Tanya Class Chapter 40 (A) - Class #101

Tanya Chapter 40 In this class, we discussed how a mitzvah performed without intention can remain “stuck” in this world. This led to a deeper conversation about the external and internal dimensions of reality, as well as the two ways G-d conceals His light: 1. By contraction (quantity) and 2. By veils/curtains (quality). A mitzvah without intention remains bound within the illusion of this world, while intention allows it to rise beyond it.
