Zohar - Parashat Shelach - "Eating from the tree of life" - Part 12 - Rabbi Alon Anava

[Music] we are gonna continue exactly where we left off page 159 be deaf goofing on theater would--but we were talking a little bit about interpreting the words and when a sham sent to the spies when a Sherman motions been sent the spies into the land there's the text what Moshe Rabbeinu was ordering them to do and we're taking that text and then explaining it and a little bit of a twist so very briefly what we were talking about when it says send for yourself spies men so that's to investigate and really the word look to is not to investigate but rather to go and to check out as they say he says no it's referring to the world above because if a person would no guarantee no question no doubts what's waiting for him in the world above or after this life his way he how this person would conduct his life would be completely different but we don't really know what's going on up there we have an idea we try to believe so she M says why don't you go and check out what's going on up there that will be a pretty big key to your way of thinking and how you will conduct your life you would think 50 times before you do something so when the text says go and search the land go and investigate the land so we explained it that's going investigate the world to come the spiritual world and we were talking about no one I really repeat and video is recorded you can see the rerun the rerun the recording but now we're we stopped in the middle so now I learned a new term that living somebody on the cliff or whatever it says cliff anger so we left you on the cliff again we stopped by saying three words hamish we Malia remember and he says go and look at the land and check out the nation that is dwelling or sitting on her on the land and we concluded why did he say three ways to check and three letters because the that said he came the righteous people who go to Canada and he defined it as sure ensuring they're standing in rows bacala with great honor and respect from the world above bikini Lane in different different levels but in high levels this is where we concluded now we're gonna continue in the line starts with her Kazak who have a faith when it's text says go and look at the relation that is they're looking for the nation is strong or if the nation is weak that's physically what the spies were looking but he says it okay let's look at in a different way but FMO is a Hooley whole high-cut at-at Kofu and yet solely on whatever all a common see if the righteous person then that they gain and they work and they get all this honor in their respect I mean one day will happen that we're all going to meet in the world above and we might have nametags and we'll be like reunion from the high school Oh few years ago my egg great I don't know you're cold you see my grade my class we all turned 40 so not that I'm forty was five years ago but so they made a class reunion class in the high school where I was there was 25 classes but it was the whole class so whole grade so they made a reunion so what did they do they made a Facebook group and they added everybody into the Facebook group and everybody started posting pictures from trips from parties then so I started posting pictures and everybody was like who are you and I was like what do you mean Who am I I'm the one who punched you in your face every day what do mean Who am I so so nobody could everybody's like what yo so little bit literally the Bart Simpson of the school I was like the the one was the screws were not tight in there and then I'm coming like with the beard and nobody recognized me so why are we saying that in Xiamen we're also gonna have a high school reunion hey now in this world we see a beard in a yarmulke and all this we think it's fire city individuals and then we see the ones that we don't really give them much credit the world about suddenly you'll see like whoa you yeah so we are gonna have some type of a reunion and that's Andy Kim the realtor became they're gonna give a lot of honor and respect but why me Komachi de bourree Tom because they're able to overpower and overcome their desire there yet sell their inclination now not only that overpowered it the Shabbat or they broke it it's a big level Clemmie or is it min Shiva Karim Karim Babu as devata hate what is the reward is the fact that they prevented from sin now as devatta heads is not that I'm stopping myself from sailing is that when I have a sin that I repeat it and then I let go if I do a once-in-a Munson okay happen you know moment of weakness you didn't notice what's going on show gig my mistake but many of us have some sins that are a habit and it's repetitive and you know it's a sin and you know it's bad and you know it's gonna dig to you a bit to go to genome you can't leave it because you're really stuck there but finally after years finally you're able to make some type of a maneuver and with great assistance from above you leave the sin this is called as devata hit that I left the sin this is kind of equivalent to a drug addict that goes to rehab and he lives the drugs you know what for 20 years he will be clean he will tell it tell you that he's a an addict I'm an addict yeah clean for 20 years but I'm an addict why because it's always there any given moment that can fail again same thing here sometimes we are addicted to sins but nevertheless when you're able to leave the same this is called a savatya hit then I left it after 20 years then in the world above this is very high level allah saying it's not that they had to also only a overpower their desire that's one thing you know i told you i we spoke about yesterday about the schmira tonight the guarding of the eyes which is really the problem too the key to all the problems if you know regard your eyes then you don't put yourself in dangerous situations by default your thoughts will be pure by default you'll be able to guard the blades by default you'll be able to be Kailash because you're guarding the eyes sending with the mouth by the way you know regard your mouth what did we just read before in P like Sheila show me the people show no show me room it's a lot enough show this is one of the first rules that I was taught when I became observant show male people as you know the one who guards his mouth and his tongue show Mohammed Jawad nafion is guarded from the from the problems that come and will afflict his nephew so kidnap keynotes here it says lawsuits in Houla de bernalillo um now that they had to get to overpower the yet you know to overpower the answer of the desire the inclination is also simple to walk in the street and you see something right in front of you and you like your head goes there but the I let go let go and put the eyes down it's gonna pass it's nothing important there but to overpower your head say oh you need to be a very powerful individual the point that the Mishna says a zoo Agee bull who's a Gebo a hero shake over she did so it is over to overpower is itself called the hero but here he says it's not that he's only referring that he was able to overpower the itself you know that's that's easier said than done but many of us can overpower the itself a hundred times but the hundreds and once time the yet sir I will come with uh I don't know how you say the there was a hook right I just say it that's how you going for the whole poof you're not even noticeable annual and you're on the floor but L as the hula Lima Bucky Bolivian bleeeh the ones who married to the world above it's because there was a lot of hard work to be able to live the sin Oh God at kokuboro writer Lima Lima Yamamah V Lila now one type of reward that we Gordon weird in the world above is when you leave the sin and a shame knows exactly what's going on don't think you can fool anybody and especially not a shame and don't think that something's wrong with you by the way if you have a certain habit or a certain sin or a certain desire because no shrim gave it to you to see if you can overpower it not because you're sick or because you're bad or he's punishing you same says here is that i want to hear the yetzer are now let's see if you overpower it but this is one type of reward that you overpower your desire here he says no no there's also another type of reward that you receive a reward in the world above why because you were going from strength to strength in the Torah to work it says the word last soaked Aramaic it says Attica for at Kafue is that you are you dealing with it like a business si is a business that your total eyes your business you know it's not like a side job but that the Torah is part of your life when you deal with it over day and night all day long and the Torah is your life you attend classes you come to mean your name you constantly focused on every little haha that you learn the little eyes your life it's a business why is it says business because when a person is an employee it cares about nothing comes at 9:00 does his job five o'clock and three seconds nothing there but the bar lastic they pay the business owner if there comes the 4:00 in the morning leaves the ten o'clock at night every mistake here can cost him a lot of money same thing that is to be dealt like a business so when a person does the Torah business then he also gets a huge reward because it's not so easy to be devoted to the Torah it's very easy to put a makan but it's very hard to be devoted to the Torah but devoted real devoted so he says that's also a type of reward that one will get in the world to come or another one e al boo ya de hoy Meena Bazaar cool whole hai even or another option is that a person doesn't let go from the Torah sometimes a person I know many people like that listen it's all of us at some point we have the desire we have the will we want but it's like you know you go two steps forward boom four steps back four steps forward 10 steps back doesn't matter what you try to do it's like the answer lies like a heavy load can't it's like wearing you off at some point and what is the it's a what is the advice don't go you're gonna fail five thousand thousand times but the real failure is when you let go if you don't let go you didn't fail you fought that's a huge difference between failing and fighting now there's a very good chance that in your fight you're gonna lose a thousand times but you know when you really lose when you let go from the fight if you didn't let go from the fact you're not loser you are a fighter so he says here another great reward is when you are a fighter you have to engrave it in your mind I am NOT a loser because it's uh excuse me he's such a I can't say all sorts of not nice words oh boy Marsh McGee he knows how to kick you in your private parts on the floor now he laughs at you that you're on the floor I mean you'd fight dirty and then you're laughing at me and then he will spit on you and kicking you when you're on the floor that's there that's how they it works so he's gonna call you a loser when you're on the floor and you know what most people believe it yeah I'm a no good for nothing I tried and try to try it didn't work but the point is to understand that the you are a loser when you're the second that you don't want to fight anymore I can't do this anymore that's where you need a real good personal trainer to tell you you're not you're not a loser you are a fighter and don't don't stop fighting because the fight was gonna take another 40 years by the way I don't think that's there that you're gonna stop here or in a few weeks that you're done with the fight so you have to already program in your mind I'm not a loser I'm a fighter and the fight is gonna be till the day I die by the way till your last breath you are a fighter so it's giving us a few options how do you get a reward in the world to come and real the real reward is when you fight you don't let go you you you you do your job so he says is even if you lose but don't go now he says Bechet motto montjuic a silicon is but now one one can say let's say I somehow figure out what's going on in Canadian but one can say Who am I to go in together when I became observance and I would look at other people and I would be like wow I'll never be like them no cuz they pray and how they it's it's like a how do you say they make it look easy needless Nick the little did I know that the external looks very pious but the inside was not that great but nevertheless I would look now but like I'll never be in that level I will never reach such a level so it says Mishimoto Mancha Kasia Lincoln is BA maybe you have a doubt and that's another doubt that this I was gonna tell you no no let me step back yeah there's no chance you're not getting it if you Hakka Hadean but also Himalayan only very few people in the generation will merit to go into Canadian so it says as follows here please pay attention how may I do in Roth and then this is the text from the Torah that Moshe up in hotels the spies go and search the land see the nation that is dwelling on the land and what's the first thing this says haha Zaku Hanafy is he strong or is he weak now we just now explained what's the nation the dwells in Grenada who are the ones who get a dwells in Canadian the one who is strong in the fight well the one who's weak in the fight don't count the sins count the success don't count how many times you fail count how many times you succeeded because you're gonna fail a thousand times one time you were able to overpower that's it you are considered a winner and throughout the way you are a fighter it doesn't matter if you lose so many times this is ha ha ha ha fa are you strong how many punches can you get you fall down you get up fall down get up at the point is that you get up not to stay on the ground so he's mateschitz a he's saying a cos a kind of way are you strong or are you weak now what's the next thing that he said because a lot of people say I'll never be in the this pious and we'll go into Grenada neshama Lucia so he takes the text and he says how many are two is he a little bit o half or a lot and again when we're looking at the text Marshall have been knocked all the spies look at the nation now there are lots are they're gonna outnumber us or there a little bit because if they're a little bit the fight will be easy which is not always the case sometimes a lot lets her they're not necessarily stronger what is he saying here in other words he says a high no he's sagging in - Todd Luba pull honey if there are many many pious people many minutes that they came that would really work hard and try to follow the Torah Ma'at keyfob alright they begin the Zaku Nicole hi and they would get stronger and stronger in the Torah why bish fishes the hula holes that because they earned it enough if this is the case lower your beta decay maybe there won't be so many Siddiq him why Shelly knez but because it's hard to get into Canadian saying in other words David Icke Shatila me do Torah guarantee to you when you're gonna learn Torah the ocean bottom camel a female of Avadh said Hakeem from day to us of him Megan Adam if you learn Torah you will learn to see that there are many people that are in a level of what Sadiq and I'm not talking about now Abba Shimon bar Yohai talking about us that we can easily get to a level of what Sadiq if you work hard but there are many something is a little bit that one can say you know only the Baba sali of the generation he has a ticket to Grenada who says maybe you can do I told you already Sadiq I'm not talking about that it said he came the real said became a bishop on bar Yohai the Rijeka - and so forth as simple people can also be called Cindy Kim why because if I win the case gets at so they covered in I I won the case so I'm at so dick I'm at Sadiq besides if you remember last year we would learn they a little bit of the teachings of will be lamella from visions from the normally minute and he and I always kept referring to everybody and said Akeem and I kept saying he's talking about us he's not talking about other said became that's how he would talk he would talk as refer to us as a static so just no no Bashar I'm here so it's not in the heavens this is something you can achieve now if you believe in yourself you can reach to higher levels if you think for the beginning there's no chance and you'll you're marking yourself as a loser saying in other words to conclude to conclude this paragraph it's on your mind if you say in your mind either I'm not saying it's gonna be our easy but I can get there why would something stop you from getting there this is a mind frame of the winner I'm not giving up now we continues my eyelids what is this land that you are going to look Hashmi nahi is it fat or it's not the right word SHhhh Mina shmouna in Hebrew is fat but SH Mina really comes is it further is that the thick is it the rich come from Chaminade from shoe man from luscious and big I am Reza maybe it's skinny and worthless and again this is the text from the Torah and Moshe Rabbeinu tells the spies hush Mina here as is is there an abundance there or is it like a skinny land like some place in Africa that there's barely anything going on there I know meaning I know means it means meteorite at Tintin day own from the Torah you will know what is this land and when it's saying the word land is talking about Canadian I know ma who Alma what is this world I know Canada Lenny Kravitz a Haman what is this place that we're striving to get Canada but this ganon this is the land of the living you know that this is not the land of the living by the way we are in the land of the dead the world above is the land of the living we're dead here so again it's all reversed now it says Maho are now what is this world above this is Canadian this is called the land of the living II ask a TiVo Allah Allah hava elliot waha if a person has a lot of cassidy getting a lot of kisses from the world above email purchases they'll only remember if a person gets a lot of classes from the cosmic kindness the ones who are dwelling there o er0 mini Klum or the person doesn't get any tested from that the the righteous people get in Canadian you can only experience the kindness and the tested of the calash before you want to see is the land up there fertile or maybe it's better to say in an abundance or not if they said Akeem get a lot of kindness from the collage people then it will be an abundance there our quest right now is what goes on in the world above because if I'm going to be convinced what's going on in the world above that will totally change by the way of me looking in this world let's just do another paragraph how are we doing this is another paragraph and see how we can continue hi ash by eight so I is there a tree there or not if you remember we started the my mouth that Moshe table and I wanted to know if there's a tree he wasn't referring to an apple tree he was referring to the Tree of Life Moshe labayda wanted to know if the Tree of Life is in the Land of Israel if the Tree of Life is in the Land of Israel he knew that he's going to go in if the Tree of Life is not and terminal and he knew he's not going to go in and we elaborate on that in the first classes I don't want to continue but nevertheless is quoting now the text is there a tree there or not what's interesting is that he says hi Ashba it's is there a tree there technically should it say or law or not but it says a mine is there a tree or eine ein this is a very high level in katusha hokhmah may I intimate a hokhmah which we counted as the highest of all spirit underneath Kiev where , come from from a high spiritual place it's called ie a place of nothingness so he says is there a tree in the Land of Israel or maybe there's I mean there may be a high level a greater level of Sheena saying in other words and of course when it's talking about the land we're talking about Canada her ETA Ilana the high Allah Allah Allah Allah may Allah mine is there the tree of life in there that I can infer mate for eternity because what do we eat in this world what is how do we sustain ourselves in this world we need food so if I need to eat something in this world Adam and Kaaba were commanded to eat trees not like in our generation that people eat hamburgers salmon , they ate from Colette she began eat from whether you find any tree you find there eat just don't eat from that tree but don't go out and start making yourself Arabic use and fishing and also some other creatures you know even at the beginning till the flood of Nob damn nobody was they allowed to eat meat after the flood of Nob they were allowed to eat meat and they're also allowed to eat fish before that they weren't even allowed to eat fish only because the fish had a little bit of a merit because they survived in the water then they had so to say what's the opposite of superiority inferiority inferiority of humans so they were allowed to be eaten by Adam but really the original menu was fruits and that's what's gonna happen very soon my machine comes by the way don't think you're gonna have steak houses when mushiya comes better to start getting ready for it now and I know the people argue on that because they say so how is that be gonna be if if we're saying we're gonna become vegetarians in Russia comes but we know we have a better Mukesh and Bentham Akash is gonna be sacrifices so what he's saying the sacrifices are going to be cancelled so first of all in the beginning we're still gonna have animal sacrifices but in later days of mushiya the sacrifices will remain but they're going to be the Asian sacrifices so late mean ha oil solid means the mmm flower a mean ha also the different grains chemin will be oil so we're not gonna have any animals anymore and I mean we learned that from a bazooka a lot of people say where do you bring this from so the original state was grenade in its and how do we say that Michelle's gonna come with a general again I didn't weekend and bring us back to how it was originally in gonna then when when my when we used to send my kids to school they used to teach in there and mushiya comes they're gonna eat treats there's gonna be a lot of treats and they're gonna be on the trees so my kids things are gonna get lollipops or whatever it is and I kept telling them no the fruits that are gonna be growing on trees they're gonna be such treats you know you're gonna taste an apple I mean we're gonna go crazy from the taste of the fruit that we're gonna pull from the trees I'm gonna it's not gonna look like ditch that fruit now last year I was in America and I I had a day where I took a lot of meetings so the lady that was getting doing all my meetings we kept telling her bring me a cup of water and told her bring me a lemon she says well lemon since I want to put lemon in their cup in the water and then I would squeeze the lever until I could give me another lemon and she was like why says these lemons they don't have tastes you know the lemons in America all the fruit in America like plastic here in Israel I take I put three drops oh no you're like so really the fruit what we have even now it's it's empty Michelle is gonna come out there I need me Matsu can far Madonn is like like a treat it's like delicacy so it says ma Danny me Masuka foul delicacies are going to be as a available like the ash the dust on the floor why because how many trees do we have now you know as we live probably a few hundred right types maybe even more and I'm not a what I'm not what but awesomeness whatever so I don't know how many trees they are now many trees but how many trees bear fruit a few dozens when Michelle's gonna come old if all the trees are gonna bear fruit all the trees that are now I think it's called barren trees that's how at least it's called in Hebrew barren trees that don't bring fruit all the fruits all the trees are gonna have fruit just imagine how many new species we're going to have so modern emits a Masuka foul the leg delicacies everywhere we're just gonna go and pull out something and it's gonna be like unbelievable taste so going back to what we're talking we're totally sidetracked from the excitement from very soon instead of going to the supermarket and with a plastic card where gas is gonna go out and pull through two of the trees and that's it like it was originally Megan Eden because now it wasn't Gannett and originally so I don't know how we got to the trees but we were talking about that motion I've been I wanted to know if there's the Tree of Life here he takes it to a twist I'll read again ha each bar Ilana de calle la alum all a Almay almond is there the Tree of Life in there that whoever eats from it would live for eternity oh that would be kind of cool to live for eternity no saying in other words in Mirabeau here razzy unpin anak lights like internet and what is shining there is the shine of 0 and B shining there which does a ramp in is called it same or each of all of the high-ish takapa gamma or or that ha special ohm is the opposite over there because I told you really this is the land of the dead up there is the land of the living it's not fun all this whole death thing so he is wanting to know he's taking it to a different place is the Tree of Life shining in the world above or the manhood because the manhood is limited shine saying in other words vets shada what what is the the acronym of EDS iron Sadiq it means let's say o hinting to us either you have it or whether you have to either you have a net which means the tree which blossoms and grows or Tello means the complete opposite to hint on both of them in love if there isn't if there isn't the shine maybe there's no shine there do you see any shine over here and I'm not talking about the shine of the Sun I hate Allah a godly revelation so he wants to know if there is or isn't because in this world is barely any godly revelation in the world above there is a godly revelations called daheia a godly shine so he concludes here and this is where we're going to leave us again on a cliff the research that one needs to do is what is the spiritual shine that is in this world compared to the world above and the reason why he's saying that by the way because many people say let me live let me enjoy my life oh I don't believe that there's a life after let me enjoy every moment here it was a very limited way of looking at the universe by thinking that I'm only here for 67 years but this is one way of limitation a lot of people they don't realize that I'm not here to a tour in the physical world I'm here to prepare the world to come and every moment here I can pave the way to a better place in the world to come for that a person needs to take that every moment here is is a diamond I saw wants the slogan that it says something about I don't remember something something living in the past living in the future but living in the present is a present yeah a gift because every moment here that you are wasting do you you could have grabbed something smart people they take advantage of their time in this world because the present is again if living in the past I don't remember how the slogan wind it was pretty it was pretty smart yesterday's history tomorrow's a mystery and the right now is a true gift that's why it's called the present beautiful so not to be stuck on the past not to ponder on the future live in the present and the present is a moment that you can grab a mitzvah ojas fish alone dig yourself a hole that you lose you retire a llama bah with rung one wrong syllable one wrong word you can mess up your entire eternity so focus on the present what can I do in this prison how much listen can I do how much kindness can I do how much Torah can I learn how much I can apply something in this world because you don't know when it's ending this is literally we are walking in a field of diamonds Hashem is telling us just grab whatever you can grab and grab you're grabbing diamonds here at some point these diamonds are going to be shining for eternity so we gotta really focus on what we're doing here don't waste your time or nonsense some people sit in front of a computer screen for hours why are you did you lose there you lost your life that's what he does it's like a vacuum cleaner and it sucks people in so you gotta really be focused on every moment and and and live in the moment to understand how much you can achieve it's not the same with that Bement we win we win haolam about their life the eternal life of the world to come Abby Fannin have any cash on me ah ha kadosh before is the code it is well if you're not able to vomit vote shana Veronica Fitzsimmons it go disco [Music] [Applause] [Music]
