Tanya #16 Healthy Interaction bet Intellect & Emotions - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

so I want to dedicate this year today that was one of our top medium and friends in the sheer his sister passed away one of David Emma's and I'm sure if you have a chance either a person or on the phone or whatever the case with some mayors so we're chapter three paid again well and paid Zion and Netanyahu in the Holy Tanya just to give you a brief overview so until now we learned in chapter one that we all have enough in chapter two we learned that we all have an officially case so we know now the two drives the true drives within Aid now particularly kiss now the question is how do you access these draw ifs what what tools do you have to access these drives some painted dot Gimbal and then paid a dollar in chapter three and four the alternative talks about the two types of tools and instruments and in programs that the the hard drive has the hard drive has um ways of facilitating the the Netflix The God Who sold them the animal the animals on The Godly soul and in chapter three which we're learning today it's about what we call the faculties of the soul the koikasanafish so when you look through the Savvy you have to become familiar you have to it's it's better if you become familiar with the terms so when someone says to you you know exactly what they're referring to and when they say Le voucher garments of the Soul you know exactly what they're talking about when they say never show the key is you know exactly what they're talking about because once you know you're pre-programmed with the terms and you and you've been explained to terms and you learned it and you understand it on your own you you process it through your mind and your heart and your thinking then then then it's more meaningful and you could develop the idea better which is all process all part of what we call his abundance which join us in our dear hover and the talmud is involved in very strongly his mother note meditation reflection contemplation what I said before is all part of that so pay the gimbals we're the outer never if you have to point to a chapter in Tanya where he talks about the faculties of the nishama it's chapter three and Tanya which we're learning now let's learn it inside pay the gimbal beginning Michelle all levels of these three throughout the Tanya Del tereva will refer constantly to these three as a reference to the soul Spirit Soul it's three great Nations within the Shama so all the levels within these three within the nisham um [Music] penis they have what we call 10 levels in English I would translate it better as 10 faculties okay 10 faculties connected they correspond to Essence to the ten supernal spheres which we call in Kabula spiritot right the 10 emanations of godliness so the 10th faculties are a chain reaction directly from the ten spheroes so right here the altered links together the faculties of the ju of the human of the Jew with the ten Swedish and he says they are a chain reaction directly from the spherus and this right here is a fascinating thought when a person asks an average person at any University in any school I have a mind and I have a heart and I have behavior and it's all human conditioning what is the alternative say here in the name of Kabbalah drama says here no stalgia my hand they begin on high so your mind your Seiko and your Middle East are all a derivative a histology this means a derivative of something called the supernospherease supernal spheres at for our purpose for our purposes meaning it comes from Holiness that's what it is it's Holiness it's godliness Garden is the way godliness transports itself from The Godly Abode to the human Abode of the heart of the mind of the heart but that itself moisture when you think about it if you think about this before you doubt them as you doubt them it's not about my intelligence and my and my emotions it's godliness inserted in me which expresses itself through my mind and heart so that's that's a very powerful thought as we continue that's what he says here that's why he uses the word Aviation then he says at the end of the third line and they're divided into two categories it calls them the three mothers the shevikulas and the Seven doubles Peters again the word Peters like we had in the beginning of the first chapter understands that we don't really know what this mothers and doubles are like what's going on here are we you're playing tennis or doubles what's going on here Peter's this means we're talking about the faculty's co of the Mind called wisdom well and I like better concept creative concept being a comprehension of the concept and thus concentration on the concept which is the CCC acronym concept comprehension and concentration CCC and then we have the shivas you may have been in the seven days of building the world was was built kind of in seven days created right what are they the Middle East Justice the fetus the Charisma or beauty holy Etc so the antonym says the cast just as they are in God's method of creation he used seven faculty seven tools three of intellect and seven emotive ones to create the world the world was created with these seven modes there's there's creation Maisha the creation consists of intellect and emotions that's how the world was created and hence we have things that are more of the intellectual nature and things that are moral of the emotional nature why because God has that and God used it to create so two now comes the morrow Picasso to beneficial other when it comes to the the person's soul the person's the shama and that fish is the two categories intellect and emotions includes constant comprehension and concentration period bahadas and the Seven emotive faculties Hashem they are the feeling of having love for God to beautify God from the word to fairest Huli Etc those are the first three right because the rest are subsets so that's a mouth was a separate but like you said are kind of a another kind of are on the same line as to fetus as as explains what he said what the Kabbalah says early which he brought khabara called mothers um just like a mother is a source for a child carrying the child for nine months Etc so too the process of the Mind carries the emotions which come later and not that ever used the word a source for the medus foreign what what is it Dr never say what does it mean that the that the Chabad is the marker of Midas and so he he adds with the with the words because the emotions he told us about our offsprings what is adding here with these words briefly what the out that is saying is don't make the mistake in thinking the emotions the way they function in this world have their own have their generally speaking have their own way of reflecting themselves of exposing themselves of of expressing themselves so it says generally speaking the norm is that when you think about something whether you you create the idea or you understand the idea or you focus on the idea it will lead to a Feeling and that's the natural normal way the exception is when someone goes directly from the soul to the emotions you know whether it's standing there on your Kipper or waking up one day and saying hey where am I who am I and my life is a shambles or my life was so great and and there's a exhilaration of Soul power that directly um fuels the emotion and the emotion flares up and where does that emotion come from not an intellectual process but a soul process that's not what I was talking about here that that's also true and that does happen and when it happens we feel high right it's a whole different level an experience of emotions when it comes from that place but the norm is doubt that Eva says and look at the words the normal midday is the normal emotions are an offspring of kabbad and therefore and therefore for as far as a person's concerned and the Tanya giving the structure of the human being and the Jew and how he he or she he and she are supposed to function in the world the alphabet says so in other words you need if you don't have coffee in a dust there's a breakdown in the Middle East and when we look around at ourselves our children our friends and Community this is a truism this is so true when there when at times we lack the the uh we don't have enough The Meters that come about are either wild me those misplaced me those Etc so this this is why Delta dead says this is how he explains the the cons the quote that there's emoys and shavakulis the mothers and the Seven doubles the doubles he refers toes and they're doubled up through the faculties of Nazar in other words is endurance I mean we translated Loosely that's because Victory but it means determination and endurance says that's a direct link with hesit that a person has Crescent it is so steeped and has said that he endures to accomplish and he's determined and there's other ideas but we'll leave it at that so this Uncle upon him this this these five seven four six seven eight lines that we just learned is the beginning structure to understand the faculties that we have peering and let's continue to understand this to clarify it better next page key on top of page 14. the intellect within the human rational soul it is this the human rational soul that comprehends everything this we call the potential for for what will be for what is now right here on the first line Deltona throws in kind of without an introduction hello where did we learn about enough for sure my scale is still now we learned about an episode bombers and we learned about enough for Shirley kiss and all of a sudden in chapter three line one page 14 we find the words never shamaskellus and it's just going to ask that same question okay so we're on the same page and the explanation is that that you could you could say that drama doesn't meet here a separate third drive he means the Netflix Obama's part of the nepheus is the Intel intellected emotions but there's also the explanation that he does refer to a specific third Drive and it's this third Drive Maisha that's the seat of Free Will right if woman someone asks you make sure where is the place of Free Will within the within the person oh uh when they have a struggle between effort promise and official horror and classical Jewish literature that's the free will oh really wait a minute the gates are toys that's not free will that means they're predetermined right you have two apples green and red and you choose red why because you like the color red you like the taste of red that's free will you never were free you were always caught by Red or vice versa so either it I'm I'm never sure the kids I'm never shabbonics depending what's going on where I am today and what I'm doing so where's free will there's no free will so he said this explains that the Free Will is in this third Drive called Seiko never is the component that Hashem puts within a person to discern with their sacral whether this is good or bad right or wrong up or down should I do it or should not do it that's that's there's free will there in the Netflix of the kiss there's no free will godliness is all it knows about and wants the nephe Obama wants to only be a Bahama an animal then there is the human intelligence and the human intelligence smells what's better than itself I.E godliness but it's still human intelligence within this world and the person and therefore enjoys life and wants physical life and wants indulgences so it has a a struggle intellectually what should I do that's where this Free Will so the out that ever says here hace the intellect within this drive it is this Seiko within this drive that comprehends everything that that goes about its job to comprehend everything it's called kayakma meanings you see here that was interpretation of Hoffman is not the classical meaning of the word wisdom or a wise man right again we're learning Tanya not learning your mother we're not learning what is interpretation and meaning when he speaks about he doesn't mean being a wise man he means that creative Force within every person that has the potential for creativity and in his language is comprised of two words the potential map of what will be okay and now when the person goes about to facilitate their potential into actual means potential poem is actuality not by playing with you with cards and looking at the sun and the moon and but rather this way okay you know Unison talks about his buttoners this is his abundance right here is giving you the he's giving you the the the the the the the the rules and items of his abundance to use when you reflect you contemplate with yourself with your mind to understand something very properly and correctly and more so only om Curry and to delve deeply into it when learning some intellectual concept that's in your mind this is not called any longer Avi this process the second process used in the mind is called BINA why BINA because it's understanding it's not it's contemplation it's not just a creative thought there is an idea is creating through his art beautiful artwork that I see in the background there is the creation the idea right what do I what what what do I want to get across but then there is how am I going to do it before you put your your quill and your to to the to the paper and the parchment than what you're drawing so that needs to be first the creative idea the nakuda that's then there is the development of that the development of that idea which is what we call here in Tanya BINA classically we interpret that obvious understanding what I said before is to use the word I like the word to comprehend to understand how one second you understand how this idea how it develops itself yes yes please but will you come on next week you take your time and understand what with them before him and then he go into it that that you know that okay you just said that in gamara learning you have something called kirison to kind of learn fast and cover ground and then when you go deeply into it but I make he's saying that's the process of of being as an example sure let's continue look at the language I love the language here say hey and this this one is with a known Hain with a noon and then ham with a schless man final Mane and they are what are they referring to moisture which are the Hein Haim Maisha come on what are the hey name what are they which what are they right he's he just finished explaining what Hoffman Bina is the hey hey and they are they referring to Hoffman Vietnam they are up for him the father and the mother the father being the process the aim and the mother being the being a process the mother takes that that [Music] created fetus and nurtures it and develops it and nine months go by the mother spends nine months making nice knives to this fetus and then we have what's the next word hamolidos which gives us birth offspring Abba sashem to the love of God and offer God to factor in fear for God to stop there for a moment in other words a father and a mother I don't want to uh you know spend much time on this but you need a father and a mother to have a healthy molitos sure there's all kinds of ways to have children and sometimes even necessary ways but the fact that there's an avoid the results are very different because the ab gives something and the aim gives something and it's not just in the physical bio biological details it's not that ever saying that James has said this Gerson and iMac you need you need gearsa you need too if someone only develops and doesn't have any iota of of that's a there's a there's a breakdown because then you can be developing foolishness silly ideas and we have people that are amazing in development of idea but they're missing the nakuda and they can build a big mountain there is no foundation and one day we have a collapse the building fell down the server side there was a problem with the Assad the foundation in this scenario it's the so someone will say well one second I'm not strong with ideas I'm strong in developing ideas and articulating ideas and facilitating ideas but my cup of tea is not creating the idea yes that's true but nevertheless you need someone else to give you an idea and for you to use your strength and if you don't you're walking in the Darkness and you can and it can feel and and you can present yourself as this big on top person who understands and there's the Kuda that's missing and the same is true vice versa someone who can intellectually eyes and create an idea but doesn't have any connection to the development of idea it ain't going anywhere we have plenty of people who sit around says I have this great idea and this great idea and I'm gonna make a patent and come out with the world's ID and I'm gonna become so wealthy because people are going to buy and the government's gonna buy and we're saying yeah this is I'm giving you the skittish phrase that is worth a million bucks which means it ain't happening right I know just the way I said flagy means to fly to fly means to to be reality existence it ain't existence it ain't flying anywhere it's all your imagination that power of imagination is so powerful and it can create this big balloon and it looks very nice but you put a pin in it and it becomes deflated right what's missing there the cree the idea that the idea that it's solid and that's why when we learn takit it's in everything but when we learn it's so important to make sure to have them that could the correct because once you have the nakuda then the development and the amcos and Bina will will be correct and this is a very important you're listening you're working on this bananas this nakoda that you have to really and then when Yeshiva when we learn to say this in particular but in the commodity too this is something that the our teachers struggle to get us to understand and and and go on that approach because as you learn whatever subject matter it gets fascinating and you get into it and you can create this whole picture but you're missing the recorder and if you're missing the nakoda you go off and people ask why did he or she go off whether it's off the Derek will go off whatever many times most times because they're missing the nakoda you have to have the nakoda and in the afternoon you have the the creative point that Solid Rock Solid the building will go up and it'll stand and it'll be developed and the same is true as in business and the same is true in parenting you have to have the nakuda so this is you know we learned Tanya we're learning over some metabolistic ideas and then explain to hasidis but if you want to like bring it back home without the Reba says it clearly you ask yourself a question that happened in the morning I have I don't have the feeling where's my Abbas Hashem where do I have that heart palpitation for God I love you I need you when do I have that oh that that true Europe the answer is check your nakuda do you have the nakoda did you did you learn about the nakoda that you developed in the Kuda did you hang around and take tutelage from people who have the nakoda that they share with you how to get the nakuda and for that you need a father I've without the eyes you're missing the nakuta yet and not having a mother there's no baby there's no result there's no feeling but pray your mom is in actuality of love and and all that's why it's so important to have an avalene the structure of the Jewish Family is the Ava aim yes Maisha so look at the nikuda is represented by other I'm just not King what is the would be the I know that the development of the nikuda is there something more is there another I don't know symbol yes the the the mother take the mother takes that diamond that there's that the thought that there is here and she she develops it and she puts it into the right context and she sees where it belongs where it doesn't belong I.E ultimately is through the nine month period of gestation where the fetus is in the womb that we have a a baby and if God forbid there's an issue we know that there's a problem later because there was a problem in in vitro I think that you're asking about the importance of a mother in developing not just physically a child which of course but we're talking about the structure of a family the structure of children is primarily as the bias the Mainstay of the home I mean just yesterday in one of my interviews fascinating interviews my head spinning from these interviews you know when you get when you get when you get when you get to the right person who opens up you you you cannot you see what later comes years later and you start understanding that when there's uh when there's an issue between a father and a mother and whether one was always working didn't have time for the family or someone who wasn't working much and didn't have time for the family but didn't do anything else except sitting on a couch and playing on the Internet or watching TV we have a breakdown we have a problem so that might should meet so that's you asked the mother takes the nakuda and expands it to the right places and if not you can have a great idea and a great nakoda but it's not going anywhere and and and and what will be the result of that what Hillel deals with probably most of the time that that's it's not it's not you know yeah I have the addiction now when does the day Addiction come from why did the why is the addiction there you got to go back and I'm not suggesting psychoanalysis over behavioral therapy I'm not coming from that place right now I'm just saying that you need to look at the Chinese the source and the Tanya when you learn this piece of Tanya in other places but this piece in particular which is the kind of the the chapter three of Tanya is the chapter of the faculties chapter three and you look and you look carefully at his words you know when you say you learn how you know and even when you learn Hillel has had a share with the Baroque I believe in the learning Tanya and others it's very important but you know when you take like that's why I wanted to teach the time you're just taking the text here without commentaries and just looking at the words and and and and seeing the words so that's why I point out to you because hey name you know what's this language he could have said without the other word hey we're gonna set the Hang without hame he's emphasizing he's giving you a shot in the arm hey hey pay attention here pay attention Alpha aim father and mother how many leaders Hashem and when there's a in this when this lacking hey you have either only or only Bina one without the other you don't have that proper my leaders of office and give us a chef okay um we'll stop here I believe it's already time however what's the time 20 pounds everyone should have a great Shabbos and then passes bashallah and we'll see everyone with Hashem Monday right and early with a lot of kayaks hello
