so we're learning Today Chapter hey payday K and Tanya page Tess nine although it has only the Hebrew page tests so the altareba in chapter four taught us that the the the actual title Mitzvah study of Titan doing of Mitzvahs has God himself and his very essence there so if someone asks where can I find God the answer is do a Mitzvah learn Toyota you have him but the way down to that the way the alternative expressed himself is by citing a piece of Zaya akadish and desire says less machava Trisha Bay this is on page nine up in chapter four like about seven lines now the um the uh it's the words start with lace makshaba Trisha Bay one cannot grab him clown at all okay you grab them through title mitzvahs now in chapter 5 Dr Pepper says wait a second what is this language grab God yesterday we explained at the end of chapter four about hugging I named the video yesterday hugging the Hasidic way or hugging the Tanya wave but what's this idea of grabbing God it should have said if sir in the Zaya Avi please meet yourself it should have said lessig Bay no thought no individual can comprehend God because God is beyond comprehension that would be the normal way of expressing the same idea seemingly but desire doesn't say that desire says the word fisa grab no one can grab God the word grabbing in this context doesn't make sense let's now go chapter five where he explains what the idea of grabbing grasping Hashem means you understand please mute yourself pay the Kate a taste was being bad haters into into it additionally Josephus be a traditionally explained behave native very well lotion threesome the word Teresa grab um that particular statement and desires said by Ellie Yahoo and he quotes what it says no thought can grab him Etc is being this requires more explanation and and he doesn't say he doesn't say what I said in in Tanya outright but that's the shot that's the meaning the word should have been less much be no thought can understand it that would be conventional normal Hebrew syntax and language of in Zion and Jewish scholarship into the Jewish writing and liturgy it doesn't say that fisa very unusual so that's why Dalton episodes we need to add explanation and what does he say he may foreign now he was gonna be like a little poetry here Seiko Moscow muscul so you know write down as we go along the meaning of each word if you can so hopefully you won't get confused and and get you know mixed up as you say it he may behold Kohl's all every intellect all intellect ual with intellect comprehends when when the intellect does its job which is the job of comprehending and understanding with its intellect is a muscul now you have another word Moscow so muscul is not Seiko and muscles in other words Moscow means the idea when the brain proceeds to comprehend an idea a musko an idea but it's an idea that's associated with intellect so that's why it's called musco at that time the intellect typhus as a Moscow it grabs the idea the brain grabs the idea it wraps itself around the idea umakifa and it surrounds it basically with its intellect it was intellect so let's say now you're hearing me explain this Tanya your brain is working now what is your brain doing right now your brain is wrapping itself around the idea that I'm sharing with you that's what's happening right now School and the idea at the very same time nitfas it is grabbed grasped someone please turn who's over there oh please I'll turn yeah thank you thanks a lot and the idea nitfus is grasped is grabbed um and is surrounded by umelobush and is enclosed by foreign within the idea within the cycle in other words what's happening at right now when you are listening I am expressing an idea you're listening to it so our brain right now is grabbing the idea but the idea we don't understand yet so on one hand it surrounds it it hears it and the idea is being grabbed so there's a combination of a grabbing a grasping and by the brain and being and the idea of being grabbed so there's two things working at one time the brain is working and the idea is working the brain is trying to process what's being said and the idea is allowing itself to be processed what is the manner in which it it's being done in a way of machiv it's surrounding it because it doesn't yet understand it well let's continue the game now here comes the God and also additionally at this very time that this is taking place now you see here changes from the word makif surrounding and use the word melubish it's invested when you talk about investing you're involved right just like an investment you get involved you're giving of your money to an investment or you invest yourself in the behavior or an action so Dr Lambert says not only is is is is my mind being surrounded by an idea as though the mind is not there but also the mind to stay home is invested in the idea Bishop Shema at a time when it comprehends IT the type should be sick light and grabs it with its mind with its cycle in other words there is the beginning point the beginning point is I don't know this idea so we start learning chapter five and my dolphin is sharing with us the Alton episodes so the first thing is it's hovering over you then as you delve into it and you study it and you think about it at while the idea is hovering then it's already becoming more internalized so the word another word for malubish would be internalized and now Dr Debbie gives us an example okay Derek Marshall by use of analogy when a person studies and comprehends a certain a certain law the mishna in the missionaries means thoroughly okay those three words in Hebrew in English would be one word thoroughly when you study something in the mishna of Gomorrah thoroughly about also means to know it very well but thoroughly I think is one is an English word that expresses that same idea to know it properly one's brain grabs and surrounds the the idea the halacha that's being learned in the mission not only does it grab it from the outside but it invests itself it it internalizes itself but ASA Shaw at the time in other words the process of saying of learning of understanding any idea from Jewish to not Jewish at this point any idea secular or Jewish content is the process of makif and primi surrounding and internalization initially it starts off where it surrounds you it hovers over you it buzzes you wow this is a great idea and then you say but I don't understand it even if I'm a good parakeet and I can repeat what's being said I myself cannot explain it and because and the proof is you come home and your wife says so what did you learn you'll listen and you say oh we learned things fantastic but I just don't have the words that means that you don't have it then there is where you could that you actually process it in your own with your own brain Hillel and then you're able to say it over in your own words that that's what we call internalization panemias or in this case melubish so the alteneba says that at the very same when you study something and you're studying it thoroughly you're accomplishing both things of wrong you're accomplishing on one hand that there is there is uh an idea that hovers over you and at the very same time the use of your mind to understand it thoroughly shows that you're internalized with it he's still under muscle drama is still in the parable look to this everyone turn your page to page 18 top of the page whatever the law is in the gamara is the wisdom and the will of God it ascended and God's will for example ruvane will complain argue right position so and so that muscle using the parable will say no no no it's this way in this way comes the mission and the mother and they say yeah the ruling should be so and so that's what we find in the mission right when you learn says and even if this never happened motion and it never will happen this particular scenario that will come to such and such ruling of kindness with Fearless using the particular argumentation and positions that Reuben and shipment use mikoma came nevertheless even though it never happened it never will happen since this piece of mishnah and this commuter is said in the mission of the mother it is the wisdom and the will of Hashem God almighty that's that if he argues like this is that and the other one argues like this the ruling should be so and so so when a person studies this and comprehends this particular piece of missional gemara with his mind sat there this particular ruling he learns and studies it as it is a set law in the mother I priced him more than the authorities had his massive Victory face he comprehends and he grabs omakive and he surrounds basically with his brain hold the will and wisdom of God the less reason no thought can grab him but no thought can grab it so without that was saying is like this important when you learn a mishna when you learn a good mother and you ask yourself this is not relevant it's never happened or it never will happen it's like a scenario it's hypothesis so Dr says a hypothesis of the mission of the gamut if that's what it says in the mission of the commodity that means it's the will and wisdom of God when you learn that even though it's not reality it's got established it it's his will of wisdom for whatever reason I'm not now we're not now looking at what might be the reason why we talk about the iranidakas the city that that has to be destroyed when did that ever happen that album writes that didn't happen so why is the Taylor speaking about it because it could happen but it didn't so the answer here is explaining it makes no difference if it's in the title and if Ruben would have would have argued so and Sherman would have argued so the halacha says this would be the scenario to suck the ruling that is Taylor and therefore when you learn this and your mind grapples with it to understand it you have your your you have Hashem in you and you say who and that's really the answer to why spent time in a Yeshiva right when you go to a college I mean you guys know better than I if somebody went to college or whatever but you know you're learning courses geared towards getting a degree towards using that for your partners right here you learned to murder mishna right how many people become rabbis how many people become Russians how many people are using their daphayomi every day in their business phew so what's the point and what's the answer Scott's Taylor that's without the saying here but it's saying it here in a in with more depth the more depth is your mind your sejal is is is at the time of learning data it's an eternal an eternalization of God within you and you within God and that's why the Russian the word fisa grabbing is used and not just understanding what's the answer to the question I've run what's the answer to the to the autorabba's question the beginning of the chapter why is the word Teresa used by Ella Yahoo no thought can grab you Kim rather only when you grab Toyota Mitzvah and the question was why don't we use the conventional word understand God because that's what it means because the and the answer is because it's a much it's much deeper than understand just understanding it's a process in which your mind is wrapped up in it and it's wrapped up in you total a total bonding and that's symbolized by the word fisa I grabbed it you know you say my I understand it it doesn't mean yet it's you plenty of people understand things that they do just the opposite but when you say he was grabbed by it or he grabbed it the the meaning is much more it's deeper it's internalized that's who you become says how does that happen we're not it's not Abracadabra it happens because the Seiko the mind that's being used to understand this piece of the murder or mishnah that might have never happened and never will happen these particular arguments nevertheless if it's in the mission of the gemurrence God's Will and wisdom and you are studying it so you have God even though it's not going to get you a degree and it's not going to help you in your job makes no difference right to the father one second so the son comes home and you're going to sin and and the father says to him this in the 40s repost Holocaust this is the the anecdote what are you learning in Yeshiva thanks money to have you you know you can go to public school and he sends them to Yeshiva I'm learning about one cow gorying Ox scoring another ox and the question is do you pay 50 to 100 full rights he says that's what you're learning about here's money settle the case and let's talk about something more relevant yeah if that's the way you learn a piece of gamara and a mishnah you're not going to last too long at it but if you learned the way drab explains it here that this is God's will so there's no difference between this and the application of it in daily life of using your learning for let's say you study about the Sun and the Moon that that section of the gemara and then you do astrology and you say I can understand based on the gemurrah how the astrology strategical system works and all of that no even without that this is God's will yes my shirt oh no you understand you wanted to say something yeah I cannot be understood how can we understand Hashem went a gift when he gives the dogs in the code maybe we can understand struggle is that an additional place or is that not the point at all that um yes it it is but it's it's it's yes it is but it's it's more to how in other words what you said basically is what the zionic other says right you don't you don't need down to remember for that that's my point you don't need doubt the rabbit what is Delta Debra trying to what is he teaching Us in chapter five so so what you would what I would answer your question you understand is what you said is what desire says adding what's the method that this happens and and and and and and one has to know that when they study Theta with their brain not just you know it feels good or as we've discussed you know oh what's the bottom line but the understanding of data that when you when you when you use your brain to understand this as we say soon there's a yehud that's beyond anything else and that may and and and it's because the mind is simultaneously working to understand and being understood that is an intellectual process that's taking place so and that's and this explanation is not in desire this isn't Tanya let's continue [Music] okay um but Lily we're eight lines from the top of the Lord now did I belong to their bads sorry it isn't in God's Will and wisdom kiem rather when is the will and wisdom perceived and grabbed be slapped when they're invested in the laws that are arranged for us God's Will and wisdom comes through the laws someone will say I perceive God on a Mountaintop or in a deep valley okay very nice maybe yes maybe no but one thing's for sure when you learn Tata the perception of God is there for sure in other words if you use your mind is there for sure even if you're not turned on or turned off or in the mood because this is God's data that's what he says here is invested in it now now the next words are the most famous words of chapter hey and many places to see this refer to it The Who this idea says it's a wondrous Unity means wondrous this mind exercise that the alterepa described to us until here it creates a wondrous Unity there is no such Unity if you like nothing that even comes close and it's a cloud that's found at all but gosh we is in the physical world that creates unity and bonding that's mummish that's actual it's real because every angle and side from every side and Corner inside the side the penis corner that everyone's explained this and if I'm playing it what is the alternative adding over here this is what he's adding a normal idea a mathematics and science whatever a normal idea of Seiko it's not infinite it's finite the fact that I'm not an Einstein there is an Einstein and Einstein was able to perceive an idea in a certain field to to its end goshness anything that's Abram with gas me youth physical material even if it's not tangible but it's in the world of of of kashmias the world of of physicality has a beginning a middle and an end and that applies to intellect too so to say that is infinite it's false it's not true it's finite to say that numbers can go zeros and zeros and zeros and never end is false it's not true because they are all a combination of one one plus one plus one plus one plus one so as soon as you begin Maisha listen to this as soon as you begin with a limitation with a number that itself is its limitation how can you have something Limitless infinite from something that begins as being finite the two don't equal finite is not Infinity everything has a beginning and it has an end which by the way is an argument to support global warming getting off on a tangent for a second except that says in the Tita that the a booster instilled his kayaka insof his infinite power in certain things so that they are Everlasting I.E the Sun the moon because according to Nature they should burn out the Sun for dry up or end so when the scientists say that the world Nature has to end by a certain year right that's true from the natural perspective but God instills and inserts in the National surface the in his infinity and therefore it can go on endless because it's infinite not because of him not because of us so global warming could be a reality if you look at it from nature but if Hashem says the world will continue and it will never burn up and never end because that's what I want and I'm infinite the world will be that way so what's that but but but but if you strip God from it the infinite God then the world has a limit because gosh means all of gosh means there's a limit like I told you last week you wanted to share him that death doesn't begin when you're sick and dying it begins at Birth why because when you're born you weren't here before and now you come into the world that means there's a beginning to you and if there's a beginning there's an end and the end and the end starts at the beginning so therefore accept it that's part of the way they must have made the world what is doubt that ever say here here he says when it comes to Taylor it's different it's an amazing because Taylor is really infinite because God is entitled so when you learn a piece of gamara it's the same piece of commodity you learn hey there and as a young teenager and as a person Yeshiva and as a dafa yemi person it's the same piece of gimbara [Music] why because the gamada is infinite because it's God's good mother if it was Mankind's give mother talmud like some argued oh you know the talmud they were people sitting around this fast and the Galileo and Maisha sits and Drew us from his beautiful window the the mountains they they saw God from sitting over there very nice they're human beings they're human beings so it's a they die they end and what they teach ends what's the mistake of that argument which was 40s and 50s and conservative movement that was one of the arguments is that that's from the perspective that Taylor is is humanity but from the perspective of real Taylor that Taylor is God arise it's so that piece of commodity is not just a piece of commodity that a man made up that's that's the counter argument my to the conservative type of thinking so the fact that we don't have carbonus today and they argued in the 50s in at jts and other institutions remove that from the Thriller from the amida it's a waste of time we don't bring sacrifices so remove it from the amida remove it from the davening and and so of course we know what that led to we're taking out another part another part because it's not happening all of that is a logical sequence sequential argument which is logical the problem is tell you to transcends logic and that's what Dr Nepal says here that when you learn Italian because as much tight as you learn you never will know all of theta there's always more not as always more because you don't know it but because God who's entitled is infinite so Infinity is Everlasting that's the that's the explanation why this is standard whatever right but can we say that git is left my mind at the same time in other words what would be the difference between and how do you understanding mathematics and understanding a piece of good Mothers the people of the mind I I grabbed the idea and the the idea go ask my mind the same thing with the mathematical idea is there a wondrous right excellent question and the answer briefly maybe Monday we'll talk more about it because it's important okay but briefly not to leave you with a question for four days I know you won't be able to sleep over Shabbos from your question but the answer briefly is that the the mathematics because it's because God your Seiko can grab it completely where you are in full control and it in and it doesn't grab you anymore you're in control you understand it but Tita because Titus Bleak vote because it comes from the abusive from God that's Bleak full you can never say I fully understand it no not just because your brain capacity because it's not in that category of being able to be understood completely because it's infinite's people that's right that's right that's right you just said it the infinite Bleak full grabs you at the same time that you understand it excellent that's that's the liquidity yeah that's that's the that's the Kinders that's why Dalton ever says and it's a powerful World words right there is no other such great unity in all of the universe and all of the world and and that my ship is the specialty of learning tell you that's not about how much you can model how much it is you know it's not about counting pages it's about the Yahoo the relationship that you have God that God has you so when you say God has you that means God surrounds you God's in control that's the specialty that's what we're looking for to walk away with when we learn Taylor and and and the answer is when Aid learns tighter this way you could see on them this is a Godly person someone was a shoe shop as the same guest that I told you about he comes over to me he says see that Booker over there he's a real Tubman because the bucket was doubling with such kavana quiet and just he didn't he didn't pick us take his head out from the sither and I know the buffer you know Young Buck in 16 17 years old so this garer who came to me and says you know he's The Real McCoy he's the real lebovich the way he's doubting is what the altareba wants of his you know and and I said okay you know but in other words the the tight when a person is impacted by by learning tell you to this way believe me it's noticeable as they as they go out it's no it's noticeable you know have a have a great Shabba Shabbos open reveal Brothers not just good a parent good revealed good as we say in English in the bank bottom line to everyone see you Richard next week hello hello we love to see you zygous okay yeah okay bye
