Welcome, dear listeners, to another enriching episode. Today, let's delve into the profound depths of the Tanya, a fundamental work in Chassidus, written by the great Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi.
Imagine you're in a race. In a race, every step brings you closer to the finish line. Similarly, when you perform a mitzvah, any mitzvah, you're not merely fulfilling a divine commandment, but you're connecting with the Infinite, bringing yourself closer to the divine essence.
In the Tanya, the Alter Rebbe explains that every Jew is inherently good, possessing a divine soul. This divine soul, the Nefesh Elohit, is intrinsically connected to its divine source, like a flame to a candle. When we perform a mitzvah, we ignite this divine flame within us, connecting it back to its source, and illuminating the world around us.
Remember, dear friends, every time we choose to do good, to perform a mitzvah, we're not just doing an act of kindness, we're racing towards the divine, igniting our inner divine flame, and illuminating the world. So, keep running the good race.
