Simcha #6 - Diff bet Senses and Organs as animated by Soul - Creativity vs. Analyses - Ivdu 1938

okay so we're learning the main simcha and we be he began teaching us yesterday that there's um the idea of xm essence and hispashtut extension manifestation jameson asked a question and i agreed with his question but then when i learnt this again with a private javarussa i realized it's not a question and i'll answer the question jameson asked how is it that that ebba puts together the census of seeing and hearing together with deeper speech in speech because speech is what we call a fish a garment of the soul an instrument of the soul and set the senses are senses see anderson the answer is that he doesn't he does not put it together and look at the language and this will should clear it up i want to show it to you so page 1 19 sorry page 119 um no no no wait wait sorry i'm sorry page yeah page 117 where he says over here he says in the middle of the page there are three categories suggest three general categories one vehement one is called powers two is called him senses and three is called levushim garments then he says oklahoma's cooler if you put them all together yes there are those i'm giving up shot different the way i learned yesterday because i i looked at it more carefully amongst these different these three categories some of them are more inside essential oxmeem the yeshe haim and there are some that are more their only purpose is to extend themselves to manifest himself and he says he says take the of seeing and and and hearing and smelling now it is look what he says he doesn't call deep or hear a hush he calls it levusha deebler so he says i'm going to you know he said do you have this or you you have it yeah you have it yes so he says there are the three senses of seeing hearing and smelling and one of the three garments which is de la vusc he says all of them function with the outside all of them are oriented towards the outside response so he's not saying that deeper is a sense he's not saying that he's saying that we find amongst the senses and we also find also we also find amongst the uh garments that one of the three garments i.e speech is its purpose is for someone else to hear us and understand this whereas makshaba thought is for yourself it's not for the other so it's not a contradiction you're innocent i want to make sure you you understand what you i see that he he keep maintaining the three categories but he's going in the car and defining them up into external and internal yes now today the rebel the fleet of killer is going to explain something that's a very deep idea in hasidis it begins already in tanya chapters i believe 48 he says it very briefly so we will also be brief and not elaborate much so let's go to page 117 but but before we i teach an inside an overall an overview that epic says here there's a difference between highest what is highest life force vitality energy highest vitality is something that animates the item in which it is found in the question is this highest how does it operate and the rabbit will say there's a difference between the highest within the limbs of the body and the highest coming from the soul everything comes from the nephesh from the soul and the highest in the in the senses and the difference is one is what we call more soul one reflects more soul and one reflects less soul and more the object in which it animates let's use an example a teacher and a student again i've run a teacher and a student the teacher when he teaches the student one type of teacher his orientation his mindset is the student the other teacher his orientation is to share what he prepared and knows with others why because uh because the others support him and make him stronger and better and he has who to talk to both are talking to students but the orientation of one and the orientation of the other as in this example totally different so so too with khaius hashem god made the highest coming from the nephesh to operate in various ways depending in to where and in what it animates let's look inside that's the introduction let's look now 117. this is like three six eight lines from the bottom in the middle of the page the senses of seeing what should be and hearing who literally is relish to see and to hear my husband something that's outside of oneself right that ever says we learned this yesterday i'm just re repeating but aka name the difference is the uh when it comes to seeing a light comes out of of man meaning man's pupil is i the typhus and it grabs the object that it sees but what's the orientation what's the methodology of riya is the outside moisture so too the someone talks to you you hear him and you take it in again what is the orientation the item and issue i.e the words being heard from the other who's not you is outside of yourself and you take it in so both of these senses ria and shmea their orientation is the outside the dibor now it now he chooses unisim the garment the levush deeper he says there too who the goddess the purpose of deeper is to reveal something to someone else for yourself you don't need to reveal it you know it in your mind he summarizes [Music] all of this is only of around what we call an extension a manifestation of the energy of the light in other words it's not the essence the way the essence is in its very pure self to itself when you talk about an energy a highest that its orientation is the other the outside how much highest is there in that in that experience the answer is very limited why why why why does why must we say why is that ever saying that when we're talking about a highest that's created in a sense by the outside there's minimal highest coming from the soul what's the answer simple the soul is the essence of the person the essence of the person is to himself in himself right when you're talking about outside when you're talking about someone else and you and it's like you're putting on a show right it's like you're getting dressed up for a simcha [Music] you're doing that because you want to either impress the the place and the people you're going to or you want to be seen as in a certain way in fact i'll say melech a king in his beauty shall be seen you don't want a king to be seen by people in a state of disarray and a choice it doesn't say anywhere that he comes out to the field looking dressed in rags he just says he's not dressed in his royal garments but i'll give you another example they say i didn't witness this that ever when he went came out the rebel david every day at 7 70 3 15 in the afternoon there was at a time when the bakarim who made up a large part of the menu especially in the early years they they finished lunch and they and the beginning of their next saturn the next period was 3 30 p.m so the rabbit didn't want to disturb their their learning so he set this time at 3 15. i think that's pretty much the reason but one of the reasons when he came in he was dressed with a hat and a kaputa and everything they say when he came back to his room he's like he threw off his hat let's go but uh and he went right to this forum to learn to work in other words when you're in your own house and your own room you're to yourself excellent and when you're to yourself you don't you don't need to impress if you don't need to impress you have more of the real energy that's there now it's interesting i'm just thinking out loud here with you if you allow me to when i teach you and i prepare but then i teach you many times new ideas come to me while i'm talking and by the way the reber ashab already said this in his in a discourse in from uh 1899 or 1900 to freshman test it's called i believe i learned it when i was a student and probably it says it earlier too because the kayak the power of speech is associated with a very high source and it triggers that and those ideas come into your mind as you're speaking you don't have them earlier but that's a that's another discussion we're not i'm not talking about that the average highest of a person is stronger in thought or to themselves whereas when they they share with others when they share with others maybe they have to exert themselves more how to communicate it right but the highest is when they're themselves let's take moisture's art well moisture is in the studio painting creating when you're in your own mode you're at your best when you have to now sell the painting yeah you have to do a good sales pitch a kosher sales pitch but the quality of that was that was used when you made the painting is there's no comparison to when you sell the painting what quality am i talking about i'm talking about a quality of essence of who you are that that quality that creativity experienced as you are in a state of what we call at meme essence that's why the rebel says here the highest bohem the highest that there is in speak in seeing and hearing is very limited in other words let's let's let's another when you see something are you exerting yourself when you hear something are you exerting yourself no it's easy to see and it's easy to hear relatively speaking and it's surely easier to use the the power of the gamut talking everyone's talking everyone's hacking everybody's plopping keep on talking why is it much easier than thinking and feeling moisture to feel who feels how often do we feel the world is obsessed with feeling i feel it i don't feel it understanding do i really understand it because that's closer to your essence so there's more quality so it's more of an exhausting experience in the sense that the essence is there and that's why that ever says here that the highest the energy coming from the soul to animate seeing hearing or speaking is very limited avraham did you follow what i just said yesterday i was thinking about it i'm a musician so when i play it by myself i enjoy it but when i play in front of a audience the level of excitement is much higher than i get playing by myself yes so but where but where where does the power of composition of your music exist more when you play for others or when you when you create the music in your home studio when i sometimes i just let it flow i don't think in advance it just comes out i think it may be related to uh was talking nori about the uh how you have an essence of the spirituality and the physical act and it's the feedback message mechanism so as as the people in yours connect to the when they get more excited next and this source the anime that gives me energy then i asked to play better because they're enjoying it more i i and i i understand that and i agree with it i believe i said that earlier in the in the example that i cited and your example is also very very important and correct nevertheless the power of creativity and the power of composition you're talking about the experience i'm talking about the quality of the of the of the of the energy the quality of the energy is is is more pure is more of itself when it's in self not once the outside when i have to impress what you're saying is that when i'm playing music for others it gets me so happy that i'll do more it's like in my work in writing right or making the video clips i can't tell you over my 25 years doing this how many times i've said enough already i go back to learning tomorrow go back to putting on two more people in the chabad house go to go get yourself a degree and teach in a university right all kinds of ideas and right then and there i get a text i get an email i get a phone call a whatsapp and people say oh um what do you say about this i read this and and i i've seen it's it's so it's so um it's so interesting how the last moment sometimes you want to like move on or go do something else and boom it comes in it's a wake-up call stay put continue doing this because you're reaching a lot of people and you're doing something that others don't do not that they can't do it or they don't do whether they can they can't so at the same time i just heard a clip now from there but before i started this year what that ever tells a uh a person who comes to him layman and he asks that but how does one know when one has enough to provide for themselves and their family that they don't need to continue in that vein and obviously he was a wealthy person a businessman he tells the debba i sold my business and he implies that you know he has plenty of money for the rest of his life and to share with his family as well so how do you know when it's time to kind of just stop and you may i'm going to share that video after i finish that i'll send it out on the group and i want you to hear it and that ever says hashem gives a person talents and powers and abilities and if hashem gave you the ability to be a businessman and he doesn't say to make money and to succeed you have no right to stop that because god is infinite so he gave you infinity in that area and you should continue but you have to you have to hear the dialogue between the rev and him it's beautiful and it's slow and it's in english and what am i saying why am i saying this ah and then it happens there's one more point and this is very important for us the rabbit says whether you should continue investing in the same business that you just sold or try something new depends on you the person you have to know yourself and if you don't have happiness and that ever says that and what you're doing even though you succeeded and you want to try something else and that's going to bring you more happiness do that but whatever says i cannot tell you you know you have to know yourself what type of person you are and then make that decision based on that and and i've said this for years and it's just so wonderful to see this that ever saying this the idea some people say stay put and stay in the same business and stay in the same house and stay um in the same situation if a person is unhappy with what they're doing and they've tried this and that there is room for movement within the torah guidelines within shalom bias guidelines and with in business guidelines but the idea of stopping completely what you're doing and going to a kayla and your lion la babachirebo did not support that as a general as a general rule numerous people there was someone in england mr peter coms and he and it's online this you could read this or maybe you have heard it on gem he wanted to do just that he was successful businessman he supported the chabad institutions in england and london i think he wanted to make a liana to stroll and kind of you know uh just spend the rest of his life that way until rebecca said to him no no no no no you stay put what you are continue and hashem gave you talents there you can find ways in your community to to fill the need fill the need but but but i want to say what if a person doesn't have tries and doesn't find there's room for exploration elsewhere you know it it doesn't mean that i should be miserable because if you're miserable and you fall have fallen into a rut and you what we call breath out burned out that's no good that surely is no good so the music going back to your example of rom it's very important to have the the audience acknowledge what you're sharing with them with the music but that does not that's that does not take away the idea that he's sharing here which is another aspect another aspect and that is that the highest from the perspective of the highest you're talking about from the perspective of the experience i'm talk with the the mind was talking about the perspective of the highest from the perspective of the of the highest where is it in its pristine state when it's in itself okay whether it comes to you automatically or whether you create it as an artist you create the music you create the art you create the book and you use your brains and then you use your heart and then you create it there the animation from the soul to the creation is much greater it's not matsumtsam and that's why yoni sometimes a creator someone who's very strong in the in the area of creation needs to have someone else check their creation or better said develop the creation market the creation because a creation has that energy that's intense that is it might be overwhelming and it is overwhelming for the recipient so take for example someone who had a great uncle the first classic artist handle footerfast or panda lieberman you've seen his art after the previous whatever passed away he drew a picture of the previous rabbit with a black background it was a very heavy picture and he was expressing his sorrow his pain i doubt that that picture received much attention by people why no it they they saw it and he made his point but for them to put it on their to buy it and put it on their wall and to be in a state of a constant state of morbidity and melancholy is not what people want on their wall yes you'll have one two three people who find in itsalice and and elevation but the average person likes like i say give me bright colors i take i tell my designers of my book covers i like bright colors a lot of bright colors you know that ever told um i think robert krinsky or one of the secretaries you know for years that ev would not allow himself to be photographed he was very upset in the 63 in the early 60s there was mr trainer trainer studios was here in borough park and then my mom worked for me my mom worked for them my mom in the 70s worked for them work for them okay thank you so trainer studios was the first one that started to take pictures at weddings not only in chabad but in williamsburg you know whatever and and he was a frumiy then people liked him and and he had he had an inn but that ever was very you know the rebel was a principled man if he was against it he was against it so they came so he said please people want some pictures he said okay three pictures not more so trainer uh you know made these three pictures and and the pictures you know started to get publicity at some point i think going to the 70s lubavitch was now you know growing and and having contact with the media and they wanted other pictures not the three same pictures so i believe that ever for that you know for the sake of helping another yidd he would do anything so he allowed it but he told they told the the the staff this is what i heard give them a picture where i'm smiling where i'm there's a there's a grid on my face it's happiness don't give them a picture i'm very serious and every time i put up a picture of the river in my book cover i think about it not all my pictures he's smiling but i always think about that why is that moisture why is that because for the audience the audience appreciates more the smile than the seriousness that's the world we live in right just as people appreci like more speaking because they can hear you but thinking how many people have you seen lost in thought spent time and thought but hours of thought few so the creator of an idea must have someone to market their idea and we've seen this and see it some you have people who are genius in creation but very poor in marketing and their product goes nowhere nowhere so one needs if they don't have that strength themselves they need someone to market their talents and this is true in every sense of the way the rabbi vaish kaidish who is a special person who works so hard i've witnessed myself that's all true but he has people that appreciate it and it's because of who he is and what he's done i understand but if he wouldn't have the people he would be here still in this little steeple with 20 people but when you have people who get involved like it says we just we're coming from the holidays ain't melan a king without a nation is no king you can fantasize and have ideas i'm on top of the world and i'm the king oh really so let's go back to the mind now conversely let's go back you can't compare the highest within the kaijus within the powers to the energy that's in the limbs in the heart and the mind that ever adds a word here there we have what we call the essence of caius mohus comes from the word mahu what is it what is what is it really what's its essence it says that that in the limbs not in the in the senses motion it's the mohusahis although this is now a rhetorical question okay when you see a from the words of a hagam and although right away you have to make in your mind a parenthesis around it and what does the parenthesis consist of in this case [Music] although overall speaking what type of highest energy sustains the body not one that involves itself with the body but rather when the soul goes into the body the body wakes up and is animated and he gives another example just as fire doesn't involve itself and exert itself to warm up something that's near it right you remember good old chicago good old new york good old philly you got the radiators well i guess you haven't been there just wrote too and it's cold it's a windy the windy city i have to be in chicago in december for a wedding my show you got to prep me what do i need to wear what do i need to do hashem it's not january february so we'll hope and pray that it's uh not yet 10 10 feet of snow anyway when you sit next to a radiator do you tell the radiator radiator make me happy do you you screw the valve more less no the heat's coming from the basement from the from the apparatus that heats the radiator and if you put yourself next to the radiator you become more in other words there isn't you know what we call his ascos there is no exertion and involvement on on part of the sun or the heat to to do to do anything to make the person sitting next to the heat or the item being next to the heat warm so that ebby uses this as an example to support his thought that so too when this body is animated by the soul automatically the body lives exists so what's his question yes go ahead [Music] correct correct other times casitas uses those words very good so what's the brevis rhetorical comment [Music] here i'm telling you that there's more essential vitality in the limbs than there is in the pa in the senses he says but wait a second the overall idea of animation of highest from coming from a soul to a body is not uh doesn't seem to be a qualitative experience because it's like automatic now avraham he says the words miko mako mikhail mukhem is the retort to the rhetorical comment the answer nicole macklin nevertheless turn the page 118. he says yes but the thing is that in the hands and the feet you're a musician your hands an artist the hands a writer the hands then they're dancers tightrope walkers that lie in the feet in other words the quality of kai is there yes overall the highest coming from the soul to the outside is is not essential but within the non-essential highest there's a difference the ray of the lay especially the inner organs the lungs and the heart they have animation from soul energy that's very essential well the [Music] more than all the vitality of the limbs the whole skin and he goes even further even more so the light the animation the illumination better said of intelligence of the mind should is even greater and more spiritual the whole all of these three things that he mentioned that touches the essential quality and energy of the soul conversely in the senses they're only an extension so basically to recap to recap the senses don't have the essential quality of the soul as do the limbs be at the inner outer limbs of the hand and the feet which are more external or the inner limbs like the heart and the soul their highest is what's called mohusachayas that's more of soul all of this is been an explan a further elaboration on the idea of simcha which we're going to he's going to explain how simha operates but in order to appreciate what simcha is you need to know what's happening in yourself when you think and when you speak and when you use yours yes seeing in other things yes yeah you mentioned that then sleep aspects of the person ten questions three and five questions right yes so the the 10 questions on this is more so the regime and the question yes that's your summary is good correct yes it's time to to think about shabbos thursday wednesday already starts the in the in the sheer the the smaller we call it so we're going into lakelaho you all know the hayao miyorim that is a happy week because every day we live with our brahmavinu every day we live because we're learning departure every day seven alias for seven days of the week so it all culminates our shabbos and as i told you yesterday was zion i didn't finish the thought because of the time just to finish it what happens is the last person who the li the last group of people who made aliyah regal who made the pilgrimage for the holidays of sukis returned home because more than that amount of time that it took to walk to yerushalayim you weren't obligated to get up and go you understand at a certain spot that was the kind of border and if you were outside of that border you had no heel you had no obligation to make a leah but if you were inside that border you had to right so when they went back the amount of time that it took from the end of yumtif was this the last day they reached their home we know that you started nurtural to ask for rain and zion why do you wait for zion henchmen because you don't want to ask for rain and it should rain god will fulfill the request on people who are still walking on the road home and the rebel always spoke about this highlighting how how the traitor see the idea of israel in this the love for uh any and all yet that you don't want some rain to fall out of jew i don't know who is jewish i have no idea i was together with thousands and hundreds of thousands of people and you're telling me i should worry about yeah that's what cause i'll say you should you in betraymesh and a netanyah and in tel aviv and yerushalayim can't sit comfortable and asking for rain which you need knowing that the rain is going to rain possibly on someone who's still on the journey walking home and it's an important message to share with your children grandchildren and friends it's a simple message you know you're in the karl boxall please share this message with the people because and no it's it and it's it's it's not you know the laboratory's insight i mean the rebel would elaborate on it and it's important when you say something over in the name of someone else who you heard it from to say excite who it is although the river would say at times if it's if you know that some people might be upset say it without my name but in the carl box show i don't think people will get upset because they're all good friends of la bavich anyway but the idea is the idea is that how you have to be considerate and think about another yid so we walk away and we conclude this urim of this week with this message with this message of alvas israel when you know there's another yet who has an issue and uh it is grappling with an issue it should bother you make a call and then email ask someone else to help whatever whatever it is so everyone should have a great day of shabbos and will recontinue the mimer monday zeitgeist only pursuers take care
