we're learning today Tanya we're
beginning chapter 21 of olive on page 52
just to recap and to bring everyone up
to par down in chapter 20 in addressing
Maisha the banani the out the rebel the
the potential man's way of perfecting
his life her life in thought speech and
action and serving God
and it's based on the first impressions
itself
but this thing is very near you in your
mouth in your heart that they act upon
it the ultimate says
that that this requires a realization
that God and the world are united in
every facet we call this Hashem
and to understand after sashem the
better you understand after sashem will
understand how all Mitzvahs all positive
Commandments are Incorporated in the
first commandment I am God your garden
of the Ten Commandments and we'll
understand how all the negative
Commandments that Mrs Lewis say are all
part of the second Commander the second
of the Ten Commandments
don't have any far other foreign gods
and so by understanding the first two
Commandments which is all about Hashem
God's Unity how God is in everything and
how the world is united with God and
there is no two entities
there is no separation but it's Movada
as you're all aware of that language
there's nothing besides him it's all him
the more we understand about that the
more we'll understand
how everything that that that that that
the world that Hashem created is there
for his purpose so you banging me what's
taken to say you bang the knee
by by holding yourself back from uh from
from getting upset
and holding yourself back from anger and
holding yourself back from whatever
other issues there are you're actually
materializing
God's presence Hashem
that that and and and and so too from
doing the different Mitzvahs from from
this the minutest type of Mitzvahs the
easiest type of Mr hardest which is its
own expression of atus Hashem that's the
trajectory that we're on now and the
other brought a muscle in chapter 20.
how the world is nullified in the
godhead what's the muscle he says it's
similar to a person speaking speaking
with the one word that a person speaks
is nothing if in comparison it's like
nothing I'm sorry it says the word
killer it's like nothing in comparison
to the power of speech within the soul
every one of us has a faculty of speech
and the faculty of speech is infinite
and complete in comparison to the one
speech sentence of a person
then he goes even further the
shortcoming of the faculty of speech and
compare in comparison to speeches that
the faculty of speech is speech it's not
intellect right
is not muted please be yourself and the
so therefore now the rabbit says okay
why don't you compare this one speech
this one talk with one line is one word
to the faculty of thought Machado
there it's the the worth the worthiness
of speech in comparison to thought is
even less worthy right because forth is
not speech and where does speech come
from good healthy speech normal speech
from thought so when I say when I you
know one word if I compare that word to
the power of thought it's more
insignificant
is nevertheless
the power of thought is a has an
association to speech to say that the
one the one word has no value whatsoever
it's zero compared to the power of
thought there's not is not true
it's true it's not speech the power of
thought does not speech it's thought but
it's such thought that has an
association with speech
it's there for speech because it wants
the speech to be proper so you gotta
think beforehand
says the out to that be a right so then
compare this one word to the soul
to the eczema nepheus as it says in the
chapter in 20 to the second to the who
the person is the mind and the Heart
the mind is not speaking it is not
thinking the Mind uses thought and
they'll use it speech but the mind the
way the way a person mind works is
outside of thought and outside of speech
it's it's who he is
every one of us was born Easter said you
know it's more you know he has studied
philosophy
that's the way he was born
I wasn't born that way
it doesn't mean to say I I don't enjoy I
feel a philosophical discussion but
that's not who I am
there are people who that's who they are
and so each and every one of us we have
a certain way that our we were born and
that's that's what makes us the way we
are the same was with the heart the
feelings
I remember another discussion we had in
the Easter said though you know this
issue of feeling I don't have you know
it's not it's not a blame game that's
the way you're born
now if
nevertheless the title says if if
there's a time when you need to have a
feeling it you have to work on
developing the feeling even though
you're born with in a way that you don't
gravitate automatically towards the
feeling you gravitate towards the
understanding the mind so every one of
us
has a certain
Midas so now
is is is bereft of thought and surely
bereft of speech there's no words in
Seiko there's no words in in in in in in
Meadows in feelings
the words come later and the words are
used as tools and instrument to to
express the feeling I love you I hate
you I I feel Mercy for you right those
words are are an articulation and and
development that come later and are very
important but that's not who the person
is
to go and say someone who thinks a
certain way
and that say I'm sorry a person who who
understands the things a certain way to
say
that person and then later the person
gives a lecture and say
you see there's there's a famous saying
um
his soul
comes out bedabri when he speaks in
other words
right you could tell if a person is
smart or foolish
from the way to speak listen to the way
they speak so we have those type of
clothing those type of generalities and
statements in hazal ETC but it doesn't
contradict what we're saying here
yes speech is a tool a tool an
instrument
expresses
certain ideas of of the soul but that it
doesn't it doesn't Express all of the
Soul
there's a whole discussion on this and
see this you know
do we do we know
can we tell from Behavior
who the person is
is it fair to say and I don't be fair to
say by you know by the Judgment of of
civil law or even Toyota law I'm talking
about is is it is it correct is it
correct or incorrect
that the way you behave is who you are
and see this in the rambam
I believe conclude that I believe say no
that's not who the person is necessarily
right that's otherwise you would say
someone who is uh in their speech in the
thought you know messed up can never do
chuva this is who they are the answer is
no they have in the shama they have a
they have a deep the Shema and to deep
the shama is pure is stripped from any
form
if you say that the Messiah has already
a formed it's not a pure noshoma
it's not exim on Netflix
we're not talking about that I behave
nicely I express myself nicely we're
talking about a a soul that's from on
high clean pure
and it doesn't have any conditions and
and definitions to it it's one thing
it's an Essence
that God gives a person
so the outlet here in in chapter 20 he
he went with this idea and he and and
therefore it comes to the temporary
conclusion which is gonna now continue
in chapter 21 that that the significance
of the world we live in being the world
comes from what he or
May there be a light may there be is Sir
right he is Sir
it's only a word
if you compare he is Sir to all of his
sir it's insignificant
it's significant because Hashem wants it
at the end of the day but from the
person's perspective it's totally
insignificant
and this is what he's talking about now
and therefore when a person realizes
this then the person is the person's
entity the person's ego the person's
understanding of himself and his
accomplishments is is foolish it's it's
it's it's it's so insignificant compared
to the
reality of God
and and one realizes that the reality of
God is all of God so if Hashem says
that's what's going to be and it's going
to be their full force but not because
of Israel because of he because God says
here and the emotional I gave you last
week as well as the stone is flying
upward it it keeps on flying as long as
the kayak is there the stone never
becomes quote a flying Stone
it's a stone that's flying because of
the kayak of the hand that carries and
Carries and Carries and as soon as the
chaos ceases boom gravity it drops back
below so
what is the stone that's flying is it is
it by is it naturally flying or is it
naturally gravity heaviness
gravity and heaviness that's what it is
if you strip the Hashem senior he or
there is no light he never gave light
Independence outside of he giving it so
that he is always there
this is the idea that we're pursuing now
let's learn inside
chapter 21.
he named me this is
the measurement of God the aspect of
Hashem
is not like the human being
how is the what's the difference
when he speaks uh a word
the breath coming out of the speech
in his of his mouth
it is
and it appears to be with independent
it is now separated from its source from
where it came
and where did it come from
which is the it comes from the ten
levels of the Soul itself
this is the way it is by a human being
that the deeper appears to be
conversely God Almighty and the Buddha
he moved on me menu his body his speech
God's speech is not God forbid separated
me Manu from him
why he ain't never hurts me Manuel
because there is nothing outside of God
the
lesson
and there is no place that is empty of
him where he doesn't find himself but
lahain and therefore ain't the Buddha is
God's speech is not God forbid like our
speech
foreign
making it very clear that the comparison
between
our speech in comparison to our power of
speech and our power of thought and our
soul is
and and we say the same as regarding
God's saying May there be he or know
that
says I want you to know that the
comparison is not really a comparison
because by a person
at the end of the day
when you speak it comes out and it's
separate
it's separate from who we are but by
Hashem it's always within God and this
ties into what you were learning
the idea of the Sun Bowl the Sun Ray
being always oh yeah remember that those
ideas
it's the light that's Incorporated
in the illuminary and it's always that
way
like our speech God forbid and he adds
in the brackets
just as what hashem's thought which he
used to create the world Etc is not like
our thoughts it says
Hashem says my thought is not like your
thoughts even says
so too my ways are so much exalted above
your ways Etc
so if that's the case now could ever
asks on himself so why do we employ the
muscle of speech if you're saying that
it's not really a comparison because by
speech the word comes out and it's a
separate independent
being now that it came out once the word
is spoken whereas by God even when he
says he or it never becomes Independence
so why use the analogy of speech I'll
never answer that now
and it's not called the the speech of
Hashem
to shame deeper with the name speech
it's only used as an example
of them as speeches by man here below
whom the galile is shining
what a speech over here below there's a
there's one there's another aspect of
speech in which they it is a good
comparison and you know what that is the
revelation
right something that was was hidden was
closed and now you speak it out so you
will magala you reveal his languages
Mash itself and believe me what was
hidden in the heart so too look one more
line so so too
um
so too above the Ace of butter who by
God old the infinite God you'd see us
the energy coming out of God
from the concealment to the Revelation
to create worlds and enliven them
they're called deeper
you're right
as far as the aspect of people being
independent there's no comparison to God
who whose word is never independent but
there's another aspect to Deborah in
other words there's various aspects to
speech what's the other aspect
whether regardless of whether it's
independent or not it's Revelation like
hear you
who reveals himself through yahir
and out there ever says that's the
that's the prop that's why
we use the analogy of deep or
to Hashem although in in in in the
aspect of Independence it's not a
comparison but yet in the aspect of
Revelation it isn't it is a good
comparison and therefore we employ it so
just as Hashem
reveals himself through speech so too
I'm sorry just as a person reveals
through speech what's hidden in their
heart
reveals himself his Essence through
the use of speech saying let there be
light ye here we'll continue tomorrow
have a great day
shalom
