or on page llama dalit
which is the opposite side of 66 we're
middle of chapter 27 and Tanya
and we're at the words like about 15
lines at the top full of rain in middle
of the set line algipe Adam it follows a
period
that's where we're at and we'll get
right to it Dr Pepper is encouraging us
not to be discouraged
by thoughts
bad thoughts that come to us and I don't
mean bad thoughts like
you know I want to kill I want to kill
someone
we're talking about inappropriate
thoughts sexual thoughts Etc
those type of thoughts that's the that's
the context of
Olaf
I can't hear you what
well
uh if you can mute yourself appreciate
it follows
a person
shouldn't be down that's an expression
man should not man's heart should not
fall upon him but what it means is don't
feel bad
what shouldn't you feel bad about
and your heart shouldn't feel
very bad so you notice the word
a little bad you can feel but not very
bad
if gum in here came koyama if your
entire life you'll be engaged in this
war or pushing aside the the
inappropriate thoughts the Muhammad Zoo
and here are the the the bomb words of
the altered perhaps
just perhaps shiny maybe you were
created to fight
you know we think that we're this and
that maybe we're boxers our job is to
eat boxers in a rink
and make sure the guy doesn't smash Us
in the face and knock us down
we have to fight with this yet set of
hours with this
perhaps maybe why God created you and
brought you to Earth
upon Earth
is not because you are
uh you know God's gift to humanity but
Hashem wants to see you fight
the word devil is created look at the
words emphasize those words underline
those words
and this is your job
to constantly
subjugate the negative extraneous forces
called the citric Atomic constantly
what does it saying
I love this this Rashi
yaakov wanted to sit peacefully
Joseph
the wrath of Joseph of Joseph sprang
upon him
what does that mean
you Jew you want to sit peaceful God
says no way Jose
I didn't put you on Earth to sit and
play golf and bake in the sun on the
beach of California and Florida
I put you here
to deal with
the anger
the problems of yasuf
politics
and especially reading last night and I
helped myself back from forwarding it to
all of you the of the terrible Shonda
how they uh destroyed and wanted to beat
up and hurt the mayor of bechamish and
they they burnt their car and by the
flat tires
Barbarian acts right your neighbors five
minutes when you are
that's also that's also Joseph
if I hear about it here in Brooklyn and
Borough part that means it's relevant to
me otherwise I wouldn't hear about it or
you say well don't go on the internet
and look at the the website you will
know about it so I didn't have a so God
will have another reason to spank me
I'll have another reason to do I hate
than you give her but the point is it
came to my ear came to my attention and
I share with you now
that's the anger of Joseph we're
learning Tanya we're trying to climb the
ladder in the Montebello to have a sort
of tables
etc etc
and all of a sudden we hear the stuss
coming right out of your neighbors
that's that's the Avada that's their
father not the effect there is I'm gonna
lock myself up in a mountain or or may
assure him and and not have and not know
what's going on and and and all of that
that's not enough either that you
haven't done eating before you came down
and it made to show me after you go back
up you'll have plenty of time to sleep I
told you Kevin when I come there to slow
the people ask me so did you rest I said
no and I'm happy about it I don't want
to rest there this road resting like a
rest here United States and everything
slow I want to get every moment that to
be awake as much as possible
you know so the idea is we're here to
fight let's continue
now down today answers of Rome a
question that he asked in chapter one
remember he quoted job e of or Eve says
about God
in other words you didn't give a person
you didn't take away a person's free
will to be righteous and be Wicked but
yet the verse says you created the
righteous
you created the wicked implying that
whether we're going to be good or bad is
predestined that was the question
of the earth now to them and now in
chapter 27 answers
Zelma but also to show you and that's
why Eve says
God from your perspective you can create
a category called The Wicked Felicia
that's that does not mean that God wants
us to be actual Wicked
myself God wants us to be beaten in
here you see clearly Delta represent his
philosophy God wants us to be beaten him
but by the name fall under the category
from God's perspective I'm going to show
you
so here I want to make a point Hillel
that's important because I don't know if
it was clear when you guys have been
learning Tanya on your own
we talk about Sadiq Russian
three types right
how many categories did Hashem create
the answer is two
from God's perspective you're either you
either at a point in your life where
you're at Sadiq I'm sorry that the room
for hashem's perspective he can see he
could created certain Souls that are
Sadiq like souls and you cannot be such
a Sadiq in chapter 14 we learned you can
be spiritually impregnated and have a
temporary exotic-like feeling but but by
Nature inherently you're not exotic Soul
you're a regular soul and the other soul
is guess what Maisha A Rush of Soul why
is that Russia
because Russia means they act you act
upon the the bed abandon me has the urge
over Russia and controls the urge
but by and large
debating me is closer to a Russia than
to assadic people make this mistake
always they ask you on the Steep Street
moisture abandon the according to the
top balatanya is closer to the Russia or
to the subject you would the first
answer that you would think is
because he controls his thoughts his
speech his action his behavior
so it's more like a Sadiq now that every
here says just the opposite wrong he's
closer to a Russia because his essence
has the urge
and if you have the urge
from when God created your soul you are
a Russia in the category of Russia but
God wants you to refine yourself and not
commit the sin I.E be the bathing
but there is no category covenanty
there's either
and that's why Eve says he'll it doesn't
say in in Eve but us obeying them why
doesn't it say but also abandon them in
in Eve because there is no category from
God's perspective as being a knee it's
either you're you have exotic Soul or
you have a rush of soul
now God says even if you have a Russian
Soul which most of us form to the
category
but the objective is to be benini
so the the the the the pain in the as
outstanding it's a phenomenal thought as
outstanding as abandoned he is could you
imagine someone who is
complete Showman
not just show me the gear show them
myself
and as soon as the inappropriate thought
or something bad comes he says out of
here
speak closes his mouth we're going to
learn a little later
and doesn't speak the Lord and the
negativity
and in action surely doesn't hurt
someone else so we think he's exotic no
he's addict you have an urge and guess
what your urge is fiery
if you don't stand on guards every
moment your urge is going to get a hold
of you so let's go back into the Tanya
so that's what he says here
that's a question yes yes
sir I don't remember which class it was
it which safer but I remember I think it
was what we learned a couple of years
ago and it said that we should strive to
be a better name that's that that I I
think it was the creator was talking
about it that we should be that's what
we should try we shouldn't even strive
to be in Sonic We should strive to be
amazing yeah I know it's the Tanya it's
a Tanya it's not the difference Dr Emma
says it throughout these chapters that's
so it's not I'm not how am I I'm not
contradicting that I'm saying exactly
that but what I'm saying
yes we just strive to be abandoning
meaning to refine ourselves but who are
we
strive to be who are we
I say to you Yani uh you should go get a
job to do this and this right now you
have another job
so as you are now with your current job
go try to get another job the same thing
the pain in the type
which is the objective of man from God
that Hashem wants us to become a
complete and thought speech in action
who is he who is he until he reaches
that point he's a Russia rush of a
timely that's what the Tanya teaches us
let's continue
and it says
so they the category I'm gonna show him
should constantly battle let's see if
Guyton to avert their mind from the
inappropriate thoughts
but you should know down to them it says
you will never be able
the category of resilient potential
banging him to eradicate completely
the urge
and again as we said at the top of page
34 if you think you can you know excuse
the expression you're a damn fool and
the alternative is what you're about
Guyver
you don't get that's not your mechanism
that's not your nashama
let's continue
he said because eradication
to eradicate completely the bad
Abraham who can do that only the
righteous one
now that ever says there's two ways of
eradicating Ben verse name
Hashem has two ways of deriving pleasure
from our work
alephitos
from completely annulling and
eradicating the negative forces
and transforming bitterness to sweetness
and darkness to light who does this
activity
this is the first category done by Sadiq
but Hashem is the second way that God
derives pleasure from our activity is
not through eradication and obliteration
completely of the evil as done by the
sadikian but it's through us
when we just subjugate the sitarakra we
don't transform it you hear the
difference
is in its potency
and strength it's the the hurricane uh
ideela Adelia that's hitting Tampa and
all that right it's powerful it's
roaring
and as we said yesterday it rises like a
eagle to soar high high high in a
negative way
omishan and from that position God sees
how you subjugate and get and avert the
thought and say as here I don't want to
think about it because of that
God descends makes it
push it pushes it down he makes that ego
four
business
turned to page 67 68
through our activity Hashem
pushes down the city because he sees
that we are initiating the activity of
refinement
are you there abandoned it you see he
says clearly
the third word on page 68 through the
activity of us painting him so yayni
here you see clearly Dr Rebel says the
job is for us
who are by Nature Souls of Russia with
Tove Lo
to refine ourselves and work on
ourselves to the point where we we we we
we become banging it
possession
and this is the meaning in the verse
quote this is by Jacob and esoph
age made for me make for me matamin
Delicacies
it's ugly forgive the question but I
have to ask yes
you know
do we have any references
at all
to someone actually being
pointed out
according to during the definition of
the observative is exotic
in other words
we're obviously speaking here about this
is the safe result abandoning and I
completely get that
question is this definition of decided
according to the alternator
is there anyone ever
that they're actually all in their
category yes the answer is for sure
but doesn't
write those names but if you learn
chapter two well
and Tanya
and he says clearly in every generation
there are Russia Israel leaders of the
generation
now if they follow that that script of
of the governor
who killed this Yates of her the Tinus
in other words that was the method that
he used but anyone
then in in retrospect we know that
that's a topic
so if you're asking me does the outer
ramp is saying Tanya he and he is a
Sadiq the answer is no
because the whole style of cities is not
the spoon feed you
this
the whole style of habocacy this is you
gotta come to it yourself
you want spoon-fed stuff there's plenty
of other Hasidic movements who do that
from blip from what okay
[Music]
we know that when you say that you want
it you get a good and you're saying if
you wanted you you better get it
yourself
well we know the currency of the river
we can work very hard
and maybe we'll attain the level of
enemy
but it's sadic that's like
has there even is there even something
that would be
um
available to us if we worked at it no so
so again
as a Norm the answer is no
because we don't we're not made of that
DNA
we could temporarily be what is he
called earlier spiritually impregnated
that real you know where you have exotic
Soul come into you and you uh do
something that is subject-like but
that's an exception and only a temporary
thing so the answer is no for the
average person and that's why the book
this say for Tanya is a book of bathing
the book that he wrote with Sadiq was
burnt it went up on fire you know why
because it's not for the average person
so it's like a waste it was it was a
waste in a way
and and God from unhide is the tradition
God on high said it doesn't belong on
Earth it's not a safer that they are the
world needs but Maisha Maisha
how do you know someone asked you how do
you know David King governor was exotic
how do you know
someone could take out a Tanakh and
point the stories that clearly would
show that he wasn't outside
right right
well the McPherson the ratak the ramban
and the Ultima first should believe 500
000 years ago had the same question and
do the same thing about the Malik as we
do because they didn't live during
double times but they lived closer to
double demilox times that means their
masora was closer in time to double the
middle of the hours
and they explained all of the events
including the big one
of them marrying basheva right and
sending her husband to the front and
he's killed which seems like like you
know an affair and infidelity and and on
and on and on comes along the gamarrus
in I think attracting chapters and the
gemara says whoever says the dovet
committed a sin is making the mistake
that kayem dolphin didn't say it the
balatah didn't say it
so the question now is do you believe
that I don't mean you do does one belief
the Gamora see it all boils down to you
if
a person I don't care how long this
beard is not be it from not from does he
believe everywhere in the Gamora
and you'll be surprised some don't
people who are striking in tomorrow
don't believe in every word in the
tomorrow they have a different
interpretation
Bill come on it's a clear line in the
Gomorrah call me David
say that
because as the professional explained
where David was coming from
so
let me ask you if you and I live during
the time of the Malik
what we have said Governor you are a
Russia and you are not a good Jewish
King and we shouldn't follow you but let
me plenty people said that
then there were others
who understood where David was coming
from the religious Jewish perspective
whatever that is I don't want to go into
that right now whatever that is that you
look into the first time how they
explained of its act and his reason and
all that
you see Tucker he was King David who
fasted so many days to kill his Yates
Sahara so the Yates shouldn't bother him
so when are there sadikim in every
generation absolutely that's the answer
now it's up to us to find them
if we want
so for so that should answer your
question I feel clearly
the question was
we are not Sadiq that is correct
maybe very few in every generation
and if we want to find them
search research
that's it
you know and I'm sure I I would hope I'm
sure that if you ask
every question will tell you that about
his red book every little fact I'll tell
you about his goggle every person tell
you about his qaham and that's the way
the Jewish Community works if you don't
trust anybody which you're entitled to
do a little research yourself but you
can't just sit back and say oh well the
altareva says this I can't imagine
anyone that doesn't have an urge
you can't imagine so why don't you find
out
and it doesn't mean that you weren't
born without with an urge it means that
you have a type of a soul that can come
to a point where you eliminate urge we
can't do it we cannot do it
we don't have that type of Soul if I may
say so you and I
but a person like or another bit Sadiq
or emotionabino or a balcantov they were
given blessed by God a gift which is
called a nashama that had the potential
at a certain point to reveal itself in a
way where all it's concerned about is
Hashem and Torah without the urge let's
continue I gotta continue
says
Top Line
it says in the verse
that yaakov says to to ASAP he made for
me Delicacies
like I love
the question is I'm from why does it say
matamim plural
Russian rabbit it should say he made for
me a delicacy a good soup
it says that Ace of made for Yakov of
matamim and therefore I love him
says the altareba because the spiritual
meaning of the verses that asaph made
for yaakov two types
of pleasure pleasurable foods and he
continues
and this is the saying of the sriner
lebanel to its children to the Jews
closed Israel to all Jews
as explained in the tikku name of the
zoa
in other words there's one pleasure
coming from Total obliteration and
destruction and eradication of evil done
by Kim and there's just on the same
level another type of pleasure which is
through the pain in the knee which means
there is an issue and there is an urge
and I divert my attention I subjugate
the evil I don't transform it because I
don't have to cut up the ability to
transform it or I could do is subjugate
and Hashem says that's also a delicacy
I have pleasure from that too from
seeing that although you're not exotic
you're only a potential being you're
doing this type of activity of
subjugating the urge
most of the time and now he explains
just as in physical Delicacies instead
of muscle for example
there are two types of Delicacies
one is
delicacy coming from sweet
and tasty food
by Shani the second one is
vinegar type of food you know spicy food
you take the
the bitter spices
and you sweeten them
you make them taste better
until they become actually Delicacies
they're so powerful that they can do
something even that the first type of
food cannot do you eat nice sugary food
right
and you feel faint you're still going to
feel faint not like not as much but
you'll still feel faint
it doesn't accomplish what sharp food
does for the soul when the soul feels
faint
it gives you a jolt
and that jolt
restores your soul you no longer faint
that's why Abram look how the altareba
added the words
to restore the soul specifically by the
second type of delicacy which comes
through the transformation of
of bitter food making it into sweet food
that type of food can restore your soul
but the first type that to begin with is
sweet and tasty and all that as much as
it's good it doesn't create the
restoration of the Soul
what is
that in the moral that the way of Sadiq
came as great as it is
doesn't restore the soul it's all good
very nice I'm a good boy
pat pat my back wow you're an a student
but take an F student a d student take
someone who's rambunctious and turn him
around and make him into a better
student
that's special
that's restoration of soul
restoration of Soul Malaysia is not the
goody goody
ask any educator who brings them more
happiness the goody goody the excellent
student wants to sit up front next to
the teacher or the one who sits in the
back and is is throwing spitballs at the
teacher that's what they used to do in
my days
you know
or the one is trying to put say a cup of
water as his door swings open we used to
do that in Yeshiva
cup of water
falls down onto the head of the teacher
or Stuffs the lock with glue yeah I'm
bringing back some some memories I'm
trying to get you to be safer while you
drive over there hey those are
the fish market on 16th Avenue and
asking for the rotten finish and I used
to put it into steam in the heaters of
the school
that's a new one that I never heard
oh my gosh that's mean but that's
exactly it you take such a student and
such a you know and you turn them around
you make them into a mensch that teacher
has earned gun Aiden that teacher is so
happy you can't bring right he's
restored a soul that's nothing ever says
here so taking good easy food and sweet
food and tasting through this a
delicious steak thank you very much
but take a rotten apple
and make out of a rotten apples oh yeah
he says a stinking fish and somehow as
long as it doesn't you know damage your
body it's you know it's still a healthy
and and you somehow are able to make it
a sweet fish a good fish
that's an accomplishment possession
closer because of Coppola Hashem the
verse says
oh activity for God are for God the god
Russia even the wicked
to the day
it means
that the Russia will return
from his weakness from some from his
wickedness
and he will transform and convert his
bed to
yoemaila youngboy
he will make it into light day and light
because
and that will cause the subjugation of
the negative side and the revelation of
the most precious part of God
oh we'll stop here and tomorrow and Sham
will continue and finish the painting so
this is uh I'm not yes
so I just don't everyone have a great
day bye see you bye
