Lessons in Tanya musings day 27 1/26/2023

Chapter 16.  Today's episode discusses the struggle of the Beinoni when they can't feel love or fear of Gd.  How do we keep ourselves motivated to fulfill our obligations when we aren't finding the emotional connection we wish to have?  In this chapter, we discuss how love and fear of Gd are innate and the mission to reveal that which is concealed through our actions, speech and thought.  We also discuss how Gd, through the Torah, is the bridge of the mind and body, being the conduit to help us grow spiritually.  This discussion leads to a message about not giving up the search and presuming the grass is greener on the other side because often the thing we are looking for is already here.
