09 Derech Hashem - Perfection
Today's vad has been dedicated by Habocha Hoshu. (speaks foreign language) Elis Al-Mazada in honor of my brother of the Sha'yah. (speaks foreign language) So we're here in Denik Hasheb. We are in the first Gaelic, the second chapter, called Beethach El-Sabria, okay? Now, like I told you, the saintly builds a cloud on top of clouds. I'll try to pull out one you say today. We're gonna need to read a little bit, okay? And again, sometimes it speaks in an abstract way. So we have to try to hold on to the point. So last time when we started this parrot, we saw that Ha'kol Shborhu wants to be made to him, right? If you're looking at your on page 18, I have your book today, page 18 in the second paragraph. (speaks foreign language) (speaks foreign language) When Ha'kol is coming from Ha'kol it's coming from Ha'kol, it can't be a little bit. (speaks foreign language) But obviously, it can only give as much as the creations could receive, okay? Since their creations and they're not God, they can't have the same level as him. (speaks foreign language) (speaks foreign language) And since true goodness only is within himself, so it makes sense that he wants to give you from himself. That's what we did last time. Now, I wanna go a little further and build your self. (speaks foreign language) Ralph, you want a book? Get him a book, page 18. Okay, put some on the table, okay? Okay, page 18, honey. (speaks foreign language) I mean, the way he's being made to us is by allowing us to attach ourselves to him. As we're going to see later, he refers to (speaks foreign language) We'll see, it's a develops, but he's gonna allow us to attach ourselves to him. (speaks foreign language) To the level, to the degree that they're able to attach. (speaks foreign language) A creation which cannot refer to himself as a (speaks foreign language) himself. He named (speaks foreign language) but by being attached to him, it will come to them. (speaks foreign language) (speaks foreign language) So now, two points I'll touch, and we're gonna have to develop it slowly with time. There's the actual attachment to (speaks foreign language) which will perfect you, and make you (speaks foreign language) main what is by a (speaks foreign language) will come to you. The second thing is, it'll give you pleasure, okay? So a person wants pleasure, for sure. You wanna have time, you wanna have (speaks foreign language) No, pleasure. That means the thing that gives you the true pleasure and true happiness and true (speaks foreign language) This world is attachment to (speaks foreign language) So we try to find pleasure and (speaks foreign language) and (speaks foreign language) from the world around us, but that's not a real pleasure. For a person really wants to feel internally this (speaks foreign language) it only comes from the attachment with the (speaks foreign language) which will learn more about that. That's very important part of the way the human being was designed as to have (speaks foreign language) to feel this (speaks foreign language) and it has to come through the attachment and it has to come through the attachment to (speaks foreign language) Okay, we'll learn more about it. This is like the beginning of the (speaks foreign language) discuss this, okay? But he mentions it here, (speaks foreign language) since (speaks foreign language) when he created the world, (speaks foreign language) he wanted someone to (speaks foreign language) from his goodness, right? 'Cause he wanted someone to be (speaks foreign language) (speaks foreign language) So he created a plan how a person can be (speaks foreign language) So that means (speaks foreign language) was part of the plan. So if you want to know why (speaks foreign language) 'cause he wanted you to have pleasure, all right? You wouldn't say that, doesn't sound so religious, right? Hashem wanted you to have pleasure. That's why he created you. It should be (speaks foreign language) You want you to have pleasure? But there's a system by which you're gonna have the pleasure and the system is going to include you attaching yourself to him and we're gonna learn how to do that, okay? So far you're following the (speaks foreign language) Yeah, I wanna read one more paragraph and then speak. (speaks foreign language) The only one who could truly have this (speaks foreign language) of attachment is a person who acquires it. But let me see (speaks foreign language) but not that it came to you through a (speaks foreign language) meaning like by accident, he look like it's by you but not that you earned it, not that you own it. (speaks foreign language) What we have to do is we have to do some kind of work, okay? That means we have to create by ourselves some form of what we call the (speaks foreign language) to be solid, to be tough, to some degree, we have to acquire it ourselves and that will help us to be able to attach to our (speaks foreign language) because we have to be the same in order to attach, we have to have a similarity and then the attachment itself will intensify our level of (speaks foreign language) It's like a cycle. Again, (speaks foreign language) I get from the (speaks foreign language) what I get from the (speaks foreign language) which intensifies that attachment, I get pleasure but I have to start initiate the process. I have to initiate the process because I have to be similar to (speaks foreign language) to some degree to attach them. How can I be similar to (speaks foreign language) he's the creator, I'm the creation, he's (speaks foreign language) I'm hostile, how can I be attached? She says, well, I shouldn't infuse us with all the good meters, like just give it to us as a gift because then we still wouldn't be the same even though we have another and (speaks foreign language) then all these beautiful meters, if we were to get them as a gift, we're still not the same as Ashram, why not? Because Ashram has the (speaks foreign language) but he also would just be a (speaks foreign language) 'cause you got it, right? So let's say a person went and he worked hard and he built a business from scratch and he made his money or then his son just gets it (speaks foreign language) or if you went a lottery, that's (speaks foreign language) so to be (speaks foreign language) you have to be the (speaks foreign language) of the (speaks foreign language) you have to have it (speaks foreign language) you have to own it. So Ashram made a system like this. He's gonna explain it. Basically, we're in a world and we have tendencies to go the other way. There's a lot of things in the world that can remove us from the goodness and then we make the work and we acquire it. So whenever we acquire it, whatever degree we acquired it, we own that that (speaks foreign language) we own that (speaks foreign language) to some degree and that gives us an ability to attach that (speaks foreign language) because we're (speaks foreign language) and when we attach that (speaks foreign language) it's like you get the same (speaks foreign language) from the tree, you're getting back from the (speaks foreign language) which is intensifying that to make us and that's how you grow, it's a cycle. We'll explain that throughout. So I just wanna get something clear here. Very, very clear. Because you could only attach to Hashem, right? If you are similar to Hashem, right? You have to have Schlamas, Hashem Haslamas, you have to have Schlamas. He's the Baal Haslamas, you have to be the Baal Haslamas. You have to have that similarity, okay? Good? Now, the only one who truly defined as Schlamas Hashem, as he explained earlier, right? If you look in the first paragraph, (speaks foreign language) Only Hashem can truly be referred to as a (speaks foreign language) because he has no (speaks foreign language) The (speaks foreign language) and no one else has Schlamas. The (speaks foreign language) anything that you think is called (speaks foreign language) (speaks foreign language) We only call it (speaks foreign language) (speaks foreign language) So only Hashem has (speaks foreign language) and we have to attach to Hashem from Schallen. We're full of Hashem, how do we attach to Hashem? So what we do is we have to acquire a little bit of Schlamas. So in a certain respect, we could call you a Schallen and that allows you to attach to Hashem. And through that attachment, everything comes, right? (speaks foreign language) It's also like a joke, what does that mean? I have Schlamas, right? Let's say, let's try to envision, to try to understand my point. Let's say I take the biggest on half in the world, right? I take it with me, her school, it's on half. I say, okay, that man has Schlamas of Anava, right? He has perfection of Anava. So he could attach to Hashem, let's say, right? Me, (speaks foreign language) or anybody, we're very young and we definitely don't have Schlamas in Anava. Maybe we're on the way to have Schlamas, where like maybe 600 miles away and we're taking the small steps to go there, but we're still Hashem, the gambler. So basically you're saying, in other words, I can't attach to Hashem, I can't enjoy life, I can't be Nene, I can't be Masanigal Hashem until I get to be from a Hershwood, till then I'm cooked. That's basically what you're saying. And the crash is even on the mayor himself, because whatever level he got, it's Masanigal has to assign us to, he's human, right? So how does he attach to Hashem? We're gonna call him a Schlam, it's a fake thing, it's not real. You have to be Schlam to attach to Hashem, otherwise you can't attach. You have to be the Bala Shlamas to attach to Hashem, otherwise you can't attach. So basically, how do we ever attach? Like how does the system work, it doesn't make sense. Do you understand my caution? If I don't copy my caution, it's a very philosophical question, because he set up a premise that we can't understand how that could work in reality, because even me and you at our young age has to be able to have some attachment, must be able to have some attachment. 'Cause if we don't have attachment, we can ever grow, and we can ever have Tainuk, and we can ever have the necessities of a human being in this world. We need that. We need Tainuk, we need to be Nanamutu Voi, we have to feel that attachment, our true growth is coming from the actual attachment. We need that, right? That's a necessity, it's a necessity for a human being. And you ever heard the statement, no one could be perfect? It could ever be perfect. Don't try to go for perfection, it could ever be perfect. So if you could ever be perfect, that means you could never attach that shaab. If you could never attach that shaab, so have the system work, right? That's the question that we have to understand, it's a basic question. But he's saying over here that we can have a Baal-Hush lameness. You can have, we could call you shaalim, and what you have is real shaalimness. It's enough real shaalimness to attach it to a shaab, even though in the big picture you have a shaalim, all right? So from here we're learning an unbelievable principle of depth, an unbelievable principle of depth, from the dara-hashaab, okay? Which is as follows. Avoy-housa-shaab, every madrega of avoy-housa-shaab, every madrega, from the lowest level on the ladder to the highest level on the ladder, have the same DNA, okay? That's something that's unique to avoy-housa-shaab, it doesn't exist in the world, such a thing. 'Cause in the world, in a materialistic, tangible, successful, talented person developed human being, you could be working towards it, but you don't have any of it yet, all right? But in avoy-housa-shaab, you could have the full DNA of the highest level, but on a smaller dose, okay? So it means it takes Yershamayim to do certain things that we do. It takes Kedusha to do certain things that we do in life. It takes Emuna to do certain things that we do. So it is the DNA of the same level of a real full-blown Yershamayim who is living in Yershamayim 24/7, but at the small level, we have the same DNA, the exact same DNA of the other masala, okay? Now, we put into a situation in life that there's a certain expectation of us with the tests that we have to the level that we're on, to be able to have the right dose of Yershamayim, Kedusha, Devakis, Bhattara, whatever you want, we have to have the right dose to make the decisions in the level that we're on to make the decision of going away from Khisrinus to Schlenz, we have the right dose. And Yersham puts us in situations and he develops for us a platform from where we have to apply these doses that we have. So that's called shawlay because we don't look at the bigger picture, we don't look at the end product. We have to look at your life as a platform of avarida. And over here is expected upon me to acquire through my tests these to make these, solidify these levels of Yershamayim, Avashasham, whatever you want into real acquisitions through the platform I'm in. And therefore that's called shawlayim. It's not the shalamus of Asham in the complete sense. Asham is complete without shumkhus or in his makhlaam. But the way Akhosh Mohr created a path that we can be dovuk to him, how could we even start the process? How's the shaykh to start the process? So if Schlenz was like some type of tangible, finished product and you're trying to go for it and reach towards it, you'll never get there. Either you will or you won't, but you probably won't. And even if, I don't even know if a shaykh, but even if it was shaykh, you'll basically not be able to have debakers till the end of your life. That's impossible. So what did Asham do? Asham created for us, each and every one of us, a life, with our personalities, with our age bracket, with the mats of that we're in, we created a platform for Avogito. And our work is only in that platform. So all we have to care about. And in that platform, we have to create what we call perfection in that platform. In your shaykh that Avogito, in your Nakuda of where you have to work, you have to be complete there. But it's not just complete there, like finish the mission. You're employing the same DNA of the greatest man. You're using the same DNA, just on a small dose, which is expected of you. And you're putting it in to be able to make the right decisions in your life. And therefore you acquire perfection. Because perfection is what it is. You're a Shamayim, Anova, Hatov, it is what it is. So you're acquiring that DNA. You have to acquire that DNA. But you acquired it in your platform, in your degree that you're supposed to, based on your life's decisions that you have to make. And therefore it could be called Schlamus. It's able to be referred to as Schlamus. When you make that Schlamus, then you're able to make that Vegas on that level. That Vegas intensifies your Schlamus, and then you go to the next platform. And the next platform. So you're constantly acquiring Schlamus, which almost sounds like a contradiction, because Schlamus in a perfectionist's brain doesn't understand what that means. How could you, your whole life, you're acquiring Schlamus. Either I'm trolling or not, it's a black and white thing. It's not a black and white thing. Because where you're at, you're acquiring Schlamus. Then you go to the next level, and you acquire Schlamus. Your whole life, you're being Isaac, and acquiring Schlamus. And that's why your life is full with pleasure. Because at every level of attachment, there's a ready time hook. At that level of attachment, there's a ready time hook. And then it intensifies, and then it grows. Then it grows. That's the basic idea. I'll try to go over it again tomorrow. I have a few more ampers to bring out, and it will stop here for today.
