not just for siddhis but understanding
the way
who created the world and that is the
difference between creation of man and
creation of all other creatures
and briefly that ever said the creation
of all creatures was the summer
together with a goof they came out
together they came out as a full form
and and by the way this is one of the
arguments when the
scientists certain scientists have
argued the world is millions of years
old
and the proof is that you take a look at
something that
that that has these fossils and these
rings and all that so
uh one of the counter arguments that
ever brings us as well
is that to begin with it was created
that way so yes it does appear to have
been millions of years old
but because the nephesh and the ruach
this is basically based on what we're
learning
yesterday and learning today it answers
this question because the nephesh and
the
the nephesh and the goof the soul and
the body of all creatures
were created together in full form
therefore what yes if if they weren't
that way
it would have taken millions of years
but it was that way so hashem to begin
with made it that way
conversely man man adam
was created a golem a piece of mud
as jonason so nicely uh corrected us
yesterday
so uh a golem is a is a piece of mud
a piece of mud uh a diamond that's
called diamond silent
right silent but deadly right silent
and then
within this piece of mud a living soul
so the rabbit's question that rashaab's
question at the end was
why did hashem make this difference la
mashina
the word sheena why did he make this
change so the entire
uh paragraph that we learned yesterday
was a an elaborate explanation
explanation explaining the difference
and the question is where we're at now
let's learn the kisser page
219 please turn off your
uh mute yourself whoever is not i think
yakov please mute yourself
it's kitser 219 all hosts
all creations heavenly and earthly
bali guf and nephesh they both have what
we call
a body and a soul
the heavenly hosts the formation of
their
existence are of the elements the more
refined elephant
elements called fire and air
the nature then being
which also includes the their formation
consists of not only the two refined
more refined elements of fire and air
but also
a dust
[Music]
the nature of the way they were created
it is that matter takes
control and overpowers form
that evidence said goof venefish
we have a very uh uh in kabbalah on a
muscle
that's used constantly for soul and body
that is urvakeli
actually all refers to the nephesh the
soul and kaley refers to the goof the
body
massem there are shops at an interesting
point
they match each other it's a it's a
proper donors match
okay the the blood type is the same
who is the one who makes a difference
in the way man goof is created
in comparison to these and all other
creations
is hashem and remember moshe what we
learned yesterday is that's why
that's the meaning and it's very
important when we say in the morning
that word mostly you have to have why
why do we say mostly mafia means it's
wondrous
it's in yiddish the word is it comes
from the german wunderbar
right what's the wunderbar over here
what's the wonder the answer is because
hashem you've made a
u-turn on us or a left turn sheena
you created every creature in this in a
certain way
why didn't you create man that way no
man i'm going to create differently so
this
difference is startling and this is what
we're going to explore now in the next
paragraph
panic base page 219
let's go for all this good
all animals were created in their
posture and their image
versus man who was created
earth dust from the earth
first man's body was created and only
afterwards via hurricane initna
was his soul inserted within the
mud the golem in the goof
says this is not
a negative aspect a point
on the contrary healing hashem did it
as a virtue male users in the word ma
allah
benefit
this fact that man was created from
earth of the dust
dust of the earth murder algae la flores
miles nicholas it denotes
it demonstrates how great the neshama
that hashem gives man is and let's see
what he says
to understand this
[Music]
the four divisions which are the which
divide
call next page 221
which divide all creatures the heim
here are the four divisions they maim
the world of the inanimate
the world of vegetation hi
the domain of the living and finally um
the the the domain of the speaking
he which is the human being
the lowest and is the
what is the inanimate
island the one that's above that um i'm
sorry and the one that's the highest and
greatest
and the most praiseworthy
[Music]
the choicest of creations he name
often you see this therefore
the way the man's body was created
it is different with the change
of material that hashem created man's
body
dust from the earth from
from the or from the the coarse earth
but yeah he said right it's dust of the
earth you can't get any lower than that
it denotes how great soul of man is
but the ultimate of exaltation
you why is this
based on the famous rule
the whole here is the rule hebrew the
whole hakka voyage
whoever is higher yo raid la mata mata
the oyster they fall
lower okay
we see because when you take a wall a
wall that has stones bricks
when the lower bricks of the wall fall
and dismantle
they end up being close to the wall
however
when the bricks on the top of the wall
fall
hey so they fall very distant from the
wall
the whole heavens said and each
brick the higher it is
it falls further away so what's the rule
the higher you are the further you fall
so that's the way it's badass now
is that aspect of the soul that's the
animating one
that makes the person bottom line live
and breathe
the liaison is since
man's soul is so much higher
than any other soul of any other
creation
specifically because we have such a high
need
hashem gave us the most
so in other words we we might think
that wait a minute if we are from the
domain of the living which is the
highest of the four
domains we should have
the most refined body and we find that
we have the most coarse body
right and why is that so the answer that
ashab says
is because we have the highest soul and
the purpose of the soul is to refine the
coarsest of the course i.e the body so
hashem specifically
gave us and not angels and not celestial
beings etc
a coarse body but us he gave a course
body
because we are able to refine it and
they aren't because they don't have
to hide the summer
[Music]
much worse than um
you know undomesticated
animals that tear and and destroy
and they use their their their their
kayak to destroy and hurt people and he
says in yiddish
to make narrow tight uncomfortable
and bad then straighten the other person
they use their god-given talents of
being the human being with the shrama
to hurt and hurt and destroy others
they go they going and they
they rob they steal they rob they stay
they
rob and they murder because
type is not from in order to fulfill
their indulgences
by most people by most of those people
who do this
it's because the
their goof their body is inclined
towards
bed vegeta
and these bad inclinations of the goof
paellas
it makes a bad impact on their soul
very interesting what he says here in
other words the only saying and this is
what i've been
telling you for for years and just spoke
about a motor shabbos in tom's river
where a gentleman spoke about the
russian how he got a russia to do chuva
and i said to him that's wonderful but
why do you have to call them
in khabad we don't know what that word
means it's not in our lexicon
well she says what i mean it's it's a
mission i said i know the mystery too
i don't want to tell him i know the mr
better than he knows the mission i know
the mission
too but the attitude
when you learn siddhis and you learn
tanya
is you you you look at yourself if
anyone's a russian you look at yourself
first you look at yourself and other
people you look with the right eye and
yourself you look with the left eye
and even yourself you shouldn't have
self-deprecation etc then it could have
been
that that ashab says here that
if anything is wrong including murder
stealing robbing hurting cheating
and many of those things that we
discussed in the last two weeks in our
classes moshe
right says what does that happen say
here that's from the goof's perspective
the goof is the
is the cause then the same the summer
that's in this goof that's acting so bad
is not the cause of those bad traits
now you say of course it's not it's not
of course
since the gulf the nephesh unites with
the golf
you would think it's like you know have
to remember patty hearst
from the uh the sympathy said the the
member in the 1970s for those that were
alive and know about it
and she was uh rehearsed the famous uh
newspaper
journalist the founder you know daughter
and she was caught by this cult and
group and
you know enemy and they they brainwashed
her and she became
an agent for them for them
so what what's the nakuda then the
shrama you would think
once it unites with the gulf it
identifies and adapts the culture of the
goof
so if the goof is a cheat and a stealer
and a murderer and everything else
then the shaman's also that way says
that no
no
and what is he saying here what are we
learning this morning
what we're learning is that the goof is
really so much higher
and the high i'm sorry sorry the soul of
a man of a human is so much higher
and that's why he's put into a low goof
into a goof which is
you know a piece of the mud like
jonathan said
and over there make the difference and
that includes being a cheat and being a
murderer
and let me see how you can change the
situation
so it's so contrary to the way the
the way we normally think about the
relationship between
the soul and the body good and bad
another example
their four sons that are asking
questions based at night
russia tom shayna day alicia
let me ask you a question why is the
russian next to the ghost
wouldn't you think the russia should be
number four sitting far away
he's a russian 40 years 40 years i've
been asking that question so you're
gonna get the answer now
you're gonna get the answer it's not my
answer it's an answer everyone knows
and this is the answer the answer is
that the russia
has a good spark in him and the russia
is more animated but as a troublemaker
and therefore
who has the responsibility of changing
this russia
the hakam so we have him right next to
him the time
is sincere is a cadillac doesn't know
any different
right shania day alicia doesn't even
know what's going on right
so those two are kind of out to left
field right
and they're not troublemakers
troublemakers
are right next to the and i told you
what what ramshell broke he was
he used to say he had yeshiva the first
in tel aviv and then originally
only talking about 1950s 60 early 60s
so he would say i'd rather have a wild
beast animal kid than a tame
goody goody because those kids that are
wild
if you work on them they're going to be
leaders one day
and i know and you you probably know
from people who in their youth were very
wild
but when they say who kicked in one of
them in particular i i know that
was very wild in yeshiva he did some
very wild things
and he had to hit this with the rabbit
when he was 18 to 20 or so
20 i think and whoever told him i and he
had an excellent head that ever said
what i want of you is to be a rev
like a rev was in europe and from that
day on he didn't stop learning and he
was my rebbe
and i saw the way he learned till 11 at
night every friday
before he went to make kiddish and he
came into 770 with two
bags full of swarm i saw this you know
because no one else was that came early
an hour before shoppers and my rebbe
walks in and he was tall and handsome
and big and he put down the the two
talasim sacks
full of swarm from let's say on the shop
was like this 4 30 in the afternoon till
11 at night
and then and then his son told me he was
younger but it's still a friend
that he was sitting on a recliner and
wouldn't go into bed all friday night
it would of course doze off sometimes
but otherwise you'll be learning
and he as a teenager you wouldn't want
to be next to him because
it came to a lot of trouble because he
was all full of trouble
so the ghost is placed right next to the
russia that's the answer
so when you have a son or a daughter or
a grandson or granddaughter or a friend
and all that
and the troublemakers embrace them
embrace them because they have the
potential to be gevolic
really devolving outstanding and this is
what that ashab is saying here in
different words
that this the shrub of ours is not the
cause
of the problems the cause is the goof
and the neshama is there to transform
the goof
and the same is true with i always i
probably told you this years ago when i
was 17 or so when we
went under before him on manhattan fifth
avenue
fifth avenue everyone knows fifth avenue
42nd street 45th street
thousands and thousands and hundreds
thousands of people are walking
walking and i'm standing there asking
who would like to put on film
one response is i'm too busy i have to
go to lunch i have to go to work and
they just go further
other responses it's nonsense
it's it's outdated don't waste your time
don't waste my time
which of the two people which of the two
is closer to the
villain the one who fights you
or the one who just laughs at you and
walks on
the one who fights you because the one
who fights you there's something inside
that's bothering him and the other story
that i told you
in the valley in california rabbi yeshua
gordon of blessed memory who everyone
knows about and
learns with him
so it's in the early days in the
seventies he's
20 30 people men and women adults
intelligent
not religious yet are in a room they're
talking about tata and about hashem
about and and josh gordon is the rabbi
that's you know
and there's one guy sitting on the floor
in sweatpants
and the rabbi says yes he says no the
rabbi says hey he says be
he says white he says dark everything
he's arguing with the rabbi
is very bright and the rabbi is thinking
get out of here leave
you're ruining the situation i have all
these captivated people
who want to learn about hashem and about
torah
and we can you know bring them into the
fold and get them started
and you're ruining it and i knew this
person
and he became more fruit than everyone
else
more of a husset a few years later
because he would have some anger inside
or whatever the issue
and he was just giving it out you know
he could control himself
so you have to allow people to to to let
their
issues go out that's the goof the goof
the goof
then the shaman knows how to transform
that
but then hashem has to realize that
that's his job let's go back to the text
please
let's go back to the first question
before you go yes yes
yes i thought about this when
when we were learning tanya
that it seems like the way that tanya
describes a russia
uh is a russia is somebody who's doing
wrong a given moment
that uh and uh
not um you know i guess the majority
of richard are resha right well we call
it russia but
right so that given that how would you
understand
the uh the haggadah uh labeling somebody
in russia in that way
wow especially given all the facilities
here saying about the russia
because yeah what are they doing wrong
but the answer is
what do you mean right right now he's
doing the vera right now he's
the the act the practice the behavior
the behavior is russia not that he's a
russia
his behavior is a russia so in ghazal we
classify someone
whose behavior is a russia as a russia
and uh so he uh so at some point you're
you're looking at him and you're
uh and he's and uh
it's and he's doing something wrong and
that's how you're responding to him
that's right that's right okay
yeah yeah i can i can go with it yeah
okay
back to the tip i apologize i gotta run
but okay
we we know we've been speaking obviously
about we have the goof and then we've
been speaking about
the nephesh uh the navigation bahamas
the netherlands cyclists and that
case and
i i guess i've always been been puzzled
by what were
this difference between
what i just said and now this whole
terminology of
the goof and then the shama in other
words
i've been under the operating of the
assumption under the understanding
you have the goof which is clippers
could be good could you know could be
used for good not
or not you have the nephesh of bahamas
which is driving
the goof animated the goof with its
you know one you know seven layer cake
right or it's a cream right
or good or good rip steaks
exactly well and then you have the
nephesh
which is coming in and saying
you know let's let's let's channel
everything
you know for good etc
so i guess what i'm asking here's my
question my question is
given what i just said and what what
we've been this these these series of
series of terminology how do we
make sense of that and now this whole
concept just
the goof and the shunt okay good
question
and on top of that on top of that one
last thing about the concept of like
this particular person's spoof could be
drawn towards
something and this person's goof could
be drawn towards something
what's that last what's your question
about that
the last meaning i thought
that the i thought the goof was part of
this noga it is and that's the person's
and the bits the person's nephesha
bahamas
which is driving him towards this or
this one's
never shabbat is driving him okay okay i
understand
but the the short answer to your
question is when we're talking about the
goof
we mean after bombings
we're talking about the shaman we mean
officially kiss
in in this i'm glad you brought it up
in this discussion this is an example
in khasidis and i've said this and it's
important to say it again everything is
relative you can't
you can ask but the answer is you can't
compare the two because
it's a different comparison it's a
different set of of
of of of god of laws the discussion here
is
nishama versus guff you're introducing
you're talking about a discussion where
we have never seen the kiss
nefeshabamis and guff that's not the
discussion here
so if you want to look at your scenario
based on what we're learning here the
goof would equal
in other words the animation of the goof
is is oriented towards bahamia's kite
so he's not making he's not making he's
not discerning
between the animation and the goof
he's discerning between the spirituality
i.e
the shama which you would call the
nephilim kiss
and the goof
you understand see you can't you you're
asking a question from
a different discussion which does it's
not that's not the discussion here
and and and it's not a contradiction
it's not a contradiction
here we're talking about the the psuchim
embraces
we're taking the text in its literal way
hashem created a goof and then the
khazal say
golem afar you know talk we're not this
is not casitas this is little this is
tighter you know basic genesis braces
and we're looking at that and then we
have
hashem giving man another verse in the
torah right
so we're looking at the soul we're not
going into now the differences
of what aspect of the soul and what
aspect of the gulf
are are are operating we're not
discussing that we're just making
a generality i hope that's clear
and it continues
from its own perspective is the oath is
is the epitome
of virtue of the so
to reach true spiritual heights
who came excuse me
from the depths of of
of the lowest degradation the level
and it went up to the highest next page
223.
well this is
man has three things that are similar to
angels schleich
man from the perspective of the nature
of his body
and its inclination is like an animal
there are other i'm sure he said
and when a man does an animal act
he's worse than an animal why the bahay
mainly does
an animal doesn't have dust knowledge
the organ
actually does and man does have
knowledge
and conversely
[Music]
from man's perspective of his soul its
inclination
is like the angels
because one can reach the highest
heights of spirituality
[Music]
when man climbs the the the ladder of
knowledge
who gavaya he's greater but
than angels why angels
they're fixed and limited to one arena
to one place called the world of
spirituality man
when they wanted these to the modern
shabbos when the angels said they wanted
the title hashem said to them
hey guys do you guys have a yate sahara
you don't abala
shubaila
nevertheless although man is on earth he
comprehends
and he meditates and reflects on
greatest thoughts of godliness
boy and this meditation upon godliness
impacts him
to have a great desire in yearning the
hidabik bellicose to attach himself to
godliness
therefore are you building yes
man is even higher than angels
because in this avoider
because what does he do yani he actually
elevates
the gosmius so again this is basically
a recap of the whole idea that the
neshama
is specifically higher than angels so
again the commander says
man has three things like angels and
three things like a behemoth
so that our shop is explaining that
really
that's true but really in one aspect
man is is greater than malaria because
malacca because angels
are limited to to
um to the place and domain
you know they're in bet chemist they
don't go to modi
there are modi they don't go to swas you
know
everyone stays put and everyone says
it's not my territory
it's not my responsibility angels
of love are only love angels of rain are
only of rain
angels of of health or health
ask the angel of health do me a favor
would you today
send someone paranoid he says i'm sorry
i can't why can't you're an angel
because i'm limited only to giving rain
and the shrama is not that way on the
summer
what yoni what is
they have a tough kid and they can only
do their top kid
and that's why we are higher than an
angel exactly
no you guys heard it from a good hasidic
student of siddhis you're right that's
what we learned
that's what he says here let's continue
the next paragraph
high timer and because of this
this is the answer to the million dollar
question
that is why man's body
was created in a different form
than the bodies and then then of all
creatures including animals
the goofy and this is why young sin
specifically man's body is
of the most coarse and corporeal and
grub material
of that mud that youngest mentioned
yesterday
because only only man what is the summer
has the kayak to schlep this
grab a goof out of its grub kite out of
its coarseness
and make it a gem a diamond
and been satiated with an energy and a
force
to do that to illuminate the darkness
and not just the ordinary darkness but
the thick darkness
and to transform the darkness of the
goof
into light
because this is the ultimate kavanagh
so heaven the ultimate kavanaugh is to
have
what we have and have a situation and
sometimes you say hashem
why why do you give me such an assertion
why do you give me such a test i i want
to i want to be a servant
i want to do good and and you give me
challenges
and some and are so ingrained in me
whether it's because i was born that way
i was raised that way but the fact is
here is the answer the answer is only us
only humans
are given this nishama
because we have such a coarse goof
and that is why hashem to begin with
didn't give
all creatures such a coarse goof as he
gave us
and this is and the colonies that we
have to live with
and learn whatever challenges we have in
life
we must know they were given to us and
only to us
i i've said it over and over that famous
secret that you must learn of the rebel
in 1976
speaking to the israeli soldiers that
were injured
and they came into 770 being called nike
israel
the invalids of israel on wheelchairs
comes to the barbecue ribbon a hot
boiling new york day in august
and tells them you shouldn't be called
nike israel
you have to change and call yourself
israel the most excellent of israel
they're sitting in wheelchairs and the
rabbis telling them they're excellent
and that ever says yes because it says
in the holy sword and that you're in the
shamas
are from the highest are are are are
higher than ordinary people's
souls and that's why you were given this
challenge
so if if someone you know if parents
are are confronted with having a certain
child
and and and etc etc we don't
look at it in a negative way we're
looking today because that gave us a
higher sleepers
and he and only we can do it not our
neighbors and friends
they have their issues and and and and
when we understand this again if you
learn that sikh and you look at this
the maya mcclamus who brings from
maurizio and this foreign and you start
putting it all together
i i'm convinced it will help many people
in many different ways understand you
know deficiencies and injuries
and all kinds of issues and and then
there's no difference
on the contrary on the contrary it's
higher
it's higher now again to go and look for
that you're not allowed to
that's us or you're forbidden but if
mine
hashem sends you such a sliches you must
know
like we're learning here that you have a
higher the summer and it's not this is
not
you know the rapper wasn't saying it and
i'm not saying it you know to make
someone feel good
this number three this is the fact
you know and and although by the way in
chapter 26 in tanya
when he talks about the curveballs that
we get thrown in bonner
and children's health empire and and um
pannosa dr ebba tackles that issue in
chapter 26
and what's his answer you learn tanya
what's his answer
his answer is that it comes from the uk
it comes from the apple of god's eye you
understand
here i'm not making i'm suffering a
piranha or in health or with children et
cetera et cetera
and dr rabbit says it comes from the uk
thank you very much
hold your uk i don't want this youth
king
if you have an opportunity to embrace
youth gay
that means that there's going to be
blessing in uk you have to find the
blessing
you have to find the blessing and we see
someone
who who who had a a challenge and a
difficulty
and overcame that is much greater
is is is way above a person who had it
easy
so so the all of this is part
of a result of this discussion here okay
so what we're learning here is kind of a
technical issue
but i it it opens up an entire
um important issue in understanding
ourselves and our relationship to hashem
and families
have a good day everyone we'll see
everyone tomorrow mr chairman
bye guys bye bye
thank you
sorry what
right now it's cold yeah
