Rav Shlomo Katz continues Chapter 6 of the Alter Rebbe's Tanya and explores one of the most piercing truths: in our relationship with Hashem, there’s no standing still. Every thought, word, or action either draws us closer to Him or pulls us away.

There’s no spiritual autopilot. The beinoni, the striving soul, lives awake, knowing that even “neutral” ground is a decision.

What does it mean to truly let go of self and live with Hashem at the center?

Rav Shlomo Katz guides us into the world of bitul, not as self-erasure, but as the highest form of alignment with truth.

Drawing on the teachings of the Tanya and the inner world of Chassidus, we begin to understand that bitul isn’t weakness. It’s the soul’s greatest strength. It’s where ego melts, and the light of the Infinite can finally flow.
