Lessons in Tanya Musings Day 62 3/17/2023

Part two of chapter 37.  We continue to look at how we can reveal the divine light in the world.  This piece looks at how we derive energy from food and drink as items that give us energy to fulfill mitzvot.  We review how avoiding transgressions allows the divine energy to continue to influence the world.  If we transgress a prohibition, it seems the shells come back.  I also offer a small additional point on how preparations allow us to be open to experience the light that is hidden in a mitzvah or in a day, as derived from a book I'm reading called B'Yam Darkecha.
