[Music] the more i know i'm teaching in partial sl gives a very important yasoda that in order for us for us to feel hashem's revealed good in this world hashem sends it through a constriction which is derived from the world of guru and only then one is able to feel hashem's revealed good in this world why does it have to be that in order to feel hashem's revealed good in this world we hashem's revealed good in this world we have to go through a period of constriction of simpson of a diminishing of hashem's light so this idea is already in the fabric and dna of the creation of the world is where binachum teaches in that in order for the infinite created to create the world that is to put aside his light and create a halal happanui a place where god's light is keviajo removed and hidden and put on the side from this world and this is tsimsum the idea of tsimsum that in tsimsum the idea of tsimsum that in order to create the greatest revelation of the world hashem had to create a constriction of his light before creating the world we also find this in nature that in order to create plants the seed is put down and the see seed rots and only only after the seed rots there's a germination of a new tree of a new seed of a new plant it has to be to go through this constriction we see this in the teva and the majority asks how does hashem's light come into this
