Tanya – Chapter 9 – Class 3

The ultimate desire of the G-dly soul Is to convert the animal soul that she too should become a drive for holiness. To achieve this the G-dly soul needs to attain a much higher level of love that is called “love of delight”. Unlike the lower form of love which is compered to fire, an experience where one feels that G-d is far and distant and the human being is trying to bridge this gap, resulting in a thirst and burning passion to get closer. This higher love is like water that connects particles one to another here one feels the pleasure and bliss from being connected to G-d. Its this pleasure that the G-dly soul can share with the animal soul that will result in a total transformation of the unholy in man.
