Welcome, dear friends. Today, we explore a passage from the Tanya, Likutei Amarim Chapter 32. The Alter Rebbe explains that every Jew, by virtue of his innate love for G-d, would willingly sacrifice his life rather than deny the one true G-d. This love is compared to a tiny flame that, with proper contemplation, can become a roaring blaze.
Let's reflect. We all have this tiny flame within us, a unique connection to G-d. It is a flame that even in the darkest times refuses to extinguish. Our challenge is to fan the flame, to engage in contemplation and practice that strengthens our connection to G-d.
Consider the flame as the love we have for G-d. How do we increase this love? Through learning Torah and observing mitzvot. Each time we dedicate ourselves to these holy tasks, we fan the flame, making it grow stronger and brighter.
But remember dear friends, this is not a one-time effort. It requires regular nurturing. Just like a fire needs fuel to keep burning, our love for G-d needs constant nourishment.
And so, in our everyday life, let's challenge ourselves to find moments to fan our flame, to connect with G-d through Torah and mitzvot, and turn our tiny flame into a roaring blaze.
