Welcome, dear friends to Daily Tanya.
Today we will delve into Chapter 12 of Tanya, where the Alter Rebbe, Rabbi Schneur Zalman, delves into the nature of joy and pleasure.
The Alter Rebbe explains that true joy stems from the essence of the soul, which is connected to god. This connection evokes an inner delight that transcends fleeting worldly pleasures.
In our daily lives, we often chase external sources of happiness, which ultimately prove temporary and unfulfilling. The Tanya teaches us to cultivate inner joy by nurturing our spiritual connection to something greater than ourselves. By aligning our thoughts and actions with god’s will, we tap into a wellspring of lasting fulfillment and contentment.
