Today’s Tanya wraps up Chapter 7 of Shara Yichod Vamunah with an enlightening discussion on how God’s infinite energy flows into our finite world. Imagine a majestic river flowing freely, yet it’s carefully channeled through the banks of a valley. This is the essence of creation—Chesed, the kindness that allows for the flow, and Malchus, the containment that brings order.

From the ten utterances of creation, we see how even the simplest elements, like stones, are infused with divine energy. Each Hebrew letter holds power, and through gematria, we uncover hidden connections that reveal the soul within the inanimate. Every rock, every speck of soil, contains a spark of divinity, concealed yet vibrant.

As we reflect on the four names of God, we recognize that even the lowest forms of creation are vitalized by divine energy, reminding us that nothing is truly without life. This chapter invites us to see the sacred in the mundane—every part of creation whispers the name of its Creator, urging us to listen closely. Embrace the divine flow in all things, and find joy in the intricate dance of existence!
