Tanya By Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowicz Sec4 Chap13 “How can we receive everlasting Chesed from Hashem”

all right welcome to tonight's Tonya class as you all know we are studying Tonya we're in the section called Egret ha'qodesh and we are holding chapter 13 Perico gimel of Tonya Garrity kodesh so as you know since tanya is the Bible of mysticisms every single chapter lays down important foundations of mysticism and really every chapter even though it's part of the whole book it's really independent but it's connected to the obviously the whole idea of mysticism and specifically each chapter something revolutionary and novel this chapter lays the ground for and in this chapter the outer it lays out something so beautiful and that is we all would love to have God's blessings and God's kindness in the term of Kabbalah it's called Hesed guess it is kindness where it's the flow of energy so we all want to have tested of a shem who wouldn't want to have Castle ocean right we all want customer Shem now here the author who shows us how we can all have the custard of a shell casin kindness of a son of God we can all achieve that how do we achieve that so the author begins and he brings down a verse from Psalms for King David in this beautiful chapter speaks about when he was hiding from king Saul from king Saul that wanted to kill him he was hiding and the people where he was hiding told Saul he was hiding they have to run away but nevertheless even though these people try to hurt him they squeal they snitched on him to Sheol and his life was in danger but nevertheless he still prayed for them and he still wanted to see them successful I mean that's a real hero that's real hustle but in that chapter King David says as follows law raph - how great is your kindness referring to the kindness of Hashem Asha it's a Fanta LaRocca that you've hidden for the people that are in all of you that had years of sham being all of God out of the holsombach you've put in place of people that have trust in you negative nailed on in faith all human beings even though all people might necessarily behave the proper way but he still prayed that for the people that trust Michelle now there's many many different ways to look at a verse as we all know in The Tortoise shop is the simple meaning his remiz there's the different codes and different ideas Jewish homiletic and so it is the capitalistic insight every single verse is every single verse as for waste look at it and in vir there's many many levels but the simple verse says that King David is is praying Taschen have to give the great kindness and he says for two types of people one type of people is so Fanta so Fanta means that they're hidden that means they serve God in secrecy and then it says in the same verse negative nailed on in a revealed way negative means everyone sees so we're talking about secrets are we talking about hidden what type of people were talking about they serve God secretly or they they serve God in a revealed way and as you can say okay god bless everybody with great wonderful stuff the people that serve you hiddenly openly I mean which one of your blessing so the author explains it's also here that work takes into a beautiful journey into who we are and not only who we are but we all know we all are in a summer we have a soul and the soul has a Shailesh in its root and your author of such like this that in life now there's many types of people but for this conversation the al-tohra said there's two types of people two types of people what does that mean in the way they serve God what does that mean and we're gonna generalize to two types I think there's obviously multiple layers and levels etc fits to this class and this tanya trapped in times almost teaching us to times of people ladies serve God's one type of person serves God in the so to speak track or highway of cussin and the other one serves God in the highway of guru I'll explain them in what custody the one who is but first the Hazzard Highway and the Guru highway now why does somebody before we get into our custody who is but why does somebody serve God based on passage and the other person serve God based on Vora is the algebra says based on the source of that person's soul on high that means like this if the person's soul is sourced on high in the right side you mean the right of God they're gonna serve God with cussin and in a minute we're going to explain what custom means practically versus if your soul is sourced on high in the left side of God you will serve God in a way of guevara okay so now we already have two terminologies that we have to explain one is acid serving not an oppressor and then serving God out of guru the right of God the left of God two powerful things which were going to discuss it's obviously a heavy cabbalistic chapter and the outermost Plains of this let's start only because now it does it this way we're gonna start with the left versus the rice first is the right somebody that serves God with guru and again this the reason is because you're the it's not about it's not about this person is Christ at his friends guru really what doctor was saying is you behave based on your soul and based on your soul if it's right oriented you're gonna behave a certain way and if it's left oriented you're gonna behave a different way so if you see for example a person serving God with cussin what does that mean he's a kind person yes on a certain level he's kind but really what the author was saying is that the Shirish this person's soul where comes from is from right and therefore he's serving God in cussin same they also you see someone serving are Magura is he behaving in Girish or discipline and what you're gonna go into in a minute but what's the reason because go back to this person of soul and if you're able to take a magnifying glass see where it's coming from it's coming from left oriented in God okay now does that mean that a person can switch from right to left and person let's say is the custom personnel you can actually drove with a guru / person is a group person you can switch over the cutter and that we're going stay tuned as we say that we're gonna learn in this chapter and this is a very very important chapter because you see a lot of times on as well what do you want this is my nature okay could you change your nature wait and we'll find out couldn't you change your nature okay so let's first talk about someone that serves God left oriented which in simple Kabbalah is called Guevara what is Guevara mean so the algebra says you find two attributes when someone's left oriented number one is he's gonna do things in a I'm gonna say the word in Kabbalah Kabalah stick terms Hebrew and I'll translate in a synonym manner anybody that's left oriented is gonna do something in it's in some manner what a sentence Amin contraction what does contraction mean he's gonna do everything the minimum the minimum well if he can get it he or she if he or she can get away with the minimum they're gonna do it knows if someone that's left oriented let's say they have to give charity how much they're gonna give whatever the minimum requirement is and whatever they can get away with that's what they're gonna do is it bad a good there's no judgments here it's just a fact if someone is basically watch people if they're just looking to get away with the minimum requirement guess what not their fault they're gora why because that's what the soul is from will soon talk about could they change it if they want to and so on and so forth but the natural tendency of someone that's a left oriented person is they are going to do things in a way of Simpson what it seems to mean again they're gonna get away with the minimum it's not bad or good it's just a fact of life so someone that's so it works both ways if someone's Glore oriented they're gonna get away with the minimum if you see someone trying to get away with the minimum they're growing inted one plus one is two and it goes both ways okay that is point number one number two another interesting thing about a left oriented oriented person is they are going to do things in a concealed way for example they give charity they're gonna do it no one else no one else they're not looking for plaques on buildings they're not looking for anyone to know they gave the donation anonymous so generally speaking when someone says I gave anonymous or I'm going to give an animus or sony announced on animus one thing you know about the person is that what which are is even right or left left not back again there's no judgments there are no judgments it's just effect so someone says anonymous whatever it is now I gave you an example of charity but there's other things there's all of its vote there's 613 commandments so if any if you if you yourself or me nothing you should judge other people but if if people do things a in a the minimum requirement of the commandments it could be anything for example building a circle you can build a sucker just the you and your spouse and your immediate family or you can build a nice big circle rights if you're gonna gather weight the minimum requirements it's coming from guru well for example you know the law is you need to have three walls in a bit now obviously you need really four walls could you get away with three three walls in a bit yeah now is that coming from right or left if you want to do it at minimum hello you have the answer take for example buying a pair Tulln so you can buy a nice expensive beautiful tree or Trillin that's right but you walk in the store and say listen what's the cheapest period felon guess what again no judgment it's coming from guru why is that because the soul it's coming from the left side we're not blaming we're not judging it's a fact you wanna buy a mezuzah and the person says okay what do you want the cheapest one it's give me a simple kosher mezuzah what does that mean left oriented conscience studying Torah okay let's sit and study Torah now I related my obligation today is that right or left left so again whether it's Torah whether it's myths mode or prayer I did my prayers for today but meditate a little and prayers spend time thinking about God no I did my job where is that coming from it's coming from left oriented it's coming from guru and that's because the so on hi is coming from on the left side so that is basically one personality type personality to have again Ghora comes from left oriented they will do things minimum prayer Torah study my throat and in everything in life if you are a friend of theirs even socially emotionally they will just be available the minimum a minimum so anyone does the minimum again we're not judging it's just because they're left oriented okay and obviously if you mentioned one is minimum and second thing is in a concealed way let's go to the fun side one of the songs write your answers it means the soul comes from right if when he comes down to the swirl it's all about custard so what does that mean I said practically essence expansion was the expansion prayer right prayer a Torah study mitts vote they're gonna want to do it as much as possible as great as possible they want to get a pair to fill in a give me the most expensive here the nicest peered fill in the sukkah give me the biggest sucker the best soca the Shabbat they're gonna want to have Shabbat really beautiful and plentiful inviting guests to your home they're gonna want to have as many guests as possible any Mitzvah prayer they'll spend as much time as I can praying and try to meditate on the greatness of God and try to really really plug in from a beautiful place of of expansion and plentiful and the whole attitude and those in attitude an attitude it's all about plentiful whether it's player whether it's total study whether it's mitts vote there's no such thing as looking at the clock and there's no such thing as a limit as much as possible Heaney I'm ready to do where does that come from that's a right oriented person custard which comes from the right part of God now that's an attitude not only in the attitude but in the actual service whether it's castled whether it's charity whether it's with any of one of these 613 mitzvot whether it's torah study whether it's prayer guess what is there a limit to how many myths vote and how many hours they're gonna study torah or how much they're gonna pray if you're hasit oriented guess what there is no limit there's no limit there is no limit and guess what are you gonna do your your mitts vote are you gonna pray you can study in public absolutely it's all from Crescent so here you have a I think I painted a nice 3d picture right of the right side and the left side with the soul comes from Castle angora where that's it basically there's no limits it's in public with joy with happiness with pleasure and the left side is I think it in my requirement right so both an attitude both in in in the mode of service secrecy two different worlds two different worlds now so here comes a phenomenal idea so based on this guess what someone says listen this is where I am case is closed right so I'm a cat said you know life is great but maybe the times where and you need to cut back and certain things or someone is a very very disciplined everything is counted for accounted for Exelero maybe you go try to jump out of the box no this is who I am right seemingly hey that's where I'm from can I change it and here comes the outdrive and heat reduces something so beautiful nice is like this there's a concept in Kabbalah cold he's Scala lute hum II don't what does he scholar to me don't mean that means even though a meter for example Hasidism either it's a track Brewer is a meter it's a track Kabbalah says it's something which is called his cowl Oh Tommy don't wear every single meter is interconnected there's no such thing as custard runs on its own track and glue runs on its own track and there is no connection meaning to say is you're a human being so yes granted that your soul is from the right side and therefore you're naturally custard or your souls on the left side you're naturally guru but guess what that is nice and good but because of its scowl Tommy don't every person has to have has to have and does have and does have that said angora everyone has both now what does that mean we just said if you're right oriented it's all about houses and if you left oriented it's all about guru so what I mean his scowl ooh Tommy don't and the altar comes along and he says like this there's a concept in Kabbalah would call Gilly and Helen really means revealed and Helen means concealed what does that mean that means like this if you are right oriented and therefore you behavior is custard expansion no limits or the opposite if your left oriented and you guru and everything is counted for and every second everything you secretly that is called your gilli behavior that is you reveal behavior that sort of speak the clause that you show to the world that's the way you interact with the world however on the concealed level on the Helen level you have the opposite neither it means everybody has both nobody has one wire everybody's wired with both wires everybody has the faster than the guru wire what does that mean let's take for example as we saw before with guru let's say somebody in the revealed sense of the word they are a group person everything is accounted for I did my job and so on and so forth that's the revealed warrior but guess what you have a concealed wire that is colle cussin you have a concealed wire of essence and because you have a concealed wire because said if you tap into that wire what kind of lesson can you produce infinite covered this person that the revealed wire is guru it means everything is limited and everything is concealed could they break out of their shell and bring out that concealed wire tap into the concealed wire absolutely it's their wire so this idea that you're left oriented the honor of a size is correct but not correct its left orient because you revealed wires connected to that but we all have a concealed wire which is wired into the opposite force of right and therefore if you if you're if you're able willing to tap into that concealed wire you can perform crass said without limits the same person that everything is give me the cheapest one right I did my time you can say to them come on open up your heart reaching within your soul what are you really saying tap into that concealed wire that you have it's yours that is plugged in 100% not a borrowed plug in a real plug into the rillette right you could not change he's not about changing you can bring out that concealed wire and all the sudden do wrestle without a limit prey without limits study without limits and guess what you're not schizo you don't need to see a therapist there's nothing wrong with you all you did was you pulled out but concealed wire and it's and it's really interesting because you can watch people they have a certain pattern everything is calculated everything they're not willing to jump over anything and all of a sudden get inspired these are where'd that come from and the answer didn't come from anywhere they had it within them it's their concealed wire and they kept concealed but now they're tamping into it and now they can live and then for the life an infant life of Tora MIT's Lord pray or etc the same thing also someone that seen that's right oriented and they're always giving and they're always doing etc does that mean that they cannot tap into their concealed wire which is connected to Gura and be more organized be more disciplined and be more regulated be more calculated where appropriate sure and it's not like they have to change anything and that's the that's the goodness that's the major evolutionary idea doctor was saying here that if you're a certain personality it's not like you have to change your personality keep your personality just tap into another talent that you have and the outdoor brings the famous example we know that in the talent in the Mishnah the Mishnah there is two rabbis two leading rabbis I'll say the names you'll know them based Shammai and base hello they saw my all throughout the top of Mishnah they're known they're always strict they're always strict if there's a stray there's a lean your position a strict position nine out of ten or nine point nine out of ten who's taking the strip position they shall mine if on the other hand there's a there's another rabbit called based Hillel they were always present always lenient if there was an opportunity to be lenient and to be strict who's taking the lenient position base hello so anywhere in the Mishnah any argument look at any argument there's always and any arguments are lenient an astringent position always that's the definition of an argument may be ami will always take the strict position they tiller will always take the lenient position always as a rule however even though I just said always there is there is there is exception to the rule we're based shammai who's always strict we'll take a lenient position and base Hillel who's always leaning it's gonna take a strict position and the question is well where did that come from and what's the answer the author who tells us yes because in a revealed way base shammai is left oriented and he comes from his soul comes from a left place and that's why he's stringent but in the concealed wiring he also has custody and he has a huge amount percussive and therefore B Sharma could be lenient also if he's willing to tap into it and it times he does base he'll Oh on the other hand his revealed attribute is what I said because it's sourced we're in the right oriented of God but guess what this times he taps into his inner wire and his concealed wire tells in Vora and that's the dominant force and all of a sudden he's strict so that's the idea of what he scowled to me don't every single person hasn't every person has it take for example the also brings a beautiful example another strong example we find in the Bible who was the first Jew Abraham Abraham was known as a Ishika said he would sit there and bring strangers into his house he would feed them he would clothe them it was all about giving all about giving up to the point where God came to visit him so you think he'd be selfless for a few minutes okay no guests right don't bother me I'm talking to God no he saw from the corner of his eyes some guests outside he told God hold on God I love you and I'd love talking to you and it's really really great the big honor but guess what we got to take care of the guests yes it is knocking right that's the Abraham was known as a Ishika said through and through so and the reason is because he came from the right and if we discuss it but let me ask a question like this Abraham God tested him and he told him to bring up his son as a sacrifice now you think Tess said kindness love could go ahead and slaughter somebody your own son no how do you think he did it obviously gruha we didn't even have grew her from there was now there was not a there was not a any energy of guru and Abraham's life and the answer is well the altar was saying you see he did have guru and it's not like he had to borrow it it's not I get to transform himself he tapped in to the concealed power of who which he had which comes to the left place which is sitting within Abraham just like every one of us have both and what's interesting is when Abraham did that you know what God told them and very powerful message God told him now now I know that you really got fearing because until my don't know you got fearing why you're a nice guy you're right oriented you're doing cussin you're helping people you're nice to people you're kind to people there's no limits that's who you are that's your that's your revealed needle because it's coming from the writer okay what's the one that you're being so nice however to dig deep into your concealed me dog oorah and pull it out and perform Europe and to perform Gura and do that only because I commanded you it's not your nature you have it but it's not your nature your nature is to be kind now I know you got fearing because you're willing to pull out a concealed attribute to help do great things now so the point is what do we see from here that ultimately everybody serves God on both levels just like Abraham everybody serves God in both levels even Yitzhak the second the patriarchs Abraham Isaac gets Hawk the instruct that's known he served God what would gora he was left oriented now but the fact is even though you took was guru in his outwardly service was gruha but there were times he was also cussing when he dug deep within his in his personality now so in other words let's to paint this picture clear a coin today out there uh but even though everybody has a slant a reveal slant whether it's car said Rua and that will affect the way they serve God and the way they relate to people and the way they live their lives which is all they way than a Shama is but again the author who says every single person everyone has he scowled to me don't we have the opposite wire we have the opposite neither if you're constantly agura if you agree have Carson which is also source back to the right or the left of God and we can pull it out if and we want to just like Abraham pulled out the guru when God commanded him now so therefore is there an excuse to say ah that's not my style there's not just things not your style everything's your style the question is do reveal style you concealed style now when do you pull what out very simple just like Abraham he pulled out what he needed based on what God wanted from him so now King David and such thing as a coin cabal that says King David's from the side of Gura King desire grew up it's a king David comes to God and King David tells the God like this a raft of car this the way the Israeli operate after it interprets the verse from the King David's he says to God how great is your kindness what does that mean we want you God to give us and bless us with not just regular kindness great kindness but the question is why should God give us great kindness why so King David says and this is very powerful because we know that the way you behave that's the energy you cause from above so for example if you think life is great you don't have any other God gives you God gives you a great life if you think life is terrible guess what okay God will give you a terrible life life as a mirror it's whatever you believe it is that's what happens and saying I heard a story about a person that came to a Sabich he was having troubles difficulties and up to the point where they actually said that he was gonna go blind and he came begging for the topic that the topic should pray to God on his behalf so the topic said the righteous man said I'll pray in your behalf let me do my part but I have something for you to do he's okay well tell me I'm ready to do anything and he said I want you to start and being grateful for God for all the wonderful things that you have be grateful for everything he stole eyesight and sure enough he followed the Sabbats advice and he started to be grateful for everything that God gave him the righteous man Sabich the saying prayed for him he was grateful and great of everything it sound like a macaroni you'll be fine you'll be able to see sure the wild way later he went back to the hospital to check his eyes where they thought he was a little blind he said guess what you're totally fine you get to go what does that mean what does that mean very simple when you're grateful for all the great things God gives you you know what God gives your life gratefulness he gives you great life but unfortunately if your I don't want to see the opposite guess what that's what you're gonna have so comes along King David he says to God look at the Jewish people the Jewish people are full of hazards what kind of hazard infinite present and it was very simple take somebody that's guru and from the side of guru because he comes from the left oriented Kingdom he's a victim he says no no but his inner strength is what discussant and the proof is take someone that's really always disciplined and organized and he does exactly halves to me come to me said listen I'm begging you we need help I need you to go out of your comfort zone I need you do something you're not ready to do whether it's someone struggling and listen we need to help them whether it's a financial thing or we want you to study more taller than you're ready ready to study or pray more so they're a becomes hast got to study more taller and pray more what was on all these people that were calculated all sudden are like willing to do anything they're willing to pray as much as needed and they're willing to study Torah as much as needed they're willing to give charity as much as needed to do any Mitzvah in it without counting why is that because inside every person even this person that's left oriented has infinite amount of consent because we all have a need that person has the inner wire of cussin which gets sourced in the right side of God on the other hand on the other hand someone that's left or it's someone that's right oriented which means he's full of cressid which way some actually constant were to be tough honey it's be talked enough God which is Right oriented people that trusting on Israeli oriented how someone that's right oriented what kind of half days you can do infinite amount of customs infinite amount of custard so bottom line King David says to God everybody has and is ready to do infinite and doesn't fit in a percussive if the person's right oriented so and a revealed way they do in for the amount of cussin if the person's left oriented push them against the wall they're gonna do it but and they do it for the mountain Crescent said therefore King David says to God because the Jewish people do infinite amount for us and so what do you need to do you need to Margraff took all you need to give them tremendous has said in in the words of Kabbalah is called rob consent what's the idea of Rochester because we know again just not to get lost in Kabbalistic zone here but we know there's two levels in the highest levels of the flow of energy from God in the world of Kessler it's called zeir anpin which is a small face little translation and our comp in the long face not long god forbid in a negative way but long in terms of like a lot of blessings yes it comes from Eric Hampton and what happens is because Ralph contestant comes from a very very high level so what happens is if God is giving you customs from a lower level so in a lower level they could be opposition Letson God says you know I want to get this person a great life so the Satan in the 8th Sahara the devil can come along why giving the person a great life the person doesn't deserve it and it's ruled for argument and guess what and it's possible that the flow could stop whether its permanent temporarily the flow can stop but if the sense that is coming from God from what place from Rob has said over there from that level it's like a super custard and nobody can stop it there's no room for opposition not the devil not the evil inclination nobody the cleat boat nobody can stop it so King David says to God because the Jewish people do what kind of hustle they do infinity I said again like either they're doing from a revealed Way of Cass said or if they're doing it from a concealed way of Cass said either way it's it's it's infinite cast Chris Carson has no limits that's definition of caster there's no limits there's no rules they're willing to do anything at any time so they're from they got King David pleased with God that rocker said give the Jewish people Roth custard and then if you have real castle none guess what there's no opposition if you have Rob castles from God let me tell you life is really really great way behind way beyond any of your dreams or any of your expectations now so but waste on what is king king David beseeching God not based on empty promise based on the facts of life that every one of us either do infinite amount professors or every one of us have the ability to do it and we'll do it so therefore if we want to receive God's infinite blessings infinite ascent where there's no opposition please do one thing and one thing only just do Crescent without limits whether it's custard of charity whether it's custard of doing mitzvahs whether it's custard of prayer or Torah do things without limits stop calculating and again if we're able to do from a reveal where it's wonderful and if you don't do the reveal you want to do from either way and this way King David can come to God and say give them Ralph Cossa and God will give us rock asset and you have Rob castle from God guess what you don't need anything else you have the greatest and the most powerful blessings that exists all because we do our part and King David's our fighter to to God that God should give us our outcasts bed we'll all have Rob has said great beautiful infinite blessings
