Welcome back, dear friends, to another episode of Daily Tanya.

In chapter 37, the Alter Rebbe discusses the importance of not dwelling on negative thoughts. He teaches that just as we are careful not to consume unhealthy foods, so too must we be vigilant in guarding our minds from negativity. The Alter Rebbe compares negative thoughts to flies that can spoil a precious ointment. Just one negative thought can contaminate our entire mindset.

So, the next time you find yourself bombarded by negative thoughts, remember the analogy of the fly and the ointment. Strive to focus on the positive and elevate your thoughts towards god.
