Have you ever treated your body like the destination instead of the vehicle? The Ramchal teaches that our neshama is a “treasure from the highest,” totally untouched by physical pleasures and yet lodged within our guf . We live by default as if the body—our senses, comforts, and status—is who we are. But what happens when you recognize that your real identity is this lofty soul, and that your body exists only to serve it? How do we realign our daily choices so our guf becomes a holy instrument rather than the master? Why does the neshama sometimes rebel at leaving the body, and what does that teach us about genuine avodas Hashem? This episode will unveil how to shift from being “the car” to becoming the driver, empowering you to live with purpose—body and soul united in sanctity.
