Shalom Aleichem, dear listeners. Today, let's delve into the profound teachings from the Tanya, the fundamental work of the Chabad philosophy.
In the Tanya, it is taught that every Jew, regardless of their level of observance or knowledge, possesses a divine soul that is literally a part of God above. This means that within each of us exists a divine spark, a piece of the Divine Essence, which motivates us to do good and fulfill our purpose in this world.
This teaching is profoundly empowering. No matter what challenges we face, no matter how far we might feel from holiness, we are always, essentially, a part of the Divine. This inner divinity is our true identity, and it drives us towards good, towards fulfilling the commandments, and towards connecting with our fellow humans with kindness and compassion.
When we face a moral decision, we can draw on this teaching. By remembering our divine soul, we can find the strength and inspiration to choose the path of goodness, kindness, and Torah. And by doing so, we actualize our divine potential, bringing light into the world and drawing ourselves closer to our Creator.
Remember, no matter what, your divine soul is your truest self. Nurture it, listen to it, let it guide your way.
