On this significant day of the 10th of Shevat, we delve into Tanya's teachings, revealing the intricate tapestry of divine unity that binds all existence. The profound truth unfolds: God is everything, and everything is an extension of God, even the darker aspects of life. Picture a vibrant interplay between light and shadow, where impurity serves a purpose—the gift of free will.
As we explore the duality of divine energy, we find that holiness flows freely, while negativity is shrouded in concealment. This complex dynamic challenges us to recognize that even in our struggles, the Divine Presence accompanies us, urging us to see beyond the veil. When we mistakenly perceive forces as separate from God, we risk losing sight of the ultimate truth: there is no "other" power.
Embracing this knowledge invites us to reconnect with the essence of the Divine, reminding us that every moment is infused with Hashem's presence, even in the depths of darkness.
