A fascinating chapter into the world of the city of the human body. Its inhabitants include the limbs of the body. But who is the king? There are two. There is the Animal Soul which believes it has full rights to rule over the city and there is Godly Soul which believe it has full rights to rule over the city.
Each of the kings wants to make the inhabitants been under their rulership expecting the limbs to acknowledge it has supreme king and agreeing to its terms and conditions. Our chapter focuses on the behaviour of the Godly soul which wants the body to do as it dictates in every way – in thought, speech and action.
The chapter concludes by telling us that just as the rulership applies to the Godly soul – so too does it apply to the animal soul. Now the real battle begins and the Tanya will continue to elaborate on the real test that the Beinoni (the middle/average man) must fight each day.
Who will win? Only time will tell…
