Chapter 2- connecting through the head

In the Tanya,

We have learnt,

In us are 2 souls,

Good and animalistic.

We talked about the bad

So let's move on  to the good

In what way is it configured?

What does it tell us to do?

The second soul,

The Alter Rebbe says,

Is a piece of G-d,

It is selfless.

Its entire goal,

Is to cleave to G-d,

Is to do the things,

That the Tora says we should.

But, we come to the question,

If it is G-d, one and alone,

How come some of us are so connected,

And others are more distant?

The answer to this,

Relates to the riddle of a man,

Who is born,

From the seed of a father.

We know in the seed,

Is the infrastructure for all,

The head and the nail,

It’s all found in it.

So my dear friends,

It's the same as the Jew,

Who leads all the people,

Or leads just a few.

The heads of the people,

Are analogous to the mind,

And the simpletons,

Are like the nail.

Of course none are more,

Or less part of Divine,

Yet some feel it more,

And others feel it less.

The same thing we know,

Explains the terms “heads of Jews”,

The head is someone ,

Who feels a connection to Hashem more than others.

So for the average man,

The trick is connect to the head,

And then we too can feel it,

Our connection with Hashem.
