A Great Teaching From The Rebbe regarding overocoming Pain

 

Life is synonymous with challenge, and challenge is synonymous with the potential for good and evil, and our ability to choose between the two.

 

Without the possibility that we may fail temporarily, there would be no independence to life, and therefore no meaning.

 

Pain and suffering are consequences of this independence, and of the dichotomy between body and soul.

 

By creating a harmony between body and soul, by moving from a physical one dimensional life into a spiritual two dimensional life you begin to transform your pain into a learning experience and a positive energy.
