Welcome, dear friends, to our exploration of Tanya, where we delve into the depths of the human spirit.

In Chapter 34, the Alter Rebbe delves into the concept of “bittul,” self-nullification. Just as a candle loses its individual flame when entering a blazing furnace, we too can experience a merging, a unification, with something far greater than ourselves.

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, amidst our worries and aspirations, it’s easy to feel disconnected.  But when we tap into that wellspring of unity, when we realize our interconnectedness with all of creation, a sense of profound peace washes over us.

This, dear listeners, is the essence of bittul.
