one of the main personalities that we come across when it comes to KHAK I suppose is Aristotle Aristotle was the father of Greek philosophy of Greek philos as we know it and really the main theme behind Greek philosophy is all the enormity and the profundity and the power of nature and that's really all that is behind a Greek philosophy the strength of a person's sport theater drama uh buildings dress physical features and physical strength everything has to do with physical strength and nature that is the principle behind Greek philosophy in the TOA We Believe much more than that there's also a spirit of person a spiritual life not just a physical life much more much deeper than that and that is really the basis of the clash between to to philosophy and Greek philosophy when we come to understand that meaning I suppose we're talking about the introduction the beginning of Darwinism because really that's where it became from the theory of of Nature and the Brilliance of Nature and the power of nature I suppose really comes as the theory from Greek philosophy maybe that's the basis of all secular thought there is an in interesting incident that happened some time ago in Bible G in Jerusalem one of the great Ras ra Kun came into a fruit and vegetabl store with a student with a t and they stood in the store as they were waiting there a secular Jew came in and stood there also in the store the secular Jew turned man and said to where is the proprietor turn man and said there is is no propriety here immediately the secular Jew turned around and said as follows what do you mean you're foolish of course there is a b here what the Wasa meant he wasn't here at the moment but the secular Jew thought that Wasa meant there is no propriety here once the Wasa heard that he had had any idea he said no I'll explain to you what happened meaning in answer to this secular Jew who has said of course there must be a of course there must be a proprietor what happened was said no I'll explain to what happened here in this store what happened was yesterday there was a big explosion and gasing came up and there were clouds and all of a sudden in one corner went the the apples and the potatoes went over here and the Cucumbers fell there was a gazm and from the gazm the Cucumbers sat here and the tomatoes came here and that's what happened and the onions came here secular completely crazy what do you think happened here listen to what the secular D ter my dear friend let me explain something to you I explain this ridiculous Theory just in one store you say the whole world is like that the whole world according to secular thought is there were gas in there was explosions and the tomatoes fell here and the potatoes fell here don't you realize how foolish your theory is of course there's a babis of course there's a proprietor you don't see him that's a point he's not known he's there beyond our understanding and that is really one of the reasons why when we say the words sh the word elu means the dynamic force that we see all the powers in creation yud and he and then Rob and he hashem's name is a hidden entity when we address the almighty there were two names there's the name of yud and he the letters which we use which we refer to as master all and the word elu MIT means the dynamic the Creator the supervisor and that's the nature really if you look carefully of every BR that we say there is Blessed Be You God we and K which we don't understand and Dynamic Creator and that's the point which which we must try and learn when we come to Kana as much as the Greek philosophy said everything is brilliant and the power of nature but there's much more than the power nature where there is also is a hidden entity of the almighty and that's the nature of the creation
