Planning to Study באתי לגני After This Shiur 0:00

When we're done learning, I'm going to be I'm going to learn באתי לגני.

After we're done with this. Yeah. Yeah, we're in the middle of באתי לגני, to figure out with באתי לגני. Somebody put out this list, משה מילר, he put out this list of like מאמרים to learn and שיחות and stuff to like I don't know exactly for what, like you know to like get a בקיאות in חסידות, I don't know, you know.

You saw it? So this guy wanted to to learn to learn a little bit, he wanted to learn this list. So, I don't know if the list is good or not, I mean, I didn't learn everything on the list so I don't know, I don't know how to make a list, I don't know what they did, based it on, but I figured, you know, that doesn't really matter whether the list is good or not.

Any מאמר on the list is a מאמר, it's a good, you know, good enough for me. You know what I mean? And like they have it like beginner, intermediate, advanced, but like it gets to a certain point where it's, you know, the השכלה of it all is basically the same.

Intellectual Level vs Real Application of מאמרים 1:00

It's not like so hard, the השכלה, it's all basically the same. You know, the hard thing is figuring out how to actually apply what it's saying in your life, and that's just as hard for an easy מאמר as a hard מאמר, so you know what I mean?

So, I don't care which מאמר we're learning. Right, so

like I was saying, so yeah, you know, the hard part like now it's already like the השכלה of the מאמרים isn't hard so much. You know, like, okay, sometimes a little harder, and like the ideas are basically like it's not such a big deal, you know, they're You know what I mean? Like it's not like I'm I'm discovering new levels so much on the map, you know?

Like a little bit, but it's not that's not the main thing. And, and plus in general, like I don't care. Like I used to like want to just find all the levels on the map, and like understand, then I wanted to understand what they meant, you know.

Now, I want to figure out how to actually or you know do it, how to actually apply it, and live it, you know? So, that that's already hard. In a way, an easy מאמר sometimes is harder because it it's more easy to just figure out what he's telling you to do, so it's a lot harder to do it. I mean, the hard part is to get yourself to do it.

The Real Challenge: Doing What We Learn 2:20

So, it's easier it's easier for it to be hard.

Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, I don't know, I like it. And I'll tell you the truth,

באתי לגני assumes you know a lot of stuff. It's not such an easy מאמר if you're going to like understand all the things cuz he doesn't explain a lot of the terms there. So, if you're just going to skip over the terms and say they're just high levels, then it's easy. But if you're going to actually, you know, you have to know what all all these things are, you have to know the סובב כל עלמין and ממלא כל עלמין, and אתכפיא, and אתהפכא,

and you know, I don't know, תוהו, and the the two פירושים, and I mean there's a lot of stuff to even, you know, to appreciate what he's really saying.
