as interesting Conard abellio which is
from Elio another Elijah the Prophet a
statement that he said that I Shem that
God has called an usher called a rich
called wealthy so obviously when we call
God wealthy we're not referring to you
know how much he has in his bank account
or how many stocks he has or what he's
net worth is I don't think that he's
ever been written up in Forbes I don't
think there's ever been God so even
though on the dollar bill it does say in
god we trust' that's not what it's
referring to but what does it mean that
God is wealthy I once heard I saw them I
farsan bring down a fascinating son
there's a Mishnah and other and ethics
of our fathers that says Hazen last year
has some Arabic okay who is rich was
wealthy truly wealthy he was happy with
his portion so we're not going to focus
on the simple meaning which is to be
happy with what you have but a person or
someone who is happy with his portion is
hailing awesome ass The Hulk I he is
called an usher here is called wealthy
so the Muharram explained that Hashem is
also happy with his portion who is God's
portion qualia strong the Jewish people
are called God's portion because we have
a Haluk Aloka email Kayla Kayla commie
mal means that each person has a divine
property inside him a portion of God on
high meaning there's something divine
there's a part of us that is in essence
a part of God it is portioned off it is
like given off to us to use the most
mundane analogy it's like if you have a
piece of play-doh you have one big one
and then you take from there and you put
it in one and you put it in another and
you put it in another that's in essence
where we're coming from but the play-doh
analogy is not a good one because when
you take a piece of play
away from the big clump play-doh they're
no longer connected but when you take
away the peace of God and put it
somewhere else it's still connected in
essence it's still there they're still
connected just there's some barrier of
physicality of finite existence in the
way but the the peace of God is still
there what is that peace of God call
that's called the Haluk avocadoes called
a portion of a sham but in essence
that's called the neshamah that's called
the soul the soul is a piece of God the
soul comes from a sham itself a small
piece of a shim exists in every single
one of us what and where is that soul so
usually when we think about it we say
the soul is here well there's truth to
that but the slurm tell us that mostly
the soul is up here the soul is in the
rice which is the head but it's also in
the word we shown which is always the
first and the top that is why the head
is on top of the body facing upwards as
opposed to animals whose heads are
usually facing down towards Earth
because their source is completely
physical and tonight our stores which is
the head meaning the neshamah is facing
upwards because it is closer to a Shem
the soul that portion of a Shem that
exists in each and every one of us is in
essence to intellect knowledge the mind
the mind the rambam and the havas above
us explained that the mind is the
conduit in which God speaks to mankind
God speaks to us through our mind which
is really through our soul through our
neshama the more clarity then a person
has in his thinking the more unlimited
his mind is or the more unpainted or
unadulterated him the more he can
understand and
connect to new godly form which is as
neshama but the more things that are in
the way the more things that limit him
and his perception and envision the more
personal desires and wills and wants
that he has they get in the way of his
neshama so the message that the neshamah
will send to the rest of the body in
essence the message may be silent or
maybe staticky you won't be able to hear
it the channels are not on the right the
knob is not on the right channel so when
a person wants to connect to Russian
through his neshama through his soul
which always wants to return to its
original source which is God Himself
that is the portion of God in order to
do that a person has to have a pure
altruistic mindset in order to allow God
to speak to him through his mind this is
the livewell prophecy and more than that
this is the total the Torah allows both
things to happen allow the person to
connect there's a divine will but it
also allows a person to purify his mind
to remove the limitations that will give
him the ability to access the divine the
neshamah that speaks to him from God
this is the essence of the soul and this
is what the neshamah does when it learns
this is what the Zohar says yes royal
the I Raisa the Kurdish of lethal
console Claudius row our soul I rice on
the Tyra the Kurdish alberico MSM
they're all one all of those together
are really one essence the divine in
order for us to connect to it more in
order for us to unite ourselves with it
more we need to remove the barriers we
meet you remove the limitations of
physicality of our finite existence of
shallowness of temptations and desires
and the only way that we will really
connect as the puzzle says ner ello Kim
nishma
of them the flame where the candle of a
sham is the soul of a person like a
candle like a flame is always going
upwards so to our soul always wants to
go upwards always wants to return
passion but we have this physical thing
here called body we have this physical
part of us that focuses on our own wants
and desires instead of solely focusing
on the will of a Shem that is the
impediment to the neshamah and to the
voice of a sham speaking through the
neshamah but were it possible for a
person to have absolutely clear pure
pristine mind the Word of God would come
to him and through him very clearly this
is something that it's spoken about and
many of this firm the Torah give the
person the ability number one to connect
to this oneness of a Shem and the soul
of people but also give the person
clarity and pureness in his mind that he
can now have the mind as the conduit
that I shall speak to him through when a
person learns Torah not just one not
just because okay I gotta go not just
out of intellectual thirst but when a
person learns cholera in order to
connect in order to remove all barriers
and connect with oneness complete
oneness to a Shem and his neshama and it
soul that is something that will give
him in essence the ability to hear loud
and clear the voice of a Shem that will
speak to him and threw him through his
soul this is something that we find
throughout the generations called doc
Tyra das Tyra is literally means the
intellect of a knowledge of Tyra that
there were people in this world and are
living in this world the great leaders
of the generation that through their
continuing unlimited give Akos entire
through that continuous learning that
never stops both day and night always
focusing on allowing their soul to taste
the
godliness and to taste the divine by
being a sick and tired by learning and
by by pursuing God's will to his Tyra
not only does it give them clarity of
mind but it also allows the voice of a
Shen to speak to them and through them
this is something that the Torah discuss
is often this is called doc Tyra when we
there is a saying when you pray you talk
to God when you learn God talks to you
what that means is that the Torah is in
essence allowing a person's neshama his
soul which is the divine piece of ash em
inside him to be a conduit pression to
speak to him thus far and even tell us
this is something that's brought down
from the grow that if and obviously this
has to be you know there's not one of
those things you want to try at home but
if a person is stuck in the desert he
doesn't know where to go right or left
life and death he has no one to ask he
doesn't know what to do if he should
learn he should learn tire up for a few
hours until it gets a part of him and
then think about the issue and whatever
it is whatever decision comes to his
mind he should follow it if you come to
a fork in the road pick it up and eat
with it but what that's telling us is is
that the tour gives the person the
ability for God to speak to him and
through his soul this is the essence of
the Torah Tyra by rights on the CUDA
shibori hoo-hah do Chloe's trolls and
ishyama that we are the portion of a
sham that exists in each and every one
of us and the Torah and Hashem are all
one we're going to end with one final
thought the Gomorrah says that if a
person feels a wise man he makes a
bracha obviously I don't want you to do
this on video you have to see me
personally but if you see a wise man you
make a blessing that's when you see a
Samwise menu when you see a scholar of
Torah you make a different bra when you
see a regular wise person you make sure
nuts on mayhawk must say then a sham
gave wisdom to human man
but when you see a person a scholar of
Torah you say Sherlock make us mercy he
portioned out his wisdom to bust of Adam
figuration line to a fear of those who
fear heaven the difference between nuts
on between giving and portioning out is
that the intellect that there is in a
wise person a regular smart man is given
to him it's a gift but the wisdom that
exists in a Torah scholar is not a gift
that was given in it's a part of god
that was portioned out to him it's a
part of God still while it exists in
that person he never loses it so what
that means is that his neshama is so
great his soul is so powerful and
connected to a Shem that God in essence
is speaking to him and giving him his
wisdom teaching wisdom through his
neshama when we blessed everyday and we
say thank you I sham I'm allow meet or
allow my child teaches pirate the
Collies role that is true because in
every second God teaches us he speaks to
us through our intellect and our
intellect is alan Hashanah so when we
are aware of the power of the Divine
soul that we have and the precious
cherished position that it has as both
being a portion of God and a conduit for
God to speak to us not only what we
respect it not only where we cherish it
more but hopefully we will listen to its
call instead of the call of our bodies
and our temptations and hear the voice
of God that speaks to men you
you
