Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Tanya Chapter 23 - "Unity of G-D" Via Torah & Mitzvot

welcome everyone to tonight's pannier class we are learning Tonya chapter 23 Hebrew it's called pirate club gimel since I hear some new people here so just gonna give like a introduction to everyone on board we've been studying the last few weeks a very important concept in mysticism and that is the idea in Hebrew it's called Atlas Hashem which refers to the oneness of God in other words what is act as a shame what is the oneness of God mean so we know we say in the Shema which is the most important prayer it says my Israel here Israel or some local kindergarten I got a sham a hood now haircut means one so the simple definition is one when I see for example there's one watch there's other watch but this is being one watch that I like but the true definition of one in oneness is that that is the only watch that exists in the world see if there's two launches or three or many more it's not the oneness it's one out of many oneness in the true sense of the word is it's the only thing that exists so when we say SH my astrology MLK neshama HUD what are we saying that the only real existence that exists in the world is God everything is God and God is everything that is the idea of oneness it's the only real existence in the world now we know that God gave us the Ten Commandments and the Ten Commandments the first two which we actually heard from God himself we were all there at Mount Sinai II is an OPM Aloka I am God your God and the second one is you should not have any low you look hot you shouldn't have any other gods in you shouldn't have any other gods what does that mean practically which again since everything goes back to the oneness of God so the essence of all the commandments they're specifically the first two or even more so the first one is to know that I am the only existence so part of the meditation and the understanding of the first commandment is that a Nokia tremolo kapha the only existence that exists the only power that exists in the world is God that's in the positive side and since we tend to you know slip wall from veer off so Laila brings you back no no remember there is no other God so note here is the focus I am God your God that's the focus I am God your God no you look ha is no don't slip off come back there is no other gods you can look anywhere and everywhere you're not finding anything other than God so one keeps you focused and one keeps you from being unfocused so the focus is I am God God la illaha is to stay it can keep you in focus now so that's what minutes discussing the last few weeks about the unity of God today you're going to experience a very very I think one of the most profound I mean again every chapter in Tanya's profound and everyone is unique because this is a foundation of mysticism so because it's foundation every chapter is giving you a message that you didn't hear before but also a message with a strong foundation that you need to really be able to connect to God in a real way so this chapter in Tonya I believe is really gonna exchange your it change your whole experience every single time from here on you do a mitzvah and every single time from here on you study Torah and that is because you're gonna get today a glimpse and glimmer of what takes place when you do a mitzvah from a spiritual spective and what takes place when you study Torah because for example we're trained you can study Torah but you got to do mitzvahs and you got to pray which is all true but we're gonna take you take to the back room and see what happens when you study Torah and when you do a mitzvah now when you know from the back room what happens guess what happens mitzvot take on a whole different dynamic studying Torah takes on a hold of the Namek because you're realizing the effect and the impact you're having on yourself and that you're having on the world so Tonya in this week you start being this now this week in this chapter that we're studying this week chapter 23 the author becomes and introduces to us a teaching of the Zohar which we know is the Kabbalah and based on this teaching we're gonna have a whole different view of what happens when you study Torah Namid smoked so Tesla's or as follows alright so the coach Aubrey who cool cut what does that mean Torah and God is one in other words when Torah and God is one in one now the realities like this what we just say before that everything is God so everything is God what's the big novel idea the source putting on the table there touring God is one if I tell you guess what I'm gonna teach you something now the table and God is one it is one the cheer and God is one we and God is one so what does it mean when the Torah tells us that Torah in God is one everything is one with God so what does that mean it means very simple the truth is the truth is that everything is one with God the table the chair that Torah everything to ask him/her whoever it may be what's the difference the difference is very simple in order for God to create this physical world he had to create a symptom a concealment of the infinite power or in Hebrews called a hester upon him with god's hiding his face god's hiding his power god's hiding his energy and therefore we see in this physical world we don't say oh there here's god's we say here's a table or here's a chair or here's this person that person here's a book a bookshelf lights etc he's a building a car right because why do we say that why don't we say here's God God God and the answer is very simple if God conceals himself and because God concealed himself our initial reaction for us living in this physical materialistic world is what we call it whatever it whatever the name that's given to it however it is always says when you study Torah I'm going to talk about it in depth when you study Torah guess what this is one with God there's no concealment here when you take out a calmness or a mission or a Talmud or some mysticism you study Torah guess what all that can see go away and you are connecting right now with God himself then the ZOA goes on to say actually in tacones ou are not resolved itself into Cooney's over says as follows that the 248 commandments now you can ask me to 613 and the answer is the 613 commandments there's 248 positive Commandments and there's 365 negative Commandments so the 365 negative Commandments we're gonna tell why that next week or in the next chapter of time you chapter 24 chapter 24 will deal with a negative Commandments but this week we're talking about the positive Commandments and the path of this 248 Commandments so there's always says remark P khuddam which is again the 248 Commandments positive Commandments enon they are remarks evolving the Malka 248 limbs of God now you notice the difference when it came to Torah what did this always say that it's one all right so the Kucha brittle cool had when you study Torah that's one however the commandments are limbs of God now what does that mean limbs of God but one thing you can see it's not God it's not one with God its limbs of God we have to understand what it means limbs of God's but you see it ready it's not one so but the point is when you do a mitzvah when a person does it according to the sower simples oh we're gonna get into it explain to what it means practically but a coin throw simples over any time you do one of the positive Commandments again the negative that's next week or next chapter Tonia but anything you do a passive commandment keep kosher keep Shabbat front fill in like the Shabbos candles and mezuzah whatever it may be any time you do a positive commandment that's 248 we're not gonna most them all right now you are basically connecting with God like a linen now what does that mean okay so now we have to understand every teens or it's Kabbalah now in order to the one line in Kabbalah one line is are we gonna talk about it for hours these years or months so we're gonna now get take a journey into what the Zoey is telling us and this will hopefully give us a better understanding of the idea of after session the oneness of God in relation to what doing Mitzvahed and studying Torah so let's start first with the idea of Mitzvah why because what does always say that the 248 gets vote is like the limbs that little the limbs of God what does that mean so we know like this there is tense we wrote as we discussed last week and we discuss many times in the class there Tennessee wrote starting from cat there and then obviously don't count that through mal hood its total of 10 Surat what is the highest 0 the highest fear is cancer in cats there's two levels is tiny which is a deep pleasure and then there's rot zone which is the will now what is the highest power there person has this conscious of these conscious of his of his will he wants so obviously timing is higher and deeper but a conscious something the other person wants those tiny internal pleasure rocks and I want something it's really external but I want it so when a person wants something guess what happens you get it mark as you want and you get it interpreted I think I might like it it's almost like you know maybe maybe really shouldn't like it's not so good for you the the intellect is not as powerful as will as you know someone says uh you know I enjoy this internal low-level joy you know that's a guru if I reserve maybe okay fine so you get it you don't get it at the end of the world knowing you just saw you want something the expression English is when there's a will there's a way exactly so nuts own is is very very powerful now God had a rough summer will what was as well God wanted as a thousand Kabbalah and ZOA wrought circles were who God wanted Leah slaves worked a half for himself a deer or a dwelling place we're bit tacked on him now what does tax Tony mean in a very low placed and what does it mean low gods all over we need low gods all over me i lo is there higher and lower for God God is here God's there what's the difference so God but when we say higher and low what refer to we're referring to God's revelation of God's concealment so obviously the place higher means God concealed God as God conceals themselves we going lower and lower in the presence of God so in a place where God is revealed God's revealed he's there in revealed way but God went ahead and the obviously gods infinity can create a place where he is but he really looks like he isn't and he can feel himself we're in this physical materialistic world you know he won't this world about solute Bria you'd see Razia again another discussion of the class but the point is this physical world that we live in is called catonian low and actually doesn't get lowered in this materialistic world a place where God has not felt and got God is really concealed unless you really make the effort you make the effort but if you don't make the effort God is concealed God said guess what I'm gonna create this materialistic world well I'm not technically present even though God's everywhere and I want to be felt there I want that my presence should be noticed by somebody and therefore he created us with a mind and a heart and an ability to search to look for meaning and to find God and when we find God guess what happens God is happy so I given playgame hiding go seek and you're hiding but you hide so well then also everyone stops looking for you guess what happens how do you feel you've gotta forgotten exactly you feel like you lonely come on well you guys forgot about me exactly and what happens when we stop looking for God you know God feels the same exactly he feels lonely no one's looking for him what will you look for God you find him lambs when your friend finds you have to like looking for you for a long time and you hide real well Steve aha you hide in a washing machine or a dryer I'm just kidding I'm not giving you any wild ideas but the point that the point I'm making is they get behind real well and someone finds you how's the excitement for both of you it's great right that's the same thing what happens when a person looks for God in places where you never think he and you make a blessing and you study Torah and you do midsole and you pray when when it's least expected how do you feel great tithing God feels even greater right he feels good he feels wonderful why because you look for him and you didn't stop looking for him our job is to keep on looking for God's God job is to keep on concealing himself and then we have a beautiful activity that lasts forever and that's exciting because if God was always revealed guess what our job would be nothing he's revealed life is wonderful when God's concealed then you have to look for God now we have excitement sometimes drama right but it's the best exercise you can do is to keep on working for God's because guess what because since God is infinite is the game ever over no because wherever you find him guess what there's more to him and you keep on looking ok so God wanted to have a dwelling place in this world now how's he gonna do that very simple he created a world that's the void on a physical level or in an appearance level of any spirituality only godliness and he said guess what here's how the game works of life I'm gonna give you a Torah in The Tortoise Commandments remember 613 for this week we're talking about the positive ones 248 minutes for any time you do a mitzvah means anything you do one of the 248 mitzvahs guess what happens now you are fulfilling my dream because you are doing what I really wanted I wanted you in this physical world where it's so I get up a punch film today I'm not putting on phone today I'm too tired right I have work to do I have errands to do he said oh no god I know I have a dress and I'd rather not do it but I'm gonna do it anyway guess what at that moment you found God you know what kosher food too expensive too burdensome maybe I'll buy something that kosher no no you know what I'm gonna stop learning about kosher right guess what happens at that moment you found God you create a relationship at that moment you you create spark what's mark going back to the original ruts on the will of God his internal will that we in this world jus should do to 613 commandments non-jews the seven Noahide laws and any time when a person does one of those in its vote guess what happens he's not lonely about exactly exactly so in other words in other words to make it clear so what happens when a person does a mitzvah he is fulfilling the internal will of because we're who now think about that take for a moment think about it any time you do a mitzvah and again that's 248 to choose from giving charity right you could have bought yourself some an extra clothing or gonna take an extra trip but whatever maybe put it away to your savings right or put it for your kids and you take out anything I'm gonna give tiny I'm gonna give 10% to charity or whatever you leave the charity at that moment what happens you are fulfilling God's commandment in the Torah to give charity guess what happens now it's like ringing the bell god I reckon I remember you I still remember you every time right you do a mitzvah you're ringing a bell gosh oh my gosh guess what they remembered me think about it okay hiding God feels he feels great ever and get from any kind you can ring the bell as many times as you want as many times you want it's very simple pull anyone the 248 Mets modes positive and guess what boom you're ringing a nice Bell has a feel when you ring the bell you feel great because you got that you don't wanna cause the bell to ring and God feels great because they remember the plan and they really they stuck to the plan and they're actually doing them it's salt now so that is basically what happens when you do them EXIF are in a beautiful way so then the question is if that's really what happens when you do a mitzvah technically what are you doing you're really becoming one with God but how come in the Zohar does the only call it like for like it's only one of the limbs of God it's God himself this what God wanted so the after he explains and in fact sending intent he sounds very simple because what is the will of God the will of God is that you should connect with them they usually one with him that is the will of God how do you do it through a medium fulfilling one of the 248 positive commandments so when you fulfill the commandment it's true there's you there's God and through the commandment you're connecting to God but you're not touching not themselves she is an intermediary there's a commandment it's great again it's a beautiful powerful connection no one's knocking the connection but will you'll soon see why the distinction between doing a mitzvah and studying Torah the point the the author is explaining is the reason why there's over calls it like a limb it's very simple because let's see for example you as a human being right you're sitting and also you say you want to move your hand right your hand your feet so there's you who you whoever you are and then is your hands now your hands move automatic as you give it a message to move but the hand is not you you are your godly soul that's within you so true your hands into your hands it's your feet it's your head but it's still not you the essence of you are the same thing also when you do a mitzvah yes you're doing God's will but what's God's will God's will is that you should have a relationship with him and you should do his will but you're doing as well through it through an intermediary a limb to fight and just like a limb just like a limb exactly now it's interesting is the Zoeller says that the patriarchs Abram Isaac and Jacob were like chariots to the will of God now what do mean they were like cherries to the world now think about it what is the treasure you do a charity is a chariot but it it does it does what the rider wants it to do Abraham Isaac and Jacob they were like chariots what does that mean they all and consistently and constantly dill the will of Hashem so we obviously would love to follow and emulate in the ways of Abraham Isaac and Jacob how do we do that very simple by doing the will of Hashem as long as we keep on doing the will of Hashem we become one with God obviously through the intermediary of the Mitzvah we become one with God okay so that is all when it comes to what when it comes to the idea of doing a mitzvah however one of the sower say now I'm going to go to the higher level what it is always say that when a person that Torah is one with God it's same thing in other words out there explains that when a person studies Torah guess what happens now when you're studying Torah think about this you're a human being God gave you a brain God give you a mouth God gave your heart and everything else that he gave but let's use for example these three components your mind your speech in your heart and let's say you're sitting down now and you're saying we're studying Torah now how you studying Torah you're using your brain so you you're simply use your brain and use your mouth so when you sit in the study Torah so you take out a hummus or a Mishnah or some Talmud or some commentaries or Tanja or some other books on mysticism and you take the book and you read the words because if you look at the word you're not studying Torah it's like watching something right the way you study total you actually say the word it's very very important when you're studying Torah to say the words you have to scream at the whole room here's it but you have to you have to pronounce the words so if you learn in comments right you say veracious bara right you have to say the words again you can again say it in a proper tone pending on who else is in the room if no one's in room you can scream as much as you want then copy your lungs I know certain people loves you know studying very very loud it's okay as long as you disturb me anybody because in the Torah tells you to be protected with other people not disturb and bother other people right and never tell other people so you got to be careful with that okay back to the point so what happens when a when a personal studies tell you sit with your mouth and you're actually reciting the words of the Torah bridge the Baroque a morphix Pashto writes I'm Oakland metallus or if it's Talmud whatever it may be or it's mr. sudden you're reading the words of that now in order to study we're not saying you see reading Psalms are praying so you either words some courage you understand somebody you're honest and etc studying Torah what a studying mean using you now once you read the words right right voracious in the beginning bara created Oh Kim God now what does God want you to do when you study Torah to think about either side you said the word voracious what does brashness mean so either you know the translation or you get an English translation you speak Spanish to the Spanish town choice whatever it's Russian whatever it may be you read and you comprehend Oh in the beginning and then you go more in-depth Wow racialist means the beginning why to be racist in the beginning and we know the base is referring to two beginnings and so on and so forth so as you start thinking of what you're studying now what's happening now whatever you're reading and verbalizing and articulating you're starting to process in your brain and you and then you think about it you think you think about it and then if you're studying with a part a study partner so you couldn't discuss it hey what do you think about this in the person what does that mean and so on a sophist and you get into an intense conversation about something you're learning that's called Luminara Liberatore is I read I comprehend and it's always best actually to study with a study partner because arounds when you study it yourself which is okay I'm not saying you shouldn't slow yourself but it's always better to study with a study partner because when you study with a star apart and I guess what happens yeah there's much more depth exactly it's much more death and also you don't get lost in your own thoughts and your own opinions where the Torah says like you can come with this idea and present no where does it say like you're making this up see what yourselves you can make you can tell you some any story you know why cuz you know hey the only one that's there is you so you can tell you some funny story you can believe anything you want to believe but once you're there with somebody else guess what now is checks and balances would you where you get that from he shows me inside a matter fact there's a rule like it so wants to say I want to ask you a question in the Torah the rule is show me inside because ramin's they ask you a question they built the whole bridge and they're never even existed and metaphor that's one of the reasons why we we read from the Torah on Monday Thursday Shabbat holidays from a Torah which is written on parchment ink which is verified today the verified by computer but someone actually checks from a previous torah to make sure that there's no no one's adding in anything and I was taking anything out so you make sure it's authenticated that's why it's important to study with a study partner so back when you're studying with a study partner again whatever this whatever you're studying with a study partner now it's going into your brain and you discuss and you're going into deeper and you think about Mia's question and sometimes you actually like for many hours you can really think of what you know what does it mean and how do I understand that there's level so many levels of depth that when you study Torah now the reality is the reality is think about this whose story you studying whose ideas of this gods it's God's idea everything that's in that in the in the five books of Moses the prophets the writings which is the written part of the Torah and the oral part of the story that was given over to Moses right the mission of the Talmud etc and all of my sister was I was taught to us by powerful people that all wrote down with divine prophecy guess what happens it's all God's information now in your saying the words that's all whose words are you saying God's words when you're thinking about the words of Torah whose words you thinking about God words as as you're meditating and in depth and it's going into the depth of your brain and how deep is our brain we all know that we use maybe like a three three percent the five percent of our brain as you something you study Torah you start using more percent more okay you go deeper guess what you can have you get the hundreds and don't worry you're not gonna break your brain over studying Torah you can study and I'll never crack I can guarantee you you cannot you cannot overdo it on your brain you can't you can no one has ever done it so far no one has ever done so far by the way in this studies by the way the earth studies that after you go passed away when they get certain brain scans people that actually studied intensely they saw different more parts of the brain actually you know strain or use etc yes correct I heard though age in average exactly so back to the point so what when a person studies Torah again you're saying words from God you're thinking words of God so guess where is God in you in your brain in your mouth and not only you're bringing your mouth horse when you get excited about your study it trickles down to where your heart and you get this certain joy you get some we all know that because we study Torah we know how happy we are we study Torah right when you really study toe and you think about what you're learning you become happy so it actually it goes into your heart and then even creates a smile on your face so look at that who's doing all that it's God that you brought into you in a real way in a very tangible way and literally made God part of your life and you have joy now so therefore so when you study Torah whose Torah is it it's God Himself God's ideas God's thoughts God's writing so when you're connecting to God through studying Torah is that unity or what yeah that is unity through an intermediary no it's God himself see when you're doing a mitzvah for example so he's putting on tefillin so God wanted you to connect to him so you said use blank boxes and put it on you so true everything is God the black boxes are God but there's an intermedia of a box that's connecting you to God himself here you're bringing God himself within you I mean could you get to a greater unity in that no greater than you reading that now because when a person studies Torah you are doing what you're bringing God literally within you so now think about it the next time you sit down to study Torah are you doing the mitzvot and you say hold on a second wow I am going down to bring God with enemy isn't that gonna change all experience yes when you're doing omitsu you realize oh my gosh I'm actually connecting with God isn't that gonna make a different experience now after doing I met so you know I'm just doing an act and someone asked you to do your dad your mom and your teacher and you're just doing it or even if you're disciplining respectful here you're actually realizing that what you're doing this book so guess what we the bell ringing in God's ears I mean just studying Tori you're bringing God within you now correct so what happens is the outer explains that when a personal studies Torah this is what takes place on a spiritual level we know that there's something which is called the infinite light of God or insult now in order for God to God to create this materialistic world he had to make a symptom he had to conceal the infinite light the more he concealed it and the more we're able to obviously in this materialistic world enjoy the world and we get a little bit you know glimmers of holiness and spirituality excited too big so we have the godly light in this world is internalized but it's very it's a very dim light now Humanity of God all of a sudden open its light and expand light no we're going to work now so therefore but in the other hand such a light does exist in Hebrew it's called in the world word of world of a Kabbalah it's called or your hamachi what does mean into Marcos Mac of means you cannot internalize it if you internalize you explode so there's a powerful light that harbours over each and every one of us harbours and obviously in the higher worlds we cannot bring their powerful light internalized because then it would by neck right it would explode it's like if you have a cup of 18 ounces of order you can put an 8 ounce though if your cup that can hold eight ounces you can put in 8 ounces weapons all thing you want to put in a gallon of water and you force it in there a couple shatter you can't do it but on the other hand it's good to have the gallon on the side you know why because when you finish your cup of eight ounces guess what take the gallon and put in another in ounces you can drink it so you need a gallon or ten gallons or a hundred gallons but you cannot internalize that only eight ounces at a time that's the laws of nature the same thing also or your markup and irony are pre means the amount of light the amount of connection I can have a God is very very limited however there is an infinite connection I can't have that is one way you can have that that is how by studying Torah because when you starting Torah guess what you're actually internalizing it because think you bring into your mouth into your mind and you're internalizing what the infinite power of God that normally you cannot internalize the only way you can gain and connect to that infinite power is only through Torah study that's point number one the author explains point number two is what happens when you study tours as follows we know that in ethics of our fathers that we actually study in the summer the Mishna says that in maine yah if there's no or for God in Kaufman there's no wisdom and then it says Amen nut there's no wisdom anger there's no there's no or forgot so the questions is is a joke hey if you're telling me that wit or euro comes first and then Kaufman goes or are you telling me that Rahman comes first thing then or or awesome for God goes goes first which one which one is correct so the author explains based on this concept of a beautiful explanation it's as follows in order to have a relationship with God in order to sit down and study Torah and connect to God by studying Torah or in order to doing a myths and really appreciate the connection and connect to God by doing them it's about praying a person has to have respect for God Hebrews called yireh in English called respect reverence or forgot matter of fact before you starting Toby if makeup last thing mean to say is you can't um like you can disrespect God and expect me I'll to accept from them any any any any blessing or any light so the first thing is you want to study Torah you want to pray you want to mix vote you won't have a relation over God okay so first have respect for God and that's why the mission says in a mirror in Hoffman you wanted to have wisdom you want to have relation for God you have to have the basic respect to realize you know what God created the world God is powerful God and you know what as much as I don't understand it I'm limited I'm finite but I respect God even I don't get it now let me let me see what you have to say let me study Torah let me pray let me do a mitzvah etc I'm coming from a place respect when you're coming from a place respect you made yourself an opening you made yourself a vessel an you'll be able to appreciate and have a good relationship regards like in any relationship if you don't expect the person hacking every relationship so you need to have a basic respect basic now folks if that's the case you have or and you have wisdom so what's this or at the end souther explains and here comes a huge prize that happens once you start studying Torah once a person starts studies Torah on a daily basis and for example when you study Torah you're saying the words of God and you're thinking about God now think god you're actually internalizing God's wisdom into your brain what happens to you think about it you just now brought in this infinite power you discussed before of God into your brain into your mouth you fly it trickles down to your heart you all of a sudden guess what you get different set of eyes you also get your horizon opens up you have a broadened your whole concept of reality you're able to see things literally from a different perspective what does that mean because you're seeing things now from God the eyes because your eyes now become godly because you just now talk in a powerful spiritual medicine which is called Torah and because you see God and godliness and you now have a whole different reality of what's taking place in the world guess what happens now for sure you love everybody but you get this beautiful aura of or that comes upon you and it's awesome it's awesome now therefore the more you study Torah the more you can be the perspective now what happens like this first thing I'd say hold on great I'm committed I love this idea I'm gonna study Torah why because I want to connect with God I respect God I'm gonna study Torah and guess what rabbi I studied for hours and days I don't feel it I don't see it so the author is says two things there's two reasons why I could be one is one is because it's God totally allowed himself to be revealed through a tutorial you're studying with you it knows when you say there's no question the revelation takes place but because your your soul is in a body and if the relation was really exploding you know what happened to you you were explodes and you wouldn't exist in this world so therefore even though it's there and your soul season and feels it it doesn't allow it to break its bounds in other words as the expression and so it says I fall God even though the EU locos you don't see it but your Mazal your soul your spiritual counterpart sees it and feels it so even though you might not feel it but your soul season so you can ask yourself what you want to see it my soul sees why can I see it so the author explains and we discussed this once before but I'll explain it now because talks right in this chapter is that when God created us human beings he get created us with a physical body but he also gave us a soul now this soul that he gave us as we discuss that comes down from God from the infinite power of God and goes through all the four different worlds at sea Lou Reed CEO CEO and then it comes into the body now how long does it take for the journey to come down takes nine months right well the mother is a pregnant with the child takes nine months now what happens in that nine months so it has to go through a journey of four worlds I'd seal it namely being the world that's totally infinite with God Bria is already a creation so that obviously the light start again it gets more dimmed you see where these formation means as this formation is less of God's revelation and then there's a world of physical reality that means it's even less of God's revelation so what happens as the soul goes down notice from where it's God's more revealed not physically higher and low but God's more yelps what God's less revealed so the journey takes place everyone has their own journey that means so for example the examples given has Moses Moses spent nine months or eight point nine percent of the nine months in the world of X he looked right with God's reality the last second he took a super jet down to this materialistic world he opens his eyes in this world guess what he is called in the world of Kavala neshama what does that mean he still sees only godliness even though he's living in this world here's the he'd have sees God and godliness Navin when he studies Torah and we know most remaining went up to God to receive the Torah he he motivated anew the Torah he saw the Torah he was living the Torah because he had his soul was in a very high level however and I give you another extreme case you can have a soul that spent nine months as soon as he was told he's coming down he went straight into the world of us even before he came out he spent not a you know ninety-nine percent of the time in the world so even he comes out this world so when he comes out into this world what does he used to seeing materialism he was cold lated for nine months in a place where materialism was reality so you try to talk to him anything spiritual and he's just found studies Torah even though it's Taurus going within him he doesn't feel like why cuz the soul is a very very down-to-earth soul and again obvious I gave you two extremes but there's multiple levels in between but because the person soul whatever at levels but sit on the lower uncial on right where it's facing the world of materialism so he can sit and study tour and do mid-south etc guess what he's not gonna feel it or see it so therefore let me shouldn't do it no because even though he doesn't see it the effect is still there and that's when a person irrelevant whether you see it or feel it the reality is if and when you study Torah you are bringing God into every part of your physical being into your mind and into your heart as long as you study Torah and continue to studying Torah so in other words to recap the truth is that God is we're everywhere there is no place where God is not however God's concealed in this world so the truth is everything is really part of the oneness of God however because God concealed there are places where God is more revealed we'll go from the bottom to the top first level is when you do a mitzvah when you do a mitzvah so there's you this God and is the median that you can connect to God through the mitzvah and when a person does a mitzvah you are creating a oneness experience that's much more revealed when you're not doing a mitzvah if you're not doing immerses you when you're sleeping you're daydreaming right with God I don't know right he's there but you everyone's sleeping when you're doing a midst of all the sudden guess what you're ringing a strong bill god here's the bill and there's a connection there's a oneness so anytime we go ahead and do a mitzvah guess what should we just do it because all right I guess I got to do this or no when you're ready to ring that Bell boom right your ring it because right now connecting to God so every time we go ahead and we do one of the 240 positive minutes we are creating what a oneness experience with God now what's a higher than that when you sit and study Torah whether it's at night or in the morning or in the car or if you're listening to a Torah thought on its phone or on the internet or in the you know at work whatever maybe you're in this real story search what's happening at that moment is you are connecting to God in the most powerful oneness connections that's possible there's no other greater connection even the higher worlds don't have that connection because they only have a ray of God when you study Torah you have got themselves and that creates an tremendous beautiful experience of oneness that you cannot create and by doing anything else in the world and that's why Torah studies very very important a matter of fact even according to Jewish law if you're sitting and studying Torah and let's say all sudden someone needs you to do a mitzvah now we know mitzvahs are important if there's no one else to do them it's a fine so you have to go to the missile but there's someone else to do them it's earth stay in study Torah why because Torah study gives you that connection and as long as you're starting Touareg that's what you'll be doing a lot of it's guaranteed because we're happens if you study tour you'll be doing miss and if you do mitzvahs and you don't study Torah but after a while the Mitzvah becomes dry so the tour is the fuel that allows you now the reality is that prayer in a certain regard is like Torah study because when you pray you becoming one with God but still Torah is always more powerful because by Torah you are taking God's and internalizing him and the most deepest deepest possible ways so I think on a practical level now is like you know the summer and we know the summer you have bigger days it's important to try to find some extra time and study more Torah because through Torah study you and I can create greatest connection with God in true oneness and unity of Atkins borough
