Negotiate, Demonstrate, Implement, Experience - Life, G-d & Soul - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

so good good day we're learning Tanya pic page 144 chapter 52 uh we're in middle of the page and Al is explaining to us here how Hashem manifests himself through the soul of a person within the body and basically there are stages and we're going to go over the four stages and then Del will explain explain briefly and I'll try to elaborate a little bit so let's let's go right to the text and that's uh about eight lines from the chapter 52 peric numes on page 144 where it says the line begins with the [Music] word so it's one two three four five 6 7 8 9 10 11 actually 11 lines from the beginning of chapter 15 52 this Source that's within the brain in the head for theik it is called Al Galia the world of Revelation that's number one number two it's called umon Mata is the Aramaic word for Mala the queen number three it's called the lower mother we'll explain this all the soon and number four it's called The Divine energy that rests that dwells the word say comes from the terminology from the word it says in truma God says I will rest amongst them amongst the Jews Jewish people so there is an aspect of God that God dwells and rests sh I so again we have four stages you must get this down because if you don't get this down the rest of the chapter is going to be a big Dark Cloud there is the way Hashem is in a is in a manifestation State called Al is gal the world of Revelation and manifestation there is the world go the way God is called matona a queen there is the the the way Hashem relates to the world in a manner called Lower mother and there is the way hasm relates to the world in a way called what does that mean look further Al shame why is called this place this Source it's the initial revelation of the infinite God stop so here's the point before in know before we before a animation is possible we have to understand that where animation come from comes from is a place and a position where animation is possible give you an example if you put a teacher who is a genius into a classroom with children or young people and they have they're so far apart it's not only that those students and children and those young adults won't know the information they're not in the category of the teacher's knowledge it's so so in other words it's not about you got it or you don't get it of course you don't get it the question is whether do we have something in common sitting in this room and if you don't have something in common whether you get it or not is irrelevant because you're never going to get it you're not you not you don't have something in Comm now the same is true with Hashem Hashem God in his infinity and in imp pure Infinity there is no place for world world is finite and limited so from a Infinity strict Infinity perspective you can't create a world so if you can't create a a world from Infinity you can't call it the source the moer a moer a source means that I share something with you and I'm your Source but if I don't if if if I don't if I don't share that with you because we are in two different PLS I'm not your source so the AL says that the first stage of hashem's desire for a world to be is placing himself in what we call Alma isalia Alma Galia is before he already he emanates it's within himself he POS positions himself Hashem chooses to manifest himself within himself it's like so it's analgous m it's analogous to the teacher I I'll give you what I think is a very practical example two three weeks ago I was invited three weeks ago to speak to children at my alata my Yeshiva laich Yeshiva right here in Brooklyn on Ocean Park between H and I Y knows the area right so I said to the principal you know I I I it was the yard side of the Reb's brother-in-law ofar gari I told you about that so when he called me to to invite me I said sure it's the greatest honor you know I happen to even sit in rari's chair in his office when I was hired when I came back from California as the alumni director for the Yeshiva but this was a great privilege but I said to the principal I have a problem I usually speak to people who are mid-age intelligence you know you want me to speak to six year olds seven year olds eight year olds I I I you know I can make myself funny I can make them laugh and have a good time but you how do you expect me to communicate so he says you'll be fine you'll be fine and guess what someone stopped me in the store yesterday outside of a store yesterday here and said I heard the kids love you I said okay he says you had them in your hand and they were quiet 40 50 little kids are sitting there quiet listening to this Rabbi with a a white beard talking to them about his memories of 50 years ago growing up in the say Yesa now what do I mean why am I sharing this story with you because when I prepared to say you know prepared you know to I reminisce my memories CU I want to tell them a few stories and and jokes and how the first Friday when the Yesa building opened up in 1969 in September in El August September and I was there the first Friday CU I was there for the first moment of Yesa open Friday after do we finished 12:00 and the buses are waiting for us to take us to our different places we lived in in east Flat Bush at the time which is near Crown Heights and I ran out to get my bus right I was uh 9 years old to uh 8 n years old to get the bus I shouldn't miss the bus and I ran out I fell you know how I fell cuz the cement wasn't yet cemented it was loose it looked all finished and I felt like this that made a probably a uh an image of my body my little body on on the cement and they covered it over I remember it remember remember like yesterday 1969 September 69 so I told him that and that got them to laugh you try the point is that I I I worked on removing you know my adult teaching and going into communicating with little children which I haven't done in a long time and I was told it work it it was great but the point is if I hadn't done that there's no then then I it's not that I wouldn't get the message across and they wouldn't enjoy it it I'm in a different world from them I'm teaching adults I'm teaching older people you know intelligent people you know not little children so you have to make a simp you have to contract your knowledge and then how you're going to articulate it for little children the same is with Hashem a Infinity God being infinite Mark right how can we make this finite world if he's infinite and the answer is Hashem had to contract himself that's the F first point of being that hasem is Alma is Galia he positions himself in the way of manifestation in other words he says to himself I want to manifest I'm open for others to perceive me I'm open for that type of relationship that's the that first thing the second thing is matona there's a queen the queen takes information from the King and brings it to the people so here is a second stage where the Infinity of God has opened itself to to accepting and finite a finite experience but you need someone to communicate it so let's use the same muscle again okay you're saying to yourself I'm willing I'm willing now to negotiate to talk to another domain another category but who's going to be the negotiator that's the second step Mata where Hashem become one second M where Hashem positions himself and expresses himself as a queen the symbolism of the queen is the queen receives from the King from the Mel and what does she do with that information she's able to bring it to the people yes MAA MAA Brun you wanted to say something yeah I just yeah I just I didn't I missed you maybe the half a step back about this issue of you mentioned negotiating you use the word negotiating I feel I I I don't I didn't catch that what what I'm saying is the second stage in which Hashem relates to the world is once Hashem has positioned himself to be open to negotiation to and open to accept and listen and hear and and be within a finite place cuz Hashem in his pure Essence is infinite so I'm I'm using the word negotiating in other words the negotiation means I'm willing to talk to you because I myself have placed myself in a place of negotiation if I you can't negotiate unless you really I mean you you correct negotiation is that The Negotiator compromises in a way on his or her stubbornness or righteous or correctness and says you know what for the sake of the greater whole greater greater situation I'm going to negotiate so that that's the mus that's the musall the Nim the moral is that Hashem is willing to negotiate with a finite World which aspect of Hashem does that Caba calls that matona which means Mala the queen you need a queen to bring the king's dictates to the people because coming from the king the king is aloof the king is too strict the king is not interested the queen who is the queen to the king she has that uh more refined relationship with the King and she can then put it into her words and her way of understanding it and then bring it to the people and from there we come to a third stage which is called a you know we say in says David says in in Psalms in the mother of children is happy a mother who has children is very happy and she's happy with her children aim is mother bonim means children but guess what B also comes from the word Yi compreh apprehension and understanding the father is the father isma is is an intuitive flash kma is aof it's the creative idea so just sitting there in a studio sitting in there in the studio and they're looking and they come up with an idea but in in the in the point of creativity it's not sim it's something else we call that pleasure and you know why it's not sim cuz you don't have Yet the full picture you just have the idea so yes you the gor says when rabar found a new to a new piece of tal him his face lit up the the lighting up of a face is not sim it's what we call Pleasure that you have and are related is related to sim because when you comprehend something very well in other words when you're able to take your creative idea and to put it into an an analytical position where a is a and b is B and how you going to draw and what you know what I'm saying that brings that brings s because you have you have now not just an idea you know how many people have great ideas and they go nowhere how many patents are accepted compared to how many people have bright genius ideas very few how many things does the FDA approve compared to what's out there which eventually if you invest in in stocks like that you either make a lot or you lose everything or close to it right because taking it from the idea to fruition is night and day so when it is a fruition when it when a mother has a child there's an offspring that's Sim so marriage is a great Sim but the next step is a child a baby I mean you want to procreate and continue the seed and Etc and if you don't there lack Sim in that area doesn't mean there shouldn't be Sim in other areas but you know I mean someone's on a high level has Sim even then but anyway let's stay to the topic so let's go back now to the Hashem we speak about Hashem being in in a negotiating position with the world with the world of f the finite world where God says I'm infinite but I'm willing to talk to you because I am putting myself into that position I need the help of a queen a matrona to facilitate it but guess what that's not enough a queen is not enough you have to become a mother and the reason it says the lower mother cuz there's two aspects there's a higher mother too I don't want to go into it now we'll get to it at some point what does it mean a the mother brings it into reality the queen negotiates it into reality but until the um hostages are actually swapped and brought back to ER Isel it's all talk and guess what at any moment it can break up it can change any moment nothing's guaranteed when they are in the van the Red Cross van Crossing back from Rafa back into and they come back to their home and all that they're here the lower mother makes the baby that's when you have and finally that's the third stage and finally the fourth stage is rests it dwells it's not just I come and say hello and then I leave but I rest there I dwell there the word dwell sh means the dwelling of God's presence is in your home you know what what this is similar to you bring God in we learned this in chapter 34 andem becomes vuda your guests wow you imagine everyone sitting now at their house wherever you are or your studio or your office wherever you are the door there's a knock on a door who comes to the door Hashem I would like to dwell with you are you ready for me that's a very different experience than the number one two and three 1 two and three are all still metaphysical theoretical but when the guy knocks on your door and you take him in that's reality I heard a great story last night I got to share it with you so this fellow shows up to a in yush this has actually happened the people there see that they they never know they never saw this this young man before and they notice that you know he's kind of you know not one of he's coming from elsewhere and they go over to him they talk to him and he says yes he's about to sh and he's just looking looking so they say okay they talk to the rabbi the they I forget the name of the rabbi but car lski kovski is a rabbi yush klovski or something and he takes him in now take him he takes him home and he says you're going to sleep here and during the day you could learn an hour sh an hour Yesa whatever and you'll eat there and and he says great he does that after a while he wants to marry he meets a girl he goes to his mother and he says I'm engaged and uh I'd like you to come to the wedding she says I don't want to come to your wedding I'm not coming to your wedding you've ruined my life with your religion you know she wasn't religious to put up mildly and leave me alone he tries once twice three times it's the last day before the wedding so he tells the rabbi like maybe you could help me with this cuz she's not coming she doesn't want to come she's so upset so he calls the mother and he says you know what do me a favor don't come to the wedding for your son come for me do me a favor I'm asking for a favor she says do me a favor the last time I heard do me a favor it also backfired he says what since when doing someone a favor backfired she say I'll tell you years ago many years ago I was in the York and I was told to meet the laab rebba so I went to meet the rebba I guess Sunday when he gave out dollars and as I came by the rebba said do me a favor exact words that this Rabbi said probably 40 40 years later or whatever so when after the reab gave me the dollar and he said do me a favor I decided I'll do the the rebba of favor and I went to the Mikvah and this son is the result of do me that favor and now because she had hates his son because he became from became became about TOA she said the last time someone asked me to do me a favor it backfired when the rabbi heard the story it's a great story it's a real story when the RAB cuz the one who said it told said it publicly that he heard the story from the r from the rabbi and the people there when it came to she didn't come to the wedding she did not come to the wedding but the Sim that night was so great by these people cuz until then they thought you know he was he he came from a from a mother who didn't go to the Mikvah who had the son you know so you know yes he's a TOA blah blah blah that was that's their thinking so you know it's like inside it's like ah and when they heard that he's actually the result of a Mikvah that is mother had him from that night from going to the mik he was conceived the at the wedding was tenfold 100 fold that's that's the story and why am I saying it besides that it's a great story do me a favor the the the the the is to do me the favor until the rests in our lives it's all theoretical it's all discussion but when the when Hashem knocks on your door and he says may I come in to stay with you and I want to become part of your home boy then it really becomes real that's the and that's why D says here this is the fourth level in which Hashem comes into the world again one Al Gia two M three and four is he says it so briefly but this I heard explained by and I'm sharing some of what he said um in understanding these words I just want to read a few more words and then we'll stop and he says now the the Galia its influence illuminates all the worlds in a revealed way that is a reference I believe to the second level of matona like the queen that brings the Queen's me the king's message to the people and from this Source there is influence to everyone individually that's the third level of that's the fourth idea of therefore this is called the mother to children it's analogous to we have a term youu the congregation of Israel like right what is the idea of from this Source souls are created Souls of the world of aute the highest World V is the and then there's also the creation of The Souls of the second world World known as the world of and all are only but an expansion an extension of the energy and the that comes from the source which is called we're going on to top of anal to the expansion of light coming from the Sun we'll stop here this with top of 80 gim and tomorrow Mr sham will continue from there everyone have a great day it's never too late to have that what it's never too late to go for a new career it's never too late to to have a new career what do you mean what's your reference Oh you mean for me saying you know you're for you to go into the into the the story oh into they like the storytellers yeah we will we will take it under we will as we say in America we will take her take it under advisement ra FAS my great uncle would say it you know how Americans say kiss my excuse me you know how they say it they say they say it in a very nice way mind your business okay thank you Rabbi Z you know there's the way the Russians say it and there's the way the Americans say it and there's the way the the CEOs on Fifth Avenue say it we will think about it we will take an advisement what the Supreme Court did with Trump at 9 to zero basically told these these guys go somewhere okay you're picking on this guy maybe he's you know he's corrupt and he's a crook but there's he has a right to to to to he has a right to present himself and stop you know trying to use uh section three of amendment 14 to invalidate him it don't work that way n is zero including the Democratic judges and including Roberts who is isn't a Republican and he wasn't voted in by by Trump so you know there are different ways but so Yoni in a nice way I I will take your advice under advisement bye thank you very much take care guys see you tomorrow
