In chapter 37 of Tanya, the Alter Rebbe teaches that just like a candle’s flame naturally always goes upwards even if a strong wind pushes it down, the god-given soul always desires to fulfill god’s will. However, the material world can sometimes act like a strong wind, pushing us down and obscuring our true essence.

The key takeaway here is that no matter how far we feel from our true potential, that spark of wanting to do the right thing, to connect with god, always remains. It is never extinguished.
