Today, let’s delve into Chapter 11 of Tanya, where the Alter Rebbe delves into the nature of free will.
Have you ever felt torn between doing what you know is right and what your heart desires? The Alter Rebbe explains that this struggle is at the core of our existence. We have two inclinations – the good inclination, pulling us towards god and our higher purpose, and the evil inclination, tempting us with instant gratification.
The good news is, we have the power to choose! Each day, each moment, is a new opportunity to exercise our free will and choose the path of good.
