The Rebbe teaches, for there to be global unity, there cannot be individual dichotomy – similar to multiple personality disorder, if a person doesn’t have internal peace, can they have external peace? – to have internal peace, we must unify the two divergent souls that comprise who we are – in purely psychological terms, we must make from the id, a yid (maybe that’s why the first thing we do, is have a bris; and as you may (or may not know) women, are considered to be born with the benefit of the bris) In more spiritual terms, we must consider our Divine soul, which inhabits our animal soul/earthly body, to be who we are – once we can tame the tension, calm the chaos, merge the madness, we will have internal peace – now, many are those who put on a warm coat forgetting about those freezing outside – we must realize, that we all need the warmth of a fellow human heart, the love of a kindred soul, the compassion of God; so to do this, as our primary drive is our animal soul/earthly bod
