The summary of the Tanya, which is really the summary of Jewish mysticism, as it is the Bible of Jewish mysticism, which I never really understood, till this moment, is remarkably simple, and that is that there are three dimensions – the dimension that we are in, is called Kelipas Noga, which means we are mixtures of Good and Evil, and we are not aware that we are mixtures, so some of our instincts, as we find empirically compassionate, while others are selfish, and the capacity for anger, and sex and sadism – out of context of say marriage and Justice – is obviously there as well – and hence unless we are humble to the Divine which was revealed in the Torah and through His prophets, as well as can come individually through as the Rebbe taught, a Mashpia / Chasidic mentor or the Divine voice – we are susceptible to the incredible amount of evil which desires to use us; for when we engage in it, it’s Force, if not very existence, is increased
The sum total of practical truth, is the past informs the present, the present then repeats the process – all along, the infinite desire, that we should infinitely grow, occurs
