Tanya Class: Chapter 41 (D) - Class #106

In this class we discussed that while both reverence and love are essential "wings" for spiritual practice, even minimal awareness of G-d's presence can qualify as reverence, such as acting appropriately when knowing G-d is watching. The discussion explored how souls develop differently and may naturally gravitate more toward love or reverence, and emphasized that true service of G-d involves doing mitzvot even when they go against one's natural inclinations. The session concluded with an explanation of the kabbalistic concept of uniting G-d's Shekinah with His sublime light through mitzvot, with the ultimate goal of bringing about the Mashiach when these lights are fully merged.
