Shalom, and welcome back.

Today, let’s delve into the Tanya, Chapter 11, where the Alter Rebbe discusses the struggle between our animal soul and godlike soul.

Imagine this: You’re exhausted after a long day, but the garbage needs taking out. Your animal soul screams, “Relax! Tomorrow!” Yet, a whisper from your godlike soul insists, “Just do it now.”

This, my friends, is the daily battle within us. The key is recognizing both voices and consciously choosing the path aligned with god’s will. It’s not about being perfect, but striving, each day, to hear and follow the whispers of our higher selves.
