Shalom and welcome dear listeners to the Daily Tanya with Rabbi Solomon Sage. In today's session, we delve into the Tanya, Likutei Amarim, Chapter 32. It's a text that speaks directly to the challenges we face every day to live a life of goodness.
The Tanya teaches us that every Jew possesses two souls, the animal soul and the divine soul, each vying for control. Our animal soul is self-centered, desiring physical pleasures, while our divine soul is a piece of G-d Himself, desiring to connect with the divine.
Here, the Alter Rebbe emphasizes the concept of 'Ahavat Yisrael', the love for fellow Jews. He says, "When you love another Jew, you love your own divine soul." This is because every Jew shares the same divine soul, and by loving your fellow Jew, you are essentially connecting with your own divine essence.
In our daily lives, we often find ourselves in situations where we're tested to uphold this principle. But remember, every act of kindness, every word of comfort, every gesture of love to another Jew, brings us closer to our divine soul and ultimately, to G-d.
In conclusion, the Tanya, in this chapter, guides us to live a life of love and unity. It reminds us that the path to divine connection is paved with love for our fellow beings. So, let us carry this teaching with us throughout our day, and let it guide our actions and thoughts.
