Today, we’ll delve into Chapter 33 of Tanya, which delves into the concept of two souls, an animalistic and a godly one, constantly vying for control. Just like how we face internal struggles daily – to indulge in that extra slice of cake or stick to our diet, to hit the snooze button or jumpstart our day – we grapple with these two opposing forces. The animalistic soul, driven by earthly desires, tempts us towards instant gratification, while our godly soul yearns for spiritual elevation, urging us towards righteousness and purpose.

This passage reminds us that life is a constant tug-of-war, and recognizing these internal struggles is the first step toward empowering our divine essence and living a more meaningful life.
