Welcome, dear friends, to our brief exploration of Tanya, where we delve into the wisdom of Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi.
Today, we turn to Chapter 11, where it discusses the two souls residing within us. You see, we have an animal soul, driven by earthly desires, and a god-given soul, yearning for spirituality. Our daily struggle is to elevate the animal soul, harnessing its energy for good. Imagine trying to study Torah while your favorite food calls to you from the kitchen. That’s the animal soul vying for dominance.
Yet, by focusing on the divine purpose within our actions, we elevate even the mundane to a higher level. Remember, even in those challenging moments, we can choose to reveal the godliness within.
