Shalom Aleichem.
Speaker A:Thank you for turning up early.
Speaker A:Appreciate it.
Speaker A:Special thank you to Rab Nachman and Zeitlin and everyone, all the Masadrim.
Speaker A:If I could be dedicate the Shia to my grandmother Alev Shon, whose yots that is today.
Speaker A:Rachel Bat Moshe any his service we get the limb which be aliyah for Hanishama Am Main.
Speaker A:So we're still in Kaftalid in Terekaf, Dalit in Tinyan, the second chalic of Lukut Imran.
Speaker A:And we looked last week, whenever we last learned two weeks ago, we were looking at a number of different makaras, mostly in Mishle and in Chazal, which indicate the unification of the body and the mind.
Speaker A:You can't really separate the two.
Speaker A:We looked at quite a few examples.
Speaker A:And in this particular Torah, Rabbi Nachman mentions several times that simchezer refua is not only an actual refur, it's actually a way to avoid illness in the first place, because all illnesses he's claiming actually come from some sort of hasoran or kilkul in simcha.
Speaker A:So he uses the language of hach me ha reifim.
Speaker A:So everyone knows that Rav Nachman is not.
Speaker A:Is not a huge fan of Reifem.
Speaker A:Just check out paragraph nun in Sichus Iran.
Speaker A:It's one of the longest paragraphs in the whole Sich Hus Iran, where he goes to town on reifem and medicines.
Speaker A:So just check that out.
Speaker A:But it's interesting that over here he doesn't say rafim, it says hachmeh rafim.
Speaker A:Now, hachmarefim means that it's the wise amongst the rayfim.
Speaker A:Now, what makes a doctor a wise doctor versus just a doctor?
Speaker A:So it's interesting that the whole concept of chachma is something that Rav Nachman talks about in.
Speaker A:In Nun Giml in Tinana.
Speaker A:I thought maybe I'll look at it briefly, but I'm just tell it to you outside first.
Speaker A:Basically, makshava is a standard alone.
Speaker A:And Rav Nachman over there, Nun gimel, he tells us that noidali Akshav.
Speaker A:Just now it became clear to him with a tremendous Yidiya that a Makshava's yakam nuid is extremely valuable.
Speaker A:A thought has incredible it can create an adava mamosh.
Speaker A:But then he explains that chochma is even more valuable than one single thought.
Speaker A:Because chachma, he explains, is where you take really makshavas together and you create a binyan.
Speaker A:So if I'm understanding that correctly, what Rav Nachman is basically telling us is that for someone to be a Hakam versus he's got the axiomatic information, he's a doctor because he passed the exams, he knows the actual book information.
Speaker A:But to be a Hakam, you have to be beyond that.
Speaker A:What's that mean?
Speaker A:So in the language of Rev Nachman in Nun gimel, I'll just quote it to you briefly right now is made known to me.
Speaker A:The great value of a makshava kiya machshava ya karam al is exceedingly, exceedingly valuable.
Speaker A:Actually creates one thought can actually create something really literally.
Speaker A:Shi eishlem kiyom kolayamim shiz kamu ha' alamois.
Speaker A:As long as all the ulamas exist, which is really forever, that thought has a repercussion forever in all the ulamas.
Speaker A:Kolzman hashe Hashem Yitz barakh all the time that baruch hu.
Speaker A:And then it says, it doesn't say what is next.
Speaker A:But, and this is my personal understanding why he didn't want to, why Ravnoson didn't say more.
Speaker A:In the words of Rav Nachman, there's a Rashi and Dvarim posse Zion.
Speaker A:Where on the.
Speaker A:On the posse.
Speaker A:I don't have any other powers besides me.
Speaker A:So Rashi says the lashan.
Speaker A:What's it mean, don't have any other powers?
Speaker A:For how long should that be?
Speaker A:Kozman shaani kayim?
Speaker A:As long as I exist.
Speaker A:So as long as Hashem exists, which of course is forever, that's my understanding of what's missing there.
Speaker A:But wisdom is much greater.
Speaker A:What you think that's what's going up on your mind right now.
Speaker A:The chochma husha bayna b' chokhmaso binyaminim sikhlay.
Speaker A:He creates buildings with his.
Speaker A:So then he goes on to say, it's gotta be sincere that when a person's coming up with an opinion, it's gotta because he wants this to understand Hashem's Torah lishma, as opposed to impress or loyalishma.
Speaker A:So comes along.
Speaker A:My understanding here is very simple.
Speaker A:All my understanding is very simple.
Speaker A:If you've got a hacham of a roifer, that means he looks at the whole body as a binyan.
Speaker A:That means you don't look at one part of the body and just exclusively diagnose the person's illness based on that one part of the body.
Speaker A:That's what Rambam says.
Speaker A:I think I have the quote here.
Speaker A:Rambam actually talks about how extremely difficult it is for a reifer to give medication.
Speaker A:And he says, why?
Speaker A:Because you have to be that type of a reifer that has such a complete understanding of the entire body that when you hear what the ailment is of that particular dibur of that person and he shows you where it's hurting him, you have to know all the questions that need to be asked to have a full diagnosis of what might be connected to.
Speaker A:Because it's one unit, but there's many, many elements within that one unit of the body.
Speaker A:And part of that is the mindset.
Speaker A:So that's why it's so important not to a chachma.
Speaker A:Here is a binyan where you know all the rooms in the binyan and you can't say, oh, this pipe or this wall is insignificant.
Speaker A:We can take it where it might be a supporting wall, it might be supporting the roof.
Speaker A:Don't take that pipe out.
Speaker A:Every part of the binyan has been thought through and is there for a reason.
Speaker A:So a plumber may be completely exclusively stuck on the plumbing, electrician on the electric.
Speaker A:The one who's designing the entire place has to have wisdom.
Speaker A:He has to be a hakam to understand how everything interfaces, everything is interconnected.
Speaker A:So hach Mehal Rayfim really means.
Speaker A:My understanding is that you've got to be a Hakim who understands that the mind plays a huge role in the functioning of the body.
Speaker A:It goes so far that that mindset can actually affect the person's happiness or marashkoyer and atzvas.
Speaker A:So that's.
Speaker A:That's what.
Speaker A:Because that seems to be the connection that Rav Nachman is bringing.
Speaker A:So in that, I want to give you some quotes from Rambam that he actually brings in his.
Speaker A:In his medical writings, he lifts a number of items that strengthen your body, and then he gives you a list of items that diminish body strength.
Speaker A:And you and I, I think at first glance you would say, hey, what?
Speaker A:What strengthens the body is exercise, the right diet, nutrition, proper sleep.
Speaker A:So it comes along Rumbum.
Speaker A:So he gives us six items which affect increasing body strength, moderate wine consumption, moderate food ingestion, moderate physical exercise, anything that improves a bad cardiac or arterial condition, the heart and the flowing of the blood.
Speaker A:Now, number five and six is quite.
Speaker A:It's going to surprise us if we didn't know this Torah, the control of anger, and number six, the nurturing of happiness.
Speaker A:So you and I might think, what's that got to do with anything?
Speaker A:If you're going to be a Hakim, Amongst the rayfim, then you will know that those play a huge role.
Speaker A:Now when you look at the 10 items that he says diminish body strength, fasting, insomnia, can't fall asleep, anxiety.
Speaker A:Where do you see that on the body?
Speaker A:Okay, it might be in the facial expression.
Speaker A:And we've looked at Daga Balevich, we saw from Mishle, Ur Kavatsama's kina, that jealousy actually rots the bones.
Speaker A:But before it gets to the rotting of the bones, says Rabbeinu Yona on that.
Speaker A:Pasuk peregudala, Pasukh glammud in Mishle, that the body fat dissolves before it gets and the bones are very strong.
Speaker A:Yet jealousy in my mind can actually destroy my physical health and body.
Speaker A:So anxiety is actually is manifest.
Speaker A:But he's giving this as a list of an item that diminishes body strength.
Speaker A:And he adds, he actually adds the constant anxiety causes dissolution of body fat and loss of muscle substance.
Speaker A:Number four, severe emotional strain, stress.
Speaker A:Six, anger.
Speaker A:So that's number five.
Speaker A:Sorry.
Speaker A:Number six, constant desire for Nashim, for women.
Speaker A:Number seven, lust for money.
Speaker A:Eight, lust for political power.
Speaker A:These are items that diminish a person's physical strength.
Speaker A:Number nine, recurring thoughts that give a person no peace.
Speaker A:Almost all of these items are not in the physical arena.
Speaker A:They're all in the what's going on over here that affects my emotions?
Speaker A:And number 10, not only did it hit number 10 in the decalogue, it's number 10 in his list here.
Speaker A:Jealousy.
Speaker A:Jealousy diminishes a person's physical ability.
Speaker A:So it's interesting that it's very, I would say in the last two or three decades there's more and more medical writings that are coming out proving that there really is a connection between what we think and therefore how our body responds in response to that.
Speaker A:So I'm going to quote you here.
Speaker A:You've probably heard of him.
Speaker A:Research associate in ethno Pharmacology.
Speaker A:That's the study of how culture and known cures that are natural from plants etc.
Speaker A:In different cultures, when you put them all together, can actually give you a bigger picture of how to help a person who's got a physical ailment.
Speaker A:So research associate of Ethno pharmacology at Harvard and best selling author from chocolate to morphine, Dr.
Speaker A:Andrew Weil.
Speaker A:Quite famous.
Speaker A:So I'm going to quote to you word for word.
Speaker A:Your mind has tremendous power over the body and plays a huge role in your health.
Speaker A:It determines how every system within the body functions the respiratory system, the endocrine system.
Speaker A:Endocrine is the release of hormones that affect all the person's moods.
Speaker A:The lymph system, your immunological response, that's ability to stand up against germs.
Speaker A:The state of your entire physiology, all the functions and processes of all the combined systems of your body all come from what you do inside your head.
Speaker A:When the immune system becomes depressed, it is often the result of stress and what your mind focuses on.
Speaker A:Anger and resentment are physical poisons to the body.
Speaker A:And if we have poor coping skills, deficient social support and high stress, then the internal balance of our bodies may be easily upset and our resistance lowered.
Speaker A:Illness or disease then occurs more from our vulnerability than from external agents that would otherwise appear to be the cause of our health problems.
Speaker A:The more vulnerable we are, the more risk we run of getting sick.
Speaker A:The factors that place us at risk range from our attitudes to daily challenges.
Speaker A:Our coping with stress, the kind of food we eat, the genes we inherit, our mind, behavior, our environment and our genetic predispositions are the common contributors to disease.
Speaker A:More than anything else, it's our attitude to the daily hassles of life that mean the difference between coming down with an infection or remaining symptom free.
Speaker A:So that's just one quote, I've got others.
Speaker A:But the main point is that Rav Nachman is not being mechadish something, he's just telling us the reality.
Speaker A:That's what Rabbein himself, everything he's telling us is really reality.
Speaker A:The power of Hispodis, the power of Nikutas Davis, the power of Simcha, the power of his chaskus, the power of realizing that Yosh is literally non existent.
Speaker A:It's completely just a human induced experience.
Speaker A:But it's not reality.
Speaker A:So that's what I think.
Speaker A:One way to say rabbeinza is really like just putting it out there.
Speaker A:This is reality In God's dictionary.
Speaker A:Happiness is not only refor, it's actually the reason why a person will not come down with an illness in the first place.
Speaker A:So the last one I'll quote to you is Dr.
Speaker A:Weil, external material objects are never cause of disease.
Speaker A:That's a very powerful statement to say external material objects.
Speaker A:External material objects are never a cause of disease, merely agents waiting to cause specific symptoms.
Speaker A:He's talking about germs causing specific symptoms in susceptible, susceptible, susceptible hosts.
Speaker A:So if my body is weak, lack of sleep, stress, and I'm down on myself and I'm going through all sorts of things in my Life.
Speaker A:So that's which.
Speaker A:That's where my immune system is lowered.
Speaker A:And now I'm inviting whatever's out there, germs.
Speaker A:And my body's perfectly capable of resisting those germs in a strong body.
Speaker A:That's why we quoted Louis Pasteur, the discoverer of the germ, that the germ is nothing, the terrain is everything.
Speaker A:And in a healthy body, the germ is literally shut out from invasion.
Speaker A:It's an extraordinary point, but this is really.
Speaker A:I'm quoting because I think it's a hizzook for us.
Speaker A:Rabbeinzel doesn't need Rabbi Nachman doesn't need hizuk.
Speaker A:But he's saying, he's saying chachme ha ruyfim.
Speaker A:So I'm quoting from people who are, who are looking at the body and mind as one system.
Speaker A:You can't divorce the two.
Speaker A:So he ends up, rather than declaring war against disease with the hope of eliminating it, we ought to worry more about strengthening the resistance to disease and learning to live in balance with it more of the time.
Speaker A:So Rav Nachman is, when he talks about, let's say, Mara Shchara.
Speaker A:So strictly speaking, Mara is the gallbladder shore is literally black.
Speaker A:And it happens to be the gall bladder, as you probably know.
Speaker A:It's a pear shaped sac that is really made of muscle and it contains the secretions from the liver, which is technically it's called bile B I L E.
Speaker A:And it's yellow in color, which I find very interesting.
Speaker A:I'll share with you in a few moments why and it's secreted from this, the gallbladder into the intestines in preparation for when food is coming into the intestines from the stomach.
Speaker A:There's probably going to be all sorts of food in there that is acidic and acidic when the body is too acidic.
Speaker A:That's.
Speaker A:That's unhealthy for the body.
Speaker A:And one of the ways to keep it alkaline is the secretion of the bile.
Speaker A:This bile is actually interestingly yellow and yellow on the spheres.
Speaker A:I'm not a big maven and all these things, but happens to be on this thing familiar that the, the color yellow corresponds to bina.
Speaker A:So you got in the, in the top two spheres.
Speaker A:Ketta is chesed.
Speaker A:Gomorrah.
Speaker A:There's, there's no room for anything that's negative.
Speaker A:It's 100% love Chesed from Hashem Hokhma.
Speaker A:Beneath it is also 100%.
Speaker A:It's not as, as Qatar, but starting with bina, the next One down.
Speaker A:That's when din starts to appear.
Speaker A:So it's interesting that the yellow, which is bile and it's extremely bitter, Mara is extremely, extremely bitter.
Speaker A:But it's not on its own.
Speaker A:If I'm a Rafa and I would look at it, I say, who needs this?
Speaker A:It's so bitter it could damage the body.
Speaker A:And the answer is no, no, no, no.
Speaker A:It actually provides a constant balance within the body in order to maintain the alkaline level against anything that's acidic that's coming into the intestines.
Speaker A:So it's interesting that yellow appears twice in the spheres.
Speaker A:The next one is in Tiferet.
Speaker A:Tiferet, which you can translate as beauty, is referring to the constant balance within the bria.
Speaker A:And the body is always looking to balance itself out.
Speaker A:That's why when a person sweats, it's really the cooling system of the body or getting rid of toxicity every.
Speaker A:Everything the body does is brilliantly perfect because it's designed brilliantly perfect.
Speaker A:The misdiagnosis can often be because I'm looking at symptoms as a problem, when in fact the symptoms are the solution.
Speaker A:That's a different discussion, something that I think medicine is coming back towards that don't be afraid of symptoms, be afraid of the cause, deal with the cause.
Speaker A:Don't get stuck in symptoms.
Speaker A:America has a value system that glorifies symptoms, ignores the cause.
Speaker A:Let's.
Speaker A:Let's spend time analyzing the symptoms, and that is on.
Speaker A:Across the board.
Speaker A:Oh, you're in debt, no problem.
Speaker A:I'll give you a better rate and consolidate all your debts under this loan over here.
Speaker A:And I'm starting.
Speaker A:I refinance my house as though I'm.
Speaker A:I'm finding a solution to my problem.
Speaker A:All I'm doing is creating new debt with a new rate of interest.
Speaker A:It's.
Speaker A:The whole American system is doing this and Rav Nachman is here to help us understand.
Speaker A:Don't look at the Mara Shchora as something that is intrinsically negative.
Speaker A:Even though Rabbeinu Zaldas says in Mem Chep that he hates azvas.
Speaker A:But it's the Atzvas that's the.
Speaker A:It's the choice of azvas.
Speaker A:It's not Azfus itself.
Speaker A:It's the choice of how I'm going to look at the world that Hashem says, please don't go there, don't go there.
Speaker A:It's not reality.
Speaker A:This black dot, Mara Shhaira, it looks bitter if you taste it, and it looks bitter because it's black.
Speaker A:But this is this all this is what's going on all the rest of the time.
Speaker A:And hashem, we're going to immerse ourselves in what Rabbein Uzal is telling us in how to get out of here and stay in here.
Speaker A:Because he's making the most extreme, I think the most extreme statement I've ever.
Speaker A:Help me if you know it differently that anyone's ever said about Simcha mitzvah tamit.
Speaker A:I mean, each one of those words is loaded on its own.
Speaker A:But it's a mitzvah gedoylah against Vera gedoylah, but it's a mitzvah.
Speaker A:It's huge.
Speaker A:It's huge.
Speaker A:It's huge.
Speaker A:To exist, immersed inside.
Speaker A:It's inside be' simcha.
Speaker A:So how do I get inside this?
Speaker A:It really was Talked about in 23, in Torah half Gimmel.
Speaker A:We didn't get far enough for me to get into.
Speaker A:So I will be borrowing from there.
Speaker A:How do we grab the marshkara?
Speaker A:How do we grab the atmos?
Speaker A:And so it becomes absorbed in.
Speaker A:In all this.
Speaker A:And we'll be borrowing from David, Amelia, because I think he was the king of.
Speaker A:Of gratitude.
Speaker A:He was the king of.
Speaker A:Of knowing how to live an existence where despite the fact, he probably suffered.
Speaker A:I mean, according to Shokha, type in parak test in Sadiq base on Tehillim, he suffered more than eiv.
Speaker A:He suffered more than any human being in world history.
Speaker A:It sounds like.
Speaker A:I think it must have been even more than Trump.
Speaker A:He suffered so much aggravation from people and family and society.
Speaker A:It was.
Speaker A:It was beyond beyond.
Speaker A:But he was focused on this.
Speaker A:This is not denial of this.
Speaker A:We're living in a world that will say, if you, if you don't, if you don't pay attention to this, you're in denial.
Speaker A:And what we're saying is, okay, if you want to go with that logic, then you also have to be consistent with your logic, because then you mustn't deny this either.
Speaker A:And if you don't deny this, guess what's going to happen if you attend to this.
Speaker A:Well, guess what's going to happen to the Mara Shkara.
Speaker A:You'll be able to handle it because your mind is so absorbed by the good that nothing will be able to kidnap that Yadir, that realization, that absorption in Simcha.
Speaker A:Nothing can steal our simcha unless we let it.
Speaker A:And that's why Rav Nachman talks about what are the sabotages of my simcha.
Speaker A:One of them is Pige and Mikre Hasmon.
Speaker A:And we looked at those words, it's on a constant basis.
Speaker A:I am interfacing with people and situations, traffic, a deal that just looks like it's starting to possibly go sour.
Speaker A:I'm so invested.
Speaker A:I've got to make this work and so many things will start kidnapping my mind from, from this.
Speaker A:How do you stay there?
Speaker A:How do you stay there and not get stuck on this?
Speaker A:Because this is going to happen all day long, as long as I'm alive until 120.
Speaker A:This is reality because this is so we're going to look bezel hashem how David Hamelech handled this because I think those, those are the clues and it fits in perfectly with how Rabbein Nachman is talking about how Simcha is the cure all.
Speaker A:It's not just a lakhatkila.
Speaker A:It's not just a khumra.
Speaker A:It's not Midas hasidus.
Speaker A:It's reality.
Speaker A:So we're going to look at that carefully.
Speaker A:Any questions or comments on this so far?
Speaker A:So what do I mean don't get stuck on symptoms.
Speaker A:Don't get stuck on the marashkara because they're only symptoms.
Speaker A:They're only symptoms of other things.
Speaker A:But the real place to get stuck is in the simcha.
Speaker A:That's where, that's where we need to get stuck.
Speaker A:Simcha is a thought Bes.
Speaker A:Simcha is in makshava Mahshava be' Simcha is the same Ochius Simcha alone is as the BAAL Shemchaddish tells us is sham moyach.
Speaker A:So Simcha is really a mind is a mindset.
Speaker A:That's really what it is.
Speaker A:And I really have to get, I really have to buy into that because living in America, I'm saying it's just a western value where the pursuit of happiness is such a brilliant, brilliant statement because if you think about it, I'm never going to be happy because I'm always in pursuit of it.
Speaker A:And when I discover that this doesn't make me happy, I've got to run off to something else that other people telling me makes them happy.
Speaker A:So what happens if there is no happiness outside of us?
Speaker A:There is no happiness.
Speaker A:It only starts here.
Speaker A:And if it starts here, then asamech bechal koi means the more halig I'm counting, the more happiness I'm adding to my simcha bank, so to speak more deposits.
Speaker A:So comes along Rav Nachman is my simple understanding is that Mara Shchera is non reality.
Speaker A:So that's why we've got to push it away with all our kaichas and in the previous Torah, we've actually got to run after it.
Speaker A:But you've got to be strong enough not to be afraid of it, to run after it and just say, hey, I can take this on.
Speaker A:You know why?
Speaker A:Because it doesn't matter how big this looks, it will never, ever be ever able to take over my picture.
Speaker A:This could be.
Speaker A:This could be multiplied a billion times.
Speaker A:It still can't take over this.
Speaker A:Because this is unlimited.
Speaker A:Because if I get stuck on his chesed, it's unlimited.
Speaker A:So the piece I want to look at here in understanding the mind, body, relationship, it's where is my mind supposed to be?
Speaker A:So it happens to be Tarek mitzvahs.
Speaker A:I don't know if this is a Chiddish or not, but in Kuf yuts, we know Kuf yuts.
Speaker A:In Tehil is the longest Kapital.
Speaker A:It's 176 verses of 176 verses.
Speaker A:Every single one, except for three.
Speaker A:Every single one refers to Tariq mitzvahs.
Speaker A:Every single one.
Speaker A:And if you ask yourself, what's he talking about when it says mitzvahs, Chukim, Eidos, mishpatim, and you start realizing, hey, these are all the different categories that we know Tariq mitzvahs come under.
Speaker A:But when you start looking at it closely and reading Parshim, it becomes so glaringly obvious that his mind was so fixated by Tariq mitzvahs.
Speaker A:They didn't have Svarim in those days.
Speaker A:There's no mishnayes, no Gemara has been written yet.
Speaker A:You knew everything.
Speaker A:Koltara, Shabal Peh and Niglo.
Speaker A:Nistah was contained in the ariser of Tershi Biktav.
Speaker A:Teresha Biktav has two parts to it.
Speaker A:There's a storyline Birsa Olam till Moshe Peinu enters Eretz, and then Nach is another thousand years.
Speaker A:But in the storyline of Birsa Olam, 10 generations from Adam tul Noach the marble, 10 generations from Noach till Avraham.
Speaker A:The life of Avraham Yitzchak and Yaakov Yosef sold goes down to Mitzrayim.
Speaker A:We're reunited.
Speaker A:Then 10 makais, Makis, 10.
Speaker A:Then you've got Yitziyat Mitzrayim and Matan Torah coming soon in a shul near you.
Speaker A:And then you got 40 years in the midbar end of 2,488 years of Briyasa olam.
Speaker A:Then another thousand or so for the Zman of the Takufa of The neviim, and that's the end of Tanakh.
Speaker A:Contained in the storyline are Tariq Mitzvahs.
Speaker A: g mitzvahs are in the Chumash: Speaker A:However, we mentioned this, but in Mala Satera, which is from the Vilnagon's brother who quotes his brother, that Tariq Mitzvahs is a 613.
Speaker A:That's a number of the root directories.
Speaker A:There's 613 routes of all tag mitzvahs.
Speaker A:But actually the number of tag mitzvahs is unlimited.
Speaker A:There's no end to how many you can find.
Speaker A:So I thought this is very interesting because going through Kufiyud tests, which we're going through, I'm just going to give you like a sampling.
Speaker A:Not today.
Speaker A:You can open up any pasuk except for three.
Speaker A:I'm working on finding the tayoga in those three.
Speaker A:But you look at any pasuk, you realize what he's celebrating is Tariq Mitzvahs.
Speaker A:Even.
Speaker A:Even when he's talking about pain.
Speaker A:And there's quite a few pasokimafshi mitukim.
Speaker A:One of my favorite is from Dalef, means dripping.
Speaker A:My soul's dripping.
Speaker A:Now, if something is dripping, that means it's saturated, it's can't.
Speaker A:It's not contained, it's overflowing, it's dripping from it.
Speaker A:My soul is dripping mituga from agony.
Speaker A:That's the Ya' g is agony from pain.
Speaker A:Utvarecha kaimeneini.
Speaker A:But I didn't stop keeping your words, the words of your Torah.
Speaker A:Every single, every single parser, except those, except for three, is talking about Tariq Mitzvahs.
Speaker A:He was obsessed with, in a good way, about tag mitvah.
Speaker A:He was so stuck on the good that he couldn't stop counting all the good that Hashem was doing.
Speaker A:There was another mitzvah to cleave to.
Speaker A:So what's interesting, and this is what we're going to touch on now, is when you look at the mitzvahs of the mind, there are six which we know are Tadir, constant, Emun and Hashem.
Speaker A:No other power exists except Hashem.
Speaker A:Shem is echad.
Speaker A:Everything is one.
Speaker A:It's all one perfect unit working together.
Speaker A:Avas hashem, Yiras Hashem, and then loy, tatu, rahrei, levavchem.
Speaker A:That's the six that's listed by Sefer Chinook.
Speaker A:And it's quoted in First Beer Lakha in Mishnah Brewer.
Speaker A:Everyone quotes those six.
Speaker A:It happens to be Sefer Haredim counts 10 and Rambam has 20.
Speaker A:And I thought that's interesting because one of my.
Speaker A:I don't know what to call it.
Speaker A:I don't call it a hobby Havdil.
Speaker A:But one of my.
Speaker A:One of my obsessions is Tariq mitzvahs.
Speaker A:And what I thought is very interesting.
Speaker A:You go through all the rishonim that are mitzvahs because they.
Speaker A:They don't all agree with the same 6, 13.
Speaker A:But when you go through them all and ask how many mitzvahs of the mind are there?
Speaker A:Now, Hinnuch defines six constant ones.
Speaker A:There are about 60 constant ones when you take all the money mitzvahs.
Speaker A:And if you count all the mitzvahs of the mind, it's over 100 so far I found 107.
Speaker A:If that's really the case, then when we look at what Rav Nachman is telling us, Mitzvah Elias B' Simcha.
Speaker A:So where's that taking place?
Speaker A:So if I'm going to be b' simcha and not let the marash chora, no matter what it is that is going on in my life, to steal my attention, and if it gets my attention, it will be momentary.
Speaker A:I may have to empathize with someone who's going through pain, but it's not going to take away from the simcha, which is the matziyas.
Speaker A:That's the reality.
Speaker A:So we're going to talk about how do you do that?
Speaker A:The first place I need to be is realizing my function in everything is taking place only in one place.
Speaker A:It's in my thoughts.
Speaker A:And that once I know that, then I can become more aware, hopefully that sinner Natira complaining.
Speaker A:These are thoughts and they are love in me, in the Torah.
Speaker A:And there's even mitzvahs to remember all the complaints we had in the midbar, that's one of tariyag.
Speaker A:And it's a mitzvah not to be megadif, not hazram curse Hashem.
Speaker A:And if you look at the smaller detail, we realize every complaint is a form of not has vashom cursing, but it's a form of going in that direction.
Speaker A:Because what is a curse of Hakadosh Baruch hu' e not running the world the way I want it.
Speaker A:I'm so angry.
Speaker A:Has Vashem a person actually would be Michalel, but.
Speaker A:But going in the wrong direction is actually complaining.
Speaker A:That's what Ravnachman we quoted it in Membais in Sichas Iran that every complaint is actually against Hashem.
Speaker A:Because I'm really saying I don't like the way you're running my world right now.
Speaker A:Please give me the steering wheel.
Speaker A:Let me show you which direction it's supposed to go in the marriage, with a kid, etc.
Speaker A:No, Amuna is 100%.
Speaker A:There's no room for not emunah.
Speaker A:So if it's emunah, then, Hashem, you're running the world.
Speaker A:So I'm going to just touch on a few of these mitzvahs.
Speaker A:If you're interested, I'll either email you or I'll bring you copies next week.
Speaker A:Right now it's just 20 pages.
Speaker A:There's only 107 there.
Speaker A:But I've given you all the makaras, most of the pages.
Speaker A:The makaras for where we know this is one of Tariq.
Speaker A:And how do you explain it?
Speaker A:Because these are all taking place over here.
Speaker A:But once I become more and more aware that happiness is a mind is what I'm thinking, unhappiness is what I'm thinking, the more I'm aware that sinner Natira bearing a grudge, remembering other people's mistakes, complaining, and I start to play, pay more attention to the words that come out my mouth on a daily basis of what I typically complain about or the past that I complain about.
Speaker A:There's lots of chazals that tell me, just don't go there.
Speaker A:Ma da ava ava, it happened, move on.
Speaker A:I think the best example I can think of is the first time Hakadosh Baruch Hu talked to Kyin, which we mentioned.
Speaker A:Kyin couldn't get over his kinna.
Speaker A:He was so angry that Hashem rejected him and accepted the karban from Hevel, that even with Hashem revealing himself per le penim upon him and saying vayima hashem elkayim, that's astonishing.
Speaker A:He's in depression and Hashem still came to him because he doesn't want this.
Speaker A:This is not a description of what took place 5,000 years ago.
Speaker A:5,700.
Speaker A:This is a description for all future generations of how I'm supposed to deal with my own atzvas and marashkara.
Speaker A:Because Hashem says la malach haralach.
Speaker A:Why are you angry?
Speaker A:I've got tons of things that trigger my anger.
Speaker A:Lama naflu fanecha.
Speaker A:There's so many times my face just drops.
Speaker A:It's an expression.
Speaker A:I'm paying attention to the marashkara in my life.
Speaker A:And that brings Hashem to Atsmos.
Speaker A:And Hashem tells him, im seis im tatev seis.
Speaker A:If you want to improve yourself, you'll elevate yourself.
Speaker A:Look at Ramban there it says, elevate yourself beyond your brother.
Speaker A:You'll go higher than where he is right now.
Speaker A:I accepted his commandment.
Speaker A:But you can turn all around.
Speaker A:You can turn it all around.
Speaker A:You're the firstborn.
Speaker A:You've got special koikas that a firstborn is invested with, that when you do a mitzvah and do teshuvah for nabeira, you're providing leadership for the future.
Speaker A:Because that's what essentially is the purpose of a firstborn.
Speaker A:Look at Ram Shamshul Fel hirsh.
Speaker A:I remember the posseq, but it's in Paraguid base where it's talking about Marcus Bechoris.
Speaker A:Why Marcus Bechoris?
Speaker A:Rab Shamshel Foshal explains that in the ancient world, Bechor was the future leader and he was held in very special esteem.
Speaker A:And when that.
Speaker A:When a bechar would has v shalom die before their time, so to speak, that is a tremendous loss to the family because it was known that the bechar is invested with leadership qualities, caring for all those beneath that person.
Speaker A:So in that sense, Machis Bucharis was the destruction of the future of Egypt.
Speaker A:That's why it was the makapatush.
Speaker A:There was.
Speaker A:There was total yush in the Egyptian empire.
Speaker A:Whoever survived, there was not.
Speaker A:There was no future, zero.
Speaker A:So here's our first Bechar kayn.
Speaker A:He had an amazing opportunity to listen to Hashem.
Speaker A:Wow.
Speaker A:Rabbeinu shlem.
Speaker A:If you say that imtative says I can improve and pick myself up.
Speaker A:And not just says I will elevate myself beyond even my brother who brought the best of his fleece to as a carbon.
Speaker A:This is an amazing statement, because what Hashem is basically saying, whenever I'm down on myself, I should know Atah tim shal boy, you can overcome this Yetzer hara, which ravanachman tells us Torah 49, we've quoted a few times.
Speaker A:The yetzahara is machshavas.
Speaker A:Ra' is the yetzer tovas.
Speaker A:Mach shavas tovas.
Speaker A:It's so important to get stuck on this because that's the real meaning of Lev.
Speaker A:That's why it's so empowering that it's not anything that's taking place outside of me that's bringing the marashkara.
Speaker A:It's what I'm thinking about it that's making me fall into Marashkara.
Speaker A:And once I know it's me who's generating it, I'M inducing my own agony, my own dagger, worry, fear.
Speaker A:Then who's in charge now?
Speaker A:So Lepet Hatat Royvet, the Yetzer Hara is waiting to pounce on me at the first opening, the Ata Tim Shalboy.
Speaker A:But you can be ruler over him.
Speaker A:And that's what Hakash Baruch is telling us.
Speaker A:And Rav Nachman, I believe, is empowering us that Simcha is the cure all and it's the way to deal with this over here.
Speaker A:I think every mental practitioner who would know Rav Nachman's teachings would be able to cure every person who's coming in thinking they got mental problems or anguish and anxiety and help them realize, let's focus on the Taif and the Sa and Sumira will take care of itself.
Speaker A:So I'm going to touch on very quickly.
Speaker A:These are thoughts that are part of Tariq mitzvahs.
Speaker A:I'm going to go very, very fast.
Speaker A:Emunah is one of Tariq mitzvahs.
Speaker A:So nothing can go wrong because Baruch Hu is in control.
Speaker A:He can do anything.
Speaker A:The posse for that mitzvah is anoichi Hashem elokeha.
Speaker A:And it's all singular.
Speaker A:I'm your power of all powers.
Speaker A:Yours, personally yours.
Speaker A:It's not you, Hem, it's you.
Speaker A:And if I could take you out of mitzrayim, the physical mitzrayim, and you've got a special mitzvah to remember.
Speaker A:You were there as slaves in mitzrayim.
Speaker A:But I can take you out of any mitzrayim.
Speaker A:I can take you out of any limitations because I'm all powerful.
Speaker A:You can turn to me for everything and anything.
Speaker A:No, there's no other powers beside you.
Speaker A:There are no other powers.
Speaker A:They're self induced.
Speaker A:That's why avodazara and anger are considered synonymous.
Speaker A:Because when I get angry, that means I am giving power to the item that is angering me.
Speaker A:So you have power.
Speaker A:You make me so mad.
Speaker A:Excuse me?
Speaker A:You make me mad.
Speaker A:How do you get.
Speaker A:How do you get inside my brain and touch my mad button?
Speaker A:How do you get inside my brain and touch my anger button?
Speaker A:The very words.
Speaker A:I should be ashamed to say the words because now I make you the power that controls me.
Speaker A:And Hashem says, do you remember my second posseq in the decalogue in Asia Yoshi Bris?
Speaker A:I said, there are no other powers.
Speaker A:Have no other powers.
Speaker A:And if you take the posse seriously, al panai in front of my faces, one of my faces, Rabbi Nachman says in Samach Gimel is My hashgrahtis every cloud, every raindrop, every.
Speaker A:Every blow of wind, every sunshine, everything that I don't control, which is everything except my bakira is Hashkacha and Hashem's hide.
Speaker A:He's got lots of faces.
Speaker A:He's hiding behind all of that.
Speaker A:It's only Hashem's faces.
Speaker A:Peel away the face.
Speaker A:Hashem's hiding behind that.
Speaker A:Hashem's invisible Hashkacha pratis takes place all the time.
Speaker A:Love Hashem.
Speaker A:Hashem is one.
Speaker A:These are all thoughts.
Speaker A:They're all taking place over here.
Speaker A:Think about the following.
Speaker A:When a person's b' simcha, are they Mikaim automatically in the mitzvah of Emunah?
Speaker A:Because if he's everything, that happens.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:So then that feeds his.
Speaker A:He believes.
Speaker A:So he's getting the mitzvah of Emunah and it's getting Simcha as well.
Speaker A:According to Arkad Tzadikim, Simcha is a multiplier.
Speaker A:So a huge multiplier.
Speaker A:It multiplies any mitzvah you're doing with the simcha by a thousand times.
Speaker A:If you're b' simcha, Are you showing you love Hashem?
Speaker A:Are you Mikayim mitzvah avas Hashem, yes or no?
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:Are you Mikaim of Hashem is echad.
Speaker A:You see, the point is really the following.
Speaker A:Hashem didn't create Tariq mitzvahs in such a way that when you're doing one mitzvah, you can't be doing another.
Speaker A:That is true that if I'm in the Sukkah right now, so I can't be in the mikveh, so I'm not getting the mitzvah mikveh.
Speaker A:I'm in the Sukkah if I'm in the Sukkah right now.
Speaker A:So I'm not in the best medravish learning.
Speaker A:I'm shukling lulav.
Speaker A:But that's all in the physical mitzvahs.
Speaker A:But in the mitzvahs of the mind, of which there are over 100 in that each one can be a huge multiplier of another.
Speaker A:How do you have.
Speaker B:I mean, the rabbi always says you can't have too much Shabbos.
Speaker A:You can't actively think about these mitzvahs.
Speaker A:No, you don't.
Speaker A:That's the whole chup, the whole chap.
Speaker B:Is just 100 mitzvahs going on at once.
Speaker A:That's why these can be six Tamidi mitzvahs.
Speaker A:Or as we.
Speaker A:By the way, this is not me coming up with that's not just six.
Speaker A:I used to be consultant for an organization called Tariyag Foundation.
Speaker A:Rabbi David Wax in Lakewood, Bezra Hashem is going to be renewed soon, but he went to many gedalims and we're talking about many years ago, Rav Chaim Kanievsky with the same question.
Speaker A:Why does the Seva Chinook only identify Sikhs?
Speaker A:There's way more than that that apply every second of your life.
Speaker A:He asked Rav Shmuel, Arbach, Shlomo Zaman, Arbach Atsal.
Speaker A:He asked Ravnah Weinberg, trying to remember all the names.
Speaker A:I wrote it in my document and all of them said they have the same kasha.
Speaker A:They couldn't find an answer.
Speaker A:Why does Sefer Chinuch only identify six women by the count of all the Moyni Hamitzvahs?
Speaker A:There's way more.
Speaker A:So but to answer your question, I can't have two thoughts at once.
Speaker A:But Hashem loves us so much that he's going to take one thought and multiply it in terms of scarlet that a person in their mind, when they have a muna and they're doing it with Simcha, that's a thousand times the mitzvah of a muna.
Speaker A:And if it's not easy, that's a hundred times a regular mitzvah.
Speaker A:Because mitzvah achas betzah, Mimma shulay betza, that's avasrubnasin.
Speaker A:I think it's perik vav eiskiml.
Speaker A:So you've got all these multipliers.
Speaker A:According to Malas Hatorah from the vilnagon's brother, he claims that every single time he is quoting his brother, the vilnagon, every single time a mitzvah is repeated in the Torah, that's how many times you get that mitzvah.
Speaker A:When you do that one mitzvah, the mitzvah of, for example, he brings, for example, Talmudara is repeated 34 times.
Speaker A:So every word of Torah counts 34 times.
Speaker A:Then he says, but you've got to also count all the times you get the mitzvah in Nach.
Speaker A:So if you take the mitzvah of Avas Hashem and Yiras Hashem, which is what you're Mikaim when you're B' Simcha and you act us because you're saying, look, it's really Hashem, it's not.
Speaker A:There's nothing else.
Speaker A:So you're getting all these multiplies simultaneously.
Speaker A:What I'm trying to bring up is a case that this is so glaringly obvious the white is so overpoweringly, overwhelmingly glaring and obvious that when, when it comes to the marashkara, it's so much easier to deal with because has to mean this can't exist and this can't grow.
Speaker A:The weeds can't grow and take over my garden because this is my focus.
Speaker A:This is where I live.
Speaker A:But if I live over here or spend time, let's say once a week for an hour, I spend time and money going over here.
Speaker A:Well, guess what?
Speaker A:I can water the weeds and more water the weeds.
Speaker A:Actually, I turn this into such a reality, I dike over it, I worry about it and I start doing all sorts of to undo it.
Speaker A:We've got almost 40%.
Speaker A:Please be mermi.
Speaker A:Almost 40% of our kids in schools, yeshivas today are on medications and in therapy.
Speaker A:And it's all because we're paying attention to this.
Speaker A:Give our children the strategies for how to be happy and not get stuck.
Speaker A:It was very good.
Speaker A:It is very good.
Speaker A:It's going to be even better.
Speaker A:Get stuck in reality.
Speaker A:That's what.
Speaker A:That's what we should be training all our mental practitioners to help parents and children deal with God's reality.
Speaker A:That's this over here.
Speaker A:And this will take care of itself.
Speaker A:Hostages coming out of out of Gaza.
Speaker A:They come out almost all the same with the same lines.
Speaker A:There was only Hashemun and Hashem kept me alive.
Speaker A:They didn't go in from.
Speaker A:I'm not saying they came out, but in their mindset they had a total change of mindset.
Speaker A:And many did become from afterwards.
Speaker A:But the point is that this is the only place we operate.
Speaker A:And sometimes it takes my body being taken hostage to pay attention to what's going over here because that's all I've got.
Speaker A:This has happened many times to quadriplegics.
Speaker A:This is where they realize I got to make peace with me.
Speaker A:I think I shared with you the what's his name?
Speaker A:Superman.
Speaker A:So love of Hashem, Yiras Hashem lotaturu achrei levavchem.
Speaker A:Oh, this is huge.
Speaker A:When you're b' Simcha, you're Mikayim, the mitzvah tadir of tamiti of not going after your thoughts.
Speaker A:Because Hashem was telling me, pay attention to the beauty of my world.
Speaker A:Look, be happy that you're a Jew.
Speaker A:That's huge.
Speaker A:Huge, huge.
Speaker A:What I'm also trying to do with this is feed into where Rav Nachman talks about.
Speaker A:Even if you can find pergamim brings us in reshp.
Speaker A:If I can find pergamim and every Nukud.
Speaker A:Everything that's good about what I've ever done, still find some nukuda tova.
Speaker A:But there's one thing you can't find any pagum in.
Speaker A:Because it was Hashem's choice.
Speaker A:He made me a Jew.
Speaker A:He didn't make me a gentile.
Speaker A:That's two sides of the same coin.
Speaker A:But what's so huge about that?
Speaker A:Okay, so physically I'm not.
Speaker A:I'm not a goy.
Speaker A:No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker A:When a Jew thinks these mitzvahs, he doesn't get all these multipliers.
Speaker A:When a Jew comes first 10 in Chakras, he doesn't get all these multipliers.
Speaker A:He doesn't get Ulam Haba is completely different.
Speaker A:We're the only religion that happens to be true, by the way.
Speaker A:All the rest are fake.
Speaker A:Some are made in China, some made in India, but they're all fake, all man made.
Speaker A:But we happen to be also the only religion on record that actually claims you don't have to be Jewish to get Ulam Haba.
Speaker A:That's incredible.
Speaker A:That's how confident we are.
Speaker A:A goy keeps seven mitzvahs.
Speaker A:He can get Ulam Haba.
Speaker A:He doesn't have to do 613.
Speaker A:We discourage him, in fact.
Speaker A:So when you think about shaloh, asani goy, it's all the privileges that comes with atem, banim, lashem elokehem.
Speaker A:So remember Hashem, that's actually one of tayg mitzvahs.
Speaker A:Uzhart hashem el ker.
Speaker A:And it's counted by.
Speaker A:I've got all the makodos.
Speaker A:It's not in Rambam's count, but it's in haredim and rabbeinu yana.
Speaker A:Don't forget Hashem.
Speaker A:That's one of Tariq mitzvahs.
Speaker A:In fact, the smug had.
Speaker A:He wrote his own list of Tariq mitzvahs.
Speaker A:He had a dream where a malakh came and told him, you've forgotten the main mitzvah.
Speaker A:Don't forget hashem.
Speaker A:And then when the smug wrote that mitzvah, he said that I got this, I got a giloy, and the posseq that goes with it.
Speaker A:The posseq is in Devarim.
Speaker A:612, almost 613.
Speaker A:Don't forget Hashem.
Speaker A:And he mentions that Rambam didn't include this, but he had a giloy, that this is one of tariyak.
Speaker A:Don't forget Hashem when you're b' simcha and you're b' simcha, because you know, Hashem is in control, you get this mitzvah.
Speaker A:So it's true you can't have two thoughts simultaneously.
Speaker A:But Hashem loves us so much that he won't give you only skafa, the mitzvah of simcha.
Speaker A:Now, every other mitzvah that you're getting because of it is accumulative in the count that what Hashem is counting.
Speaker A:And in malas ha Torah it talks about this and yiros hashem, Yiros hashem, it counts how many times.
Speaker A:It's 52 times it's mentioned in the Torah.
Speaker A:Every time you avoid doing a mitzvah or you avoid a marash chora of mhihru aveira, you get the mitzvah of yiros hashem times 54.
Speaker A:So you get 54 mitzvahs.
Speaker A:Every second that you're.
Speaker A:It's just constant.
Speaker A:It's just constant.
Speaker A:Wearing tzitzit, you get every reggae you're wearing tzitzit, you get a mitzvah dera isa.
Speaker A:So you count up how many seconds in a year.
Speaker A:It's about 15 million.
Speaker A:So you get 15 million mitzvahs for wearing tzitzis every day.
Speaker A:And the smuck, by the way, he counts wearing tzitzit as a mitzvah to me.
Speaker A:So barely.
Speaker A:And we paskin like Bavli the Uruisam oiso.
Speaker A:When you look at your tzitzis, that's only in daytime.
Speaker A:However, it's actually a machloikis in Perek Gimel in Yerushalmi.
Speaker A:I saw it very recently.
Speaker A:That's why I remember it where the Hamim say it's a mitzvah to me, because it's going on.
Speaker A:Seeing Hakash Barku because you kept the mitzvah sisis, it's not going on that it's a daytime.
Speaker A:And the fact that you've got to make al khanfay bigday him on the four corners, it's the four corner garment.
Speaker A:There's machiaviu in the midst of tzitzis, which is not Tali on time, it's not Tali on Islam.
Speaker A:So because they have a different nimit for that.
Speaker A:So as long as you've got a four corner garment, now you have the khiv of the mitzvah of tzitz, it's by day and night.
Speaker A:So he counts it as a mitzvah to Mdi and he adds on, it's not only a mitzvah to where tzitzit, but every time you look at it, you Get a mitzvah to Midi every single.
Speaker A:So the amount of.
Speaker A:So how's the posit go?
Speaker A:We say at the end, before every.
Speaker A:What do you call it?
Speaker A:The Kaddish Durban say Leman sidkai.
Speaker A:How's the startup?
Speaker A:How's it Ratz hakadosh Baruch hu lizakais es yisroel.
Speaker A:So here bellehem Torah mitzvah.
Speaker A:It's not the Tariq only, it's the multipliers within every single mitzvah that's extraordinary.
Speaker A:Extraordinary chesed, extraordinary love.
Speaker A:And that's really.
Speaker A:That's really.
Speaker A:As we start to pay attention to this, it becomes, I think, more obvious why, knowing what the Tariq mitzvahs are that apply to the mind, that this is something we can actually live inside.
Speaker A:Mitzvah gedoylah lihiyais b Simcha, it's a huge mitzvah to exist inside happiness.
Speaker A:That means get immersed.
Speaker A:Immersed in all the mitzvahs of the mind.
Speaker A:Because there's so many.
Speaker A:There's no moment in time and space which is devoid of being able to be davit to a kadosh.
Speaker A:Baruch Vekas is also one of tariyak and it's included in this list.
Speaker A:Do you follow?
Speaker A:I'm trying to build a case of logic where Rav Nachman is helping us understand that the mind is everything and the mind is where Simcha exists.
Speaker A:And it's the mind that will cure disease and avoid disease.
Speaker A:And it's the maroschoya that steals my ability to go there.
Speaker A:And then when he talks about the end of this short Torah, about the importance of Lev Nish bar.
Speaker A:But that's only at a time that's for regret and charatah, for the things I've done and still do.
Speaker A:And I'm asking Hashem to help me get out of that.
Speaker A:But otherwise, all the rest of the time is b' Simcha.
Speaker A:So it doesn't mean 23 hours, Simcha, one hour.
Speaker A:But ATSMOS.
Speaker A:Atsmos is not included in the hispaydus.
Speaker A:If I see that after I had the hispoetis that I'm down, that's a good Simon, that the hispos is going in the wrong direction.
Speaker A:And that really the mareschara is kind of the yetzhara taking over me, that he brings in Sicha, Simrad and memhe to watch out.
Speaker A:That the Simon for knowing that the hispos is working is if a person comes out b Simcha afterwards, he feels a certain relief that he was able to talk to Hashem and let off whatever's on his chest in that session.
Speaker A:So please be makhmi for ending here.
Speaker A:Any questions or comments?
Speaker B:Also think again about the Mach Shabbos with all those mitzvahs.
Speaker A:Yes.
Speaker B:Is it necessary to actively think them all at once or just by doing one that already includes all the others?
Speaker A:It one includes all the others.
Speaker A:But what I'll share with you where we see there is a Kiyu to know Tariq mitzvahs.
Speaker A:It's a kind of an obvious the Shah on Shulchan or he wrote a seva called Po Tzedek and he said he believes that the reason why tarot seems to is going down and down and down in each generation is because we don't pay attention to knowing all Tarek mitzvahs.
Speaker A:He said it's a Daba parshat.
Speaker A:He even brings a gematria.
Speaker A:I don't have it here.
Speaker A:Of Moshe Rabbeinu is actually the gematria Tarek mitzvahs.
Speaker A:But he the point is that by knowing the mitzvahs of the mind, the awareness is what starts to make a person realize how much you love me.
Speaker A:You really love me.
Speaker A:Oh my gosh.
Speaker A:I get tvekus, I get ava, I get yiras hashem.
Speaker A:I'm avoiding Lu taturu means I'm avoiding sina, natira, nikama, kinna, loytachmot.
Speaker A:Every loytas that has to do with the mind Haredim counts 81 mitzvahs, of which 50, 54 of them I think are Leuta says of the mind.
Speaker A:I'm getting all those loytas says I'm avoiding them.
Speaker A:Just in the one hero of Teshuva.
Speaker A:That's huge.
Speaker A:And the amount of times it's mentioned in the Torah is another multiplier.
Speaker A:But if you're doing teva Simcha, you're multiplying it by every avera now goes to the other side of the scale.
Speaker A:It's just.
Speaker A:It just.
Speaker A:It's literally endless.
Speaker A:But the awareness of that is what helps a person stay inside Simcha.
Speaker A:That's what I'm saying.
Speaker A:It doesn't mean olam hazard is not going to happen to you.
Speaker A:It's going to carry on 24 7, 365.
Speaker A:But this is where Rabbein Sa' Zal Rav Nachman wants us to be.
Speaker A:Is this making sense?
Speaker A:I don't want you to.
Speaker A:I don't want you to think that I'm making this up.
Speaker A:I want to be able to show you where I think it's in the words.
Speaker C:So that's also mitzvah, Gadaya.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker C:The question was.
Speaker C:I think you mentioned it.
Speaker C:What do you mean, mitzvah?
Speaker C:A big mitzvah.
Speaker A:Small.
Speaker C:All mitzvahs are the same.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker C:But here it's in every mitzvah of Simichel.
Speaker C:I'm including so many different mitzvahs.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker C:That's what makes it.
Speaker A:That's what mitzvah.
Speaker A:Thank you for your patience.
Speaker A:I'm sorry I'm ending a little bit early.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker B:Thank you.
