Today, let us delve into the profound wisdom of Chapter 11. In the tapestry of life, we often encounter threads of joy and sorrow, moments of elation and despair. The Tanya teaches that within our souls reside two inclinations — the good inclination and the evil inclination — engaged in a perpetual struggle for dominance. Just as a charioteer skillfully guides his horses, so too must we strive to harness our inclinations, directing our thoughts, speech, and actions towards goodness and righteousness. Even amidst life’s inevitable challenges, remember this: the power to choose our path lies within us.
