Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Sec. 2 Chap. 4 "G-D's concealment allows us to exist"

welcome to Ty's Tania class we are in the second section of Tania Cheryl coder Muno we're holding the chapter for now if you recall from last week we finished off tab chapter three with the famous question now the author of asks that since God is everything it's called Chara even the gate the entryway to the e for the oneness of God the moon and the faith and that so since God is everything the only real existence is God and the question is welcome welcome and the question is how come we consider egg cells and if we exist if everything is God it's all about God God is everything so how can we exist that's the author of this question last week I'm sure you guys look a little tired because you didn't sleep a whole week because that's something which is really really bought who slept the holy this week well how many nights sleep did you lose this week and everyone looks a little tired right you're tired you're exhausted you up a home like what is the thing if God really is everything so how do I really Who am I if it's really got why am i late exactly right I was bothering your whole week and let me tell you is bothering me too but so the author in this week in chapter 4 is going to address that issue and again it's a deep issue I'll give you in short and then we're going to take the long version in shorter the algebra says is that God's concealment allows us to think that we exist so the truth is everything is God so if everything of God and we don't exist and so then the question was a can we think we exist so the altar is revolutionary idea in chapter 4 and sorry is doing is that the only reason why we think and I'm underlining the word we think because the reality is do we really exist there's no I everything is God we really don't exist so the question is how can we say I and him and her and we went here and went vir what here there it's all God the answer is could God concealed so because God concealed therefore we think that we exist we've the theatre she exists this is the that exists there's a philosopher I think in his premises I think therefore I am correct okay so that's the short version of it but now let's see with Alto Rasmus a the author begins and he says he quotes the verse that says quiche ms mulling how summer look in the sauna and the shield is a sin you keep off k the infinite name of God and they located a fine name of God what does that mean and the author explains as follows what is vague DF send us some s is the Sun now the Sun that we have down here we don't the Sun we have the rate of the Sun if we took we have to take sit outside during the day we live in Florida right and the sun is shining is a good analogy Pop's we can relate to it sit outside outside midday 12 o'clock without any suntan lotion or anything in the Sun what happens after 30 minutes your birth after an hour emergency room it's very sleepy became too literally from different parts of the world and they sat outside they didn't know what it's fly they didn't flower with the Sun and hope they sit outside and they sat outside during the day and they ended up but we have to take them few people to emerging on the surface layer yourself and there's only a range of Sun so can you imagine I took you on a jet up to the heaven where the Sun is and we got exposed to the Sun not it's not a pretty picture maybe for the moment it feels good and it looks good but after a you start feeling right you finished why can the power of the Sun is extremely powerful now the Sun even though we have the Sun the Sun is not full is the Sun is not full full value welcome welcome we were waiting for you it's okay so Jane Lane soft eerie talking left it's perfect timing come have a seat we're talking like the Sun I'm happy me I'm happy amazing okay so we'll recap real quick we're answering the question the author restarted last week was if everything is God how can we exist and the observation shortly said was that God's Canfield in God's concealment allow the things we this and we saw I've explained the analogy doubt though it is based on a versus s ki shemish Remagen assemble again at the Sun and the field is the name of God which is the infinite name of God you came up K and the finding of God which is located okay so back that idea so some s the Sun the way it is if it had epic you able to if God released the sun's full power guess what not only would we burn the whole world would burn so with the Sun that God created which is the so much extreme power as tremendous power God created a shield and the shield blocks the Sun from giving its full power so by blocking the Sun full power therefore we able to enjoy the Sun like for example if you're living in a house and let's see living a flower which we can relate to and you have a full you know wall of window windows you have no UV protection on the windows you have no window shades up gets locked that has to be very very hot possibly unbearable to live in so in order to enjoy the Sun you need a protection so the protection allows you to enjoy the Sun and matter of fact the more of a protection you have the more you can enjoy the Sun think about that not protected who wants the Sun protected and you can enjoy the Sun so the only way you can actually appreciate and enjoy the Sun is only after and while it is being covered by this not by the protection by the shield okay now let's take the same idea with God's name you cave of K the infant name of God we call a valium because you don't pronounce the name and an email okay what is the name your cave of K which is again God's powerful name it actually comes from two words one is used the letter user and the second part is however however if you listen to it hasn't the name of Mohammed to create so holder is create now with your when you have the you'd before a word yeah the word is funnier to create when you have a good before the word is that it's constantly happening so you K vodka means that God is constantly and consistently creating the world the world again your disconsolate consistent however is creation so U K but K means God is constantly consistently creating the world so the fact the world was here right now is why because God created it and it's constantly and consistently creating the world now since youth cave of K is the infant name of God if God would create the world and constantly and consistently recreate the world and there was nothing blocking that creation and that consistent creation the only thing that you would see and feel would need me you would all be God because the infinite power of God is so powerful so therefore the verse says that when God created and creates the world Hashem awoken it just came up K which is the infinite power of creation but at the same time there's a lock-in which basically Al Kim consort of judgment and judgment means stop here too much here too much dear etc it tones down the creation it tones it down so therefore youth cave of K is creating giving more friendly energy to create and Al okay create a symptom create the contraction of light and that allows the creation to exist in a materialistic finite level otherwise it would be like the feminists to some without the field that we would be totally burnt up so good because God doesn't want to see burnt up he created a shield so the signals because God wants us finite physical human beings to live in this materialistic world God created the name elokim which basically means it tones down God's creation okay we're going to go further to explain this so somewhere we have the analogy of the Sun and the shield we have the words a Seminole Kim and then we go further we know that God not only has the names of God but God also has the spirit and the actual roots we call God so for example we praise God it says okay Oh God hah Godzilla back Bieber what does God dole mean the little translation means what God dole means great great or bigger and Gabbar is what is strong now let's talk about one at a time what is God Allah means ghazal means something that's great what is great means the author explains great means very simple when someone does Shepard when someone gives and when someone is veer for somebody else that is what it's a great thing so if you want to be big give V Aisha - Aisha cocido do do kindness and then you'll be a big person and think about it if you're the givers you're the big person you have what to give and everybody has what they give a dromio we said everybody can teach so once I don't know tal know everything you know now love the teach the olive you know they teach the veins everybody knows something this would be an example being example but the point is that when you are teaching when you are giving again it can be emotions it can be moral support that could be for file could be financial can be spiritual but when you are in the giving position when doing then you're a big person so you're not big when you're the receiver you're big when you're the giver so what made God big I mean God's big what defines God's greatness his goggle part that he was a husband that he gave what he gave he gave of herself he created a world he created space so the world could exist Godzilla's expansion has forgotten you know you have your world right now why don't you do Hazzard now also new expanded your world the more you do now your world becomes more expansive in other words as you create as you do Safin as you expand that demonstrates how great you are the greater you are the more you're going to do you're able to do it the more you actually do let's look about the biggest thing that God did well I mean who are we to measure but wait for glow we see things what's the greatest thing that God did well he made man you made the world in other words let's package it up into one thing he created it he created something whether it's ran the world from nothing from nothing in other words when someone goes ahead in this case is God we create something from something it's also a great thing that's a big thing but when God went ahead and created something a thing which is again it could be a person it could be a place it could be whatever it is and he created that thing from nothing that is a true sign of God's greatness the sign of someone's greatness is what when they share when they create when they do that when and that's how you become a God or in other words simple English free flowing energy the more energy is flowing from you the greater you are you say hey how can I help you guess what now you became a great person and when you actually help a person oh my gosh are you really a great person now let's look and the biggest thing we said God did that represents the idea that God is good or great he creates something nothing if I say to anyone here explain to me how you create something from nothing please could you explain me how you do it no we can't why because we're not God exactly exactly exactly he's dead you're not just like crumbs on top another one side so we cannot comprehend we cannot comprehend the way God create something from nothing why very simple because we're finite we're finite we can comprehend things that we can do we can talk about see hear feel something that we can't do how can we talk about it how can we explain it okay so one thing we already know about God he's as great God what can he do he can create something from nothing now we all agreed already we can't explain it it doesn't mean bad and good about us it just means it's beyond our comprehension it means God's a few stuff a few only a few right a few steps ahead of us infantry step as be honest infinite step ahead of us God is infinite steps ahead of us and never we cannot comprehend things that he can do so god is great God no what does it mean God all he's great he can create something from nothing and we cannot explain how he does it it's not the end the world we can't explain where humans were finite but we do know God is great because God can create and he does create something from nothing how it works I have no idea we don't know okay let's look at the second attribute so the first attribute which is good old we know what it is and we don't understand it but we know what it is obvious we have a words that we can articulate and somehow explain it let's look at the second attribute God is debugger what is Guilbert so keeper is totally different than good ol God all is exploding energy sharing energy creating giving right that's the goggle G bar is already strength strong what does give our G bar is the ability to say no say no to stop the flowing of energy get no judgments not bad and good but giver is the power to say no and have the power to stop the flow of energy now so when God created the world something from nothing if there was no keyboard there it was just good ol you know what happened it would be totally totally overwhelming for us because the light would be free-flowing and it's like sitting underneath a dam of water that's glossing down it would just wash you away so powerful so there has to be something to stop the flow of energy what stops the flow of energy the attribute of what keyboard strength the action of strength faster flow of energy now this that God stops the flow of energy that goes me action envelope him and that creates what finite human beings meaning to say is like this from the attribute of God all what is the real energy that exists in the world what is the energy that creates the world and maintains the world is the energy of God which is infinite from that perspective the only real existence in the world is what is God comes along dog and God says I'm going to practice keyboard I'm going to stop the flowing of energy doesn't mean that God stops to give God tests and we don't we disappear and if God stopped stuff we got shut off the flow of energy are we going to be here not going to be here we're not going to be here so what is D bar dude give or create a concealment then we look at the physical human beings and the physical things we don't see the infinite paragraph which is there created and creating the world but it creates almost like a mirror or a veneer that we cannot see what's going behind us behind the scenes a veil we can surveil we cannot see the infinite flow of energy and almost every time saying it's a mirror because when you look what do you see you see yourself you see yourself it's a type where you see other people too you see other things you tables chairs etc so now let's get let's get the straight from the infinite energy of God of obsesses creation family for nothing which comes from God all this comes from this cave of K what what is the energy of creating and maintaining the world an infinite energy and that does not stop but what God created with the attribute of Gabbar is that will we look what do we see a mirror we see ourselves which the other people with tables chairs we see finite limitations we see thing people and things that we fear that we think they have real power we think that we have real power it's a it's a smoke and mirror that God created through the attribute of ghee burner now so let's get the straight what is ultimately the real power in the world the infinite part of God what do we see unfortunately or maybe fortunately because we're not you know might be too much for overwhelming for us but irrelevant we're not going to create a judgement to it what do we see we see finite human beings things places etc now what we sit before the infinite part of God when God creates something for nothing comprehend that no let's look at this issue now right now God the infinite part of God is creating everything God's made it so that what do we see materialistic physical finite things but the reality is what is the energy it's independent so how can we see finite and if we see finite why we saying that's really infinite it could slip right but the answer is very simple what we see before could we comprehend something from nothing No so the author says just like we cannot comprehend something for nothing we could not comprehend the concept that the infinite light is standing right behind the wall and we see the wall we can't comprehend it it doesn't make sense but if it's infinite appears right through and if it's not piercing right through why you think it's infinite because we have this strength what do we have you know what I mean again the question is very simple if it's infinite why isn't peer-to-peer school why don't we seen the infinite light if it's fine if it's not piercing through so why we say why we say if it's not piercing through so why we saying it's infinite and the answer because God definitely cannot comprehend something for nothing which is the attribute of avocado we cannot comprehend the way God created a concealment that's only a veneer for our eyes to feel it's concealment but the truth is beyond that concealing what is really the energy another like this so if you look at the world if you're able to look beyond the veneer what is really created and creates every single second the world the infinite shine of God but what have we see finite things why could God created some kind of a through the answer of gebe or you create some kind of vidya that we see finer things yet that doesn't make sense and the answer yours it doesn't make sense and you know it I will never comprehend it because we are finite and we're not going to comprehend it so in other words based on this what is the answer we're explaining what was the question before if everything is God the then how come we've this and the answer is everything is God you know what you exist because God this infinite God created through shame elokim so the attributes of keyboard guru he created a shield that's unique shield that the truth is the power the infinite powers right there and that is the real truth and then of the real energy that causes things to be created and to maintain its creation however we see finite how it works we don't know how it works we do know that God has the power to create such a concept which doesn't make sense to us because we're finite so in other words you have an answer in short how come we are still in existence if the infinite light is there and everything is God and the answer is what because God created a concealment which creates an illusion to think that we exist so the reality is do we exist as only exist you reality only the reality we don't exist the illusion that we exist is because of God's concealment now think about this if you really spend time thinking about this every single day many times you want throughout the day what's going to happen with your level of fear or level of peace or level of joy you're not going to have to be afraid of anybody because you know the real power that exists in the world was what was only God how you gonna feel in sitting in God's world peaceful happy sinner so this chapter is a powerful chance that the Alpha is not finished he this part finished the formal part of the chapter here down to the starts a bracket which we're going to study and he goes a step further and he says like this till now what he's what the author explained he used the analogy of the Sun and the shield the same infinite name of God you keep of K and same elokim and the third party uses the idea of the Godwin given here Delta goes to Stepford me Salinas that this idea that we're calling the seal recalling Samuel okay I'm calling the giver he is a new term for it I mean new to explain it one of the term of user says the idea the term is like a Kaley like a vessel versus the Sunnis are saying it's cave of Cain goggles like the light in other words the infinite light is a light but we're talking the focus of this champ is more talking at the concealment part if you can feel the part the name of the concealment is called Kaylie vessel so the question the Rebbe asked what is Delta red adding here we already know that there's a shield we know similar killed concealment you know givers concealment what another introducing the idea mentioning idea of it's a K liter vessel and the Rebbe explains I've ever trying to teach us something very very important because you think of a thermos will see the sun shining and you put a shield right so what is the she'll do the shield blocks the Sun and because of blocks the Sun so it's not as strong and therefore you can benefit more from the Sun so think about the seal there's a seal serve any purpose if you look just use ero on the shield oh my god filled with blocking so what's your attitude towards the seal oh my god it's blocking the light so it's for your benefit but it's blocking the light shame little Kim it's not allowing God's energy to flow keyboard strong not allowing the flow caused enough forces no let's take it a step further it's not don't think of it like it's blocking think of it like a vessel if you want a vessel let's say an eight ounce cup so an eight ounce cup is not a four ounce it's more and some a 16 or 20 or hundred ounce cup it's an eight ounce cup so an eight ounce cup is allowing you to go over to our huge fountain of water put an eight eight ounces and enjoy it so if you looked at the eight ounce cup you look at it like it's blocking the flow from this huge barrel of water no you look at it because a vessel that allows you to take eight ounces you enjoy it and when you finishing you want more you can rotate or so the office is the same way you have to look at the idea that God blocks the light the mugging or say little Kim that constrains the light or the idea of giver it constrains it don't look at its blocking and if it's not allowing the flow on the contrary it's a vessel that allows us to enjoy what's in the cup in a finite way and then if we need we can have more that's the parent way to look at this concealment this idea that truth is everything is infinite but God created concealment that we should think it's me you him etc her and the table the cheers that the purpose of it is to create a useful vessel that we can enjoy the materialistic and physical world and the company of other human beings otherwise you're going to sit down a guard god right what kind of conversation is that we're going to go with that but God civilly made it so we should have a vessel and we should have a way to communicate and contain and understand and appreciate one another and here Delta goes on to a Kabbalistic journey to show you that not only the vessels what's the source that the vessels are limiting because the source of the vessels are from these letters because if you think about it when a person wants to talk look if you want to be liberties alright so c'mon stop right especially certainly to love talking correct what slit what limits you talk you have to use words words are made up of the letters there's only a certain amount of letters and words you can say every single given in a second minute etc so if you didn't have the limitation of words right it would like be free-flowing we don't want that what you're talking about so in order for you to share something meaningful you have to stop that intense flow from your mind yes oh my gosh let me break it down until words into a sentence something people can appreciate etc so our words slowing you down absolutely think about the sports that we have right it's impossible to share all your thoughts in speech the same the same speed thoughts are flying but whatever you have these tremendous ideas and thoughts you don't stop seeing meditate articulate who's gonna be able to benefit from your thoughts anybody know so in order for someone to benefit from your intense thoughts and your great thoughts important the thoughts you've got to stop the flow of traffic in the mind and you got to articulate it you got to explain it slowly clearly and then guess what people are the same so how do you look at words limiting or useful and the answer they're both absolutely they're limiting but the limiting part makes it useful now you can look at it it's strictly limiting that's not true it is limiting to agreed but the face limiting and doesn't allow you to express yourself that's not correct on the country words have the power and letters have the power to let you express yourself so letters and words are a vessel and in other words the Kayle a vessel is the service is from words I never goes even deeper take the idea of letters and words right so what we said before letters and words slowed down the process and your thoughts and make vessels that you can enjoy and appreciate so the other is we're the vessels get its limitation limit limit limiting quality from so we know how many letters are they in the alphabet very good there's 22 letters starting with Al appending himself however there are five final letters what does that mean olive Bay's give up this 22 letters but there are five final letters what does that mean the mem letter mem there's a regular man and it's a mental feet none there's a regular none and none Sophie I see you guys at learning Hebrew and the lush Nicole this right here you know then is a time sonic and the sonic so feet and a pay in a peso fees and a half and a half so feet five letters men learned Sabich pays off we created a full thing to it called months apart these five letters have n letters what's that why they have to have n letters the rhythm without end letters will you stop so the end letter show you is a stop now not every letter it's not a hope this customer has an end letter but the purpose of an end letter is that it shows you where to stop so you're reading a word let's see Shalom Shalom involved and if you had a regular man how you know to stop you continue going so if you have because you have an end them you know to stop there and take the other five every time you have an end letter you know to stop there so in other words so that letters in general create a flow of traffic create a limiting limiting your thoughts into letters where is the source that it creates limitation it comes from what the five letters monster park now everything yes the everything goes in a deeper what's the source that monster park create limitations and Satan creates labs so the optimal uses are we give us a reference to the Kabbalistic source we're where it creates that stop and he calls it booty no Bacardi Nissan which is Devorah a law high level of restraint high level of power the attic joining them because you know Africa's on the highest fearo's and inlet level this idea of gory law of apogee omen and because of in the source it's guru and then going backwards goes into - apocalypse five n letters the regular letters the vessels and so on and so forth but ultimately everything goes back to the source in the Sphero the highest fear of after gilman over there in the level of Laura that's where you create the delimitation now but the author says that not only is the the vessels complementing source which create a limiting factor but also Tessa's lesson if you trace crested bacteria source also Vols of those back tothe beginnings because ultimately Guin crafted in this world this is custom free-flowing and this is where we this creates a blockage but ultimately in the source they both come from the same level why because ultimately her seminal can we say in smash my israel hashem elokenu hashem echad in other words why the PowerPoint is ablative don't think for a second that you'd cave up case creating infinite world and photos think of cameras trying to stop it it's not stopping it it's the same thing you know God just like God wants to give us infinitely the way he gives finite beings is by creating hoorah and that's also a level of giving in other words when you say no it's not because you don't want to give there no creates the giving that we can enjoy because if God gave us infinite and he didn't create the okay we didn't create the vessels that would slow it down guess what would we enjoy the world absolutely not so ultimately the giving and the non giving disgusted and we're Alton Utley comes from the same place now they also need come from the same places ultimately it's all about giving but you have to create a structure that we can receive but receive and it should be contained in arm on our physical finite world so in other words this could recap what do you see from this chapter how important it is to realize that ultimately everything that exists in this world is what from the infinite God and that's a truth about everything there's nothing that happens in this world it's not happening from the infinite God what we see as finite what we see as other things we're seeing the concealment part of God which is ultimately really not about concealment it's about giving but God and His infinite power is created a reality that we see as finite to create a limiting reality for us that we can appreciate enjoy but deep down in that infinite it's really for it really is in the finite it's really infinite a potentially protecting us exactly so in other words to answer the question of last week we really are all part of the infinite God so in that case how do we exist and the answer we exist because God created a concealment process which is only to really to us but in truth it's not really a real concealment and by creating that concealment process we think and believe that there's a real existence but right behind it if we're able to think for a moment to realize ulting everything comes from God and by having the two flowing thoughts one is that everything really comes from in from the part of God and that God created concealment and we don't really understand how it works and we're not capable of understanding that ultimately gives us a real power to have true faith in God to have true trust in God that God runs the world and God took care of us by creating us and will continue to taking care of us for ever and ever
