this mimer
unfortunately we're not really going to
get to chanukah until hanukkah is over
as it turns out but
i want to share a thought on chanukah as
i enter into the my mid not only because
it's timely but because it's relevant to
the minimum as well
hanukkah happened in eretz israel in the
holy land in the time of the base amitar
the second temple
which makes chanukah a yamatif a holiday
that should be associated with gula with
the freedom of the jewish people with
the independence of the jewish people
and so on
the fact is hanukkah is not perceived as
a holiday
of a redeemed nation chanukah is seen
as a holiday of an enslaved nation in
other words
chanake is more similar to putim than it
is to pay sahanshuis
although putim happened in the exile in
the diaspora between the first and
second base and maktash
and it happened during the second base
amita nevertheless they're considered
similar
there's a lot of reasons why this is on
the simplest of levels the second base
amita in general was not considered as
illuminated and enlightened as the first
in addition the jewish people were
obviously not free they were enslaved to
the contrary
the effect of the hanukkah miracle was
real jewish independence that would last
a century until the romans would come
into editing
and so forth but on deeper levels
chanake
is a goddess yamtif because of the
nature of the holiday
and i'm going to explain it to you
basically
you know it's the old sadiq and balchuva
issue
in other words the great jew versus the
ordinary jew great jews
are jewish and great ways they have
great minds they have great hearts they
have great souls
and there's an enormous amount of warmth
and joy and vitality and their
jewishness
that's very very integrated very
penemistic it's very internalized
simple jews don't have that kind of
sophistication that kind of depth
but the fact remains and history has
borne this out
that on many an occasion these simple
jews
express a jewishness which is
extraordinary
not only is it extraordinary relative to
their level
it's extraordinary even to the level of
the greater jews the more sophisticated
jews the more
wholesome jews and
um as the stories relate
and as rasidis explains these simpler
jews would often and express
a connectedness talk on this barracuda
which is even greater than it exceeds
the
more internal warm delightful connection
to our country
of the greater jews and this is really
the story of jewish history the
greatest jewish people were supposed to
have the deepest relationship with
hashem
the simplest jewish people did not have
that deeper relationship
but they compensated for it with an
extremism
that when the time called they were
ready for mesita's nephesh
al-kilheim for complete sacrifice of
self even martyrdom and so on
that's what makes chanukah a godless
holiday because the story of chanukah
is not a story of richness and
sophistication
the story of chanukah is a story of
unbelievable sacrifice
and risk taking and it expressed
a connection to god which is beyond all
limits
which in in a significant way is above
and beyond the connection to god that we
have
on the more meaningful holidays like
shabbos and yamdev
in its raw power and its raw dedication
and its raw sacrifice
although on the other hand it was an
experience that did not
transform them it wasn't a meaningful
experience it was a powerful experience
it was an experience of mercedes-nefesh
in other words
and therefore chanukah like putim are a
different category of yamthev than
pesach and shivulis and sukkos
we're going to learn a mayamer this
myamir is going to talk
amongst other things or to a very very
great extent about hashem's name
by the time the muhammad is done we will
have learned to havayas
and basically the two havayas is going
to explore is the away of the sadiq and
the
valley of the baal the rich internal
sophisticated avaya with all of its
dynamism and all of its subtlety and all
of its complexity
and then the raw powerful infinite
hawaii which really shows itself
in times of mercedes netfish at moments
of great sacrifice
where even the simplest of jews draws a
strength
from some place so incredibly deep that
he demonstrates a power that even the
sophisticated jew
cannot as i'm talking i'm thinking of a
story
and i've told the story before but the
story just comes to mind as i speak
that in tafresh that means
1887 the rebel shabbat
the then young fifth of baby
was elected to be the gabba of the
khabar khadija and labavich
and as a consequence there was a
fabregan there was a kiddish
which was not for lubavitch hasidim but
rather for the lubavitcher community
the local peasants and farmers and
lubavitch created an event
to honor the new gabay of the
khabrikadish now the locals
were quite simple they were very
ordinary people they were not very
learned they worked very very hard
they had very simple lives
and um it was obviously an honor
that they'd ever lived amongst them in
addition a lot of them made a living
from it
but they really had no relationship on a
day-to-day basis but
they used to call in those days the
hotel the courthouse that ever there's
no relationship
there's no appreciation for what's
happening there
but this was not a hasidic event this
was a lubavitch event it was a local
event there was this big kiddish
everybody gathered the rebel shop
sponsored the kids
and by the kiddush that announced that
he was going to say
so all of these simple jews assume that
the devil is going to say
mercedes it's going to go straight over
their heads they're not going to
understand the word then it's going to
be
boring as it turned out that rebed ashab
said am i made
and they understood every single word
every single word
the mayama that rebed ashab said on that
occasion which is very very famous
is the maimed based on the lost
does not come with unreasonable
expectation of his
subjects he expects of them and demands
of them
only what they're able to give in other
words a simple person has a
simple expectation a sophisticated
person has a more sophisticated
expectation and so forth and so
on and he spoke about
the my love shoot him he gave the
illustration when a body needs to go
into hot water
it's the brain that understands the need
to go into boiling water
and the brain is the last one to
actually enter it the foot has no
understanding of what's the point of
going into very hot water
and the foot goes first similarly
there's a notion of sacrifice
that's more present that's more
accessible and simple people than it may
be in more sophisticated people more
enlightened people and so on
so the nebraska said this my mid and
when he finished he made a statement
which in effect added up to that now
we're going into a new era
that even the ballet the great
intellectuals
they have to put their intelligence
aside and to serve hashem and
the from a simple person and otherwise
mora t some their end is going to be
bitter
so drab ashab said this mahmet and he
made this very powerful statement about
even intellectuals not allowing their
identity as jews to be based on
intellect but based on discipline
kabbalah sale and bitter
and when he finished the mood in the
room was electric the local laboratories
first of all were thrilled they were
just ecstatic
at that episode in miami that they
understood there was enough of them
more importantly he spoke something
which was so relevant and complementary
to them and of them so after the my
marriage one of them got up one of these
simple lubricant locals got up
and he said gabba mezan he referred to
the rabbi
as the gabe the newly appointed
secretary of the khabra kadishan
we're ready for mercedes nefesh and the
rebel ashab
created a whole series of
movements on that occasion that they
should get up in the mornings and say
tell them
and for the next 25 years for the next
quarter century lubavitch was blessed
with uh
an energy that early early in the
mornings
people would come to the schools and sit
and say til them and learn
and there was a renewal that came from
that mahmed and
a real positive effect a real mercedes
nefesh-like effect
that happened from that moment at that
fabregion
there was a relative of the rabbi
who was very disturbed by all this
enthusiasm he couldn't take it
the idea that these simple jews were
sort of in this love fest with the great
rabbit
didn't sit well with him so he made a
comment
with the purpose of cooling off all this
excitement about mercedes nephesh
and legs and and the gabi of the khabib
kadisha and khabra
turned to this cousin of his who made
this remark and he told them the master
grace and bitterness
you're making a great and bitter mistake
when you believe
that the purpose of hazit is to
understand it intellectually the purpose
of hasidis is that the feet
should be inspired by the mind and that
the
the mind should
be servicing
the feet and only then is that a yiddish
a mind and as a
sinister mind and it is correct and it
used very strong words that amounted to
the idea
that a person who is only an
intellectual even if it's intellectual
involved in hasidis
it could be very very not good
this is the story and i'm telling you
the story to make out the point of
chanakya
khan is different than the other yam
tavim that means pesach
because it's categorized by mercedes
nephesh the highest kind of mercedes
explains that first of all was perhaps
they couldn't they were not really
allowed to do what they did they did it
without asking and then afterwards god
sanctioned it
and the proof was that he performed the
miracle and that's why it became a
holiday
and because the people involved were
relatively speaking simple not on such a
high level
and nevertheless nevertheless they had
this incredible mercedes nefish
and as a consequence we have a new
holiday and a new idea and so on
our my man is going to be discussing the
contrast between the
godliness of hanukkah and the god there
is the pay securities and sukis
and in short what our miami is going to
say is that the regular holidays are
talking about a lower level of godliness
but this lower level of godliness is
felt and experienced in a very internal
way in a very deep way
and the later holidays are
revealing a higher level of godliness
but they're revealing
it in a less direct way the more
concealed way but has an enormous amount
of power
and on this basis our mind is going to
discuss the two havayas the regular
hawaii which for sake of argument will
say
is that and the special avaya which is
the hawaii which is even higher
which is the hawaii of the baal chuba
and that's what our maime is going to be
addressing
we're going to spend a lot of time in
fact most of the miami is going to talk
about the conventional havaya and its
influence on the world and so on
and at the very end we're going to
address the higher avaya
so i want to begin with a discussion on
shayma valley yurt kevke
the letter of hashem the name of hashem
which is comprised of these four letters
so first of all
this name has many many definitions
the shame avaya has many definitions in
atilo's and higher than atlas
until hawaii is an illusion to hashem
himself like the labor used to say
that it's like
says which is
it doesn't have any letters whatever
those things mean
on a much lower level shame havaya is
different than all the other shame is
that it's in
anatomy that means to say hashem has ten
names
and of course you know the conversation
about why is it or how is it that god
almighty has names all together
hashem is infinite and plain how could
he give a name to something which has no
limits
and the message answers the question
the names of hashem are not describing
him in his essence the name of hashem
describing him
in his relationship with the world when
he's having a relationship of khasid
it's one thing a relationship of it's
another thing which is having a
relationship of nets
it's another thing still and so forth
so all the names of hashem correspond to
the midday sort of the fetus
where they're distinct that means the
caleb
to ferris which is one of the ten caleb
is called hawaii in other words the
kelly of the fight is also called away
but in addition to that there is the
content of hawaii which represents
and this is what makes youtube unique
it's not four letters that are distinct
because there's a vessel that's limiting
them and defining them
these are four letters that are distinct
and they're limited and defined by
themselves mine obey from themselves
in other words when you learn in hasidis
about shame
versus the other shemes the idea of
shaymavaya
and the four letters youth cave of k are
a delivery system for ain't safe
ureth k v k is how the godliness which
is meant for the world is reduced to a
point
then it expands in a hay and then it's
drawn down through the valve and it's
expanding again and ahead
the first two letters represent how god
gives us
from his godliness in a contained way
and the second two letters represent how
we receive the godliness that god
almighty has given us and
retained in a contained way so the four
letters
kevke represent how godliness constrains
itself without a vessel all by itself
the oyed itself
symptoms itself to come from a higher
level to a lower level that's hawaii of
said establishes
that's the level of godliness level of
view it gave up because it is initials
on the lower level and in the mind but
we're going to be discussing a higher
shame
which is which is associated with
what we will find is the lower level of
shame of
which corresponds to the godly light not
to the vessels
but it corresponds to that level of
godly night which goes into the vessels
the mere fact the simple fact that the
light goes into the vessel means has the
relationship with the vessel
and is affected by the vessel and is
affected by the world which comes from
that vessel
in other words the lower level of
sheimavaya may be an allusion to godly
light but it's vulnerable it's
susceptible
to the challenges of klippe and the
ether the higher shame of eye does not
come down at
all and therefore it's not susceptible
it's not vulnerable to any limitations
because it's an absolute shame and value
in other words let me say it again
the name yut kevaki is how godliness the
light of god is brought forward all by
itself without a vessel
but even the hawaiian which is godliness
by itself
in as much as it has a relationship with
the world and vessels
can be affected by the worldliness and
the vessels into which it comes
as opposed to the higher havaya which is
altogether removed from it
and this is the introduction to the my
men let's get to the minimum now i'm
getting on line two
and the pasuk says and like i told you
before this is
you are my candle god and then it adds
will illuminate will bring brightness to
my darkness
so there's two havayas in this passage
the first hawaii is associated with nade
hashem is a candle and of course we know
what candles do they make things bright
and the second is a different avaya
which is that
brings light to darkness so the
presumption is
that the second hawaii is higher than
the first hawaii the first havaya
is the light of yiddishkait and then
being revealed
the second hawaii is the light of the
darkness itself being revealed which is
what chanukah is
as the devil would often say in the
fabrication of shabbos or
yes by allah common we'll revisit this
later
it says we must understand the
redundancy of bates palma
valley water that said youth came after
twice and more specifically
how come the first time which is
hashem's name it says
hashem and the second time it says
hashem's name it says
the taste of with an additional love
what does that vote symbolize
so the question on the table is we want
to understand why in one possible other
two have i
is and why is the first one stem havaya
the second one is
he makes it the answer is and the pasta
says
the jewish neshome is compared to a
candle pierce
and you may have seen from your children
when they come home on sukkah
with the dollard meaning so they have a
picture of a man and the shiddra
the the the lulav is the spine
and that of us is the two eyes and the
essence is the heart and the hadassah is
the lips and so on it's it's in the
person the
the idea is that in a person you have
all
aspects of a mitzvah and just like in
your children's model
you have all aspects of the meaning here
in a year you have all aspects of the
abish's name yot kevaf
i want to insert something here which is
really not relevant but i want to say it
anyway
when you learn
which describes the relationship between
a jewish soul and a candle
there is the normal conventional
approach and there's the unusual
approach
the conventional approach is that the
idea of a candle
which is representative of a jew is that
he's a vessel for light he's a seat for
shrine at the rest
he's not the light itself he's the
vessel on which the shriner rests
and there's many discussions of the
effect that neshama has come from caleb
to high rahe and so on and the
advantages are coming from vessels
that give them free will and so on
but there are rare occasions which are
specifically the tanya tanya chapter 18
and 19th chapter
four of the years and so on that also
bring the martial and the possum
of neravai nishmas is a metaphor for the
jewish soul
but on these maimurim the neshama is
associ
um the hawaii
is associated with light the idea that
the neshama is
compared to a vessel which conducts
godliness with the strength and
weaknesses of a vessel
and these where my modem then is
associated with the light of
the candle and this mimer follows this
latter approach and this mind without
comparing jewish people to a candle
meaning
the light of the candle not only the
vessel pirush
in other words
is the same thing as the candle of avaya
and like i said before specifically
the light of the candle the fee and the
idea is
shakola when you look at the four
letters of hashem's name
are found are present in a candle the
hainu will be crossed in a candle also
about
a candle has four things four components
which mirror the four letters of
hashem's name
what are they saying hashem and epsilon
number one is the oil and number two is
the wick
and numbers three and four are based
they are the two colors of the light
which you can see even physically the
black light which is closest to the wick
which is closest to the wig the white
fire which is which is further away from
the wicks you have four things right
there you have the wick
the black fire the white fire and the
oil
the wick whatever absila means the
jewish people have the same thing
and the same is also true that beijing
two kinds of color of light of love
for muslims
so then a shama is called hawaii because
just like a candle has four parts
and a valley has four letters a jew has
four components
and of course we understand what those
four things are in ut
we understand a little bit where those
four things are in a candle but what are
these four things in the edition of
that's what we want to understand for
gamble having another question line 12
indian hanedi
was a testimony for the jewish people
he saw that the rest amongst the jewish
people that in the candles there was a
special miracle that would do all the
candles were lit one was lit first it
was called the
marawi all the other candles would
become extinguished and the name
of it was still burning and this was a
sign that the abrasion has a special
favoritism for the jewish people
why specifically the candles of all
things are
eidos a witness or a testimony for the
shrine of resting in this world
so we have three parallels
utke wafkee a candle
and then a shama we know what the four
are in utkevke we know what the four are
in a candle we want to know what the
four are in the shop
ah
it only shines because it's gripped on a
wick and by a rick and it's burning but
as it's burning it's being consumed
if you only had a wick i said cover the
column had it would be extinguished very
quickly
for gum and even for the few seconds
that that little piece of cotton would
burn like
in order for the wick to burn the fire
of the candle
in a way that's constructed you have to
have fuel oil je who i gave him which
causes that his hab
seal the light should join the wick in a
healthy and a constructive way they
become one
because the oil
makes the wick not be destroyed by the
fire by being raised up by the fire
who i gave him and there is this
oil which causes a a table but the light
should be good and bright
shine hashem and through the oil nasan
gavin
causes white light by the absolutely
because of the wick
governor uh you have black light so we
have to understand
the urethra and the urethra and the
neshama
is the idea of the shaman and the absila
you'll see later on i'm also telling you
now the youth would be the shaman the
second hate the second hate would be
debsila
and then between those two you have the
first hay and the vav
these two ideas the first hay and the
would be two levels of as you'll see
hashem later on in the moment
but dr ebb is going to compare the four
letters of hashem's name
and the four parts of a candle to the
four parts of the neshoba
now there's something very important
that i need to say at this point
the myrmidon is developing hawaii and
hawaii has these four parts
like a candle has four parts and um
there's four parts in the nisham
the next words on line 20 is
like everything just described in the
aforementioned metaphor
the same is also true be slapped
the manifesting of the soul and the body
and the animal soul
so he says just like in the muscle of a
fire and a wick because there's fuel
similarly
the light which is gripped and revealed
in the animal soul who commercially
areas like light
chane which is held onto a wick and of
course he's going to proceed to talk
about the animal soul
and there's a reason he's talking about
the animal soul because the issue is the
animal saw but i want to say something
very very important
don't get confused there's two candles
here
the wick the fuel and the fires we
discussed before
are the wick that fuel the fire that
they godly so
what he's saying now is the animal soul
and the issue is that just as
in the godly soul there's a wick and a
fuel
that effect that a fire should burn that
fire either carries over to the animal
soul
or is actually initiated by the animal
soul being ignited
but it's two separate steps in the mayan
one issue is understanding these four
ideas as they are in the godly soul
alone
and the other is how this idea is
paralleled also in the animal soul
and as we'll discover when the godly
soul lights up the animal soul
the godly soul benefits or slightly
differently when the animal soul is
ignited the godly soul is uplifted as a
result
but although he finds one as a muscle
and the other is a nimble the two
separate issues
there's two wicks there's two oils
there's two fires maybe there's not two
fires
but there's certainly two wicks
just like the godly soul itself has a
wick which we'll discover later what
that is
which is attached to the fuel which
burns the animal soul is also
in its own way like a wick which is
being consumed
by fire and creating light and the
interplay between the godly soul and the
animal soul are the point of all of this
and he continues skiing what is the
significance of the animal soul being a
wick which burns
ten attributes which you can divide up
into four parts if you chose to
say that's the intellect and the
emotions
of god almighty created two parallel
realities the godly soul
is comprised of your cave of gay
the animal soul is also comprised of
as there are tens fetus in the soul
which is godly
shame because which is holy yes
you also have these ten attributes in
the animal soul the difference is only
shaheen le garme instead of being for
god therefore itself
the godly soul is selfless and the
animal soul is selfish
moreover asha shalom
these two souls and the respective
ten kaikes or utke wafkee
are interconnected other means the
interface
the godless or the godly tense venus and
the
animal ut kevke or the animal tenth
swedish interface
and inshallah means one of them one
candle one youth cave of k one havaya
one s is fetus is dominating the other
havaya the other youth cave after the
other ten swedish
which to which so it could be either
the godly soul could dominate the animal
soul the animal shall dominate the godly
soul and of course you know the apostle
brings
which means there's a notion of god
almighty giving dominance to the animal
soul over the godly soul
what will turn out to be disadvantageous
to the animal soul in other words the
animal soul thinks
that its dominance over the godly soul
is to its advantage and as it turns out
in the end it will be lay
to the disadvantage of the godly soul
and that's what this my man is going to
argue
that the godly souls involvement with
the animal soul will not
only affect the animal soul but it will
benefit it will profit it will bring
addition
to the godly soul which the godly soul
by itself does not
have and then he continues like two
nations
that are worried warring with one
another
only one of them can be dominant
sometimes it's this one sometimes it's
the other one
because these two complete systems of
you at kevin have ten swedish
of the four parts of a candle as
represented in the godly soul are paled
by the animal soul
and their interface allows one to
dominate or the other to dominate
and he says the acids fear is the never
shall a kiss the ten attributes of the
godly soul
and the four aspects of the candle
that they represent the wick and the
fuel and the two fires now
are held and revealed the s is bahamas
in the tens fearless of the animal soul
mazer they're parallel and it's not the
same issue
the fact that the godly soul and its
fires
are affecting and being affected by the
animal soul
changes the godly soul and ultimately
it's to the advantage of the godly soul
the kavanaugh who the point is
that not only should the wick of the
godly soul but also the wick of the
animal soul
burn and be transformed for it to be
consumed by aidan hashama the light of
the nisham
yes and the way this is achieved is
through escafes
the animal soul needs to be fought with
disciplined bent
and transformed etc which is the process
through which it is included in
godliness dumas similar to
absiila the the the
consumption of the wick
as the wick which is an allusion to the
fourth aspect of the godly soul is
transformed into light and fire
bahamas the animal soul as well and its
four aspects are also transformed
through with hulu through a process of
transformation
so there's two
issues of consumption the fire consumes
the fuel and the wick of the godly soul
it consumes the wick consumes the wick
and the
fuel of the animal soul and this is
advantageous to the animal soul
it's also advantageous to the godly soul
we're going to revisit
this concept in next week in other words
this interface
first of all the four ideas in the
shaman and the nevisha bahamas and then
the meeting between the two
we're going to get back to next week in
the interim that ever goes on to
something else
that this must be explained kate said
how is it that tia is the animal soul
which is the soul of life for the
average person should be transformed
to ascend on such a high step le yes
that as a result of her
mee mena from her should be advocates a
light
and a revelation of godliness and this
like i said will be discussed next week
he names the devil changes the subject
and he moves on to something altogether
different
he brings the pasuk
which is of course a prayer which we say
three times a day the gemara speaks
very very highly of the akola
saying actually three times a day is of
course a very big deal and i'm sure you
are aware ashley actually does not begin
with ashrae right the first two sukham
actually
sacha are in two other places until him
psalm 145 begins with the words tehillah
david it's a psalm
it's a praise it's a hilo for david then
it says
so the rebel now visits these three
words
which means you have to raise up alakai
my god
who is my king. and of course the rest
of the possibilities
when godliness is raised up then we're
able to praise the quran
the point is that there's something
called al-qaeda
and there's something called
also with godliness but in order for
this
who is already by itself a godly thing
to be hashem you need to effect
okay in order for the kaya melo to
this notion that there's two concepts on
the cayenne
by itself and al-qaeda has been
uplifted and the advantages that come as
as a result has two concepts
number one the logical concept is
which also was a good thing it's a godly
thing he's on a lower level
and means raising up from a lower level
to a higher level but
is another concept this is exactly the
opposite
that you want to bring down what is
removed
from a higher level to a lower level to
be infused
into alakama is a concept
means you want to bring something above
alaka mother down into the
mother so that there should be the
possibility of has
i want to explain these two concepts now
remember all of this
is going to discuss is going to get back
to
not only the four aspects of the candle
of the neshama but the interface between
the sha bahamas
but let's not keep going back there okay
so he translates the words of the hamela
first peter
milan the word means my power like the
words eliot means the powerful ones on
the land
it connotes power
the power and the life which the world
needs and possesses
of course it comes may 18 save but from
the infant light of godliness
but the infant light of godliness as
it's lowered or diminished
to the level which is called hamam ali
khalam and revealed in all the worlds
and of course everybody understands
that anytime you say the word revealed
you automatically mean
limited in order to be able to be
revealed so the aid in life which is
the alakai of the whole world
the power of our existence both in terms
of us being created from non-existence
into existence
and both in terms of now that we exist
being
vibrant being alive comes from alakai
and this election is king in other words
since he lowers himself to be the king
or the alakai
of the world therefore him they exist
they live
moreover venezuela they're created may i
and from a non-existential state
lies into an independently existential
state and as i've explained to you many
times in the past
there's two steps number one the body
should be created where nobody existed
number two now that the body exists it
should be alive this is called
havoyah creation and
life both of these things are affected
by alakai
who becomes the melaka of the world
becomes the king of the world and he
proceeds to argue
that this which is the alakai of the
world
is very very diminished godliness which
is brought very low
to be a market for the world that we
know
when you think about a physical king his
rule his kingdom and dominating over his
subjects
it's not who he is it's his aura
it's his name it's his presence that the
people feel but not
who he is and iraq is nothing more than
out of a espacios what communicates what
radiates from him to another
kings don't rule by getting involved
king kings rule by retaining
or a distance a mystique a mystery and
the people are
if you will intimidated they're affected
by that distance by that aura
and they submit themselves to it that
idea is called
the light or the ray of the name of the
king
hovering above the country like an
umbrella but then of course there's the
person
that's removed from that investment
and his involvement with his people does
not touch the person that is the king
himself
as it would be the case if we were
dealing with some
if god's relationship with the world was
any other attribute or any other
advantage
for example of god would invest
in the world his wisdom that would be
much more engaged
because means a wise person he's
involved with others through
proximity through giving of himself a
maven an understanding person is
involved with others by giving of
himself
a king gives only what is superficial
to him and he has a relationship with
the people from a distance
so malchus connotes an enormous amount
of symptoms so we say alakai
the power of god that creates and
sustains the world as hamilah
is a very secondary aspect of godliness
that has a relationship with us that's
indirect
and that's why the passage says
relationship with the world is like a
king
was
the power and vitality and life which is
revealed in the worlds
which comes from alcohol and again
notice the two words
means life and then it says um that
creates and those are the two ideas of
life and existence
comes from the attribute of
which is the character of his kingship
and domination over the people
but not who he is in his essence
himself only his kingship which is
secondary and
you're going to have to forgive me for
not giving you a long version of this
this is the conversation we've had
that's a conversation we will have
especially in the bottom of hashanah
right now we're going to have to be
concise
and the never concludes on line 46 if
you lost
in order for godliness to come down
to be the power of the creation
by by first being on the level of malhus
hayuka
for godliness to be reduced enough to be
the power of the world to be the king
over the world has to be reduced
repeatedly
in the same ashrae says later on
we only know his kingship after he
reduces his godliness
which means exactitude or severity or
strength
is the limiting of his godliness yeast
to bring forward
qvaid there is kingship's
honor of the beauty of the grand of his
kinship should reach us
in other words he is covered
it's a ray of godliness which is
sufficiently close to the creation to
represent his honor and his
grand work this is quite similar to
a more familiar concept which is
of course the part of krishna
and consequently there is an enormous
amount of casitas
that explains this pseudo-passage but
hashem is not really apostle
it's in the gemara in madrid
and here the concept is the same that if
a person cannot relate
to because it's too glorious it's too
lofty it's too exalted so you relate to
the name which is secondary
in other words means godliness is
involved in the world the world is one
with god
but we bring down shame
means that the world is one with god but
in a very different way
in hashem the world is one with god
there's basically no world
in bordeaux there is absolutely a world
that's dependent upon god
and that's the concept of the tsimsumim
that produced malchus to be able to
create the worlds in a way that the
worlds exist
so what we have done is translated
and there's one translation of the
malach
is the philosophy
and hamelech is the process means
my god the god that gets involved in me
in a very personal way
and is the method he reduces himself to
only be a king and as a consequence as a
relationship with the world
that's a constant in order for avar
hashem
to be possible you have to adam allah
the involvement
the godly investment of hashem
in his world which is called has to be
in order for something to happen but
there's two translations not in
one translation is to raise after
al-qayam allah
and the other translation is to bring
something above
down into al-qaeda now i'm going to do
something which i've never done before
which is i'm going to read this my mid
not in order
i'm going to jump around because
at least for me the mind made is quite
confusing it's very hard
to understand i think i understand all
the words of the maimed
but the way the mahmet is structured is
really it throws you off
so i'm going to say this before we
continue
the kaya malach represents an ideal
that's close to the world
in other words worldliness in a way and
that
means a modification in that now when
you talk about the modification
in the hamilk there's two ideas lifting
it up or bringing something additional
down
into it and the dab is going to bring
him
on page 60 you have a hat you see that
page
i'm sorry page 50 you have a sh
on page 65 apart line 65 you have
advantage
both parts of the first pasha right
but they're very very different and i'll
tell you how
yes meditation
meditates
and if you can't handle the higher unity
so he says
which is a lower unity and then
and then he wants he wants god
if you contemplate the fact that the
reality of the world is hashem himself
and you don't feel it and that you don't
experience it so you desire it
this desire creates a longing which
in effect means you want to go out of
yourself
and connect yourself to the god who is
really one with the world that you are
not
fortunate enough to perceive
that's one concept but going out of
yourself
and wanting god doesn't get you god it
just gives you an ache it gives you a
desire
so there's another concept and the other
concept is
in addition to the meditation in hashem
eliciting from with you a want and a
desire and an ache
to go out of where you are and attach
yourself takata
there was the second idea to actually
bring hakadosh but
into yourself those two concepts are via
online 50 50 and vehicles
online 65. means a want
means the satisfaction of that one
through trade and mitzvos
and that's how the hasidis explains
also meditation means you want love
means a desire as a shaman
with your whole heart with all of your
might
and all of your might means you're
you're you're going out of yourself
you're going crazy and you're one for
aka
so you want and the wand remains
unsatisfied
and the answer is
these words which goes on and on
users to connect us this is the answer
to the
hafta and in this mind man these are the
two
remembras
is going up going above itself is
something is being added to the melech
so there's a notion of al-qayam going
out of itself to connect
there's an alternative notion of
having godliness descend from on high
into it
to empower it to infuse something
additional into it
and that's the holy ones so we're going
to do right now is we're going to read
the first paragraph and the fourth
paragraph
on this page and only afterwards are we
going to read the three paragraphs in
between okay
the first means being
raised above itself the urge the desire
to have a relationship with
to love god and loving god hasidis
always translates the words ava
as want khasir says that the root of the
word ava
is the three letters allah base hey
which is godliness and the the shama
where the hamel contemplates that in
order for it to be what it is has to be
so reduced
and it thinks about the degree of
symptom and reduction
that is necessary for it to be what it
is and he says or she says
i want to become katakana and that's the
via
and of course the behaviors because both
bases
here again you have an allusion to the
fact that we're dealing with never shall
kiss
our bahamas just like in the candles
there's two candles there's two wicks
there's two fuels
similarly here the want that the neshama
has
to connect who affects the animal soul
as well
the animal soul is meant by this in
other words
should have no desire no want other than
him
as the pastor says i have no desires in
heaven
had no desires on earth i want only you
alone and this is interesting because
it means used to say i don't want
ghanaian i don't want to
have i want you and you alone that's
always associated with
means that to each him want and the
animal soul that affects his coffee and
he
very smoothly very very naturally flows
into miliba shamayim
and the love extends all the way until a
person is literally expiring in his one
frag
says this is the kind of taking
taking the world taking the highest of
the world taking the neshama
taking the animal soul and giving it an
urge a thrust upwards my metal
mila i want god and when the godly soul
wants god it drags the animal soul with
it
that's on the bottom up now go to line
65 we'll go back
that when you desire a relationship
with the college the answer is
usually
brings it when you learn terry do
mitzvahs this connects you
and your hamilk is infused with anari
it's not being raised up godliness is
being brought down into it
but he focuses that ever does on the
word
although the words
are the short answer to the question
that the idea is that toyota and
mitsubis brings godliness into the
malach he focuses on the because the
focus on
also carries it over from the godly soul
to the animal soul and the world listen
what is the word hayyam kannot
says this world which is a world of
action today means in the post after
machine comes
ki who only the actions of tayden
mitchells we do before mashiach comes
is amsterdam it draws down god then is
mamish
of the word to connection
today because today we live in a world
of allah says some of action
and of course the actions that we do
affect not only our animal soul but our
body and the world around ourself
action and affecting the animal soul and
the body
and the world around the self is only in
this lowest world and of course
hasidah says in so many places and here
that ebba says it
very concisely that bringing godliness
to the physical level or bringing
godliness out of the physical level
reveals atmos a level of godliness which
is higher than the godliness which is
found
in any and all of the higher worlds
it's more revealed here than up there
because shaheem the higher world
other spousalists they go through a
gradualism the higher worlds they use an
expression for the mind body like for
example pinchas
is they can only take godliness that
they can experience in an internal way
in a
meaningful way and therefore it's been
that says requires all kinds of
reductions
and concealments for the light and life
to reach each of the spiritual worlds in
a way that that specific spiritual world
can enjoy it based on its limitations
and as a result
the true infinity of godliness escapes
them
came to save mice and this world we're
revealing atomos because we're not
experiencing in a way
this world breaks all the world it's not
attempting to perceive godliness
it's just bittling itself to godliness
and as a consequence it's access is a
much higher godliness
it's a revelation of the ancient life
itself which i'll call for the purposes
of this conversation save of government
elements which is not contained to the
descent and the chain reaction of worlds
in other words the tsimsu
associated with god that it needs to be
revealed in a vessel
that can be felt and experienced and
understood by that vessel but rather
it's bringing the godliness down in a
way we don't feel it but nevertheless
it's here in its entire essence
ella it's revealing the whole essence
and the martial that he uses to describe
this
to marshall 8 for example which is
gripping a wick
that is two moments before and after and
there's no gradualism
before it grabbed this week it didn't
exist video sax was a bit of a gosh man
when you grip this physical wick
let's have a ghillie air that light
exists similarly
the amish this essence has no gradualism
it has no steps either it's not here
and if it's here it's here completely
and it's here only in the physical world
so the altar is explaining vahayu
advarim in a way that's similar to the
ahafter
just like in vyahafta he's describing
the urge of the godly soul
that's including also the animal soul
he's explained to haywa
that it comes down to the physical world
with the emphasis not only that traitor
and mitzvahs bring his godliness down
and satisfies the urge of the alakayam
but that it spills over also into the
world
so we translate the malach and we gave
the two translations
of are either illegal america is being
raised or al-qaeda
is being infused with and again i'm
repeating don't forget
that there's a separation between the
godly soul and the animal soul that
is affected by their interface now go
back to line 54.
middle of line 54 those five words
brings another form for the same in
other words he's going to say the same
concept we said until now
but use different words just like we
have alakai in hamelich
we're now going to have the same idea
using different words
gives life to this world now i'm not
going to play games i'm going to tell
you what's going on here okay
melech obviously is the same as the word
hamelech right
obviously is the same as the word alakai
and yachin is the same as the it's
exactly the same concept the words are
different
there's hamalach that means the
abhishek's relationship with the world
and or the nature of hashem's
relationship with the world
which is how he is he sustains the world
in these two forms
and the word represents
affecting a change in the milk you see
that's the idea
but there's two ways one is
and the other is
here's how he explains it line 56 up
the first idea which is
the word
how is one and only separate the kadhi
shall move the
hole separated from all the worlds so
the word yahadi noti has nothing to do
with anything
in order for him to give life to the
world are they comments him soon there's
been many contractions
to be in a relationship with the world
which is called the king
just like we translated the word melech
on the previous page
and the concept of yokid
which is removed is separate from
the concept of
and therefore is there because of this
distance
between
there is an idea of bringing godliness
of
it down that
means the reduced godliness godliness
that's
involved in the world through a series
of reductions
and then we have the second concept
where it says i'm on line 59 now um
the word means hashem is involved in the
world
means how he is the power of the world
the word yakuza between
which makes no sense right
the meaning of this is as follows
even
the idea of hashem giving life to the
world requires an incredible
chimps of manila to be able to be
in in the orbit around the world so to
speak
and this level of melancholic
it's the very lowest level
notwithstanding how much simpson is
involved
in
the life of hashem
which is reduced to sustain the world
continues to be
one with yakida
is by himself
in as much as he's the creator of the
worlds meaning to say
that although the investment of
godliness into the wilderness is so
limited and so to speak so far away from
its source
it remains one with its source the
elastase and therefore
nimshach there is a draw behind
this lower level the godliness which has
been reduced
to be involved in the world to reattach
itself to which source
which is completely removed from the
world which is
so that there should be his laptops a
manifesting
of of yacht as it is removed kardashian
moved to the holy and separate bringing
in the worlds now the language here is
impossible
to understand but the intent
obviously is based on the distinction
between
the previous paragraph and this
paragraph to raise up
even though he says his mother which
sounds again
like bringing down in this case he means
to raise up
almond that the world should become one
with yoghid that vahe nobel masaya gash
me in this physical world
they should be attached to atmos and
again he says the same idea
that we read before in the later lines
there's a connection between the lowest
levels and the highest levels so
although
the investment of hashem in the world is
so low
because in truth it remains one with
yahed we want to raise the worlds up to
the yacht
so in these three paragraphs we
translated
and as being the equivalent of
the infusion of something higher into
alaq
or raising up into something higher
now all of this is spiritual
all of this is happening in atheilus
which would mean in avoiding terms all
this is happening in the natural case
but it's not enough for definitions it
has to happen in the nevisha bahamas or
in other words
it has to happen in the world and that's
the that's the missing link that's the
additional component
in order for the to happen where the
malchus
is either raised up or infused with
something from above it
you need to have a spark an initiator
and that's where the nephesha bahamas
and its sacrifice and its burning
comes in and do the semester next week
