Chapter 31.08. The Healthy Way to Fight Disease

Welcome to My Life, Tanya applied with Rabbi Simeon Jacobson, a journey into the deepest

teachings of Torah and their application to our personal, emotional, and psychological

lives.

A good mojid. We continue our journey in the life-changing, Safaratanya. This program is made

possible by Rina Lightsellerlc and it's an honor and a loving memory or a small

Yasef, Litman, Plotkin, Oliva Shalom. Also, the Nishmas, loving memory of Rabbi Yasef,

Halavi, Weinberg, Oliva Shalom, Ramesha, Pintas, Akrian, Katz, Oliva Shalom, Akrian, Akrian,

Khan, Oliva Shalom. It's also an excuse to merit the Rabzevicheskal and Rishakats,

Akrian, Akrian and Rishakats, Laidich, Yaman, Bishan, and Tevis for many long healthy years.

Along with the challenges and dangers in Herod's Israel, it's also an excuse of all the

men, women, and children in the Holy Land that Hashem protect them more than ever, especially

in Pesach. When we have the Lill, Shemurim, God protects us, special protection in addition

to Hindilayyan and Vileus, and Shemus Israel, that the Garden of Israel does not sleep

or slumber, especially in edits as any Hashem of the Kachibah, Mirashis, Ashuna, Badakh

of Shana. So made this learning on Pesach, Akhalamade Pesach, being their schools and merit,

and especially the holy soldiers of the IDF, that are Moisa Nefra's 24-7 to protect innocent

men, women, and children. We should have the complete Nitsachin and going forward,

Medinis and Nigelu, Venis and Nasin, Ligual, straight into the Gola, Amit is Vashlem. I hope

everyone had a very meaningful first days of Pesach, all about Gola, and just like the Gola,

Gola's Midsign is a prelude to Gola. I see the Kymates as Midsign, Arin and the Flawis,

where we'll have the Shana of Babiru Shalai. So with that said, let's go to Tanya, and interestingly,

Ashokha Pratis would have it, this piece in Tanya that we're learning is leading into the end of

chapter 31, where we're up to, actually, about Yitzis Midsign is the, is the, is the, is later in the

Vedic, we're going to discuss Midsign, what that means in Avedis Ashokha, because we all have to

have Yitzis Midsign, Bakhol Yame, every day, Chai Vodam Lehmur, Bakhol Deveder, Chai Vodam Lehmur,

Kilo Hu Yotsum Midsign, and not just Bakhol Deveder, Bakhol Yame, Veya, as we see,

Seychelles Yitzis Midsign, Schaedis Yitzis Midsign is on a daily basis, but especially Pesach,

when it all comes together, that's the Shah, that's when the channel of this particular energy of

Zbancheda, Sainu, it takes place, and what is Keda, Sainu in our personal Aveda, is dealing with an

Evesh Abhamis, that's the Midsign, the Nevesh Abhamis that creates constricts and limits our ability

to embrace godliness in the fullest sense of the world, and that's what we're dealing with

how do you contend with that? While also not going overboard, where when you begin to so-called

reprimand and criticize, Nevesh Abhamis, you don't want to turn into Atsvus, that demoralizes

the person, and is the opposite of a motivation, and that's what Al-Tadeb is balancing the two,

by explaining, being that, as we discussed in chapter 29, the Nevesh Abhamis has created a

timp to my love, because it's like a piece of wood, an obstinate piece of wood that will not

allow the fire of the passion, of the love, of Avesashem, of the divine soul to catch, so you need

to splinter, you need to, you need to m'vachalay, you need to break down, and you need to splinter,

and you need to shatter that piece of wood, and that's the way the Bittel Shvalruh, by looking at

yourself and saying, look what's going on here, here I am a human being, a healthy human being,

but toxins, poison, illness, and disease has attached itself to me,

so how does a person deal with that without going into denial, because you have to deal with it,

because it's blocking the ability for the flow, when there's God forbid an impediment that stops

a person's circulation, lay a lane, or something else that does not allow the healthy forces in a

person to function properly, to go into denial is not going to help, it'll just make it worse,

it'll fester, so you have to attack the infection, you have to attack the disease, but you also don't

want to attack it to the point where you become so depressed, look at me, a sick person disease

God forbid, so the al-Tareb is balancing these two elements, so first he addresses that you need to

do something to break down the resistance of the word Mavatchin, and you need to attack with full

aggression, this disease, but don't ever think that you're a disease person, the disease has

become part of you, it's attached to himself, and who, who, who, who, who, he, how, Adam as he

explained, that is become the person when you're talking about, not at Sadik, at Sadik the person

is the divine soul, he's a healthy, spiritually healthy person, by Albania or Russia,

there the toxins have attached themselves and it's become this is a person that you can just say,

oh it's an external thing, I'll just dismiss it, I'll put on a bandaid, no you have to address it,

and sometimes you have to address it intensively and intrusively whether it's surgery or so on,

I'm using this as an example, but at the same time that's that doesn't define you,

it doesn't define who you are, so it is part of your life and you have to address it,

and Dishval Rua of chapter 29 and 30 are methods that help break down that resistance,

and now in chapter 31 he comes back and says, okay now that we've done that,

and don't be concerned just because you did do something, so to speak, that was critical,

was aggressive, because that aggression, aggression is there to break down the disease,

and to eliminate it, and you need to be Meneu Bay, Abba, or Minovidu Gommosa, you need something

from the disease itself to attack the disease, but the ultimate goal of that is healing,

not just fight the disease, not just to remain the rest of your life, God forbid to battle your

nevish abamus, that's not the purpose, that's not the goal, but you need to address it,

it's like the Rebbe explains, and he says, what's the Kisei say, and what's Ali vecha,

that you have to go to war, there's an Aevecha, there's an enemy, in this case the animal saw,

but never think that it defines you, as much as he or Adam, the person is defined by the nevish abamus

because you need to identify this is a disease, you need to address it, it's affected you,

it's attached itself to you, but you're always Kisei say Le Makhon, you're going out to war,

because that the real you is your nevish ala case, and it's Aevecha,

so after doing what you have to do to eliminate the disease, but when you're dealing with a healthy

situation, the ultimate goal is to create a healthy person, and you have to say to yourself,

I'm really a healthy person, the disease is an aberration, an anomaly, just like we speak about,

let's say Kheteh Zadaz, so God forbid we don't see it as original sin that has taken over and

controls a person, a person is a khelik alaqam in Maul Mamsh, created by Yip al-Bahab Nish Maschaim,

creating a divine image, the Kheteh, he has taqah, they're not khush, like we say later in

Pashaneyach, in Pashaneyach, that embraces, Yets al-Aevea Adam Raminaurov, he has a Yets al-Hara,

and Yets al-Hara attached itself and took control and seduced other Makhavati,

eat from the Yets al-Daz, now what happened, it affected them, they no longer can live forever,

there's a taksin, there's a Zuma, as we're going to learn a little later, about this is a time

actually, there's a Zuma, a Tuma, a spiritual taksins have a test themselves and affected their

lives, they would be banished from Ganaden, and they have to work hard to heal from that,

so you're clearly defining a disease, and it's very aggressively addressed, you can no longer

being Ganaden, I'm not just forgiving and forgetting, but that's not who you are, never forget,

that's not who you are, the whole goal is the healing, not to become identified with the

taksins and say, what should I do, I'm a sick person, I'm a disease person, a disease has

attached itself to you, and you need to address it, so this is the second part of the story,

that Al-Tarab is saying, that after the atswas, even for a moment of atswas, or what he called

that leads to Miritos, a sadness, over the fact that there's a disease, but what is it

evoking you, motivation, it's not like a resignation and giving up and a fatalism involved,

you're recognizing you have to do something about it, and therefore at least to the next step,

why, because he's been not able to, he's been not able to, he's been not able to, like he says,

the language, beautiful language of the Al-Tarab,

to say to yourself, to your heart,

not not once again, but reflecting upon the following, what he discusses,

say, the Yosheva Libye, you reflect in your heart,

Lanachmi Bikaflian, a double measure of comfort, that yes is true, all that was said was true,

is a disease and infection, a word that was resisted the fire, and therefore we needed to break

it down, we need to break the infection, whatever it takes,

so we're not dismissing that, we're not saying that's not correct, that's correct,

but the story is not over there, all that is a stepping stone toward healing,

so he says to the Layman Libye, to say to your heart,

M.S. who came,

B.S.

Yes, it is true,

that I'm very far from God, as far as it can be,

as well as repulsive and disgraceful, what does it mean?

I am the toxins within you are,

however,

Akhol Zeeh, who Anil Lavadi, who Agouf Imanefesha Yaliyunis Shaboy,

but this is true only,

the me, namely, my body, and it's energizing animal soul,

that's what we're identifying, when we talk about mischukings and mischukings, we're talking about

repulsive and being disgusted by it and doing everything aggressively possible to eliminate it,

you're not talking about the whole person, you're talking about the disease part,

so to go back to the example, in healing, a good doctor is going to tell the person,

yes, you have God forbid a terrible disease and we're going to attack it, we're going to fight it

with whatever we need, whether it's medication or surgery and all that, but remember,

you're a healthy person, fundamentally, the point is to get the healing process going,

like every doctor will say, we don't, we don't, we're not healers,

and the Hashem Refech, the God is the healer, but we can facilitate the process because we've

been given tools to know how to facilitate and get rid of the obstacles, then the natural healing

process and the human being takes over, this is a fact in life, so it's not like the diseases

become you and now you need some miracle healer, some miracle worker, no, the body has healing in it,

so to apply that muscle to here, I feel a bachala, no matter who the person is, even a kalsha

bachala, he has a piece of God, literally, found even a person who's so called a light when it

comes to observance, she never shall it kiss him, it's a lakus, mamash, amalubus, balachyesa,

which is a divine soul contained in an actual spark of godliness embedded in,

which is embedded in the soul to energize it, this is critical, if a person didn't have that,

got for a bit, then the disease you could say, what could you do, a person ages, or a disease has

taken over, and we'll try to mitigate, we'll try to minimize it, but no, the healing process is

there, it's gotten concealed, like within the saints, in the state of gollus, so this is the second

half of the story, this is even with tympanilev, remember before chapter 29, he didn't talk about

tympanilev, the blockage, and the wood resisting the fire, so there he didn't need that aggressive

approach, yet, but there were other aces how to deal with the animal soul, as discussed earlier

in tini, the whole tini is all about that, but here, even with a blockage that needs to be

aggressively attacked, keep in mind that is only part of that, that's only part of the story,

but the real person, the person, I don't want to say the real person because the disease is

become part of who we are after Hete sadas, but he says, but there's at the same time there's a

soul, a divine soul within the person, actually he begins gollus, so here is the critical point,

however, it doesn't contradict the fact that the disease has taken control of the person,

that's why there's a need for healing, that's with the need to aggressively attack the disease,

the toxins, but don't forget there's a healing, is a healthy individual within there, but

it's Biprinas gollus, it's in the state of exile or displacement, it's concealed,

so what do we take away from this, we take away from this is yes, there's a disease, we're going to

attack it, we'll do whatever it takes to get rid of it, but remember there's a divine soul within you,

now the divine soul isn't a concealed state, that's why you have to attack the disease,

but what does this lead to the person's feelings to be like, am I a diseased person and should I

become depressed and demoralized, or am I a healthy person that has gone into gollus, unfortunately,

my healthy side to me has been hijacked, so to speak, by this wood, this resistant wood,

by the disease, by the spiritual toxins, so therefore the al-Tarabah continues, we have

Adarabah, so that's the case, in this case, on the contrary,

so this leads you to that, not only not to be depressed, but because you know that you have this

divine soul, so the further a person is alienated, or speaking out in the first person,

akhoma shani, betach al-sarih, my shem, remember the al-Tarabah is giving us a language to speak to

ourselves, so think of the al-Tarabah as the doctor telling the person who has these just the

toxins in them, how to think about themselves, so the more the further I am, the alienator from God,

my shem, by the evil shickets, and the more repulsive in this graceful I become,

meaning the more the disease is so powerful, how the inevitable the key should be,

the goal is godly acid, what does that tell you? Not that you're a terrible person, the disease

is so terrible, it's telling you something else, look how deep, the healthy part of your being,

your divine soul, is in godly acid, is in a more deeper exile, and what does that lead to?

Not just a sadness that is exa'a, harachmanus allah al-Ghid al-Mahid,

and the more great is the empathy that you need,

so if a person was just to go back to the other scenario, a person is born, healthy person,

but you know what, that life goes in one direction, your age, your deteriorate,

your erodes, your health goes, disease comes, toxins got for a bit, but

and that's it, damage goods, there's no way back, this could be also not just physical disease,

it could be emotional, it could be psychological, and many people feel their damage goods,

now comes the spiritual doctor, the al-Tedabans says that's not the case, it is true,

all that has happened to you, like he said before, emis, it's all true,

and as a result, you are not becoming paralyzed, and immobilized, and demoralized,

you're doing everything possible to aggressively attack the disease, but keep in mind,

and this is part of why you're attacking the disease, that's not, doesn't define you,

if it's not, you've become damaged goods, and now you're a new type of person,

the wine sold within you, the healthy part within you is there, however, it's in a dark place,

it's concealed, and the more you feel the toxins, the more disease, the more,

the healthy part is concealed, been confiscated, and therefore we've a more dachmone sonnet,

so all this is actually a motivator, it should be uplifting, because you're fighting the disease,

you know there's a part of you that's waiting to be unleashed, the healthy part,

but there's a big rachmone sonnet because it's gotten that far, so here how the altitude

ever turns it around, you would think, most people would think the more toxins there are,

the more disgusted I would be with myself, and the more demoralized and the more negative I would

become, and therefore not motivated, says no, that only underscores how important is to recognize

the distance of my distance, and how the deep the divine soul has become concealed the healthy part,

and how despicable the tea of the shikids and repulsiveness is graceful, and how deep the rachmoneses,

and therefore what does this all conclude when a doctor conveys that to you and you're there

listening, this becomes a tremendous motivation, and all levels, will a zez, will a zez rather,

therefore us in Kolmagmossi Vikhafti, therefore I'll make it my singular mission and desire,

like it's siro la lesa mago la zez, now he's motivated, now that you're telling me that there's

really this healthy force at work, but it's working hard because it's concealed, it's

obfuscated or blocked by the animal soul, so I will do even more, I will strengthen myself to become

even stronger, like siro la lesa mago la zez, to get her out of this exile and displacement,

and bring her back up, you'll fight more to become a healthy, to become healthy,

and this is a big issue, you ask many doctors, they'll say there's the disease,

and everything that comes with that, but then there's how it demoralizes people psychologically,

they become depressed, and they feel they give up, and that can be worse than the disease itself,

comes out that everyone says, no, don't not give up, on the contrary, the bigger the disease,

the more motivated you should be to win over it, and conquer it, and eliminate it so your soul

can be freed again, like he says, la shival base avio canurae.

La lesa mago la zez, la shival base avio canurae, returning her to her father's house as in her

youth, based on the post in Ivoicra, cademps in his slapshabaguffy, all this is, I'll tell

that was giving us a language to speak to ourselves, it's interesting, he doesn't always do that in

Tanya, but here he does it because he wants to really give us tools and say, this is why you should

speak to yourself, not just I'm telling this to you, I'm giving you the language, training you how

to think about yourself when you're in this situation, contending with this animal soul,

toxins, and how you are cademps in the slapshabaguffy, before she was placed in my body,

now there's a divine soul, it was always a very healthy entity, before it was placed in the body,

it didn't have any connection to any of these toxins. Shosh and Nikhla was buried in his buruk

Miykhedas in my patachlas, she was absorbed in God's blessed light and completely united with him,

and furthermore, Vagama Ato came, because you could say, okay, that was then, that was before the

Nishama came, before the diseases that came from the body, and I'm talking about the spiritual and

psychological issues that the animal soul creates, Salta Rebus says, no, it's also now that way,

Vagama Ato came, because you could say, okay, that was then, but now it's not the case, no,

Vagama Ato came, now too, take Kulu Miykhedas by his butter, now too, she's going to be absorbed

and united with God. How? The disease has taken over, or the disease has affected the situation,

so in addition to everything you do to fight the disease, here's Kishya Asim, when I

will apply myself, call Magmusi Batata, I'll put all my energy, my entire focus,

and my singular mission, interterra, omitsvis, Lahalbiz Bahan,

call Eser Bukhinaseha, like we learned earlier in Tanya, chapter 23, and then earlier in chapter 5,

to make all the divine souls ten faculties immersed in terra-mitsvis, kineska li'il,

as mentioned above. In other words, it's not just, okay, I believe there's a divine soul somewhere,

so this takes us to the next step, so the doctor tells, in this case, the soul doctor tells

the person, it's not just I'm convincing you, or that convinced yourself that you're really a

healthy, there's a healthy force inside you, but there's a way to access it, whether it's exercises,

proper diet, proper rest, proper behavior, so in addition to fighting the disease,

there's also things to do, what is that in Rukheneas, what feeds the soul,

Khayyene Verichemene, what is its life in its sustenance, Tanya-mitsvis?

So in a person, basically, and it means not just again, not just the amuna that you have a soul

that's healthy, but you're actually applying yourself, call Eser Bukhinaseha, taking more than

ten faculties, khabad khagasnihim, and occupying yourself with Tanya-mitsvis, and now you're doing it,

not just because Hashem said so, you have an additional motivation to become healthy,

to access the healthy part, why would a person walk every day, or do other exercises, because the

doctor said that will strengthen your healthy side and help fight the toxins and the disease,

we'll be glad by Mitzvah's filler, as specifically, especially in the Mitzvah's filler,

of prayer, what is prayer add, Litsaik al-Ashem, Bitsad al-Omigalusab agufiyama shukhets,

to cry to God in distress, due to the divine soul's exile in my repulsive body,

so that's what prayer, prayer you ask for your needs, in prayer you cry out. So in addition to

Tanya-mitsvis in general, that strengthens the healing forces of the divine soul,

there's that filler that cries out, Litsaik al-Ashem and Misgar al-Ludovkabez barach,

to free her from the imprisonment, that the soul has become imprisoned, the divine soul

imprisoned in the animal soul, to be attached to God. So now we have a whole methodology

of what to do to access and bring to the surface this never-so-liquise that has such great

ahmarnesen because it becomes trapped in this toxic environment.

So what do we see here, that with all the negative thoughts, with all the toxins and the disease,

this is ultimately leading to a very positive force and we'll soon read inside that this

is actually going to create tremendous simcha. Then the al-Tereba continues and he says

the Zuhi begin a Chuvah-Maisim-Tavin and this approach is basically what Hazal called Chuvah-Maisim-Tavin,

Chuvah Chuvah and Goodeats. Perkyov is Gemul, Yudgimul, Perky-Gimul, Mission Yudgimul.

But here they come together, chuver and good deeds, because in addition to the good deeds,

that's the Taylor-Mitsvus that you do, but it's permeated with chuver, because you're

also fighting a disease, and you're aware of that.

So it's all part of the process of discovering healing.

Say in Micem Tevim, Sh. A. S. Kadeh, La Hushive, Khaelik, Hashem, Le Mikaedah, Bishar

Shabb-Khalalman, since why is it connected to chuver, Micem Tevim, because the Micem Tevim

are not just good actions in general, it's good actions with the focus of creating healing.

These good deeds are done to return your divine soul, which is a piece of God back to the

source and root of all the world, because it's become trapped in this gullus, now you have

to return it.

So that's chuver, Micem Tevim, and chuver from the word return.

And you do this, he continues, Bismkharabah.

I'm sorry, I skipped a few words.

There's Ace Tiavidosa, Kalyama, Bismkharabah, because of time we're going to stop here,

but this is now it's going to conclude, and therefore this is a way that has to be done

Kalyama, Kalyama, Bichuver, and it's done with Bismkharabah with great joy, as he's going

to explain why.

What is the joy?

The joy that you're freeing someone from prison.

You're freeing and unleashing the healthy forces, someone from disease and toxins.

That's a great sin.

But here we'll stop.

Soon the Al-Tarabah will explain how this is your CIS, Micem, we didn't have time to

get to that.

So meanwhile, let's continue celebrating Pesach, with keeping this in mind that Pesach

is both fighting the Khmats, which is connected to the Nevshabamis, and revealing the Nevshali

keys which are connected to Matsa, and both together work that they lead both by eliminating

the negative and going out of Midsuddin Vagvolin, all the limitations, in order to experience

the freedom and the Simkhah of Zmaqerosena.

May each of us be zehut to do this, and collectively, maybe be zehut to all of us being freed

from this gollist, the final steps, Nagula Hamid Isvashlema, a frailach and continued frailach

and caution and frailach and Pesach, and we are here every Matsaushabis, unless it's

out of 10 p.m. New York time, tanyaapplied.com, a good njantv, a good mojit.
