Practical Chasidus w R' Chaim Dalfin - Purim 1934 #4

welcome to the morning to everybody page 155 I'm going to learn now the Mimer okay let's go Fahim a Desilu mozzie one opposite the other also locate we have a rule it's a rule in Yiddish kite and Judaism whatever there is in kedusha and holiness there is an opposing force in in in clipper and negativity that's a rule z Oh Matt is there and why is that why is that re if I ask you why is that what will you tell me why come on why we the first words are 155 is V he may as their little matzo also locate God makes one opposite the other if there's holiness there is secularism to oppose it if the secularism there is holiness to oppose that one opposite the other I'm asking you why is that this what okay I would say it said differently free will so he said free will in order for man to have free will you need to have two similar forces that's why Hashem made Moshe Rabbeinu and he created bilham he gave the non-jews a prophet called bill um so that non-jews shouldn't say hey God it's not fair the Jews have won over us because you gave them a Moses ameesha and we don't have once a sham said okay good argument that he may gave them bilam so the idea of you know equal in Ducie versus khalipa clippin is the negative force is a truism and that is why when were challenged with stools to yacht foolishness silliness stupidity evil it isn't a figment of one's imagination it's very real also ello Kim that's that's what I'm pointing out to you SLO Kim God is the one that made the opposing forces to holiness why so there should be true free will so let's now continue the shame she yesh hey moderators bunny Shama just as there are five levels of the soul you need to Michaela Havel so to the hostel is the term that we use to separate paint to mullet era between spiritual contamination impurity and purity we don't even want to say them in one breath so we say Lahav dill yes hey MA Vegas by Clipper very interesting we have now five Madre goes of clipper if there are five and holiness right we've been speaking about nephesh so Ruach spirit the Shama so higher life if either one is five aspects of the soul says that ever if that if I'm giving you five ways of connecting to God visit V your soul in a positive way I have to challenge you with five ways of messing up five different ways intellectually emotionally practically and then the power of will and the light and pleasure that can go haywire five different ways because shame she yes sacral waha saga but never show the kiss just as there is intellect and rationale in the godliest so lajas occasionally Coonskin now to comprehend godly idea as we mentioned earlier come a cane so - yes sacral Vassago but never Joe bombers there is intellect and comprehension in the goggle in the animal drive lajas see the subjects gosh me emotive iam to pursue in an in a comprehensible way physical material and natural desires in other words the creativity and of attaining material matter is not just I want to do it I want I understand it I feel it and I act on it it's a very thought-out process that's what we're learning Seamus agini on the oil on the hatov one comprehends worldly matters Vittori Vignon a tiny bug off and one comprehends ways of pleasuring their body a good sauna a good sweat a good workout those are nice gosh mystical pleasures and those are the good ones I'm not mentioning the ones that are bad for us we will we don't want to contaminate the airwaves with this - yacht so we'll just leave it at that be his finest Mead I said by him and your emotions you me dose your character and your me those are pleasure to buy these physical pleasures so your pleasure of all love compassion are all enhanced in a bad way when you allow your body to pleasure itself in different ways which are very materialistic and hedonistic the zel neshama value of the clipper says that ever this up these are the two aspects of the five in the negative way of the sharma and rua of clipper Samar Anand Sharma value of the Gousha it darkens the light of the soul which is what the saeho and drew up and the spirit of caduceus Oakland let me just break this down for you in kedusha you have I understand that how God created the world and when I think about it I meditate I get myself excited and I have a feeling in my heart I love God I want to learn more I want to give once a duck I want to help more people I want to be a nicer person that comes as a derivative of understanding something with your brain seho so the neshamah of the nefesh of the kiss makes an impact on the roulade nephew the kiss he were talking about does the opposite I understand that sitting at the beach and getting a suntan will make me look like I went to Florida for five weeks but cried out for the sitting in this room and and writing the researching and teaching and he has no suntan so I when I come back to the Europe at the end of the week they're gonna say you weren't Florida of course I was in Florida I was in the room of Florida but if you go to Florida you got a nice suntan on the beach right then you've pleasured your body more you've pleasured your body now if you need the pleasure for health reasons color kavod but if you wanna if you don't need it but you just want to come back so your friends at the golf course in Long Island or in New Jersey could say Oh jack oh yeah Cove well you got a nice suntan I wonder what you were doing on a beach right right that's too fancy for me I'm not up to date I still know that the place you get a tan is on the beach that intense alone an Avenue N and and Nostrand Avenue where they have these tanning salons the data come on that's lung anyway so the point being the point being that the seho the seco you had to you had to use yours reigns - no - which speech do I go to Netanya Tel Aviv or placed up in the Caesarea which speech do I go to well I want to go to a beach with it's less stone and less jellyfish but jellyfish biting my feet I mean whatever in other words you you it's not just I go to the beach to have an extra motional experience I intellectually decide how long it'll take me to get there how will I get there when will I get back who I have to see who won't I have to see what will be accomplished well be in the water what degrees would the water be all of that is called 'cycle intellect logic and you make those calculations and after you make those calculations you go into the water and you have an emotional experience your whatever your emotional experiences I feel it ah I mean my old bones you know so that ever says that everything in kedusha is challenged by clipper and vice versa everything a clip was challenged by kedusha so the words that he uses is neshama and Rua and he says that the neshamah a rule of clipper darkens look at the words Hillel it's hamachi it darkens later on the some of the rule of the do shed the light of the soul and the spirit of holiness is now darkened by the the sunroof of negative energy and he continues then there physically yes yes [Music] right now that's a very very good question and it's a question that is asked and discussed in thousands of pages of two parts of our torah called moosa and classless both deal with your issue at great length because that's really that's really the challenge the test is in the pudding whether or not when you go into the mikveh are you going for yourself your self pleasure or you're going for the kedusha now I saw my must be a blessed memory at Baylor Tebow I saw him go into water that was boiling hot that you wouldn't go into I was there in the mikveh with him he walked in and he walked out I saw it okay to me that's a sign of someone who you know cold or hot he just goes down into the mikveh or frankly clean or dirty if you knew the mick was that we went to in Brooklyn in the 1970s you you you would never again step into a mikvah unfortunately they were very fair very filthy but I would close my nose like this and I was just dumped and run out I did it one time you know normally I immerse nine times in the mikveh but you know it was so I had to go to the mikveh so the the question yoni is a very good one the answer is it's up to you it's something individual what is your feeling about so if the if I'll give you upside and sell give you a personal example then in Brooklyn when I go to the Mick fete 4:30 in the morning right before I give you this year so I go to the mikveh and no one's in the Mick for 454 actually for four o'clock I go usually so I'm able to do a little exercise because I wouldn't do that when anyone else is there what do I do I hold on and I do some that I kicked off my feet I get some exercise goes all day I'm not getting exercise okay now it sounds very silly but really for me it's it's it's holy its kedusha I'm not doing it I'm doing it so I could get some ex sighs because I need I need the exercise and I know I don't do it during the day for whatever reason so I formed the morning when I was in the midfield I spent five to ten minutes kicking with my feet I make you my hands okay so what all I've said what what I'm saying is what I'm saying is every person Hat has they know themselves and and you can you're only a fool could fool themself than ever my - yeah but if small of the Babbitt's would say only a fool can only fool himself because everyone else knows you're a fool right so that everyone else you're not fooling because they know you're a fool so who who do you think you're fooling yourself so you're a fool yes yes I know Honami of course of course of course but but small he's asking if you know very good question can you can you how do you use gosh miss for Hashem and is the gosh means that you using for a sham is it really forgot was it for yourself and and like I'm saying what you're saying if there are gradations but at the other day it's up to you no one in other words you can go to the same mixer for one person they feel the hot water in their bones that they're pleasuring themselves and for another person they're doing it for for holiness so no one can legislate that upon you but that is that is that is actually if you had to boil it down that's really the whole avoid this a sham of our entire lifetime when we eat and it tastes good what are we interested in the taste or is the taste because God wants us to taste it that way and and in you should know in chabad-lubavitch this was something that they we were trained in the yeshiva and and to use the rest of our lives or better said to analyze ourselves not to make fool ourselves and convince ourselves that what we're doing is really for God but the truth is it's not that you know I'll give you I'll give your story oh that remind myself now a bit casita man I'd rather not say their names because they're known families in the Habad world so they were sitting at an event energy stroll this is a 1940's I believe at a sim Club and - because see them they were talking for cities and the Meltzer that's a butter the the waiter passed one of them was so engrossed he didn't even notice the waiter the other one noticed that he said put down a portion here so I heard from my teacher that in that little awareness you saw the difference between the two in there in there in there not commitment in their ability to focus on cassadee's on the learning at a time where one didn't even realize there was a waiter walking by and one realized okay so this is very like mutual said this is very it gradations but you are allowed to study these gradations and apply it to yourself do I eat because I enjoy the food and I'll make a brother for that with a slow broker and saying every word and thinking about the meaning of the word that's that's a great level that's a hell of I we should begin with that but then there's even a deeper level of person's taste it's not that he doesn't taste it he tastes this in taste it's for holiness and and and this is me and we could talk about what the Gemara says we are thinking say considers what the Gomorrah says there are three there are three or four gradations of having relations having relations between a man and a woman and the Gemara says someone who is working and he has relations once a week because what we got he is working and tired not around pretty much a town McCullum a scholar who is not busy working the Kamata says should have more relations how do you like that why because because he's not busy he's not busy but he's learning thank you but at night yeah he has a wife and he should procreate if he can again it's a de Moura this is not citizens of the murder what do we see we see that the Gemara takes into consideration Wise Ones job ones I once job so all of this points to all of this points to that gosh meais needs to be elevated and used so I'm not proposing and Arab is not proposing we shun gosh that's the whole difference between the Baal Shem Tov of us say the same ooh sir consider says take the gosh myth and use for sham Moses says separate yourself from the - pious right both of valid approaches both need to be learned both needs to be used but overall there is a general difference let's continue in the mind but now for a kid who and he says the van efforts to clip all my suraj which shakes of a boil now he goes to the third aspect of the neshamah called nefesh and he says nefesh of clipper because we just discussed right what did we discuss Boaz do - um of clipper and the rule of Clipper now he deals with the third what we call nefesh the Clipper what is the nefesh of clipper who my Sahara it's the actual bad deed the Meissen ox my choice of apoyo that he does in actuality not he intellectualize 'as and not he's emotional about it but rather he acts upon it for he can marshal must be Assad's my rock smugglers lon and the primary negative way of expressing this is that he satiates himself you see you'll need he pleasures himself enough smuggling slang god forbid but i've asylum has em with worldly pleasures he may be his gob and that's why you should know you could look around there are people that Hashem is blessed them with wealth and if you look at the ones that are really or if they are Sam you won't really notice it because they don't pleasure themselves with gosh means they're not ostentatious you know every one of us knew what I move my new ID you'd better bet I was repeat because I saw him and he's a life lesson for him for me Roberto Weiss was a joke God blessed with a lot of wealth and yet he lived simply he didn't live fancy and he didn't act fancy guess he had a nice house and wrecking the house you know he bought it properly in the 50 60 s whatever and that's it and I know people have got in Brooklyn so the idea is not to must be I I like that word must be assets money to satiate yourself god forbid but I've Asylum hase with worldly indulgences the he may be his gabbro side honey sure mother nephrogenic is when the soul would initially kids overpowers then a fish a bomb is renew often that fish I miss type of momento and that overpowers when the sacral of the nefesh Allah gives overpowers the emotions and the actions that come from from it ha miss bottle an official of Muhammad Allah kippa it accomplished that it uh knows it obliterates the soul spirit and Shama look how he has it - in between three words her nephesh Ruis neshama the Clipper they all can go fly a kite the he may 3 verse I see but these goblets are not the definition but the deficit bomb is what is the initial reason very very important words coming up now that the nefesh a bomb is - can get to us woman a header or vada it's because we lack in service of God who are vada de Mayo a sick bastard le kiss if one were to involve themselves in godly comprar over his baleen nose and in meditation the his satanist and arousal of either the era of love and fear of God if that's what you were busy with like a cloud - chest if never shall be Obama's that person and that individual that engages in these three activities of his boldness and I'm sorry - activities of his bonus and his onerous will not at all have in his life darkness of the nepeta bodies why a simple rule the earlier days fi share because light pushes aside darkness they rock let me finish please let's look inside Barack maybe they had arrived later it's only because there's a lack of service of God Seamus Allah made unofficially kiss that the godly light goes to sleep it's concealed its hidden he nowadays there who is gobblers a salacious tuna fish Obamas that causes the overpowering of darkness of the nefesh Obama's so the answer is you know why the nefesh Obama's gets in because we're lazy and we don't want to work hard we want to just have at the rebus said in 1951 a good day a good party you know take it easy no you man was created what does it say other than the humble you you loved man was created to work work is is toil toiling and working and effort and diligence is the best for us Barack he nowadays there whose garbage collection of their bodies become alkyl nevertheless he the gum Oscar maybe I unofficially kids with a Gilliam is miss battle against Isis honest even if initially you acted in a way that's lacking Aveda nevertheless you can reintroduce into your life Aveda in which the net facility yes we'll wake up from its sleep and start overpowering the deficit bombers why charlie a Seiko waha saga the nefesh shall I kiss my seeking gum cable signals above us he gives a very interesting logic he says the nefesh a-bomb is true its main guy is emotions but it has some sale - and if you can challenge it intellectually you can get it to wake up and say hmmm there's something more than you know sitting at the beach and wasting my time what was I created for just to play golf all day or just to eat neat neat asleep asleep asleep No so you you have to challenge it so with it necessary kiss its reintroduced even though initially you didn't do a fighter but now you start then you could challenge the nefesh Obama's intellect and mind sharing a sale of a saga that officially gives my seeking compliments from the rain and we see she'd gone big Ashley is cashing in schoo cashier escaped in Moscow Lee's hara moru could meet iris de la maza that ever says the previous love is a beautiful thing we see people not necessarily Jewish or even if George not involved in Torah if they are occupied with what's called moose Carlos most colours are intellectual ideas higher thinking those people like I told you yesterday that Professor that I knew you know he can come in wearing two different colored socks and the pants are short and he looks like you know he's from a different planet those people are distant from tithers right thymus pleasures don't talk to them because they are they are engrossed always in Moscow Lee's in higher thinking rock the Vasily my gosh give me I said yes from its ears however we must know that since gosh miss physical thoughts and ideas of intelligence even of higher intelligence since they are still what we call a guest room at Seijas here the sorry there's still an existence of an entity our Kane himself closed off at the end of the day Bowie day Kivus gosh yes and it's so true Albert here Aristotle the G the the the the paradigm of intelligence was caught in inka uncompromising position etc and they said what the heck are you doing Aristotle this is so unbelievable now what does that tell you and what does that tell you and that's exactly the point that I was making here in the mind meant exactly that since his intelligence was not say Hall of holiness it was say Hall of gosh yes it was human intelligence at the end of the day it's bound to gosh genius and it will lead to gosh yes now it doesn't mean it lead to what he did but it can it will express itself in God's knees and in rogash me as such gosh me as that's not holy I'll leave it to your imagination let's continue Ivo Baha scholarly keys but when it comes look look at this boas when it comes to comprehending Hashem when your mind is engrossed in God we understanding of a piece of Gomorrah or a Halawa or a piece of casitas that piece of Tourette's cetera mu Sega's gamba secular TV what happens is the human natural mind is also engaged but you see the difference it begins with God and it extends itself to nature whereas it with with with gosh with say : gosh these physical intelligence and begins with nature and it and it and it extends itself to God but the result is it since it begins with nature with nature halli who masa gunk is innovated aliquots when you begin with nature you also comprehend the goodness of godliness or she was their Duff that sort of cloth but really begin has them and you come to a conclusion that you know what I should want what last boats what I should desire is God and not physical material things only says that every analyzable violates a collision everybody's this makes a a weakness it's up was the Yiddish wrapped up it makes weak the leverage obamas so au is faster sacrificial oi the Nevers Obama should not spread its Koko's extend its Coco's shoe in unis cuff you this means to subjugate to control you know be a little horse not a big horse me have a little guy but not a lot of guys you know I mean so bike by contemplating a godly ideas you introduced into the nefesh obamas something more lofty and more sophisticated and an effort of army says you know listen at the end of the day I'm an animal I'm an effort Obama's but I won't be such a big animal says that ok that's a good beginning lol then comes even more sociable Roubaix it's called his hapa not only do you not eat and this is your point yoni this is your point now not only do you not benefit from the gosh means you transform it po l gamla hippo you do just the opposite the hotly hippo of course of themselves you transform the negative darkness or never survivors to holiness now let me ask you a question can this be said say for example I used to listen to somebody used to listen to non-jewish non kosher music that Ramona finding rights is forbidden to listen to he gives a hell wasn't ruling can someone say today I became about the sugar and I'm going to davon Luke Adobe and Friday night at the Carlebach shul with Elton John song of Bob Dylan song the ants the answer is the two don't go together I think they just don't so that's why I drew that could flame acaba who was the original composer who was a year came from the world of Torah so his music and his songs were pure and the same for other Jewish composers Hasidic Litvak makes the difference if they're coming from that perspective none of their taking non-jewish music and just put a Jewish words to it so what I'm using this as only an example when we talk about transforming darkness negativity to kedusha some people convince themselves I'll give you another example today's popular ensues kibbutz clubs then they have something called a pre pre I forget what they call it before before forgot you know before couple of showers before Shabbos they date they drink they day day they have a higher or like I told you back in the ring County the late 1980s there were few people that was smoked up they would get high Arabs opposite they can dance by local ad okay now I'm not I'm not going into the discussion whether marijuana is better or worse than alcohol that's not where I'm coming from but I'm saying the whole idea of you need to be excited about darvany and so if a jitter mately again again if legitimate ly you know if marijuana say for example is mutters forbid is there abundance a today it's Luther if they ever come out with such a sock which I doubt they will I'm not talking about medical marijuana talk about you know pleasure of marijuana so yep or if you could legitimately say to yourself that you're doing this because you're down and depressed and Shabbos is coming and and you need a push and it's kosher not if it's not kosher okay but if that's not the case which by most it isn't the case but you just want to be loose and wild and cuckoo and just do whatever you want there's no justification that's not what we're talking about here so this is a very very delicate issue and it definitely touches upon and like Shmuel said there are gradations and that's why many rabbis do not put an end to the kiddush clubs and things like this because of the gradations because there are some people they would not come to school at all if you they wouldn't be able to have a kiddush club so the rabbi's and the and the government and the congregation made a decision that as long as they're not being harmful and they're doing it in a in a kosher context of shul outside of the shoe live in the basement the kids room and it's in it's in it's you know it's it's balanced okay I was in Tel Aviv years a few years ago and I saw plenty of professional lit factual one of the big shows in Tel Aviv and while the rabbi was speaking upstairs the main president invited me to come down he says we're gonna have a kids club now come say look I am so I went down with them because you know I can't do anything for him so you invited me away and it was nothing it was very bela polish in fact they asked me to say it's very Tyra I said if I tell you I said a story in and a lesson and I used it for an opportunity for something kedusha so what I'm saying is that these things have to be looked at very carefully and there is no black and white and anyone that makes it black and white that's gonna have issues so what you said earlier about gradations is very very true very important and every case that's to be looked at let me just finish the high no finish here okay we'll stop here any questions or that's it make a minyan make a minyan
