Vandalism in Chabad has no place: Alter Rebbe suggests Torah, Rebbe & Truth - Rabbi Chaim Dalfin

okay so we're learning T meim chapter 43 we're on page 122 the AL introduced to us finally the concept of meaning aernal upper higher level of of all but not in the sense of it's more of the same type of that we spoke that we talk about meaning basic and basic fear of God and basic respect and all of that but rather it's an entire different category and uh I point out to you that the AL uses the words for it's the middle of page 122 he says so he says two things it's it's awe it's fear coming from an embarrassment from a from a busha before God that you feel embarrassed before God and he also calls this same type of or inner so this is where we're at what does it mean a so let's continue it's about 10 11 lines from the beginning of the chapter this year comes not from analyzing the way God creates the world and the world is an existence and from the world's perspective as an existence we play back to God but rather this comes from what he calls here what does it mean the inside of godliness within the worlds I mean this needs clarification what does this mean so he's going to tell us what it means very shortly and we're going to read it inside and then we'll talk it out let's look inside and it's about this level of inner godliness within the worlds that this is the second part of the mission which level the feels and and positions which level of we talking about that that requires as a prerequisite for the level of that preed and what is that he continues what is the is comprised of two words and two ideas the power the the ability of ma of potential ma ma what is this the potential there's something here I don't know what it is yet is an aspect of relating to God in a way that I don't know what God is yet but I know there is a God and I'm trying to figure out what is this God and he brings the the literal meaning how will you find but the way is explaining is the me is the conjunction you want to have you should know it comes from the position of from the idea of of nothingness you shall find in other words when when we read the what does it mean it's a question how can you come to how can you understand God's it's a dilemma over here and elsewhere explains it not as a question but rather as a statement [Music] if you want to explore and you want to find that that that Consciousness that reality may you will find it in in nothingness in bit in total subservience and even more as we explained yesterday in non-existence in the Consciousness that the world is so nullified to God to the point of non-existence that which is I in then there you'll find that's so we said many times when we learned the in the T that what's difference between beina is the way I understand the way the the issue is understood by the outside force the brain the person the issue HMA is the way the issue is is in included in the in in the understander but the understander is not there's no understanding there it's it's a the ability of to to to understand there's a term I don't know if he came across it that term is actually Co is brought in the ranous in the beginning and means the of existence how it is in potentia it's called the Uli so in a similar way it's not exactly identical but in a similar way this is the idea of says he quotes another another who is considered wise someone who sees the future P what does that mean this sub what does it mean in other words again what's the what's the simp meaning of the if you could see what the future is going to be and you can give yourself and others advice hey make this investment don't make this investment do this don't do this CU I I can see what's coming I understand what's coming therefore you're says let's see how he explains it says is not referring to the Future it's referring to the present the person sees now every item every issue how it was created how was explained it created EXO with the word of God and the spirit of God mouth so this is a beautiful interpretation you know why this person is a because he sees the future because he understands it now he understands its significance now and because of that he knows the future he understands that it's existence is not existence so when you understand that existence and non-existence so you don't look at the issue and the item as it presents itself now in in in in in in with all of the dilemas and obstacles and you you you you have a view of it in a deeper way right now and because you understand now much deeper IE and I don't mean deeper just intellectually you understand as he says here that all of existence is non-existence and you identify with that so therefore the N the future is really a reflection of what's happening now so this is not the P this is not the simple meaning of this this is the D's interpretation but it it corresponds to what he's saying over here and it's it's not a contradiction to the to to the general information but going back to his point what's his point his point is that this this Consciousness is the is the prerequisite for what if you don't have this as your reality you can forget about experiencing y now why we need to experience y maybe we'll talk about that later later I didn't tell you why in other words why is it important for the ban for the average person is to have this level of I'm thinking about this a lot the last few days like why is making and he makes such a point of it it's not um compared to two chapters and before and many chapters after it's not a lot of lot of verbiage it's not a lot of space it takes but but in concept it's a lot of it's a big issue and so so I want to say two things one thing is that the reason why he doesn't spend so much verbage is because it's not relevant to most of us so that's why he spends maybe 12 10 10 12 lines Z because the the the the bany struggles with if a if a person can get to he's already a great man that's number one but on the other hand he does incorporate it in so when you see an in the first in the first part which is called that means everything that's in the first 53 chapters is relevant to the bangy so you have to ask yourself that question how is this relevant to me so another explanation is to this in order to not if you want to reach the top and you know the top is way above you but the middle is more on your level in order to reach the middle you got to think about the top so then maybe you'll reach the middle if you don't think about the top you only think about the middle you're not reaching the middle you're going to reach below the middle so that possibly this is an explanation why we we we talk about this law this this this Consciousness that's really beyond the average person to tell us that a if if you work hard enough and you and you exert yourself with all these Reflections and meditations you could experience this Consciousness and B in order for us to be potential banm and average people and and doing what we need to we need to look for the top and this is an overall idea in you know where the the AL the you know teach things that are are so are so in a way above us you know it's not like in our reality and and and this is the question that we always asked in Yesa and when we started to learn when we were teenagers is why are we learning about these things and the answer is because when you swim in the ocean of godliness then when you come to the dry land and you you you come back from the from the ocean you you you'll be on a higher Plateau whoever you are whereas if you if you don't swim in that ocean and you just swim in the ocean of mediocracy the best you'll get is mediocracy and probably and usually less than mediocracy so in order to accomplish mediocracy you need to go For Broke and and this is a very important l lesson life so it's indirect from what we're learning here I'm going with Tangent for a moment but that's the point so that's why we're learning about let's continue now so we're here on page 122 towards the bottom of page now [Music] says with six lines from the bottom and not withstanding the fact that Hashem creates the world through his word in a way of EX nevertheless the heavens and the Earth and all of its host completely n nullified in their existence you see the word it doesn't say it says their entire their entire entity is B in the word of God and the spirit of his mouth and it's as though they don't exist am and it's not in actuality like the Nullification of the ray of the light and Ray of the Sun be in the ball of the actual F son okay here it's very brief I think some of you told me you were you learn or learning the second section of T over there is he spends a lot of time on this concept so I'm just going to say it briefly but briefly he compares the existence to the ray of the Sun in the sun itself on one hand does the it does the ray of the sun exist in the sun it doesn't exist in its outer form because the ball of the sun is so much more powerful but the concept exists and the proof is that the sun wants there to be a ray of the Sun and that's why when the ray of the sun leaves the sun ball its source it gives us it shines it helps the it helps the world that means that even while the ray of the sun is in the sun it's important to the Sun and as soon as you say it's important to the sun that's its existence its existence is not this is this is the of the one of the is not in the way it manifests itself thees is the what it is and because it is what it is which is the ray of the sun and the sun wanting there to be of a ray of a sun that makes the manifestation important and Powerful so in other words if we would argue that the ray of the Sun in the sun ball is nothing and has no importance it would never be able to do its manifestation shine illuminate the world the only way it's able to illuminate is with the of the Sun so the sun has to make place for the ray of the Sun in itself and this is an amazing thing it's an oxymoron How can there be a place within the Sun for the r the sun if it's overshadowed by overwhelmed by the sun is there you like philosophy did you understand what I said now or not so what's the point the point is there is an importance to the ray of the sun within the sun the sun itself however there it's not felt because of the overwhelming Sun as soon as the sun says go out go into the world boom it does its job not because of itself because of its source the Sun what is this is now why does to this over here because he's saying the same thing is with the B of of of of of this idea the Consciousness here is on one hand you're it's nothing it's all absorbed and on the other hand it's everything this this addresses what some one one of you asked me yesterday you know how can how can you exist and not and non-exist at the same time I think someone spoke about that yesterday and the answer is in in reality in actuality you can't but in concept you can and concept establishes the emis the truth of the issue it's not the manifestation on the ground that that that's what the iar is no the iar is in the source I'll take another example the way we're educated the way we're raised the the way the the parents we come from that's who we are everything we do after and even we make major shifts in our psyche and our being and everything else in our Behavior nevertheless there is that DNA of a parent that goes along with you the entire life and if that DNA from a parent didn't give a the ability to to to be who you are you'll never be who you are that's why it says is a famous that explains nicer ya nicer is the power of the child than the than the parent now we interpret that to mean like oh I wish my my kids would be not better than I am I wish they'd be nicer than I am which parent in their right mind doesn't wish that for their child right explains that you know you know how that that's even possible do you know how it's possible for this child to be nicer than the [Music] parent that itself excuse me that itself comes from the P from the father from the parents the parents give something to the child that has the ability for them to be nicer than themselves that's a phenomenal thought in other words the parents themselves are not as good not as nice right but they have within themselves potential to be nicer and that itself is communicated in the in the DNA in the creation of the children that they create so I'm just thinking of that I don't know if it's a good muscle as part of another muscle to explain what we're saying over here that when we talk about uh uh coming to a place of consciousness of re that we sense that everything is God versus our discussion yesterday right that itself is part of God's plan that itself is part of parents plan when parents you know procreate to have a child the unwritten words is we have something that we didn't kind of yet manifest but we know we have it and we hope that this result will be that this child will live it and manifest it the sun says the same thing I want to reach everyone in the world through my shine through the Sun but for whatever reason I'm overwhelming I can't get to them whatever the case right so the son says I'm going to create something within myself that if done right it will be able to do the job I the ray of the Sun and this is what we're learning over here doesn't say all this but this is based on what I heard from my teacher basically the concept over here and now says you might argue that this is true generally speaking but what about for me individually M living a Bish and everything else what does it have to do with me I have to go to my gallery and to create art and and and and and and show it and sell it and then use the money for good things what does it have to do with me says the Alm a person should never exclude thems from the the cloud cloud means the community for a person's body his soul and his spirit and his soul again four things are nullified in the word of God in the word of God God's word I'm sorry and God's word let there be light let there be a person on and on is joined and United with God's thought says I've explained this to you already at length in 20 21 the utter non-existence of one word compared to the power of speech in the soul and the power of spech speech in comparison to the power of thought I don't want to repeat it doesn't repeat it so I'm surely not going to repeat it but now on top of P this is what he says take for example a person that one word of a person's one word a person's one thought are considered like nothing comparison to the power of speech concludes this is the meaning of the verse hang I'm sorry not the verse the hang no this is a verse sorry the fear of God I mean this this verse needs clarification what do you mean is not is wisdom right is fear a but the POS says behold says the based on what we learned now that this is a reference to Y in other words if it's the lower level of Behavioral mode is not but to experience you must have you must come to a position of total nullification not only of the yeses of the ego but nullification of the existence of your own existence that's how powerful that's how important it is to cause this level of B and when you do then you're a vessel forem then you exude hasem on the highest level of of however says should know it's impossible to come to this level he goes right back you'll never find out going into voodo land Dreamland uh suula land land you know you would think that after such a deep discussion what does he tell you to do he tells you go to a mountain somewhere and meditate take your shoes off like someone told me once from that the cabala center I think I told you this once I when I was living in La it told me these misas that they told us these misas that we made were while the suur um had his feet sunk immersed in a Mikvah he wrote he wrote it Som while his feet were immersed in a Mikvah that's how holy these misas are now you understand a the Mish and B the violation okay okay so is not into these M and any level of migas he's telling you you want to get this y you want to have a chance to identify with this Consciousness it only comes Ella the word Ella means only if just deal with the bottom line of following and and listening and having that behavior of through doing what you're supposed to even though compared to the higher level it's external and superficial but that's the ground rules you can't go go and to to second base before you hit first base yeah you can if you hit a home run but even if you had a home run you got to touch the first base right y if you how many times the sports where they miss a base and they call him out and he's and the guy's jubilant he's on third he hadit a triple and the and and and and the and the Empire says out why am I out you didn't touch the base you got to touch first base second base Third Base then you go home okay says we have a system here it's called okay it's such an important thing because all of these isms of the past and all of the mishas today okay including the mishas of last night that I told you I wouldn't talk about right all of that it's not K mitz you you can have the greatest passion I and I can understand you have passion the reans 770 and I I I I I understand but there there's a r there's rabbis there's a way of there's a way of a system okay and for one to say I am a pin I am a zealot and I get up and I and I kill and all that who made you a zealot your ego made you a zealot when when when God will say that you're a Pinas I have no problem but you're no Pinas okay or you are is a troubled young man or a passionate young man and and and young people are passionate as we all know from our teen days and and you know the radicals of the 60s and 70s you know and burning down and breaking and destroying and all that but that's not that's not so if one after and and and and knowing the AL what kind of ye he was he was he was with God he he was a godly man if anyone he should say over here you want to get to go go and fast for 35 days or 40 days until you almost die and then you experience God he doesn't say this mishas it's like the person said I fasted for 40 days and I was was told as a Caba a tradition that if you fast for 40 days you'll have Gile he said so what's the answer the answer is your fasting 40 days was for your own ego when we talk about someone who fasted for 40 days in gilo we're talking about someone who didn't do it to get g y he didn't because he was serving God and he in his way he was fasting so God happened to reward him with with with gilo but not he put on the clock and or he said now I need to fast for 40 days the regimen of the diet regimen is now don't eat for 40 days the New Jersey diet and if you do this you follow this you're going to lose the weight it's a different but but and tell is not that way so that's why I just wanted to say concludes this part and here concludes and we'll stop over here here concludes the section that the AL deals with with the two levels of Y in particular and and tomorrow at this part of the chapter he goes into AA and get ready get yourself get yourself ready cuz he's going to really take us into the heavens if you want to ride with the alter to the heavens from tomorrow for the next six chapters it's going to talk about love and what AA is and levels and experiences and feelings and ideas it's um a fascinating ride have a great day everyone we'll see you tomorrow with Shalom byebye take care
