Anchoring Our Identity in Holy Essence (Yichud HaHisbodedus #36)

What’s said in this shiur

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

Okay. So, we jump back into our learning of this and we are in the sixth chapter and we are on the the letter hey. So, there are two different packets. So if you have the one that started from the beginning, you just turn a a page or two. Oh, you you have the second one. Um so but try to find the letter hey if you can. Um it's on page B. So in the newer booklets, it's just on the like right in the front page. And the continues speaking about this dual possibility of relationship where there's a relationship of the outside and there is a relationship of the panmus and he's been belaboring this point because it's such a nuanced one and it's such a deep one and it's such a simple one but it's such a crucially important one that we have to say it again and again and again and again and again. So here he says like this and the following is a very crucial and important principle. When in a relationship the bulk of the relationship and the focus is on what's called an external kind of grace. you hear us also know today's parlance we would probably call it infatuation right where there's something external about the person there's something attractive in in in on a personality level where a person just falls head over heels right way way way quickly and it can seem like a really strong relationship and It it would appear that these two people are deeply deeply connected. But but it's also possible like you say, you know, you can fall into love, you fall out of love, right? Just as quickly.
