Welcome! Today, we delve into the Tanya's timeless wisdom on the struggle between our higher and lower selves. The Alter Rebbe teaches us that each of us harbors two souls: one divine, striving for holiness, and the other animalistic, drawn to worldly desires. This inner conflict is part of our journey.
When faced with temptation, remember that your divine soul yearns for connection with god. Embrace the notion that every challenge is an opportunity for growth. Each time you choose to act with kindness or pursue a noble cause, you strengthen your divine essence.
Think of the daily choices: how we respond to others, how we prioritize our time. These moments shape our character and define our spiritual path. The Tanya reminds us that even the smallest act of goodness can illuminate our world. Let us be mindful of our choices and strive to elevate our thoughts and actions, bringing us closer to our true selves.
