------------------------------------------------------------------
                              
R. Shlomo often says "You never know -- you never know."  

A torah from all the rebbes:
Had we eaten from the Tree of Life, we might need to eat only oncein "40 days".  Basically, food has infinite energy. 

"The avodah [religious duty, service] of Yidden is that we arealways connected to that which is higher"
The Shema -- I close my eyes -- in G-d's presence I'm not existing-- 

(I only say Sh'ma twice a day, because if I'm living on the levelof [Union] I can't live -- G-d wants me to live 

Everyone knows that kaddish is Eyn Sof.  You can get completelylost

"If it's for us to bring Messiach, it means he's already part ofthe world."

The shul is not empty...but gevalt are they empty when they'refull.

If you call Reb Nachman [simply, in academic style] 'Nachman' itmeans you're not aware of the `Beyond' of Reb Nachman.
[Much of R. Shlomo's teaching is exegesis of texts by R. Nachman]

If I think they [the Patriarchs] were completely Beyond [[nothuman beings]] then what good is it?

The hippies...saw there was nothing Beyond ..."They wanted so muchsomething Beyond, but they didn't know how to bring it down tothis world."  Only the Torah brings it down to this world.

A non-religious [[not-strictly-observant]] person -- maybe thevessels [kelim] aren't so purified -- but the inside -- gevalt! 

HannaLeah:  I remember you [R. Shlomo] taught that when people areso close, they can't even talk in full sentences.

(You think the people who get divorced loved each other less thanthe people who don't?))

"Why did G-d create the world?  Because He loved us so much."[4-3]
.a3
If G-d is shining all the light into me, obviusly G-d needs me.
If I build a house for you, obviously I intend you to live in it.
G-d is as close to me as I am to `Him'. 
l6
[Punctuation added]
l1

"G-d has no police."

"My real need is my being in this world."

Torah...even if I don't know a word, the whole Torah's inside.

R. Nachman says...Mashiach is coming when we stop talking aboutyesterdays.

The way I operate -- my neshama is in my guf [Ie, you are not justyour neshama].  There is something when the neshama and guf aretogether, and that is called 'me'.

Sometimes you meet a person, and they wanted to do somethingwrong, and their feet won't let them.

When I bring someone flowers, I tell them, one day with you isworth more to me than 2000 eternities.

Davening means suddenly I cleanse my heart, there's an opening, Ican stand before G-d.

Why don't people get divorced before the wedding -- because beforethe wedding it's not contracted. [play on 'tzimtzum'] 

Ishbitzer...If you learn one Torah, you have to learn all theTorahs to get close.

If you really learn the Torah, then the Torah doesn't say badabout anyone.
(Eliahu haNavi was chosen to announce Messiach because he neversaid anything bad of anyone.)
There is evil in the world because the snake said something badabout G-d.  ((A Midrash says, the snake said to Eve that Adam wastoo old for her, since [according to Midrash?] Adam was 3 hoursolder.))

Snake says:  It's a mitzva to release your anger. 
Ok, [if you think it's a mitzva] first put on your Shabbosclothes, and then you yell [if you still can feel like it, withShabbat consciousness upon you.]  

Learning Torah not just for oneself, but for all Israel.

After the giving of the Torah the whole relationship between manand G-d has changed.

"The world wants to take away Israel from us because this is G-d'splace -- basically they want to throw out G-d from the world."    
Whatever happens in Israel, the world is turning over...becauseobviously this is the headquarters.

In Yerushalim is the place where I realize, when G-d created theworld, He created the world for me.

When you walk away (from the Holy Wall) you take the whole Wallwith you -- the Third Bet HaMikdash.

You can blow you mind over every word of the Torah.  You can blowyour mind over the fact that G-d gave us the Torah.

"Sometimes missionaries come up to me and say -- `I know G-d -- doyou?'"  [Belief in] Jesus -- for a person who lives in utmostdarkness, it's a flashlight -- [but] on Monday and Thursday, whenwe take out the Torah [it's like psychedelic light]...do you knowwhat [even] the lowliest soldier feels [in religiousawareness]?...

If I do a mitzva and it feels like I'm doing it forever, it'sholy.
Sometimes I talk to a person for a minute and that one minute wasforever.

"When G-d said, 'don't kill', suddenly He was shining into us, howprecious life is."
If you're more of a person, you also know 'don't kill' means'don't ignore' -- the preciousness of life.
"Why is there no peace in the world -- because they don't knowwhat peace is...how precious people are.

Don't steal...we have no idea how precious it is when somethingbelongs to you

A person who cant stand Shulhan Aruch [the code of religious law]-- they can't stand tzimtzum.  (They want the Eyn Sof.)

Ref:  Why do we say 'gut yomtov' -- that's redundant

What is it somebody has simcha yomtov and somebody has nothing? When I do a mitzva the simcha is infinite.  On yomtov G-d gives meback the simcha.
The more you are connected to Yidden, the more you can cash in onall the simcha in the world.
When I say to you, gut yomtov, I'm saying, can I cash in on youryomtov?
Gut yomtov -- that's redundant?  It means, you should be goodenought to hear that voice of yomtov.

We have to wipe out Amalek "from under the sky" [shemayim,heavens] (Exodus, 17:14) -- that means `Amalek' is `between' usand the `sky' ... the `Beyond'. 

Hannah -- suddenly it was clear to her, I prayed for this child(Shmuel haNavi)

Erev Pesach is yomtov -- because after bedike hametz [searchingout and removing the last hametz (that which is spoiled) from yourhabitation] you're not the same person.

Erev Pesach you daven fast -- fast is -- if I don't know the way,it takes me a long time to get there.

The way the Bobov Rebbe danced  from the baking to the oven...

(Hassidim asked R. Levi Yitzhak what the most important thing wasbefore Pesach.  He said) Make sure that no one yells at the womenwho bake the matzva.

Why did G-d take us out of Egypt.  Because we prayed so much.

Purim is `al lo yodeah' -- I don't know what it is, but I knowit's true.... On Pesach I don't get drunk like on Purim, because Ibrought it down a little bit.

If my inside is a slave to Pharoh, it is not Pharoh's fault, it'smy own stupidity.  

Seder night is:  everything is inside still...when it comes tooutside (vessels, kelim) children don't understand it.

At the Seder -- to yell and be angry is everything the Seder isnot.

(If you're out of Egypt, then the Torah has a place for you.)
 
((I'm all of the four sons.))

Ishbitzer says:  You have to look for hametz in all the cracks ofyour soul.

((What is being passed over?  Leaping steps in the spiritualjourney.))

What is matza -- The Torah is getting inside me. (Ishbitzer)

Matza is the greatest light from heaven.  Without tzimtzum, yetthe biggest tzimtzum in the world -- 18 minutes.

Pesach -- the beginning is -- G-d disregards me.

Ishbitzer:  "My own angel of death -- my own mistakes -- I'mhanging on to my yesterday mistakes with all my strength."
(March 24, 1993, 16:09 P.M.)

((So much we want to do for your children, and we only do a littleof it; so much they want to do for us.  When do they give it backto us -- Seder night, when they ask 'ma nishtama'.))

(The destructive force is saying to us -- who needs you.  A childhas this fear.)
"When do we tell our children that we couldn't do without them --Seder night."

The holiness of Pesach is that G-d jumped over [our] past [sins]

Matza is G-d's light reaching my kishkes.

Why is it hard work [at the Seder] -- because I have to makemyself into a vessel for hesed sh'b' hesed [the Sefira with whichwe begin the counting of the Omer on the evening after the (first)day of Pesach].

To a baby you can talk baby-talk, or you can talk much deeper thanyou can talk to an adult.  (So with the Torah.  ((Seder night wedo not talk baby-talk, we talk as babies tallk.)) [rephrased].

Why are we not permitted to eat after the afikommen?  
Because I need the taste of the ... Light forever. 

The hochma [Wise Son] wants to know...what is my place inJerusaliim.
The hocham feels the Presence of G-d.
The hocham is intellectually the highest, but I tell him, youshould eat nothing nothing after the afikommen, because the tasteshould stay with you.

What is bugging the Rosaha ["Wicked Son"}

He is a rasha because he tried to do good and he did not feel
G-d's presence.

The Rosha is a person who tried so hard.

The Rasha realizes G-d is still hiding from him.

(The Rasha wants to serve G-d, and he is a Jew, but his vision ofG-d is so deep, and he didn't find it.)

In all the Rebbes, the Rasha [Wicked Son] (does better than) theHocham [Wise Son].  The Rasha has a bigger neshama than theHocham.

Ref., Hagaddah, "you shall set his teeth on edge"

I'm telling him, the way you talk, you don't need teeth. 
You need so much deeper...but for that you have to use your ownteeth; don't use your Rebbe's teeth.
We have to chew it -- to cut it down -- limitation, tzimtzum -- toget it into us -- because we don't otherwise have the vessels.

That was the mistake of Adam haRishon -- so the Snake said, 'ifyou want to be like G-d' -- but anything that comes from G-d iscomplete 

Dew is Pesach; rain is Shemini Atzeret 
[Rain falls only sometimes; dew falls all days]

Rain begins in this earth, goes up, comes back.  Dew comesdirectly from above.  Rain may come any time; dew comes when nightis the darkest 
There is a 2-way relationship with Heaven -- sometimes I begin,"and sometimes G-d just gives it to me"

Anything that comes from prayers is `rain'; what comes from aplace rain can't reach is `dew'.
There is something inside of me where asking doesn't reach.  So"I'll be to you like the dew."
Do I really know what I'm praying for?  The inside of my prayersis so deep.
We can ask for rain because it is in preportion to our prayers --like business -- but we con't ask for dew because it is unlimited.
If you do good business with G-d, you receive gifts [as a sort ofbonus] -- but if you don't do business, you can't ask for a gift
"I want to give you gifts for no reason"
Even the gifts are also on the level of business -- you deservedit 
G-d shows us that we deserve it.

It feels so good that I get paid for my work.

G-d gives me -- $2 million -- [an infinite gift] in such a waythat I deserve it.
That headquarters (for those gifts) is so special

A chatan [bridegroom] can give a ring on the level of rain, or ofdew.
What was the mistake of the spies (Exodus, Shelach Lecha:) -- theythought the land of Israel was given on the level of business.
[When the spies said] We are not strong enough [to possess theland of Israel] -- [they meant] we don't yet have enough Torahmitzvas.
The fixing was -- Moshe says, nothing is big enough to deserve theland. 

Purim:  "Whatever we do, G-d is also doing.  Shelach manes --you're giving a gift.

G-d gives it to us like we deserve it, because when someone giveyou a gift and you don't deserve it, you're a little bit put toshame.

Maybe all my good deeds add up to 2, and G-d gives me 
$2,000,000.00

Why did it have to be so hard -- Yitzak can only be born after somuch davening -- and not ordinary davening

What [my bride, wife] is giving me -- even if I gave her 
$10 billion  I couldn't pay -- ... you can't pay, it's fromanother world.

Dew comes from a world where I don't reach.

G-d says, don't you know that your prayers do reach to that placewhere the Dew is -- 

Sometimes a person can give me one good word and it reaches where$10 million doesn't reach

Pesach:  Can you do enough Torah mitzva's to deserve freedom? Freedom, you can't buy.
