Welcome, dear listeners. Today we delve into the wisdom of the Tanya, specifically focusing on the concept of continuous creation from the Likutei Amarim, chapter 41.
The Tanya teaches us that every single moment, the universe is brought into existence ex nihilo—out of nothing—by the Divine command. This is not a historical event, but an ongoing process. The words of the Creator, which He uttered at the dawn of Creation, are still vibrating, still generating the existence of all that is.
This notion is incredibly empowering in our daily lives. If the world is constantly being created anew, then every moment presents us with fresh opportunities. Our past mistakes do not define our present or our future. With every breath, we can reinvent ourselves, align our actions with our higher purpose, and connect with the Source of all life.
Moreover, this understanding instills within us a profound sense of humility. Just as the universe is dependent on the constant energy of God's creative speech, so too are we sustained by His benevolent will. It reminds us that we are not the masters of our own existence. Rather, we are participants in a divine symphony, each with our unique role, each note critical to the harmony of the whole.
Let this knowledge guide us through the day, encouraging us to make the most of every divine moment presented to us, to cherish the gift of existence and contribute positively to the world around us.
Remember, life is not static; it's a dynamic gift, continuously given. We can choose to live with intention, with awareness of the divine spark within us and within all of creation.
