Practical Chasidus w Rabbi Chaim Dalfin - Maamar Choviv 1940 #6

there every morning okay page 275 we're at i skibble are now at the third ice so I think that we finished we finished the other one rather you sure you sinister yeah sure of course in fact in fact we're not Anna is Kimmel yesterday we learned that from the beginning of ice gimble till 8:00 till after wait a second you got up to the phrase but hot tub us me go south aha wanna go south yeah okay so we're talking here about the same hole within meadows and how say meadows are important to completes a hole and say it was important for meters this is what we discussed yesterday at length let's continue the Union Hamidah assume our Seamus Lima samantha is estimating the idea of the Midlands they complete their muscling and their mamas they they make truthful the the motion that is experienced without the morning Edison without the the meters service a whole Shepard motion you don't know if you're my friend is true or false like we discussed yesterday you could be on this path for so many years and at the end you find out I made a total mistake I was living with with a fantasy I was listening I was living in an erroneous way why because I thought that so-and-so and I thought about it it's not as though I ran into it but I made a decision a thoughtful decision but unfortunately it was wrong so to avoid that that ever says meters within the who will make help you discern whether you're safe hole your logic is right or wrong right because just for another moment because intellect and rationale and logic it can go anywhere and there's no one to tell it whether it's right or wrong only when it comes to a place of meters even not even leaders of the heart but meters in the brain has we've been discussing right the proof isn't that pudding if if though if that those metals are healthy and good then you know that the same flow you're using is healthy and good that if those metals are not then you know that the same flow you're using has worked is wrong that's what it says and the police is first the commandment as the famous saying those the N - Kabbalah nice Elyan you're not a huffing unless you are tested you can pontificate and you can philosophize and you can have all kinds of deep thoughts but until you are on the ground those boots are made for walking and you don't walk the ground and you don't walk the ground in the battleground you're nothing there was the fussing around my yard I've grabbed reason was I thought I spoke about it many times it was one of my nurse pian and I really respect respect his approach to life not just the considers but to life so he would say to fellow Kassadin who also pretty good facility he was said he would say if one is not ready to let himself be slaughtered he's a nothing if he came from that era the 1920s and 30s to fight a style your maximum on the communism so he would say are you ready to be censored are you let are you ready to allow yourself to be shifted and if you're not you could be a bit closer you can doubt me for hours and learn and shake but if I bring girls go to the Reverend Papa Papa he says you personally are nothing because you're not it's all lip service it's all very good but I want to see I want to see one one day go out to the field and they want to catch you and send you away and your children won't have what to eat and they won't have a father you know so he would say that this fellas are we ready to be tested you know it's a very All or Nothing attitude one second Hill that's right right so that's what it says okay so that's why it says he loves the ain't awesome cabal how nice are you you don't become a huff until you have the Messiah you're not a thought from beforehand another cuff from beforehand so that Epis that ever is using this phrase to explain that you're safe ho is not you don't know if your sacral is right until the meadows prove that your sacral is right so and again I want to emphasize we're not even talking about the meter separate level talking about the middle ship emotion but the example I gave yesterday from governor Miller give us hello Kim Leto's there is elk in there's tears us and there's Lee it's God there's the closeness of God and there is that's good for me so we're not talking about the lead the leaf stage is the last stage and that's a different experience we're talking about the care of us and that gives us tells you what type of cycle it is you know okay the hawk Missouri underlay the khatma stands wassup for the person Kindle appeal then then after the meadows kind of complete the saiful disciple then stands for the person to complete and the coil but I promised me they suck on the gay stuff in improving his character and his hyung Jota his his behavior nefesh Aliki so that's the nefesh a sickly nefesh are the keys and then there is the godly soul who simply be at sentosa it is st. whole in its very essence varnish a Bahaman see the equally minutes and then that fish abundance is primarily mythos but come see yes by central dumb cake and although he also say oh yes some logic high that's what Johnny asked me yesterday trying to go vagus a tool asana kilometers just be settled um came in addition to the saiful that the animal drive has that's applicable to the behavior he has some of his own say who are both his retort to this remark is of gamma circles there even this a fool who wrapped by Shia kilometers how much safer does he have you only only that amount that's necessary for the Middle's for behavior and he says who and how does that express itself this is mommy's that I read answer to your question yogi well hula husband mustn't leave Lloyd the amount of Satan he has is the amount that he had he needs to explain why this item is good for him well the hostel is talking and to comprehend Isla hoste Kedavra who how can I get this item that I want well mohammed abu allah is and the sacral helps the animal drive fine fabulous is trickery this plots all kinds of deception the hog was fine they can use an example to gather wealth Abdulla recovery and greatness in honor of cahide god no in other words the first thing to decide is that effort shot by Miz is I want to be great I want to or I want to be very wealthy and I want everyone to know about it now if I'm going to come out and tell everyone I'm great or am wealthy they'll spit at me they'll say you're disgusting you're an egomaniac so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna ask the sacral a little sacral to find the clever way of dressing up my ego driven self so how much how much of sacral does the nefesh a bomb misused that amount to carry out its type of bullets it's trickery the saying Lajas takus actually becoming entertainment is it uses sagal to justify its its position with many arguments with many tiny notes for hospice facades made to find favor in oneself in other words I did this and this I'll tell you why I'm bright that I did this and this even though everyone else thinks I'm wrong but I can't just say it out I can't say I can't just say it I just did it because I wanted to because that I'll be laughed at so I'm going to find some explanation and utilize my MOA my my say ho to justify my behavior Gloria Trudeau says that Ed but this is not instant in accordance with that item came Lee pain before trying this Lusaka socks my it's the fine justification to all of the arguments and positions to justify oneself who made a self and the meters of that individual at the time hand huzzah plaice are very strong with the key phrase be a severe you're all passionate you're you know you're all convinced that you are right and everyone else is wrong and I'll tell you why I'm right then I'll explain to you why it should be this way and you can't talk to that you can't talk to the person you can't convince them because the meters are burning at the time how surprised would tea face the marshal rates who rates a bit take a good the nefesh Ebonics listen to this whatever he wants whatever he decides he wants he wants was a great token with a great passion it's not that he wants it but you know to take it away I still could live without it no I'll do anything to and everything to get what I want Oh Marcia rates in the rates of attentive and just the opposite and whatever he doesn't want who doesn't want to do he also doesn't a passion he hates doing it and you can't get him to do it because you don't he won't budge so these are a traits of the nefesh obamas sounds familiar thus next page page 276 those was the nefesh a bomb is real now he says it in good old schmuck it's my pleasurable Yiddish thus verse that nefesh a bomb is will this what the nefesh a bobbies wants Vilma's wants comma V leaves a is God he wants it very strongly star too strong say it is very common thus was air will neat and this that he does not want villain it mythic taketh he doesn't want it with a passion so basically this translation of what we learned that we were read before in the Hebrew the whole yes rabbi of dykes one said to me once said to my brother and me but you can learn enough cassidy's looking at kids you could look a little honest is what we're looking at for looking at children now you see the children children want something you know I'm not gonna say it's not going to be rational they're gonna want it right so he said that that that should be an attitude that you have when you when you want when you win if when you learn considers when you're Lynn Taylor know that you should just want it and not give up that's what you're saying right thank you for who is he China it's a bomb is so now the question is motion why why does the nefesh of bombers have this mechanism says the rep I'll tell you what because you have to know what what it is and if you know what it is you understand its behavior right right my let's try out our LAIV which which a birth was asked me about right if you understand the Maya then you can deal with the leg so what is the nefesh about what is its modus operandi what's its what's its what's it's what makes it tick volition F is a bomb is the eczema who say who can harm us avec now here we introduce another concept that's not discussed that in in many places in considers but it's very important what is the net which Obama's and this goes back to something that I asked you about way when we started to discuss cities we what's the difference between of the y8 Sahara and the nefesh Obama's yoni grew up learning Asylum Berlin and I'm he heard the word y8 Sahara a hundred million times okay in labaki in Chabad we don't hear the word Yeats of her so much we hear the word nephesh Obama's so Moshe comes into to to the Chabad House in in forgetful City Chicago over there and he hears absurdness hear about an official bombers an animal we'll drive an animal side it's like come on what's going on here but these two terms that you hear are not contradictory yet Sahara is the classic word used in the promoter and in Jewish writing okay which is the more practical and the end and also the word Yeats there is very important Yeats are Hara it's an inclination it's already Amida it's a behavior when you say inclination that means I'm inclined to behave this way comes along they all together and he says that there's something that motivates the inclination and that's what I want to deal with doubt there every sense because I said yesterday that's what's the citizens about let's say this is going a step before what makes us behave a certain way since the outside ever this is what we call a nefesh okay so eat then again he's not the first one to introduce nefesh but the way he introduces it is unique to his style okay I'm gonna make that clear because the word nephesh is found this magnet up from a time bomb and earlier writing so don't it you know it's important to know you'll say this to someone who's learning it you know say you're an ignorant person you're not modest because natural surety says earlier it's true but the formation and the style and adaptation of the way the alternate be uses nefesh is unique to his system of about and they have their system which is most philosophical right the morale and and and and there are sag rapid and and those code and those sages and scholars they took a more in the philosophical way whereas the and and the Rambam whereas the we as the outer heaven and based on the baal shem tov took it more in the Hasidic way so anyway what is the nefesh a drive a drive is inside you and it's what you behave a certain way so it's the inner core of the Yates Ihara so it's on the same line right but it's it's a very different issue that we're tackling so the question is what is this Yates what is this nefesh Seska say this and the previous never brings in here that the nefesh obamas that's why we don't say yusin papa humus we don't say how Bahamas we say NASA shall Bahamas never shall I kiss never shall syphilis because what we rock you pied with it yes yes hello well it's in Hebrew grammar yeah not that I'm an expert I believe the hay is called not I believe I know the hay is called the hey how you dear you've heard of the hey how you dear Nosa fact that your question ends is answers with the question answers it you wanna oh you're asking because it's the nefesh that's the primary not the Bahamas that's your question well we want to emphasize one second want to emphasize that this dismiss what is its main much other half a homicide this message for real estate group that's it animal drive I'd say Memphis Bahamas okay it is it's fine because so what I'm saying is you could say it nefesh Bahamas but then there's not no Douglas there's no emphasis on the the the thicker the Iker of this nefesh what is it that ha Bahamas tells you that this nephesh that I'm talking about what it really wants is is behind it behind and the hey the standard grammar Hebrew grammar is the hey how you dear I mean you couldn't you can hello you can ask this on any word why is there a hey how you dear and what's the classic answer the hey idea is to emphasize and that's okay but but again it's interchangeable in considers you know we're not learning dick book so sometimes we say nefesh Bahamas or I I the way I remember being trained in my youth and learning facilities was and hearing it nefesh ha ha ha Bahamas that's the way I remember nature series nefesh Coelho Cuse anyway Bahamas what anyway so what what is this necklace I promise since they're ever it's clear from the sava the third line the first words it's the power the coop ha Masada of Tyva of lust temptation we're gonna have a question of this this exact thing that you were saying just like the two words to two lines before in the when you referring to the to the net response the temperature the Yeats Arash Bahamas where does the bow tie for come in does it come in in between the two or it's in the eight so no it's not it's it's in the nethers abundance that's what we're learning now but about that there is the practicality and application of being about Taizo I want I'm indulging that's the answer her get to her as I do it but we're talking about where does it come from that that learning that comes from the NASA shabam is the power of temptation of tava is is much deeper it's much deeper than just doing it you know we find in Kazan now that every city chapter 11 and Tanya he who did it have very that crush in Nevada that's just a song that's not that that's not Hasidic thoughts of a Nevada are worse than Nevada why why because the practicality of a Nevada you do it today and it's over right but the thought if that's with you that keeps on lingering on and on and on and and and it's gonna get you again so the the actual I've made the transgression once it's done it's done but the healer healer that's what he addresses in Chapter eleven and Tanya is a according to Kazan is worse so maybe we could use that and that Cazale to explain the difference between the y8 Sahara and the nefesh hobbies the nefesh obamas is more similar to the gyro Aveda and the late Sahara is similar to the availa and what's and what is this clay AHA moussaka she remember those words yes hello I just want to say I saw today and makes a friend safer which is talks on the safer about Shem Tov I'm Vila he says why why do we need to make sure that we bring into words the things that we wanted Fela cases why he says because if it just remains in our thought then the could also come just in our thought so you know you could have you know I want a new house so god I get God gave you to a house he gave you a featuring your mind up a new house no we want everyone is that what right right so now look at the Yiddish translation and he puts it in good words acquire from glisten a power a clear of desire that lust means to desire clarify masala means the power the the trigger within the soul that is there for one thing called desire very yes a be Montenegro cycle test is denied and since this is since the net fish have Bahamas if from the lower levels of what's called creep us know that the husk and the spiritual negative energy called Noga we'll just leave it at that for now Heaney how clear shall a mokuba's brother use its playoff unison in it Malou box it dresses herself up obvious isn't good old give this grub tight coarseness grub that's so of the word of these grow in other words because it comes from a place where the energy is very close ield this nefesh how Bobby's enjoys grub tight and it does so with a tava it does so with with it with desire and temptation and he says it assumes a nice heft Soviets a new rock but surfing good fight that's why the only desire and will of the nefesh our bodies is to service a goofer to take care of its own body who miss sugar the sugar comes the word shakka which means immersed or Masuka bizarre my and it's very immersed in feeding its bodily needs bodily pleasures all about the book discussion against at heart and mouth will cook Johnny the next line you see it's two things the cash that I gave her my officials clear common sava that will seek open words and when the Yeats are Hara bogus it it in clothes addressed to clarify Masada shall never saw bodies see clearly there's a yetzer Hara and there's a class I'm a saga of the nefesh obamas so here he says it clearly that there's two things and what is the what is the what is the deficit Bauman's to clarify Masada the power of temptation and when the gates of horror latches on to that and it says now I'm going to become all temptation oriented he need us who yet address mother Islam adelphia then God forbid he falls from step to step Shanaya home Lily Gandhi he becomes now corporeal home knees the English who must advance chuckled innocently and at that point he has no comprehension and no understanding of something that's intellectual you're talking to a wall he is all tava he is all completely addicted this this is again what I would call the addictive state and you know you can't talk to the person logic they're not they're really shocked I'm going on journey he's I never thought about mrs. Barnabas nevertheless what is a sense intent that we should refine this nefesh obamas for high notes are clarify moussaka sure but Neff is Obama's what our son wants is the following only we should take the power of temptation that's what's in the nefesh at Bobby's you stylish buddy and transform it that it should serve elevators Hashem to serve Hashem believe without entity Mitch's will he tell you this without this Allah and to the service of the Hara cheela Hashem wants take that same passion that you had for a tiger and use that and why is that because going back to what I said earlier that since the net fish obamas does not equal yates Ihara so Yates ihara is already a form of rap Yeats said horror ah that has to be obliterated Nessus our bodies is neutral and therefore it shouldn't be obliterated but rather transform we want you to take the same cup that you had to eat that cheeseburger and with the same class eat an apple and make a brother the same class that you had for for hurting and cheating and lying and sitting and everything else take that energy and use it for Hashem and we saw this and see this in the bow chuhwa when the person gets it and sometimes you know we say oh you whacked out but you're acting like a ball jouvert yes it happens to be than the beginning because you're so intense and you're on your gear and you regret so much what you did and you want to use that fire now for a Shem so you tend to go off a little bit under defend till you get back to the middle like the Rambam says which is fine that's what we have like I said yesterday a rabbi lip stir in Morristown where many of these guys that came in was very wacky you know in a way they were brilliant but they were wacky I remember one he remembers those guys are nuttier he decided to be another as it comes into the achieve of being another now there was a holy God you loose a lion that knows he was lying yeah but this guy was coming out of Columbia or Harvard or wherever he was coming from and all of a sudden that he didn't know what he told him he wants be another you couldn't talk to him I remember I tried speaking to him I used to hang out with the guys at the ferris and try to listen to the story she not only mad when researching when I was 17 to hear people's stories try to understand where they're coming from and I go over to the nose of your modest and I remembered I say so what is this about you I hear you're another like what is it about and he gave me his position about it and and I just say anything to do you know first write it I just met right but I'm just saying or other other fellows you know the intense chuhwa it's powerful that's what we're saying the clarify masada clarify Mesaba is a very powerful thing so in the beginning when you when you use it it might look funny and outside it might sound funny and then you mellow out a chiller alley go back to the beginning to the middle and you integrate with the community and with the more normal away of the way people do things but this is not to dismiss the clarify Masada I think I told you there was a my spirit a trail Brook who said he would rather have a wild spirit a safe as we call the shade of him that attained student because he knows from those wild students one two or three of them are going to become future leaders from the people who are nice boys and nice girls and you know okay but you're not gonna find you know excellence coming from them and and leadership it's usually not that way and I don't want to say names but I actually know something some people who were while they were teenagers very wild and very cuckoo and later they they mention us out and they became leaders so there is something to be said about you know looking and at this class I'm a sovereign by the way that's what that is so in the 60s in the counterpoint culture revolution whereas most other rabbis and organizations were going to nuts and crazy and they're losing their kids and that becoming hippies and growing here walking with torn pants and smoking marijuana and LSD and they're going nuts and to abolish it never says we have the certainty good things we can learn from from a hippie that's what he told someone who was learning in illiteracy achieve in the 1960s and he started to grow a beard and his yeshiva administration gave him a hard time and he went to the river and he said you know he's gonna literacy achiever and he and he he sees the importance of growing the beard but they're giving them a hard time so they're never told it and this is online you should listen to it it's on a living toad Ron said they never told this guy oh he's from Detroit he's a cautious administrator today they never clothe them learn from the hippies but they that bees that they grow their beards and they do what they feel is right there's something valuable today the claire thomas alva don't dismiss the class at Masada don't dismiss it Keenan and the makita the what's behind it and then and then you'll have good results so the rather comes out in the 60s and he starts in 1960 to have directories about food even car lights and any and encourages rather ghosted to start with you see whether they ask for your Seva and the first ball it should be achievers begin during the 60s and so private should ever had a hand them had a hand of them why because he did not dismiss the tire of the 60s he transformed he looked to transform the tire of the 60s and the same as today when we have young people who are rebelling so you could easily dismiss them you can so easily dismiss them or you could focus in and hear what they're saying remember I told you that vert and I person mr. Goldstein he had a printing press here in Borough Park on four six to sixteenth and in his older age he would take a walk or so and I met him and and I started to cook them and he said I have a part for you it says in the cleaner in parts of the sate say cassia leash when a person will have been sighted or made a rebellious child that doesn't listen to clay love of the email to the voice doesn't hearken to the voice of his father and mother so shall be the punishment so he said the attracted to interpretation kissee least been sighted Marina do you know why someone has a son or daughter who are rebellious because the parents don't listen to his voice to his cry because the parents are stopped and saying this is the way it has to be and by the way it's not easy not to think that way because we're all raised in a certain way and to vacate your position and your beliefs and those things that you that have proven to you to be correct and here you have to step back it's a very heart you know it's easy to say it but it's very hard to implement it so this gentleman said to me this is the tight you know what you have a been cited a minor because lawyers mother clearly not he didn't listen to spirits you didn't listen to his cry so what we're saying here is that the classic title that was identifying here in the minor of the nefesh shop amis is valuable it's a very valuable thing you know who would you rather have someone who shakes his head to whatever you say yes you're the best you're the you're the greatest you're all right or someone who says you're wrong I was just reading as I'm working on a book that Intel's in Europe let me you even brother won't believe what I'm gonna say but it says and I read it someone who was there he says that the students well there was a severe rabbi his name was Rabbi Yosef may applause from 1910 to 1930 29 he was the receiver and he would come in to give here the hemo Robby Gordon Eliezer Gordon the one who precinct passed away 1910 anyway one of them he comes in the tip this year and he starts schmoozing and dialoguing with the students that was the style and they started to you know dialogue bad was back with him and all of a sudden one of them would say take them what you're saying is stupidity what you're staying is nonsense and he would right away refute and they would go back and forth could you imagine teenagers talking this way to this guy to his genius and this personality but that was a style that was a certain literacy style that they had where the what's called I think I told you this was there listed the writer the passion for Torah wanted and required this format of learning and if you didn't argue this way he went you weren't they think a star student you know so there's something there's something very special about the chaos at Masada that we need to hold I - but of course but it says here potato mitzvahs let's read you this before we finish glue spin again the word gluten is the Yiddish translation of tava of Tizen gluten - desire to lehtinen not just I want to learn I have a passion journey I have a tither to learn listen to trauma Mitzvah I have a private to do a mitzvah on Davenant metaphysis I wanted a blue with a vitality than enthusiasm for Hebei the residual here you they never surely kiss so now the question is who is going to discern and make experience godly says that Eben's the net literally kiss in other words the nefesh obamas is the cause a Masada is the power of desire and temptation and lust and and and that Gloucester but who now takes it and puts it brings it into godly matters of learning governing and doing mitzvahs says that efforts that never Shirley kids but never Shirley kids whenever said Bobby's how puzzling tell us now we also have well what are you wait a minute now officially kids thank you that you want this but it the message of Bobby says I want just the opposite I want a party with this energy I want to break the curfew it's nighttime it's a nightlife Thursday night we have to go out to this is awesome party or to ban you who then party it sticks there's no work of Friday what am I going to stay home like a sleeping dog the honeymoon 7:00 a.m. so how do you accomplish peace between the knife is Obama's the intermediary look what he says Muhammad mood Sabine a.m. the intermediary between the net facilities nature bombers who never just seriously is is the human ration of soul safe whole saiful says hey guys if you go out tonight Thursday night the party you're getting arrested if not a rest that you're getting a fine so you better party at home okay do you want to sit in jail or pay a thousand dollars well you want to you won't you want to stay out of trouble use your safe home so the Netflix of sickness is key and this goes back emotional to the point that the leverage of sickness is what is the place of free will it is the it is the the drive with the man that deserves whether this is right or wrong that either who's right now nefesh our bodies unofficially kiss but we'll stop here they missus em and we'll continue on Sunday any any questions comments anything I mean I think this was a good a good discussion wasn't it every time I learn yes that's really talking to all of us that's why we learned these my mother you know I could learn so many other types of classes my mother but the previous rebel he he's a psychologist pirate Selassie he Mohnish goes into you and he takes it apart so that exactly the kiss kiss and so that you have you have food for thoughts at this sharpest when you're Dublin and you're under your talents you try to remind yourself of some of the things that we learned and think about it and and then maybe the Shabbos table discuss it with your wife and your children and guests then it becomes very very real everyone have a great shoppers and only sort of favors which everyone Sunday's I deserved the chalice the chalice
