Welcome! Today, we reflect on the Tanya's teaching about the struggle between our higher and lower selves. In our daily lives, we often find ourselves torn between our aspirations for greatness and the distractions that pull us down. The Tanya explains that this inner conflict is not only normal but essential for growth. Just as a diamond shines brightest after being polished, our souls become refined through overcoming these challenges. When we encounter temptation, it’s an opportunity to elevate our spirit. Every moment of struggle can lead to profound insights and a deeper connection to god. Embrace these moments; they are the very essence of our spiritual journey. It is in the wrestling with our desires that we find strength and clarity. Remember, every small victory over negativity adds to the light within us. Let’s strive to nurture our higher selves, illuminating the world around us. This podcast was produced and sponsored by Daniel Aharonoff.
