title or miscarriage and they become close to those people okay beyond them and these people stand because say to this tava with a good arousal will hold overshadow to anything that's of holiness they always cleave and yearn and are attracted by holiness they have what we see they would say they have a good hush hare they have a good sense of smell only says that ever nevertheless and here he goes under the skin aina muscative and because of amity their kirov is not a true deep sincere kirov the tamadover why not it's because of the other person what's my neighbor going to say what's the community and the rabbi going to say the people of shul over because of their environment of amity sorry sorry sorry sorry yeah right no because of their environment they can't get close truly in other words it's their environment that's driving their key roof their attraction you hear that past is mean befitting it's not befitting for him because of the environment that he's in the new earth sorry what he's saying here is that the environment discourages him from from this so and he's fathomed by it so it's proof that he's not really there let me let's continue that episode and then i'll get clear for hainu he says those people that he's friendly with past in it it's not the it's not like befitting for him shall yield who beshear kavula robin that he should learn in a sheer that that others attend but now you understand why the rep is saying this is 1927 moscow and stalin is clamping and closing everything so you know the the rapper's main thrust at the time was to send your children to haider my father-in-law all of a sudden told me a story that no no foot of us told me but my father knew this person there was a jew in humu gum muhammad his name was i don't know his last name and the freedom that in the 20s after stalin came out with his edict he said he's looking for shamoshim ashamish what does that ever mean shall mushroom mean people who go around telling others about the shoe right there are shamans in the shoe come to our shoe you'll have a nice kid that you'll have a nice rabbi you'll have nice friends if any graham said i'm looking for hasidim to go around and encourage people in the other shoes to send their children to haider and you have to understand that that this was risking your life death this wasn't and was such a hostage any any and he took upon himself the frida kahreb is directive and and and request and he and he and he went to a school and he got up on the bhima and he gave a patch of the beam at the end of my rival between milhomirev and he said you know and she said please listen we have a hater and we need you to send your children knowing very well that they were probably kgb agents there etc etc and then this and above rum years later he ended up sleeping in a room where that mental foster fa slept and a mendel said he heard him at night making noises so he realized he asked what are you making noises he realized he was saying and he was crying so he said what are you crying about you risked your life he says i was crying because i had to get up on the bhima make myself prominent and show off my yesh they understand that's a lubavitcher husset you understand he's about to be shot and sent away to siberia risking his life not for himself for the freedom of and what bothers him years later that he had to get up on the pima like he's this big macho but anyway going back here so when i read this over here and i remind myself that the mind was set in moscow 27 this is what they ever wanted and this is what the rap is saying so ended up saying in the mimer your friends aren't sending their kids to haither to yeshiva so you say me too let's continue this is kind of because and it and and and it does it doesn't sit right within that he should really get close but truly close like is to be a true god-fearing person over goloi i mean look look heaven that look what the rebels writing and and saying in 27 openly i'm demanding of you opening either skype it's not enough to do it in your house and to hide all the goalie that's what it says he says so too there are those that serve hashem through learning tata now he's taking a good uh zets i think get the banay torah uber avoid the ship left zootreela and here he gives it to those the hasidim that are into davening they don't die them properly and they don't learn properly why because the zulus the friend the other person they are impacted by what they will say and what they will think and therefore they do not engage completely and wholeheartedly what we have from this is that their avodah in davening and learning the zulus the other the other person is a disturbance to them okay moving says this idea depends on the personalities issue muck on the place of his mother the time every situation has its um its uh reasons why one doesn't really internalize the kirov takadeshwar you have to actually fight against it it's not enough just to work on yourself but you have to exclude those that seek to disturb and diminish your interest in title mistress this is when a person is not the kero vamiti conversely when he is at a level of ms you know when you'll be amongst when you do the following when you re when you meditate when you reflect why did hashem bring me on earth in yiddish sleep voice and is bashafinder and why was i created and there's a purpose why i'm here well the tach let's call his and what's the purpose of all of my involvement and business and work until versus allah and why why do i have all of my businesses and business involvement it's for a higher purpose of attack they basically and then he thinks about why do i have a family sleep first is born named named mother and why do i have children and grandchildren [Music] after thinking about this he comes to the truth as in top of 207 as i tackle is that his purpose is the tactless asaka and the purpose of his business and the purpose of his family um it's to do the will and intent of acquiring of god so not only so the first the first group of people is talking to the business people now he says so too regarding those that are learning all day and davening all day you know i'm saying life the hashem potato trilo it should be with a ms shepard nephesh with the truth in their nephesh not because your wife wants you out of the house or you have no other job and therefore you're sitting in cradle or diving into it for three hours notice that you really your nephesh your soul needs this activity because without it you're hungry and you feel not to sit not yourself because you're not connected then when you serve when you when you come to the recognition while you're here you serve hashem in your study of taita and in your dominic with the heart without meetings with truth [Music] then your friend the other cannot disturb you at all well that if marshall he gives a martial bismarck [Applause] the zulus doesn't disturb you on those days at all the fact that you're the friend doesn't disturb you on those at all [Music] okay he says it's not the shot it doesn't mean that that that that that you that you that the zulus there is a zulus there is a friend there is another who has a different opinion and is laughing at you et cetera et cetera and you pay no attention to him says that that's not what i mean was serving god with emmaus cavanaugh that my intent the kavona the purposes is not true my vodka lois said that he pays no attention to him and says you know him at the time of regeneration prison crusader those times of revelation any zulus that has a different opinion to what's going on doesn't exist doesn't exist you understand the difference between you exist and i don't take your opinion i don't follow your opinion or you don't exist yes and those days that ever says there is nothing that disturbs you as the world said saying of the world on those days he's not thinking at all about the zulus the zulus who has a different opinion throughout the year you take him into consideration and if the advice and is no good you say sorry chap i'm not listening to you but on the days of rosh hashanah yom kippur sinclair using them as examples that ever says on those days there's no zulus but there is he's sitting next to you in shoes he's sitting next to you moshe isn't sure he's crying and you don't like the way he's crying so what do you mean there's no zoolos the answer is because you're supposed to be in a place where you don't hear him crying you're supposed to be with hashem you're you're shunning keepers of this tyrant there is no zulus that's the level you understand so when you learn this mimer here and you talk about these issues the truth is i'm not there now we're not there so we hear one guy screaming loud one guy crying one guy laughing one guy making noise and that was saying it's about you about us because he says it's as though there is nothing that's disturbing you okay the saying is he doesn't think about him it's not that he thinks about him takes his opinion he says i don't want that opinion i disagree he doesn't think about it behind the scenes he doesn't think about the zulus the other person at all all right we'll stop here in the shame and we'll continue tomorrow the hampshire had voted so we're still in the middle of a a very shamaki indian and we'll see how hopefully how it all explains what we what the rebel began in the beginning of this chapter to understand this concept which is so uh enigmatic that there's a mathias there's no mancius who's a mathias we'll see how he he deals with it have a great day everyone be my slayer bye bye thank you
