so we're
learning we're starting 17 on
page now the last chapter which um I
wrote and Moshe com responded is uh when
you have a chance listen to the last
year it's um we did it in one she it's
not but it's it's fascinating
fascinating how the talks about uh
giving when you don't have it's it's a
it's a very heavy one you know uh but he
of course he's talking about giving to a
legitimate cause and a legitimate person
you understand um and and he makes if I
the one thing that I walked away with
from that last chapter is if you want
Hashem to have ra on you mercy on you
then you have on his on his subjects and
and if you're M okay so iser you
know what what you were talking about
before is mic and it's a mic but we have
to be very careful that you know because
if we don't want hasem to be mtic on us
you know cuz so
so although you could be right in or
things like that the whole concept of
being
mic definitely from AIC
perspective
um it should should be uh not we
shouldn't be mogic we we should we
should give you know we should give
someone slack and and and work with them
as long as you know you're not you know
that they're not hurting themselves and
of course that's debatable well being a
goof off and not working is is hurting
yourself so you know I'm not going to go
into it anyway let's go to Y Now dalba
talks about the uh this is a very uh C
kind of cabalistic chapter about the
specialty of the
mitz and and he he'll put it into kic
terms
it is
known through the arousal of of of below
meaning us here on Earth when we
generate the feeling the
connection when a person arouses in
their
heart the attribute of
[Music]
kindness and
mercifulness upon all those that need to
have mercy so when we when we you know
ignite the in our heart for those people
which is called
is the arousal from below the
reciprocating effect
isem arouses from heaven from
above all
of and he he uh awakens us with
abundance of
Mercy from the source of
Mercy andem gives to this individual who
has Mercy on hashem's subjects Hashem
gives
him the fruit the benefit the you
know on Earth and we'll see what that
means
soon and the
principal is the world to come so it's
very clear here that y us
having on those that need
the and we initiate we initiate it we
don't wait for them to to solicit us but
we you know go to them and we initiate
the the giving and the mercy Hashem says
that is worthy of me giving you
something very special and that's called
the fruit in and the principal
and the AL
explains he what are the fruit they
are it is the affluence coming from the
source of
Mercy the Living
God and it's drawn down below
below through the progression of
Worlds from above to below
it this
accomplishment it it the influence the
energy comes from on all the way down
and it goes through the the spiritual
worlds and guess what it ends up where
look what it says in the physical
world in your
children in good
health and sustenance
livelihood that is the the result of H
of initiating raon on
others that's the peros that's the fruit
what about the
principle who it
is as it says in in
broad your Mitzvah is very broad asks
the AL
what is referring to not just seemingly
not just one Mitzvah all
mitv should have
said
not means
one with the between the and the final
is
plural that's one
question another question the
what's the normal word
the great your Mitzvah are great your
Mitzvah is
great is very means broad it's a very uh
enigmatic usage of Hebrew language to
express the greatness of a Mitzvah so
second question in the parenthesis is
the language recover is is Enigma Ella
so he explains now his he answers his
own
question says you're
right doesn't
say plural he says one
mitvah broad is very broad is this one
Mitzvah only gets the attribute
of this is the actual Mitzvah of God
the fact that God in his very essence
and
presence does
constantly to sustain to enliven the
worlds
now and God will do this even more he'll
do this also in the
future even more so when comes
say guard the path of God alls to do so
what do we
see that the Mitzvah of is unique and
the verse is not referring to all
mitz this one mitvah is very special and
it gets the Accolade called we'll see
soon that
means and and he explains this this
other verse just as a path a
d that one walks on
from City to
City to
charity it is kind of the pathway that
reveals the infinite God of
know the translucent light the the
encompassing hovering light energy
of that should shine and reveal itself
through all the worlds until it actually
it reveals itself in the physical
world when we arouse uh the the arouser
From Below through
the free love free kindness no cost
involved no um tit fortat you know I'll
do this for you you do this for me stuff
like that but
real and it it'll it'll reveal itself
next page page
250 in the
future so there's two points here there
is the way this energy Express itself
now pre resurrection of the dead and
there is the way ultimately be expressed
when Messiah comes so it's two different
it's it's one not
but has two stages and the reason why
you Merit to these
stages which is
called what do it called this he calls
this
um the
Karen the
principle so what's the difference he's
going to say soon between the principle
and the fruit right right when you make
an investment you have the profits and
you have the principle right sometimes
you don't make Prophet you're happy you
have the principle right and that but
what he's saying
here is I believe that the Karen is even
higher the Karen the principle is even
greater than the fruit than the result
and what the Karen cu the Karen is
specifically the the one Mitzvah which
is SED that opens up this part this door
which other Mitzvah don't so that's the
answer to his question ready is his
question was why does it
say instead
of instead
of singular single singular language
versus plural the answer is because
we're talking about this one Mitzvah in
other words the other Mitzvah do not
accomplish the same thing they can't
accomplish they they accomplish great
things other things but when you want
something to come from all the way on
high in the from the highest level which
we call S to go come all the way into
your bank account into your life to your
children your health your P it's the
Mitzvah
of not filling not chabas not your ker
they're all very special mitzvas but
they don't have that as their
ingredients Saka has and and what's the
idea you ask yourself why why does
Sedaka have this because the feeling of
evoking and it makes it clear you have
to initiate the process when you evoke
someone else it touches the essence it's
a very deep
point it's not just it's not just you
know I'll do a nice thing I'll do a
spiritual thing I'll do a
Mitzvah the's feeling of Mercy
is is a very powerful one it it's it's
the most powerful when when when done
right when we're really in the mode of
Rahman we learned a few chapters before
that Rahman touches the essence of God
the expression in Caba
is
that which is which is seen through the
third mid of the six
mid to feris Beauty to feris Charisma
Mercy touches the ins why doesn't touch
the why doesn't touch because they're
Limited in comparison to to let's
continue and he
says
um the alen who are right now in the
superal G
Eden um
to the exalted
levels they will be when Messiah comes
resurrected they will be enclothed in
bodies also in the future and they will
rise the time of the
Resurrection to have pleasure from the
ray of the the divine
presence so what comes out from here
buyers is that ganen is a cheap
shot we talk about ganen ganen ganen
Gaden compared to Hab is a cheap shot
why and he says because what you have in
ganaden it's the O it's only the energy
that pervades the world in other words
it's it's a
catered um limited experience so okay
you
see it depends how and when we talk
about Gan when we talk about Gan in one
context it could be the highest of the
high when we talk about ganen and
comparing it
TOA it's nothing it's small change why
because ghen compared TOA is a limit a
limited experience a limited Revelation
Anda is the
ultimate right now when do we have that
after we pass on our must return to
hasem we have the cleansing process
unless you're sadic and then you go into
ghen right
what's is the world of the Resurrection
that's but right so so that experience
of means that you come back on Earth you
see
this is very nice but guess what it's in
a world that must have a spiritual realm
H
there it's like someone must live in
like we've discussed
in whatever you know otherwise they
freak out if they don't
have what their their comfort right in
other words ganen it's galic it's
pleasure it's it's it's it's it's having
Joy from the divine presence but it's
you have to it must be that
way is no we come back on
Earth and right over here you experience
the highest of God that's much greater
so that's
why is greater let's continue so he
says the ghen is only but uh a a
progression from level to level
through many
contractions say like
this was created with the
little but this is what we call superal
wisdom which is called the upper
Aiden that progresses and invest itself
in all enclos self in all
worlds all worlds are associated with
are made
by
and wisdom creativity en liven
right like someone who follows a script
okay it gets boring after a while but
imagine the creative
mind there's
a you get wow excited again it's a so is
the
in every person based on their
comprehension while they were alive they
get that
reward that the pleasure of Souls
and it comes from comprehending the
secrets
of that one was involved in study in
such study on Earth beniga what was
revealed the story is there was a debate
a question if there was a hair on a
bis by
[Music]
by about the the different leprosis the
question is does the if the hair grew
before the bearis or the leprosy grew
before it's a question that that's what
he's referring to over here
so the says there we'll know kind of the
answer for
sure that's why he cites it he cites it
that when
when then the the story the the the
episode of in the will be revealed
but if you compare G aen Paradise to the
revelation of the
Resurrection The Resurrection is a whole
different higher experience it comes
from What's
called the encompassing
energy it is not
limited it's not limited I'll finish
here one
second it's infinite
the first section of 48 we explained the
concept it's not
literal like a circle that it's only on
the outside it's a circle it's rather
inside it's not invested and based
on the
recipient and see there well in chapter
4 48 so in other words one shouldn't
think means it's an energy that hovers
it says it's here it's in it's here in
this world but it's not measured and
created by the the world limitations
it's created by God and it's here so
from our perspective
it's we'll learn more tomorrow Z take
care byebye
