Shalom and welcome to your Daily Dose of Tanya. The Tanya explains that our souls have two primary motivations, a desire for good and a desire for self-gratification. The desire for good yearns for what’s truly beneficial, aligning with god’s will, while the desire for self-gratification seeks pleasure and avoids pain, often at odds with what’s right. Our daily struggles often stem from the conflict between these two desires, and the key to a meaningful life lies in empowering the desire for good to guide our choices and actions.
