Practical Chasidus w Rabbi Chaim Dalfin - Maamar Vata 1934 #4

okay so now I want to go back just to because we want a little fast towards the end so I want to go back to page 159 and explain a little bit maybe even we learn a little bit inside because we kind of rushed we're at a point here where we have finished with the opening statement quoting daniil in his prayer of goes and which we say Monday and Thursday starting next week and I really want young I'm serious take out a sitter at some time please become familiar with what you're saying I'm Monday and Thursdays and you'll see a lot of these took him there and an underline them and focus on them and understand that this is not you know we're learning about by trying to choose my marring discourses that are relevant to our daily life you know when I choose our mind my try as much as possible so it says here the Neil says listen us and see our desolation see the desolation of the base our meekness of yerushalayim see see her bait hooray a so when you say when you when you talk to a Shem and you ask a shame to see it begs interpretation does God see does God have eyes does God have ears and I'm sure everyone has thought about this as you whether you look if she was a boy a teenager an older adult a younger adult you know what does me God seasoned years and the Rumba in the mo Rehanna for him and the guide for the perplexed which is not an easy safer it's a safer you know the same in yeshiva I don't know if the only you heard this when you were in your Shiva but be careful in learning the motohama who him in the Damona you could call it with one the more read the guide you know why because you might go to sleep with a solid question with no answer and wake up on Appa chorus a heretic because you don't have an answer you know what yeah okay but what's the idea that the questions are straightforward where is God who is God how is God the questions are easy it's like chewing gum back together you put these add up that you can chew and it's no big deal but to come out with a clear answer that makes sense that is much more difficult so if you go to sleep with a question you might wake up there's no answer but on the contrary a non-believer hospital so therefore before you go to sleep talk the motoharu him learn that during the game day where you have time to try to give yourself an answer the the the the saying is is is a an eye-opener to understand verses in the Torah and tanaga that talk about God's omnipotence God's existence God's reality this is what the miner is getting into now so we're really getting into a very philosophical issue but it's very relevant to our Emunah and daily behavior and that ever says to understand this we have to look at the the idea of see because daniel says habayit order a look and see so he says what does that mean and therefore he brings you ready Moshe - mad Russian which contradict each other seemingly can't contradict each other one Methodist says godsey's with one eye quoting the verse another man and then it says God sees with two eyes which is it how many eyes as God has how many eyes shouldn't have and with how many I see looking boroughs so the magic says I have an answer for you when the Jews when we do it a sham once he's looking at us with two eyes were all tsadikim or o holy and righteous real holy rollers that slow Makarova food saying holy holy holy but when we goof up and we take it hiatus and we take a little dope and we smoke up then we haka SHINee can we play around you know just having a little fun Hashem says hey guy there's time for fun and just kind of fun and you know okay to take a legalized marijuana maybe to get away with it but let's look at other things in your life it ain't that great ah what i io knee look at you with one eye because you ain't cutting it you ain't doing it that's the way the measure is resolves if the contradiction in verses between one and two eyes then that that's one measure shishi gashira then he brings a medicine in in the brain racist braces which speaks about a from a venal and it says a mush an alien a of the eye of the eye one eye of a Sammis to his fearful one zav remove either wait a minute he just told me that when the verse uses one eye or the first to a time when one is not doing the will of God how can a form of people's not to be the will of God when the Torah itself the tone of not matter says I'll kill you die T now I know kid it came out that you're a god-fearing person that was after test number 10 because motion until test number 10 where he was willing to bring his only son heats up as a as a carbon until until then every other test could have been interpreted as self aggrandizement jumping into a fire taking your own life is an act of courage and self-sacrifice but it could be explained you know how the kamikazes they gave their life for the day they prepared for their country will have them those terrible terrorists and moms angry all around us there it's our play - whether it be the Virgin's that they dream about or the money that the family is going to get or their hatred there's a reason for their craziness for their terror in other words it doesn't prove that they're doing it for God they're doing it for themselves and the Medra says and the Torah says only test number 10 when Hashem says bring your son as a carbon that one cannot be explained as I'm doing it for myself because no normal person would bring their son as a sacrifice no it's an oxymoron in Hebrew austere I mean a obey it's a contradiction yourself you could do both logically but with someone else and your son and your only son as Bigfoot as in people lives look now I know a toe that's why it says after now I know Rajee says so the rebus says if we're talking about an individual like like this Avram the holy of the Holies and nevertheless the medicines pain Hashem the eye Euler not eyes tell you they ah've is upon the fearful one referring to a from so how can you tell me that when the when the Torah old Otonashi uses the word I in the singular it's referring to a situation where we're going up that's that's what the river brought here as a contradictory to the earlier is what I said clear understand if not that's right that's right and it's even a third one it's even a third one which I was quoting Hebei Torah a if you look further in your sitter you'll see I think it's the beginning of a paragraph with a large word how bait or a do you see that or not hold on bet a bet look at that look right so so he's jumping between you know three and maybe even another one yeah but the whole section the whole section is is it's the trailer of the Neal so right okay stand why you will get in computer did you follow did you follow that you follow what I just explained about the mid Russian and what the issue is over here well what are you gonna confuse Aki's now cocktail is your ear you know Benjy emotional look bender here and how babies look it's three different words and in the first the first chapter or two we spoke about the were the first chapter we spoke about the words that actor why does he use the words that uh and now and heartache he didn't really he just mentioned it but he didn't really focus on it and now he's focusing on the word hih bait see and look and he wants to understand what the scene is once mostly motion once he introduced the idea of how bait see he asks the question what does it mean God sees and now is going to in turn so he brings these contradictory met Russian which is going to lead us into the Rambam explanation of what it means that God sees and from here and from here hi hello and from here and from here is going to go and explain the overall issue of God seemed understand so so again because the deal I'm glad you bring you this up Moshe this isn't just for you this is for everyone to understand the systematic continuation over here in the minor it starts off with the tail of the meal and he looks like you say he looks closely at the wording and then he finds the middle of the trailer the lil says God look hih bet Tibet and Hillel asked the other day the difference could we're not getting into Hobart or a/c look what does it mean God sees so from there he brings a mad rush 'ok source for seeing and he says well sometimes it says god sees with one eye and sometimes with two eyes what's the difference and he says how can it be that you know because i've rama v nose and from so I just was explaining at length why I've run was so special and therefore if if according to the other Madras it God will it set us mcs with two eyes it means it's perfect that's good so it should have said about a from God sees him with two eyes not with one eye so therefore he says to answer this and to understand this we need to clarify what it means that God sees where does he bring this clarification from he brings it from the Rambam aura and devotion let us now go into the text page 159 and learn and actually read what the Rambam says okay oh beta rambha it's four lines from the bottom towards the the fourth words from the end of the path of the line obey Rambam the mariner who sends kala give up 82 tests the Rambam comes along and he explains not in his book of laws which is known as yada kazakh but in the guide Mora means a guy navoo him for those that are doubting or an English a guide for the perplexed in Hebrew we usually called them Tamura if you suddenly hear someone say what does the mother say what is the word lower referred to the guide for the perplexed so beta Rama that I'm gonna explains there she snowman I feel so firmly say there were early philosophers FINA Sufian hurry shown him say hey my men and women si si Matias butterface Allah they believed in the existence of a tree blessed and virtuous creator they believed the God in simple English ella ella Shalem him they say que haya dear salam ila that the knowledge of heaven God's knowledge he wrapped you dear citrusville a Moses it's only an intellectual knowledge and not an actual movies comes from the word burrows new Haas tangible it's not tangible its intellectual so in other words Hillel when we say a seven knows what we mean that Shem knows God knows God knows intellectually but not that God's intellectual knowledge has any kind of reality to it here that that was the understanding yoni of the early of some early philosophers Visio and this is how they explained the verse viagra and they said lo único the lay oven he God does not see that bloody yoga and he doesn't understand yes I thought I don't know I I was searching I don't know at this point if someone has a crooked that's here handy please look it up but it could be Hillel it could be that it's in the craftsmen of Monday to Thursday night something rings a bell but I will continue and if I find that I'll let you know and if you find that please let me know ok so he says but they they they use that they use that verse to explain and justify their understanding of us said that when it says lo ye Raqqah below you of emotion God does not see and God does not hear it means that practically doesn't even see intellectually does but the Mojave in a tangible way low Erica and they didn't find that here this they didn't find that as a contradiction to belief in God because their understanding of God is an intellect the God is an intellectual experience so I believe fully there is a creator but if you asked me what is the creator all about an intellectual experience K who is but if and this is all from the Rumba next page 169 K who is but if not even is God Mamie sue K have Bemis gay have Hussein and they argued motion that God is way above the notions of tangibility because hip nail development and Ibrahim associated with human talent and experience in other words they looked and they said it's a downgrade it's an embarrassment for Hashem to have to do with him with tangibility that's our Chevy are you out of your mind that's God we need a god to deal with taking the garbage out in the morning like I just did a few minutes ago and making sure everything was dumped out of the dumpster come on come on what's with you he God is for the intelligence that was their argument falseta who hit her first cause she says the rhumba this was the response and and kind of the mustardy the hocus-pocus our custody friend to lover that man who he calls the Rambam calls the fussing cavernosa l dubba that Malala mashallah the RAM bombs intent with the words Kabbalah Takako psycho Sid if Apophis accosted the proof of the fossil first adopted by her chorus my physically using recognition of intellectual prowess be hombre by saying Moshe hears the words have no time owes them the the ozan the bending of the year and yo sir I am the creation of the I the rambam quotes those verses on the via her in young man notices say this memories and he explains those ideas in an a tangible way and how it doesn't contradict Hashem and he explains what's the ROM bombs explanation the whole pile Kleem in a tailored take someone who makes clear vessel mimicking him amongst other vessels in a Malaysia oil her NASA ru de ecclesia whoo-hoo masu 8/8 of miss races are clearly if the poem the creator of the vessel would not put his style C or into the vessel la joya colossus of the ke ugly he would not be able to make the vessel if you know this isn't pushing up Bucky and having a machine makes something when you are the poet and you're making a piece of art and you're forming a cleanly your heart and soul is in that creation is this clear so far okay okay if it's not the data table if it's not creation this was CUDA about about the kaylee and we put inside it we learned a different liner about this about allocate out this concept okay thank you and any cool but I'm glad that you know but okay the huh muscle but then he I believe this the first time and all of our learning we're actually learning a piece of boring you lose him and it's home and it's a citation from the motor but if I see this yes I said this you're right there's a lot of lot of it talk about the scaly idea but look at the way the Rambam you know the ROM bombs wording of style and the motor is very philosophical that's why the language here is very different than the normal language of our cities it's a philosophical style it goes along with the early writings at the time of that period if you look at others contemporaries furring who wrote there are sog and and others you know it's a certain very philosophical language and you could say that the rom bombs language countered the Philip the philosophers of the time so if you want to talk to someone who's into philosophy you gotta talk the language if you gotta talk down what the philosophers it means nothing to them so that's why in the guide in the motor he uses a very different language than in the yogic azúcar in the anyway maja muscle buzz buoy and the muscle in her nap Oklahoma saya ingin uh treated but mostly if the designer of a needle would not bring the image of a needle to his mind and to his heart who maybe nasal attack Lisa and he would not have a good understanding Hillier of what a needle Ultima should look like and be and its purpose well the needle would never be the needle that comes to be I said to slow myself Rita that would complete the act of sewing saddest lamest Aria in its most complete way but tassels are famous in the ultimate best way borough you have a needle says that the Rambam that if the creator of the needle would not understand the way a needle should be and the purpose of a needle and the ultimate excellence that a needle provides for sewing and he would not insert all of that in the needle the needle will never be a proper needle in other words the creator of the piece being a needle be a copy at a piece of art needs to understand I could tell you as a writer pie in the sky relates very much to this but before I write before I write I need to have an understanding of the entire idea you know many times when I interview I was sitting yesterday and doing interviews with someone and Sydney Australia with someone here someone there about a subject matter that I want to write about and I don't begin writing until I can hear and formulate an idea in an opinion and I get that from talking to people and researching and hopefully coming to a conclusion that I'm comfortable with could be someone else's I'm comfortable with or not happy with or disagrees and that's fine every writer every artist every creator is entitled to their understanding but you need to have a grasp of the entire idea and sometimes people say oh but don't don't mention this and don't say this and you know and I say to them don't don't be worried what you're telling me goes into this ear and goes into this storage place and it's for me to have an understanding what I put forth in writing is of course a whole different experience because it's for the reader and the certain things a reader can handle should handle should know about and other things we follow the gomorrah's advice Maga Latifah you reveal a kapha all Mikasa - hayun and at the same time you cover up to 12 you know a good writer a good piece of writing follows that script that within the wrong line of information there are two lines that are invisible that's good writing that's a good piece of literature you don't have to say everything you have to say enough to make the reader understand there's more here you know and I've had it many times when people call me they say so what did you mean what tell me the secret both like what are you hiding you know so what why my sails because they're amber hello could you turn down your mute because I think it's disturbing a little bit others the the the Rambam saying that the the sayara the artist the the Baha Moffitt the the one who creates the needle or the creator of the Kaley he puts himself into it behind him Chavez a look at the wording further the minstrel tomorrow yuvan l'm a low-key moose politician who are share a shame is butter for your salad now I want to point out that the Rambam uses hear the words Hillel everyone look at the words misko riche on these are classical words of Jewish philosophy musk Alicia what is Muslim reasoning so we translate less first thought the first idea so the Moose coalition who the first idea that comes to mind about God is about a sham I shall ascend his Butterfield song that the holy blessed of Shem showing the tackler famous is complete throughout beliefs from caesarian without any deficiency the in Cain had a headed Musa they have who say Dabney Odom who begins the sudden believers committee the the Rambam says if God is complete if God is Muslim the fact that the Philosopher's say that God is not tangible is a deficiency in God's true slain would how can you be complete and say that he's here but not there he's of an intellectual experience but not a Moose's tangible experience that album says that's a contradiction to God to the slaves of God the closing in Masan in my man and that ever stand the Rambam says this is I'm not well so see I think this is not their ever saying this idea of the of the Rambam corresponds with this saying Aveda secreta sh a serf whose flame is lit sorry you know there's a safer call that way the Sakai dish and in the safer I've way the sukhoi dish which was you know written either during the RAM bombs trying for after but it goes back and that way the goddess writes that Hashem is a serf God is infinite slay moot shall a complete belief system without deficiency ok saying she look look at the next words these are beautiful words brought if I see this yelling in many times okay shame look cloth mobility bag rule and just as a sim has co-op power the bill T boggsville in the infinite costea slow cause befooled so does god have power in the end in the finite the employment and if you're going to argue she yes will cause the beauty bug would that God only has power in the infinite the anal cosmic vu and God does not have power in the end of limit and finite says they're both Asarco - look at the words after maja said slim you say you are deducting from ashens completeness you cannot argue that God is an existence and a reality that relates only to the infinite but not the finite and that's what the early philosophers were arguing they argued that if you say Hashem identifies with fight finite and amou cease and tangibility it's a downgrade to a sham it's an embarrassment to God it's it's it's not that says their album I disagree with you any quotes that voices are craters and that way this better says in it's a powerful words Hillier did you ever see this language in any other book of considered selling them or anything else I don't hear you you got to put on your mute for me to hear you right okay but if in a bag in a box I see this if a bad fasteners this is this is mentioned quite often into my mahram of the seven rebellion this quote from void is a British Burroughs birth did you are you familiar with the same bar of Gordie Howe I didn't hear your answer you'll remember the quote to say yes will cause the eternal field my fish yes yes will close the builted Volvo cast yes close big village no no no no no there is a safer quote avoid the circle - I forget now who is written by but it's a thousand years old I think you know ok so let me just continue and finish they serve and this is also part of the I vote the summers my Kazan turned it off this hill oh you're my answer who slay Musa Dagh Philo he says there ain't some God being infinite is a slain would the whole of the Fela it's a completion of everything not let explain us in other words you could look at infinity as a issue for itself we are limited we're finite and if we say us endless infinite that's enough and that's the way most said the early philosophers understood God God is infinite and if we adapt God being infinite we understand he's not like us and that's why you hear guys that's what they argued Hashem is only interested in the intellectual kind of experience because their war of is infinity can be experienced and understood but in taking out the garbage I don't see God's infinity so they said let us take another garbage have to deal with death it doesn't that was their argued close along that way this equation says wrong wrong because your understanding of infinity and God being infinite is the limitation you have put God in a box in a definition of infinity and that's not Hashem Hashem is slay musa delaila the cultivate perfection and it is the ultimate perfection guess what the garbage is also important finite is important the world we live in that was created by a sham and desired by a Shem is of most importance so if you strip Hashem from us real interest in the finite world you don't have slay most you don't have perfection let me continue over there he have done it her medical of a cylinder a philosopher and this is how David MLF showed the philosophers that their understanding of God is wrong so in simple in simple words the philosophers the philosophers argued God is of a spiritual nature and if God is of a spiritual nature here for what follows is Intuit think electoral realm is a depth is a depth for for spirituality but the physical finite realm is not is a contradiction it's not God that was their argument cause I won't double that mellow and he said God has an ear that he bends and he listens he has an emotion he has an eye that sees what does that mean that means that even the physical symbolism of an eye and has a place in the Godhead that's what other development of course SM of the of course and has no ears and has no eyes and has no pockets and has no of course that's all metaphors but the metaphors explain that eyes and ears can also natural and not only can you justify and complete consent and therefore the eyes and ears are important and therefore the meal the near miss Phelan his prayer employs this wounding why does he play this wording because he wants to show that here we are in girls we're suffering it's Corona we're locked up we need help here having help in spiritual experiences is not enough and the cookies were in the situation so he cries out to Hashem and there's a Shem listen listen see a bait see what's going down I need because Dad you are about flameless completion and perfection which includes the physical as well yes whether you want to say something no no no you know I said he said he's referring to go with a melon Festus I see okay everyone yoni yoni did you find it's a very you know it's a it's a philosophical piece you got to use your cup you know and I shan't benched us but you understand that a thousand years ago this this was a real real debate among philosophers this girl today you know we're interested in pizza and pizza and soda you know or what you think I'm saying I mean who's thinking about these things but a thousand years ago this was a you know what is God so and and and and and the Rambam and to try to prove because never they were even who were losing their mother and they were giving up and they were saying that if Sam doesn't hear me and and and and and if I had to say it's important today to especially going through such a trying time you know I I'm sure they're people some people are saying where are you I said what are you doing if you're god how can you let this happen so when you learn about this it strengthens your a muna and there's much more to say and to see how the rebel now develops this idea in facility words in terms everyone have a great day be Marcia and we'll see everybody
