We begin Chapter 2 of the Likutei Amarim – also known as Tanya and the Sefer Shel Beinonim because for the most part it deals with the duties of the average person (neither overly righteous nor overly evil.) We begin by learning more about the Godly soul itself – which is a portion of God in reality (as invested in a human body.) We continue to learn more about how it is that we can even speak about God in a physical manner – after all, God is by no means physical in any way whatsoever. How can we then relate anything of our physical world back to a God who exists outside of physicality (and really even outside spirituality!)? Yet the souls that enter bodies are an actual part of God manifesting themselves in the physical world.
