Ah, dear listeners, we're diving into the cosmic mystery of divine hide-and-seek in today's Tanya portion, the grand finale of chapter 48. Imagine, if you will, the Infinite, the Ein Sof, playing a game of cosmic contraction, a divine Tzimtzum, pulling back to make space for this vast universe and all its quirky inhabitants.
Now, why would the Almighty, the Endless One, do such a thing? It's like an artist clearing a canvas, making room for a masterpiece to emerge. By veiling His overwhelming presence, Hashem stages the ultimate act of creativity, bringing forth a world that seems to stand on its own, yet is intimately linked to its Source.
But here's the kicker, folks: this world isn't just set into motion and abandoned like a clock left ticking. Oh no, Hashem is both the power plant and the battery, the dynamo behind every atom, every fluttering leaf, every beat of our hearts. By knowing, by being aware, the Divine energizes and vitalizes all. It's as if every strand of existence is an electric wire, and Hashem's knowing is the current flowing through it, invisible but indispensable.
So, when you feel a little disconnected, a tad unplugged from the grand scheme of things, remember this Tanya teaching. You're not just bobbing along in a cosmic ocean; you're swimming in a sea of divine attention, constantly revitalized by Hashem's knowing gaze. And that, my friends, is a thought to keep you charged up for the rest of the day!
