Preparation is Everything

good day we're on page 13 in the mimer on marliby this is ice dalit i'd like to see if we can finish this ice this week so we can start a mimer for rosh hashanah next week so until until i'm sorry you said something wrong it says the name the the name of the mimer begins with right on page eight the mimer what you read before leo is now that's just a tight a date what's the actual verse that the mimer do you have that avi or not now his power went out something is not right in your area anyway let's continue ice balance my my power just went off for a second came back on so there's something obviously going on who else had lost power uh yoni yoni was on before you guys came on and he disappeared and he wrote to me they lost power now i see avi and it says it says now on my phone it says backup so whatever it is but but it's not it's not it's not on my end it's not on my end okay let's learn and and we'll just we'll just see how we go yeah the ice ballet so we learned we hope to come to a belief so though we learned before about the the virtue the the difference between the usage of seijo only intellect and the usage of the middles and the seiko within the middles and we elaborated on it and uh a listener or someone who who follows the shiorim on facebook or youtube wrote to me how to reconcile this with something that he's been learning in a cipher called orally israel um he heard me emphasize with an ebycesia to repetitive right repetitive meditation we learned that and the rebbe said it should be so i'll answer his question online now he says that uh what's the difference between that and what this uh the aureus role i think arya swallows for an episode valetnik i believe so i believe that there he's talking about the deborah repetition the deeper what the rabbit the fried crab is talking about is repetition but so it's a very if that's the k if if that's if if i'm my understanding of what the early israel writes it's a it's a major difference it's not just saying words it's thought thinking repetition repetitive thinking okay that's very different than repetitive saying words let's continue ice dalit zelda and this is the what's written of your title you should know today and you should make your heart be attentive there is a commandment hashem is commanding us he's not telling us moshe you may be attentive this is sifu it's a command you shall make your heart be attentive seemingly this type of command is not understood lo [Music] why do we need the heart to be attentive um why is it not adequate hayadea bilvad the knowledge itself right let's look at the let's look at the possible there's two cl there's two segments to the possible one via dai to hyun you shall know today which means no your dear knowledge and number two it says you should make your heart be attentive so the rebels question and and and so the rebels says that the second clause was is not if you'd like to make your heart attentive do so and if not don't do so but rather it's succeed it's a command you shall make your heart attentive so his question is why is that necessary if i have the knowledge of hashem the odaito hayoim that should be adequate that's his that's his question and he answers one second he's still in the middle of his question he strengthens this question based on what we've been learning in the mimer since the mechanism of of seiko amidos of intellect and emotions is one that's ilava olu cause an effect so as soon as you have a cause that's proper you have an effect so as soon as i have your dm moshe i have the knowledge that knowledge is going to bring a feeling his question now he gives the answer ella begins his answer hello the reason is shall middle shepherd live this proves to us on the contrary that the actual midosioni in the heart england boys but their mailer it's not like luxian and chicken soup where when you pick up the spoon to eat the chicken soup you get the luxury with it it don't work that way here you have to create the luxury meaning here to have a feeling in the heart it doesn't come by osmosis and and everyone we all know we can understand something we do understand things and the the gap between understanding and feeling is night and day night and day plenty of people are deep thinkers and they're such cold fishes and people and they're they're people who are shallow thinkers and their heart is warm as a as a radiator during the winter okay keem that's why avi the torah says the posix says make your heart be attentive you have to engage in an activity called and that takes work as we began discussing yesterday at the end of this year that the light the energy of the intellectual ignite should illuminate the middles the emotions leo in other words to bring segal from the place of sacral for it to impact the leadership that live and not just to impact them to inspire them to illuminate them that's a lot of work that's what we mean hillel this is the answer to what i asked you at the end of this year this is what the rebbe means and why it takes specifically the hashtag it's an activity it doesn't come by osmosis it doesn't come by automatic yes so so so yesterday if you remember we spoke about his spy locally in addition we spent a lot of time on the uh the the emotion the emotions within the intellect or the intellectual emotionalism right that is or is the idea and i gave the example which is brought to hasidis focusing on hashem from david miller from the hilum i think i in dallas kirba said kim lito if you have elokim the closeness of god and finally lee tov the closest of god is good for me it's three separate ideas when you understand eloquem hashem what fought one second hillary what follows is kirwa kim or riku close or distant but that's within the mind so that is an expected result but the third stage of lito flea means i want it it's not just an idea you understand so in other words plenty of people get excited up in their cup up here in their brain they get excited but when it but but but that excitement does not translate itself to an actual emotion in the heart for that you have to have a voiceover yes hello i just wanted to clarify that you were saying that they were sort of stages related to each other and i think they are yes right but but but it's not automatic it's not that if you have ello kim you're going to have kier vasilo kim and if you have kevin cello kim you're going to have lee right no the first two of if you really understand the looking you're going to have an intellectual cure that comes as a result or other times a distant an awesomeness i i'm frightened by by god i want to you know be respectful and stay away right but but but to the point where you feel it in your heart that's a whole different a whole different category and experience and that's what this is a very important point because this this this is real in our lives people you know you sometimes listen and listen and listen and you say but why isn't there a media in the heart i understand that i i see but it because there's missing the hashes the focus and concentration i.e the attentiveness of the heart so so what does it mean to make your heart attentive to bang to bang harder when you say no to cry more when you say when you recognize what you've done wrong no to hug someone more no those are all nice by-products of the hashi voice but is a focus in concentration kind of the heart intellectualizes how does that sound the heart or better said the heart experiences the hard experiences then when the heart experiences it's it's sweet it really is sweet and delicious and the line let me say this too the linavi between a real heartfelt media and a false heartfelt media is very thin the division is very very um refined we could convince ourselves and fool ourselves thinking we have a real leadership heart in our heart and then as soon as something doesn't go our way in that in that realm where where's the media what happened i thought you you loved i thought you fear i thought you have mercy why does it go out the window when there's a blockage that comes there that shows that it's not yet a medivh in the most in the best way in the purest way it's still not you in the heart yes motion can i ask you to give forgive the question can i ask you to give sort of like a practical example i i can't right now i have to think about it let me think about it over over the day and tomorrow with hashem's help i'll see if i can come up with an example is that a fair answer okay i don't know if this is an uh an example for a middle shepherd lev it's more i'm going to tell you now and i've told you this but i'll repeat it is an example for myself for action you see what you only asked last week you know and i and i as i explained there's a difference between myself action and a mediev leads to a mice so maybe the realm of action is the um the proof whether it's an actual heartfelt media or an intellectual media marin county 1986 87 88. my father-in-law comes from australia with his wife to be there for a few days can someone take off mute your thing please and hello could you mute yourself please so um it's heir of your arab circus we all finished davening chakras and everyone's going home and my father happens to speak to one of the balabata when he mentions to him he didn't put up a sukkah yet and tonight suckers okay we all heard it kind of but you know everyone went their way i offered my father a ride home and he said no i'll i'll just walk home i'll get home i want to still be here he came home a few hours later two three hours later and we asked him where he was we were surprised he says i helped put up the sukkah to a person who didn't have a sukkah who was this person he overheard he overheard that he didn't have a sukkah so he went and put up a sukkah for him so that's you know that's a a a a a bottom line result between knowing right we all know it suckers tonight yes everyone sure who heard it knew it took us tonight did we understand that there's someone in shul that doesn't have a sukkot yet yes so why didn't we offer to help him build our sukkah because we didn't have a medivh we didn't have a feeling in the heart that this is of of real obvious role we had a lip service officer's role we have a checkbook ava but to go and strain your body if you're able to and you don't get sick and you can carry and lift and all that and put aside your spiritual needs that's a meet the shepherd lev that's a meat of avas israel in the heart not just in the cup so maybe that's an example moishe for the difference of a middle that's within the head the intellect and a media that's in the actual heart and i meet the sheba lev one second amida sheba lev once you have it it schleps you it pulls you kind of you're out of control because the emotion has become part of you that without the emotion it's like you're missing you're missing food sleep air you're missing air we all know you've heard you know and i could tell you because i experienced it firsthand with the cove it was hard to breathe at times that's very real that's not head it's it's physical so could you imagine someone who's not able to do avas israel is mis feels like he's missing air and that's exactly what avraham avinu felt on the third day after he was circumcised why would avraham avinu on the third day after he circumcised when he's in most pain stand outside his tent to look for passive buyers to invite them in to have a meal and mind you who were the people walking there it wasn't bibi netanyahu or the laboratory it was low-life arabs right and whatever okay not low life arab sorry take that back and and he says come in i want you come in here come here come here what why the answer is avrom had more pain moisture from not doing agnosis or to to a person not to a jew to a person than he had from the physical wound on his body now do you understand what a medieval is and when you think about this and you say you know do i do it my wife told me you know that we have a um a place in borough park it's actually all over brooklyn and new york whatever called mazbia like a food a food kitchen you know and it's become i i know the owner you know you know he's a go-getter and a hustler and he's really he created a probably a multi-million dollar uh project so because the corona has been closed so there's a a rabbi here rabbi balcony who's married to a rabashkin who has opened up his table friday night in shabbos to everyone anyone that wants a borough park or not only for whoever wants to come from a meal come please so he's become there must be a kitchen his wife this past week was with her mother who was canadian out of 90 mrs rabach in the catskills so his daughter who's ashleekhus in bucks county pennsylvania married to rabbi weinstein who was a guest speaker at the kindest look a year or two ago came specially with all of her kids to be for shabbos to help her father make shabbas to feed the people do you understand what's going on over here do you understand what means when you look at that you say to yourself i'm doing nothing okay or the other example rabbi gruman rabbi gruman of los angeles he was the rabbi for a while of the young israel on melrose avenue and rabbi gruman i was told i didn't know this at the time any and all people who were a little different and people didn't really appreciate them at their shabbos table were found at rabbit grumman's table they had a place to eat so when you talk about a media ship alev you know it's it's a whole different realm and and and and listen each one of us you know can have that leadership beloved in another area not saying it has to be only him or only now a person at the same time needs to recognize their weakness and shortcoming and and you know and if you're not this may if you're not made of material to handle 20 30 people at your table who are going to drive you nuts and and etc and you're going to get nervous and you're going to get angry and that that's not your mitzvah because you can't do it it's you know try try another lifetime next time around you maybe have another summer and you'll be more successful but find another area yes yoni you wanted to say something an example that you used about your share right yes you know everybody knew everybody knew that this guy needed to have a put up and nobody you know did anything about it and say that it's kind of like uh you know the slogan as they say putting your money where your mouth is you know a lot of people they'll say you know they'll say okay i want to buy you know ten thousand dollars right and they want to hear you know their name being called up but when it's time to actually you know take out the checkbook and write it out it's not so simple it's not so easy in a case like this is your father-in-law you know he could have gone home like everybody else but he put his money where his mouth is and he instituted what was in his heart yes and what i'm adding the the the the detail the nuance is that his success if another yi that he knows about doesn't have a suku he can't he can't he won't he wouldn't be able to sit at a sukkah knowing that there's another year that he could have helped to put up a sukkah and because he did not participate and make it happen you understand so that's why i gave you the example of avraham avinu you know it was painful far from don't think standing out there in the heat you guys are experiencing now the heat that i've rum experienced okay 100 degrees outside and he's standing outside and there's no fan and there's definitely no air conditioning and he has no tent he's standing over there right because he wants to see well you know so i i i just gave this all i want to continue now because moshe asked me as an example i hope most of some of this was helpful to you let's continue yeah he says the last line on page [Music] preparing your soul for the arousal the awakening of the heart in the two aspects next page fourteen highest bond in this number one hillel lengthy lengthening the time for meditation and number two again the meditation is the intellectual idea of thought and then making your heart the attentive of but when there is no preparation of the soul to arouse the heart yoholya should destroy this pilot it could be avi you're innocent that it remains in the mind right kirvas elokim i want to be close to god no closeness to god is good sorry not i want to be closest to god is good it's delicious but it's not for me it's for you you follow it's for you it's a spy loss motion it's a spy loss it's hispalute it's emotionalism but where is it in the cup up here it never reaches the heart let's continue hello rob how are we doing my maesha welcome everyone let's say at big yoshikaya for tomosha that he's with us and he should only have simchris and good health and mashiach now let's continue second line paper second line motion page 14. even after one meditates in detail and an expansion and delves deeply into the topic mccoy the light might the light the energy the inspiration the intellectual inspiration will not illuminate the heart the pneumous in an inner way in a deep way came and so too the the emotionalism that there is in the brain is only in the brain make the preparation the soul preparation of a meditation and be concentration of the heart he needs now he's getting to some practical stuff when is the time for this you guys there ever says the time for this is during davening he quotes from tanya in other places that this is the right time it's a this ghoul of time you know everyone's into segulas today well the rebbe brings what it says in the holy swarm that the time that's right to succeed in his bonanus voice is during davening that's it it's not when you're home with your family it's when you dive in if you're diving at home it's during the darvani time davening is the time he says it's mizugo you see the language to have success while you're daving to that that your heart be aroused who are you today you know this is not gonna let you get off the hook you gotta do something else before that you're innocent what do you have to do there requires to be a frustration before governing you have to make a husband you know what we're talking about guys we're talking about krishna amita the night before remember the famous saying who do the son of thamus says right gibra khari be as strong as a lion to serve your master in the morning get up with a roar i see them say you can only get up with a roar like a lion if you go to sleep like a lion if you go to sleep like a horse a slumbering horse you're gonna get up like a slumbering horse you ain't getting up like a lion it ain't gonna happen i don't care how many pills you take and how many drinks you take you are not getting up like a lion but mela the night before is actually crucial for the way we wake up in the morning and i just want to for a moment before i take your point hillel you know at night we're tired we all know that and we tend to fall asleep be it on the couch or on your bed you know sooner or later the eyes close when i was in yeshiva this was also an issue that i had and i wanted to say shma and it was sometimes difficult because i was asleep so i asked the maship if i could say my krishna right after my roof and he told me yes because i dive in my office i was awake so right after my riff i would sit down i would say shema and i share that with you if you're finding that you aren't able to a literally say this not every night once a week once a month but a real husband then do it after my riff even if you're going to you know or still check the news or talk to the wife and talk to the kids and and be another two hours until you actually get into bed you've said krishna again the best way is to say the krishna and make the husband before you actually go into bed but if you know that you'll never get there then do it at a time when you could get there and what is this has been what is a husband a husband is like we say in good old-fashioned business what did i what did i spend today did i make a profit how much of a profit where did the profit come from where did the loss come from it's uncomfortable looking at a loss but you have to if you're a good businessman so you don't repeat the mistake again that's the way you're supposed to make a hajj bananefish hilo what do you want to say no it was just that it was a joke the moment has passed okay i'm sorry that i broke the uh the the train of thought okay hila i'm sure you will come up with another joke i'm convinced i know you okay it's good to have people out there okay let's continue so so avi so the rapper says you need to have the mourinho listen to this one is asking yourself what is the purpose why hashem put me on earth that is part of a husband why did hashem put me here moshe that's one general thought to be included in the krishna shalhamita number two vegemite more specifically in detail in your let me look at my thinking let me look at my feelings let look at my behavior that's already going into details i realize they're immersed they're sunk and immersed only in worldly matters it's like yesterday i said to myself i said i gotta put my phone away i'm addicted to this silly phone and i'm holding it and looking at it the whole time put it away break the pattern and then there is just thinking about all of life's issues important ones but you are shakua you are shakua listen to this language you are shakua and tavua which means you're immersed and sunk you know when someone sinks and the water gets up to the neck boy do you get nervous and scared and you start calling sos help in your neolibe worldly manners is schlepping you and making you sink and the worldly matters all of the worldly matters is drowning you the whole cake does not show you all of your soul powers be they the encompassing of pleasure and willpower you dedicate them all but rocklin you're on the island for worldly matters so this the rebbe says is a second thought when you make a hedgehog in other words he's not saying it he's saying it shouldn't be this way but he's saying that when you make a judgment many times this is the reality and you need to make that judgment yes um the uh is the implication of what he's saying here is that the cocos are like inequalities what how they express them i didn't hear they're what i don't hear that word what word they are inner yeah no because no oil and watson okay right so uh so so explain the relationship between coco sun nephesh and lafuje on that bed oh boy [Music] no no no no no no not that i ca i can't explain it just it's not the place it's not here but i'll tell you briefly this is tanya chapter three and four what you're asking basically is who you are you know your your intellect and your middles and and your heart right that's what defines you the the the that's why that's why i said so so why is he emphasizing the cocos no he's saying everything he's saying everything are even more transcendental yeah so you had curses hillary clinton fish consists of him which are pleasure and will and will and will and caucus premium that's what he says those are all those are all part of clickers and fish then you have levushyan efforts the instruments the tools how you implement right let's continue so i want you to follow so this was a second medic thought meditation a second a second idea for what you need to do when you make a sajban a nephesh here comes point number three the third thing to think about is i'm so sick i don't even feel how bad the situation is you know it's i i don't even feel how bad it is and i'm so immersed that i don't even realize how immersed i am in in worldly matters that's how i'm what's the word that not though um i'm um like you don't feel the pain um surely you're not anxious and you're not worried about it then you know and you don't care you don't care and yes [Music] the issue that he's so involved in worldly matters don't doesn't touch him means touch the bahamas in addition to the inner aspects and the lacking of you not recognizing why you were sent here who and both what the world is missing you were sent there for a mission and a purpose meaning that the world needs to benefit from you in a certain way and by you not doing it not only are you missing out on your purpose but the world at large is missing out at its purpose because they're waiting for you to bring something to the world the fact that he's so immersed and sunk in worldly matters they know in a gallery and it doesn't bother him he named me should someone who is a badass who has intelligence sort of losses by saying his godela he has to make on a great arousal village and break the heart the hardness the harshness of his heart the asmr smile mayor bernaffie and his soul should be frustrated i'll close my mother in my suffering and the situation i don't like it i don't want to be here it's not good it's not a good place to be in and i have to do something to get out of this rut that's what we're talking about here and this is all part of the hezbollah nephesh that you're supposed to make krishna so that you can get up like a lion not like a horse and through this meriditos this frustration you actually plow the ground level we're talking about the the the heart being the ground the earth the now and this prepares your soul by voiding during the service of the heart but feel it during darkening lessons besides that you will feel an inspiration and your heart will be moved to an actual emotion and the rapper says the jose will gone and we're going to stop here because now he's going to go to haiti which that's why i wanted to learn this mimer during this month all of what i said now the rebel says applies to the entire year so you can imagine what he's going to say about ello but we'll leave it for tomorrow my friends my friends we have our work cut out for us when you learn to see this and you and you take it a little seriously you realize we have a lot to do we have a lot a lot to do and it you know like they used to say in camp in the barbecue camp got camp gangnam in my days we had learning classes and at the end they would say make an announcement on the pa system learning never ends learning never ends hasidis never ends avoid the never ends if anyone tells you they are complete and they've done it already and it's already why do i have to do it again boy are they making a big mistake no retirement there's no retirement there's no retiring it's only the beginning and if you go with that attitude you'll be happy you'll be fresh and you'll be gesunder [Music] bye
