Welcome! Today, we delve into a profound teaching from the Tanya that speaks to our daily challenges. The Tanya teaches us about the duality of the soul, emphasizing that within each of us resides both the divine and the animal soul. This struggle is what makes us human; it’s a constant battle between our higher aspirations and our base instincts.
In everyday life, we often find ourselves pulled in different directions, whether in moments of anger or temptation. Yet, it is in these very moments that we have the power to choose. By nurturing our divine soul, we can elevate our actions, transforming mundane moments into opportunities for connection with god.
The key is awareness. Recognizing that this inner conflict is natural allows us to approach it with compassion for ourselves. When we choose kindness, love, and connection, we align ourselves with our true purpose.
Let us take a moment today to reflect on our choices and strive to elevate our daily lives. This podcast was produced and sponsored by Daniel Aharonoff.
