Welcome! In Tanya, we learn about the duality within ourselves—the animal soul and the divine soul. Each day, we face choices that reflect these two aspects. The animal soul seeks immediate gratification, often leading us away from our higher purpose, while the divine soul yearns for connection with god and the pursuit of goodness.
Every moment is an opportunity to elevate our thoughts and actions. When we feel pulled by our base desires, we can pause and reflect: what is the greater good? This practice brings us closer to our true selves and strengthens our relationship with god.
Consider the small daily decisions: how we respond to a challenge, the kindness we show to others, or even how we use our time. Each choice is a chance to align with our divine soul, creating a ripple effect of positivity in our lives and the world around us.
Let us strive to nurture our divine soul and make choices that reflect our highest values. This journey of self-discovery and growth is what binds us together in the quest for meaning.
