Vyadata #4 - Faith shouldn't be wasted - You need Faith for the un-explainable - G-d the Force

okay so we're we're learning the mimer um the editor hayoim from the year tough race sadiq bays and um the rebbe has been talking about the importance of not just belief which is a munna but also the idea of judea for your daita to understand god and to understand hashem he gives us he he uses the verse as a guideline that's number one number two is number three number four so all of those ideas are aspects of of god and he's going slowly uh in explaining the different uh parts and within the main thing is hashem well kim and he taught us that hashem is the name that governs the supernatural aspects of the world and elohim is the aspect of nature as god as god is in nature and uh to know that kulekha it's all one desire also brought a an interesting um pieces are that i want to go back to on page 205 for a moment and just for the future when when i asked to to identify it's i want to teach you how to do that remember i asked avi i believe how to identify the meaning of this this aramaic so if you look under on 205 the fourth line avi in middle of the line um i want you to yeah do you see a very small verb it's very small now look beneath the the lines and in the footnotes the second set of footnotes yeah so that that's what i was looking that's so in other words you have to the verb over there refers to the verb and the text and it gives you the interpretation emotionally israel moshe said to israel until now i've had to teach you commercial london latino as we teach a child an infant etc the modity and what did i teach you ah whether i teach you until now laid out to know or they stockhill into gays with economies and to enter beside in the esoteric secret of faith and what that is that is what we just read in hebrew is a translation of from of the words in this on page 205 second line he quotes the zohar and says uh issa alma moshe said to the eden until now i've had to teach you the way you teach whether you is a child an infant voliphis and i taught you should know you should gaze for the mail you should enter in the in the in the secret esoteric area of heimnusa of faith uma and what is this secret of learning what faith in god is by understanding that ki hashem who elohim this tsar you only that the that the that we learned on 205 is the premise for the entire chapter and after the entire member and what is that that is god almighty and i'm sorry that moshe of being in it was instructed by hashem to teach us that hashem elohim so in other words we have a guy teaching us so we're not we're not alone we have a teacher teaching us that is teaching us in the mimer during this chapter that we we learned the rabbit talks about the importance of not just belief but actually seeing god you can't see god no human being can see god as it says in the trader right my face you shall not see what does rashi say that what did what you see the metaphorically speaking the knot on the back of the head of the twin it's all metaphors because what i mean god puts on film but it but it's very important metaphors and considers actually develops those ideas but not now so in other words what does it mean to see hashem the mimer says you should have explained to understand something so clearly and we had a good dialogue about that in our last year jonas and you remember uh that that to understand hashem so much that it's as though we see him the mind's eye should be so should be uh if you don't mind the vel will put on your mute please everyone you too so if you it that the mind's eye should be so strong in understanding hashem it's as though you see hashem that's that's that's that's that's that's what we've been learning to explain that that ebb has been given has been sharing ideas so now let's go around page 207 and um he brought an interesting muscle he brought a muscle for the gemara and bayer okay a piece of gemara it's on the third line of 207. let's go there come on the meaning as we learned in the gemara bear that foreign what's the difference between a chick that was hatched and yamcha to a a calf that was born from an animal that was trev which is kosher you're allowed to eat it off nevertheless he did not retract from his ruling if he this question this issue of a chick that was hatched in other words listen to this ruling that it's from what's forbidden wasn't coming just because he understood the intricacies of the and he ruled that it's forbidden it it surpassed that intellectual realm and he experienced it as though he saw what god says is the halal so therefore he was quiet in other words what do you mean he was quiet of ram it's not this is not something that we you can communicate on words it's beyond words it's an experience do you hear that it's like we say what's the word um there's a there's a word in english you know when you feel something is right you can't explain it but you know it's right what's that word i'm looking for if anyone remembers to tell me so so um that's the yes you understand yes intuition intuition thank you thank you excellent that's what i was looking for so intuition go go try to explain to someone intuition as soon as you try explaining it you've lost the intuition it's the longer intuition you see i i just wanted for a moment digress you know when we talk about um shawshak there are different times in the torah we have the idea of he kept quiet into him you must you're a big man at the hill but the monty silence so we look at it curse of cursory looking is it's a negative because we don't understand that we don't have what they answer we don't know what to say we keep quiet it's like i rather not discuss it you know it's just the opposite hearing about a very different experience it's not because you don't have what to say and you don't know the answer you know the answer so well that you don't there's no need to explain it it's it's intuition it's it's in front of your eyes so any type of words of ram would be detracting from the purity and essence and authenticity of the answer of the experience that's what the rapper says here we use a very important word from the word ms okay so here that ever uses in addition to the word intuition nisamus is nifal in hebrew language right you know niphon means the the issue becomes automatic nif out it's automatic it automatically happens paul means you have to do it nifal means by you're in the experience and you're taking for the ride and it happens automatically that you are you become so you understand this idea and then you supersede understanding that the issue is truth by you and truth is not debatable yes you're innocent thank you let's go bite them what a statement it's as though you actually see it with your physical flesh of the eye could you imagine avi seeing that that you're so clear this aloha it's as though you actually see that this is written you see god and god says a chick that's born on yamdev just as the seeing of the eye substantiates and confirms the truth of what you see um just as you see with your eye that something actually physically exists that ever says this makes it similar the my face mean it doesn't mean miracle here it means the the performance of seeing is equal to the performance of touching right when you touch something if you tangible you physically touch it seeing is is is comparable to actually touching something because you see it with your eye so it says so he says so to sing something it it substantiates and confirms confirms the truth of this existence of this entity that he sees and he has no doubt that its existence is absolutely real in other words although this cycle he didn't touch can you touch seiko can you touch intelligence with your hands absolutely not but here because he his his seeing it has gone to a level of intuition etc it it it confirms and substantiates that what he sees sees is as though he touches it you know i didn't touch the moon last night you ain't there's no moon i didn't touch the fire the sun this morning there's no sun it's ridiculous i look up up i see the sun i see the moon i say this is a fact it's amazing because the seeing with the eyes with the eyes confirms and substantiates the existence of the anita the thing that see this is the muscle now the moral and it came for you he said mccain so and even more so the seeing of seijo what does it do it it confirms that what i learned about learned about and studied and understood is 100 percent ms just as someone will say that the vitality the energy of my nephesh of my soul in my body the body doesn't live on its own and we know that because when we see a corpse when someone passes away rahman islam or lucia we see there's no highest and a day before there was highest there was breathing what's the difference the difference is there's an effort there for other me foreign that his body one's body isn't only flesh and and and and and sinews about zombies and bones physical ones and the highest the vitality the energy that the goof is alive comes from the spiritual soul this this idea one knows factually from actual seeing over hergish and he feels it over mishush in other words the fact that we are alive right now sitting and learning and breathing is not a faith issue it's a fact issue you could touch it you could feel it and you actually see it he brings the proof that i said earlier god forbid it says the fact that he doesn't understand he doesn't see he doesn't hear it's not only that it's not only the faculties don't work the engine doesn't work anymore kiem rather she is in other words there's there is the functioning of the faculties the eyes the the touching the mind of the heart and all that doesn't work when a person is no longer alive but but that ever says it's much deeper that faculty is not working there's no highest there's no energy anymore there's been a short between the electrical box and and then the fuse so the fuse is no longer cut the fuse is cut in cane if so we're on is 207 my towards the bottom of the page therefore when a person is alive what is this proof to us that the highest that the fact that you're alive is because you have highest now this is a very important point because we undervalue what highest is but just let's for a moment unfortunately we use this example when we're not feeling well boy do we wake up and say i have highest and my highest today is is messed up i'm not feeling well so highest is the key to to life that's the rebbe's point here before you talk about is my are my lungs working fine and my heart working fine my brain working fine the question is is there a disconnect between the the the electric um source and the fuse and that that help that puts the electricity into the house and if there's a disconnect i.e the highest is missing you're missing light you're missing heat etc that's what he says although you could argue wait a minute i never saw what spiritual spirituality of caius is i i don't i never tasted it i never touched it i never smelled it what is it if it is anybody did anyone ever see their soul physically absolutely not because it's it's beyond that had it nevertheless the fact that we are alive and breathing substantiates that there's highest here this idea that there's highest has become this amis we're really emphasizing here the word nisam is the the root of the word being emmaus the nifa again jonas has said the path the passive experience that happens automatically that we're alive i don't see it i don't smell it my soul but i'm here i'm talking i'm breathing having the psalmist that's leaning in somebody's safe will turn on to page 208 this substantiates the truth kitty eos a nebu it's the mind's eye velveo as though the mind's eye sees but we don't see the highest but it's so crystal clear to us that we see it that that it's as though we see it physically although we're seeing it with our mind's eye shayna naval base type of 208 says that ever on this experience by you don't call it faith this is not faith this is this is knowledge this is a fact that's his point here we got to make sure you understand this point because this is key to the minor the idea that we exist because we have a nephesh is not a muno it's it's a fact now if some of you are thinking that plato and aristotle and philosophies have have a different they disagree i'm not going there to reconcile i don't need to reconcile and it's been already discussed and if you're interested there are books on science and torah and they discuss how to reconcile it but the torah belief is that the soul is eternal plato didn't believe the soul is eternal i'm not sure he believed there was a soul in fact probably didn't believe there was a soul but even and and and the most that they believed is that there is some kind of force that's that's that sustains the body while you're alive and it leaves when you're when when you die and that it never was it was never an element of truth which it's heresy in the view of toyota that is not a terrible belief we believe tara believes that the nephesh is ms that's the point of the mimer so if the nephesh is ms in other words the nephesh is as truthful as the body i'm touching my hand i'm going like this i'm going like this i'm smelling i'm talking i'm laughing it's all real just as real is the life force the nephesh so if you're going to tell me you have to believe you have to have a muna that you have a nephesh that's that sustains your body says that's wrong this is not faith in other words don't waste faith on this concept faith you reserve for much deeper and ideas like ideas that transcend logic but this is a fact that's what he's saying this is a fact so just as it's a fact that there's a sun and a moon because you look at them and no one's gonna say wait a minute maybe there's no sun i'm looking at the sun no that's not a sun what is it i don't know what it is so the fact that you didn't go to the sun and you didn't study about the sun means there's no sun that's absurd that's not rational it says and the same with the moon and same with the stars we've never gone to to mars i mean all of us here right we're not like these uh 90 year old billionaires who are spending money for 10 minutes to fly up in a rocket to hit mars so they can say they can say at their funeral their family will say they're so special they went to to to to space put that as an epithet on the on the uh on the marker if they'll if if they'll experience that if they won't be cremated you know we believe that just as there's a sun and a moon there's a nephesh and the nephesh is the eaker of other let me just continue and finish the paragraph let's try it's singing just as we said before regarding the soul animating the body it's an intellect that that the intellectual understanding of the idea is similar to actual seeing it so too the godly energy that enlivens the world yes x kneeler from nothing to something it's through the understanding the seeing of seiko um and it's like actually touching it here the rabbit spells it out moses so clearly it's not possible right what's the difference i've run between it's not this way or it's not possible not saying it's not this way means right now it's not this way but it's possible it could be this way when you say it means it can never be this way it's not in the realm of possibility that what that that a the creation should be bereft of a creator and that the creation doesn't have chaos if we have a creation we have a world we have highest who doesn't because the this idea that the world exists is felt venera and it's observed by us with the seeing of the physical of the physical eyes so the question is where does faith play a role in a person's avoider says that every faith plays a role in something that is impossible to know whatsoever so what we understand from this is the idea that god enlivens the world that sustains the world is is your dear is knowledge not in munna why don't we have a munifier for things that are transcend knowledge or combine that as it says the less marshava twisted there is no makshava there is no thought that can grasp you what part of you the essence of god that we have no understanding of that's true in the transcendence of god we don't understand but in that aspect of god that deals with with with with enlivening the world etc that we don't we don't need a moon or that's the ear ago need for supervisor the libra and what can we not have um in in in the essence theresa and tweezer what can't we grab in the essence of god but everything else can be grasped berusa de lieber through the will of the heart but i know that hashem needs of all love this is what it says in tanya chapter one which the rebel wanted us to memorize and i've discussed it with you and encourage you again to memorize the first twelve lines of tanja chapter 20 41 and to think of it every morning before you're davening whether you remember actual the words or the concepts that says there towards the end of those twelve lines hashem needs of allah god stands upon man the whole making wherever you are marshall was in chicago god's with him there he's on the plane on delta he's with him there we're going out he's going out tomorrow to teach people to how to protect himself god's there hashem standing there i don't mean god's there just you know god's all over now obvi he's with you right as you're taking picking up the gun and showing someone how to shoot a gun right there is with you he's actually participating with you and shooting the gun god god's doing our families of all of over call markham shahoo valve was over there with the the helping eden helping people with the with health and the hospital in his office hashem was there so when you called felipe in every prayer and in every study of tata god's there could you imagine what you're young you're sitting down you're opening a safer on your own wherever it is hashem is right there he's like over your shoulder he says hey yanny keep your eyes to the text he's right there havaya email the kabul to philosopher and because hashem is right there he hears and he accepts the prayer of all mouths of everyone when you dive into hashem hashem hears it and he accepts it and he puts it into the right place and at the right time there will be a response the see this idea that god hears my prayer prayers and that hashem is with me every time i learn for this you need a munda this you can't prove this is where you need a munna but to say that i'm alive and that there's a force in the world you know remember i told you that i was walking with that walking home at khabar of berkeley brooklyn california and that the rabbi rabbi ferris the schliak invited some students and i was walking home and a student that i say to the students so i throw out that big question you know it's berkeley berserkly so you believe in god you believe in god no way that's a that's a dirty word remember yeshiva we can say don't say the dirty word there once was three fishermen there once was three fishermen fisher fisher fishermen fisher fisher fishermen once was three fishermen they all went down to amsterdam you mustn't say the dirty word you mustn't say the dirty word dirty dirty dirty word dirty dirty i'm gonna say it anyway any any anyway any onion i'm gonna say it anyway they all went down to amsterdam they so a dirty word she says to me this college student you know the radical the berkeley radical don't say that dirty word god i say okay okay okay i'm not gonna i don't i don't want to cause you a heart attack on the on the street we gotta get to the rabbi's house to have some chunks and some kishka so i say look i'll ask you another question for sure but don't say a dirty word so she says do you believe in a force a force sure i believe in a force this is a story for the books it happened with me on the streets i'm wearing avenue 25 years ago who knows how long ago of course i believe it but don't say god you understand we don't need a munna to know that there's a god in the world call it a forest called energy you know it's like we'll have the all these you know the gender issues today there he she misses but it cut it out just cut this nonsense you want to have separate bathrooms make separate bathrooms but don't anyway you know like the world is really cool now you can get arrested if you don't have separate bathrooms and if and if you say the wrong words on and on so that ever says here i don't want to go on this topic that ever says the mundo shouldn't be wasted on something that's a fact what do i need a moon for to believe that god hears my prayers oh for that we really need a munna because sometimes we say are you really listening hashem are you really listening why i don't i need pranos i need better health i need i my family needs what come on i dab and i learn i give to dhaka i help people so here is where munna is so important i think the the message is clear i have to go to another share now so i just wish everyone a good day and we'll see everyone tomorrow nice to have you back alicia welcome back you brought back some memories today that's my job to bring back memories cause we gotta live with those i'm young i feel so young that's right stay young take care guys thank you have a great day
