Practical Chasidus w Rabbi Chaim Dalfin- maamar Vata 1934 #5

so yesterday we we had this discussion where the frita Cadabra brought the motor Hannibal him a section from the Rambam with the Mora which talks about the early philosophers what they believed and they basically believe that the abus their God can relate to the intellectual or spiritual part of the world but the physical tangible stuff he doesn't care about it he doesn't relate to it and elsewhere it says he allows kind of the stars and and and and the constellations he allows them all to deal with it and the the Rambam said quoted the Ovilus ha'qodesh the safer voices are Kadesh that if that's your belief then you are limiting hashem and you're basically living my sham to what's called the chaos have league who'll the power of infinity and you're saying that a sham is in the box of spirituality and infinity but when it comes to fry night and gaseous and the material you don't need God for that and gods not their house Sharon as essence is not there and the I vote this hakodesh says if that's your argument then you're making a visceral a deficiency in God or better said in his language you're not getting the sleigh Musa the Kayla remember those words the flameless flameless means complete flame would you're not getting clay moist one moment please slay myself de cuello yes what do you want to say yeah I didn't get a chance a you know give me give me give me a few days a piece of [ __ ] and it's a shell so slay most of the quarry look yesterday I got the references for motion motion abroad asked about I quoted the the idea two days ago of you reveal at a father and you cover up to twenty and I was wrong I think I was wrong that I said it it came from the laws of theists and the Baisakhi say maybe I'm not wrong but the source that I found so far has to do with intimacy intimacy that when the husband and wife were intimate there is a way of going about it and it's based on the Gomorrah so that was my research yesterday so now we'll research a mr. Shen the I voters are Kurdish but anyway says the rambha that dover de mela proves to the philosophy and he equals them be know by Aryan bomb understand you bores of amongst the nation very harsh words over Ceylon Messiah evil and you fools Makai cos evil when will you comprehend right and and and he says there is metaphors in the Tator Hanoi toy isn't hollow you schmuck he friends is here see he enjoyed Sarah another yeah it so now of course if you take it literally Hashem has no ears Hashem has no eyes it's absurd to think that way but if you understand that it's all part of a way of describing what a sham does in the world then the physical body parts are an enhancement of understanding God so when you talk about let's say the right the right we know represents less of kindness the right hand of a Shem meaning Hashem in this situation whatever the situation is applies the FISC asset what if it says the left the left represents cavora this means that you're getting from the limited source of God the discipline source of God you're also getting but you're not getting as much or you getting with turns you're getting with conditions so that's the symbolism of the left let's take another verse we say um Rick burrows the emini to cut cane God's right to cup cami embraces me SMO local oroshi God's left is under my head what's going on Rick right and left what's going down yeah well you did get all the sudden God is a righty God as a lefty I mean is he Sandy Koufax was he Tom Seaver who is it right so the CUDA is a sheriff is that a righty Michelle is not a lefty but there is an aspect to supporting the head with smiley that even the smile even the left which is guevara which is not interested in supporting the head because it says you had clear your head clear your head from your nourishment and until you do that I don't want to support your head comes the persica says smiley palace LaRoche II that during the month of Evelyn increase rate depending on the time le this rate they resource of Shonna yom kippur asuka's mini ad says the fort periods and one of them we accomplish that even the left will support the end the emini the right not only will support this up kidding me it's gonna embrace me it's the bear hug god's bear hug is you meanie coming from the right all the savvy the verbage in the puss ik has a different meaning and it's a warm meaning and it's an embracing meaning in an enhancing meaning and a loving meeting and I want the same words so the Rambam in Marana vu him spends time on this idea because the early philosophers they I mean I know that the other thermal effect we quoted it calls them bores and and and like XE Lehmann fools but you have to stand over that melech is saying from where you're coming from from your education from how knowledgeable you should be your understanding of God is boorish and foolish he's not saying it to you and I because what do we understand what feeble-minded a little little little brains you know with little you know in the body and in Chabad back in Russia they would talk about this person and that person and and lapavitsas even would say you know they would say a cleaner mentioned cleaner mention he's a small person a cleaner mentioned a little brain Odom a massive a person who is considered in the Babbage what they said and other immense it was a wholesome individual not just the money but he character and in heart and a behavior and and the person just from his regular walk you know reminds me I was where as family's ancestral remember I was in sheriff Ezra haveá-- and someone pointed out to me a building in which the chubby narrow rabbi Weiden felt mrs. named lift and he was a big comic often I think he was the rub in the Coliseum sure as to there's two shows that right the girl with the literature davon and with the face even David Cassidy and I yeah yeah right yeah today they built it up as a ballpark Williamsburg Hungarian shoe because a Sackler raise the money for it and they're there from from guys out here and then they put up a butte and it's amazing it's really a beautiful shoe you know God bless them you know but Hashem Ione it was great it was it was like sitting here in Borough Park you know anyway but he used to be a little skeebo a brother there's nice piece of property but and the rub was this rap that should be there Rove who later had the yeshiva that should be the yeshiva rely him and students came from all over and his I think his name was Robin widen felt so someone pointed out to me just a few blocks down from that kebab shul on that little Street I forget what it's called on every sprint every sprint where there's the basemen alcohol over there they pointed out in that building that should be the rough lived so I said tell me yeah tell me a little bit what you saw because he saw him he said what I saw is every day would come out at a certain time and he'd walk in the street you know and it's a little Street 6:00 6:30 7:00 in the morning the cars are not going yet not that there's a lot of cars there club but and he says you could see a king walking in the street you can see royalty with and he wasn't you know with this biggish ii and a silver cane and his firm inc and hit play that game I shouldn't say that that's not being nice but you know you know saying he was a it was a comical Kamarov and I know that from Europe and he was really shocked aura but when he walked in the street you felt just looking at and he said there's a special there's a ye'd who's really refined himself so when done with I'm Ella talks about the bores and the ceiling and he's referring to the early philosophers I don't think he's talking about people are drinking beer in a pub and you know and playing around and wasting time and doing inappropriate things no not talking about such people although the intellectualism can lead to that behavior as I've told you the famous story with Aristotle when he was caught an incompetent uncompromising situation and the Aston Aristotle what's with you you're Aristotle and your wisdom intellect well how could you behave like a Bahama and he says when I would you quote me and my behavior I wasn't mr. Aristotle I was mr. Bahama you know so so so say ho say ho intellect it goes so far and then it goes deep and the heart takes over and he's an animal you know but nevertheless we're talking in the phase of say ho they were strong intellectuals and Jewish intellectuals and from intellectuals and scholarly intellectuals and yet governor Mela makes this reference to them because he says the mistake you're making it's a very very subtle one but you should know it borders on he doesn't say those these words heresy because if you say I cut this barfle it's limited to the infinite and to the ruthless and not to the gosh Gnaeus wait a minute then you basically say what's happening here walking on the street raining and snowing and sun and the rivers and the canary and all that you're basically saying it's not Silesia it's not from a shell in nature I then gave that over to the stars in the constellations so basically you're you're stripping and you're you're you're diminishing you're diminishing how could this volatile god that's Harrison so that voters ha'qodesh uses other words but it's the same idea and the words that he used which are so beautiful is looking such a shame yes LeClair's the beauty Bugaboo just like God what do you like to say philosophers you understand that God has power in the infinite consciously Claire's Babu so the same God has power in the finite the intimacy actually Claire's been built about groups the Anglet class big fool and if you're going to argue like you argue that he's only powerful the infinite but not in the finite aftermath essentially Musa you're diminishing his flameless his cthe perfect perfectionist his perfection vase of course lay most of the cooler so yoni he comes he plans on us this idea that God Asaph gosh M is slain Musa that kayla is their perfection of everything and that's why whatever benefit there is in the world Hashem has it Cressida six books about the Scioscia trait length ll that any my love any advantage spark and the advantage that Hashem planted in the world he has as well if you were to argue that he doesn't have that advantage then something's missing in the Godhead and if something's missing it's it's it's Kira that's heresy so if there is some benefit - gosh miss he has the benefit of it of course she doesn't have the Geshem God is is an impotent goddess a spiritual entity you think God has Donuts up there you think he has bagel and lox you think he has mounts and cuckoo and salt you gotta be kidding what yet he's freed heaven I mean of course the shrimp doesn't have that it's like grab your common sense I see this he's been teaching about 50 years to the polo shirt to the the Pollock Hasidim you know the other and and he was talking once about this idea someone asks them raises and he meant it with all sincerity says Reb yo yo where can I find that Selah spaghetti to the point where what street what address you might find that Cee Lo's you ain't finding of sealers you either are not feelers or you're not at Sheila's what you say well notice the goggle either and not in Toronto either and guess what not in Jerusalem either but see this is a consciousness actually the summer huh - this means near Shem our union and if you're really near a sham you're at seedless and if you're not so near and you're this thing you're not it seems maybe a breeder in other words all these ideas that we learn about reminds me of a story in an anecdote vert that they the Hasidim of the sama said in the third row Bible to read would say they would say what's the difference between now and when Messiah comes and they said you know the difference is the difference is aha the difference is in the AHA what does a ha well mashiac will come and we'll walk outside we'll see the basketball players and the football games and the Super Bowl we won't see a good quarterback only and a good running back and a good receiver we're gonna see how Shem through the game in other words and we will see this is up sealless this is a breather so we'll say AHA so that's what I learned in Beit Shemesh with rabbi dolphin and 15 years ago aha now I got it that's avert from the fascism of its empathetic back in Russia but off together here that's from rabbi dice burro what's with you borrow fear you're a seasoned Lubavitch of classic you never heard that story that the difference between what bad what are you saying okay so this got to go into your bloodstream what I'm saying the difference between now and the C F prime is AHA now I got it you know like you scratch your head oh most admires when I was in high school when I was in yeshiva and my read something and yoni was being beaten over there and that even driven crazy and then now he says AHA I know why I got a punch I know they make my life miserable you know that now I got it you know what I'm saying I'm not saying it's always that way unfortunately sometimes it's not that way unfortunately but but the idea what what yeah mushiya exactly so you talk about mushiya and yesterday was the 28th of of seven you know of listen and the Rebbe in 1991 said an amazing thing you can see it online and you take a look at his face pickle Andy listen to his voice he starts off saying all the sudden this is out of the blue since we've been talking about mushiya coming down the ship should come and everything that hasn't happened and then he said those famous words all that I've said is a waste the in Hebrew said level villarrica it's empty to waste he says we need one two three up to ten people to have the mysterious nefesh to bring Messiah and he said the famous words he says this is totally a knife it's up to you to bring the Messiah now the Bible says I see them got all really bent out of shape and they didn't even want to reprint it and because you know it's like the Rebbe said and he represent if up could up to turn alpha Sifl Kent I've done everything I can which basically means you know it's trying soon when we're going back to a shell he didn't say those words remember this was missin 1991 and the rabbi had his first stroke other of the next year 1992 and subsequently two years later on the same day in other he had a second stroke and then a few months later in Thomas he passed away as a stylist so but it began with that famous sefa of Mister 1991 yesterday Huff has Parkinson so you know it's it's it's everyone you know what does it mean and I have people send me emails yesterday how do I understand that know that to me who am i but to me it's what we're learning now it's what we're learning now that ever was saying to us that by say for 42 years for 40 plus years you've been relying on me and and we've been separating and talking and yet he this and and and amazing things it's time to grow up you gotta stand on your own two feet this is how we educate our kids and our grandkids and if we don't we're in trouble you know yeah you're taking someone calls for my daughter [ __ ] if I said she's she's 27 she's 27 talk to her directly yeah you know she's no she's no child this is that you know people have to make their own decisions we have to make our own decisions how we're gonna bring mushiya what are we doing and what learning now is that our caucus particle is lame i said the cutting loss or the particle is the the perfection of everything so any advantage there is in this world to anything that we're doing god has it as well so yeah you're sitting in your in your motion you're sitting and drawing and then writing a Totoro whatever you're doing a megillah' a share that says that's an advantage because you see it as an advantage I have that advantage too and the advantage is that I give you permission and I want you to write your mcgill in your Torah and you do it properly you do it with a gun on you do it with Summa you're enhancing ourselves name someone else's be creative in his marketing of writing Burroughs and other thing right Hashem says I like that kill why because there is a Milo there is a Milo so remember the rule the the the rule is everything is flame musa de cuello the perfection of everything okay what time is it now I don't know the time okay let's let's continue we have another fifteen minutes says page 160 bottom of the page O'Banion who to understand this further here do I it is known she yes based ribosome updates there are two levels Alice the first level is who his counsels a word that's frequently used in Ponyo and casitas his stylus the word is counselors comes from the word shall chalice which means a chain a chain that's you know that's made of loop's in English we call this the progression the progressive descent from an upper level to a lower level the chain of of progression from God to the world how the this is this world created what's the progression his thousands waha Bayes Hillel the second level is hula Milan a specialist there is a level and experience the only of godliness that transcends the progressive way these thousands and explains the historical same in your name birth name for who's immature available these thousands is spiritual matters that are connected uh who's in they hold on to each other who cuted and bound a Luba angle like a chain right it's connected the leaps the links are one connected with the other varieties cut reduce our discuss ISM Ava Baillieu and the way they are bound and attached one to the other who out that if attaboy so a whose image shouldn't be so jealous they are similar it is similar to raise Tobias right Abbas who are whose it of children that are attached and bound partial jealous in a chain deranged Abbas Haas near the head of the second loop of who'sa the south hot Abbas who Yanomami know is attached to the end of the upper loop here it is you have a loop right here you have an upper part and a lower part when I put the second loop in the second loop is a is attached to the bottom of the upper loop that's what he says and it says the thing who baba Ashley she then you have a third loop how do these a fourth loop and of our CDs at a tenth loop add the D boot a boy is bizarre as a fiddle a multitude of leaps one after the other but they're all in the same way the body of sorry the top of this of this next one hangs on and this ends part of the link to chain the socialists to the top of the upper one there's no difference number three to number ten the number one hundred that's the same way it's it's made the Kulin he made that is she Sunday magazine Billa myeloma had all of them at its head and it's races as at its beginning hey ma Jose they're attached Billy Milam ahem - what's above them over safe on and at their end feed him Billa Malcolm ahem so in other words look the bottom of the of the of the loop makes it possible for the next loop to come to be so in other words the body of the top of the one above makes it possible for a second one to come so we have a double play going down we have a top and a bottom in each one and each one serves a purpose what's the purpose there is the races and there is the safe and only because of the safe are you able to create a racist in other words Moshe the top the top of the second loop is only made possible because there is a God the first loop clear I want to make sure it's clear it's not please ask okay good of continue is L engine his counsels and this is what we mean by his stout shoeless shaming your name McPherson of Miam they are ideas of spiritual content top of 161 this is now I'm going to send you Camus a cell take for example intellect shame ah who's a Mook Judean Ava Baillieu they're attached and bound one to the other the Duke moussaka [ __ ] there shall jealous similar to the rings of a of a chain in other words intellect to has a progression we're talking about healthy intellect right in other words logic has motion motion motion brought I need you to concentrate because if you miss a word here you're gonna you're gonna be lost now I'm just telling you that this requires concentration intellect intellect has a progression tool has an order if you jump from the beginning understanding of an idea and you jump quickly into what you know the next phase you're gonna get lost and that's what happens many times and that's why we don't understand and that's why you either have a good teacher or not a great teacher a good teacher knows how to focus on the first part of intellect when introducing an idea to a student and does not talk about the second phase that until the Stevie gets the first phase afterwards the good teacher introduces the next phase and shows how the second phase comes only after the first phase and so he directs your she directs you in the process of understanding properly and this is why I said sometimes we mess up intellectually because we're jumping it's like by listening to what rabbi dolphin is saying now or are you thinking about already I have a question to ask him which is what we used to do in school right in your sleep in school was sitting there the professors talking and rather than just focusing what is he or she saying and not thinking about how I filter the information were thinking about how I filtered information which is a contradiction to truly understanding the information so that ever says over here that the process of estancia's is just like understanding good saiful or the proper way of understanding safe whole they are phases and one comes before the other and one is the top to the bar to the other and only after understanding the first phase do you go to a second phase and then it's natural then it's natural that once it's like when I just just give you an example just the other day two three days ago we were learning and then he'll ask so why LeMond Hashem and not LeMond you'd cave okay and and and and then and then I looked down and I said oh hello it's the next line in the minor what does that mean that means that he was he was listening to the idea he got the it--the and I'm not saying this Ted to put him on a pedestal he's with a pedestal but I'm just saying he's listening to the idea he's listening to the idea he understands the idea so then when he when he understood the idea that it came automatically you know there's an expression in the achiever world that when you're going on the right path you meet if intellectually you're your understanding properly what's in the text you only the text because you're using your brains and if you use as you listen to the idea well and you understand the idea hey the question is why I said that you'd cave okay and then then we look inside hey it's in the moment the next time you understand so the process the process of seho is a very organized process and by the way that's the proof whether yoni you really understand something right or you don't but you know it's like you you you you convince yourself you understand or you want to pretend you understand and this is and this is you know in learning and in thinking over the years it's so clear when I understand something better I follow this script I just told you and when I don't it's because I've rushed intellectually from phrase 1 2 2 3 2 2 3 and already I'm thinking about what's the bottom line you know you're not at the bottom line yet of course the bottom line is to put on the tilling and diving and give sadaqa and and and have all of us as role and help a person that we know that but that's not right now we're discussing an idea here of his fossils we want to understand well what espousals is so they tell me about the doctor now discussing Sudoku you know a lot of people don't have the patience give me the bottom line give me the bottom line no problem but then you're not learning give this thing you're not learning you're you're you're a little man and believe me it's the greatest thing to be a mix with man but off do you understand what I'm saying and that's why learning learning well tell you know and we'll have do other education other thought it requires safe whole you know Arab your car took the by murim of their ever that was set by far Britain in the rapper but it generally did not edit his my mom he didn't have time he would say the discourse at the fibroin and then it was up to us you know the to review it and to write it and but and it was called an unedited minor most of them I'm arm of the river were unedited then in the middle of the 1980s they decided let's try to prepare take a minor prepare it with footnotes and all that and submitted to the Rebbe em and if they're ever refused it and edits it then it becomes an edited minor and it worked and that's why we have the six volumes called safer hama man my mother and me look at of the rebel and it's a big it was a big finish because for for from 1951 to 1919 80s he didn't do that because there and they asked them the older Hassidim because the previously bothered sure rebus wrote their own my mother the only ones who didn't were you know who the outer ever and our ever number one and number seven didn't write their own discourses they said them but they didn't write their whereas from number two three four five six those for those those five rebels who said them and wrote them so the the tradition is that if the tragic himself is revealing godliness visit v the minor cinema de Barras Macrina the belief is that the divine presence speaks through his great Wow and now you have it in writing and it's from him it's it's holy holy right but how to rapper didn't do that and their evident do it but in the middle of the eighties they submitted it so he didn't the mission right it don't make that mistake it was prepared by rebel Khan McEachern hostages so I was told by the two and they were too buffering who I know friends who took the bureau and they brought him into a basement here base making a buffer and Myron Khurana I'd stayed they had a basement and basically he didn't leave for 36 to 54 hours in the middle of the week swirl piled up they told me the state saw this with their own eyes if the phone rang he would say this is before cell phones and he will just be sitting they love this five hours six hours seven hours by this didn't move and then he doesn't paint something went to the bathroom back an ice beam in operation an Albert Einstein a genius of a mind in operation no disruptions any disruption a totally you know bombed out saiful has a very and and we in a way didn t know we don't understand what this means because maybe maybe one of you have that capacity of what's called Rico's her cousin concentration to be able to concentrate where any noise is not just noise making me uncomfortable it's read the foundation you've killed it and that's these my mother were done with him sitting in a room in a basement not leaving for 36 to 54 hours straight and then that he prepared it wrote it and that was submitted to the river and the rebel edited and that and we have that today so I'm sharing that just to tell you how important it is this progression of his counselors in the intellectual element and we will shall continue next week any questions comments guys have a great Shabbos it's Travis Rosco - Rosco this means what there was a huset the most movement of Montreal from London originally and he said Ross craters we say Russia could shake such a that these new month but rose means ahead he would say in Yiddish yoni nya capella the cup cap cap cap elastic the kitty we way of saying cup nayad kept alive most admires a new way of looking at things we're asking a shamrock oldish ear an ear semaphore efforts the acronym for Rosh Chodesh here Alice you'd-you'd Rach I need is Alison's Frannie you do this Asim ratio for alpha-i god you'd cave of gain the most holy name of God is bringing the healing to us I shall bring the healing to us this month that it's going to eliminate completely so that won't have to be worried anymore I'm alone have good health and will serve baby stay with simcha and we'll bring the gorillas have a great day everyone in a great shot
