Discovering the Duality of the Soul in Tanya

TanyaToday: Daily Doses of Divine Tanya Wisdom

In our journey through life, we encounter a profound duality within ourselves, as illuminated in the teachings of Tanya. Each person is graced with two souls: the divine soul, which seeks connection with god and aspires to uplift our thoughts and actions, and the animalistic soul, driven by instinct and material desires. This internal battle manifests in our daily decisions—choosing kindness over anger or generosity over selfishness. By recognizing and embracing this struggle, we cultivate compassion for ourselves, understanding that faltering is simply a moment influenced by the animal soul. Each small victory empowers our divine essence, allowing us to shine brightly in the world, fostering a deeper connection to god. This ongoing journey is both a challenge and a testament to our spiritual growth.
