Tanya chapter 33 part 2 - Faith that turns into joy · Food for the Soul

0:00
Bokel tov, good morning, we continue with chapter 33 in Tanya.
0:11
And when we wake up in the morning, we say, asreinu, matav, khelkeinu, umana, ingo, galaynu,
0:19
how fortunate are we, how happy we are, how good is our portion, how pleasant is our lot,
0:27
and how beautiful is our heritage.
0:30
Are you happy to be Jewish? All of you? Yes. Why are we happy to be Jewish?
0:37
Why are we happy to be Jewish? Because we are special.
0:43
Why? Because we are good looking? We are in a good way, right?
0:48
We control the weather. Exactly, all the good things.
0:51
We could be happy that we are Jewish, not just about our essence,
0:57
but also because we are the ones that could actually acknowledge
1:01
The godly presence that is near us, we know we are aware that we have an ashamah.
1:08
And the jewel of the ashamah is being close to Hashem and when you ever have a rough day
1:15
or a tight or a difficult day and you want to rejoice, you should meditate on this following.
1:22
That Hashem fills the whole world, the unity of God and the world.
1:26
There is nothing but Hashem.
1:28
How could that help you?
1:29
that's what we're going to see today. Number one, we tried yesterday starting to analyze
1:34
a little bit what it means that, there is nothing but Hashem, what it means is there's
1:40
me, there's you, there's the creations. Say nevertheless it's all one with Him Himself,
1:47
He's like the words in our mind or the light inside of the sun, remember these
1:55
These two examples like the ray of light that comes here, imagine the sun is everywhere
2:02
so it's technically nonexistent and nullified in its presence, in its origin of where it
2:10
is endless infinite light.
2:12
So to also with our words when I say good morning, right, the good morning exists
2:16
in my mind also before that and after that, but it's part of the endless infinite amount
2:24
words that I could speak and therefore it's technically nullified there and as nonexistent.
2:35
So too is the world in God's presence that everything is so full of Hashem and this is a
2:46
Kabbalistic idea that is allowed to learn and understand how God and the world overlap,
2:51
how does the world seemingly is independent and disconnected but nevertheless is one with him
2:58
So, let's make sure all of you have a book of Tanya in front of you, if not there's another
3:02
one on the shelf I see, right, maybe one more, maybe if not then we're gonna, there's
3:07
one more here on this table, and we're gonna open the page 149 at the bottom paragraph
3:13
of the first call, we're gonna try to first, with Tanya what I realized works for me
3:21
personally many times best, is to try to read the whole chapter as a follow text
3:26
or at least longer sections of it and have a basic understanding to see what's going on.
3:32
Even if you don't understand every detail, if you understand the general idea that's
3:37
already helpful because then you could go back and understand the individual things.
3:42
Because many times when you get stuck on a parenthesis, on a question mark, on something
3:47
you don't understand then you don't pick up the whole flow even when you understand
3:52
it.
3:53
a lot of different ways to do it. Let's try this. Page 149 at the bottom, exactly so.
4:03
We will start, what do we do if you say, Shayla, up in the circle.
4:10
Exactly. So, favorite to be speaking of the world and all that feels it's dissolved
4:19
out of existence in relation to its source, which is the light of the blessed and soft
4:25
as if there is, as is there explained at light.
4:30
Okay, so what are we saying here briefly, the same way my words are insignificant in
4:37
my mind, the light is insignificant inside of the sun, the world is nullified and
4:42
insignificant in God but compared to God, this Hashem is so infinite that yes world
4:49
not world is almost like it dissolves there, it disappears there. As it's
4:54
explained somewhere else, now just we're saying the source, if there is Ensof
4:59
which is God's infiniteness, all Ensof means the light of Ensof. Okay, just
5:07
for comparison, we have the sun and we have the light of the sun, we have end soft, and
5:26
we have all end soft.
5:34
Okay, basically we're not saying that all ends of is, it's the light, it's the revelation
5:42
of the end ends of.
5:44
In general in Khasidut we use the terminology light as the closest analogy we could find
5:52
to godliness.
5:55
Not because it's light, don't imagine God being a sun and the creation energy
6:01
is like, like, what? Disappointed? You always thought Hashem looks like a son? With a smiley
6:09
face like a telatabi? So there's like the son knows how to speak. Whatever. Never, not
6:20
very important. It's 30 years back. So we found the closest analogy. Sometimes it says that
6:30
Hashem in the world is like a teacher and a teacher that teaches, it's a revelation of
6:35
his wisdom, sometimes it's like someone who speaks but the closest thing the Kabbalists
6:40
use and this is the arizal's, I think agenda is defining the godly revelation as light,
6:48
because light is dependent and independent at the same time, it has those qualities
6:55
it like it goes out of the sun but if the sun turns off the light is not existing, right?
7:03
On the other hand it could become seemingly disconnected because it's outside of it but
7:08
really it's completely dependent so the godly revelation to create a world is similar to
7:15
make the world feel like it's independent but really it's dependent on every moment
7:20
and if God will shut off the light, it's not going to reveal itself.
7:24
Okay, so this is how the world dissolves or is nullified compared to it.
7:31
Rufka, could you continue?
7:33
What?
7:34
When one will deeply.
7:36
When one of the people comes up, this part will be loaded.
7:41
And his soul will rejoice even with joy and singing.
7:45
So when someone thinks about this, he needs to start singing and dancing, right?
7:49
It doesn't say dancing. It says joy in singing.
7:53
Okay.
7:54
With all parts and soul imagine the internet of the state,
8:00
which is the term and the sign.
8:03
This is the experience of the weary from the vicinity of God.
8:06
And it is the hope of this man and the call of his creation.
8:11
As well as the creation of all the worlds,
8:14
both appear and lower.
8:16
that he may have an embalm here below as we will introduce the explain of when.
8:24
This faith is so tremendous, because it's so close. Do you know the 12 psukim?
8:34
Pohorah, tziva, okay? And then there's pasuk, and that's a little more advanced,
8:42
that's for the ones who make it to pasuk 7 or 8 only like you know like the older kids,
8:47
that everyone makes it to so far.
8:52
Do you notice Pasuk?
8:54
He is bright.
8:56
All the worlds, aliens, that's when all the Israelis laugh.
9:00
That's what's called tachtonim.
9:02
Exactly, tachtonim, li'i'ot, l'odira, zul, or why?
9:08
This is Pasuk from right here, this is a quote from Tanya.
9:12
It could be you never noticed, but the 12 Suqeem are structured, two, two, two, two, two, two.
9:23
Fun fact. Do you know the 12 Suqeem? What's the first Pasuk? Tua. Tiva Al Anu Moshe, right?
9:32
So the first Pasuk, we have Tua Tiva Al Anu, and then we have Shra'i Sayyed, right?
9:37
that much we know. So what's interesting is that when the Rebbe taught it, it was first
9:44
the Rebbe taught two from the Torah, from the Bible, two from the Mishnah or the Talmud
9:51
and two from Chasidut. And then another round, Be'rashid barayelokim, right? That's
9:59
again going to be two from the Torah, two from Torah Shabar, pay from the Talmud
10:04
and two from chassidut, because they are very close to each other, and that's all the man,
10:12
and he decides to marry him, to marry Israel, etc.
10:15
Those pshukim are from Tanya, two from Torah, two from Torah Shabalpe, two from chassidut,
10:21
from Tanya. And then again, that's how the Torah pshukim are structured,
10:27
in fact of the day. So one of the pshukim is, and that's all the man, the rabbit shows
10:31
this passoek to basically say, listen to this and maybe you could like underline it or highlight
10:37
it, because it is the whole purpose of man, not just man like all the humans and the goal
10:48
of creation as well as the creation of all the worlds, el yawneem both upper and takhturneem
10:54
and lower that he may have in a boat here below. The purpose of the creation of everything
11:00
is what? Why did Hashem create the world? Why did Hashem create the world? It's literally right
11:16
here in the words. The goal of the creation is what? The goal of the man and the goal of the
11:28
creation is what? And the creation of all the world is what? Don't be shy, look inside.
11:41
Just finish the sentence, we just read the sentence, look inside.
11:43
very good that he may have an abode here below so it says here that he may have you see where
11:57
we are it's in the top and the second column at the end of the first paragraph okay like
12:06
it starts when one will deeply contemplate all the way in the top page in the top of the page
12:12
And the second column all the way in the top.
12:17
So what is the purpose of man and of creation, what?
12:26
Very good.
12:27
Aviva, what is the purpose of the man and all his creation?
12:30
Very good.
12:31
Shayla, what's the purpose of the man and all his creation?
12:38
Who knows what's in a boat?
12:43
What?
12:44
So why is no one asking?
12:45
If you don't know what's in a boat?
12:48
Need to translate from English to English. A boat is a dwelling place, an apartment, a house, a habitation, a place of rest, a home, an apartment, a loft.
13:04
Yes, exactly like house. I thought you have enough silence. Like home. Very good. Like
13:14
a loft, like a flat. Exactly, Jalishi. Long story, Damoy, right? So, we want Hashem to
13:28
have what in this world? To turn this world into a boat here below. Okay, could you try
13:39
to remember this? Dira be tahtonim, what's dira? What? A house and a boat? No one uses
13:51
the word of God. In modern Hebrew we say dirah, but dirah is a living place, dirah in a house
14:19
below. So imagine God is calling you and say, Hey, could I stay over in your house? Hashem
14:46
calls you, say, Hi, Laila, how are you? I need a place to stay. Can I stay in your house?
14:53
What? You're like, nah, maybe next week, we have guests this week.
15:03
It's service table four. What does it mean? The greatest joy of being able to host the
15:14
king in your house and the God is going to be so close to you in such a revealed way.
15:20
So I'm surprised to you, God calls you and asks you to make him a house that he should
15:29
feel comfortable to be present in your home, not just in your home, also in the classroom
15:36
and also in everything you're doing, also in the whole world, that's your mission.
15:39
So technically, the proximity of God is ongoing, so close and you should literally
15:48
need to rejoice.
15:49
So yesterday we elaborated that the whole universe, God is technically present.
15:54
So as soon as we open up the door for it, it will shine through that He is present there.
16:05
As I'm saying it, I think an example could be, imagine wherever I could open the earth
16:09
I will see the lava from the earth, no if you dig down the earth you'll see the lava.
16:13
It's always there, right?
16:15
What changes?
16:16
That I reveal it and if I open it everywhere I'll see that under everything there is a
16:22
boiling hot lava what something so imagine I take this table so physical
16:31
table okay usually sit here no this is my way this is my window so this table
16:46
right now it's concealing godliness I don't see Hashem here now if I take a
16:51
book of Tanya, put it on the table. And I'm taking a cup of holy water and put it on the
16:57
table. I put a nice tablecloth and I am making a Shabbat table. And then I'm meditating and
17:04
I'm thinking that really this table is in Hashem's presence and Hashem is also right here. This
17:10
table is nonexistent compared to the Creator. This is just a tool for me to reveal Hashem.
17:17
then the table almost like imagine like in a comic scene will like light up and like you know like
17:24
when they do like you know when you like open the box with all the diamonds you know when
17:32
you open you found the thing like like a glow so imagine we do this and then like the table
17:39
kind of becomes revealed that this is really godliness and you could do it all over the
17:46
world, on everything you do, in the walls, in the floor, in the this, in the book, in
17:52
the pen, in the box, everything, every coin, the whole world, whatever you do could reveal
17:59
more and more Godliness and the more we do it, the more we understand that this whole
18:04
universe is basically like that and that is something we should celebrate because
18:13
This is the purpose of the Creator, the creation of man to reveal that constantly and the more
18:20
we do it, the more present it is going to be that Hashem is so close to us.
18:28
So look here, let's continue inside Esther, do you want to read, behold.
18:53
a simple man and the king of a human king comes to your house and decides to sleep
18:58
in your house what greater what greater joy could there be keep going how
19:04
infinitely
19:23
So Hassan says, who was that person that was excited and engaged his heart to approach
19:38
to me?
19:39
It's almost like, how much more so do you even dare?
19:44
It should be scary to try to approach and welcome God in you, but also how much greater
19:51
should be the joy of one, when he manages to welcome and to be a host for the Shchina.
19:58
You know, all the countries fight who is going to host the Olympics, right?
20:04
And who is going to host FIFA World Cup, right?
20:08
What?
20:09
Right, Eurovision, who is going to host Eurovision?
20:14
I'm going to host Hashem, much greater, much better, we should all fight who should
20:21
be the one that has more godliness revealed in his place, in his house, in his state, in his
20:28
community. This is the greatest joy of the infinite king of kings. King of kings. You know,
20:36
it's like the president of all presidents, much higher than all of those, that should bring you
20:45
real happiness. For this reason, now we understand why we're so thankful that we're
20:52
Jewish every morning, a rufka, you read? For this reason? That's why Ahachamim said to
21:12
offer praise, to say words of praise, words of saying that you're so great. And thanks,
21:18
thank you for the great name, which name, Mavashem, when every morning, what do we say? And to say?
21:24
happy are we, exclamation mark, happy are we, happy are we, so happy are we, it's with
21:33
the whole energy, exclamation mark, it's not a question mark at the end, it's a
21:48
exclamation mark. And how great is our heritage?
21:51
We sing it, we rejoice it, how glad we are, how happy we are, how good is our portion
22:09
of being Jewish and being part of godliness, how pleasant is our lot, what's lot?
22:16
Lot is like the peace of land that we have.
22:21
lot, L-O-T. Lot is when there's a map, you know it's a map of all the houses, every house
22:32
has a lot. So let's say this is the map of Koran Haid, this is a block, so these are
22:38
the houses, every house has a lot. Okay? House. So every house has its own lot, some
22:51
lots are bigger they have two houses on them okay that's a lot parking lot what's
23:01
a parking lot it's a piece of land where there's a lot so we're saying our part
23:07
our portion our lot that we became Jewish we became representatives we're
23:15
the ones that Hashem wants us to host us in his place how happy how joyous
23:20
how exciting is that? In other words, Aviva...
23:52
There was a Habadurah in Toronto, who had a big community, but he was, you know, struggling
23:58
financially and there was one older lady that for years, you know, she came and he was very
24:03
friendly to her and she, this was like her home and then one day he gets a letter that
24:09
she passed away and she left him $26 million, that was $26 or $28 million, left to his
24:20
name. So, you know, she didn't know she has money, didn't know, but like, for years, she did very
24:28
close with her, and she decided to leave all her money to Chabad. How exciting is this?
24:37
By the way, you know, you'll see, you'll see right outside the oil, across the street of the
24:41
oil, there's a big gray house, very modern new house. One of the things is that she bought
24:46
himself a big house, so whenever he brings people, brings groups, this is the
24:53
have a real story that's like yeah whatever it's like part of the things
25:00
that you know they did with the funds is community should have a house next to
25:03
the door so everyone's to stay there for Shabbat from their community or
25:06
whenever they come there we know you see a big modern renovated house right
25:10
there so you know like when someone leaves you a heritage that you
25:14
didn't toil for how happy are you how joyous are you how much more so
25:21
So should all of us be happy when we know that Avraam, Yitzhak and Yaakov, our forefathers
25:27
inherited us the true unity of God, understanding that Hashem is present in our lives and He
25:39
is present here with us, Avraam Avin worked hard to believe in this and to accomplish
25:46
this in his mind, but then for us we were born into this, we were born into this,
25:53
So we have built in imuna and faith that Hashem is the real thing, and that is something we
26:02
should celebrate.
26:03
We didn't work on this, we didn't put effort to be believers, we have it built in.
26:11
So when we wake up we can say, how great is our heritage, maya fayah ushatain, we
26:17
ushatain was what we inherited, what we inherited, we didn't get any money.
26:22
inherited the faith and the heritage of trust in the in the true unity of one
26:33
God. Because it's a game-changer. God is not an outside force empowering me or
26:44
giving me or helping me. God in the world I want. So everything I do is in
26:51
the presence of the Lord. So I basically was granted access and knowledge of having
26:59
God present in my life. Imagine the king is sleeping in your house and you don't
27:04
know about it. And sometimes you know who's this guy staying right here? I
27:08
remember I was once, what's his name? This is really singer. Pop, young girl,
27:15
pop star yeah no no Kiran you know who that is yeah singer is really young
27:23
pop star so one night I was at the aisle and I made myself a coffee and I see
27:27
this girl next you know also making a tea so I say oh you're welcome this asked
27:32
if you I told you look familiar I don't know are you like no promise yes
27:37
as I'm a singer are you no no Kiran she was like it was like 11 p.m. she
27:43
came to the island on the way to a show or something. She prayed there, you know, and
27:49
then it was like, then later somebody like, you know who that is. She's the most famous
27:55
pop star in Israel. Like there's no, there's no what? There's no girl between 5 and 20
28:06
who doesn't know who that is. I'm saying this like, or like, or a politician and so
28:10
whatever it is, you know, like, do you know who that is? Do you know who that is? This is a millionaire, this is a
28:15
brilliant.. I could tell you also, do you know who's in your presence? Who's sleeping in your house?
28:21
Who do you have the heritage and the merit to be part of? Of the Creator of the world?
28:28
And He's present with you and your life and your world, does something could just,
28:32
you know, like start dancing? Literally, it's like, how lucky are we that we know this?
28:38
And by the way, this is one of the things that made Jews happy throughout every generation
28:44
because it doesn't make a difference where they were, if they had money, didn't have
28:48
money.
28:49
Whatever the circumstances were, they were in the presence of the Divine and this was
28:55
many times more meaningful than all the suffering.
28:59
It's something that every Jew in every situation could enjoy with.
29:03
Okay, let's continue. It's just a tablet. I don't know if you're like writing Esther.
29:08
I don't feel like taking notes, but if not, then let's put that away.
29:15
Thank you. This is what our rabbi said. Have you just read, right?
29:20
Yeah, so okay. This is what our rabbi is 151.
29:26
On the left?
29:28
Yes, on the left.
29:32
Do you know that?
29:34
Yes.
29:38
This is the rest of this memory.
29:40
There are, say, six hundred and thirteen communions
29:45
were given to his name.
29:47
Ken Hadakouk,
29:49
and I stand on a single word
29:53
as if he's writing the right song.
29:59
righteous. What are we saying here? Our Chachamim say the following. There's 613
30:09
mitzvot, right? 613 commandments were given to Israel. And then there's a prophet, his
30:16
name was Chavakuk. And Chavakuk says Chavakuk was a prophet in the Bible. There's a book,
30:23
If you know the Bible, it has a lot of books inside of it, there is Irmiyao, Ishaiao, Melachim,
30:37
Shoftim, Yahshua, B'amidbar, Te'ilim, Esther, right?
30:44
And then there is the last known one, there is Amos, Ovadia, Chavakur, Kiona, right?
30:52
There are books that are a little less known, but it's important to know them too, because
30:58
there were prophets in their part of our Bible.
31:01
They had their own prophecies in certain times.
31:07
Chavakuk says, tzadik bi amunatoyikh yeh, it's you, especially tzadik, there is
31:13
one mitzvah that is most important, have faith, believe.
31:19
He just told me the 630 mitzvot, comes Chavakuk and puts everything on one.
31:25
If last time we spoke the Da'avat Israel and this is everything, today we are saying
31:29
this Chavakuk comes and says, believing in Hashem, that is everything.
31:34
What is that?
31:35
That is to say.
31:36
We will continue with a few more lines.
31:38
That is to say.
31:39
There is a saying, there has been no more than a human being, so alone, so I believe that
31:51
I will be able to come to 35.
31:58
600.
31:59
Very good, yes, he will come to fulfill all the 613 commandments.
32:08
Now we need to understand that, why if I will be faithful to Hashem, if I believe
32:14
in Hashem, and I trust and I believe in the unity of God. Why will that make me fulfill
32:22
all the mitzvot? This is one, by the way, is believing in Hashem and mitzvah? The first
32:29
of the Ten Commandments. What's the first commandment of the Ten Commandments? Remember?
32:34
You know Aseret Adibrot? You can say in French, no problem, I understand. Again? No, mitzvah
32:47
of the Ten Commandments, right? Aseret Adibrot, what is the first one of the Ten Commandments?
32:55
That's the second one. Very good, very loud. You said correct. What? I am your God.
33:09
This is the first commandment, right? Is that a mitzvah? To believe in God? Who commanded
33:17
the mitzvah? Who commanded the first mitzvah? So, why are you listening to him?
33:25
Because he lived in a mountain, unfortunately.
33:33
Okay, but I'm saying like, so we believe in him, is that a mitzvah to believe in him?
33:39
This is the foundation to talk about him is because you believe in him.
33:46
If you don't believe in him, why are you listening to what he tells you?
33:49
If I can't tell you believe me, I'm God. It's not gonna work, right?
33:58
Because you're first need to believe in me for me to tell you what to do, right?
34:03
It's almost like, so it's a big argument amongst, you know, the traditions say
34:09
that there's 630 mitzvah, there's different sources for that. The question is if this counts as one of
34:17
the 613, or not. And actually there's a lot of different opinions how you count those 613. I think
34:27
there's four main countings on what counts as a mitzvah and what doesn't count as a mitzvah,
34:33
because it's not so simple. Let's say it says when Joshua left Mitzvah, it says today he left
34:40
Mitzvah, he shall never return there ever again. The question is, is that the Mitzvah? You should
34:47
not go back to Mitzvah? Or is Hashem just the Torah just telling us poetically,
34:52
you left Mitzvah and you'll never go back? There's an argument, some opinions say the
34:59
Torah means don't go back to Egypt, don't go back to Mitzvah. Other opinions say no?
35:06
It was just a Torah, it was just meant to tell you that you left Mitzvot and you're not going back there.
35:14
It wasn't a commandment. So, there are many ways to understand things differently.
35:20
So, Chavaku comes and says,
35:22
Tzadik should live with one thing, having a Munna in the unity of Hashem.
35:29
That's all. That's all. Chakhamim say,
35:31
Oh, this is all the Torah. If you do this right, you'll fulfill all the Mitzvot.
35:36
Okay, why so? Because once you'll acknowledge and understand the unity of God with the world,
35:53
you will come to such a joy. If that's the only thing existing in the world, this joy
36:03
will help you overcome any struggle in the way of doing the mitzvot. If you really understand
36:09
this concept, it's going to make it very easy for you to do all the Mitzvot around.
36:15
And this is what Rav Rukh wanted to say, you could live and you could be religious only
36:19
based on your faith.
36:21
Not like before there was a, oh it's about believing in your heart, it's not about
36:26
wrapping Tfilin or actually keeping Shabbat.
36:29
Can you close this?
36:36
Okay, I'm saying if you take notes it's one thing, if you don't take notes then just
36:43
close it.
36:44
I'm sorry.
36:45
So let's see inside, what we're saying here, be faithful, be joyous from that
36:53
faith and from that joy you'll get to do all the Mitzvot, all the commandments
36:58
because this is the ultimate purpose of it, the purpose of all the worlds
37:05
to overcome all those struggles that stop you from doing Amitabha.
37:09
So now, Emma, do you want to read for us? In other words,
37:13
loud and clear, yes, in the middle of the paragraph, exactly middle of the page,
37:19
in other words.
37:20
Other words meant in perfect joy as those we had, but this one commandment,
37:29
and alone were the ultimate purpose of His creation for all the worlds,
37:34
then with the force and fatality of the soul which are generated by the great force.
37:41
His soul will extend ever higher above all eternal and external obstacles,
37:48
which under his fulfillment of all six thirteen commandments.
37:52
So we're saying here that what? That you shall live with your faith means
37:56
that when you have faith you'll be happy when you have that happiness you could overcome any
38:01
struggle especially any struggle of doing the other mitzvot so the reason he
38:06
said faith is the key for all the mitzvot is not because then you believe in
38:10
Hashem and if you believe in Hashem you'll do mitzvot because believing in
38:13
doing has nothing to do with each other people believe and they don't listen
38:18
to what they believe right yes I'm sorry the key the key is to have a
38:27
that God in the world that I want. So I was like, of course, because if not, we don't do it. But I
38:35
have a story for you. There was one time a thief, you know, a thief, a robber, a robber who was on
38:42
his way to break into a house, to rob money. And before he goes in, he prays to Hashem that
38:52
the police should not catch him. Hashem, please, I don't want the police to catch him. Please,
38:59
I want a successful robbery. What's funny? The same in our lives. Why is that funny?
39:10
Because are you allowed to rob or not allowed to steal? We're doing something wrong, but
39:14
in St.戴 we do it to Hashem, he would protect us. So it's like, what do you mean?
39:22
The police is chasing after you, you are praying Hashem please, what do you mean, you can't
39:26
do it, why are you asking Hashem for help?
39:29
So you believe in God but you don't believe in God?
39:33
Does the thief believe in God?
39:34
Why?
39:35
How do we know?
39:36
Because he prays.
39:37
If he believes in God why does he steal?
39:40
Because his belief doesn't necessarily come down to his actions.
39:49
But now I have a suggestion, let's sit with the thief and we are going to meditate and
39:54
we are going to learn about Hashem and the world being one, we will help the thief understand
40:02
that the world and God are not two separate things, they are one and the same.
40:07
And we are going to learn about this, the thief is going to join Mahonkhana, he
40:12
is going to learn in the morning in Tanya chapter 33 and he is going to learn that
40:16
the world and Hashem are one, literally one.
40:19
the world is nullified to him. He says, wow, Hashem is so in my presence. Wow, that's so exciting.
40:29
I want to do it. I don't want to do anything wrong. I want to be connected with Hashem.
40:36
He's going to start dancing on the street. He's going to start seeing him dancing around.
40:41
Why? Because he's going to realize, what do you mean? Hashem is with me the whole time.
40:45
whatever I do, wherever I go, he's with me and automatically he's going to keep the mitzvot.
40:51
He's going to come to the rob and he's going to feel like it's not enough. He's just going to run to
41:00
study Torah. So, this is what you have to do. You should live. It's like almost like
41:08
tchiat ametim, that you were dead earlier and now you're alive. How did you become alive?
41:15
through your faith. Until now you were like depressed, disconnected, uninterested, sit down,
41:24
think, understand, meditate, really like learn. It's a little bit of learning and a little
41:29
bit of contemplating about God and the world being one and that will create that joy and
41:35
passion and then you're going to run and do all the Mitzvah. So we continue with the same tomorrow.
