Shalom, and welcome back. Today we’ll delve into Chapter 12 of Tanya, exploring a relatable struggle. We often face conflicting desires, good and not-so-good, battling within. The Alter Rebbe, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, teaches that the outcome hinges on our attention. Focus on the positive, and it gains strength. Dwell on the negative, and it takes root. Imagine two scales: one for good, one for the not-so-good. Our attention tips the balance. This concept empowers us to choose wisely, focusing on the positive to shape our actions and ultimately, our lives. This podcast was produced and sponsored by Daniel Aharonoff.
