Welcome to your daily dose of Tanya, providing practical wisdom for everyday living.
In today's lesson, we delve into the Tanya, Likutei Amarim, chapter 27. This chapter touches on the powerful struggle between our divine soul and our animal soul. The Alter Rebbe explains that when a person is faced with a challenge or temptation, it's the animal soul that is being aroused. Yet, he gives us a beautiful and empowering piece of advice: stand strong and do not be discouraged by this struggle.
Here's the highlight: Every time you resist a negative impulse, you're engaging in a sacred battle. You might think that spiritual people are those who don't have these urges, but the truth is, spiritual growth is about facing and overcoming these challenges. It's not the absence of struggle that defines your spirituality, but your perseverance and commitment to doing what is right, even when it's difficult. This is how we refine ourselves and the world around us.
Remember, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. By standing firm against our lower urges, we elevate not only ourselves but also the holy sparks hidden within the physical world, bringing us one step closer to a world filled with Divine light.
Thank you for tuning in. May today's learning inspire you to win your personal battles, and may we all merit to see a time when inner peace and goodness are revealed in every corner of the world.
