Questions for today:
The Tanya has helped us feel our love for the Creator at very high levels of our living experience. However, there are parts of our lives that go beyond that. Is there a way to feel a love for the Creator above everything we’ve described?
The Tanya has been transforming the concept of loving the Creator from a checkbox item that we mark as done to something that expands and incorporates the entire human experience.
We explained that we see the Creator as our life and therefore we can love the creator with our entire being. We also said that we could be humbled to the Creator, like a child is humbled to the parent.
Now we go above and beyond to the next level of love.
Have you ever seen fuel burst into flames? You're watching something that's not comfortable in its box, and it has to expand beyond its limits.
If we think of the Creator not only being our life, or even something that we could be humbled to, but something above and beyond anything we relate to, it's possible for us to have a love for the Creator like a flaming fire.
Our love can be bursting out and saying that I really want to reach out, above and beyond.

Tanya book 1, ch 44, Pt 5
Today we describe a love that we can achieve when we contemplate that the Creator is truly beyond our comprehension and can’t be compared to anything in our realm.
Through this, our love can be like a burning flame, that yearns to reach beyond its limits.
