Welcome to today's Daily Tanya study. In today’s episode, we explore a passage from Likutei Amarim, chapter 26, where the Alter Rebbe discusses the struggle against the evil inclination. The Tanya teaches us that every person is capable of waging an internal war against their negative impulses. The Alter Rebbe encourages us to be like a warrior, overcoming our evil inclination by employing the power of the soul that is connected to the divine.
The lesson here is timeless and universal. Each day, we face challenges and choices that test our character and values. Our sages advise us that we should not be disheartened if we must struggle repeatedly; the very effort is valuable and purifying. Victory in this context is not about never falling, but about the persistence to rise and continue the struggle with determination.
This message is incredibly relevant to our everyday lives. It reminds us that personal growth is a constant battle, one that requires resilience and courage. The struggles we endure in mastering our impulses are not signs of failure, but are, in fact, the markers of our spiritual journey. They are opportunities for us to connect with our higher selves and to bring sanctity into the mundane.
Remember, it’s the struggle itself that refines us and elevates our existence. Embrace the challenge, for it is the path to true achievement and inner peace.
