Shalom and welcome to today’s Daily Tanya.

The Tanya explains that even the greatest of sages experience a clash between the soul and the animal soul, particularly when it comes to mundane matters like eating or drinking. Just like we learned yesterday, this conflict is a part of life, a constant struggle between our desire for physical gratification and our spiritual aspirations. The key takeaway here?  Don’t be discouraged by these internal battles. They’re not a sign of weakness, but rather a testament to the potential for greatness that lies within each of us. By recognizing these desires and consciously choosing a spiritual path, we elevate ourselves and come closer to god.
