Maamar Zochor 1934 #18- Disability is sign of greater Soul - Where do ideas come from

okay so on page uh 148 in the mimer zachar amalek and the last nakuda that rebel discussed uh last year that we had is this idea of difference between haskala haskala and hasaga haskala means to intellectualize the idea the intellectual flash and hasoga means the comprehension of it and that has been really going into nuances and details and great great uh fashion but the last nakuda was he responded to a rhetorical remark and the rhetorical remark is where does an idea come to a person where does it come from where does that idea of and how where does it come from when a person couldn't figure something out you know or so he's just walking along and going along and all of a sudden the idea comes there where is it coming from it has to be coming from somewhere to say it came from god everything comes from god that's not an answer what's the person do to trigger the idea or did he or what did he do to make himself a platform for the idea these are questions you have to ask yourself and that's what he's doing in the mind and khasit answers the question in the following way siddha says that the idea comes from the faculty of ideas in the soul because the soul in the summer has a full set of faculties and you know that this is true because as we've discussed and it's been written and discussed in in in the secular world in the western world and the that children and people with autism of sorts with mental um limitations come up sometimes with the greatest ideas and where are they coming from the answer is that the kayak of haskola the faculty of of ideas in the soul into the summer let's use an english word in the personality of the person is complete it's not damaged it's not restricted it's complete and the same is true with um reproduction how is it that a a person who is limited in in in their mental abilities or in other faculties in in other personal personality issues can reproduce and can reproduce a healthy child etc etc how's that possible the answer is because in the summer or in the personnel the person in the person the kayak hasn't been damaged hasn't been hurt hasn't been ruined what is limited and restricted is the manifestation right the manifestation do i see do i hear do i talk do i understand those yeah there are there are every person in in in the way that hashem created them whether we we understand that we don't and we don't if someone thinks they understand they should go check themselves out somewhere we don't know why hashem makes one person this way another person that way that's what hashem chooses but that does not take away at all from anything that the person can accomplish and i've told you that in bassrivka years ago my hashem six girls and they all went to big swifty and crow nights there was a girl ashley's daughter of at home who would crawl on the floor because god didn't bless her with with with with feet and she's an a a student and it didn't stop her and and there are numerous such stories everyone knows why because the kayak and the nephesh is shalem and if you identify with the kayak of the nephews that shall aim you can do anything bringing back this and this is a very important kuda to really understand i uh for a moment i point to a uh a talk that ever gave in the summer of 1976 i heard it in in in the catskills in camp gonyea's role in parksville new york next to liberty the flagship kanyasro before all the other ghanian throws you know the one that ever visited three times in 56 i think 57 in 1960. so the um the the rabbit said then this was after the 1970 uh for the muhammad the yom kippur war of 73 and um you know there were there were casualties there was those invalids and people were confined to wheelchairs ever again and they came to tour new york the big apple well one of the places you come is 770. 770 is on the map and the river and the babbage so they came and they cleared all the benches downstairs in 770 in the first part of the show and they set up a beam and a platform for the river and they had all the soldiers come in all the all the uh and they were called they were called at the time the invalids of israel they were they were they were invalids because of the war and the river spoke to them in los not angeles modern hebrew because simply speaking that's not the language that he spoke the sapper will want to tell you he didn't speak that way because it's oscar alpidin but that's he spoke you know like that and it it it's online i think you can hear it it's very interesting to hear how that ever speaks to israelis you know it's it's a little funny but but with with the entire seriousness and this entire focus then that ever said that he wants to shake everyone's hand and he got up from his place and he went around shaking everyone's hand and it was uh it was a it was a once in a lifetime sight you know because we never saw such a thing you know and it was so interesting now an outsider would say what's the big deal here's a rabbi he wants he's saying hello he's greeting everyone but that's an outsider if you knew if you know the way the system went that ever didn't shake hands and didn't shake hands up here the whole system going down from his place to people out of her brain and did the rabbit come along shaking people's heads no he's he's out of his chair he spoke we listened we sang we sing behind him and we went home and he or no this happened in 1976 and the nakuda of the word that ever said to the to them is that you aren't damaged goods that was never's message you're not nike israel you are mitsuyana israel you are from the excellent israelis you are the choicest best now you would think that ever said that to make them feel good right he said it because that is the that's the emes and he brought a a a mime of that semester and he bought kabbalah and he brought kimura in and explained it and and basically it it the democratic has a mimer explains based on kabbalah and that someone who is hurt who comes out as a balmoon has a higher source has a higher nusham so that devil was saying to them the fact that now your invalids it's not because you're damaging your loads because you're higher unbelievable that was that was during the week when he spoke to them on them with a mic a microphone then shabbos where the next job is that ebb explained why i think it was the next shot was why he want why he went down to shake everyone's hand and he said that according to the arizona kabbalah there's a name called youth it's the same name that that to bring up the bones of yosef after they were imitating on the way out we needed to bring up the the coffin and take him out of israel so it says in kabbalah we that they used a shame hashem which equals youth lament youth and the rebbe said that when two eden give their hand yad yad is fourteen yad and yad is four twice times fourteen is kayak it's 28. and that creates somehow the youth la medude because udlamid yud is 30 50. i i i forget now how exactly the gematria works out but and and so he he want he wanted to shake hands to to bring the the aliyah to the matsuyama israel like could you imagine you find me another rabbi another rashashiva another rabbit who who says i i i shake it i want to shake their hands because i want to create nothing in them first of all who would have even the audacity to say that and again today but he said it with the greatest humility but if you put two and two together it's it's it's from another world and this is the laboratory ever this is what we're talking about so why am i saying that to you because we're talking about the kayak we're talking about that although outwardly you're sitting in a wheelchair an hourly you were hurt in a war and now where you they call you have the most special people in front of you and they're greater so how do you how do you reconcile that and the answer is this is what i'm getting at and so we'll see how it's relevant here to the mimer that the kayak hanefesh or plural yeah the faculties of the soul are complete god does not give a person a set of faculties that are damaged that's an oxymoron it's a contradiction to who god is god is muslim right god is complete and perfect so he creates perfection and completion in the world where does incompletion and imperfection begin with the manifestation so of course we acknowledge that a baby could be born is born a certain way and sometimes there are issues absolutely but that's not in the nephesh it's a very very important goodness some and what i'm pointing at is that my mother said and this fabric and the ribber if you really and and i i always say for people you know we we're always around people who you know who who who experienced some some of these outward difficulties it's a hive to learn the secret number one it will give them real hope number two it will show the ms and it's a whole it's it's like a must learn you know especially in architectural where you never have you know people have been injured in war and and all kinds of things this is this is a great cottage to to really make like a sheer in this i it maybe get really pharaoh or someone to to teach the sikha in depth because i think it would reach in so many different lives but so let's go back to what we're learning here that ebba says the previous rabbit says that where does an idea come from from what's called the kayak the faculty of of intellectualism of intellect in the soul and the hamas complete so his question is his rhetorical question is you're telling me that the the most pure part of doesn't ex receive from anything it does it receives the power of of of of of that's his question so why do you tell me that only hasaga comprehension is a macabre even haskell even the part of but that's you're innocent haskallah intellectualism also receives the koiakamasu that's his rhetorical question it's a good question what's his answer his answer is when we talk about receiving we mean receiving in an individual way in a in a practical way in a specific way and that it doesn't do in other words avraham there is the power of intellect of intellect in the soul that's complete as a general idea but if you're looking for specific i'm intellectualizing in science i'm intellectualizing and terror i'm intellectualizing in art i'm intellectualizing in piano no you don't have that there you hear that so in the cue hamasco there is no divisions and partitions and departments of abcd it's what he calls in the mimer of koyak lee a general kayak a general faculty so yes as far as the receiving from the ali it does but the rabbit says here we're not talking about that we're talking about khatma receiving in a in a protestic way in a specific individual way that it doesn't get from kayaking where does that begin one second one second might just be my thought where does that begin in her saga in comprehension the the the compartment in the brain that's known as hasaga within that's the area which starts compartmentalizing art math science piano etc yes my [Music] yeah okay okay thanks okay now let's look inside page 148 and see this inside where like in middle smack middle of the page the image i want to go back it's like 13 11 12 13 lines the first word on the line is and although the the point of intellectualism comes from the faculty of seijo so this is a rhetorical remark question here comes his retort he refutes his own this is only true regarding the kayak of moscow the faculty of as a makar or overall source but not that the idea receives because because right we're talking about a particular idea really if you're now if your your ideas about uh uh rentals your work housing um tourists what is that what does that have to do with the the the the the intellectual power of of mathematics and sciences nothing that's what he's saying felicia scholar cabo mccoy over here means the particular area in which your idea is about that does not receive the individual the specific issue does not receive from it flows from the source abram in other words all ideas any and all idea if you didn't have a source for for it in the soul you wouldn't have an idea you couldn't have an idea that's what i told you i began to share why not where did it come from fell down from heaven where did it come from the answer will you ask a person to tell you from god that's ridiculous let me forgot everything comes from god thank you very much give me a systematic answer to the question where i'm walking and playing and sleeping and all of a sudden an idea comes to me where did it come from the answer is from the mosquito but not my individual idea because i have an ongoing healthy complete perfected my skill it's opened for business what's the business ideas all ideas now when your comprehension component kicks in you take that and you use it in your specific idea in your specific area and that's what it says means it flows from the source so there is a mocker that's my point there is a source and because there's a source therefore the source says you can now you have a an opening for ideas what particular idea you got to talk to you're part of that brain which is hasaga but as far as a place that allows itself to come up with ideas but now you have it let's go further further the trilla and he explains look how he says the trilla initially like there was no existence of haskola of ideas why not because moscow is a general kayak it's not math it's not rentals it's not art it's not tell you that's not sign what is it a general kayak ideas the khan and over here you asked me about this yesterday the khan meaning in in in in in seijo in houston it's very important these words here the existence of seiko becomes mithradesh it becomes created in other words before here you didn't have a merci you had an overall idea of seiko the world of seiko but the tangibility of seiko happens now so we have three stages listen to discovery in this in this context and the difference is that in moscow it's or as it says in other in other words it's the mocker the source in the haskala it becomes and in it becomes your particular area abu but not now he says but compared to hassago mcconnell moscow oh here when you start comprehending the idea in in the particular area in which you're using your idea here you become a recipient from the step before from the scholar listen to this rule and every single recipient of doesn't have the essential thing and doesn't bond and become one with the thing the caution makabe will okay because when someone receives and takes the essence it was at that slay wow we have a stage called mashpea and a stage called macabel giving and receiving he says a receiver when you're in the mode of receiving you don't yet have the essence because you're only receiving you're receiving so you're taking in but you it's only after you've taken it in already and it becomes one with you so then you're no longer on the cobble then you're also a maspea i want you to look at the next muscle to see how if it becomes clearer let's see this by a teacher and a student and it calls marsha talbot learning this arts learning as long as the idea that the teacher taught the student has not yet become one the student has not internalized the idea that's the word loneliness accidentally so the idea is not yet one with the student should who the student on his own doesn't know it clearly only when a teacher teaches him and guides him and he can understand it but if he's uh on his own he still does not understand it clearly this student cannot distance himself from the teacher as far as learning he still needs his teacher the emea and if he does this with himself guess what happens the idea that his teacher tori will be forgotten by the student because it hasn't become part of his dna the gum and also if he's not with the stu with the teacher and and and and and he's still and he's still a student macabre steros vallamos he is a vessel for contradictions for for forgetting things how do you forget how how do people refute our ideas you you go to a sheer [Applause] you understand then you come home or you can base meditation someone comes over starts talking to you and asks you if you question you don't have what they answer you don't the understand is and and guess what the same person throwing those questions to your teacher your teacher would be able to answer them and and and and everything would be clear so why can't you do it the answer is because you in your own right doesn't know it yet you really don't understand it and by the way this is much of learning much of learning is i we're parrot we repeat what we hear from others from teachers great teachers and everything else but on our own we don't we haven't uh we haven't figured out that we understand it that if we understand it ourselves not because the teacher taught it to us then we'll be able to come up with the same answers that the teacher would answer a person who's asking the questions and the only reason i'm not able to is why because i'm only a macabre that's his point i think it's a great point the great muscle that i'm a combo yoni it's a govaldi gaza mercado it's a great thing to to receive and be macabre but it's not you don't own it you don't own it the other person owns it you're just receiving if the other person owns it you didn't get all of it you only got part of it when you take it in and you internalize it and it becomes you then you own it you're no longer a macabre you're like you're a must be at the same at that time let's go further inside just a little bit the kasha message and when the idea is internalized with his dna the hainus would be oximo yodaya or maybe that he himself knows the idea and the truth of the idea of then you can say bye bye teacher and if you if you saw the way robert salovey taught at toshiba university this is the way he talked and he hoped that his students that in other words a good teacher is not looking to just depart information i mean we learned this by the way in the countries for the previous rapper remember that that ultimately a good teacher wants to create that the student should be a teacher not that the student should be a mercado that's step one and boy is that a big step that's why i say oysters when i'm when a teacher is teaching you're not supposed to be in the in the mode of i have a question that's that's the beginning of not understanding just sit back and listen listen and listen and take it in then the next step is to reflect on what what you remember and then the next step is to to see if you you understand it and you probably don't on your own understand it well then you discuss it with a teacher that that's healthy teaching and healthy receiving in other words abraham you have to first be a mecabo to be able to be a mashbiya and most of us have an issue with that we want to be on a spear right away right i want to tell you what to do everyone wants to tell the other person what to do before you can tell someone what to do you have to be on the couple i think we'll stop here but that's a great a great lesson to walk away with for shabbos it's shabbos before this other right shops quite the show so you know every experience purim is coming it's one day 24 hours but such a special holy day and here we are with all of this world chaos a person's is inter in is a macabre and and and gets themselves out of the way see there's two things one is i have humility i'm and then the other thing is even if you have humility just get out of the way don't don't be a blockage don't be a blockage hasidim would always say like this it's a good line it's a good line like this the rebbe will carry out what he needs to do for hakadosh boroku ober zionist don't be a deterrent don't get in the way just get out of the way or just follow the script and don't put up and yet if there's a word you and i don't know if you stillness it's it's a it's a it's a very beautiful yiddish expression [Applause] four words still means to put not fisla don't put don't stick your leg out and make someone else trip [Music] so there is don't stick your foot out make someone else grip and then there is get you keep your foot in just get out of the way let let let let it flow i think this is it today we have to you know people come over comes over to me sure you know the barbecue give me a broker i didn't want to say it because of the shul and the block is get out of the way let god run the world [Laughter] i have to make a stock move today and it's going to make you lose and money does that hey guy you run the world today which runs the world you studied and you spent time in the markets and those and it is this and it's an invert inward the curve and he knows the charts and allah got the mices get get out of the way and if you get out of the way the abrasives bracha will flow so we're learning here about my speed and acaba we're learning it on a very intellectual level it needs to be brought down in our world that we need to make room for god okay you don't make room for god then it's all your own ego and you know sometimes you win and sometimes you lose kevin have a great shabbos everyone we'll see everyone monday mr sham good learning take care bye-bye
