Welcome back, dear friends, to Daily Tanya.
Today, let’s delve into Chapter 35 of Tanya, where the Alter Rebbe provides a powerful analogy about distractions in prayer. Just as a servant fully focused on their master’s instructions wouldn’t notice a king entering the room, so too should our concentration in prayer be so intense that even fleeting thoughts become inconsequential.
This concept resonates deeply in our modern lives. We’re bombarded with distractions - notifications, emails, to-do lists - all vying for our attention. The Alter Rebbe reminds us that true focus, whether in prayer or daily life, requires conscious effort and a deliberate turning away from distractions to connect with something greater.
