Simcha #3 - Happy bc of Reverence - source of fear and happiness

we're learning that if there's hashem simcha in the my mourinho cotton volume gimbal edition which is the previous rep is my marim and we're on page 116 the beginning of the next paragraph but to recap briefly that uh in 1938 ampasha's kayasara tackles the idea of simcha he wants to really understand what simche is and why it's so important in avoidance hashem and in a way that's why this mimer isn't just another mimer but it's a fundamental mimer because every aspect of the jewish religion requires simcha so what we're learning is relevant to everything that we do five days a year etc so what does he say well in the beginning he says that the tater and the midrashim and ghazal teach us in various ways with various statements and satan and verses etc that without simcha not only aren't you doing a good job at serving god velvel but you're actually not serving him and more and worse you're actually going against him and therefore the torah says the result will be you will you will end up serving your enemy so this is very enigmatic why why if i'm missing simra you could say you know okay you're not excited about what you're doing yeah right someone put on film this morning and he goes into show he's a drum jewel he puts on film but it's not turned on he's not excited okay but he did the mitzvah you're telling me if i don't have simcha in and when i'm putting on film in the morning it's like i'm worshiping serving my enemy i'm that that's that's and that's what the arizona that's how the result interprets that verse i'm making it very clear not everyone interprets it that way but the arizona does and i and the arizona was a great man so we need to contend with his argument so the freedom wants to understand that and the second question the last question that he left us with at the end of 116 was look at the last three words second line and 116. who are these enemies who are they you will serve your enemy who uh um your local president if you hate them or your local uh uh ray start the prime minister or whatever or who are they save him what are they about so this is what the rebels going to now continue talking about simcha but the the style and and root that he chooses is with his khaba the khabar khasid approach to simcha so you have to put your chabad cap on and kind of put aside temporarily the way mr sharon looks at simcha the way it's all very holy ways and each one is retired 100 percent but each one has its mahalak it's like the 12 gates right so the freedom he's you know obligated he wants to share what he receives from his ancestors beginning with the alter ebba the particular style so we're going to go into um a very kind of different analysis of simcha and at the end maybe we'll see commonality between all the different styles of simcha and that's why people who have who studied various um sections of hasidis like republican etc the more studied and broad and broad-minded you are in learning the material the the better you could understand the nuances of each and and and explain you know the commonality and the differences whereas if you're just stuck to one mahala one derek you don't you have no idea about the other the other mahalak and you're missing an entire uh uh an entire uh torah of of that's that's valid so it's important to know that and then whatever grabs you that's how you decide to live in other words no one can say you have to be a breast liver you have to be a lit [ __ ] you have to build a barbecue you have to be a karl duck nick no it doesn't work that way anyone who does that is in for trouble because at the end of the day you're going to revert back to who you are and then you're going to say who am i you know the famous uh the famous um anecdote of rabbi torskil showed him again it's still in the year of his yards of his uh passing and he has a strong childless to us because um his uh step-son-in-law is the rabbi of the shul next door to kaidish and we learned there and um i knew him so he tells hope it's a famous anecdote i don't think it's his original you know the person the person's confused who am i who am i really so he decides he's going to go into the mig when he goes to the mick from the morning goes to the shower to know who he is he'll put on a red thread a red thread around his toe and when i'll give a look at the toe he'll figure out who he is because he has a cement he has a sign a red thread comes the morning and he's in the midfield guess what the red thread falls off and he asks himself over there the mikveh who am i what's the what's what's the moral if you don't know who you are inside putting on bandages and red threads just last for a while at the end they're going to fall off and you're going to revert back and say who am i so you might as well find out now who you are and that's what we're doing when we learn tito we're essentially working to finding out who we are and what we want to be and at the end when a person chooses a particular mahalak that's important and let me just say one more thing that if a person is the type of person which feels more comfortable gnashing you know noshing from breslin and khabad and the lit fox and and the capitalists and the him okay although habakkuk always had a famous uh anecdote uh for that that wasn't so rosy and holy which was um if a calf nurtures nurses from two cows it becomes sick you gotta know who your cow is and otherwise you become sick but that's you know again not everyone abides by that but you know think about it anyway i've given you a lot to think about if i bragged a little bit we missed the fabregas so we just tapped in now let's go now 116 and begin [Music] and there's another verse that says if this hashem begin to serve god with fear make up your mind there's a joy of fear the measure says if you're serving god with fear why do you need to have sinclair comes along this rabbit a babo your heart should be happy you should feel happy and content little [Music] boy with what should i be happy that i'm serving god in the best possible way there's no better way i'm standing up yaakov and what's the feeling is i it's so wonderful that i'm able to dive and pray to hashem that's the feeling of the heart that you should have that's what it says in the in in the matrix now the previous rabbit takes a go and analyzes it why does he have to analyze it velvet why does he have to analyze it because the message asks a question and the medicine's answer doesn't seem to answer the question how does the method how does it have abe's answer answer the question if it's fear it's not what he needs if it's joy what do you need says you should know that when you stand up to that when you pray you should feel this contentness and happiness that you're serving god in the best possible way well how does that answer the question so let's see what he says very important the element of sierra of awe of fear and the element of symbol come our two separate powers two separate coefficients that come from sources and causes which are opposite each other and explains the mccoy received the source and the cause for fear whom inside it's because you feel distant wow that person is so special and i'm so far from him right therefore i have this fear for him this respect for him this reverence so the cause masha for yera is rehook what is the activity the result coming when a person joini is fearful you go backwards you retreat you run away one is uh you know alarmed and frightened miguel hameda upaka from the great fear and tremble and therefore you run away the homage said and the more the fear the retreat backwards is greater so that is yiddah okay is because of i'm sorry brings rehook brings distance um no i said it correctly firstly the reason why there is fear is because of distance now conversely um the source is specifically because you feel close because you feel close you feel good you feel elated you feel the schmuck you feel basem you become closer because you feel happy this is going to bring me happiness i want to get to know this better or him or her better because i'm going to have more joy says as we see in practical actual life there are [Music] he puts aside his honor right um mccoy and he becomes closer to all or cardiff is cool and he brings everyone closer to him right go to a wedding which is the grade of the greatest time of simcha you can have a person who normally is you know like aloof and removed and won't talk to the average person or look down at them and there's a different feeling in that person during the simcha why because simcha has overtaken his tough and rough character that's a fact it's a fact that you know just try it out i'm sure you have and you've seen people you say should i go to the symphony you're surprised wow he was so warm tonight why avi why because he's being driven by simcha and when you're dreaming by simcha you are macariff everyone and anyone from the greatest to the lowest the whole masters america he said and the more happy you are you know [Music] the more there will be the more that there will be kirov closing in and the reason for this is because the overall idea of simcha vomits other kind it comes because of closeness so because you feel close to hashem kirov you think about hashem you meditate reflect and say wow look who am i i'm a nobody and hashem cares about me i love him wow hashem has has extended himself so the feeling of unison of kiruf from hashem to us makes us want to have more of him in a happy way now there ever uses this to explain the message and this is the way we explain the question ima desatius explaining the matrix not in the literal way the rappers are saying like this if davening if prayer if you're going to argue that prayer if those hashem be here needs to be beginner that comes because of distance the problem is that's the question of the madrish babe uh what's the answer comes along with a baby and he says is fearful to the heart meaning the heart is scared kind of scared i use that in a loose way not scared fearful the very heart that fears god that very heart needs to be in a mode of happiness that he has a feeling of fear for god so in other words you do need an element of fear when you dive into hashem however that itself is the impetus to feel basement how is that because wow i have attained or felt some reverence to hashem when i stand and dive into hashem so that thought says to you if that's the case you're the luckiest person which is you see look at this line that's what i just told you this is from this itself that you're serving a god but how are you serving god yaakov if this hashem this heaven this is very important this is the because it's a fundamental question here serve god with same cluster of god with era make up your mind the answer is it's one of the same how is it one of the same they come from two different causes that's right serve god with gira means realize you're standing before hashem hashem is awesome and that itself when you realize that you're standing hashem with who's awesome and you feel that you become happy that you're in that mode that you feel god's awe it's a very dolphin yes so you talking about the type of fears oh i'm not the fear of punishment right no not that punishment no we have are yes there's there's levels so you can call uras aroma most generally that would be a correct term but just for the record there's years so but basically i i like the english word reverence reverence yes so fit it into any of though but yes yaakov yirasarenmus would be the classical uh word used in in most systems of of jewish study that talk about this but avraham we're not talking about punishment no mind you i don't want to make small change out of punishment because sometimes that's also important because unfortunately sometimes we're so far missed we're so confused that unless unless you know hey you're going to go through the red light you're getting a ticket you have to pay 100 200 bucks and you'll have points on your license and you're going to have to stand before the judge and waste a whole day you know you know or if you eat these foods this is what happens i i i think we can all relate to that there is a time and place for ornish right there is a time and place for highness for fear of punishment i mean anyone that thinks that the holy balshemptev who started the hasidic movement throughout ernest from the dictionary is a fool god forbid it's a torah concept the question is the application and the method towards understanding that but in this case i would say that that's correct we're not talking about english we're talking about moreno most reference but but i want to make sure does everyone understand what he says here because if you don't get it here you can't go further moisture do you follow how he answers the contradiction yeah could you could could you say it in your own words so i can hear see if you understand it sorry i'll give you time to think about it but you have to be able to you know say things in your own words then then you know you know forget about me you know that if you understand it how do you reconcile the two hazards how does the rebel reconcile it here jacob do you want to give a shot at explaining it please i need him a little more time where did you go okay anyone belleville any any volunteer you're innocent oh avi i see avi wants to say go ahead abby that it's not a contradiction the year and the honor the different phases of the same thing here it comes from a feeling of distance i have a feeling of closeness and there that is not correct that's not what he's saying i'll tell you why because the the contradiction is at the time at the same time of filo the the major is about when you die at that same time either you should it says it's not later than before that's not correct what okay go ahead please please go ahead please realize the greatest victim awesome is it fills all the worlds at the same time he takes time out to to to think about you and you say wow seems so great and he's gonna let me dive into him i'm happy i'm happy about that because i'm and you're happy about serving an awesome god yeah certainly that makes me very happy yeah but in other words what is the meditative thought that god is awesome and this awesome god allows me to serve him and worship him and dive into him that makes me happy but the content like you said the content is god is so uh awesome right and this awesome god that really shouldn't care and look at me and everything else and look at the world he says no i want to hear from you and i love you guys and pray so that feeling at the same time avi not later at that very same time is a feeling of elation of simcha the content of the thought is year revel you follow the the the content the token of the thought is year but that triggers the feeling of simcha that i'm able to have a relationship with this awesome god that the kitzer is the explanation let's continue by your day you don't have to scream yesterday you don't have to do that but you say the words with animation with your lies yes is that why is that why um krishma we're supposed to say with a trump when we say the krishna we're supposed to say with a trump i don't know if that's that's what we learned behind berlin uh it's not not just not many khabar it's not and i think you're mistaken because kai and berlin does not say maybe people happen to say it together because you know with trump no no you're mixing up two things the only time you're supposed to say something and feel it with trump is what's going on the thirteen hashem hashem taylor if you're saying that by yourself not with ten people the halacha says you could say it with the same with trump but um otherwise i don't know yaakov are you familiar with uh anyone saying the shamaw trump sure i think it's uh it's praiseworthy who says it with trump i heard it many times right [Applause] in the shows that you dive in they say it with trump sure in america and in israel i mean maybe it's more of an israelite and and and one second this is brought down in hello this is brought down in hello yeah okay i'd like to i have to look it up okay remind me okay you know if we forget thank you so johnny i i i stand corrected but anyway uh so what's your question um is this the rea the words of ram of davening with simcha in other words you know you're going to a show many times and it sounds like a cemetery everyone's diving to themselves or they're mumbling the words but when people are saying the words and i see it i see it sometimes you know when i'm cognizant of this i say a little the words a little more loud and animated and all of a sudden the whole the dominion i hear people starting to dive in louder and and it feels more together and it feels vibrant so that's what the rap is saying when you when when it when you feel a happiness especially if you know the meaning of the words fortunate is the one who sits in the tents of hashem and the day before you were on route one and there was a breakdown of a car and you waited for four hours in traffic where you got stuck out of your own head of your success like i did in 1980 in the tunnel in the brooklyn battery tunnel and we stopped traffic because we didn't have a watch and the radio didn't work and uh the four bachelor went to help put up the the the circus in new jersey uh snarl traffic the police came they thought without our mind and we said it's our holiday and we don't know the time so we ain't driving they said wow and they drove the car out they parked it and we walked to crown heights in a rainstorm luckily because otherwise i don't know if i'd be around today it wasn't a great neighborhood at the time so the point is the point is that you have to say the words basem and and and think and realizing lucky and my that i can sit in a shoe and say the words and i'm healthy enough to come down and to walk and to breathe and to talk and you think about this every moment you should be the happiest person he name is [Music] now he goes and he says another thing okay now pay attention until now we're talking about simcha he says you're innocent that when you have this elation as a brahman described it briefly earlier it causes pleasure tainouk you know you have pleasure when you put your feet into a hot mikvah or when you have a good swim in the beach in the ocean right you have pleasure from saying the words of davenink it says that ever when you have that pleasure it causes taino sheila it causes pleasure above in heaven and now he starts talking about pleasure in heaven there is a statement by the sages listen to this there isn't a blade of grass below on earth that does not have a source a muzzle above hamake boy that hits it meaning it it says to it for aim it get all grow hey blade of grass get blue bigger come on grow grow grow the whole lots more their growth and the taste of the fruit coming from the trees comes from what we call moshe their masala their spiritual charm muscle and for example [Music] the sweetness and the sourness of an apple hagashimi the physical apple top of 117. it's scented smell and it's a color it's appearance is it a a green red or other color apple hine who gushed me that's physical that's felt to the cheek when you tasted the to the to the mouth legabe if you compare that actual taste to the spiritual muscle there's a big distance between the two because nevertheless [Music] it says over there in the meditation and the rambam explains you should know where is that coming from and if there was no sweetness somehow well i'm going to explain soon in the spiritual mazel la hoya music you couldn't have sweetness in an apple and so too if it's a sour apple there must be some khamitsus in the spiritual model where does sweetness physical sweetness and and and sour sourness come in in an apple it comes from the lowest level of the spiritual source which of the muscle the the inner vitality the inner spiritual vitality that's in the apple who may so it comes from the for making the spiritual muscle as closest to physicality and right in other words okay that's where a person's blood which is the life force which is spiritual it's physical blood you could measure blood you could take blood but there is what we call in in in jewish uh writing reviews dom is the minimal amount of blood you need to for survival so it's brought in the holy spirit this is this most spiritual aspect of the physical body which becomes a vessel for the the the most physical aspect of the soul because if and if not they can't come together because they're each one is completely spiritual one's completely physical so how did the soul and the body mesh and come together the answer is there's an element of the other in each of them the inner vitality and spirituality within the apple who it comes from the uh the materialization if there is such a word um of the years in the muscle so the muscle on its own yoni in its very core is spiritual however it has an element which allows itself and says i am willing and ready to give something outside of my pure spirituality for the benefit of goshmius and gosmia says i.e the blood says right the blood was created by god in a way that it that although it's physical it has an element a sensitivity to an aspect of spirituality so the sensitivity in each of the two makes it possible for them to combine and so that one second unison so that ever says so too just as it's it's true for the soul and the body so too it's true in the apple we'll talk maybe more about it tomorrow or later in the week but i want to hear what janison has to say go ahead unison your palace thank you thank you i was looking for the word that didn't come to me thank you [Music] that is the heat of the body that the soul the low part of the summer is heat is able to join in the flood with the heat of the blood every human being has the same temperature no matter who they are because the summer is the same in the summer and the summer comes down as a contemporary [Music] you're saying it's the uh the the night the heat the average temperature of a person that's what you're saying yes yes thank you thank you for every single human being no man right why because that is the way that the shuttle the the most musical meet the part of the game right right but and and and how is it that and not how and and what how is that possible made that that heat that you're describing should kind of rot raise itself from the gas mias of the body and be a vessel for the rookhnius yeah so so too we're talking about the apple because this this cabinet is a is a very interesting statement in the measurement of marina a blade of grass grows here or a fruit grows and our fruit has sweet it's sour whatever where does it come from it comes from the masala now wait a minute but the masala is luchni it doesn't have taste it doesn't have smell so what what what but if that's what it says what's the shot there is an aspect of spirituality in the muslim i'm sorry there's an aspect of physicality in the spiritual muscle there's an aspect what is that aspect that it already is the it allows it is the origin it it's the origin of taste and smell although it's still in its and bro and bronic state of but what is what is in its embryonic state taste and smell so we take that sensitivity excuse me together with the sensitivity of the physical apple and we put them together and us and there and and and then we have a tasty apple we'll see what the rabbit tomorrow and tram will see what the rabbit wants with this whole mushroom we're middle of it so we'll stop now and mr sham tomorrow we will continue i want you to think about this if you have questions tomorrow in the morning you'll ask me okay anything anyone wants to say any right now zai gezunt have a great day everybody and uh remember yadav and minho especially chakras say those words basimka how lucky we are to be able to dive in zygozoon bye bye thank you
