Missiles in middle of Tanya class: Making G-d happy is ultimate - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

page 84 we're we're M we're towards the end of chapter 33 this is a very important chapter one of the proofs would be that two of theim the rebi the re suggested 13 verses or sayings and sayings of kazal of the sages that children memorized by by heart they're called the 12im two of them come from Tanya chapter 33 which is an anomaly cuz all others are just you know one per place here we have two of the 12 from here that shows you that this is a very very uh important fundamental chapter what are we learning we're learning that the amuna in God which is AA which is an inheritance that abob gave the Jewish people only the Jewish people people to be able to believe to come to recognize God in every aspect of one's life which is known as the unity of God from the spiritual to the physical and as he said in the chapter G giving us the mush the parable of the king who comes to and he he comes to Lodge with you and he he he lodges with you in your house in your apartment your room within your house and it's your house those are the three details in the Marshall that he gave so all of this is the way to attain Sim in in in in one's life and this the balat said is the idea of the making the dwelling place for hem here Below on Earth so let's continue now page 84 the line begins it's about 12 lines from the bottom it begins with the word okay 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 11 lines from the bottom no it's 12 yeah 12 and this idea the Sim coming from the is is doubled and redoubled and this is a very interesting language that we don't find normally normally we say it's a double or you say say here employs the words both and he and and this will be understood as we continue learning WE 12 lines from the bottom of page 84 in addition to the one's soul in addition to one being happy coming from understanding the understanding within of Hashem of God and God that lives with the Jew when you understand has when you can reconcile existence and non-existence or better said you know we've heard those terms this creation X and and there's nothing besides God how did the two go together and you think about it and you learn about it then you meditate on it and then you and then you come to understand yes Hashem is even in here and even in this situation and such thoughts right so in addition to you the person who meditates on this becoming happy why do you become because you know that that God is with you Hashem is with you what greater thing is there besides hasem being with you says something greater says Additionally you should re re redouble your in the joy of and the great that hem has that you live with this Faith the this living with the faith of causes the person to subjugate the negative forces Mish not just in theory of R but to actually hold yourself back from the indulgences and number two not only what we call is but also which is is to transform Darkness to [Music] light this refers to the darkness of the negative forces that are found in the physical world the coral physical world sorry from the word who darken and cover upon God's light and this will be so until the the the time the given time the case the verse says will make an end to the darkness theu in the brackets theu this refers to when the end of the days when Messiah will come there'll be an end to the clippa the darkness the all the issues that cover godliness at that time the spirit of folly will be eradicated from Earth and God's honor will be revealed and All Flesh will see together God it will be explained later in t chapter I think 20 36 37 the AL says like this listen to this you know there's happiness that's caused by what we do so when you when a when a person understands Hashem works on understanding how God and the world are one so the person is happy I I figured it out I figured it out I understand right says but that's your happiness there's something greater hashem's happiness Hashem becomes happy until now the is talking about ways how we should live so the focus is on us here in chapter 33 at this point he adds a caveat that he didn't say till now which is very unique and that is that the happiness is not only ours but hasem becomes happy and if if we cause Hashem to be happy that's the ultimate happiness let's take an example when you do something for someone else and it makes the other person happy you should be the happiest person I will say I didn't get I didn't benefit from it what what mileage did I get from it that's the AL point this is the ultimate mileage the ultimate mileage is is making Hashem happy I heard from my teachery many times you know R didn't have a 9-to-5 job what was his job it was a Masia but besides being a Masia which means giving a class once in the morning in the evening you know several times a week he worked on the Reb T he's the one who put the Rebus T into writing and he and and then people publicized it so he's the one who's credited for that so there were those that over the years criticized him like you know get a 9-to-5 job get up at a normal time D at a regular time go to sleep at a regular time and that wasn't who he was okay I'll just I'll just leave it at that you know and and and I'm sure you've all met such people who are exceptional people let's say Stein I don't know his s but I can't imagine that he was you know regulated to be at a minion at 815 I can't imagine you know these type of people who are like G genius like they make their own schedule you know and all that but at the same time you need to work you need to bring home money you need to have some parosa and usually an employer whether it's a rabbi organization or or a business they want their employers to be you know on time and and and dress nicely and and be with people you know all the social etiquette uh forms are necessary when you meet someone who's not that way look like you ask yourself and how do you survive like where do you get your bread from so was asked that question to cuz he wasn't that type of person that could be regulated you know by a 9-to-5 job and what he would say is I'm the happiest person because I work for the Reb and I make him happy he had such connection to the sadic to the Reb that knowing that he's able to to put out more of the Reb for the world to benefit it makes the one who said that to happy and if that's the case he's happy and that's a very very deep commitment it's a very deep connection but the the the truth is that we all in our own way have that ability and that's why it's in Tanya chapter 33 to do that through serving Hashem there are times when we serve Hashem and we're not happy you know why we have to get up early and we have to toil and we have to put up with stress and I have to put up with all kinds of things we do it but we're not happy sorry says fool whose work are you doing hashem's when you are when you invest in in in understanding hasem through and then bringing that faith into your life it doesn't remain just a periphery experience but it's it it permeates you you're this is what God wants so this is what God wants you make him happy I you're tired I you're lazy I this and that who cares who cares who are you this is this is a a tremendous tremendous uh type of uh Sim that he didn't talk about until now in t until now we spoke about things that we can do and should do to bring more simp so it's always H associated with what I do and ultimately the way I feel good and the way I enhance it's all about the eye as the eye serves ashem here in the end of chapter 33 says there's a there's a doubled and redoubled why is it redoubled it's not about you it's about AEM and know the equation is like this m did I make God happy today that is the only thing that should matter to to the person at the end of the day if we could say at the end of the day when before we go to sleep in krishma today we did we made Hashem happy there's nothing greater it's not easy it's not easy because at the end of the day we're gashi material physical and that's the V that's why s regarding the B that's the work of the B B train yourself to put the focus on Hashem that theme is the recurring theme in all the chapters of of the 53 chapters in one way or the other is the focus is God not you now how that is each chapter deals with different issues psychological issues you know practical issues ETC let's continue inside four [Music] lines especially in the lands of the worship the the environment the air a is defiled because it's full of idolatry and full of negative energy so when you bring Hashem even there you're doing what God wants it makes him happy and there's nothing there's no s for God like the light and the joy when there's advantage to light which comes specifically from Darkness right you have a you have a beautiful situationa sees the hills the beautiful Hills great now all of a sudden you have I'm not wishing this on you but I by lived in and and from he he bought he bought I think the penthouse of a building you know a few blocks in the ocean he came from Florida so he liked the ocean so he he parked himself in an apartment when he decided to make aiah in Aria seeing the beautiful ocean well guess and I was there and I remember it was gorgeous and I went out on this porch had a big balcony and they had the the ocean the next time I came back I couldn't see the ocean cuz there was a building blocking right there is light light oh I go out on the balcony now you have to find the light even though there's a building standing there find the ocean come to a point in your Psych in psyche that it's as though you see ocean even though you're being blocked by the building the transformation of negativity to positivity there's nothing greater than it when one is able hillo the your work when one is able to to work out an addiction issue and and you help them with that that's the greatest type of uh an accomplishment is to take the darkness itself the bad the negativity and that itself should become kadus so there's one thing to one second one thing to stop smoking one thing to stop drinking Etc that's aafia and that's a beginning everyone knows what's even greater is that the same person who was an alcoholic is able to come to a Sim and take maybe a drop I don't know I don't know you know of of wine or something or maybe and and and not and not lose himself and and go back into alcoholism he's transformed the alcoholism to a level of water for example I mean again it's it probably seems an impossibility because they say you know an alcoholic once is an alcoholic always but I I'm not trained in that field enough to talk about it intelligently but I'm just saying BMA it would be that or or um or or for example a person who growing up had a a very strong sense of anger and then after 20 30 years and working on themselves refining themselves therapy this this that you don't notice it anymore so sometimes the person is a great he can cover it up right but then there are times people are able to transform you know by by by working de deeply on them inside themselves where the anger you know goes away and and they take that same energy that they had with anger and they put it into kindness yes H yeah I was when you're talking I was going to say I once heard a v in the name of the Aral that says that um that when the T tells us tuming to you be telling that the word like is from the word become through your very good and I never heard that thank you very much that's a that you become a you become complete by taking your M your blemishes your defects and transforming them thank you let's continue I want to just finish the pic it's it's a similar idea to the um it's a ilar idea to the uh the the middle matah and PES the broken mat becomes the one that sort of the G GH right good good very good hello you got a sermon ready listen to this now this is one of the 12 that our kids hopefully know by heart and guess what we should know them as well and this is what it says says is is you Jew is be happy be with your creator P remember when the AL say p he's adding whoever belongs to the Jewish people he should be happy with the joy of God that God has Joy next page is happy that you make a home for him on Earth he gets happiness says the AL this is an actual physical doing something it's not just a fantasy it's not just spiritual but it's making a home for hem here every person's house every person's room every person's car wherever a person is Hashem should be able to say I enjoy being there and therefore you've made me very happy giving me lodging it doesn't say it should say in the verse hasem is Happy be with what he created it doesn't say that it's says and is it's multiplicity know is not only Happy from his spiritual Worlds the angels and the souls but he's also happy from the gsh is which is full of negativity that's called the public domain the and the peaks of Separation when we we transform that to light and and we take from the public domain and it becomes the private domain for the Oneness of God with this Faith so this is why this type of happiness is the ultimate happiness and this is also part of what we're doing now when we're going through this time in which is a serious time one minute a serious time we need to we need to know that we're making AAL yes yeah we just
