learning
um chapter
4 We're on page 3
210 and we are
in middle of the
page after the words
call says here that there is
two
activities when it comes to a bris a
circumcision one
is called Mila the circumcised cut to
cut and then there is
Pria the forkin to pull us to pull away
the foreskin from covering the
ma he explains that the first part the
says you shall circumcise we have the
ability to not only the ability and we
must alone ourselves do the C
circumcision process of cutting
away the bad habits and the indulgences
and things like that that are coarse and
Corporal what about those indulgences
that are very refined or not very
refined we find and in the sense
of you know we we we still have cravings
and urges that Al says God will do when
mhia
comes that not something that we can
accomplish do you hear
that you hear that so bar I know you're
hoping to be a a sadic where all of your
urges will go away well let me not break
the you bust the bubble it ain't
happening
okay unless you're sadic and you are a
sadic um generally speaking freely
speaking you're a sadic but outside of
sadik ab everyone has an urge we learned
that in Tanya already remember in
chapter
12 so the idea of the
lightweight
indulgences that's not something that's
possible to actually accomplish during
our life time and during the lifetime of
everyone before msia comes
and it's important to to really
understand this CU people especially
people Ville who are learning and Ding
and growing and want to become more Rus
right more
spiritual you could get very
frustrated and you could say I'm
learning I'm ding giving Seda I'm
helping people I'm being good I I threw
away all of my foolish things that I
didn't that I knew about or didn't know
about in my youth I've done chuva and I
still have cravings and I still have
urges for unhealthy things spiritually
and
physically so we already learned in
Tanya chapter 27 the AL says if you have
such a thought you're a Bala you're ego
an ego
Maniac you have you have the whole
equation wrong completely
wrong you expect to be a because a sadic
doesn't have those urges a sadic ver too
the highest level of sadic sadic
G but outside of the sad gmer the four
other
categories everyone has
urges so for you to have this
expectation is not only erroneous it's
not only a mistake on your part it shows
you you think of
yourself that you're you're so much
better than who you really are you're
miscalculating you're Mis assessing who
you really are and this is a key element
in
AEM but I also want to say that at the
same
time not to work and not to Endeavor is
also not an answer we are Tau we're
supposed to strive we're supposed to
work and then
spoke about this in his early years of
leadership in 1952 on M in a very famous
Discord
called from the Torah
verse and the was actually very
emotional when he said this and he said
basically and it's printed both in
Hebrew and English and I do encourage
you to learn the M it's a
classic the re says there
that taking a moment and thinking about
what's with my love for God my fear for
God and my pleasure for God and my will
for
God taking time during your lifetime
when you're supposed to be working and
thinking about your own levels is
contrary to your your mission on Earth
you need to
do but when it
came it came the night before the day
before the day of his passing he stopped
for a moment and he said where am I
going am I going to Paradise or the
opposite why because he never took the
time to think about where he's going cuz
he wasn't relevant it was all about God
not about him
the
here talks
about the two ideas of mil and
Priya circumcision and removal of
foreskin and he says both are
necessary but one must realize that the
ultimate of Priya of removing
forkin meaning removing any type of
cover up and hindrance in service of
God the ultimate will come a Mah comes
there are certain things it's not within
your ability to remove move so don't
waste your time again he doesn't say
those words don't waste your time but
that's the implication don't waste your
time okay be focused on what you need to
do when you when you're focused on your
mission everything falls into place and
let God worry about it don't play God so
let's go now to page 1
210 um it's about TW 10 12 lines from
the bottom after the period
called said
that when mhia comes Hashem will
circumcise the heart giving you a love
for God with all your heart and all your
soul for the for the purpose of your
life and then he says clar this is like
a line
before what is he saying with these
words
he just says God's going to give you's
going to give you when Mia comes
and what what is what is missing here
Mas what is missing in the in the
understanding of the AL words that he
adds the words
clar you know what clar means CL means I
I mean to say let me explain it to you
what is lacking that we need explanation
and the answer is that there is the
mindset is I am God's servant
but I there's an I first and then
there's God's servant God imposes and
puts gives me the ability to be a
servant that's
not you know what
is means this is your life you get up in
the morning you're alive what's the
first thing you do you say you woke up
that's
not
I I woke
up that's life that's
breathing I told you the story I think
it was RAB Castel one of the older he
moved to May and a friend of mine here
one of the
sl's grandchildren told me he was
supervising him in Mayar where he lived
he he he lived with him for a while so
cuz he was an older man to to give him
help him with his basic needs so he
remembers one
morning he he heard a noise coming from
his
bed I'm
alive and he jumps off from the you know
the kitchen chair where this young yel
was was was sitting and he says
everything all right everything all
right he says
yeah he says I woke up I realized I'm
alive
that's is
not life is not good life bad life this
type of life that type of Life all of
that
is not life that's an adjunct to life so
the AL says when messia will come when
the foreskin of refined indulgences will
be
removed the feeling will be God is my
life just like breathing the only way I
can live is by breathing we will have
the same Sensation that the only way I
can live is to have Hashem in my life
Hashem is life my life there isn't my
life and then there's AEM in my life
this is life let's look at the
words
because so beautifully
said for God himself and Only God
who he is my entire life in
actuality this is what we're going to
sense when Messiah comes and you know we
can't really understand it now and feel
it for sure because it's PR's time but
we could we could talk about it we could
understand it on some level that's why I
gave you
the the mush the parable of waking up
and realizing I'm
alive
okay I go back and we have Dr velvel
here I go back to you know when before I
got my sleep acting
machine I was miserable I was drooling I
had headaches and I couldn't figure it
out and somehow Hashem sent the
right um this friend from from Russia
two two brothers who I knew and had a
relationship with and and they one of
them became a
pulmonologist and he said let me come to
me I want to check you out he checked me
out he gave me a sleep test and he found
that boy did I have sleep apnea bad
and uh he put He put on and gave me the
machine and overnight everything went
away I M
felt I always say I've already had the
resurrection of the Dead once in my life
when I put that sleep back the machine
on my drooling stopped my headache
stopped I stopped falling asleep I'm
fresh throughout the day
and and this isn't the
real the real is Way Way Beyond that but
what's the word in English an epiphany
you know when you have an epiphany that
I I like that word The
Epiphany the
realization the realization that God is
everything that's what the says here and
that will be accomplished
only when M comes so probably you're
going to ask me you're going to ask so
you mean I can't
experience this level by
learning like a
good which it says we should study
during very nice but if you think and
they have to learn you're going to have
not have urges and savings think again
that's not why you
learn you
learn so that you do one less A
what that's why you
learn you don't
learn because after I learned for 20
days it's like the fellow said you want
to see mashia you want to see him for 40
days fast or 40 days go to the Cil
40 days he goes to the k y and he
realizes he's the same old
joeo with the same old Cravings with the
same old
tias what
happened and what's the answer the
answer is the way you went about the 40
days of of of going to the kisel was so
egotistical and therefore the result is
your ego is stronger cuzz now you could
say I went 40 days to the
K you understand when we talk about
going 40 days to the C if that seula is
a true
seula and I have no problem with it
being a true seula it's if you do the
seula in a in in a bit way in a in a in
a humble way not if you you know that's
the problem today with many of these
things is we go about them not with
humility we go about them with
I'm going to get this I'm going to prove
this in in other words the mindset is
you understand and that might be a
difference just for another moment
between when sikim of old gave a a keha
an amulet or or or wrote an amulet or
gave
aula the intent was be humble and just
have it with
you and and let and let it do what it
needs to
[Laughter]
do just like the beepers did what they
had to do to explode and kill these
MIM so
too let the holy beeper of a seula and
an amulet just do what it has to do and
you forget about it don't go around
saying you know what I went to this Reba
I went to this mle and they gave me a a
a keha an amulet and they gave me a
recipe and they gave me a secret and
therefore
ABCD it's not going to
work cuz you're contradicting the energy
of the
amulet you're contradicting what the
rebba gave you the rebba gave you an
opportunity beyond the norm if you're a
mench and you're normal and you
understand that you're a nothing and if
you have that
feeling whatever he gave you will kind
of explode in you and take you to
another level in a positive way but if
you interfere with your own yes your own
ego you ain't getting anything from any
remedies and sigas and fasting 40 days
and going to the C 40 days and jumping
up and down nothing 0 * 0 equals 0 and
that's a guarantee and I people don't
like to hear it but that's the truth
that is the
EM why because you're not in the world
of
suula you're contradicting
skoa amulets bras you're all about
yourself so the says here in these few
words here
in if you want the Messiah experience to
impact you then you have to be totally a
no to God to the point of there all the
your life is God and that's the answer B
to the question can we experience this
today Masha yeah that's what the said if
you live
mas if you live today with the same
energy that CL we will live with when
mhia comes then you will have mashia
today in your life
of course we want the real mashia the
real b m we know that but we're talking
about I don't know to me this is like
the my understanding of the Reb's words
open your eyes and see mashia I open my
eyes I don't see mashiah I see beepers
exploding I see War I see famine I see
jealousy I see my own stick yeah because
we're not living Mia but if you adapt
the mindset and you really refine
yourself on that level
and you live mashia dick then you will
experience msia like
feelings anyway let's go into the
text the love generated
by that God is your
life create comes from the depth of your
heart m comes from the very inner deep
self transcending the level of Das of
knowledge which is a composed
experience right you know say when will
M
come when knowledge will be removed
unknowingly
surprise Mr mhia Rabbi m walks into a
into your house on a Wednesday
afternoon hey you gave me the
warning say this Masia will come when
we're most unprepared again
lail October 7th we were
unprepared and we had the tragedy how
much more so a messiah will come we will
be unprepared because we're busy with
all the silly things in the world and it
comes how do you like that that's what
it says sidus takes it on a deeper level
not that it means we're unprepared
literally we have to prepare ourselves
by becoming more mashiah di but msia
will transcend Das h means to remove
Das you to the the level of mesia that
we're talking about here is
Transcendental transcending d no Das no
legitimate figured out composed boxed in
knowledge will bring this m only when
you go beyond
it let's
continue will come in such a way to all
of
[Music]
Israel this is meaning means the
revelation of the quintessential point
of in
inwardness the general
one and at that time the Divine present
will
exit the
over from the Exile
captivity for
eternity this is regarding what will
happen on a global level to all of us
[Music]
every Divine
spark that's found within every Jew
that's in
captivity will exit from its
Exile it
captivity
temporarily during the time that's
called temporary life prayer the says in
Shas
T is considered Eternal and is temporary
because is generated by man depending on
man to comes from a God so it's it's
it's Eternal says the AL that you can
experience the exiting
of daily through prayer while you pray
while you
D the service of the heart that comes
from the depth of the
heart is from
quintessential which is revealed May
coming out of its
forkin ascends
upward with a mighty desire next
page top of the
page experiencing this idea of for God
is your
life for who got
just like will come it will be
with transcending knowledge so to this
experience of of releasing your
your from within yourself within your
Cravings will
come when you remove your approach to
Hashem which is with Das only right
for this level needed to experience the
exiting of the from it has it
transcends of of the
person and when he meditates on God even
the
meditation a even the meditation and
contemplation on God's greatness is
nevertheless a limitation it's your
meditation a meditation a contemplation
on God has a description has a
definition and we're talking about
experiencing when you remove
that you begin with
that you begin with his bonus but then
you allow his bonness to submerge you
where you are not in control IE you've
gone beyond D let's continue
says the what is it called a a
gift it's a
[Music]
gift from the level which is called
theal
Contin it
says hasem will illuminate his face his
countenance
you wow God is shining his face on
me who will do the circumcision then not
you not we but God will do the
circumcision because when
we
vacate his bonness and d and limitation
and conditions and boxes and
restrictions we open open ourselves up
to
experience God in God's pure
form
finish it's
known the arousal that comes from God
who
above
he it
requires this is what I just said to you
velv it requires first an arousal from
below and that's what B did he bought to
learn
specifically you have to elevate the
feminine
Waters a drop of water doesn't come from
above till there's a call from the
clouds from below right so in other
words Masha you need to invest
and you need to bring
that those you have to sew and plow and
work and then God lowers the rain onto
your your your sewing and plowing and
and the crop
grows
therefore a person has to First do this
circumcision to remove the forkin of the
heart the Clippers haasa and the and the
coarse husk and
[Music]
shell and even the the the thinner the
more refined Clipper you still have to
try to remove it as much as you can all
this coming from your inner
heart this is
he repeats the that he said
before the level of this is my
life
which in the that we in
the beautiful Point says just like we
spoke about before
Experiencing God is life not God is just
good life and this life God is life the
the god equals life you can't separate
the two guess what we're so
angulos and we indulge so much y that
the tiers become who we are remember
that mus I gave you you bring the plate
of food someone hasn't eaten days and
you invite him over to your house and
then you have someone over who has but
right now he's
traveling and you put down the plate of
food in front of them and then someone
comes and snatches the the plates from
each who's going to be more upset the
wealthy person that always has or the
poor person that never has the wealthy
person the poor person that never has so
again he thought he had a plate of food
it was taken away right but the the
wealthy person expects it I'm a wealthy
person I'm traveling now so thank you
for bringing a play I don't have it he
goes
crazy
why AB why because the pl of food and
the wealthy person became
one when you talk about him you're
talking about indulging that's who he is
he can't live without it he's truly
addicted really addicted this is
addiction the poor person is not
addicted to the food he's hungry he
would love to eat but he hasn't eaten in
a long time so it'll be another day
because he and the food are not one the
wealthy person that's who he is says the
since we in our tyus have gone so low
where tyus Indulgence become who we are
and we must have him it's an addiction
otherwise we can't
function so the only way to get out of
that is by bringing into your life the
opposite Z that God is our life God is
life excuse me God is life is the
antidote to Tia's life
you hear that I want you
to take those words and and put them on
into your head think about it over
shabas the antidote to tius is life is
God Is Life T's Life mashia Is Life re
is
life all of that is the an to the
addiction and by the way if you don't
come to that point the tyer will always
bother you and and and and and drive you
and ultimately many times you fail you
fall into the
Ty let's
[Music]
go this answers your question that you
asked me yesterday on the
WhatsApp how do I accomplish this here
the AL says by
giving from your
money which is your life force you
worked so hard youit you're not
interested in this work and you work
around the clock you're not home with
your kids and your wife and your friends
and the sh all to bring home money
parosa and you take that money that that
you work so hard which means it's you
and you give it away someone
else and specifically someone whose
livelihood is
very is very
meager and the the time presses in other
words he's he's really under stress
where he needs to pay the bills he needs
to pay tuition he needs to pay for the
car payment and if not he doesn't have a
car and the doctor doesn't want to see
him
and Yesa says sorry you can't bring your
kids
here but that's the
situation and he gives away this money
that he could use to pay any of these
bills he's not giving extra money masas
that he has somewhere stashed away he's
giving away his piece of
bread that's is giving away his life
if someone enjoys the work that he does
and he gets paid for it
too it's the person worked hard and he
enjoyed it but he worked very hard so
his entire Gish his entire pleasure his
entire life is in the work that he
did
similar
now when he
splurges and he gives s from his hard
earned
effort and he gives this to mean
gives with
happiness and gladness of the
heart you hear what the say here you
have here the answer for Life giving
away your money to you redeem your soul
M that's a heavy language heavy word AB
what does it mean from
destruction that's what it
says essential part of his aspect of
his was in Exile in
captivity more
refined from all hidden watch my heart
Mish Mish means not just a place of
watching you can't get out it's a jail
you're was in jail and now you released
it
and now your is redeemed from the extru
forces through
this we'll continue and finish the
chapter tomorrow makes AEM but this is
an incredible
in
go basically it's basically saying the T
this is the T for for for for what what
he's discussing this is M for for yeah
but but yeah but in you don't see using
the word ti so in breast they use the
word TI in doesn't see it as a TI but
that's true in other words this is the
is a
work this this is the the work that's
necessary this isn't y read you know the
10 want to make it this isn't the cotton
and this isn't the tick those are
different they're very holy and very
good but this is not without he wants
your work and he wants you to to work on
yourself with where where you understand
that when you give from your money and
your life force that you need and you
work so hard and you give it away to
someone else or to Hashem through to a
cause you're
actually you're actually causing your
Nish that was in Exile and in captivity
to be freed
because your sh you put yourself in this
prison through indulging in tiis so you
need to do something that's the the the
exact opposite in a positive way to
release yourself so just as you've made
tus your life give away what's your life
your money is your
life that's your life cuz you work so
hard have a great day we'll see tomorrow
beautiful very very beautiful
thought everyone tomorrow take care
byebye byebye take care
