What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mendel Kessin’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Okay, so we're in chapter eight. So, the Ramchal says um that somebody who is claiming to be uh the uh the shleimus, he calls it shleimus, perfection, really do it by the various parts, inside these diamonds of light. If somebody resembles his creator, so clearly he is worthy, as the Ramchal said, he is proper or it's appropriate for him to have what we call the state of deveikus. Why? Because he was cleaner, he acquired the shleimus, the perfection. Okay? And um what the Ramchal says in this gimel is several terms that are used. is several terms that are used. There are several terms that are used. And they seem in many ways they seem identical. The concept of toiv, goodness, the concept of deveikus, attachment, the concept of shleimus, perfection, the concept of tikkun, correction, you know, there's certain terms seem to be similar. seem to be similar. So, the real question what's the difference between all these terms? Okay. Now, if you had recalled what I had said is that the concept of toiv, if you remember what the definition was that which is good means means something which enhances a being. It enhances a being and then evil is a detraction or negation of being. This is the concept of good and evil. And so therefore, when we say And so therefore, when we say that the bonchum is mated that he will give us toiv. I think that explains what happens in the world of our world. Did I explain what happened in the world of our world? Which So, I explained what what the world of our world is. You mentioned about levels of existence or what their levels would be. Yeah.
