Résumé

TLDRThis talk delves into the interplay between spiritual reward and punishment and human conceptions of reality. It outlines how mitzvah connects individuals to God mysteriously on a soul level, illustrating this with the story of a broken doll. The discussion highlights the paradoxical view that while physical sensations are considered real, in spiritual terms, they are reflections of divine essence. God's attributes are viewed as opposite to human perceptions; humans see God through anthropomorphic lenses, while the actual divine qualities transcend physical boundaries. The speaker posits a shift in focus—prioritizing divine purpose over self-interest, stressing the unfolding reality of Messiah as an inevitable truth. Ultimately, the speaker challenges listeners to refine their understanding of reality, emphasizing the unseen and metaphysical over the tangible.

    The discussion begins with the consequences of viewing everything as a system of reward and punishment, suggesting that this mindset detracts from genuine connections and relationships. The idea of how a mitzvah connects one to God is discussed, emphasizing that this connection is mysterious and not easily understood. It illustrates this by sharing an anecdote involving a child's broken doll, leading to a broader reflection on the nature of what is 'real' or 'authentic'. The speaker explains that terms we attribute to God, such as 'arm', are in fact true forms, with human forms being mere reflections or images. Thus the human experience should not be regarded as the ultimate reality but rather understood in relation to divine attributes.

    what is the the consequence of that is
  • 00:00:01
    that everything is going to become then
  • 00:00:03
    a reward and Punishment because it's not
  • 00:00:06
    about the the connection or the
  • 00:00:09
    disconnect it's not about the
  • 00:00:11
    relationship right it's going to be
  • 00:00:14
    about what I have
  • 00:00:15
    from the abish what I have from him is
  • 00:00:20
    going to be the the the natural
  • 00:00:21
    consequence of such a a thought
  • 00:00:25
    process or a more refined Philosophy by
  • 00:00:29
    some people
  • 00:00:30
    no the Mitzvah does connect you to
  • 00:00:34
    God how it's a
  • 00:00:37
    mystery we don't
  • 00:00:41
    know it happens on some soul level which
  • 00:00:44
    we can't understand but yes it does it
  • 00:00:48
    brings you closer to
  • 00:00:51
    God how how is that
  • 00:00:54
    possible
  • 00:00:58
    don't okay and
  • 00:01:09
    so my
  • 00:01:11
    granddaughter was upset and crying
  • 00:01:14
    because her doll
  • 00:01:17
    broke the arm came
  • 00:01:20
    off so I sit down with her and I say I I
  • 00:01:24
    can't believe how much that must have
  • 00:01:27
    hurt can you imagine how much that hurt
  • 00:01:30
    hurt and she starts to laugh she says it
  • 00:01:33
    didn't hurt I said how could it not hurt
  • 00:01:37
    the arm came
  • 00:01:40
    off she says it's not a real
  • 00:01:43
    arm this is a
  • 00:01:46
    six-year-old say it's not it's not a
  • 00:01:48
    real arm she says no it's
  • 00:01:53
    plastic aha you're
  • 00:01:57
    right a real arm is not a
  • 00:02:00
    plastic
  • 00:02:04
    arm oh so what's a real
  • 00:02:07
    arm a real arm is a bone with skin
  • 00:02:11
    around
  • 00:02:13
    it what that's a real arm it's just a
  • 00:02:16
    bone with skin on
  • 00:02:19
    it what makes that a real
  • 00:02:23
    arm because it can move
  • 00:02:30
    so can a
  • 00:02:35
    bug here's the
  • 00:02:37
    point when the tus says God's arm we're
  • 00:02:41
    talking about an
  • 00:02:43
    arm a real arm a literal
  • 00:02:48
    arm an actual
  • 00:02:51
    arm you mean like
  • 00:02:54
    mine
  • 00:02:56
    no your arm is only an
  • 00:03:04
    image you have something like an arm CU
  • 00:03:08
    you're created in God's image but his
  • 00:03:12
    arm is the real one you're
  • 00:03:15
    the analogy right you're the
  • 00:03:18
    emotial
  • 00:03:21
    aimile
  • 00:03:24
    yes
  • 00:03:26
    so instead of saying
  • 00:03:30
    God's arm is attributing a human
  • 00:03:34
    condition to him that's the opposite
  • 00:03:38
    when you describe your
  • 00:03:41
    extremity as an arm you're using a Godly
  • 00:03:45
    term to describe
  • 00:03:48
    yourself it's not
  • 00:03:52
    anthropomorphic anthr means human beings
  • 00:03:54
    like
  • 00:03:56
    anthropology anthropomorphic means
  • 00:03:58
    you're attributing a human quality to
  • 00:04:02
    God no it's the opposite when I say my
  • 00:04:06
    arm hurts I'm being
  • 00:04:09
    theomorphic or
  • 00:04:12
    diamorph I'm attributing a Godly quality
  • 00:04:16
    to myself CU I'm created in His
  • 00:04:19
    image but the sages remind
  • 00:04:22
    us don't take your arm
  • 00:04:26
    literally your arm is not the literal
  • 00:04:29
    one
  • 00:04:31
    it's only an image it's only
  • 00:04:34
    a so people in the Yeshiva World are
  • 00:04:38
    very familiar with the
  • 00:04:43
    term when we say God got angry we
  • 00:04:48
    say as it were as it were as a manner of
  • 00:04:52
    speaking so to
  • 00:04:56
    speak God feels your pain
  • 00:05:01
    not really it's just a manner of
  • 00:05:06
    spe it's so why would the Torah do that
  • 00:05:11
    Torah is toras EMS you have to be
  • 00:05:14
    careful with every word and every letter
  • 00:05:16
    in Torah because everything is
  • 00:05:19
    Meaningful and real and true and then
  • 00:05:21
    every other
  • 00:05:26
    word this is terrible
  • 00:05:32
    so we got it a little
  • 00:05:34
    backwards it's not that we shouldn't
  • 00:05:37
    take it
  • 00:05:39
    literally all these Expressions it's
  • 00:05:42
    that we shouldn't take it
  • 00:05:45
    physically God's arm is not a physical
  • 00:05:48
    arm you know why because the physical is
  • 00:05:53
    not
  • 00:05:55
    real and his arm is real
  • 00:05:59
    and of course the proof is his arm can
  • 00:06:02
    split a seat what can your arm
  • 00:06:07
    do he doesn't really speak human beings
  • 00:06:11
    speak God said let there be light and
  • 00:06:15
    there was light now you try
  • 00:06:19
    it that's what ELO and you said to the
  • 00:06:22
    worshippers of B call out to your
  • 00:06:26
    God now louder
  • 00:06:32
    louder say it
  • 00:06:34
    again your speech is not
  • 00:06:37
    effective because it's only a copy of
  • 00:06:40
    the real
  • 00:06:42
    thing so the question really is it's the
  • 00:06:46
    Torah that says a human being has an arm
  • 00:06:50
    and uses the same word when it's
  • 00:06:53
    describing God's
  • 00:06:55
    arm so the question is not does God have
  • 00:06:58
    an arm the question is why is your arm
  • 00:07:02
    called arm when it's not
  • 00:07:06
    really so what's
  • 00:07:09
    kav we are we are the
  • 00:07:13
    kav which which then leads to a very
  • 00:07:17
    amazing um takeaway is that we don't
  • 00:07:22
    have to take ourselves so seriously but
  • 00:07:25
    God we have to take very seriously what
  • 00:07:28
    he needs from me
  • 00:07:30
    and what his purpose is that he created
  • 00:07:32
    me in this world I have to take very
  • 00:07:36
    seriously but me if my arm is like this
  • 00:07:39
    or I didn't exactly get what I wanted in
  • 00:07:42
    that in in this way in life and so on
  • 00:07:46
    that's it's not Mish it's not truly real
  • 00:07:51
    and we can uh we can manage we can
  • 00:07:57
    manage that's what that's what the had
  • 00:08:00
    that strength in in daishi right in the
  • 00:08:03
    SEC in the sixth generation because it
  • 00:08:05
    was so real to them right and then in
  • 00:08:08
    our
  • 00:08:09
    generation the added something to all of
  • 00:08:13
    this that mesiah is mish real it's not a
  • 00:08:18
    um a pipe dream it's not something that
  • 00:08:21
    is an eventuality that you know well has
  • 00:08:24
    to happen no no no no it's happening
  • 00:08:28
    it's a it's a reality it's it's a it's a
  • 00:08:32
    Truth uh that we can see unfolding right
  • 00:08:35
    before us um right so we have a bit of a
  • 00:08:40
    definition it's not that we need to have
  • 00:08:43
    more faith or more belief or more
  • 00:08:48
    Amun it's
  • 00:08:50
    that we have to we have to get it clear
  • 00:08:54
    in our minds what's real
  • 00:08:59
    we grow up believing that the physical
  • 00:09:02
    is real if I can see it if I can touch
  • 00:09:06
    it oh now it's
  • 00:09:09
    real and there are even people who say I
  • 00:09:12
    don't believe in God because I can't see
  • 00:09:15
    him nobody has ever seen God so there's
  • 00:09:19
    no there's no experience of God and
  • 00:09:22
    therefore I I don't believe in it for
  • 00:09:25
    anybody to say that in our
  • 00:09:28
    generation that is so backwards it's so
  • 00:09:32
    primitive even in science even in
  • 00:09:36
    science we know that what we see is not
  • 00:09:40
    the
  • 00:09:40
    truth what we don't see oh those are the
  • 00:09:44
    powerful things
