Practical Chasidus w Rabbi Chaim Dalfin - Maamar Hatei 1934 #10

172 were were a middle of a quote from the safer ho accordion or some call it the safer it green who was amongst the the Jewish philosophers and and and intellectuals within a context of Torah hence the safer was received by Claudius role in a positive way and what does he say he says that there there he talks about the advantage to the human being and of course the Jewish person over the other species the inanimate the vegetation and the living this is what we're a middle of quoting so we're a little of a quote so let's go itself 172 it's five six seven lines from the bottom of the fourth the fourth to westward on the line over zebediah over there whom avaya whoever has this commuter your computer please officer whom are fired and with this idea that the human being out does any of the other species he explains my Meribah say without is teaching a saying a quote of the salam him the sages in the gomorian Earvin my merit here it's a teaching of revere what does it really say - if there is a in a of a joke chapter 35 I think verse 11 and it goes like this mouth a new me bahamas audits you have taught us more so than the animals of the earth obey if I show my you and from the birds of the heaven yet hawk may new you have given us wisdom what is going on over there and II of this is a continuation of of several of several verses that that's preceded it where more men you know if is all about mankind men's complaints and to learn from Eve stop complaining he lost so many children he had such hardships and nevertheless he came out strong so if in general is a very important safer to understand and to build our of the toughy that's why Eve was written not to make us morbid and broken here is a person who is a godly servant and what does he get as a reward that he loses his children god forbid that's not the purpose its to learn from him that have strong the tougher than among us so there are verses earlier in chapter 30 and 34 and earlier when man is complaining and he is arguing that you know he deserves better so he says mouth a know the mofei know here the root of this word mofei know is LF left huh there is a left customer we've learned this before there's a first I've taught you homo I left carbine I've taught you understanding so Elif you know we translated as a thousand right and then there's a loop like in the army right but the there's also a word Elif meaning meaning teaching smartness a cleft cleverness from the word a Luca mouth a new you have given us man such understanding that's greater than the animals of the earth who may I far from naive you may know and you have made us humans smarter than the birds of the heaven so there episode the Ikhwan says like this you know he's pointing out two men what are you complaining about I've given you something that the birds don't have and the animals of the earth don't have but you human being has has it what is that intelligence wisdom hokhmah intellect and therefore use your intellect for understanding God's richness and and humanity and creation and stop complaining and and live life to the fullest and go on that's the context of the verse over there you could look it up there many commentators but that's basically the context comes along an objection on end of the murder in a dove in 100 or minor deviation Sara Buchanan on this on this verse he expands the following quote even mother knit knit a term if the tailor was not given hope you know what made them we would have learned that known sneels maker pool we quoted it yesterday modesty from a Fethullah attacked the Gulman Imola and thievery stealing robbery gazelles Ella min the mother from an end we would learn we would know these issues from these two animals so but the fact is the Tator teaches us it says lay eggs away so we don't we don't derive how to be modest from a cat we would have if the data would have not been given so in K go to the next line inkay therefore how they are high what we understand from a negation is interpretation is that the living the animal in fill humbly even though it is material very material how do you later you said L mindless on the Fosters tends to be more on the spiritual side remember we mentioned yesterday and there are certain species that by their nature they're more Nazis dick so light so full so sensitive that ever says animals have that and we discussed it had a good discussion about it and I thought you know very important that whole idea and then Moshe commented very nicely to me privately under whatsapp that that you know this is a reason and it will set it off some class you know people bond with their animals here it is because why because they find in the animals violent because because animals are mindless not feels it's not on the side only of Milas hungriest of corporeality and then coarseness and grub height and body body body body building body building to body buildings LA Fitness and all that nonsense right you want to be strong go to exercise yes you must go to a club well if you need to you need to well what's what's nice one time I got a free membership while I was down in Florida a few years ago for LA Fitness so I thought you know I'd go early on and hide myself in a corner and do some exercise because I didn't have equipment by my son and where I was staying I went there and I ran out and never went back again because you know even though I went early half of the people half undressed both male and females so it wasn't for me and I checked that so want us to be careful what they're doing exercise to be in a mode of sneeze and I don't elaborate but that's a very important point because we're talking about here learning fears from a cocoon from even from from a cat right coach Kay needless to say to learn sneers from the data so the tradition says that a big penis says and this is why the verse in Eve was very supportive of an object that is thought that animals have refinement and we would have learned sneels from the animals so this brings out the virtue of an animal's nevertheless nevertheless the human being is even greater let's continue inside but happy coffee and sabotages now these are animals that have a natural bodily sensitivity but then there are because we picked in the shread animals the Fox not only and the like certain animals not only by nature do their do they gravitate towards the spiritual refinement side but they also you see intelligence in their behavior we call that happy coffee the because the cleverness and shrewdness of certain animals yes for Hansel they have some amount of intellect from the taste of lemon is mama's mom guess what it's very interesting I don't know how you could prove this but that ever says it in fur it can be proven there seho is increased from time to time so yeah I guess they give training an animal maybe that's what he's training the animal and then the animal can do ad si I don't know more acrobatics and more steak and more wait wait a minute the the dog trained the dog to be before them for the blind person or now the trained the dogs for the for for us smelling and and and finding the terrorists and things like that so you see again possibly the pet again you don't know if that's a an instinctual train you don't know if the training is touching the instincts I don't know the instincts and and from that the animal the dog is able to sniff out and find that you know the bombs and the terrorists and the issues or is it coming because of their intelligence here is a eerie saying you only unison here is saying that the two things one is the sensitivity natural sensitive animals number two is talking about the cleverness the biggest share the highest so that is identifying within the animal there there shrewdness there safely and he says I mean a simple ahem miss my mother's mom you know what you see that would you listen honey patient their pictures their sweetness and cleverness is increased as time goes on if you work with it for pain howdy-ho we are gone this is why this verse an eel what yes okay thank you okay okay thank you well okay have a little of them so therefore ears quotes this verse as as Moosa as scolding and proving to man the other and he goes back to the quote from Yu Xiaoyu from the doctoral Chavez concerning the stroller yoga Amelie is bringing Israel did not know my nation didn't meditate in other words from the verse and ears guys from the person Eve we see clearly the advantage of the human being over an animal even a fruit animal and nevertheless you guys are not listening you're not you and you're being you know what you're doing that you're not supposed to so that's the the proof and the scolding that that that you Shia in in when when it's calls us Eden to do chuhwa he he says that's the way they're ever the representor pretty just shy is spoken as not just you know behaved battery saying you have something you have one up on the animals you have real intelligence not just an acquired intelligence that's the whole cashier over here I have olive continued in there Hariyama dabit who moved oh oh nevertheless the Madaba the fourth species which is called the speaking species ie humanity humans who move the legardie may have de men say mayor claw is completely completely separate from the three domains the animate the vegetation the living who may have blademen be fraught and especially the human species is so far from the inanimate on the coma could nevertheless in le they her via I remember all of this he began this paragraph quoting the post had not originally smile when I said you know my mother is criticizing this philosophy phosphorus it says Hashem bends his ears he doesn't hear he'll hear you and they argue got right as we discussed at length so now he goes and he asked the question Hillel why the ears and why the eyes why does double-quote use those two lens to make his analogy so now that ever summing it up listen and he says in the Como communing are you de career nevertheless through seed ria miss hobbit have Damien say color although Rhea brings together joins together the inanimate was man's intellect right you see a stone you see a rock you think about it you you you you you see where can I get the minerals are there minerals here you're talking about Iraq that's inanimate but your eyes see it and it triggers your mind to think about what can be done and what is the status of this rock and this and the same and that's the inanimate the M had Yuri said how his fabulous Haitian it's a servant or Famer and this is a rhetorical remark and although this joining of seed every year with the rock the inanimate is not as though don't think for a moment that the stone the brick the oven or the flame of the wall that you see is found oil - in actuality passaic all of them in your mind commissioning the combustion in sir Guth my muscles forever but Reese's yacht as it is when you pick up a rock by holding and grabbing at recess a yard you got the rock in your hand you have the rock it's in your hand are you gonna tell me bozo you're gonna tell me that when I see a rock the rock is in my head though the rocks not in my head the idea of the rock is in my head the thought of the rock of the stone is in my head but the stone itself is not in my head where you pick it up with your hand it's in your head it's in your hand so this is a rhetorical question that there ever is asking so seemingly your trunk I'm trunk they never say I'm trying to prove that seeing is so powerful that it can bring together two opposites ie the human and the inanimate right category number one and category number four of the four domains and his counter-argument is but you don't have it physically there it's only the idea whereas if you take it with your hand which remember we mentioned earlier this is called classics newer the movement the power of movement the power of movement actually has arrived in the hand that's his talented arguments as rhetorical remark and now he refutes it and he says we call my keys nevertheless had a mix tired Vanetta cuss discipline he says you're right there's no physical stone in your head but there is when you look at the stoner you understand the stone and all that you have made that styie comes to words here a picture in the mind's eye Vanessa very powerful word Kika and it's been engraved basically in your intellect you know something that's engraved is very different than just being written right writing is ink separate from a paper on a paper could be erased what about haqiqa haqiqa is in the stove coming from the stone just explain those at length of our cities I don't want to go into right now so the idea of haqiqa is a much deeper impact the impression of haqiqa is in a separate category in comparison to writing okay so that ever says listen to this you're right that physically when you hold a rock you have a rock but guess what what do you have in holding iraq nothing we're not talking about our internet if we're comparing remember the movement of the hand holding the rock versus understanding the rock and that ever says as far as subject is concerned as far as it making an impression in you where it becomes part of you like it's engraved in you from you that's that's only when you see it and you think about it and you can understand that you were to understand it holding it yeah so you know we could say like the out that ever has my myrrh and the rebus afterward expound on it I mentioned this year a few years ago you know it says that the relationship she died she did when I'm sleeping I shed fleming speaks about the relationship of us with hashem he uses a lot of metaphors so one of the metaphors that uses there is now you're see tamo see right my friend my lover my different adjectives to express the connection so one of the examples is given that there is there is the hug there is the kiss and then there is thus period the piercing eyes that two doves look at each other and it's used it's when our mother employs that as well so see this doubt that eben and different my mom says that there's that's even deeper than the hug and the kiss and and and and it's ways that length what does that mean what does that mean that means that you're so deeply attached when you look into each other's eyes without hugging each other and without kissing each other did you understand now go ask someone in the world out there they'll tell you hey you know one second he'll oh you know a hug the consolidated cases you know better go tell them well just looking at each other is really deeper don't think you're oh yeah Anna and I've talked about not the Glacial world the Jewish world the total world comes along to see this this is why you have to learn the scissors only if citiz you're gonna find this that really if you think about it the looking and of two people at each other's eyes is the deepest bond why because it's coming from a deep penis a hug into the valta cos i like you know oh it feels great no give me a hug and we need to do that a rabbi should for time to time hug his companies the male's what right right but so I'm saying the HUD is powerful this is also powerful this I see this a good to people see each other they could say goodbye say hello there's the whole idea of me today were in the corona environment and he'll was ready brought to our attention that this maybe maybe they're gonna forbid shaking hands forever and I sent in a reference to that he asked about anyway on that topic but and even the kiss is brought down in a bowl of sinister mushy kidneys is pair two pair mouth to mouth and it's if coming to the premiers it's the previous but but nevertheless doctor ever says that that the Tatem OCD the the looking the piercing of the dove one into the other touches the deepest okay wife but what give me just give me one thats interesting that's that's that that's interesting that's interesting beautiful to risk is a faucet Delta this comes from the outer that but but but that's that's another the could that it's a very interesting point that you mentioned but that's different I'm not I wasn't discussing that I love with the eyes which is very interesting to think about yes healing you wanted to say something [Music] interesting and you're saying and you don't have that experience in the hub of the kiss normally we cross this diction in a certain way but but when we're when we're looking at you people look at each other eyes they kind of create a hypnotic state together where that where they're no longer able to really focus on on details for things to get engraved in the grant votes to a different place to the brain thank you have there been any Studies on this issue that you're mentioning a hypnotic state of vision and deism Torah okay okay good thank you I'm good you said that I didn't put the two together why am I saying that because they're never saying here he's talking about the virtual yoni of seeing vision versus holding it in your hand so it's like you're reminding me the motion holding in your hand you're hugging someone you have them in your hand what greatest thing could that be it's not you you are smothering them great but it's not you what is it you what does it engrave than you vision that's what he's saying over here let's continue well think about it listen when you lift IDs we'll see this yeah you hear it and they have to think about it that's what this is bugging us this is a good you know I'm saying sometimes we don't understand it right away so think about it that's that's what you to do let's continue but the words that he uses jonasson is myths tire Vaness got this equally powerful words it is it becomes kind of digitized an image motion - miss tyre Vanessa and it's engraved in your minds train to be clear - Mia this is vision that episodes we find a similar thing with hearing survive out your day miscreants neighbor they are gone saying snowballing pseudonym dalam 7:03 hearing there's the joining of two people who are two very different separate people saying - from EMS Robert clear the deeper sell a zoo doesn't simply what happens you hear someone say something you your mind your say who joins it's mokuba at the time it becomes macabre to what was being said so there is a Bruce a connectedness that comes from powerful hearing okay so he spoke about vision now is tackling hearing okay that hearing also accomplishes this idea that it becomes part of you but you'll notice he doesn't say the words in the Steyr I don't see the words in the imagery is through vision right he was talking about hearing you know we say SH magistral the power of hearing the right of by Martin Tara coming up intuitive it's a chef's Lewis we heard what happens when you hear there is a bonding that God shall sue those who live them amenable Huff must be those of a dietary although your your friend the other person is totally separate from you in wisdom understanding and knowledge the same by me daysif and so to in his character will the heel of not free and in the approach of his soul totally different totally different be cold monkey nevertheless conscious a may I is it possible is it me the favor when he hears some wisdom ideas intellectual ideas some smart idea by using me the table or he hears about a good trait and character had a mishap in her coil the deep or the voice the sound is joined LFL azules of the other person your friend or whatever the other person speaking in my message felicia lawyer notices as nephesh i see it's not nafta job amis your human intellectual drive which is the the core issue that deals with intellect vallejo massacres had over and you now think and understand and comprehend what you heard who may be sickly and it illuminates it illuminates your mind or miss a freedom Zullo site and you become the a seduced with your friend the power of hearing listening right hello knows a good he a good therapist is good listener a good rabbi is a good listener and a good fundraiser is even a better listener one of the basic rules of fundraising is make your pitch and excuse me shut up you know some people they make their pitch they make their pitch and they go on on like their they show insecurity make your pitch put up zipper on your mouth and now the pressure is on the person thank you you're looking to get the donation from so we see the power of listening most a year you give you some fundraising is in the ability to listen to the other in a strong pitch quiet and then the other person has to respond so i'm just saying in various right let's continue their masters who shall you there clickers did he ever smear that ever such truthfully speaking this this is half-cooked that is calm accomplished through the through the powers of vision and listening and play Lim Maharaja Alameda they impact the impact is from the sea earth to the stoop to what's being seen so most of our area is the seer I'll have nearer to what he's seeing Omaha near air and from the observer boov who have been seen al hurriya on the seer hear that and that's why you have to watch our eyes the power of the eyes I don't even look my friends did neither what's being seeing impacts their ire and it's with you my friends and I want to tell you something when I was in seventh or eighth grade in high school thank so when I was in seventh and eighth grade and I don't know no 59 60 almost right - Lena Hooda right I remember it like yesterday because I heard it I wanted to show the power of hearing so my teacher our teacher in our English class he brought in a movie and it was for our history class I think and I still remember who was the singer and and what and what the song was part of the song and I've told you the best it was Elvis Presley and he sank those boots are made for walking and walk all over you now I didn't know Elvis Presley from from you hope it's you know I was that wasn't my life and I didn't know about these rock and roller but if songs this wasn't and this one time one time that I heard it in class I still remember it now you see how powerful hearing is and I'm serious I think to me that's that's a great example what what do I know I don't know I'm just telling you what I remember when I broke it you guys can laugh at me and it's fine cuz that's not my world I don't know this world I didn't grow up with this world but I what I just sang for you is what I remember and the power of hearing is so powerful so imagine if you hear us I see there's a song a soulful song when you're young and this is what I always say that we need in our house to play Hasidic addition music I don't mean today's pop music I tell you I criticize my own kids here they you know they consider all these Israeli songs Jewish music half of it sounds that great should use it and it is in my books non-jewish music it's not you know when I've run free that you know another and it's leymah these people and they saying they sang that came from a certain place they composed in a certain way and for sure hustled it from Russia or Ukraine or Poland or hungry the color Barabbas in you know cellar puppets Meyer you know and and it came from a certain perspective when your children and your grandchildren hear this music it makes a very big impact so let's go back to the moment I'm just saying we're talking about their schmear because in the envisioned as Hillel said you know it's kind of easier to understand but that's why I felt it was important to give a few examples that even smear even hearing joins there's a great historical side nefesh a unity of the soul and and as he says between the two people let's go further but hey no gun batteries so that ever says it's so too in good manners welcome Asus maximize the Gemara there's a whole concept the letters make you clever of Torah the letters math Chema's they bring Hoffmann and this is the argument why you look into the safer Torah even if you don't understand when you called for an Aliyah because the iciest Mishima's and so too when you learn the icy ice ARMA schemas the same three le puse been mu fish and so to seeing godly is in a tangible way dark eyes each one of my dad should be Molina when we talk about seeing God okay they said you know we think Oh see you can't see God you may be meditating it's true but that ever says that it you have to meditate on something gosh me in other words you look at the situation and you reflect back and realize the gardens there but it takes a governess me for you to look at the mind's eye most said the mind's eye it's the mind's eye but the mind's eye needs to have something to apply its mind's eye well imagine imagine your mind's eye on a celestial being that you've never seen I've never heard I remember the red but once the middle if I bring you like smile he broke out he said I've never seen an angel you know we talked about angels no who's seen an angel you could say yo comes to a bris and maybe I had this experience that have felt it felt itself angel like that's true but so what I'm saying is that ever says here that when you when you have Leah selling coos but Mukesh which is of course a very lofty experience actual seeing God he says you still need to get it from looking at the gosh me the physical thing and coming to such a loss the experience that you've seen God and that's why you might say when indicator when I shed much as I want to see your face no no no you will because in my face and live so what does Rashmi say so what did he see you know these was this chilling shall roast the knock of the tomb of Sorrows in the back of head think about that he couldn't see a human being can't see a Shem cuz you can't survive so what does not she say so what my thought on this is my back my back the knock of the tomb of Sorrows in other words it still needs something physical to see God you you need something physical it's exactly what that ever says here so that ever says who DAF K now be enough Gulf approaches and as we said before with US Gulf apprentice who and how to experience the highest lofty experience with SM through divine providence so divine providence requires you to have oh gosh mr. King and experience the physical world came the Unisphere D'Onofrio to bowdabra we have a concept when it comes to hearing the soul expires through the speech you have a soul experience through speaking in other words there is speaking and there is speaking there's one the some speaking which is cursory speaking bright speaking but it doesn't touch your soul and then sometimes you say something and in those words not say your sub bowdabra the soul expresses itself through your words that's a very different type of speaking but nevertheless it's the speaking words which I heard in which the other person hearing it he says he's coming from a soul perspective and you we all know that sometimes we hear something you know it's good it's intelligent but it's not soulful and sometimes we hear something just and we say that's a soulful remark the person's coming and expressing their soul HR people shall Zul us your holy father is a place of nefesh he says sometimes the zoo laughs your friend your the other person can say something and impact you so much that you have what school clothes on that cessation of the soul exploration of the soul you can't just you melt usually ends with a cry or Acorah laugh and I'm saying it's so powerful where words can't can't in handle the the feeling of them is some of the soul this fabulous who are you there smear that ever says all this points to a joining and ask those a unity that comes through hearing the hey Nigeria player but over Anita he brings now a proof for this idea that the one seeing with vision has an impact I was being seen any quotes anomalous initially commenced the coast of clave iron a good I who you voted who you vitae he accomplishes bro huh when someone gives you something and it gives it to you with his whole heart he doesn't have any jealousy you know yeah this we have a word for a given yeah you probably remember that word he can't forgive forgive means I can't stand the fact that you have such good that's a very bad meter and it sometimes it's difficult it doesn't come always in a coarse way you know refined way well why does he have so much good why is he blessed so much toy fire the good I the one who's the opposite of the fire not being able to forgive to totality to tolerate the fact that someone else is blessed but he has a good eye who you fight us he creates the brother by the other person look looking inside because at AFI and marbeth alayzard of our minds his brother when someone who's has a good eye looks that something he draws brother into the other situation and the other person that's not the literal meaning of the verse the literal meaning is that the one who has a good eye is blessed here yoni that I was saying clarify in summarize a good whose availeth he accomplishes brother by the other person the devil is in the case was a huge meal so the rabbit says we've now concluded kind of discussing the advantages that see that vision and hearing have now Yoga mu is fabulous the Snyderman in frog new comedy he repeats and and sums up his point through seeing and hearing is the joining of two distinct and up the not opposite separate classes I should have dug member gsella minor now it goes back to the verse opinion indignant alien that develops essence in Psalm 90 for her light is a ash and bends his ears Holly is mom you don't think he hears of course it does and he ate said iron creates the eye a layup and you think he doesn't see of course it does Shanaya caveat and from morally speaking God sees mahaprabhu plot and he Providence over every detail the holy yoniyahav Tatum no matters that happen here on earth Palin Venus cook him they ascend and they're engraved lamella in heaven everything we do is seen and heard and remember it makes an impact so much so that it's cool it's engraved in heaven oh my CI gazelle when you close in you know I love my law so now we understand an answer to the question that he asked the beginning what is this idea of on heavenly I and I in heaven and the idea of an air in heaven so that ever says this it sways to us he has gotta practice that's a scuffle practice the answer to questions what does it mean a heavenly I it means her sin being musky earth being providential in every detail of one's life well my height I'm the toughest Nicholas tedious me and that's why Goverdhan others chose specifically these two hours of the soul the rear vision and smear hearing when his questionable Coubertin because they are the two within us that join things together so double Ameland didn't just say God hears and God sees he meant to say he what he was saying is what he was saying is that the power of seeing and hearing is expressed through a scuffle brothers on each detail and that was his reputation to the philosophers who argued God is not interested in in the details of - means in other words they argue God is not providential in every detail and cover them Elif by quoting the iron the ear is saying just the opposite and he says for though I tell you like I also saw and this is the verse that he began the minor with that bend your ears for this awesome benzotine who smile and here picasa never has shed open your eyes array a and c so he's calling upon he's quoting the partnership to use his ears and his vision graduation maimie to see the great desolation that among us rock god forbid show you slow but gala of use this is he's referring now to dunya to Daniel that the Neil says to a Shem in other words door that melon has said it just in general came along the Neil and he's already in go loose and the Neil is saying what that see a chef seen here the terrible desolation of the Jewish people that are sitting the girls and you are divine providence Providence you we know that new no that was the the meals Fela Oh ball as it up some some hears it and sees it and he comes to our salvation without some minutes or to save us from any form of of pain and agony that's sir so I think it's a very appropriate end to this minor that now and it's a time when we're going the difficulty but Hashem I hear that it's really becoming better that the doctor rose in here in Crown Heights they say didn't have one patient with corona related matters a full week with you know Khurana you know which is above a bit bro huh so the the rebus says here the Neos Fila is happening more and more and it should be in a way that it shouldn't come back you know it shouldn't come back that might gain for hospice surely because we took a big toll and we have to learn from it and we will learn from it like housing health got you know Beecher mayor cough cough is the world's greatest cousin he spoke at this fundraiser for the Hawks Olaf I have solos on they had the other night and he thanked us Allah for saving his life bringing him to NYU is it lives a block away from me here in Borough Park but he said you know I wish I would dive in Yom Kippur at Neila I wish I would have the feeling of true ver that I had laying in NYU not knowing if I'm going to live or not you understand so there's what to walk away with to be thankful to a Shem and to remember as we get butterfish m healed and we're back to ourselves that don't take things for granted and every single moment you know thank a sham and and and and and be an evidence m and and really live with God and and it's trying to you know to forget about all these trivialities and and and if you I don't have this I don't have that don't this book of my life and the opposite of life and you're worried about you know it's all small change like the source of all change anyway guys have a great Shabbos okay yes yeah yes positivity bias what a book I mean I tell you this especially for time now for these times get this book my father gave it to me at present it is an unblemished reading it foot okay you only after you finish share it with other people have a great job as every we'll see you next week Sundays idols will start a new mind I'll let you know what's my man Moshe and Moshe will send out copies okay take care take care [Music]
